HELLO im new here and id love to learn more abt your fantrolls!!! :D (--you know who)

HELLO PERSON I DEFINITELY KNOW!!! I'm so glad you asked uwu 💙

I just got done with making these charts for my 12 troll ocs in a session!

In order:

Collen Sheepa: Knight of Hope

Langui Axshew: Bard of Mind

Llusca Scargo: Rogue of Doom

Dorwen Pinche: Sylph of Blood

Mussei Copice: Seer of Void

Mardik Ichora: Prince of Space

Seques Hyaeni: Witch of Rage

Ysalia Noctil: Maid of Heart

Simali Platir: Page of Life

Linnea Raddle: Mage of Breath

Averis Gyptae: Thief of Time

Guineu Suruga: Heir of Light

I forgoed Auspice because I'm not really a fan of that aspect so I don't think about it much ^^" And I placed Familial because my trolls have friendships more unique than pale. I imagine it like Karkat and Kanaya, familial.

Since I have so many, I'll keep it at that! If you want to ask about any specific OCs or dynamics, you're free to send another ask! :>

Ps. Anyone interested in commissioning a chart like this for their ocs? :'o

Ysalia Noctil / Indigo Blood / Derse Dreamer    

Maid of Heart / Sagio / 5'9

Ysalia Noctil is a pretty, talented, and upstanding Indigo Blood. She holds pedigree and the caste system in high regards and is always looking for an excuse to either lord her status and power over the ‘lesser trolls’ or to suck up and mingle with 'exceptional blood’. In her childhood, she lived alone in a huge hive in a snowy mountaintop, isolated. For all her showmanship and big talk these days, her power back then was actually very little. She grew up with her place constantly falling apart and/or getting outages. Her lusus, a big and floating Jellyfish, was usually her light source.

In her lonely years, she gained lots of special interests; she learned to play many weird-sounding instruments, perfected how to brew beautiful cups of tea, learned how to fix and create her own furniture, and kept up with a respectable series of troll romance novels. She daydreamed of the day she would be swept off her feet… but she hasn't yet found the one. That's alright.

She's been too busy being the number one helper of the Heiress, Langui Axchew.

There was a competition held by the Fuchsia-Blood for a loyal servant that would be able to 'take care of anything' for her. A few trolls tried out, but Ysalia was the sole survivor of many sadistic, random, and stupid rounds. Her perseverance is truly commendable.

Now she gets to live everyday blissfully next to the highest-ranking troll of them all. Though Langui is… not the brightest…. or the most active… or even the most commanding, Ysalia does not mind. She's out of the sad mountaintop and with a new purpose in life! She gladly takes care of everything for the lazy Heiress; from making her look presentable, to doing chores, to cooking, to counseling. Ysalia would like to believe their closeness will eventually lead to her getting a more favorable position… a title even. As Langui's moiral.

Langui is not so sure about that.

I made a random Teal Law Enforcer troll to be the antagonist of my session, and before I could ask my partner about him, I was told:

'Ah, the signature teal look of superiority Of course they're a Teal Blood, they all think they're hot shit."

???EXCUSE ME??? Which Teal hurt you, my love???

New troll oc, Langui Axshew the sleepy fuchsia blood, and an Ysalia redesign ❤️ Her name is going off of the word 'Languid' cuz shes a sleepy girl and Axolotl because her fins/ears will be like one's (I just kept forgetting to draw em in the first 3.) This is actually her second draft design cuz her first one made her look way more like a bitch. May post that pic another time just to show it XD I prefer this design more. As for Ysalia's new role...

Ysalia used to have her role be trying to be my old friend's fuchsia's redrom (something she kept failing at), and she was the bff of their violet blood mad scientist. Now she is pretty much Langui's caretaker and best friend, though Langui absolutely takes her for granted. Ysalia is delighted to have the Heiress under her care, biting off more than she can chew with her meticulous care. Langui doesn't care; she usually lets Ysalia do what she wants and can usually sidestep any annoyances by pulling rank on her.

WIP of an animatic with my OC Ysalia and the song 'Being Low as Dirt' by Tsuyu.

