#gatorboys

[audioroleplayconfessions]

Look, don't get me wrong, I love meeting other fans of gator boys, and I think gator boys is so very underrated. But . . . I honestly really like the small fandom we have.

I like that everyone is friends with each other, I like that we don't have weird- . . . let me rephrase that, that we don't nsfw fanart, like you inevitably get with big fandoms. I like knowing everyone's names. I don't want that to change. Yeah, gator boys deserves so much more attention, but this small fandom we have is amazing and I really don't want to loose that.

The bug army has been nicer, kinder, more caring and accepting then almost everyone I know irl, I love them so much, I love knowing them, I love that the fandom is small enough for us to have that and I'd be heartbroken if I lost it, or if we become one of those bug, toxic fandoms.

The boys trying to escaped^

[tiefling-chaos]

So here are some image of the early days of Nautica, Lorelei, Mara, and Damon including some pictures of locations before they met 

 here’s two pictures of the world that Mara and Damon stayed in before meeting Lorelei 

I found these two images on Pinterest and here’s a head canon explaining I have a head canon that those who are born to demons like Mara and Damon are can travel between dimensions a bit easier than your average person unfortunately, this also means that they wind up in liminal spaces a lot did the twins grow up in the back rooms maybe 

[piffany666]

Definitely punch

Marco!

"Awww t-thank you 🥺"

No

Grabs asher* runs*

To protect people like them and their brother

A - Mum. C - Bruno's mum. F - dad

*Crashea through the roof* more questions and scenarios!

1. If someone Jumpscare your bug would they punch the person or freeze up?

2. Actor bug Au!

What would be their Halloween costume?

3. Scenarios #1

Your bug wasn’t feeling well and was in their room laying on their bed and than hears a door knock on their door

Your bug: it’s open!

The door opens and it shows jemma with a basket in her hand

Jemma: Hey bug name I heard that you weren’t feeling well so I got you a get well basket for you *Shows them the basket and gives it to them*

4. Do they know how to ride a bike?

5. Scenarios #2

Your bug was babysitting Asher and Asher was dragging your bug around the swamp looking at different species and he was looking at a frog while your bug watches and than hears a arrow goes off and hit a near tree and your bug sees a hunter hiding in a few bushes with a arrow bow in their hands

Asher. Who’s confused: Bug what was that?

6. Superhero bug Au

What’s their background and why they want to become a hero (I don’t know if I ask this already)

7. If the bugs were to their parents in a tier list, what tier would they put their parents in

(I think that would be a interesting tier list)

I regret nothing.

[not-5-rats]

Guess who's sick again 🎶🎵🎶 (I'm chronically ill lol /gen)

Anyways there's nothing else I can do rn so...questions/scenarios!!!

1) Modern AU

It's the best time of the year, it's Halloween! Your bug is being forced to dress up idc if they don't want to. What's are the dressed up as?

2) Your bug is suddenly in a romance series/film! What's the main trope? (eg slow burn, enemies 2 lovers, friends 2 lovers, etc)

3) How easy is it to become friends with your bug? Like are they happy to talk to new people or do they just tell new people to fuck off?

4) Does your bug have any little signs/habits that indicate how they're feeling? (eg, picking skin when worried or swinging legs when they're happy stuff like that ig)

5) Is your bug good at time/self management?

6) Scenario ^^

Chester hadn't been home in a while, like...a while! So your bug goes out to try and find them. Eventually they find him, he was sat at the edge of a cliff, staring outwards with his knees pressed up against his chest.

Bug walked over yet he didn't look up at them. They asked what he was doing all the way out here and he remained quiet for a moment, thinking over what he could say

He hesitated before finally speaking, his voice hushed

"You guys are like family to me, this place is the most homely place I've ever lived and I am infinitely grateful for everything I've got here..."

He paused as his words caught in his throat, he was still staring out but he wasn't paying any attention to the sun setting beyond the trees. His voice began to tremble slightly as he continued

"but...I don't deserve this, I don't deserve any of this, any of you guys. After everything I've let happen, everything I've done...no I don't deserve any of this.."

(angst? No, this ain't angst, what I say later is gonna be angst :3)

[strayharmony943]

okay okay, me do questions about modern au!!!!

