I was planning on making another video where I talk about each pic.. I actually made the video, but it got a bit long, though not as long as the update post, but it still felt like too much... so I decided to just write something as usual instead!
But if you'd like a video format for this in the future let me know, it will be all censored if I post it on youtube though haha. 

The first pic "09_interesting" was an accident where Tekki was already posed but the body reverted to it's original position. I thought the hair looked cute, like a lion's mane, also the headband looked interesting on the side like that, and the eye looked cute on the first pic.

"09_TekkiIco" I made this to change the icon of the folder that has all the files related to the Tekki model! I included the .Ico file as well in case you want to use it too for anything haha.

The next 3 pics + "09-12a1, 09-12a2, 09-15a1, 09-15a2", and the last 4 are all related to the commission test for SIGFigures! The first 2 are sketches regarding another option, we didn't go with that one but I really wanted to at least draw one of the ladies! The ladies on "09-02b2" are Leryrth and Lythrana. The Maned Fox lady is Camilla, The Saber Cat dude is Mateo! And you can see pics from the thumbnail to the sketches [after using a 3D base], face options, and the finished piece!

09-05a1 - Some goth dude lol, I keep feeling nostalgic about edgy, early 2000's looks...

09-06a2 - Tentabulge ideas.. The previous sketch I wanted to see how it would look if there was a hole towards the base instead of at the tip... but I didn't really like it.
Actually.. I would like to take a moment to talk a bit about how I really prefer when parts that show a bit of the inside [like the mouth or the nook] as well as nipples and lips, I prefer when they are dark gray/black, instead of the troll's blood color?
Also for the bulge, I really like the idea of the base of the bulge starting to show a bit of blood color. I've had this thought where... it would be kind of boring if a Highblood for example wanted to look at an anonblood's true bloodcolor and all they had to do was make them open their mouth or lift their shirt or peek at their nook. How creepy/humiliating it would be if instead they had to either draw blood or.. yank their bulge pretty far out in order to see the blood color... it's a bit gross lol, but I liked the thought...
[Ah but now that I think about it... the iris is supposed to fill with their blood color anyway... I've always like the idea of their iris staying gray though... oh well...]

09-06a3 - 09-12a1_jaw - 09-18a1 - 3D notes/Ideas.

09-28a05 - I think I finally got Edeana's dancestor! I started by drawing on my sketchbook and decided to redraw one of the sketches digitally. Then I just started making changes little by little. I might change her outfit but I am really happy with how she turned out and the vibe she gives! Also a happy accident: Edeana has choppy straight hair at the front, and spiky messy hair at the back. Her dancestor, Eredel, has spiky messy hair on the front and choppy straight hair on the back! Thoguht that was kind of fun!

09-28a06 - And the final drawing is an idea for Nogade's dancestor. But I'm not very happy with it... I like the drawing but I don't know if that's her! I don't even know if I want that vibe for her, like punkish or rock metal or something like that. I thought it would be fun to do something more unrestrained and a bit scary in comparison to Nogade, but I'm thinking it might be a lot since I have another punk-ish character [Blauka, Roodke's dancestor]... I'll keep experimenting..!

