BBU Swap!!

Swap AU of the indie video game Billie Bust Up! This blog will contain art for the time being and just general AU content! (Characters are NOT mine, they belong to Billie Bust Up and these are simply AU versions)

[bbuswapau]

============================= Welcome to the Billie Bust Up Swap AU! =============================

This is an alternative universe of the indie video game Billie Bust Up where most of the characters are role swapped with just a few exceptions! This is mainly just a silly little blog to throw art at and hopefully grow this AU the more time goes on.

----- Plot -----

There's not much of a story yet, but the basic context of how this AU works is that Billie, now an axolotl, lives in the small goat town with Arthur as her father. She runs along on adventures much to his dismay and meets many familiar faces in different roles. She meets Barnaby who is a wooden statue in this AU and brings him home since he had been trapped in his mansion for so long all while being chased by Fantoccio the ghost.

(Will be updated as time goes on) Billie Arthur Aristotle Barnaby Fanto Dutch Elaine Lily & Lewis

Asks are always open unless explicitly stated and I hope you have a wonderful time here! <3

Working on drawing requests but here’s a doodle I made a couple of months ago! My style has DRASTICALLY changed since I started this AU and I wanted to see how Elaine would look in my new style. Mainly just a bad doodle but I felt I should share it!

[bbuswapau]

Drawing requests?

I'm trying to come up with a Dimitri design at the moment and while I do I really want to draw some AU characters. All of the reference sheets I have are about 2 years old now and my style has developed a lot and I want to draw some characters but I don't know where to start!!! That being said feel free to drop some drawing requests and I can doodle some and get the blood flowing! I've been wanting to do more with the AU! Feel free to ask for existing AU characters, new designs, ships, interactions and dynamics, anything that isn't nsfw or morally gross!

[bbuswapau]

Hello :D

Can I draw your AU of the bbu characters? pleaseeee?

Yes absolutely!! I am all for people making art of my AU, it genuinely makes me so happy!

[bbuswapau]

Swap Fanto got a little redesign!! Blessed with a mouth

Who runs the Barnaby twitter account

Barnaby

[bbuswapau]

if Belle and dimitri are swapped does that make Dimitri billie's mom?

i jest of course but it's a funny thought

I'm actually working on the art for Dimitri rn but in this AU since Billie lives with Arthur as father and child, Dimitri does not take a fully parental role! However, he still knows her and Arthur well!!

This is the point where I take some creative liberties with relationships and such as I like to imagine Dimitri was either a very good friend of Aristotle and Arthur back in the day or possibly an old relationship of Aristotle's (I'm an Aristotle, Arthur, Dimitri poly ship truther so we will see what I land on). However I like to imagine in this story he takes more of the role of a tired babysitter who is very friendly with Arthur and will help him keep Billie under control a lot of the time! Over all he's very much a good family friend who is exhausted all the time hehehe

[bbuswapau]

I'm so sorry if this is a dumb question but can you tell me who has the blue gem it looks like Arthur but it might not since this is a swap au

No dumb questions here!! I'll be honest I really don't know rn! We don't know a whole lot about the blue gem in canon so I haven't been able to pin anything down, I made Arthur blue in the pinned tweet art just to round out the colors teehee

[bbuswapau]

i just wanted to say that i think your swap au belle is really hot okay bye

She thanks you and absolutely knows it

[bbuswapau]

au percy and scrimshaw?

Here they are!

They take on quite different roles compared to their canon counterparts, both working in the hotel run by Elaine! Percy is meant to be swapped with Hayes, though he takes on the role more of being the customer service manager, though he does work closer to Elaine than some others. Scrimshaw on the other hand is Basile's swap, running the bar and lounge area on the uppermost floor of the hotel. Both know each other very well, you'll often find them relaxing around with one another during their off time. Though, feelings could be more than just friendship. Additional note: As you can tell, all uniforms for the hotel display some kind of fish bones imagery on them! But they can change based on the clothing or role.

Here are the roles: Eve with Ivy’s role Ivy with Eve’s role Evenette with Evanilla’s role

Evanilla with Evenette’s role

Evevolla with Evannie’s role

Hope ya'lls holidays will be filled with lots of love!! Sorry for the lack up uploads on this account, I'm working on a lot but please take some nice Arthurstotle for now <33

can you draw Z ?

I am guessing this is Z?

[bbuswapau]

Swap AU! Lily and Lewis! Billie's best friends in the goat town she's growing up in! Being a fish out of water in the town, their friendship means more than anything to her and they do pretty much anything together. Lily is fairly outspoken, more rule oriented, and stubborn while Lewis is quiet, a pushover and tends to follow along without much question. Despite their differences, as a trio, they can do anything!

Like father like daughter! Some decently old sketches of Arthur and Billie, I accidently did them in similar poses and I'm choosing to say it was intentional

[bbuswapau]

who killed aristotle in this au? is it still fantoccio?

Aristotle was killed in an accident regarding some haywire magic! No one directly had anything to do with the death other than himself, though Arthur was also there as shown by some scars on the left side of his body.