She began as a concept to explore what would happen if Equius had a love interest that was the same hue as him. I essentially concluded that it would bore him... and I became fond of imagening my Maid of Heart's descent into villainy due to that heartbreak. I have a post in my other blog with all the details of this version of Ysalia, but I'm not as big of a fan of it as I used to be X,D. As it stands, I just allow myself to think fondly of a spurned, younger Ysalia, and this song is perfect for that. I even miss it enough sometimes to consider putting something similar on her new story with my other fantrolls. To have her face heartbreak of this magnitude again... mmm but I dont think it could work as well ^^" Bleh, can't have it all.

Doodles of my fantrolls, Ysalia and Collen. I'm experimenting with Ysalia's design once she's had character growth post-mortem. Collen is just fun to draw being a sad lil anxious bean ❤️

I surprisingly woke up from an angsty dream with my sleepy oc Langui that left me feeling sad and (a bit) guilty for the stuff I'll be putting her through. So I started making sketches of cute interactions with her and other trolls, since I've posted most everyone's ref sheets anyways.

[dreadful-home]

Someone in a server I'm in drew this meme and I thought it would be cute to explore the dynamic with these three ocs of mine! In order, Guineu, the smart deep-sea mutant with a crush on -> Ysalia, the dorky loyal maid and #1 admirer of the Heiress, who is -> Langui. She is oblivious to it all.

Equius x Same Blood Troll Oc

An Equius simp, Ysalia Noctil's of the same blood as him but with the sign of a Sagio. She holds pedigree and the caste system in high regards and is always looking for an excuse to either lord her status and power over the 'lesser beings' or to suck up and mingle with 'exceptional blood'. She lives alone in a huge ass hive in a snowy mountaintop, isolated. For all her showmanship and big talk, her power is very little, and her place is constantly falling apart and/or getting outages. Her lusus, a big and floating Jellyfish, is usually her light source.

She got lost in her hive a lot in her childhood but now she knows the layout by heart. She read every 'respectable' romance imaginable, and when she came across Equius in the chat rooms, decided that him being so close to her in color was D E S T I N Y. She's never seen the man but his eloquence and respect for the caste along with his sharp mind and love of the high-ranked bowmen make him perfect in her mind. She will begin to obsess and modify herself to fit him.

The Sagi trait of having many interests they're passionate about stuck to me when I read it and so now I'm attaching to her multiple interests and goals like an obsession with 'the perfect tea combination', making 'the coziest blanket', and plays embarrassing to look at, but soothing to listen to instruments. She plays a version of the theremin that’s a fleshy bug creature and the sounds are its screams as her hands get closer to touching it. She also has a giant handmade armonica she built with Equius’s guidance. She’s very proud of it. Most if not all of these started out of some want to help Equius when they'd finally meet and live together.

See, she would patiently listen to all he'd say when he'd infodump, and even try getting into robots and archery a bit to be able to talk about things, he'd somewhat try to do the same but it never really clicked with him what her intent in all these things were. And it's dumb because she'd literally be like 'What's your favorite tea? What are other flavors you enjoy? How do you take it? What textures give you the best feeling? What smells are the nicest?' And he'd just be annoyed at all the questions, always her having questions, thinking she was using him as an experiment for her interests, not considering that they were born out of wanting to help him. Before taking up these extra hobbies, her main interests were the romance novels she'd read, learning new etiquette and perfecting it, polishing her lovely little hidden daggers, learning new tricks with her whip (it has jellyfish poison in it and barbed wire), and decorating/fixing her hive after these sessions (lol). Once she gets really into Equius I think she stops fixing it because she thinks she'll just move in with him. She made it pretty too, all things considered. She made the hive so big and elaborate because she was too excited when she was younger, but nowadays, she only frequents the same few halls. These are very lived in with glow in the dark stick-on trinkets used like lamps, vases filled with (paper) flowers, and ornate furniture she steals relocates from trolls that have died.

So, she keeps clinging to him with very clear intent, and it gets to a point where she confesses in a VERY roundabout way like,

'Aven't vve so gveat togethev? As the only tvvo that veally undevstand ouv positions! Couldn't vve... oh so easily slip into a... possible matespvitship? VVouldn't that be something?'

And Equius, confused and sweating just goes 'Oh... yes I suppose that could be a thing that could happen...' And that solidified it (wrongly) to her.

