* AlternateTimeline: The events of this game creates one for the three different groups who originally played play Sburb/Sgrub together--the Beta kids, the trolls, and the Alpha kids--in which their games get lost or stop working and they never play at all. As a result, their respective planets do not get destroyed in an apocalypse, and their lives continue normally.
** This actually ends up working out for the better for most of the parties involved; many of them had personal problems and/or interpersonal issues that they never got the chance to work through in a healthy way (or, in some cases, even became exacerbated) thanks to the events of ''Homestuck'', [[spoiler:but in this new timeline that the Reader creates and then preserves by becoming a First Guardian, they'll have the chance to live much less traumatic lives where they can improve themselves more organically]].
** It gets even trippier when you realize that there must be ''three'' of these going on at once; it's not possible for the Beta Kids, Alpha Kids, and trolls to all exist in the same timeline where none of them play the game, since the trolls playing Sgrub is what created the Beta Kids' universe in the first place, and likewise, the Beta Kids scratching their Sburb session created the Alpha Kids' universe. Thus, the timelines are:
*** 1) The trolls' alternate timeline where they don't play Sgrub,
*** 2) The Beta Kids' alt timeline where the trolls did play and beat the game, created the new universe, and were messaging the kids like at the start of the original ''Homestuck'', but stop doing so once the kids don't play Sburb,
*** 3) The Alpha Kids' alt timeline where the trolls and Beta Kids did play (with the latter group scratching their session), but this group doesn't.
** Interestingly, while the Reader gets a weird physical feeling from zapping between the separate Beta and Alpha universes and their respective friends there, which is how they conclude they're traveling through universes rather than time, they don't get this same feeling when zapping between Beta Earth and Alternia, even though these two locations are likewise also from different universes.
** Ultimately, despite what players may be expecting, the Reader keeps any of these three timelines from becoming doomed [[spoiler:once they become a First Guardian, using their abilities to lock these three timelines (which are now somewhat intertwined after several of the trolls and Beta Kids have met each other) outside of canon, so any "canon" events that happen the main timeline will not affect them]].

** After Dave and Karkat meet in Karkat's good ending, dialogue from some of the other trolls in later routes indicates that Karkat talks about Dave all the time.

He also describes him as having a "great tongue", before [[VerbalBackspace quickly backtracking]] [[ThatCameOutWrong to clarify]] that he was talking about Karkat's shoutiness.
** Dave and Jade get some too. In one of Dave's bad routes, when he's frantically trying to deny the idea that he might have feelings for John (which is also some John/Dave tease, for that matter), he states that, "hypothetically", if he had a crush on anyone, it would be another one of his friends, but "you don't know her, she lives really far away", clearly meaning Jade. In her route, she mentions that Dave is the friend that talks the most about coming to visit her and seems the most serious about it, and when she kisses each of her friends on the cheek after meeting them in person for the first time, Dave "goes nearly catatonic". Nepeta's route also shows Dave and Jade hanging together at her house, just the two of them.
** In Vriska's and Terezi's routes, each of them has a major heart-to-heart with the Reader about how much she misses the other despite everything that happened between them.

** Sollux's route establishes that, in this non-Sgrub timeline, Kanaya introduced him to Feferi, who has apparently been talking about conversations that they've been having. He describes Feferi as "not as boring as I thought she'd be" (which, coming from him, is pretty good praise), and describes whatever's happening between them as "it's going", prompting the Reader to muse to themself that, despite initially seeming like a bit of a loser, Sollux actually has quite a bit of "game".
** PlayedForLaughs in Tavros's good ending; he somehow mistakes the occasional icy looks that Kanaya gives him when he insults Vriska as amorous glances, and mistakenly assumes that she has a crush on him (a CallBack to how, in ''Homestuck'' proper, Vriska mistakenly believed that Tavros was Kanaya's crush instead of herself). The Reader, who knows that this is highly untrue, quickly sets him straight while letting him down easy, assuring him that she's not his type.
