Sollux is not the only genius

“cold-and-blue-blooded replied to your post “look i am telling you, the…”

There are plenty of other sessions. That is canon.

This is incorrect, dude. Feel free to pull up the “canon” you’re referring to, because nobody else on Alternia plays Sburb before the planet’s life ends.

There are other sessions out there in Paradox Space, but not every planet spawns the same amount of sessions. Earth had a ton of them because Grandpa distributed Sburb as a worldwide game event.

That is not the case on Alternia. It’s not that Sollux is the only genius on the planet, but that he’s the only one with access to the game code. Aradia finds the game code in her Frog Temple, and spends almost all her time at said frog temple before the game begins. 

The only other temple is Kanaya’s, who similarly lives right with hers, and neither perspectives show us wily other trolls sneaking into frog temples to design a video game.

The difference between Sollux and Grandpa is literally pointed out in the story. 
Barring new information surfacing in Hiveswap, we have no reason to think anyone else on the planet plays Sburb at all.

And even if they did, that wouldn’t change the fact that the Alpha Trolls’ scratch was meant to create a world (Alternia) that would make the next crop of players strong enough to win (the beta trolls.) So it kind of changes nothing about what their place in the planet’s historical context is. 

Not to mention it literally says on the extended zodiac test that if you have a “true zodiac sign”, your affiliation with the respective blood caste is “even stronger than you thought.”

Does this not imply that the trolls who possess these signs are, y’know, special? Does this not imply that the trolls who possess these signs embody the traits of their blood caste?

This says to me that, for example, those of the rust blooded caste have more ties with Derse and Time than any of the other aspects or Prospit. Because, according to this description, if you are a Rust blood, a Time player, and a Derse dreamer, your affiliation with the Rust-blooded class is “even stronger than you thought.” Right?

oh SHIT. I had no idea that line was a thing!

I’m gonna have to run this by my more skeptical friends but yeah that definitely sounds like a confirmation that the True Signs and the Sign Classes are linked to me. it doesnt stop from keep happening. Thanks!!
