* i've been having a real bad fatigue spell lately so i'm rewatching troll beverly hillbillies until it stops. *

[celestialtrolls]

Thinking about aelynn

She's been working with ivorst for a while now but she has no expenses apart from whenever she wants to buy new sewing supplies and equipment

Added to the fact that her ghoul self is building a reputation in the neighbourhood (spoke about this before will elaborate in tags for anyone who hasn't seen me talk about this) she kind of wants to build up a reputation for her actual appearance just so in case someone ever sees and remembers her ghoul self well enough to connect aelynn to being a. Undead cannibal creature. They'll be like oh. Well. We all have our flaws*

*this is how it works in aelynns head and is not representative of reality

So I think she's gonna take the income she gets from working and like. Do you think food banks exist on alternia? Or maybe she just like goes into restaurants and like does the thing where you're like hey. I'll pay in advance for you to give meals to people that can't afford them.

Idk she would kind of want to give food out herself but she thinks lowbloods probably wouldn't trust food from a purpleblood

[windy-trickster]

Today is mine and @h00mb00 's 3rd anniversary! Three whole years with my beloved little birdy and it's been the happiest I've ever been. We decided to do this cute little anniversary day collab with our longest had fantrolls! Basically our first ever fantroll ship we ever made! Salsia Seskal [Burgundy] - @h00mb00 Ptoemy Lexler [Violet] - @windy-trickster Kenku did the sketch/lineart while I colored and shaded it! Again, another fun little collab with my dear boyfriend and future husband. I wouldn't be this happy if I had anyone else as my beloved. I hope for many more happy years with him <3

[hsoppositezodiac]

Polypa Goezee

Lowblood, highblood, it still doesn't matter. Everybody suck. She's a ninja who helps rustblood Tegiri Kalbur evade getting himself culled, and easily gets original products for him due to her status. She has pale feelings for him, but never expresses them. She enjoys collecting card games.

Konyyl Okimaw

A woman true to her status. Aggressive, culls mercilessly using her shark gloves, and always gathers precious jewelry after her hunts, except she gives them as gifts to her matesprit. She is faithful to an ancient violetblood woman who marked Alternian history.

Charun Krojib

Sea worms enjoyer. They're like an opposite Dualscar. Instead of orphaning, they re-home lusii. They create art using things they find underwater.

Boldir Lamati

In the public view, she may seem like every other seadweller. Snob, ostentatious, casteist. But in reality, she's secretly leading a group of trolls of much lower castes who have a conspiracy against the Empire and plan to overthrow the fuchsias. Like a troll mafia.

[dingodad]

Do you think there was "caste specific neighborhoods" in alternia/beforus? idk I just feel like the kind of thing they would do (maybe not state mandated on beforus case), I'm already pretty sure no lowblood would settle near the coast not only bc of hostile highbloods/seadwellers but also the eldritch monster at the bottom of the ocean that can kill them with one psychic tantrum

neighbourhoods on alternia don't seem to be strictly divided up by caste so much as they're divided up by purpose, like you would expect them to be on earth. there are dense suburbs and high rise stem colonies with the purpose of housing the large populations of the lower castes, and then wider expanses of land where highbloods can set up their mcmansions a la vriska and equius. proximity to the sea, where antagonistic sea dwellers make their home, certainly plays a role in this.

iirc friendsim talked a lot about highblood zones or blue blood districts or what have you but i never really saw this as a realistic depiction of what an alternian metropolis would be like. this makes sense for a game where every caste is represented just about equally, but you gotta remember not only that the castes are actually staggered in population size but also that troll kids just choose wherever the fuck they want to set up their houses when they're still practically babies. so while it makes sense that neighbourhoods dominated by a particular class or culture would exist, i don't see it as being practical for the inner cities to be stratified in such a strict way, and i don't think any authority really exists on kid-alternia to enforce it. to my mind an alternian city's population is basically going to reflect the population of trolls at large: for every few hundred lowbloods, a few greenbloods; for every few hundred greenbloods, a couple bluebloods; and so on. but that's just me

