yeah, i mean gamzee was on dirks planet when it fucking exploded so i dunno if his plot armor was still applicable at that point? probably but theres like 20 reasons for why he survived and 20 more for why he wouldn’t..? as for the trolls who didn’t god tier, it’s theoretically possible for roxy to use her void powers to get all the things they need to god tier but idk if they’d even want to go through with that (because i think it would involve creating dream selves??)
was he?? idk. whatever i honestly don’t care all that much if gamzee is alive
with the crypt quest beds u dont need a dream self, you just gotta die on it. tho you still have to die to god tier, that never stopped being a thing
