Its one of the boyfriends!
I don't know why this one took so long but over thought it.
I could be more thorough on his whole outfit but Please. just take it.
How's pixy cut Roxanne and her human been since the spell, and how were they doing before that?
Oh those two are doing surprisingly well!
They booked it far away from their hometown, making it to a bustling seaside city.
On their travels they met a few special individuals who will be important later. But they did a lot of traveling before they eventually met a kindly old man who owns a machine shop. The two were allowed to stay in an apartment on the property. They stayed for a long time learning to work on various vehicles and use heavy equipment and machinery.
They eventually move on from that job and that city, but we're gifted two motorcycles to make their travels easier.
They're gonna show up and play important roles in the future. :)
He's Neptunes little emotional support ball of puff. An unfortunate dimensional portal snafu at Moon Haven sent this Floof onto Neptunes ship.
While Neptune was originally just going to hit him with a rolled up magazine, as Fluffleton is about the size of a hamster, the bugs cuteness won the Golden Spear over. This little guy is simply one of the cutest Floofs in existence... And he knows it.
...he also drives Pluto literally insane...
Pluto hates this bug with a passion. With Fluffleton usually able to out maneuver him and escape Pluto's MANY attempts to kill him. So... The little bug has developed a deep hatred of the brat.
And he torments Pluto and looks innocent about it when he does so...
Still, as much as Fluffleton cares deeply about his 'Shiny Tall Friend' currently he's just relaxing at Neptunes home with his wife and daughter. With Aethusa loving to play with him and the two even building little things together.
Like this!!!
It's made out of cardboard, tape, a robot lawnmower and a roomba. It fires Bean Bags and some bean-filled toys.
He's a surprising little menace in the tank. But he's so cute he can get away with it LOL.
(This is the dumbest drawing I ever made but I was laughing the whole time I made it 🤣)
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh my God dude you nailed it!!! They sound perfect! Exactly how I imagined! 🤩
They sound so cute and with how they scurry around, acting like misbehaving kittens, it's easy to see why so many people buy them. Thinking they're just cute and fun... Until they start coming at people with forks and knives with the intent to cause injury.
...they're still bad, but these are probably some of the best things I have ever made...
I have never actually posted some TEASS based fanart. Thought maybe I should post my variation of Neptunes wife out there... Her name is Salacia.
And their cute little baby girl. A little 3 year old named Aethusa or Aethy for short.
...Neptunes sisters are gonna kill him for not mentioning he's a dad...
Still, I will post a little background on the background I have for them below, because I can't not make a story to go with things. I will attempt to keep it short... Attempt being the main word here...
Salacia is the Imperial Princess of her race, a space faring people known as the 'Vis Vitalis.'
Her people are known for several unusual traits, the first being the most cosmetic. They have skin like pearls. Beautiful, pristine and oddly radiant and can seemingly shine in different hues. Their skin colors range from whites to soft pink to light blues to greys and even inky black.
The next thing they're known for is their ability to generate, control and manipulate energy. Which is, as they describe, the energy of their souls. It differs in color and structure for every individual and they use this ability to power their world. With a particularly powerful individual able to power an entire spaceship by themselves. A common manifestation of this power is a form of glowing, shimmering wings that appear from an individuals back. These wings can detach and appear around other beings or items to get them out of the way, or catch them if they're falling. This power usually manifests from a very young age but isn't truly mastered until adulthood.
Additionally, the Vis Vitalis are known to wear a lot of crystal jewelry. Aside from it being cosmetically pleasing, this is because they can infuse the crystals with their energy and turn them into bullets or grenades...
Their final trait is that the species is very genetically volatile... In other words they can interbreed with other sentient species and the children will always be whatever the other parent is and not a Vis Vitalis, though may show some cosmetic traits from that parent...
But the child of the union will possess the energy manipulation power of Vis Vitalis parent... And the energy manipulation will continue in the bloodline going forward.
...And that's exactly why they were conquered...
The Grand Celestial was very aware of this races abilities and then he ordered Neptune to conquer them. The result was a bloody war that lasted two years with Neptunes forces overwhelming the Vis Vitalis army.
To summarize this without going into too much detail... Salacia knowing her people and her father, the King, weren't going to be able to defeat Neptune she offered herself to stop the carnage. Something that was accepted because it ultimately gave the Grand Celestial what he wanted...
The power of the Vis Vitalis in his bloodline...
.
Their marriage didn't start out with love...
