What were the totems used in the alpha kids sessions to bring them into the medium? I was talking about it with my friend and we know the ones for the beta session (John is apple, Rose is bottle, Dave is egg, and Jade is tree) but we can't remember any of them for the alpha kids. I also think that there's some sort of meaning in them (like why each person got that specific thing as their totem) but I'm not sure what.

Dunno if this one has been answered, but did we ever find out what Aranea was doing with all those mind-controlled Damaras?

She used them to move the ship to Derse and to move the planets in [S] Gameover.

Has it ever been said or hinted at that the non-player scratch selves (Signless, Dave's Bro, Roxy's Mom, ect) are in the dream bubbles or have different bubbles, especially since some like the Condesce and Nanna have extremely important roles in the alternate sessions anyway?

It hasn’t been seen or mentioned at all in canon so a guardianbubble probably doesn’t exist.

How did Glyobolb (no idea how to spell that) manage to release the Vast Glub if Feferi had prototyped her and entered LODAG?

Gl'bgolyb released the Vast Glub, then died and fell into Feferi’s kernelsprite right before she entered.

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.

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.

Wasn't it stated that the Alternian sun is too hot for normal trolls to be in direct contact with? So the trolls are nocturnal except for Kanaya's caste?

Yes to both.
