What do you mean? All Trolls reach adulthood within their lifespans, no matter how reduced they are for the lower castes.
Really you just need to appeal to interests they may have and chat about it sincerely, if they just dismiss it like that even after having the stuff they enjoy appealed to, they may just be a lost cause.
We don’t know if this take place after Polypa heals or before she gets hurt though.
The Skaianet computer was configured for the eight-planet post-scratch session.

God I love how complex and interwoven the Aspect system is, it could’ve been so simple, just like, go with very limited concepts for each Aspect, but no, each of them is their own world with so much nuance. You could have an entire story based around every one of the Aspects individually and what they represent, really. Sometimes I wish we had access to Hussie’s notes.
Huh, so it does, I had no idea actually! Hehe.
Depends on if there’s other Computers playing SBURB in the dorm or not. we do know SBURB isn’t opposed to taking chunks of buildings.
Likely somewhere around the Human equivalent of 20-21 or maybe a bit later. The Dancestors are all 9 sweeps old, which is 19.5 Human Years, and while it could be a stylistic choice, they do not seem Adults, they are older than the Kids, but they are still not on the “Adult” sort of spectrum. So yeah, 20-21, maybe 23-24 at most? 10 Sweeps sounds round enough. 11 Sweeps could tie in with the Cherub Numerals, with the LE-Controlled Alternia.
I believe all of them? I may have to double-check Karkat.
Vriska for the next ARMS character, because damn that’s some reaching.
It´s vague honestly, and there is some nuance to each case, but it does seem like Heir Familiars are more subservient to begin with, while Witches have a sort of tug of war with the powers of said Familiar- Think John just sending WV off on a Windy Quest shortly after meeting him, versus Jade’s almost Lusus-like relationship with Bec.
There’s a slight bit of interchangeability and nuance, as with most passive/active divides, but that does seem to be the case.
I could see him as a Seer actually, he really goes in-depth with his explanations to really try and convey information and share it in a way that’s fun for his audience.
On that same note, Adam Savage is a Bard of Light.
Eh, Sollux did die a lot though? Like. Constantly. Dying and half dying left and right. Probably one of the characters that’s died the most all things considered.
You’re making a very false equivalency here though- A Seer of Light could just as easily lead someone astray through their knowledge of the situation, or lose themselves in their pursue for Knowledge. A big theme of Sollux and Doom is acceptance, but even considering just the meaning of the Aspect- Of course if you know Doom you’re going to try and prevent Doom, who wouldn’t? It’s more of an Aspect Divergence than a Class Divergence.
Pursuit of knowledge and cool factual stuff, but blowing shit up for funsies in the process.
No. Destruction doesn’t mean Aspect Inversion. Power-wise it may sometimes, but it doesn’t affect the focus of the character, and not even that much more than other opposite Classpects.
It’s just the order in which you go in. You have a choice in the order, however different meteors head towards the houses at different times, so ultimately there is a time constraint- Dave couldn’t have been the last one to Enter, for example, because he only barely managed to Enter before the Meteor Landed. In fact if it wasn’t for Bro snapping it in half, the Meteor would’ve hit Dave.
However in a place with no Time Constraint, say, with a Void Session, you could really enter at any point and in any order.
Mages and Seers are one of the hardest Classes to put into words because Knowing and Guiding is kind of naturally a passive action, so Actively Knowing is hard to put into words. That being said, there’s a few ways you can define it. For example, you can go with the idea that Seers are more about using their Knowledge to Tell, while Mages use their Knowledge to Show- Seers being more Theoretical, and Mages more Practical. You could also go with the Active/Passive divide- With Seers using their power to benefit others mainly, while Mages use their power to benefit themselves, mainly. This last one is a bit too vague a lot of the time though. So the usual divide is that they lean towards the two things Prophets are known to do- Seers for the Prophecies themselves, and Mages for the Miracles they perform. There’s nuance like with everything, they may do one or another, but the tendencies are kinda there.
Thank you! :D I worry I have become complacent because of it though, sometimes I may skim on some asks or not give as much nuance because I just assume I am nicely set with Classpect stuff on that post.
