Hello !!! My name is Gamz and this is a shrimple ask blog for my homestuck au!! I plan on developing this au into a mspfa in the future, though this ask blog has no connection to the plot in said future mspfa. This is just for fun as I continue to work on it!!
I am both the only one developing this au and running this ask blog, so please be patient with me!! I can be a little busy sometimes, so if I do not respond in a timely manner then that is why.
YES!!
Magical anons [as long as they dont last an absurdly long time]
Questions as a certain character [like if you were to ask tavros a question as like gamzee or smth for example i think thats fun!!!]
References to actual homestuck [sober gamzee, vriskas constant tweaking, beta kids [which might be added in fhe future....], etc]
Questions to me!! As in the creator
NO.
ANYTHING SEXUAL. THEYRE 13-14.
Ship questions [only if its clear youre trying to force it, idm a general question]
Generally freaky shit
INFO ^_^ !!
Altstuck is short for Alternativestuck. And alternative is referring to different alternative clothing and music styles! Each character has a different style, and does slightly differ in personality from their canon counterparts!!
DESIGNS HERE vvv
All of the beta trolls go to the same school, and live a little closer than they actually do in hs. They are also in their first year of highschool!!
Kind of a modern au :o? the exact time is never stated but nepeta is based off of 2020 alt so take that as you will!!
The alpha trolls along with the kids still don't have set in stone designs, but i am working on it ^_^!!!!
SPECIFIC CHARACTER INFO [UNDER THE CUT] vvv
[some do not have as much info as others for the time being as this au is still fairly new!!]
Aradia — Bigender , she / he , pansexual.
She's still dead [along w Terezi being blind, Tavros being in a wheelchair, blah blah blah]
People are aware of her being dead this time, though. Most of the trolls invested in ouija boards to communicate with her [she can still use computers, but she typically chooses not to]
Tavros — male , he / they , bisexual.
Though she does tend to be indifferent about most things, she does like to play into the fact that she is a ghost [both by dressing like one and the whole ouija board thing]
Still in the wheelchair
Actually a poser, says he listens to certain music while not ACTUALLY listening to it.
^ he actually listens to things like eminem and weezer though [which btw both are valid troll names?]
His style was mostly influenced by Rufioh, along with his friends shifting styles throughout the months. He finds them cool and wants to make himself look cool to boost his confidence, though its unclear if its working
Moving in with Equius [because of Rufioh and Horuss.]
Sollux — transmasc , he / they , bisexual.
Doesn't change a whole lot, though he's grown more reserved
Is very aware of how his friends are beginning to change [typically for the worst], and is attempting to steer clear of them
Going through a general down, as he feels intense guilt over the death of Aradia
Karkat — male , he / xe , bisexual.
Dresses "emo," but refuses to acknowledge that he is emo and will get offended if anyone refers to him as such
A bit more stand-offish than normal / more defensive
Closer to Eridan, helps with his relationship problems / writing his love songs, even if he finds it corny at times
Nepeta — agender , it / she / xe , bisexual.
Uses more internet terminology than usual, and is generally a bit more chronically online
Encouraging Equius to be more bold with his methods of self expression
Kandi maker / good with hair dye
Kanaya — female , she / it , lesbian.
A bit more moody, though its typically just for show to keep up her gothic persona
Made most of the others new clothes, including her own
Terezi — agender , any , pansexual.
Her outfits are usually crazy as fuck, since she wears whatever "tastes the best"
Will write red ink all over its arms and then lick it off, which has left countless ink smears on its skin
Very strange and odd, more than usual. It'd rather be viewed as some sort of creature [like a cryptid] rather than a troll
Vriska — trans girl , she / her , lesbian.
Unlike Eridan, she has already begun socially transitioning, though she feels that she does not belong with the other girls most of the time
Also more chronically online, and is active on tumblr [or grublr because i think thats better than bubblr or wtv], but spesifically on the side thats really fucking mean
BIG fan of riot grrrl
Equius — male , he / xe [? questioning] , bisexual
Incredibly awkward, even more than usual as he is adjusting to letting himself be more comfortable in "having fun" as Nepeta puts it
VERY self conscious, both because of his new attire [in fear of judgement] and because hes a zahhak which are all known to be FREAKS /lh
Gamzee — nonbinary , he / it , pansexual.
