Bug Au - Tumblr Posts
Asks
I'm... Begging. Please. Asks. Ask about Eldest and Youngest, ask about Unusual Brother, ask about my new bug au, ask about Reaper JD, Ask about my other oneshot fics on ao3. Please ask me things
I was re-watching trollstopia and Trolls:TBGO and realized how much of a geek Branch was with his engineering skills and stuff so does your John's (I forgot how many AU you made/co-parent) tease Branch about it?
Eldest definitely encourages it, getting Branch all the tools and stuff, Unusual Brother is probably gonna tease him, and Bug au is probably not going to tease him because he never really got to know Branch before so he doesn't want to like... ruin anything.
We never really questioned how did Clay or Floyd feel when they found out that JD came back for Branch
Also question for the moth Bois do they have night vision do their eyes glow like cats or are they like moth man Eldritch Creatures (I saw the drawings but I have not known about this au it looks adorable)
Clay was completely shocked that JD went back. He never really imagined JD would go back but when he stopped to think about it he realized how much JD was like dad. As for Floyd, he appreciated it greatly. Floyd went back only a few months after the escape leading to his extended grey period. AS FOR THE MOTH BOIS!!!! There's not a lout that's published about them yet to be honest. I have a google doc with the story and some basic facts, the drawings, and some picrews that actually started the whole idea. They're basically like little fairies but bugs. Their eyes sadly don't glow lol.
Do the moth Bois suffer when wet like the fairys in tinkerbells
They probably suffer a little bit, wet wings are heavy and hard to move so I imagine there's SOME trouble but definitely not like in Tinkerbell. They can fly but really slow and they like "stumble" in the air.
Bug AU
Did someone ask for Bug AU info dump? No? Too bad. So trolls in this au are usually 4-5 inches tall instead of 5-6 like regular trolls
Each tribe is a different type of bug. Pop are moths, Classical are crickets, Rock are wasps/bees, Funk are beetles, Techno are dragonflies, Country are spiders.
They're basically like little fairies? Kinda? Its like regular trolls but with bug features. Pop trolls for example, have antenna, wings, and are extra fluffy.
Pop trolls usually learn to actually fly (as opposed to gliding) around 13 so young trollings don't get hurt or in trouble.
Rock trolls have stingers instead of tail tufts.
Country trolls are spider centaurs.
Funk trolls are the biggest trolls.
Bergens in this au are reptilian and kept the pop trolls in a terrarium instead of a cage.
To keep trolls from escaping during Trollstice, Bergen's clipped their wings, involving punching a hole into each piece of the wing. Said hole never heals and it permanent in the case a troll manages to escape.
Pop trolls have different "roles" in their society. Builders, gatherers, (when in the village) scouts, and entertainers. Spruce, Floyd and Branch were entertainers.
Bug AU Piccrews that gave me the idea in the first place. https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/2249211 Link
Since most bugs have special eyes do all the trolls in the bug AU are near sighted or far sighted or they're just normal eyes
Not everyone in the bug au has eye problems. They're still a good chunk just regular troll but I will say that eye issues are more prevalent than before.
Question of the Bergens of the bug AU how often does that terrarium glass break and how often do they fix it
It doesn't really break because its a special kind of glass. The trolls have been working on a break in the glass for about 10 years and they're still chipping away at it.
Are the Bug Royalty taller then everyone like how the Queen bugs are?
They actually are! Royal bugs can be a good inch to inch and a half taller than anyone else.
Do the strings just work like lamps (or variety of lamps for the other tribes) since their big counter parts like that?
Not really. Yeah they glow more and they're usually displayed different in this au but they're still music strings.
How will Feral React to Moth Bois
He'd get along with thembut the minute they start flying he would chase the shit outta them and jump at them snapping at their feet. Playfully of course. Also they love when he glows.
Feral is @draco-after-dark
Does Nebula, Nova and Fern? (I think that's their mom's name) also exist in the Reaper and Bug AUs or they are just in Eldest universe
They do exist in Reaper Dory au, but not Bug Au. In the bug au their parents aren't around. Nebula is particularly important to Reaper Dory Lore :>
My AU's
Goofy post about all the Au's I have/coparent
Eldest and Youngest: John comes back to raise little Branch after Grandma dies. https://archiveofourown.org/works/52235974/chapters/132132889 and https://archiveofourown.org/works/53586511/chapters/135644155 Flower Au: An alternate version of Eldest and Youngest where John also takes in young Creek. Unusual Brother: John finds Creek after movie 1 Cocreated by @ijjstlostthegame https://archiveofourown.org/works/52791313/chapters/133523965 Naturally: John Dory but he's got kids and trauma and he's old https://archiveofourown.org/works/52625296/chapters/133113991 Dad JD au: An alternate version of Naturally where he has even more kids and a bit less trauma but a lot more grey hair.
Bug AU: An Au where JD and Clay are a team in the wild and Grey Spruce raised Floyd and Branch. Also they're moth fairies.
God AU: Brozone are gods and JD is very very very sad.
For the God AU what are the Bergens? God Eaters or like Hopeless Prophet's?
In the God AU I haven't really thought about it. Not all the trolls are gods so they're probably still just regular Bergens honestly. In the Bug AU, they're lizard-like :3
In the bug au
does floyd still get Captured by velvet?
And what kind of bug is ragetons/velvet and venner?
Does jd come back and bring one of the brothers with him? (like in EY au)
Yes he still gets captured by v&v
The Mount Rageons aren't bugs, I'm actually not sure what I want them to be yet. The Bergens are lizard like and the trolls are bugs. Maybe Velvet and Veneer could be frogs. I dunno yet.
JD doesn't come back. Theres no way for them to come back sadly. He raises Clay on his own on the move while Spruce raises Floyd and Branch.
