hi yall :] wanted to make a separate blog specifically for au stuff [ main is @underratedgrapeju1ce ] so here we are. if i end up writing it on ao3, ill post chapter updates here, as well as art and stuff.

ask box is open for any questions or comments, but make sure to be nice. general kindness rules apply, and no nsfw asks.

me and oomf emmet are gonna be running the blog and posting stuff! we'll each have our own tag/signoff [ #emmet 😈 ] [ #grape 🎭 ] so you'll know who's who.

last thing, this is a blog for the au, but some general GOBB art might get posted now and again. au stuff will be tagged accordingly. [ #au post 🎪 ]

happy scrolling :]

edit: adding the lore doc here for ease of access!

GOBB Rewrite: Pitch Document

“A jaded sanitation worker is tasked with inspecting the collapsed remains of Banban’s Kindergarten, only to find herself trapped undergroun

Since Flumbo wasnt meant to exist (before BanBan needed to be replaced) does that mean he doesn’t exist in the show ?

Yup! Flumbo doesn't exist in the show because Flumbo is Uthman's fan character/ OC for Banban's circus in the AU.

Is it okay to use the art as pfp on other stuff? With credits ofc

Both of us are okay with that as long as credit is given yeah!

Toadster and Iris from @banban-rewritten when younger (maybe)

I lov them🥹

THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD

Is banban meant to be a beautiful trans woman in the banleena posts 👀

In my hearts of hearts Banban is a beautiful trans-lesbian to me. Though really he wasn't really raised with the concept of gender so he's just Banban to himself. Leena was also a pretty direct trans-allegory in the show as well! As direct as one could get for a show in the 90's for children, at least.

Happy Pride Month :) !

Are the other characters going to get 3D models aswell like Bittergiggle and Banban?

Ideally yes! But it mainly relies on my motivation and time I have. Bittergiggle's model is planned to get remade in the future too because it is no longer up to my standards.

Sorry for my annoying nature... But I really want to know where the sheriff's father is. I can't get this thought out of my head...

toadster's dad died when he was still a kid. they had very similar illnesses, but toadster was able to survive it while his father wasnt

[banban-rewritten]

Can I ask the annoying toad a question?

Does every character in the series have a family and parents?

they do! as of right now, dadadoo and bouncelia are the least developed in terms of parents and family, but we're operating under the assumption that pretty much every character comes from a family. whether theyre blood related like toadster and his family, or adopted like bittergiggle and bouncelia

[banban-rewritten]

what was Nadia eating/drinking while being in the kindergarten?

she isnt! thats partially why she starts getting suspicions about how shes alive after the elevator collapse, but she writes it off as adrenaline and her body being in survival mode, or shes dead and this is some weird purgatory. its not until she gets hit and starts bleeding that the reality of the situation sets in

I love how your Au takes place in Nj! As a New Jersey person and that’s where my banban Au also takes place it feels nice to have that representation! Also your art is amazing!

as a fellow jersey person, i prefer to write what i know. and i know that garten of banban taking place in new jersey would be the 3rd most insane thing to happen here

[banban-rewritten]

Out of all your Garten of BanBan AU designs,

which one is your most favorite?

its a tough competition, because on one hand, banban and toadster have been the same since i first joined the fandom, so i mustve done something right. on the other hand, i worked very hard to perfect bittergiggle and syringeons designs, so theres a lot of thought put into them

i think of the non-canon characters, the sun king's design is my favorite, and out of the main canon cast, i'd have to say bittergiggle

[banban-rewritten]

If I'm not mistaken, Banbaleena is a moth, right? And if so, what species of moth were they inspired by?

she is! she's inspired by rosy maple moths :D

[banban-rewritten]

I love your art so much (fallower of your main and AU) and I wonder how you do the VHS filter on your art showing the Banban TV show? I want to use the filter for some Oc art of my own

its this program! it has a web and downloadable version and its super easy to work with

I want to know more about Toadster's family, if it's ok! It's one of my favorite stuff I love drawing them🥹

a few fun facts off the top of my head!

Iris, ivy and lavender had to get jobs very young to help take care of toadster and their dad bc of their illness

toadsters first name is oliver! his family calls him ollie, and bittergiggle teases him about it when he finds out. "toadster" is the family's last name

iris is a knight in a neighboring kingdom separate from bouncelia's. she has a crush on the princess

ivy made toadsters throwing stars for him

toadster still has his tadpole tale because of stunted growth and being so sick when he was little

iris and toadster fought and argued a LOT when he still lived at home. both of them are insanely stubborn and butt heads constantly

toadsters illness is fictional, but the closest real life equivalent would probably be celiac disease and epilepsy

marigold shares her big brothers temper, but instead of lashing out or yelling she'll give people the silent treatment

toadster and mari's encounter with the moon beast affects mari's health in a similar way to toadsters when he was young, so in the 2010s spinoff, in her grown-up design she has a little bit of her tadpole tail

[banban-rewritten]

(Totally not the same guy that asked about trans sheriff..trust) I was also wondering about his family, I wanted to know if Matilda is his mom, and if Ivy, Marigold and Lavender are his sisters or something (except for Iris since I already know she is)

Btw I love this au ok, I'am indeed hyperfixating on it...🥹

guess whos back. back again. grape's back. tell a friend.

OK YEAH I LOGGED BACK ON FOR THE TOADSTER FAMILY QUESTIONS EBCAUSE I LOVE THEM. you hit the nail on the head! matilda is his mom, iris is the oldest sibling, then ivy, toadster and lavender are twins, and marigold is the youngest!