They’re actually kind of a combo! Davepeta specially, Knight/Rogue of Time/Heart, they have kind of some symbolism of all four Classpects. Starting with Stealing the individual Selves of Nepetaspirte and Davesprite to be created for Nepeta’s Classpect, they fought LE and somehow made it on time for the big fight which may parse as Knight of Time stuff. Part of the Ghost Army technically, which could parse as Knight of Heart? Literally attacking with their Soul as an Undertale Reference as the Knight of Heart, and the combo of Heart and Time as Determination. Rogue of Time, hard to say. Stole Dave’s prophecy of Strifing LE while Dave took on one of the LE Conduits? Stole some of Jasprose’s, ARquius’ and Jade’s time to give some closure to their characters? Rogue ties in well with Romancey stuff, of which Davepeta shows plenty. Their drive to Combat ties to the Time nature. They act as Jade’s familiar, showing their nature as a Knight… They really are a pretty significant mixture.
Jasprose, it’s harder to tell. She acts ‘Like Rose without a Filter’, but also has some other things in mind and deeper issues and is not a full Seer of Light. There’s some Voidiness to her because of Jasper- But Rose always had some Voidiness thanks to Mom. Without a clear picture of what Classpect Jaspers could even be, having not seen Jasprose too much, and given it’s playing off of Jaspers’ more animal-like tendencies added upon Rose, it’s not too easy to see what layer of Classpecting stuff is added atop her, if any at all.
Edit: Shit I just realized maybe you also meant the other Combos and not just the Squared ones.
Tavrisprite, we will never know because they were so incompatible they just blew up entirely. That being said, Thief of Breath, their very creation stole freedom and direction from them, so you could see something there.
Fefeta literally doesn’t even speak a word, but Rox does mention she helped her through the Session and was really nice to chat with. Nothing to Classpect here.
Erisol is kind of miserable all the time- Prince of Doom could show why he doesn’t blow up, destroying their own Doom, while his Hopes are destroyed because of how awful everything is too? Mage of Hope, Mage of Doom, hard to say, although he was kind of forced to watch and know the whole Trickster Debacle, so you could say from his perspective that was an awful Doom, and the sexual (ZILLION BABIES!) tone of it could also push the Hope angle? It’s not easy honestly.
ARquius though. Prince of Heart, Prince of Void, Heir of Void, Heir of Heart. There’s some stuff here, and specially knowing he later becomes part of LE, and pretty much is Doc Scratch’s base? Prince of Void could definitely tie in with Scratch’s Omniscience as he destroys the Dark Spots in his vision. Heir of Heart, Prince of Heart, could tie in well with him allowing Caliborn’s capture and the subsequent soul-merging into Lil Cal? Having his Soul Destroyed showing off to be a hero, having his Soul Changed and become part of a bigger whole. Heir of Void could also tie in with this, with Lil Cal then being sent into the Void, as well as with his sudden unexplained appearance eluding Caliborn to face him in the final battle, as well as the general tie between Horses and Void.
Yeah, same. Good god is it 16 Classpects from all of them? Bard, Prince, Lord, Heir, of Time, Rage, Void and Heart, yeah. Always with the possiblity that it’s not as much of a Bard or Rage because, half of Gamzee. Maybe he’s just partly a Ba of Ra. A Rd of Ge.
Now imagine Lord English wearing half a Codpiece.
Hard to say- While sort of the opposite you could argue Chastity or not being appealing enough is ALSO a part of Hope stuff too, so who knows.
Fish are all Finbeasts just as cats are all Meowbeasts, you can be more specific and say one is a Tabby or a Siamese, but they’re still cats, duh. Those are animals though so it’s likely still the same- Like, Highbloods still say long winded weird things for anatomical stuff, but things like furniture and high class things, those seem more normal.
Also Coffee. Coffee is also just coffee.
The Rites of Maturation seem to be when the Trolls join the Alternian Work Force. Up to a certain age Trolls seem to just have hobbies and interests, and play games like FLARP, but at 7 sweeps they actually start either doing their job, or start a mock-up training for their job for when they leave Alternia.
There’s no rule dictating anything like this.
They actually seem to be. It may be coincidence, but it may also tie with the concept of outlaw love or finding a small group of people a Robin Hood-esque type really cares about? Not sure where it comes from or if it’s just coincidence but, yeah, Nepeta, Roxy and Rufioh all have quite the focus on romantic issues of different kinds.
It could be, but Troll Society seems to push for a divide. Think about it like how Polyamory is IRL.
Not as far as we know? Probably the Session just ceases to exist after some time.
They could continue the game as a Sprite, as we’ve seen Sprites survive after the end, but I don’t know if they would count for… Actually yeah they do seem to count, given Jade went God Tier with Jadesprite as her Dreamself, so as long as that Sprite died on the Sacrificial Slab, yeah.