1: Who is the most likely to force the journalists or some of the others to dress up and model?

2: Scenario: Azren is a journalist, aura is a top researcher in an organization, and Astrid is a fashion designer. (Loads of money in the modern au 🤣) The bugs get a text from Astrid saying;

Astrids text: "Heyyyyyyyyy, can y'all help me out? Ive made some new outfits for everyone based on fav flowers and colors! And sooooo, I was wondering if....yoi could help me find Azren? Peace ✌️!"

How would your bug react?

3: Okay, this next one is after the bugs arrive at Astrid's studio, which is extremely large for some reason. And they also have their outfits on! (Y'all can decide what to wear if anyone draws these 😅🥲) And all the bugs see Aura dragging Azren out of the dressing room!

Azren: *A blushing mess* "AURA I AM NOT GOING OUTSIDE!!!!!"

Aura: "C'mon!! It's just and outfit!!!!"

Aura manage to get Azren out and he is being forced to wear a yellow and green suit with a moonflower pattern on it. Which also has a boob window cuz why not, I like embarrassing mah boi.

How do you think your bug would react!

4: I need outfit designs, cuz I plan on drawing these! Soooo, fav colo or colors r, fav flower, Name, type of style, anddddd anything else y'all want!!

Imma be having fun with these :3

[willowve01]

1. She’d try to become friends with one of the quiet, neglected kids. “I’ll be there for you/your friend!”

2. She’d worry or be put on edge bc of the sudden quiet atmosphere.

3. Raine would try to speak in language Korey would understand and try to teach Korey how to care for a four month old child.

The worst Raine could do is care for the child herself.

4. Nurture child, beat parents.

Listen- I know I said that was the last question I'd ask- but @diamondzoey question about how the bugs would react if they met little jemma inspired me.

Last few questions, and then I'm passing out-

1. Now, if your bug, when they were a kid, got the chance to meet another bug when they were a kid aswell, who'd they choose and how'd they react?

2. You notice one of the more energetic bugs is suspiciously quite, what do you do?

And yk what? Fuck it. Korey is babysitting her 4 month old neice, Ayla! But she has almost zero knowledge on how to take care of a baby- (we've seen how she holds her). How would your bug react and act in this situation?

Bonus question cuz why the fuck not, how would your bug's reaction be meeting Korey when she was still a kid and her very neglectful parents?

[whatudottu]

Honestly Ben 10 is probably one of the most based science fiction series out there by sheer virtue of it having the balls to showcase any alien concept it wanted to no matter how ridiculous, and whenever someone is like “there’s no way in Hell that could ever be scientifically feasible”, it dared to look them in the eyes and go “Yeah, well, this is a world where magic and superpowered mutants also exist. What are you gonna do? Cry about it? You grown ass adult who’s expecting scientific feasibility out of a cartoon meant to sell toys to preteen boys that has lore so inconsistent it’s almost impossible to tell what’s canon and what’s non-canon? LMAO loser.”

I mean OS had it all- obviously aliens but not only that, at minimum 10 of them; mutants in daily life across at least America, no doubt in other places too; magic, albeit one without a system beyond ‘there’s a spellbook and some charms’. The shift to purely alien in AF makes the wonderful nonsense sci-fi stuff into frustrating logic trees of ‘how does xenobiology get this powerful’ which I had definitely fallen into. Ben 10 is unabashedly science fantasy, so why not go the full fantasy and bring back mutants and magic, haha!

Admittedly a good implementation of magic in a series tends to follow a magic system, which I’m not especially great at coming up with, especially in comparison to speculative biology which come with pre-established rules. But hey, I don’t exactly expect it to be fleshed out, at least not as well as the alien aspect of Ben 10; even then, there’s only so much fleshed out, it’s to tease us into making lore for it lmao-

To be fair though, Ben 10 itself had to whack itself on the cheek in order to be reminded of its magic and especially mutant parts, which unfortunately in the latter case was central to major retcons so…

[every-character-ever-poll]

twink or treat

Your blorbo is Nikki from Swapdoodle! Happy Halloween!

[audioroleplayconfessions]

Okay, but like- was I really the only person who starting wondering why the fuck Bug was walking away from Marco in the Blood Moon Gator Boys AU?

