#role-swap thingy

[lillazyboithings]

inspired by @24-guy 's (really really sorry for the tag) artworks of a role-swap Swim Captain!Richie and English Nerd!Max, and AUURRGHHH brainrot is definitely strong! (kinda took some artistic liberty though like on the letterman and max's appearance)

anime on the jacket is fairytale, was one of my first anime brainrots tbh so i gave it to him

[paperhandsexe]

idk what to call this but i'm a fan of it

[definitely-a-clod]

Omniscient readers viewpoint?? AND the Stanley parable??? Wha- I would never-

Their fandoms are just (from what I've seen so far)

But Idk anymore man

MURDER DRONES ROLESWAP AU

Neo= N

Val/Valerie= V

Z= Uzi

N and Uzi swap with each other, V sorta does both Lizzy and Thad's roles, Doll and J swap (will probably draw in future), and Nori swaps with Cyn!

N and V are Blue and Red respectively cause I noticed thats consistently the colors N would draw them in (I think idk)

Close ups underneath the thingy

Do you have any swap!franziska art? Wanna see more of her design

i unfortunately don't have any polished art of her bc i think when i drew this, my swap au hyperfixation was starting to wane, whoops! these are just some very quick sketches of what i wanted her new thing in the swap au to be.

(i will be putting old art of her old design if you want to see it under read more pftt [unfortunately not a lot of them bc i wasn't vibing with the old role i gave her so i wasn't drawing her a lot 😔])

oki doks, now time for a lore dump!!!!! (copy-pasting what i wrote on the bird app a long time ago):

ok, so the thing is, i gave a bit of redd white's role to mvk. my reasoning for that is since he's the one who killed gregory (who has mia's role), he'd have to take on that role too. when characters don't have any like, "exact" foils for their roles to be swapped with, i either make them stay the same or hobble some roles together. mvk's case was the latter.

so mvk runs a private eye that's connected to the prosecutor's office (he's corrupt bc have you seen that guy) and franziska happens to be working there.

mvk also happens to be one the people responsible for covering up the details about mia's death.

i wanted to change franziska's job from my first version of her bc she doesn't really have a connection to the supernatural, so i just gave her a job that works closely in the covering crimes too.

but yeah, fran has to meet gregory, and then she gets framed by redd white

and she's furious about it, of course! that fool works under her father, how dare he put the blame on her!

with how fran is supposedly cooperating with gregory, i think mvk would've really wanted her to catch the fall even with how much he cares about his daughter. he's an 'end justifies the means' kind of guy.

i don't think fran realizes until swap!jfa that it was her father who purposely tried to frame her and the one who ordered to kill gregory.

i think she'd feel really torn by that and the guilt with how miles defended her before knowing all that would've ate her up (the fact that gregory is dead, no spirit channeling or anything makes this more fucked up for them i think agfhhjh)

however, i still haven't figured out why franziska would agree to talk to gregory if he's investigating mia's death, and i'm not quite sure why gregory would've been investigating mia's death in the first place bc unlike mia in the regular verse, he'd have no connections to her case at least

(that would probably require some aai duology knowledge that i do not have right now ASKSKS)

my brain isn't fully working right now so i can't fully ramble on about her design, but i did think it was important to make her dress eccentric; and i know that everyone dresses eccentric in aa, but particularly that one point in turnabout sisters where april may should've remembered maya bc she dressed weird? i wanted the same for franziska ASKSKS roast her old-timey gothic looking ass!!!!!

and from my recent drawing of her, i think if i were to draw like, a polished ref for her, i would like to show the fact that her make-up is severe. again, 'eccentric' or whatever pftt

i originally had her be like a witch, some sort of seer who could communicate with the dead through her crystal ball. scrapped that and changed it bc it was just not digging my dudes asdghd a shame tho bc i'm rather fond of her big-ass veil witch hat thingy

[ OLIVERSE ]

more info below !! (I'm still developing them so stuff may change in the future ^^)

• original oliver

- he's just Oliver, nothing changes about him

• him.

