Who are the characters in the auxillary cast (guardians, Felt, Midnight Crew, etc.) you're (aka ALL OF YALL) excited to showcase soon the most?

Also, are the Midnight Crew counterparts...Prospitan by any chance? *Wink wink Problem Sleuty reference wonk wonk* :)

And lastly, in Jane's bio, I can't help but notice how The Condesce's / her new title here / Queen of England sea bitch smth smth have a different hairstyle...but same horns and sign. Is she still )(IC in terms of individual (aka if she was still Alternian Meenah)?

I’m online, so you’re getting my (SinFrog!) two cents first. I’ll let the other mods weigh in through reblogs, since I don’t really know who I’m most excited for, and answer your other questions first.

Regarding the Midnight Crew, I should have actually said ‘Archagents’, since I’m referring to the SBURB construct characters in general rather than those specific variants from canon. I’m unsure if their variations from the troll of cherub session will be included, but expect to see their beta kid versions in the post.

As for Her Eternal Perfection, she *is* still Alternian Meenah, yes. She’s Queen Elizabeth II instead of Betty Crocker, hence Jane’s last name being Windsor.

Author Tags: I wrote this on a holiday, One night I wanted to write fluff and cuddles, Then the next day I wanted to write fights, Then I wanted to write more fluff, So that explains the kinda chunks of story, There's not a lot of content out in the open for this AU but I wanna publish this, I hope you can enjoy!, Shadow is a good friend, Rouge is a child, Literally she's like 8, Cream has slight PTSD for a variety of reasons only some of them being related to the little planet, Sonic swears, Tails doesn't care, Deep Lore? Definately, Wait I forgot literally the most important tags uh, The House of Needlemouse? Sonic Swap AU

Author Summary: -Sonic Swap AU-

After the fall of the Shadow Overmind, Shadow, Rouge, Tikal and Cream visit the Little Planet.

Part of The House of Needlemouse AU Multiverse, swaps are as follows:

Sonic <-> Shadow

Tails <-> Rouge

Knuckles <-> Tikal

Amy <-> Cream

Also mentioned: Emerl <-> Gamma

Omega is an exception, built a Gizoid with data from Knuckles. Shadow Android took the role of Metal during the events of what would've been Sonic CD and Heroes, though he used Maria (who is alive and well in this universe) as his vessel.

My summary: In this humorous fic, Sonic and Shadow sort of change places. Rouge is a kid.

Sonic Fusion AU. There lore to this AU made by some people I met on Discord. @hydro-city-zone was the one who made the originally made these designs and SinFrog (who I'm not sure has a Tumblr) came up with lore. They've only talked about on Discord from what I've seen.

For those who can't figure out who is what pair(don't tag this as ships!![okay, maybe there is a little sonamy with Wish] still not gonna use tag though) they're all fusions with Sonic, so for Ember, it's Knuckles, Termina is with Shadow, Nimbus is with Tails, and Wish is with Amy(duh!).

If it's not too much trouble could you do a top 5 song list for jane? (I really like her and all of her themes)

Ok I’m gonna fucking finally get back to these. It’s been a messy couple of weeks. Sorry for the wait @rainywishes.

Ok. Janey. MaGurl.

1. Renewed Return, by Marcy Nabors - Not much explanation needed, it’s so incredible it almost (almost) makes up for Jane’s severe and tragic lack of songs.

2. Jane Dargason, by Clark Powell and RJ Lake - Catchy, cool, overall super fun theme for both Jane and LOCAH.

3. Cyan Beast, by David Ellis - For whatever reason I used to really dislike this one, but it’s grown and grown on me until it’s now p much my number one choice for a Janestrife song.

4. Nurse, by SinFrog - From the first Janestuck album, which is great and you should check it out. They’ve got two entire albums of fun reworkings of classic homestuck tunes for the mspfanventures story in which everyone is Jane. Just. Everyone is Jane. 

5. Cumulating Dreams, by Jeremy “Solatrus” Iamurri, with Clark Powell on cello - For some reason I keep forgetting about this one but yeah it’s super pretty and anything with Clark’s cello gets a boost up my faves list.

Runners up: Cupcake Girl by Liam O’Donnell, Jane’s Theme by David “Dirtiest” Dycus, and Princess of Helium by Clark Powell.

And I guess since I plugged my grimbark jade song I may as well plug A Song for Jane which I made in direct response to Jane’s paucity of content.

How did all of you do the fancy mod color texts? And also the blood color texts on that one post about teasing Equius Nitram after half of the bloodswaps are shown?