It was a marriage to stop a slaughter. Her people were strong, but the might of Neptunes army would have crushed their defenses completely and reduced her people to little more than slaves. Which Salacia wasn't about to let happen... So the marriage was the only option. It allowed the Vis Vitalis to keep the majority of their civilization and culture, even though they were now technically under the rule of Neptune.
Neither were happy about it. Salacias father had to be physically held back by her brothers from attacking Neptune during the ceremony... Still the wedding happened and the awkward 'Getting to know each other' phase came afterwards. It wasn't exactly going well with neither actually sure how to interact with the other. Until one night when Salacia, stressed out, slipped away to the kitchens to sneak Chocolate Mousse Ice Cream... Thought she heard someone coming, slipped away into a pantry.
Only to find her new husband in the dark, eating frosting straight out of the container...
Funny how sugar and stress broke the ice between these two for real... Turns out the two had a fondness for sweets and they actually talked things out honestly amidst eating ice cream and Salacia getting Neptune some cookies to dunk in the frosting. Both acknowledging that the situation was ...not ideal... But, maybe it didn't have to be such a nightmare.
Over time they literally went from a political marriage to one that's genuinely loving... With Salacia eventually stating:
"If we hadn't started things out the way we had and we'd just met as you and me, I would still fall in love with you. Just as I will continue to do every day until the day I die."
"I won't love you until the day you die, I will love you much, much longer than that."
They've become outright sappy with each other...
.
And of course, they ended up having a little girl together... Salacia broke Neps arm in two places when she was in labor and Neptune did faint once during the birth. But this man loves his daughter and is actually a really great dad.
There are however some... unexpected difficulties... having a baby that can somewhat fly when you can't...
Neptune: (Looking at his 2 year old daughter in a huge tree) How'd you get up there?!
Aethy: I flew!
Neptune: And you can't get down?
Aethy: No....😭
Neptune: (Sighs) All right, hang on. I've gotta go get a ladder...
.
Aaaaand there is the completely understandable fact that Neptunes Father-in-law absolutely HATES him. Addressing him only as 'You...' when visiting. If not completely ignoring him. Though his two Brother-in-laws have seemingly started to accept him more as they can see that their sister genuinely loves her husband. But there's still a massive amount of distrust between them.
That being said the old King, Haakon, may hate Neptune, but he dearly loves his granddaughter. Regardless of her not being his species... He is quite protective of her.
Salacia only told him once to never talk ill of Neptune to their daughter. If he ever did, he'd lose Grandpa-time... and he could tell she meant it. So he promised he never would speak of her father negatively... or at all if he can help it... and he's honored that promise ever since.
The Grand Celestial is aware of Aethusas existence, but they've never met. Something Neptune is actually relieved about. As much as his FIL hates him, he's a great grandfather. Neptune doesn't have to worry about him mistreating his daughter... But that would definitely not be the case with his own father.
He's actually grateful for his Father-in-law and his protectiveness towards Salacia and his granddaughter. If he had his way the Grand Celestial wouldn't ever meet her... And he wouldn't have to leave as frequently as he has too.
Neptune is also grateful that his beloved pet Floof, General Fluffleton, has also become extremely protective of Aethy too, while at the same time driving Pluto absolutely batshit insane... But that's a story for another day.

(I said I would try to keep this short if I could... Unfortunately this is about as short as I could keep it. 😅)
So how does the structure of the blood moon tribes work? like hierarchy.
And how did they handle children coming into the picture? Did that change their hierarchy / family Dynamics too much?
Since before whenever a new family member was added to the family it was because someone went out there and was like " you're mine now"
Also how good of a parent is a blood Moon normally to newborns?
This is probably my favorite ask so far :)
To put it simply, the Bloodmoon Tribes Hierarchy is a very simple thing, that's probably why it works so well.
The Seven Tribes are individually ruled by their Chieftains. Who were the most respected members of their groups. The Chieftains rose to their positions by keeping their fellow Bloodmoons and their humans safe, fed and alive against adversity. They became the leaders through their actions and are deeply respected. Their word is law in their own Tribe, yet they have no power over the other Tribes.
Each Chieftain either has, or is supposed to have, a 'Second' who is their second-in-command. Should the Chieftain not be available for whatever reason, the Second handles things for them. But when the Second is not fulfilling that role, they are treated as a normal Bloodmoon in their Tribe.
...just like the few dragons that have ended up living with them...