- I don't wanna make him fully introverted, so I chose a more ambivert personality for him, with awkward moments

- if I am not mistaken this is kinda Randy?? like in this alternative version they do swap roles, but I decided not to make him fully 'Randy'

(I'll have to watch a playthru about that part again. But for now he's a mixture of them both)

• swap oliver

- this one's personality is Randy's. I wanna keep his slang so there's some resemblance of the og one, aside form the head, and maybe some traits of his, but I am not so sure atm ^^'

• alpha oliver

- this guy at first seems really off and kinda distant, but doesn't mean ill. He probably doesn't have a good relationship with ppl and tries his best, but society seems to be against him in some way

- once u get to know him, he's the sweetest guy ever, he's just a bit silly. He keeps the same interests as og oliver and is a little more introverted

- I also remembered a comparison for him: that one kid in a bullies group that doesn't really wanna be there, but stays for reputation or for benefits. But I am debating on making him the weird kid in class type too- or both

(someone on pinterest said he looked like he'd say slurs LMAO. In my notes app I wrote and I quote: 'he seems like he bullies kids on Roblox or Minecraft, but doesn't know any better')

• P L U S H

- he talks, but only the Olivers can hear him, no one else can

• olipin

- he doesn't talk 💔 some may say he is cursed, but who knows, heehee

I didn't add a flesh head version because the design is subjective, but if I do add him it'll be something like in chapter 3 where they showed ppl with a black cloud thingy

[callmeajorallie]

Got bored, made some art in regards to ii 16 & 17 but the gkgg au instead (With text)

(Without text)

On other news, here's a rant about this au because why tf not + this au has been my hyperfixation for months now despite the fact it is literally a roleswap au & just things I have been pondering ever since ii 15 came out (Which for those who don't know what the gkgg au is, here. Because you'll need context to understand half of this.) I kinda always thought Mecintosh would be the one to side with Paintbrush, because I don't really think 4s would turn on Cobs, but then again, with how Cobs relationship is portrayed in the au, it is hard for me to see any of them breaking off from him (Besides 4 but it was more like Cobs broke off from him). Next, there's the whole ending thingy, which god damn would the endings be different tenfold, my source? Now I couldn't find the exact post, however, I do recall when swap Sliver was revealed (fulfilling the role of Candle), he was given a backstory as to how he discovered the shine or something (My memories fuzzy okay?), & that it was stated that him & knife were brothers, now why is this important? Simple, as much as we're aware, Cobs did not create the contestants. With this backstory supporting the fact, albeit this post I am referring to could be very much outdated for various reasons. But my point still stands until proven otherwise, so take it with a grain of salt Now, another thing that would change things tenfold is gkgg mp4's motives. Why would he delete the contestants (Also I'm pretty sure the explanation as for how bro's able to do so is the same), does he view them as an obstacle? Does he want to reconnect with his creator who he pushed away by being emotionally inept? Is he doing it because he can & he's just being a massive bastard? Who knows, I don't. Anyway, I could see mp4 telling Test Tube & Baseball that they aren't real to turn them against Cobs, with the statement being complete bullshit but bro has enough evidence to back it up. Also Mepad going against mp4 because bro wants answers & 3gs singing the future is so yesterday because mp4 needed to distract him somehow from everything else going on. Anyway, that was my rant about an ii roleswap au that has consumed me for the past several months at least The gkgg ii au belongs to @maxphilippa, supported by @burgycreeper405-blog (I am scared for my life if Max or Burgy finds this my social anxiety will not be able to handle it)

Is there a list of all the jobs the cats can have?

I gotta make a whole thingie on this but here's a short list of the new job expansions, as a quick summary before I get around to it;

All heads of the patrol expansions report to the deputy. Patrol expansions also have apprentice chores that need to be carried out-- like dishwashing for Kitchen Patrol.

Official Jobs: Tasks that a cat can volunteer for or be assigned to for the day.

Kitchen Patrol Tasked with preparing meals. This includes processing prey from carcass to meat, making all the cats feel as full as possible on the food they have on-paw, and general preservation. NEW Position: Head of Kitchen. Oversees these operations, ensures fair ration distribution, decides the communal meal for the day, works directly with the other two heads to provide building materials (leather, bones) and discuss hunting quarries.

Hunting Patrol Very similar to canon; tasked with catching prey or patrolling the border. NEW Position: Head of Hunting. Tasked with managing prey populations and overseeing the types of animals that are being brought home. Has the freedom to levy "limits" on species and organize big game hunts. Is also expected to keep tabs on the territories and populations of other predators, especially vixens and how many cubs they're having in a season.