50 First Dates by Xagave

Eridan falls back into your life the same way he left it: abrupt and without warning. It hurts because you love him, and maybe that will never change. no archive warnings, E

Torrential Overflow by FindingZ

the wworst by 2x2verse (agent_florida)

“Oh my god,” you say out loud. “We are the two most insecure assholes on this side of the fucking planet.” “The planetary system,” Eridan wails good-naturedly. “The entire goddamn galaxy,” you trump him. “We are the best at being the worst.” -- They both hate their bodies, and they've been hurt so much over them. And each of them barely dares to whisper it, lest the other one leave them alone to deal with it. no archive warnings, E (past noncon implied)

As Fast as you Can by BlueMoonHound

Cosmetic mutations. In a highblood, it's hardly a concern to the empire. Especially one so close to the color of the Condesce herself. In the past, however, that hasn't stopped her from culling them. They do carry on genetically into descendants, and mess with Her plans. To have that in the slurry? It could end up in lowbloods, who would be culled on sight, midbloods, who would be shunned, or – gog forbid – the Tyrian line itself. You're only important because you're an orphaner and no one else can hold that job. no archive warnings, T

Choices by Spacefille

Eridan finds out Karkat’s blood color. Karkat lashes out in self-defense, which lands the mutant in the brig of Eridan’s hive. Now Eridan has a dilemma on his hands, does he cull him or risk letting him go? rated with graphic depictions of violence but it should also be rated with noncon, E

What do you Want? by Rubaiyate

A fill for a request on homesmut: [paraphrased] "The imperial drones come for Karkat, his blood color having been exposed to the empire somehow. Of all the trolls to come to his rescue, it’s Eridan. Eridan goes toe-to-toe with a drone to make them back off, but Karkat doesn’t know this and, having never met Eridan face-to-face, is confronted with the terrifying view of a pissed off seadweller bursting into his hive and forcefully escorting him to his own hive. Thing is, Karkat has absolutely no idea who he is, why he has been taken to somebody else’s hive, and Eridan doesn’t realize that Karkat is freaking the fuck out." (The "Rape/Non-Con" warning is more of a precaution. There is no actual rape, but it is a close thing, so I figured it would be better to err on the side of caution.) noncon, M

Dirty Deeds by Miko

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and nobody is more desperate than a troll facing the Imperial Drone at collection time.

The Power the Dark Lord Knows Not by TrashfireRadiowaves

You would say that you don’t know why you’re here, but you’d be lying. You know exactly why you’re here. You know exactly why you’re here, and the stupid fucking reason is that stupid fucking Eridan Ampora has gotten himself into some stupid fucking shit yet again. no archive warnings, T

Pale As the Creatures of the Deep by TrashfireRadiowaves

He's a highblood, and highbloods are prone to highblood rages. You can see it in the way his hands tremble, long fingers clenching in fury when he gets cornered, taunted by one troll or another; you can see him take his anger and lock it away, watch him drop into a state of false calm, and you worry more with every day that passes. You aren't sure how long he can keep himself under control, and you don't think any of you will come back to life if you die again. You don't want anyone to die, and you don't want him to be forced into a position that causes him to hurt someone. You don't want anyone to die, but everyone on this fucking asteroid seems hell bent on making it happen. no archive warnings, T

Step up to the fish tank and take home a friend!

I made these adoptable fishtrolls based on aquarium fish! Are they seadwellers with fancy coloration? Lowbloods with seadweller mutations? Some kind of fancy pet breed? Who knows! You decide!

They’re 25$ apiece except for the clownfish, who’s $65 and comes with some extra premade art and variations.

For an extra $35 I’ll make an illustration like that for any of the fish. Once I get watermarks on them Ill show off the solo images of all the fish so you can appreciate the details.