RE Fluids: I _originally_ thought same-as-in-color, but then I got to thinking they could be pretty different between land and sea dwellers, and then I figured it might be different based on other characteristics of the caste as well. Like. What Jade bloods fluoresce under the light of the uh...the glowing fungus they reference in the brooding caverns. Or like, what if sea-dwellers is water-resistant (like it doesn't dissolve as easily, or is gel-like or some such), etc. RE Pine Ginger GIF: Oooh, that gif is _INTERESTING_ now I'm wondering if you had a swelling of the bulge and contractions of the nook is what squeezes the fluids out for the pail...could make for some interesting solo play or milking with that kind of system. 🤩 RE Shame Globes: Nothing wrong with more girth! Though...maybe that could work too. Like, if they're more like knots on animals or such, internal/hidden/non-visible at first, then potentially visible/playing-a-part in pailing later. Would change the whole idea of getting hit in the shame globes if that only happened when one was pailing. Iunno, I have no idea why I even remembered them as a thing, other than I used to keep notes about Alternian slang for RP stuff. XD -------- You did draw one of them ya, actually both of those you referenced you drew. The one with Povera and Porosi is a colored piece, and then the other with the kitten is a different AU. That one is a whole big thing, ha. The ultra short version of that AU is that time is shifted slightly, so she runs into Povera and Lycosa sooner, and she's flushed/caliginous for Lycosa (it vacillates) and flushed/pale for Povera, while Lycosa is also flushed/pale for Povera (and shares the black/red for Porosi), and the three of them are kinda figuring out this whole thing when Aguera kills Povera. Lycosa, in a rage, kills him, and Porosi has Pyralspite burn his fleet to help cover it up, but they kind of take their grief out on each other, and eventually Porosi is sent out to capture Lycosa (by the Condesce) and she...hesitates. Like, at first she plans to let Lycosa kill her, Pyralspite kills Lycosa, and there you go, no one is tortured by the Condesce (Matsya, in case you were wondering her name in my AUs). But she can't do it, and Lycosa can't do it, so she ends up taking her in. As in canon, Lycosa escapes, and has the crowd hang Porosi, but this time Pyralspite is just outside, so she burns down the crowd and saves Porosi. Lycosa, meanwhile, is hiding in the brooding caverns, and she steals some eggs Povera had marked out (as she had been tracking and keeping aside the slurry from Porosi and Lycosa), the eggs will eventually hatch into Terezi and Vriska, but that hasn't happened yet. Anywho, Lycosa flees off-world, finding an backwater Imperial planet to hide out on, Porosi pursues her, but finds she has been declared a traitor and also wanted by the empire, so eventually she's out of funds, out of a job, and when she finally reaches the planet where Lycosa supposedly is, she finds out she's gone. So she lives rough on the streets for a while, kind of listlessly going through life until she runs into Vriska, who she of course recognizes the appearance of, and then that's a whole other thing, but this is long already and I've got more replying to do. XD -------- I'm glad you enjoyed! 😍 I _REALLY_ love writing spectacle, and that's probably why I gravitated so strongly to Pyropes, Maryams, Serkets, Lalondes, and Striders, because like...they're SUCH showboats. Couple that up with how dramatic Alternian society is already, and I can get ideas for days. XD I also really liked the idea of like...all the little vignettes that can come together from that kind of thing. Late night jam sessions, or like, taking a tour bus places (not because they need to, but because fans are into that sort of thing) and then whenever they stop, you kind of have just this giant Pyralspite hanging out in the background wherever they are. I get silly ideas of them in shitty venues when they're younger just getting thrown out because Lycosa starts fights with people in bars and Porosi finishes them. XD Ah...it's fun, but ya, when I say "just the start" it's part of this like... OK, so ugh, I have...this overarching thing with all the AUs. They're semi-linked, and there's this through-plot going on where a Vriska (specifically, one RP-ed by a friend of mine originally) is travelling through different Timelines/Sessions with Rhosyn (Troll Rose, kinda) looking for Alkaid (an OC, half-Human/half-Alternian, it's slightly complicated) and her Porosi (the same one from the kitten AU I described earlier), and in the process she runs across all these other Porosis and Lycosas and such. The _point_ of this journey, is that they all impart some kind of lesson to her, whether it's things they learned, or things she can learn from their lives, and then it culminates in a battle against an alternate Doc Scratch (in this case, not aligned with Lord English) where, if she (Vriska) applies all the lessons she learned, she could win. If not, she could potentially lose Alkaid, Rhosyn, Porosi, or all the above. But! We never got quite that far in the RP, so a bunch of these AUs haven't been explored yet, and the ending isn't written. &gt;;] But ya, plenty of these floating around. I've got a Cyberpunk one. I've got the one you drew Porosi with Dirk and Roxy in. I've got an Old West style one. A Pacific Rim/Gundam/Evangelion-esque one. I tried to come up with as many ideas as I could and just see where I could take them, keep it from getting boring. OH! There's the one where Porosi is the criminal and Lycosa is the "law", you drew a couple from that. Ah...good times, good times. -------- As for being rushed/forced, I don't feel that way at all! I just enjoy chatting back and forth, and I don't want it to ever seem like I don't value or enjoy your comments, feedback, or conversation. Because I love them! I just...lose track of time a lot. I guess I'm should be thankful I'm not just falling asleep randomly like Jade, right? XD

