When John was killed by Jack, why did he come back to life

Anonymous

John didn’t even have a chance to move before Jack killed him so the death was neither Heroic nor Just.

Do you have any theories about the fate of Vriska/LE/The Army?

I believe that they all died or are stuck in some type of pocket-dimension or whatever inside the Black Hole, but there are definitely other theories out there.

How exactly did Jade's grandpa retrieve her dreamself? Is it something unique to him/them or could anyone do it in theory? Would it be possible for trolls?

There are teleporters to Derse and Prospit within the Frog Temple, and since he was living on the island that hosted the Temple he could do to and from the medium as he pleased. So anyone could do it with access to the Temple.

Has anyone died a Heroic death?

Jake, Dave and Rose did in GAME OVER and Post-Retcon Roxy did when she saved Rose.  Possibly Post-retcon John as well but no judgement was ever shown.

Hiveswap reminded me how little I understand about the beta parents. Was Pa a comedian like his father for awhile? Did he do anything during the beta gameplay?

He was not a comedian, Poppop was but Grandpa wasn’t. Grandpa was an Adventurer and Big Business Man. During the Beta’s game he brought Mom and Dad to the Battlefield and retrieved Jade’s dead dreamself.

Can you explain dirks splinters?? Like I never quite got what he was referring to, if possible please explain in detail

Dirk’s main self and dreamself can both be awake at the same time.

Lil Hal is a copy of Dirk’s mental self at age 13

Brobot and to a lesser extent, Lil Seb are robot versions of Dirk.

Brain Ghost Dirk is a version of Dirk conjured by Jake’s Hope powers.

So that’s 5 or 6 different individuals, all with a little piece of Dirk that can all be doing stuff at the same time. No other living person (aside from temporarily Time players) have that many versions of themselves running at once.

How are Nanna and grandpa (beta Jane and jake) way older than bro or mom lalonde? (This also goes for alpha Jade/john)

Because they landed in the 1910s while Bro and Mom landed in the 60s/70s-ish

So how does death for God Tiers work? I remember reading early on that, according to Karkat, someone thats god tiered can only die a heroic death, yet we have tons of Just deaths?? And a bunch of deaths that were cancelled (like with john when he and grim!rose were fighting jack). The subject just confuses me, since there's so many conflicting points.

A God Tiered Player can only die a Heroic or Just death. Heroic meaning that they died while protecting someone/something or while doing something generally heroic.  A Just death is when a player dies while they are corrupted or working against the goal of Sburb.

Could you explain Lil' Cal's timeline to me? I can't wrap my head around it.

Here’s a post that I wrote on it in the past.

And here’s graphic someone made explaining it

If you’re still confused feel free to ask again :3
