Can I get a link to when the pre-scratch trolls are introdused? I can't find it and I have been looking for 2 weeks!

This is the first one. They were all introduced in Act 6 Intermission 3

I need some clarification. I thought that the alpha kids were made from the beta kids ghost slime, and vice versa. But I have heard other people say that the alpha kids where normal clones of the guardians.

The alpha kids are the normal paradox clones of Bro, Nanna, Mom, and Grandpa.

But Nepeta's still dead and in the same place she was before.

Yep, which means Equius is also most likely dead.  But we don’t know for sure quite yet  >; ]

Wait did the trolls have consorts? Just wondering.

vvvvvvyeah

Most likely.  They were never shown in canon but it was hinted at

Could it be that the terminals the exiles used to command the kids represent the things the kids destroyed in order to get into the session. WV used a bottle top terminal located around where Rose lived to cotrol John, the apple that grew where John lived was used to view Jade, Daves eggshell teminal was used to talk to Rose, but how did AR command Dave?

Right before she kisses him in an attempt to revive him, she removes her glasses. Before the password brings John here to make an alternate timeline as seen in the recent updates, Gamzee takes her glasses and uses them to send another message to Karkat, through her own account. This occurs in Karkat: Answer Terezi, and after Karkat has a small breakdown over Sollux, he messages Equius and asks him to go after Gamzee. This sparks Equius: Seek the highbl00d, during which Gamzee kills Equius and subsequently kills Nepeta.

Everything after that - right down to this shifting of events - stemmed from Gamzee stealing the glasses and causing a chain of deaths that only less than half of the trolls survived(and in Sollux’s case, not even long enough to do much more than fire the meteor towards the new universe).

Now, however, Terezi was interrupted by the witness.

She put her glasses back on - BEFORE Gamzee can steal them.

Now, when Karkat messages her while he’s with Sollux, she can answer him.

This changes a lot of things;

1. Gamzee won’t have Terezi’s glasses to scare Karkat, and even if he ordered Equius after Gamzee, he wouldn’t have the glasses on to momentarily trick Equius into thinking it’s Terezi(see first image)

2. Because he will not be ordered to fight Gamzee, Equius will still be with Nepeta by the horn pile. What will happen to them is unknown.

3. Terezi will have her glasses to respond to Karkat, and they will discuss, as Karkat puts it, “GETTING THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.” This will likely prevent the escape and/or death of Vriska.

In essence, it wasn’t necessarily the witness himself that changed the timeline; it was Terezi’s glasses. There are probably other things that this changed, but the big one is that in this edited timeline, Terezi(likely) stayed on the roof longer, Karkat didn’t utterly panic and send off Equius, and Gamzee never scared anyone with the glasses.

Could you give me a summary of the events that took place in the trolls pre-scratch session between Meenah and Damara? I vaguely remember it having something to do with Rufioh, but I can't recall much more. Thanks in advanced!

Meenah picked on Damara relentlessly, particularly over her former relationship with Rufioh.  Damara eventually snapped, beat the shit out of Rufioh, killed Meenah, and then basically used her time abilities to fuck with the team and sabotage them.

how did jade wind up with dog ears and a tail again?

Her sprite was prototyped with Bec and her dreamself.  After Jade died on her questbed she became her dreamself and retained the Bec traits such as the ears, tail, and affinity for snausages.

Where'd Terezi get the scarf?