Like, Bug, you're probably not getting out of that swamp on that leg. At least die in a fun way.

If you're going to die early at least die from this guy.

I mean for someone who's probably planning on violently torturing you, he's still making me feel more loved them most people I know irl.

[willowve01]

The true reason why Timmy’s scared of toads.

[piffany666]

Hi hi

And a cute ship art I did of them and timmy

[tiefling-chaos]

I just realized something and now I cannot see it  and if I have to be cursed with his knowledge, so do you berry baby’s

[diamondzoey]

More questions for the bug army let’s go!

1. What do they do on a winter day?

2. Actor Au!

Jemma in her costume while filming pirate swap Au: how long do we have to film for?

3. If they were in the twisted wonderland game which dorm would they be in

4. Modern Au!

If they got put in jail why was the reason?

5. If they were to punch one person from their past who would it be

6. If the bugs were to wear high heels would they be good walking in them or would they fall face first?

7. What If jemma showed her burned scar on her face she got from the boiling water that poured over the left side of her face which she hides, how would they react?

8. High school Au

Favorite and least favorite class and why?

9. Villain Au >:3

If they were fighting a hero and say hero asks why did they become a villain in the first place what would bug name say?

A/n: I hope you enjoy and if I forget anyone let me know

Guys I'm back (not really)!!! I missed you all so much and- oh wow I missed too much, huh.

I'll start with saying that I'm doing okay now! My mental health has improved a lot and I'm very proud of myself :) however! I'm still on break, I just came here to address a few things.

Now to what's happening in the bug army—and lemme just say jeez. I did not expect to come back to drama, especially with how small this sub fandom is.

English isn't my best language so hopefully I'm not being rude saying these-

Most of my information came from @audioroleplayconfessions and a few friends of mine

-Now~ about the discord server. A lot has happened and I won't be getting into too much detail about it. One or two of our members weren't in the best place and sought out help from me and a few others, they're both okay now and are getting proper help ^^

None of us are exactly okay in the head in the army, I don't mean "insane" I mean "just need a safe environment to vent". And that's exactly why the discord was made! But unfortunately it went past an after school comfort club and more of a therapy session.

Thankfully! Me and the mods are being especially stricter on the rules and are actively enforcing them better!

This is still our first time making a server so of course we aren't the best at it, but we're all trying! I do hope that anon can feel safe there again.

that's all I'll say about it, so let's close this topic already.

-The favoritism! Now sure what to say on this one tbh, just that no one owes you anything! If you're so insecure that you have to seek validation from strangers online—and having panic attacks that you aren't being noticed, maybe the problem is with you. Most of our amazing artists that get slightly more recognition is because they're one of the first batch of bugs to appear in this fandom!

It honestly just feels like you're putting the creators on a special pedestal, above everyone—while they're all very talented and incredible people, they're still human. Just like you, just like me. They try to interact with everyone they can and it's clear every person helping with the gator boys series is trying their damn best.

I genuinely do hope you're doing okay now though :(

I'm always here to help and support you if you need it! But now, it's best if you take some time off to focus on yourself! Take a mental health break, it'll do wonders to you, I would know! I'm taking one now ^^

-that one anon ask that was very clearly about me but they didn't say it.

I'm not too fussed up about it, just a little sad I made someone feel that way

I'm not sure what I did that gave you the impression of "annoying" and "pretentious" of me, but I'm really sorry that I did anyways. I do hope you'll still consider joining our little army, and so we too can be friends! I'm sure you're a great person!

Do know I'll always greet you and new members with open arms! <3

Oh and thank you so much to the people in the reblogs that defended me—giving you all the biggest digital hug ever

-and lastly~ I really, really hope none of us gave you a bad impression of us or the VAs! Everyone here is a wonderful person! From talented to kind to fun! Gator boys is an awesome series and we all just wanted to create a small group to fangirl and boy about it X3 I'll admit things have gotten a bit too far, but me and the founders are trying our best to keep everything under control.

Now, I'm not too good with words—but, I'm very sorry about everything that happened these few days, but I promise everything will be okay from now on! We'll all make sure of it!

Gonna be putting this post in my pinned for a week just in case-