RE Fluids: Oooh! Ok I like those ideas about the fluids also being distinct among each caste!, especially liking those two examples! Re Pine Ginger Gif: I.. I love where your mind went with this idea! Yesssss, samee, I love those scenarios, solo play and milking, so fun &lt;3, and the theory of the nook squeezing out the fluids works so well too! RE Shame Globes: Hey, that is one of the things I loved most about this fandom, there is so much information, anyone can grab one or several small aspects and expand on it, creating new interesting ideas, I think it's cool that you remembered that and were curious on how to make that work! -------- Ohh I can't remember if I didn't know or just didn't remember the start of that AU, about Porosi/Lycosa/Povera. I think now that you mentioned it, I remember that about Porosi looking for Lycosa and ending up stuck. --------- Aw man.. &lt;3 yess, so many fun little moments for a MuicBand!AU Didn't even think of tours and stuff, love the idea about hem getting thrown from bars lol, yep, that's them...! haha OHhh, I think I remember you mentioning that before! About Vriska traveling through different timelines and she meets all these different versions, yeah! I didn't know/remember about it being like lessons for an upcoming battle! aww &lt;3 I still really love that idea of Dirk and Roxy being worried about Porosi ;v; &lt;3 Th...there's one with mechas!? ..... &lt;3 yeeeesss... just yes &lt;3! Please, do they also gotta weird cool suits and gadgets to pilot them?? [Also cyberpunk is super intriguing and old west style is so perfectly /them/!! Is this setting in alternia or something more human??] Wait wait, which one was it?? with Porosi as the criminal and Lycosa as "the law" I must know, I can't recall!! -------- Aaa I'm glad! I just wouldn't want you to feel pressured when things seem pretty busy with work! &lt;3 I'm glad it's not like that though!!