The whole idea she was born from came from the realization that Equius's tag for self shipping things contain mostly the more interesting combinations of lower/higher blood, and humans. Because those dynamics are what's interesting with him. And I thought, if he met someone actually on his level it would BORE him. He’d always be like 'This is fine. This SHOULD be fine. We are compatible in every way. Why ISN’T this fine??'

I got really into the dramatic thoughts of, despite them not OFFICIALLY CONSENTUALLY being together, him never telling her off from the idea and letting her believe they are (partly because he's trying to convince himself to like her, also because he's come to like her as a friend and does NOT want to hurt her feelings), his interest slipping noticeably into other people and especially his rambles about his dumb kinky thoughts eventually leads to her assuming, and I am PUTTING THIS IN QUOTATION MARKS, "he’s cheating on her" and she goes BALLISTIC. Needless to say, he breaks it to her as she explodes that… he never said yes to their relationship. It’s always been a sham. This. Will break her. She knew of his peculiarities but she was so sure he’d logically pick her, the best option there was! And yet… His heart clenches as she cries in front of him for the first time.

‘I hate you. I hate you for making me wish I had lower blood.'

Once the 'break up' occurs, she wears a black dress and veil for a good chunk of time because, in her words, "Vou don't like my outfit? I just decided it would be apvopviate fov the occasion. Vou see, I'M GVIEVING." *pathetic loud sobbing into a handkerchief*

Making her a Sagio means her focus is on the heart, ergo, on herself and her identity. So something that made her mad about learning the truth of his feelings was, she was so sure about the idea she built up over who she was... and his rejection shattered it to a million pieces. She started realizing more and more she’s not the troll she thought she was. She's not irresistibly beautiful, he left her. She's not collected and smart, she flies into fits of rage that leave her looking dumb. She doesn't have a certainly bright future, it's. In. Shambles. And more than any of her concerns for status-

She hadn't realized how much she actually liked him/depended on his love until he left. Neither of them did. Part of Equius not really taking her love seriously and seeing her as just a friend was how she talked about him to his face and how she would only bring up the 'pros to their relationship' so logically like social status and how they could support one another. Nothing much on the way of emotions, just made it sound like a business proposal if anything, albeit friendly. Nepeta, knew better. As his moiral, she got to talk to Ysalia a lot and the way she could endlessly praise him, see the good in everything he did even when it was stupid, wave off his 'quirks' as making him special, and idk, always bringing him up like a proud wife showing off her prized husband, it was annoying to the other trolls. Nepeta shipped it but stayed quiet and hoped for the best...

There’s a moment I think where Equius has his moment of realization that 'Oh. Maybe she DID really like me?' when Ysalia had 'given up', started her grieving and just moping, and had to work with a person of interest of his (I hesitate putting Aradia in this position, I’m so sorry Aradia hrrrg but you’re my best bet). Aradia says something, assuming about Equius, like how maybe he'd like them bringing back something that smells nice that could help him with a headache, but it’s the wrong thing and Ysalia stops. Ysalia had assumed this person had 'beat' her, because of her smarts. But she knows nothing about him. 'Lavender.' She chokes out. 'Lavender is his favorite scent. It the best for soothing him.' She gets very defensive suddenly, standing up from where she slumped. 'He likes to crush metal in his fist when he feels anxious, he prefers his milk cold but warm in the night after a nightmare, he doesn't feel like he deserves to touch soft things but he adores them.' She glares at Aradia. 'And he has a thing for forbidden romances. Things that can make him feel ashamed. But it's ok.' She walks away from her. 'This fad of his. I'll make sure it passes.' And all this was in some sort of comms he had installed on Aradia that he used to spy on her.

I have no ideas for what happens in the future, just her getting more and more out of control in her 'attempts to win him back.' I don't know what exactly they'd be but consider her as violent and getting more and more hilariously and pitiably delirious.

I cannot state this enough how adorably sad I’m picturing their scuffles. Equius genuinely likes her as a friend, holds her so close, almost like Nepeta. She never shunned him once, always listened to his infodumps, even actually retained the information he’d share, and was so encouraging to him whenever he’d falter. She was his biggest supporter in making his dreams come true too as an archer. So, it hurts seeing her cry. And it hurts seeing her sanity dissolve. He tries so hard to control his strength to just stopping her when she starts punching or kicking at someone, tries so hard to avoid hurting her even as others demand him to make her stop.

