"She wanted to make sure the kids didn’t win because if they didn’t win the cali-twins and by extension Lord English would never have existed" but they did win so? what does that mean?
It means Lord English exists and the timeline is intact. Everything is how it should be.
People often forget Eridan agreed to a date with Cronus. Act 6 Intermission 3 somewhere, when Meenah and Vriska were supposed to fight. I can message proof if you'd like.
No need, I remember that very clearly. There were many a joke when Ministrife came out
would it technically be possible for the (troll) ancestors to be in the dream bubbles as ghosts? i mean since the dancestors were there and the condesce ended up in the session it seems that it might be??
From the process of retcon-ing, didn't the retconed time line John die? And if he did, so the Roxy if the new retcon time line die too, since we don't see two Roxys around?
Yes they both died. John got exploded and Roxy got stabbed
Alright, here's a crazy theory. We know Karkat's a mutated lime blood, and that they have a supposed ability to calm the rage of the high bloods (Karkat's paps+shooshes) and now all of the lime bloods are extinct. Do you think the sopor slime pies are possibly made from the blood of lime bloods?
Sopor Slime is a calming agent, so it’s possible. But it’s unlikely given how the Lime Bloods have been extinct for a while and blood does go bad
aranea was trying to make the timeline where the kids never finish the game the Alpha timeline so that way caliborn never becomes Lord English right? did she ever really understand what she was doing? i mean, i guess she succeeded because the kids never did make universe C for him to exist in, but isnt that a plot hole? a broken time loop? how tf was caliborn even speaking to the kids in that pre-retcon timeline then? is that plot hole why aranea ultimately failed?
She knew she was creating a doomed timeline, she theorized that a millennial old Sylph of Light could heal the timeline into becoming the Alpha. But she ultimately failed and GAME OVER happened. Had she been a Sylph of Time, maybe things would have worked differently.
(Different Anon) I thought the whole point of John retconning the timeline was BECAUSE she succeeded in making it alpha. If it was a doomed timeline, why would John have to make the deal with Typheus to create a new alpha?
He made the deal with Typheus to master his retcon abilities so that he could move himself and his planet into the Alpha timeline.
Cherubs seek out a m8 similar to the sibling they dominated over. When they find each other they promptly beat the shit out of one another. The loser lays an egg. And the cycle begins again
If the kids fail in the game over timeline and don't make universe C, how is caliborn talking to the kids in that universe? He isn't talking to them from the alpha timeline twice is he?
This isn’t explained but it most likely has to do with how John’s retcon abilities are different than normal time travel and how they affect the meta
How come Karkat is supposed to lead the new race of trolls? I thought the troll's game going to shit and the creation of Bec Noir was all Karkat's fault, wasn't the point that he was always a crap leader?
Karkat was a decent leader he managed to unify the trolls after all. The troll session was actually fairly normal, it didn’t go to shit at all. The creation of Bec Noir can be pinned on Gamzee and Vriska (go figure).
Why did Jasprose retain some of Jaspers personality when other human/animal sprites (Davesprite, GCATavros, Jadesrite) seemed to entirely overwrite the animal with the human, leaving only things like barks
Because Jasprose is a sprite^2 and Jaspers was already a sprite when they were prototpyed
but rose was also a sprite when she and jaspers fused. i wouldnt say jaspers maintained personality while rose didn't. i think its more like rose just letting go of inhibitions due to her new cat half
Maybe. I prefer to think the personalities melded together like in Davepeta.
do u think hussie thought about mom and dad being related when mom and lalonde liked each other or do u think he made them cousins after and was like.. oh... bc.. this is messing me up
But they aren’t biologically related so either way it doesn’t matter
so, the troll ancestors are the pre-scratch versions of the alpha trolls/dancestors, right? is there a reason why they look more similar to the beta trolls than to their alternate versions?
The ancestors are post-scratch versions of the Alpha trolls. And they do look similar so I’m not quite sure what you’re talking about. And differences in appearance can be attributed to life choices or the fact the the ancestors are adults while the Alpha trolls are like 19/20
how did terezi avoid culling when her lusus wasn't around? especially since mindfang's journal makes it sound like being raised by a dragon is super outdated to begin with?
The same reason Dirk was able to raise himself. They’re just that すごい