epyon_avenger

Ha ha, I'm glad you like some of the ideas and headcanons. Honestly, that was probably my favorite part of the fandom, that they had so many things to think on. Most fandoms it's all kind already written out for you, we had so much space to play. &gt;;] -------- Ok, so addressing your AU comments... The whole thing about it being one big setup I...am not sure was all worked out when we chatted about it? That was still forming I think, maybe. It's been a minute, so I can't quite recall, I'd have to look back. XD ### IMPORTANT NOTE: I came up with all this stuff WAY before HS2, and any resemblance to it is unintended. &gt;:p ### For the one with Dirk and Roxy, the main thoughts with that universe was that there were no rebellions (or if there were, they were much earlier) and so Porosi became a Legislacerator (originally) and later moved to being a sort of...Commissar-like figure in the Alternian Navy when Lycosa became an Admiral. They eventually go to invade Earth, where they're stalled by the combination of magic and tech brought by the adult Beta kids (Rose/Dave/Jade/John). Over time, Porosi gets disillusioned with the massive losses they're taking, and the way the Empress is treating them like fodder, but to her surprise, Lycosa had already secretly defected to the Human side (via nightly connections to Jade, similar to what Vriska did, but obviously more refined, since Lycosa is an adult in full control of her powers). So she tells Porosi that the plan is going to be that the Humans will lower the magic/tech defenses around the planet, making it look like they've broken down, and when the Alternians are in range, they'll release a sort of...well, it's a nasty little magic/tech/biological cocktail that will render most of the Alternian tech (itself usually semi-biological) mostly useless. Lycosa, due to not wanting to employ psionic helmsmen for obvious reasons, has a more traditionally constructed flagship, so she'd be unaffected. She can also mind-control the crew, so they don't have to worry about anyone turning on them. So! The plan goes forward, but the Condesce, in a last act of spite, rams her failing ship into Lycosa's, and in the mess, Lycosa is gravely wounded and realizes if Porosi keeps dragging her out, they're not going to make it to the escape pods. So she mind-controls Porosi (she normally can't, but because Porosi is so distraught, and doesn't have Pyralspite backing her up, she manages) to walk into an escape pod and leave her, and both ships are destroyed when they hit the atmosphere. SO! What does this have to do with Dirk and Roxy? Ok, read on. XD Most Alternians are initially imprisoned, but seeing as they were essentially slaves to the Condesce, the Beta kids convince the world go accept most of them, if they'll help integrate their tech and such with Earth. Porosi, in particular, is singled out to be a figurehead for the Alternians, held up as a hero who helped broker peace and overthrow the Condesce. Without the high population of high-bloods from Alternia, the low-bloods achieve a lot more freedom on Earth, and things are pretty good for a while. Over time though, things are less great. Alternians are mostly treated as second-class citizens, despite assurances, and for some reason they're all living shorter and shorter lives, usually the same as Humans or less, which doesn't make any sense. Meanwhile, the beta kids have started to age out. John passed first, Dave disappears, and everyone assumes he's gone. Jade is ancient, and people think she's not quite all there. Rose...is an interesting case. She is still alive, but she confides in Porosi that she is...not all that she seems to be, as there was a cost to maintaining the magical defenses for as long as she did, and she's not much longer for the world as we know it. So, having formed a moirallegiance with Porosi over the years, she entreats her to take care of the Alpha kids, who are just children at the time, since she (as a higher caste) ought to live long enough to do so. Something she reluctantly agrees to. Flash forward a little further, and while Porosi _has_ outlived most of her Human friends, she's feeling the strain of whatever seems to be affecting the other Alternians, if a little less so. Jane has grown up to become a leader on Earth, Jake is not a political leader, per se, but is incredibly popular with the people. Dirk is something of a recluse, spending his time working out why all the Alternian tech seems to be failing and living with Porosi. Roxy is helping him, and trying to figure out why the Alternians are more sickly as well, also caring for Porosi. Porosi herself is supposedly one of Earth's highest ranked generals, and an instructor in the relatively new Earth defense and exploration forces, but has been essentially retired since her health started to decline. Eventually, Roxy and Dirk end up spend nights as pseudo-vigilantes, stopping people who are messing with the Alternians, and trying to help them out, and spending days trying to go through official channels to help them, but it seems like it's harder and harder. Porosi knows about it, but has mostly withdrawn from the world, feeling like she has failed her people, and let down Lycosa, who she thinks should have been the one to survive. Eventually, we find out that Jane is the source of many of the Alternian's hardships, but in truth it isn't Jane at all. The Condesce survived the destruction of her ship, and had been biding her time, slowly working her way into a position where she could take control of Jane and Jake (she intended to get Dirk and Roxy too, but they were both too wiley, and too well watched over by Porosi) via mind-control devices (like in canon with Jane). She reveals she warped the things the Beta kids used to disable the Alternian ships to slowly kill off all the Alternians, as she didn't need them anymore. The Humans would make better subjects, as they were easier to control, and once she'd made sure that they were all fitted with mind-control devices (being marketed as various other things), she'd start her empire up all over again. The trick with this one was that Vriska showing up would provide Roxy/Dirk with a sample of untainted Alternian DNA (since she hadn't been exposed to either weapons) which they use to help Porosi, but not before they're captured by Jane/Jake (which is where we get the Condesce reveal). The intention was that Porosi would be joined by Vriska (and possibly Rhosyn, depending on Vriska's choices) who would help free Dirk and