Tumblr posts are able to be made using a HTML format, which allows for custom hexcodes to be implemented. We particularly use a site called homestuck5plus to get easy access to code for any log-style text or custom formatting. FlaringK, who made the site, is a good friend of the AF team and helps us with custom code for our blog!

making sure i understand correctly- do troll ancestors remain the same as they were in canon? does vriska maryam look up to the dolorosa or some altered version of her? is kanaya serket trying to live up to/ignore the shadow cast on her by marquis mindfang or something else? and the question that brought me here- the headmistress is stiill damara megido- are there effects backwards from gamzee being her descendant?

This is correct. Just like the humans, only the Beta Trolls have been 'swapped', meanwhile the Alpha Trolls have been warped due to being the descendants of pre-Scratch versions of said swapped trolls.

A while ago, Hydro drew this companion piece to an older infographic, which I'll attach for visual aid.

(note that we didn't swap the scratch around or anything, the Beta Trolls are just on the left because they're introduced first :P)

Trolls like Vriska, who are very interested in their Ancestors in canon, retain that trait in ALTERFALL, hence why she has this whole vampire aesthetic going on and is very proud of her connection to the Virgin Mother Grub. Meanwhile, Equius, someone who buys massively into the Hemospectrum, suffers from self-loathing and a 'cog in the machine' mentality rather than highblood supremacy. I'd definitely recommend giving the old character posts a fresh look with this in mind, as it can reveal a lot of the reasons why we chose certain directions with the characters!

Now that all the characters are done ( or at least it seems that way) what do you guys plan on posting next?

Characters aren't *quite* done. We've been planning an 'auxiliary characters' post for a while that I think at one point included the Cherubs, but is currently set to show off:

- Guardians

- Sprites

- The Midnight Crew

And other such roles. I'm not 100% sure if AF's equivalent to The Felt will be included, nor any Exiles.

Ancestors and Alpha Trolls will also probably not be included, but we plan to show off all the Alpha Trolls at some point - they've all actually been designed already! Same with a good amount of Ancestors across Beforus and Alternia.

TL;DR there will be at least one more character post in a looser format covering more ground, but I wouldn't be surprised if it gets chopped up finer as ideas come together. Hopefully we'll have other art, writing and forms of content to keep you all entertained!

(By the way, have any of you checked out the blog's theme on PC? There's gonna be character bios on there soon, and even now there's some fun stuff to mess with.)

Is there a murderstuck equivalent and if yes do the same characters die? (plz say no i love aradia makara sm!!)

So, this one's kind of on us, because during the process of getting the blog's theme working, we had some trouble formatting the about page with a copy of our FAQ. As a band-aid, here's some screenshots:

(But... If there was an ALTERFALL Murderstuck, it'd be called Slaughterfall :P)

How does the altered meteor fall change which cherub comes out on top?

The same as it ever was: Nature vs Nurture.

To be fully transparent, there are some things in ALTERFALL that *can't* be traced purely back to swapping the meteor landings spots - if we were 100% purist about that, there wouldn't be any bloodswaps. *Those* came about because to swap a troll's Lusus with another, they'd obviously need to match blood colours, and it helps to be able to use the term 'bloodswap' for tags :P

But I'm getting off track. If you look back at the original post, you'll notice The Headmistress, who is teaching them all sorts of things in one of the most hostile, health-degrading environments of them all: School. Worse still, a boarding school where they have no true freedom and are subject to constant pressure to learn seemingly inane subjects to please their Guardian.

Cross-reference this with that final point in the original post about how Calliope's mind has been 'twisted' by her experiences at Caduceus Academy and that there is nobody she hates more than her brother - who is confidently complacent regarding the matter of predomination. Clearly, something has gone very, *very* wrong in the cherubs' development for things to have turned out this way.

Putting all that aside, one of the most important things to bear in mind about ALTERFALL's deviations from canon is that no event or person exists in a vacuum, so one change can cascade into a million more increasingly grandiose alterations. Lord English does not exist as we know him in ALTERFALL, which means that events that might seem to have been messed with at random could very well have been manipulated by forces beyond Space and Time.

I don’t think the original was lacking per se, but since it’s my Doctor leitmotif arrangement I wanted to do it a bit more justice than I had. Plus, Bound in Blood (Beta) from Strife 2 is a pretty awesome Doctor remix so I wanted to include it. And Renewed Return is always amazing.

(Original) Arrangement of:

Nurse - SinFrog (via Janestuck)

“Sci Fi Robot” SFX - via SoundBible

“Robot Computing” SFX - via SoundBible

Medic - Daniel “dbnet18” Silva (via Act 8)

Doctor - George Buzinkai, produced by Clark Powell and Michael Vallejo

Plague Doctor - Steve Everson

“Dying Robot Sound” SFX - via SoundBible

Thought I’d shake things up a bit with a Doctor remix for Crockertier Jane cause I’m not super satisfied with how the others I did for her turned out. Thanks to @janestuckofficial for letting me use “Nurse” from their super awesome album. Check out their comic here! Also thanks to Act 8 for “Medic” from their also super awesome album and comic!