Because several of the dragons that had escaped ended up near the Bloodmoon Tribes and as it would turn out, they were allowed to stay in their lands. Where their numbers are already starting to increase...
Anyway... while the Chieftains only have authority in their own Tribes, Broken rules them all. His word supercedes the Chieftains; at some point in the past Broken had met each of the different Tribes and although none of them could actually talk except for Broken... There was enough communication for an arrangement to be made with each group.
Broken restores them to their normal size, they heed his war call when the time comes. Which they all did... But after everything, the Tribes loyalty to Broken didn't waver. So he became the King more officially. His word is law for all Tribes.
There is only one Chieftain who actively challenges Broken and is hostile towards him. That would be the Chieftain of the Coastal Tribe... Yet in spite of this, both he and his Tribe still follow Brokens laws. Although this particular Chieftain fits more with the Bloodmoon stereotype of really hating being told what to do. His Tribe on the other hand respects and has a positive view of their King.
It should be noted that one of Brokens responsibilities, as the King, is he needs to settle disputes between Tribes should the need arise. Unfortunately for the Great Beast, there are two Tribes that despise each other...
The Light and Night Tribes...
These two groups frequently clash over hunting grounds, general disagreements and perceived disrespect, a mine full of unnatural crystals that both groups are fighting for control of... and pretty much a slew of other borderline ridiculous slights. Although Broken does believe in them trying to resolve things themselves (Otherwise he'd be there every other day...) There was one particular incident that he immediately had to meditate...
That was the time that one member of the Night Tribe snuck into the dwelling of some Day Tribe members and stole a newborn Night...
It was meant as a prank... unfortunately most Nights have been through trauma and horrors that would make them go off the rails should something like this happen. So Light Tribe was completely ready to go to war-
This was only stopped by the actions of one member of Light Tribe, an elder man named Bjorn, who called Broken to prevent an all out slaughter from happening. (Inter-Tribe communications occur through specialized HAM Radios.) And Broken hauled ass to get there as fast as possible.
He arrived at twilight and summoned the two Tribes to a midway point between their villages... The Bloodmoon who had stolen the child stepped forth, still holding the baby and returned it to the parents. The little one was perfectly fine and this Bloodmoon lamented that it was only supposed to be a joke... And even with the hostility between the Tribes, Night Tribe had all agreed that he had crossed a massive line.
Still, Broken ruled on the punishment. Ordering this idiot Bloodmoon to enter his durable Nightmare Form... And then he allowed the affected family, the mother, the father and the two Bloodmoons of these Nights...
To completely beat the ever living hell out of him...
Which they did...
Broken only commanded them to stop before this other foolish Bloodmoon was killed/permanently maimed. Although he would forever bear a huge X shaped scar on his chest from this incident and he unintentionally earned a unique name...
Fool...
Still as one can imagine, this incident only made the two Tribes hate each other more.
But that also brings us to the latter part of the question; how good of parents are Bloodmoons with newborns? The answer is they're surprisingly good at it.
Bloodmoons may be dense and not as bright as other bots, but they can understand the need to take care of their young. It's mostly a primitive, animalistic instinct that ended up in their coding. They're very attentive to their newborns. Whether that's a baby Bloodmoon, or a baby Night.
To them, it's just taking care of the family that they've chosen. They do make mistakes, but fortunately there's no sort of problem for them to ask questions to other Tribal members if they don't understand something or if they think they're doing something wrong.
This is currently going on with Broken and his own adopted daughter.
.
I think that should properly sum it up, this was a very fun ask I love talking about this AU so much. :D
I gotta say, I like the new body. The art is cute, I especially like the little Saturn on the hats tail. That's a nice little touch.
That being said, my initial feelings about it are good but I really wanna actually see the new body in action before I make my final judgement on it. But it gave one hell of a first impression! :D
Honestly I am NOT great at making my own plush, I only ever had a few that I have ever truly been happy with. But Carmine came out pretty good. I wanted to put some stars on his hat and embroider some stripes on his pants... Unfortunately my embroidery machine wasn't feeling good and those little tasks just brought on more headaches. So they got left out...
Currently the only things I have left to do are put little pink pom poms on his shoes and attach the moon bubble onto his tail.
Sooo how is the Monty human hybrid child, dose Andy enjoy being a big brother?
Sorry for the delay in answering, but yes, the little hybrid child is doing great!
His name is Gustav, or just Gus, he was named after the legendary crocodile famous for his immense size but also his reputation as a man-eater.