Actual juggalo hushh hushhhh this is an au
Still consumes sopor, though said sopor worked as a sort of gateway drug for Gamzee and lead him to discovering wtv the alternative equivalent for weed is [strange green foliage ???]
Despite living with Kurloz, Gamzee still rarely sees him and is typically on his own in the hive [since Kurloz is usually with meulin. Yes this is pre-incident]
Has slight beef with Tavros' music taste [w the whole eminem thing bcoz of the icp and eminem beef.......]
Eridan — "male" [questioning / closeted genderfluid] , any [only to karkat] he / him [everyone else] , bisexual.
Very unsure of himself, in the midst of an identity crisis
Somewhat aware of what she wants to be, though is reluctant to let the rest of her friends know about how she feels, both in fear of judgement and how her opinions and views could change the others just because she had them [shout out pesterquest]
Big into midwestern emo, writes her own shitty love songs and dreams of one day starting a band with the rest of her pals [but at the same time she would fucking hate to work with half of her friends in this way]
Feferi — female , she / her , pansexual.
Very excitable, though she dreads being queen more and more with each passing sweep. This isn't because she does not want to be queen, rather she is afraid that she will never be truly ready to handle that kind of responsibility
Tends to stress herself out alot, though she never brings it up to others in fear of bringing everyone's moods down with her venting
Feels like she is undeserving of all the privileges she was given in her life just for being a high blood
XTRA ^_^ !!
First im actually surprised if you read this far
And second, this is my first ask blog ever, so I am still figuring certain things out!! There is a loose plot beginning, though said plot is subject to change!! ╰(＾3＾)╯
Feel free to ask questions, and you shall receive an answer from yours truly Xo3 !!! BAIII (*＾3＾)/～♡
hii!! could you tell me what types of alternative each troll is? also i love ur art!
YES !! AND TYSMM (≧▽≦)
I originally planned on writing way more but I accidentally deleted my original explanation which really fucking sucks um
Anywho ill put these under a cut !!
Aradia — White goth, specifically when shes dead though. Trad goth for when she's alive, and cyber goth for when she's a robot [I'll make designs for those eventually]
Tavros — Emo, but in the way that he thinks emo is a clothing style instead of a music genre. He's also based off of Rufioh to show that he got inspo from him
Sollux — A sort of "idgaf" style, will wear whatever he can find but it typically comes off as alt to people who aren't alt, in the way that people get barked at for wearing black
Karkat — Emo, in the way that he knows it's a music genre but will crash the fuck out if he was ever called emo. His style is also just more on the chill side because he seems like the type to hate wearing jewelry
Nepeta — 2020 alt, both because I adore 2020 alt and because it's a reference to how people fanonize her. Originally I was going to make her scene but it just didn't feel right to me
Kanaya — Trad goth, since it just fits in my head. Her being a rainbow drinker and her general vibe just SCREAMED trad goth to me bro
Terezi — I'm not going to lie its based off of my own style in a way. It just wears whatever "tastes the best" which turns out to look crazy as fuck and is how I love to dress personally. She was another who I almost made scene but it just didn't feel right
Vriska — She doesn't have a label because she hates them, but she was made to look like she uses tumblr so take that how you will
Equius — Punk [for irony purposes], but it's more toned down since he's only recently begun to dress differently
Gamzee — His outfit was entirely based off of ICP shit, like his shirt is a reference to the jerseys !!
Eridan — He was originally intended to be emo considering he does listen to midwestern emo, but I chose instead to make his style more of an inbetween one. It's one that makes him feel comfortable while he continues to figure himself out
Feferi — Gyaru!!! Spesifically himegyaru. She was another one whos style was really obvious to me, and she was actually the first one I designed
Yes a lot of them don't have spesific labels, but to me I don't feel like alt NEEDS labels!!! Dress how you want!!! Make people stare!!! Have fun being you!!! Fuck it we BALL!!!