Locations Masterpost

a brief list of all the locations on Alternia relevant to my trolls and who inhabits them. any lore documents i have written up for the larger locations will also be linked below

this post will be updated periodically whenever new locations are made, or trolls are added / removed from them

feel free to reference these locations in your own worldbuilding, however please ask me first if you would like your trolls to also live in these locations (especially any of the towns and cities listed below). my rp settings are semi-open unless otherwise stated

note: im only including my own locations, not rp settings that belong to my friends that my trolls may also visit or be involved with. also, any one-off locations referenced in D2S have not been listed unless they end up becoming more fleshed out

Almadusk Woods - A dark forested area that is believed to be haunted, thanks to all the plantlife having a penchant for growing to resemble the screaming souls of the damned. Home to Nightfall Manor, an old gothic mansion which once belonged to infamous serial killer The Countess Antumbra. ↳ Known residents: Glasya Elliss, The Countess Antumbra (former)

Arctic North - A polar region up in the northernmost point of Alternia. It snows sweep-round, with large swathes of area being covered in ice sheets and permafrost. Further inland is more forested, and pockets of villages are spread out amongst the region. Larger villages are responsible for delivering goods to the smaller, more remote villages, although frequent blizzards can affect the supply chain. ↳ Known residents: Davitt Cesare (former), Leutia Izotze, Sigrun Apteno

Arctic North, Northern Lights Village - A small community within Alternia's Arctic North region. Only a few log cabins have been built here due to its isolated location, however the residents who live here are all very close. The next closest village is an approximate half hour journey via snowmobile. ↳ Known residents: Redeti Miraze, Fannar Bajorn

Ashwood Bushland - A large eucalyptus forest. The climate is quite arid and sees little to no rainfall in the warmer seasons, making the possibility of bushfires a serious risk. Few trolls live within this forest for that reason, however it is home to many unusual species of flora and fauna native to its highly unique ecosystem. ↳ Known residents: Kalpan Sewick

Bayside Keyes - An exclusively-seadwelling neighbourhood along the coastline. Mega mansions line the streets of this small gated community, each with their own section of private beach. While quieter and less territorial than other seadweller communities, its residents are hostile towards their own neighbours and keep to themselves. The climate may be warm, but the attitudes are ice cold. ↳ Known residents: Nemone Moryan (former), Veruco Miopah (former), Linnae Ishimi (former)

Block 136 - One of Alternia's major cities. A cultural melting pot of which trolls of all castes call their home, however social segregation is still rampant thanks to unofficial caste-based residential districts. Frequent gang activity is kept in check by the Legislacerators' powerful security system known colloquially as The Eyes of God. Loosely based on Melbourne, Australia. ↳ Lore document: Here (Note: this doc is extremely outdated, and I don't know when I'll get around to rewriting it) ↳ Known residents: Liiore Dariya, Raesul Mercur, Maagni Halvor, Leithe Arbied, Torada Gerrat (former), Fisher Cavius, Ashell Bathre, Renais Sulawe (former), Davitt Cesare, Velour, Fannar Bajorn (former), Mikiel Giacho, Nerrev Colume (presumed), Aiolos Hummel, Perria Vanche, Shirei Amynta & the OVERSEER gang, The Overseer (former), Lanthi Berrit, Arenai Karasu (former), Sobeit Quirem (former), Linnae Ishimi

Block 136, Lowblood District - An area in Block 136's south and southeastern sides of the city where many lowbloods have decided to build their hives. Both hivestem apartments and smaller townhouse-style hives have been constructed in this area, although they are of notably lower quality that the hivestem blocks closer to the city's centre. High crime rate. ↳ Known residents: Katrin Rissah, Nancor Pharom, Dismas Teufel, Aislin Cudovi, Quidel Benrii, Aegiel Lachan, Soroll Delfim, Daimon Sverre