(Both of his parents like the bit of Dark Humor surrounding his name)
As he ages, it's obvious that Gus is a sweet little guy, but he's very shy around anyone who isn't his parents, or brother. He's almost always seen holding Andy's hand if they're out on public and rarely ever talks.
He looks mostly like his father but he doesn't have a mohawk, he has a very unruly mop of brown hair, like his mother. Also sporting heterochromia like his brother and mother. Only with him its one eye red and the other green. He also sports the exaggerated fangs like his father.
The Monty that's his father is pretty distinct looking with his garb looking black and green and more reminiscent of a soldier. His mowhawk is much longer and thicker and the two fangs in the front of his mouth are a bit longer than average. Likewise he seems to have a lot more teeth in his maw than most other Montys. This guy looks very intimidating which is appropriate because he runs his own mercenary agency. He's one tough bastard.
But he's a very loving dad to both Andy and Gus and a fantastic husband. Even if his work does take him away from his family more than he would prefer. He still manages to be there for the big things.
Andy for his part, loves his little brother and is protective as hell of him. He takes his father's words to heart 'A man protects his family.' And thus he makes sure nobody messes with his bro.
Andy's relationship with his bio father remains deeply strained if not borderline non-existent. Drew being pissed beyond words that his ex moved on 'With a Fucking Robot Toy' and often ranting about his disdain... The one time he called Gus a little mutant freak Andy coldly shut it down. Earning him a grounding for the remainder of his visit with his bio dad.
Drew hasn't even noticed his own kid is calling him by his first name instead of dad for months at this point...
(But yeah I think that's about all I could think of regarding this, hope that answered it well :)
Aw question, can the animatronics still use electricity to charge or are they strictly only getting power from sleep and food now.
Also, do they need to consume metal when pregnant so there body has raw material to make the baby with? And if so, do Humans pregnant with a hybrid have to do something similar as well?
Another great question :)
In short, yes, animatronics do still charge with Electricity. Although even when they were Beans they could keep their batteries at least partially charged with food and solar energy. It was a truly brilliant system that the original creator of the animatronics came up with. Using a special type of gut nanite that breaks down literally anything an animatronic eats (Accept Plastic oddly enough... A bot will almost always puke up plastic or need to have it removed by a mechanic) and converts that energy to chemical energy to charge the animatronics heavy duty batteries.
Bloodmoons are a unique case, due to most of them living outside or away from humans and other animatronics, most don't have access to electricity to charge. This is offset by the 'Nightmare Power' Broken let loose. Which constantly surrounds their species and helps keeps their batteries charged. They can consciously use it to refill their batteries when needed. They're the only animatronics that don't NEED to charge via electricity. But they can choose to do so every now and again if they find the option available.
Upon returning to their true sizes, the animatronics still keep the gut nanites, but due to Brokens spell somehow creating things in a surprisingly realistic way, they now have reproductive nanites that serve their own obvious purpose. Each are coded with mechanical-based genetics eventually labeled as CNA or Cyber Nucleaic Acid, a genetic blueprint for animatronics to reproduce.
In the process of pregnancy for a bot, they don't get as proportionally as large as a pregnant human, though it's still pretty obvious they're pregnant. This is because their bodies aren't meant to stretch like that and thus animatronic newborns are a little smaller than a newborn human.
Yes they do get cravings, usually for a mix of food and metal shavings which are easiest to digest and incorporate into the construction of the offspring. If they ignore these cravings and strictly charge off electricity, their bodies will leech metals from their frames and use it to construct the fetus, usually to great injury to the parent.
In the case of hybrids and the human parent is carrying yes they get massive cravings, specifically for iron-rich foods and they need to take a literal truckload of prenatal vitamins, lest the leeching of nutrients from organic tissue cause irreversible damage.
There's actually a pretty obvious difference internally between a hybrid child and a straight animatronic child. The hybrid has fleshy/metallic internal structures rather then fans or pumps and pistons and they can seem a little bit squishier in general. But as they age, the mechanical part gradually replaced all the fleshier bits until all of the internal structures are completely metal. Although they remain completely different in structure from a pure animatronic. Such as having a metallic heart for example.
Hybrids can survive if their internals get damaged, though they are not quite as durable as a straight animatronic. But they are far more durable then humans are...
(I think this is the most comprehensive answer I can give on this subject overall, hope that it cleared everything up :)
