[bugs-in-situations]

hello and welcome to @cordycepsbian 's blog for bug fables au stuff! you'll see a lot of crossovers and roleswaps going on here

general art tags are "art in situations" and "art by others"

all the au tags (warning that there is A Lot because we have something wrong with us):

#everlasting primordia - roleswap au where the main characters are jaune, bit, and muse

#team snakemonsters - same basic story as canon but there's monster bugs, mostly explorers (featuring werebug kabbu, extra zombie leif, and phoenix vi)

#team snakemonsters^2 - an au of an au/roleswap with rotated monster types (feat. werebug leif, zombie vi, and phoenix kabbu)

#slug fables - bug fables characters and story imposed on the setting of rain world

#orb fables - bug fables characters and story imposed on the setting of the kirby series

#super paper bug - bug fables characters imposed on the story of super paper mario

#fish fables - the exact same story as canon except everyone is a Wet Beast (not necessarily fish) instead of a bug

#selkiebugs - selkie bugs. exactly what it says on the tin. includes both bf and hk but we talk about the bf side more

#hollow fables - our specific take on bug fables characters/story/setting merged with the characters/story/setting of hollow knight

#bugmeshi - bug fables characters and story imposed on the setting/lore of dungeon meshi. bug recipes pending

#slay the muse - leifmuse slay the princess. that's the whole summary

#species swap - a few characters are a different species and how that impacts the story (featuring wasp vi, roach leif, and leafbug kabbu)

#werebug cinematic universe - what it sounds like. there's more werewolf bugs now

#bug dragons cinematic universe - also what it sounds like, but it's more of a dragons + riders fantasy thing

so the original lore of selkiebugs: the hollow knight half of it was that the pale king had passed on selkie abilities to his children and some of his followers because he had the whole skin shedding thing going on but i think to incorporate silksong i'll make it so that all pale beings have this quality

so the weavers/pharloom also have selkies because of granny silk. silk selkies. silkies

and i think for lace... probably not a selkie but a natural shapeshifter. a lot of imposed restriction on what forms she can take though. or maybe something weirder like a pelt with nobody under it?? much to think about

[bugs-in-situations]

AHAHAHHA OH MY GOD SILKSONG DLC??? COMING 2026????

SELKIE BUGS REAL (the selkie bugs is a joke since that's one of your AU's but still, anyways have an amazing day)

i was literally thinking that... selkiebugs will be real in ten

we're still contemplating which skong characters would be selkies and what they would be there is much lore that needs reworking. putting hornet (fox) (famously not an aquatic animal) in the sea for now though

[bugs-in-situations]

more selkie hornet but she is in immense amounts of pain

[bugs-in-situations]

so who else remembered we had a fox selkie hornet because we just did

[stranglerfigpudding]

these cut silksong npcs are so cute why is nobody talking about them

days 2 + 3

[bugs-in-situations]

no context unless you instinctively understand but. muse with frogs we drew earlier

[bugs-in-situations]

saw box of crayons on the table and got possessed. we were eating a peanut butter jelly sandwich too. kindergarten spirits haunting our house

[bugs-in-situations]

yeah idk. natural endpoint of emphasizing her sliminess

[bugs-in-situations]

some vessel vi because weve been watching hk streams

[bugs-in-situations]

we need to figure out a very specific timeline before we can elaborate too much on bfe kabbu's deal but he's still alive and fine (debatably) he didn't get eaten or anything

[bugs-in-situations]

got new au idea basic summary is "team snakemouth each travels back in time to talk to their past self and 'fix' the trajectory of their lives but this just has really weird knock-on consequences instead". due to the elaborate butterfly effect going on vi is now part of the wasp kingdom and leif and muse Both got cordyceps. normal world normal timeline

day 12: we didn't have any ideas that were actually related to the prompt. does dungeon meshi au work for the food related prompt anyway (leafbug ninja, broodmother, and ahoneynation)