Construction Patrol An expansion of canon's unofficial builder roles. Tasked not only with building itself, but weatherproofing based on the season, comfort of the dens, and collecting materials. NEW Position: Head of Construction. Oversees projects and manages safety. Works intimately with the Head of Kitchen especially, responsible for taking the skinned pelts and processing them into proper leather, and cleaning spare long bones (especially of rabbits) for use as beams and supports. In ThunderClan, they are also responsible for maintaining the spears.

Educator A cat in charge of giving all kittens all their basic skills and a simple introduction to history, before their mentor and the elders eventually take over. Teaches kits how to understand glyphs, the names of certain animals, the leaders of their Clan, etc.

Unofficial Jobs: Tasks that a cat chooses to do, sometimes also asking permission to do it professionally or permanently.

Chaperone The "perma-queen" position. Helps out in the nursery and attends the needs of the queens. Doesn't typically do a lot with the kittens themselves, between their Mi, the Educator, any Bas or family they have, and the elders. Raising kittens is communal, so the Chaperone focuses more on the parents themselves. (Chaperones are generally rare, as they are redundant if you write the clan as a proper social unit, imo...)

Trader A cat who brings things to the border or to gatherings in order to swap them for other goods. Becoming more popular as peace between the Clans grows. Not a "position" but more of a hobby, or a talent. The Clans are currently running on bartering, between borders.

Crafting Weaving, tanning, toymaking, instrument creation, etc. Not so much a singular position rather than a blanket of various hobbies Clan cats can do in their off-time, now. While Construction Patrol often has to do these as chores, they can be done just for fun or personal gain.

In addition, the Leaders, Deputies, and Clerics have significant expansions as well.

Leaders are now given 9 lives to USE, and are expected to function as "the ideal warrior." They are at the head of dangerous missions, patrols, and are brave responders to natural disasters. They are blessed by StarClan itself, carrying a piece of a star to display their holy rank.

The Deputy is now expected to be the one who handles the "busywork" in the Clan so the leader is free to lead by example. The final decision always goes to the leader, but the deputy has MASSIVE influence over the day-to-day functions of the Clan now.

And the Cleric is the healer and spiritual authority of the entire Clan, only outdone by the Leader itself. Only a Cleric is allowed to interpret signs and omens, with Clan Culture now having the concepts of blasphemy, dark magic, and demonic influence.

[agentc0rn]

Um yeah Villain/Team Flare! AZ was apparently real.

ok so the funny thing is that i once did a role swap thing with lysandre and az prior to the leaked concepts of AZ being the main villain (deleted the art because i did not like it...:( ) but i decided to tackle this again and uh, yeah. Oh and i gave a scorpion stinger for the mecha suit gear without the three hoverfly thingies (it looks like it’s coming from his head but it’s coming from the backpack 😅)

ALRIGHT

PART #2 OF NICO MASTERMIND THEORY

https://www.tumblr.com/lxrd-ren/763859465077456896/nico-mastermind-theory-hear-me-out?source=share

^ Refer to part 1

Now

MonoTV + Nico Likeness

Already listed a lot of these in the last post but I found more somehow

Never thought I'd be comparing colours for theories again, let alone shades of red, but here we are once again

So, in some of MonoTV's sprites it's got red claws, so I thought, kinda reminds me of Nicos red eyes

The colour on Nicos default sprite does make it seem like a stretch, but fortunately, the dev released the sprites of the cast without any shadows or similar things added to the colours (bottom right of image), and you start to see how the reds do seem to look pretty similar; the colour on the wheels are also quite close in hue

Also noted down how the little dent on MonoTV's right antenna thingy may be reminiscent of Nicos little tuff in-between their own cat-like hair, but I may just be reaching

MonoTV Being Made For Nico

Also concerning MonoTV, in the last post I mentioned how MonoTV might've been made for or with Nico in mind

Now, take into account how Nico literally feels better being around things that remind them of cats, and MonoTV basicly being a cat really makes it seem like it was built specifically for them

Think of it like Semiotics, like Veronika mentioned at one point funny enough. Nico feels better being around things that remind them of cats, so MonoTV is built to resemble a cat so Nico feels better around them

Or, Nico could've just asked for MonoTV to be like a cat, cause, y'know...

