Is it true that it's implied that Porrim *ahem* pailed everyone except Cronus? I remember reading it somewhere but I don't know...

While it is stated that she has had many redroms, it was not specified as to whom all of them were.

Where in the comic is it hinted that there are other classes and aspects?

The introduction of the Muse and Lord class hinted that there may be other classes that are situational much like them.

So it's stated that jade had (a)sister(s). Do you think that grimbark!Jade saved the earth before it was destroyed because a little part of her wanted to save her/them

I have never heard of Jade having a sister, if you can find me a source for where you got this information I can look into it and answer your question.

Does it say anywhere in the comic/other official sources whether there are other classes and aspects possible besides the ones show in the comic?

It’s heavily implied that there are others. None are ever shown or discussed though.

So I was reading an AU story about the trolls if they'd never played Sgrub and it mentions Nepeta's job which involves being under fire (big surprise, it's Alternia), and I realized that I have no idea what she wanted to be when she grew up. Neither her wiki page or her first few intro pages say it. Does anyone actually know/was it ever said in canon?

I don’t think she wanted to be anything.  She probably just wanted to continue her days hunting and rping, living in her cave.

What if the reason the Beta trolls are so fucked up (Kanaya's weird fondness for fashion, Equius' abnormal strongness, Gamze's Gamzee-ness, etc) was a result of Karkat giving everyone cancer while doing the ectobiological thingy?

I doubt it.  Their dancestors share those specific traits.  If you haven’t noticed, post-scratch troll society was kinda fucked up. Aradia was a ghost, Terezi was blind, Tavros couldn’t walk, Vriska lost an arm and an eye, Sollux went blind. Those weren’t caused by ectobiology. The trolls were just in-general fucked uo

Oh, okay! Oh, and I found the source for Vriska calling Aranea 'Alpha sister': w w w . m s p a i n t a d v e n t u r e s . c o m /?s=6&p=007908 Along with a brief explanation from Callie! 'UU: from alpha to beta, then beta to alpha, as if a moUntain to be scaled and then climbed back down.' It seems to suggest that it goes Alpha players ==> Beta players ==> Beta players ==> Alpha players. w w w . m s p a i n t a d v e n t u r e s . c o m /?s=6&p=007516

Posting it, thanks anon.

Actually, um, if I may... Meenah is quoted as having said that she and her friends were the 'Alpha's somewhere... I'll find it, please give me a few minutes. It's in one of the games. Also, Vriska called Aranea her Alpha sister, I believe. I'll find the page for that, too...

It’s alright, another tumblr user shared that it was at the beginning of A6I3.  I remember that Meenah did call her group the Alpha trolls at one point.

I'm sorry to ask for such a hefty answer but the condescence has always been a great mystery to me, could you find the time to explain her?

I’m not sure what you want me to explain exactly. So as an over view of her character:  She was supreme ruler of the trolls, then they p. much went extinct, she was enslaved by Lord English, and now she simultaneously works for and against him. She took over Post-Scratch Earth and became the Queen of Derse in that universe.  She is also working on rebreeding trolls into existence.

the beta trolls are the pre-scratch ones; they came first

Actually no. 

The Beta Trolls are the post-scratch trolls.

They are called the Beta Trolls because they interacted with the Beta Kids.

The Beta kids are called the beta kids because they played the Sburb Beta

The Alpha kids are called the alpha kids because they played the Sburb Alpha

There was no alpha or beta Sgrub, there was simply Sgrub.

And since the Pre-scratch trolls were dead during the Alpha Kids’ time and could not interact

There really aren’t any Alpha Trolls

Unless you count the ones in the Alpha timeline which would be Karkat, Terezi, Gamzee, Kanaya, Aradia, and Sollux, but that would make them both Alpha and Beta trolls

So in my opinion, I suggest everyone abandon the terms alpha and beta altogether unless talking about the Alpha timeline and simply use pre or post scratch to direct attention to whichever group they are speaking about.  It is simply the least confusing way.