Roxy, overthrow and defeat the Condesce, and then put things right on Earth again. ## Mecha AU ## OK so this one was way less thought out, but the basic thought is this. Some number of Alternians encounter Earth as they're running away from Horror Terrors spawned when the Condesce summoned more of them (intending to supplement Gl'bgolyb, but she gets more feral ones instead of smart ones). Among them are some of the usual suspects (Porosi, Lycosa, etc.) Now after some time, they find that Alternian psionics are quite good at powering Human tech that, when properly enchanted, can actually manage to fight against the Horrorterrors. So! We've got a mixed cast here. The Alpha kids are adults, not quite elderly, but getting there and the Beta kids are the young adults. You need a Human in the mech to regulate the magic, you need a psionic Alternian to power many of the systems, so we get some interesting pairings. Roxy and Dirk maintain the tech, a mix of biological Alternian tech, technological Human tech, and some amount of thaumatological Human tech pioneered primarily by Roxy (but really it was Rose, they just can't say a kid did it, or no one would take it seriously). Rose pairs off with Lycosa (Porosi is their handler), Dave with Argali, etc. Then they fight the monsters, at some point my thought was that Lycosa is injured or killed, forcing Vriska to take her place, which makes for an interesting experience. Didn't get it fully developed past that. I also wanted to have some instances where Rose and Argali are aware of Rhosyn (who is often disembodied, since she's...questionably alive, I'm not sure if I explained that, I can do it later if I haven't), and then like...had questions. XD Definitely would have cool matching suits, cool mechs with fun names, etc. I love the idea of Porosi being the one to stay behind in this, instead of the fighter, since that's more traditionally where she ends up. Has to use her head instead of her fists more. ## Cyberpunk AU ## Alright so this one, again more vague, didn't fully develop it yet, but basically it was like this. Takes place on Earth, and Humans are Human (obviously), and the Alternians are...AIs? Kind of? Most of them are more like VIs from Mass Effect. Not really sentient. _SOME_ of them (like Porosi) are not only sentient, but are fully aware, though they can't really show that, or they risk getting hunted down. In this universe, Roxy and Dirk are aware there's something more to the Alternian codebase, especially compared to the old harmless Beforan one that came first. They're digging into that, but Vriska is a fish out of water here, since she's DEFINITELY not Human, and looks like some of the Alternian program cyberspace avatars, but is physical. Rhosyn would give her a glamour to disguise her as a Human, but she'd eventually bump into Roxy who'd take a shine to her. We would eventually find out that the Beta kids were responsible for the Beforan codebase, which was the basis for most of the modern tech in the world, but a rogue program (a Doc Scratch allusion, in this case) had tainted it, and subtly influenced the later introduction of the Alternian code. All of this is an attempt to push forward the appearance of sburb (which is important to the overarching story, but less so to this specific AU), by way of an eventual hivemind-like backdoor where a Condesce-AI will take over all the Alternian programs at some point. Vriska, with help from Roxy and Dirk, manage to track down the remnants of an early Alternian beta program (Porosi, but probably styled P0R0S1, and with the handle R3DGL4R3 or some such, because cyberpunk) who isn't affected by the "mind control" of the Condesce program, which is because she absorbed the LYC0S4 program, which P0R0S1 hopes to recover. Blah blah blah, lots of adventure and hijinks, eventually they (hopefully) manage to retrieve the LYC0S4 program, stop C0ND3SC3, etc. Like I said, not fully fleshed out, but I did like the mental image of swapping between reality and the cyber world. Also, Rhosyn would absolutely hate that AU, she doesn't love tech. XD ## Western AU ## So this one was similar to the very first AU Vriska hit (the Grimdark one, which I didn't describe here yet, but can do later if you like, since this is already getting long XD), in that things...haven't gone well. It takes place...somewhere. I didn't decide on Earth or Alternia, but it's a mixed empire, or was at any rate. The Condesce died under mysterious circumstances, but instead of a giant rebellion or something, the empire just kind of...fell apart. So you have this backwater world (which could be Earth or Alternia, it doesn't matter for the sake of the story) where Humans and Alternians both live, and Vriska would show up in a town, and cause quite a stir. This is primarily because the whole down insists she died. In fact, she did, or rather, this AU's version of her did. The town originally was owned/run by Lycosa and Porosi. Lycosa ran the hotel/saloon/brothel/etc. (standard western faire), Porosi was the sheriff, and their "daughters", Terezi and Vriska, not quite teenagers. Povera and others make minor appearances, might have jobs there too? Not sure. Main point is that a gang rolls into town (modeled after either the Felt or Midnight Crew, hadn't decided which), and ambushes the schoolhouse, using the kids to draw out Lycosa and Porosi. Obviously, Lycosa's mind-control ought to make short work of them, but all doesn't go according to plan, her control over them isn't perfect (they're aliens she hadn't encountered before, so she didn't have it down yet) and it turns into a gunfight/brawl. Some townsfolk don't make it, including Lycosa, Terezi, and Vriska. Porosi is wounded, but lives, at least until they string her up as an example. Thing is...she's there that night, but by morning, her body is gone. The gang things the town took her down, one last thing they can do for her, but the townspeople are whispering about it that none of them did it. I anticipated Vriska would either a) immediately make a spectacle of herself, and have to flee the town or b) would proactively flee the town, either way, she'd end up outside the town in the desert, wandering and eventually passing out. Enter Porosi, though she isn't using that name anymore. She thinks Vriska is a ghost, or a hallucination, until she touches her, and then brings her back to a camp she's made in a cave. It's not clear if she ever really believes she's real, or who she says she is, or anything else Vriska tells her, but she says she'll help