The Deepwoods - A lush forest with thick canopies of thousand-sweep old trees. A light fog covers the majority of the forest, which seems to grow thicker until it becomes too difficult to breathe in within certain areas of the region. Hikers have reported experiencing hallucinations due to severe oxygen deprivation, as well as sightings of a mysterious monster known as The Deepwoods Demon. ↳ Known residents: Skathi Reckam (former), Kisert Azeban, Errett Sachin

Evergreen Woods - A forested area of reasonable size. The platonic ideal of a forest, with large evergreen trees and a temperate climate, and absolutely no notable features. Some trolls who live in this region have opted to construct their hives amongst the treetops. ↳ Known residents: Eichio Maccau, Callan Ranpoe, Amarys Viridi (former)

Grünesmeer Rainforest - A swamp-like rainforest with a slightly humid climate. Oils secreted from the trees give the bodies of water within the forest a distinct bright green hue, which is how the region got its name. Few trolls live in this area, and there's been multiple incidents of unexplained disappearances and drownings. ↳ Known residents: Vivyin Kafkah

Northwestern Highlands - A mountainous region in Alternia's northwest, characterised by its long green rolling plains and cliffs that end abruptly at the coastline. The number of hives in the area are sparse, but those who make the highlands their home witness spectacular views of both the ocean and the countryside. Based on both the Scottish and Irish Highlands. ↳ Known residents: Charon Acerbi, Somerl Alfero

Northwestern Midlands - A region in Alternia's northwest, less mountainous than the highlands and characterised by its many lakes and moorlands. The midlands is home to many castle ruins, and tends to be a popular location for hikers, history enthusiasts, and fans of romantic literature alike. Based on the Lakes District in England. ↳ Known residents: Ariete Qurioe

Pescaruzzia - A region out in Alternia's countryside, known for its large green fields and warm Mediterranean climate. It is home to many vineyards and orchards, as the weather and soil quality is perfect for agricultural endeavours. It is not uncommon for residents of this region to sell their wares at farmers markers, or export them in bulk to nearby towns. Based on the Abruzzo region, South Italy. ↳ Known residents: Zotick Aureio, Astera Ringoh, Rosato Sekaan

Phosphor Forest - A phosphorous mine that was abandoned thousands of sweeps ago and has been long since reclaimed by nature, growing into a lush forest. The traces of phosphorous in the soil have caused the plants and wildlife to develop bioluminescence, at the cost of the air being mildly toxic to those who have not grown accustomed to it. ↳ Known residents: Ananta Cahaya

Revoire City - Officially designated as Block 50. A glitzy coastal city that is a highly popular tourist location for rich socialites and celebrities alike. It is known for the famous Revoire Casino, the largest casino in Alternia, as well as the historic Revoire City Grand Prix. Those with permanent residence in Revoire are almost exclusively highbloods, and live within gated hivestem communities. Based on Monaco. ↳ Known residents: Ropikk Alaysi, Tiraol Rikelo, Sharle Casini, Zraike Farina

Sommerset Beach - A stretch of coastline and surrounding islands that are famous for its pink-tinted sand and beautiful coral reef. The seadwellers who live within this region are highly territorial and squabble over ownership of their private beaches and portions of the ocean. Because of this, regular tourism is essentially impossible. ↳ Known residents: Loreli Varuna, Belamy Alchys

Vernrot Harbour - Officially designated as Block 870. A small fishing village plagued by eternal rainfall due to the existence of Those Who Slumber In The Deep. The majority of its residents are unaware that it is a hotspot for both eldritch and supernatural activity. However, the town experiences very little interference from the Empire due to the horrorterrors protecting it. Based on English fishing villages such as Robin Hood's Bay in Yorkshire, with additional architectural inspirations from Edinburgh, Scotland. ↳ Lore document: Here ↳ Known residents: Phionn Baliso, Ashell Bathre (former), Chryso Haanda, Celise Shoket, The Abysseer (former), Lusien Avalon, Leyjar Avalon (former), The Luminous (former), Lernie Laguno, Vallis Reyleh

