It’s still possible for it to be POST scratch though. Since there is a Space player (Calliope), then Echidna would have been there if the session went normally. However, I don’t think (and REALLY HOPE) that Hussie would go there.
Actually it couldn’t be a post-scratch session as the scratch only changes where the meteors with the players go. The Callie’s on the other hand were not created through ectobiology but biologically.
Not a HS fact, but I think it's worth noting that the 'injuries' of Harlequinsprite/Nanasprite mirror Vriska's, namely damage to the left eye & a fake left arm. Vriska is also the patron troll of John, the guy who 'injured' Harlequinsprite.

I’ve had this one submitted a few times and I don’t want to take it as a fact. If you headcannon it it’s fine, good for you. But just because Karkat calls her that once it doesn’t mean it’s true.
How did Meenah ghost come just recently to the dream bubbles unlike the rest of her gang?

Time shenanigans.
Would it be correct to say that successful sessions are Beta and unsuccessful sessions are Alpha? It seems the chronology of everything goes Alpha - Beta - Alpha - Beta, with the second beta creating the first Alpha in a loop.
A quick reminder that the pre-scratch trolls are indeed the alpha trolls and that the post-scratch trolls are indeed the beta trolls. People are often confused and believe it is the other way around, like how it is for the kids.
To all of you saying that Meenah’s group are the Beta trolls
Wait why did karkat have to do ectobiology? I thought the whole point of the scratch was that the order of the meteors that were sent back in time with the babies were switched.

If the Pre-scratch trolls didn’t initiate the scratch the meteors wouldn’t have even been sent out at all and they wouldn’t exist. So in order to close the paradox of their creation they had to scratch.
What are your hopes/expectations for Caliborns masterpiece?
The Beta trolls were introduced alongside the Beta kids.
The Alpha trolls were introduced alongside the Alpha kids.
Is the reason that Alpha sessions and Beta sessions are named those because of WHICH session did the ectobiology? Karkat, the post scratch, did ectobiology. His session was Beta. John, the pre scratch, did ectobiology. His session was Beta. Am I right on this, or has this been brought up before in canon?
Actually the Alpha and Beta sessions are named such after the version of the game played. John played the Sburb Beta thus Beta kids. Jane played the Sburb Alpha, thus Alpha kids. To the best of my knowledge Karkat’s group just played Sgrub, no alpha or beta about it.
