I think I remember Dave saying that the Horrorterrors were screaming for help, or something like that. If it is like that, why? :? ( I think this was when he took off his glasses and spoke to rose, if it helps)

The horrorterrors are screaming for help because they are being massacred by Lord English.

Rose said that the Tumor could only exist in fully prototyped sessions where success is impossible without outside help, such as the B1 Session, or it could be a session-specific mutation, due to the Genesis Frog's tumor (p=004943)

Well with the horrorterrors, if Rose's book is to be believed they are the ruling class of the tentacle thingies in the furthest ring. The rest are just tentacle monsters.

Yes, but the Alpha kids are also not a part of a "normal" session, and my statement was that a "normal" session would absolutely have a tumor, though I admit that I think the anon who I am trying to refute is a little confused. The TUMOR in the kid's session is a game element present in all games. Karkat talks about giving their universe cancer by fucking up, which is a metaphor for the sequence of events leading to Bec Noir's creation, I think.

What exactly is grimdarkness and how does it work?

They are also the LIKELY creators of the troll universe, aka the 48 squiddle (trickster!horrorterror) session, and/or Gods from failed sessions banned to the void to scream in madness. GOD I LOVE THE HT's.

Actually, I'm pretty sure they mention that Jack is ALWAYS in sessions, as an usurper, and that the Tumor is also always there, as a sort of emergency option

The Alpha kids don’t have a tumor since it’s located at the center of a fully prototyped Skaia.

what are the horrorterrors? i never quite understood

They’re big giant squid monster thingies that live in outerspace. Lord English is there enemy. They can assist Derse players. But mostly, their role is to just be scary as shit.
Also Gl'bgolyb is a horrorterror albeit the smallest one.

Uhm, actually, pertaining to the earlier ask about a normal session? It would be more like the dancestor's session. (which they only failed at because they were bad players.) Jack wouldn't be there, and if he was, he wouldn't actually be a part of the plot like he was in the post-scratch troll's session or in the Beta kid's session! :) Also, in Karkat's session, the created universe wouldn't have a Tumor.

if i remember correctly, the goal of the game is for the players to ascend to god tier and live on as omnipotent beings in the universe they create. whether or not they accomplish this is based on certain other factors, like the idea of killing yourself to gain power or how well everyone cooperates with one another when playing the game
