Haha, "pyrope lookin". I guess they all share the same surnames in this case? Maybe?
I thought that at first too, but it's probably just Terezi having the same name she might have had when she was an Ancestor during Meenah's time.
Looks like you're totally right after all. They DO share surnames!

He probably doesn't believe in ancestors because of what happened to his and what would've happened to him on Alternia if someone made the connection between him and the Sufferer (killed on sight). It's his special way of denial.

Yeah (though we don't know whether he actually has any idea about his not ancestor no such thing it's all fictional), but it's funny that he's still clinging to it after everything that's happened, and with ever greater fervor the more evidence challenges it.

All Sburb players are ontological paradoxes, so its pointless to ask who comes from who, or even why the hell they look like they do.

They all come from a single ectobiological session, so naturally one set is derived from the other. It's just fun to see who's a mixture of whom.

So the question would be, "Is Vriska a mix of Aranea, Meenah, and [Ancestor Z] or is Aranea a mix of Vriska, Kanaya, and Terezi or whatever?" Yeah, I'd be interested in that. I don't necessarily care enough to submit myself to Reddit to ask it, but it's interesting nonetheless.

You're confused because its confusing; the A/B thing and post-scratch kids being the "alpha" kids are two different things. Universe A is the troll universe, universe B is the kids universe. Each of those has a 1 (pre-scratch) and a 2 (post-scratch). So, John is from B1, Karkat is from A2, etc.

Meanwhile the B2 kids are sometimes called the "alpha kids" because in universe B2, Sburb is in alpha instead of beta.

Personally I think the Alpha/Beta designations are stupid and confusing, since a)we already used those to distinguish doomed timelines and b) alphas usually come first in game development, and storyways the B1 kids (or beta kids) came first instead. Just annoys me.

Also this reminds me of something I thought of a little while ago- the B1 kids played the beta version of sBurb, which was mostly feature-complete, except for a game-breaking bug that rendered it unwinnable. The B2 kids are playing the Alpha version, which is very bare-bones, lacking prototyping, enemies and consorts, the final bosses and is also unwinnable. I dunno, just something I thought of.

Ah, okay, that clears it up a bit. I've mostly seen people calling the B2 kids "alpha", so I wasn't sure what term I should be using. Thanks!

Isn't Karkat from A1? I thought the universe where the troll ancestors are the "kids" are after the scratch.

Nope. The universe where the ancestors are the players was the pre-scratch troll universe. There was that whole exposition piece about how their game was unwinnable because of a glitch, remember?

Meenah is not only great on her own, but makes Aranea an infinitely better character to listen to when she's around.

Also I'm still pretty sure Hussie said somewhere that the trolls are direct clones, but search me as to where or when.

Mopsy, I'm starting to question your medical credentials.

Gonna chime in that I imagine Karkat as whoever plays Dan on Dan Vs, because that's the only reason I ever watch that show. I pretend Dan is Karkat, John is Chris, Vriska is Elise*. I haven't checked yet to see if anyone has done edits to that effect but I'm going to guess probably. This has been my confession for the day.

Well, the Sufferer is just not really known about on modern Alternia, and Karkat especially doesn't have access to like the ~ancient lore~ and passed-down secrets that might inform him of him. It's very doubtful he even has the first clue about the Sufferer.

It seems more likely that he denies the existence of ancestors because they're an upper-class cultural thing that generally serves to glorify and privilege the upper classes yet more, and Karkat resents that upper-caste privilege hugely due to his own uniquely horrible blood situation. He's also just generally a sceptic!

I have never even heard of this show before, but I'm amused how well that works. That Dan person even has pointy troll teeth and a black troll t-shirt. It's too bad that clip has them mentioned each others' names so much. Would make making edits harder.
