Thing I noticed: the kids mostly did great as adults in the alphaverse, and the alphas did mostly terrible as adults in the betaverse. Meanwhile the alpha trolls (well they were terrible but successful) on alternia as adults. Following that pattern, would the beta trolls have been unsuccessful as adults on beforus?

The only Beforus Ancestor we know of is Feferi and, let me tell you, she’s not exactly the most functional Empress. Beforus is much nicer than Alternia, but with the excessive coddling nature of her meaning for ‘Culling’ she forces Highbloods to be caretakers, and takes away the agency from the Lowbloods that don’t want to be coddled, so she’s not exactly a successful Empress…