He started with his pity for her, trying to ignore her. Over time, without signs of her stopping, he begins getting annoyed. Then she catches him at the WORST TIME, and he gets ANGRY. He becomes careless with his actions, almost hurting her badly but she gets away with bruises. The look on her face as he almost crushed her has him feeling like shit for a while. When he's calmed down and is back to feeling pity, she surprises him in a moment of being so mad and deranged, she manages to get the better of him in a physical sense, actually finding a way to leave him powerless. Bound in the ground and unable to move. He's on the ground, wide eyes as she holds her heel to his chest, insulting him and going on about how he wasn't worth his blood. Needless to say, this was the first time he felt a lil something for her and it scares the fuck out of him. She's stopped by the others before she can kill him ‘to be rid of him once and for all’ but she promises she will. She hates him… This… is interesting to him.

Equius always saw her as his equal, and yeah it’s what bored him, but when she starts going full-on venomous, seething hatred on him.... he’s ashamed with how much he's sweating. This isn’t the friend he knew. he shouldn’t be enjoying this. Fuck. He should be trying to reconcile things. He should be telling her sorry again. No, he's not thinking about the way she dug her heel into him. Or the threat she whispered into his ear. And he definitely didn’t daydream about how she knows him so well she’d probably know how best to monopolize and bully him too if he was stuck in a hive with her as her husba- fuck shit what happened, he needs to stop he's pathetic.

Stuff happens, yada yada, it's a constant push and pull with some moments in between of them reminiscing their lost friendship, and idk how but I fabricated this scene where it all ends with her almost killing someone innocent. And after so much of his being careful around her, making excuses as to why the ones that hate her couldn’t get rid of her, and his fighting off ever having to actually fight back. He does.

He kills her. And her last words to him were accompanied by a laugh and a sputter. No accent. Just heartbreak. "You did it... haha….” She choked on her blood, some went past her lips. Still, she smiled.

"You broke my body and heart."

Oh, to give this boy more pain. Only once she’s gone does he accept that they could have been matesprites.

Some miscellaneous stuff:

- Ysalia putting out an entire table full of wine glasses out of nowhere in the middle of a battle to make fucking battle music because she refuses to fight out of spite so she'll just 'set the mood.'

- Eridan hates Ysalia. He saw her for what she was, a kiss-ass to higher blood, and he has no problem talking shit about her to her face. Even through being insulted, Ysalia would just smile and accept his harsh words like the dumbass sucker she is like o/vv/o 'Theyre talking about me hehe. I can’t believe I’m going to be friends with a sea-dweller!' His distinct hatred for her is hilarious to be because they’re in the same fucking boat. They’re idiots that were broken up with and their love interests got into trolls of lesser blood. It was such an insulting and humiliating experience for both of them. Even with his disdain, imagine moments where he drops his guard to shit talk about the others with her. He’d never admit it, but their catty talks and her sudden clinging to him once they’re both ‘outcasted’ by the others (and because there’s no one else worthy to talk to surely), they are friends.

- In a future where they reconcile and do live together, Equius is her bitch and loving every second of the 'married' life. Goes to work and his coworkers who don’t know him too well keep seeing the bruises on him and ask how he lets his matesprite of all trolls treat him like that and he just has the biggest dopiest face and replies 'They were my kismesis too'and that just explains it. This dude got together with his black romance. He’s clearly a freak. He's always glad to come home and see what new things Ysalia has to complain about, to see how many ways she can build him up with genuine affection only to tear him down and use him for the night.

Lineart of Ysalia's digital reference. She's my prim and fretful, cute Sagio troll 💙

[insertmesoftly]

Ok, thought I might as well post this first. These are sketches of my brainstorming a troll oc, Ysalia Noctil, that popped into my brain after we got to meeting Equius in me and my friend's reading of Homestuck. I have a typical big ass post detailing her story in the works but I've been skipping editing it to draw some stuff digitally instead. I'm not sure if I'll keep any of these hairstyles for her but they're all cute ❤

What I'll say now is she's a Sagio sign, on the same thread as Equius, as I got curious on exploring his dynamic to someone on the same level as him. Not above, not below. Exact same baybe. It's gonna be dramatic.