her (they have to get help from the Porosi of each AU to get a piece of info that will get them closer to Vriska's Porosi) if they help first. She thinks Vriska can work minds the same as Lycosa (Vriska claims she can, but she can't at that scale, similar to canon), so she figures they've got a chance at this. This Porosi I envisioned wearing a like...cowboy version of her Legislacerator outfit, except it's still got the bloodstains and bullet holes from where she was shot, and she keeps the noose on her neck (though obviously the knot is not going to tighten), kind of a dead-woman-walking situation. She _didn't_ actually die, but she did get close, and when she came to, she cut herself down and staggered out to the desert. Anyway. Theory was, they go back to the town, and instead of Vriska mind-controlling, Rhosyn would cook up a real spook show with magic, maybe raise some dead (temporarily) to assist Porosi, that kind of thing. Once it's all done, Povera says she'll mind Porosi, who they're not sure if she'll recover or not, but that's a choice she'll have to make for herself. ## Yakuza/Triad AU ## Ok, so this one you did some drawings for. Basically, roles are swapped. Lycosa is the military woman, Porosi is a criminal, but instead of a pirate, she's more like a Yakuza/Triad leader. They have their fun, flirting black and red, etc. until Aguera gets jealous of how much time Porosi is spending with Lycosa (remember, some things swapped here) and kills off Porosi's prized...not slave...Povera is really more of a...face of the organization. Like, a kind, friendly person, who makes it seem legitimate. Anyway, things escalate from there. Porosi attempts to kill Aguera, the Condesce orders the army/navy after Porosi, Lycosa goes after her, but it's a bit different this time. This AU, the Condesce doesn't have Gl'bgolyb, so when she tries to bring Porosi in, she kicks off a civil war instead. Porosi, leading the lower castes and some high-blood turncoats (including Lycosa and eventually Dhanus and such) eventually manages to kill off the Condesce, but at the cost of Lycosa and some of the others, which just turns it into a cold war instead of a hot one. Porosi and her faction control the Alternian moons, and some of the colonies, Aguera and the royalists control Alternia proper and some other colonies. The Jade bloods have remained mostly neutral, though many are secretly loyal to Porosi. For her part, in the course of the war, after losing Lycosa, she found someone as bloodthirsty for revenge as she was (Argali). They're...complicated. I'd say they lean red/pale most of the time, but can flip into black. Speaking of the Jade bloods though, Porosi has something of an interesting secret. See, Aguera has been counting on Porosi dying off all this time, but for some reason, she and Argali seem to just...never get any older. It's earned her a reputation as "The Eternal Dragon" (or some other such, I hadn't 100% decided on the nickname), and people are beginning to think she's immortal, just like the Condesce was. A rumor she encourages, saying things like, she stole her eternal life when she killed her or such. What _actually_ happened, is that prior to her dying, Povera had discovered when/where the next Heiress would hatch, and secreted away the wiggler. When she died, the other Jade bloods brought the wiggler (Feferi) to Porosi, who not only spared her, but was secretly raising her, originally to use as collateral with Aguera, but she grew fond of her (and so did Argali) so now they treat her like their own. Interestingly, she has the ability to extend life (like the Condesce), and so she has been extending their lives as she grows. This has enabled Porosi to set up a giant criminal empire, which she rules as pseudo-empress. TECHNICALLY the worlds under her rule are still Alternian, but they don't really bow to Aguera in more than paperwork. Because my Porosi is East Alternian (specifically leaning towards Chinese, even more specifically, from Alternian-equivalent to Sìchuān), her empire has a lot of that flavor, and is far richer in appearance and lifestyle than the royalist empire (who keeps oppressing the low-bloods, etc.). Really, the only rule of her empire is "All are equal beneath the wings of the Dragon." (or some such). Basically, she's on top, everyone else can do whatever they want as long as they respect that. She ALSO has got a little bit of a drug trade doing, but it's a like...ok, you know how they have sopor slime? And Gamzee eats it in pies to get high in the comic? So this Porosi has had a team making a refined drug based off sopor slime. If inhaled, you get a major high, maybe a little bit of a trip, and generally improves your overall health. Sounds good, except that if you want to keep that good health, you have to keep having more. Also, its extension is very much tied to your caste. So low-bloods that use it live longer, healthier lives. Mid-bloods get a little more longevity, but mostly it's just a nice high. High-bloods get next to nothing unless they _REALLY_ hit it hard, but that makes it cripplingly addictive (as opposed to just wanting more to stay healthy, they NEED more or they get unhealthy). It's her jab at Aguera and his empire. ANYWAY. Vriska would show up, and either end up at Porosi's grand celebration of the anniversary of her killing the Empress, _OR_ be captured by Argali (depending on her actions). Either way, Porosi would absolutely not believe her story, and thinks she's some kind of a trick sent by Aguera, doubly so when Argali tells her Vriska is harboring a ghost (Rhosyn). Before they can really get into that though, Aguera attacks and manages to kidnap Feferi, and so Vriska/Rhosyn would end up assisting Argali and Porosi in getting her back. Depending on Vriska's actions and choices, it'd either convince Porosi to be less of a crime boss and more of a real leader to her people, or would harden her resolve to keep to what she's doing. I was planning to intersperse flashbacks and/or stories in there about how Porosi seduced Lycosa (she was older than her in this AU, instead of the reverse), some of their little back and forths, etc. It was also a chance to flesh out Argali some more. As a bonus! Aradia is around as a ghost, she looks after Feferi even after she is captured, and depending on Vriska's choices, Rhosyn might be able to help allow her to manifest and be with Feferi properly. -------- OK, so that's a zillion lines of text, but happy to ramble more about any of those, or any other AU if you like. XD

