dave, rose, and the alpha kids all died in their crypts, though. same with aradia. i think if you die on your planet's quest bed you get teleported to skaia as god tier. that's what happened to john. the only difference was that his dream self was already ON skaia (due to prospit's moon being severed and crashing into it). his ascension was kind of a big deal because of that; literally everyone else could see it happening from their respective planets
yeah that makes sense!! same with jade, her dream self was on skaia at the time too in the form of jadesprite, so
