Is what's happening in his right now the worst possibility that can happen in a game session

Anonymous

It’s pretty bad but I don’t think I’d say it’s the worst.  After all, at least not everyone is dead.

So does this mean gamzee went insane cause a part of his soul (an insane part) has been cycling around the alpha timeline becoming part of Gamzee when he finds call and being physically removed and sucked back into lil cal?

When Gamzee looked into Cal’s eyes the piece of his soul in there probably told him everything he had to do for English to rise and that he was part his two mirthful messiahs. Which lead him to do everything he did and eventually end up right back there in Cal.

so what are the current paths of the two Cals? Gamzee summoned them to torment Dave -> Rose flings him out the window -> Bro brings him to the ectobiology lab along with his rocketboard -> Baby dirk teleports away with him -> Dirk's one eventually becomes LE when filled as a juju and it becomes banished, but what's happened to Dave's one after it got in the green suit? Is it with Spades Slick and Ms Paint?

Dave’s ended up with Gamzee who used it to turn B2 Jack into Jack English. That Cal is pretty much done now.

I’m going to update my lil cal timeline and I’ll probably reblog it later today or tomorrow

I'm confused on how sacrificial slabs work (That's why I asked about Aradia) could you please explain?

Quest Beds require you to have two lives alive to use it. The Sacrificial Slab only needs one, in every other way it’s exactly the same as a Quest Bed.

Ok so since Equius and ar sprite got sucked into cal and I guess became one soul ? Was that alpha Equius' soul? Because that means he is a part of lord english too??

Yes, most likely.

How exactly was Doc Scratch created, and what makes him tied so close to Lord English's legacy with the recent upd8?

Doc Scratch was ectobiologically created using Lil Cal and Vriska’s cueball. Lil Cal is LE’s entrance ticket to new universes since LE is located inside him.
So for a Betty Crocker metaphor. Essentially, Lil Cal is a pack of gushers, Doc Scratch is the actual gusher, and LE is the delicious juices inside that once released assault your taste buds with its sweat artificial wrath.

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?

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.
