So there was foreshadowing that Gamzee was in lil Cal but was it about Arquiussprite being there too? was lil Cal always a dear friend to Dirk because a part of him was in there? what do you think?

Arquius had been hinted at by Doc Scratch. Doc Scratch was made from Lil Cal (so part of arquius). The Doc and Lil Hal speak very similarly and are both hyperintelligent. Also on page 005527 (sorry I’m on mobile and can’t link) Doc Scratch tells Rose to think of him as her human uncle and he participates in Equius’s signature “yes, no, yes, no” thing.

There is a more drawn out theory written by Bladekindeyewear a few years ago on the same topic that I would highly recommend checking out.

As for Dirk, he arrived with Cal, they’ve literally always been together. That was the only relationship he had until he met the other kids. You’d come to value a puppet as a friend too if that was the only type of interaction you had for years.

Today is the two year anniversary of me becoming a mod of this blog so to celebrate I drew all the post-scratch trolls in mspaint without any references and not allowing myself to erase or undo anything or spend more than half a minute on each one.  enjoy.

Are the planets assigned to each troll pre-decided by the game and their aspect or is it solely based on personality and traits?

Anonymous

Planets are assigned for classpect and personality since they are supposed to challenge the player and help them grow into their mythological role.

are we chill to ask big multi-part questions pertaining to the mechanics of SBURB/SGRUB but not necessarily a specific plotpoint the comic itself? (like say if we're planning out a fansession or a fantroll's happenings within SGRUB)

I would recommend reading the wiki page on Sburg first.  If you still have questions afterwords you can ask and I can try to help.

I'm pretty sure the anon who asked about Aradia going god-tier even though she was already dead meant how did her dream self get to the slab in the first place. Unlike the other players who's Sacrificial Slab's were on their planets, hers was located on Derse, so when Jack destroyed it it caused her to die while on the slab, thus ascending her to god-tier

Quest Beds/Cocoons are located on the player’s planets.  Sacrificial Slabs are usually located in the center of Derse and Prospit’s moons.

Aradia’s was an exception and hers was in the center of Derse and her dreamself was placed on it since she died before the game started.

Is there really any declarative proof that the humans created the cherubs? It seems more like speculation, but a speculation I would support nonetheless.

Go back to the pesterlog Aranea had with Meenah right after she came back to life.  Aranea gives the reasoning for coming back as  “ ARANEA: If I can stop this universe from 8eing cre8ted, then the young Lord of Time will never have hatched in the first place.”

As well as Earth and the Trolls’ Meteor being in the cherub universe, we can assume that the children’s session creates the cherub universe.

I have seen the terms "waste/gent of piss" fly about a few times, are they just very popular crack classpects or do they appear in canon somewhere?

Gent is canon.  Hussie’s said on his formspring that Fedorafreak had ascended and was the Gent of Piss. 

Waste is fanon. It came about because Hussie wore a space shirt in canon and people assigned that class to him.

In the upd8 where vriska and meenah are hanging out together are they in the dark carnival? and does that mean there is a chance the GHB and other ancestors might make an appearance since dream bubbles are memories and Gamzee hasn't seen the dark carnival and isn't dead and I don't think beforus had a dark carnival for Kurloz to remember...

Gamzee’s planet was the Land of Tents and Mirth and it’s been indicated the the dancestors’ planets were similar so I assume that they were in one of the Beforan trolls’ memory, possibly even Meenah’s.

I'm sorta new to the hs fandom and I was wondering if 6/12 is celebrated the same way 4/13 is?

Anonymous

Not really.  There might be some stuff since it’s also Karkat’s wrigglingday but nothing near the magnitude of 4/13.

but if Aradia's real-self was dead, how could her dream-self ascend to godteir?

Using her Sacrificial Slab.