Cat-THEMED things they like specifically, not cats surprisingly

Narrative Things

(And yes the birthdays might be significant)

^ Straight from the Dev

Their birthday might fit into two narrative things:

1) The whole narrative of Teruko and David being swapped with the protagonist / antagonist role, I know I saw a post mention Greek mythology and fate with those fighting against fate (David + Xander) being the heroes in this story and those who accept fate being the (I guess) villains (Teruko), for lack of a better word

Normally the one who started the killing game is the villain, but if the roles really are swapped, then the masterminds birthday being on Hero's day lines up perfectly

2) If the killing game was started out of revenge for Mai, Nico could consider themselves to be Mai's 'hero' of sorts; doing her justice after death in a way

Speaking of narratives..

Rose + Nico Friendship + Parallels

Yep, I wanna talk about these two

First off, they both seem to be significant; atleast to each other. Nico doesn't seem to interact with many people, and Hu seems to be the only other one they actually choose to speak to. Aswell with Rose sleeping so often, we don't really see her hang out with people, let alone a specific one. But, the time she spent with Nico in the boutique was brought up again. Sure it was because of Nico stealing the turpentine, but the fact that it was their friendship and the broken trust that came with it that was also touched upon makes me think that we might be getting more out of this duo besides how Nico got the turpentine

Now that's established, I'll talk about they could parallel each other (and how they do so more if Nico is indeed the mm)

I believe they parallel each other in relation to memory; specifically, how much you know

With Rose's photographic memory, she is at one end with knowing a lot, and is even suffering with so much knowledge

With Nico, I believe they are at the other end with not knowing anything

Not sure if I mentioned this in the last post, but I believe that if Nico is indeed the mastermind, then they are not even aware of it themselves; and this time, I got things to back it up YIPPEE

Nico Is Unaware

(Thank you to @1moreff-creator for the masterpost that the image above came from)

So, this makes a lot more sense if a big part of Nico is indeed how they are not aware they are the mastermind. I could see this being relevant in the last chapter when they are confronted

'Dude wtf why did you start the killing game'

'I don't remember. No matter how much I think, I don't know.'

Etc, etc..

Revisiting the Mai statements also adds to this

Nico: Everyone confided in her.

Now, we know they are connected to both Mai and whichever cast member the sentence is assigned to. However, I saw someone (probably @demodraws0606) talk about the possibility that some of them are connected to the character in a different way. And that way is that whatever the statements say, the opposite is true for the character

What this means for Nico exactly?

Well

The opposite of this would probably be to withhold information from someone. Could be referencing everyone at the XF-TURE company or any potential traitors purposefully not telling Nico they are the mastermind, especially if they went out of their way to prevent them from knowing this

Could explain why MonoTV keeps insisting they are not a cat; just another attempt to keep Nico from the truth. Afterall, Nico is heavily associated with cats. But ofcourse, MonoTV is incompetent so its attempt is not the best. Furthermore, although MonoTV doesn't know who the mastermind is, they may have just been programmed to, idk, 'Don't bring up the cat thing whatsoever, and if it's pointed out, deny deny deny.' Lest the very cat-like mastermind gets discovered. I mean, even Arei's drawing of Nico includes cat ears; not hard to put two and two together. Mf even smells like cat

From Last Post:

(Thanks to @takesometimetoreflect for commenting)

Now, they mentioned several things that add onto this

First,

1) They are consistently placed last / next to MonoTV

Both in the heading and cast list, they are dead last. I don't think this would be significant if not for the fact they are like the only one who this applies to

Whilst the default sprites are on display, I'll talk about the next point

2) Nico is the only one to have their default sprite looking away and not in front of them

Again, hella suspicious purely based on the fact that they are the only one to do this

(Also I checked; David's new default sprite is also facing the front like everyone else's)

And finally..

3) Their secret quote is the only one to be a question

Similar thing, they are again the odd one out

(Their secret quote is: Why should I own up to the mistakes that someone else made?)

Nico if you keep this up you gonna be as suspicious as Whit

Extra:

Just something else I noticed

Again from the masterpost, the first thing that appears is the above sentence. Only thing I wanna point out is with nicknames, only two scenarios come to mind. First is how Hu's nickname used to be Julia, but no one really uses it as a nickname. Only time someone even refers to her using the name is David, and at the time the fucker (/aff) is mocking her

Only other time is how during the introductions, for some reason, Nico calls Teruko 'Teru' as a nickname. Its never brought up again, and I found it quite strange given that Nico has never called anyone else by a nickname

I mean the statement is basicly saying to not call anyone by a nickname, except the protagonist (aka, Teruko)

If that moment is not what that statement is referring to, then I'll eat my none-existant hat

DDVAU-Vember Days #12, #13, #14, #15 and #16!