[kill0mtr]

i have way too many troll oc ideas that if i make a blog for each and every one ill abandon (aka lose interest because i thought of a more exciting oc. and then THAT oc will get abandoned cuz i thought of an even MORE exciting oc. rinse n repeat) all of them SO

a list of oc ideas i dont think ill ever actually go through with:

troll who's hemospectrum is comprised of three bloods instead of twelve (rust, jade and indigo (aka RGB)) and is confused about the other 9. cuspbloods arent recognized as actual trolls, either being culled (alternia) or culled (beforus).

human who's so deep in their own head and so deeply into the internet and stuff like that that they dont even realize everyones being 100% serious and thinks that Grumblr is just one big roleplay community

sgrub dead session troll that just wants to go back to before they played sgrub, but they can't, so they spend the last few moments (minutes? months? years? who knows) just chatting to other timelines and universes before their inevitable death. the bomb ticks, and theyre so, so tired.

human trapped on alternia, trying to escape. they have a troll disguise and everything. the hive they reside in is abandoned, and the fear of outside makes them somewhat safer then the average person. they get stubbornly adopted by a lusus who lost its grub.(aka the meme of "my dad vs the cat he didnt want" type situation)

grubtuber (troll youtuber) who gets called out by their fans for fake-casting because of their clothes being their supposed blood color. turns out, a bronzeblood CAN wear blue without being a cerulean/indigo.

tin-foil hat conspiracy theorist human who somehow DOESNT believe trolls exist. this is the only conspiracy theory ("aliens are real") that they dont believe.

^ opposite of above. troll skeptic who is adamant that humans dont exist, and that if they did, wouldnt they "be in contact with us?", not realizing that they are.

troll who is for the empire 100% but is a lowblood that the empire treats like shit.

troll who somehow has three blood colors, all never mixing with one another. depending on where you cut, youll either get rust, violet, or olive.

troll pretending to be a confused human whos just found out about trolls. for fun and chaos :3

a seadweller who's had surgery to remove their fins and gills to live a life like a lowblood... but like, the way a rich person romanticies poverty, yknow?

[windy-trickster]

New muse~

-> You don't want to be here. No one needs to know anything about you. -> You'll simply refer to yourself as "QA". That's all people need to know about you. -> You know people will poke and prod at you. And you're ready for that. Hopefully you won't be bothered too much, you aren't here for idle chatter and befriending people. [QA is open for asks/judgements!]

[fictionkinfessions]

The version of the Alternian language in my place and time was a bit different from the tongues I now speak.

There were separate first person pronouns for seadwelling highbloods, landdwelling highbloods, midbloods, and lowbloods. Second person pronouns were similarly separate by how far above or below you someone was in caste. No specific caste pronoun was used to refer to mutantbloods, who were referred to in the same way as objects.

Separate first person, second person, and third person pronouns existed for every caste, but this was growing outdated even in my time and was only used on formal occasions or by particularly pretentious individuals.

- a Alternian troll, speaking uncharacteristically out of a wish to remain anonymous. Suffice to say I am a member of the group referred to as the ancestors.

Yknow if you really think about it homestuck and clone high do have some things in common…… 👀

Made Abe indigo because he just had that vibe? And considering lore, he does have super strength. His sign is basically 16 lol.

Topher is violet. Him being pretty high on spectrum plus a seadweller made sooooooo much sense to me! He’d proclaim to be woke with landdweller and lowblood related matters. He’s got freckle-like scales in a darker color of his skintone because I thought it’d look neat. His sign is 1492.

Cleo’s fuchsia and seadweller. She’s cleopatra. It fits. I gave her freckle-like scales in the color of her blood. Her sign is supposed to be VII, could only think to make it work as IVI / (V)

Van Gogh is gold. I just wanted draw him with a tail and a minor double mutation, a headcanon I have for glod bloods. His sign is a subtle reference to Starry Night, that swirl in the sky.