By the power of stubborness I live.

Honestly, doing fully colored sketches might be the most effort I'll give during this challenge, so enjoy. I'm not that proud of how these drawings turned out (rushed), however, at the very least I actually got them done, so props to me!

If you don't mind, I'll make a little note for each prompt I've missed on:

Day #12: Tango

I didn't really finish it, but I'm really proud of the way his hair turned out.

Day #13: AU

I've actually had an idea for a DDVAU AU for the longest time, so I'm glad I finally get to draw it.

This one's kind of a role swap. In my AU, Scar is a mutant and Grian is a common person. Both of them are still vigilantes and rivals, but here, Scar works for an unknown organization whose efforts go into supporting sirens, wizards and mutants (Convex) and Grian works for the government.

I'd go on but I'm. Tired.

Day #14: Date

Grian asked Scar out on a date to a cat cafe. Scar hardly heard the "date" part.

Day #15: Animals

Have Queen Jellie having a nice nap.

Day #16: OC

Today's prompt is 'OC'.

I've been wanting to do a self-insert for quite some time, so here she is.

If you've ever seen that one MLP special where they get transported to a comic book and the villain has some strange hair thing going on, then yeah that'd be my mutation thingy.

I'm finally caught up, thank god.

Double Hearted is an amazing comic made by @kitsuneisi and @xmaruu11.

The prompts for DDVAU-Vember were made by:

@rebelrenee36

@liloinkoink

@kowore

@deedolldrawz

@anpanbun

And other folks from the DDVAU Discord.

[another-delta-lover]

Hey, would you still do something from this: https://www.tumblr.com/another-delta-lover/750782192688545792?source=share ?

Maybe 2D with Red Oktoberfest? Can be RED, BLU, or Emesis Blue versions, I'm not picky

Since you asked so nicely and you aren't picky, take all 3 of em (my camera is kinda shitty today)

[RED]: based on the official TF2 comics

[BLU]: it's my blu medic design and my blu heavy design:3 based on a kind of "role swap" thingy where Blu!Heavy is killed by the Classic!Medic and Blu!Medic is the one go fight him

[Emesis Blue]: he's comforting him after all the events ☹️

[bunningchaos]

Nightmare belongs to jokublog, on Tumblr!

Shattered Dream belongs to galacii-gallery, on Tumblr!

Killer belongs to RahafWabas, on Tumblr!

Swap (you can only see his back) belongs to Popcorn Pr1nce

With Mirza's recent reappearance, in a redesign or revamp. If one can even call it that. Decided to doodle that, anddd.. drop his new reference sheet below the cut, why not

He still retains the whole, 'siren'-ish abilities.

Soo, what changed?

His entire outfit in general, rather than keeping with only putting him in skirts or dresses. Decided to just grant him pants privileges.

He's capable of flight now too, albeit not the best as the wings are still attached to his hip bones and not by the shoulder blades

Also yoinked his arms off so he's controlling those hands thingy with magic.

No he isn't Gaster.

Role wise, rather than having a passive role where he doesn't do much. He now plays as a informant that gather information on what others pays him to dig up, working alongside someone else, unidentified as of now

What's the payment?

...You'll find out.

Do he still like physical affection?

Yes, yes he do. Albeit not as much as the prior version, but if offered a hug or anything else. It will be accepted.

[hotline-mayhem]

role/personality swap au thingy idk yay

[scisetforever]

okayyy so this one might be more obvious but before nimona saves everyone by destroying the canon, there is this tiny shot of people viewing this artwork thingy of gloreth killing the “monsters”. keep in mind that the “monsters” are on the right and gloreth is on the left. and in the next shot, nimona is flying towards the director (nimona being on the left and the director on the right inside the canon where the green light is). this shows the swap in roles between the two, nimona becoming the hero, and the director becoming the villain AND ITS SO SYMBOLIC AHHHH I LOVE THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL. just goes to show how complex these characters are, there is no completely good hero and no completely bad villain.