AHH finally I come with a reply! Yesss exactly! That is the best part, the crazy amount of possibilities, lorewise, or even just due to the crazy amount of characters. It was always awesome seeing how some people fixated on different characters or groups. Like those that would focus on the midnight clue. Then you had those who loved the humans the most, etc etc. It was always cool, the amount of variety!! ### Haha don't worry, TBH I know nothing about HS2, I knew it 100% wasn't for me after I read the epilogues and I've stayed far away from any of it. ### Oh I loved reading about this first AU, that backstory is so fun ;___; I want to see a show about it with Alternia [the ancestors!!] launching a full attack on earth, and the beta kids now adults defending it with magic? That is so cool they'd use Alternia's very peculiar technology against them, and then Lycosa switching sides like that... yeah it's just cool. Aaahh that is such an interesting mystery! Yeahh how come alternians are being affected like that?? Noooooo!!! x'D Haha ok... I see the resemblance now, I am a bit sad about evil Jane, I love her so much.. ;__; Jake too... Still, very fitting for the Condesce to take control like that, and damn... being so careless about her people since she's found an easier to handle alternative. So cold and ruthless. It's really cool, and I like the idea for the resolution of this story. ## Mecha AU ## Oh hell yess, I adore that, human + troll having to work together, and even better if it's interesting/less common combinations! And I love how with this AU, Alternian technology is also incorporated!! Aw it might be less developed, but still such a cool idea! I want to see art for this, the mechas and suits. And yeah it's also fun seeing Porosi have to take a less direct approach. ## Cyberpunk AU ## Oohhh iiinteresting...! I am not sure what else to comment, I am not so familiar with cyberpunk themes, but still, it's just really interesting and fun the way you've incorporated all these lore elements into this new world. Really really interesting! I like the Beforan and beta kids being referenced like that, like being a bit more in the backgorund. I loved the touch abt Doc Scratch! ## Western AU ## ahh the beginning of this description has some vocabulary I wasn't familiar with. Aw yeah, it's a more depressing au, still interesting. I like the description you give of Porosi look. I think it's a cool design! ## Yakuza/Triad AU ## [Wait, who was Dhanus again?] Aw man, poor Lycosa, her fate is sealed across the universes, well, everyone's is! Ohh yeah I think I remember, I don't know if the drawing got too far though, I believe it remained as a sketch/thumbnail right? A drawing of Argali. AWW yesss, Feferi playing a part in the AU ;v; &lt;33 I like that so much!! Damn @ the drug thing, that's interesting and what a clever asshole move against the highgbloods, it's good, a fun concept! Nooo Feferi!! awww ;v; &lt;3 Aradia! Haha I like those. Tbh it's a ship/dynamic I'd really liked for a long time, Feferi and Aradia But yeah a criminal Porosi and Law-abiding Lycosa is a fun change to think about! I also like the way she's kept Feferi secret and has encouraged these rumors about stealing the Condesce's lifespan/powers. I imagine that while that makes people fear her more, there's plenty of foolish trolls interested in taking it from her too. ------ That was such a fun read! I am sorry I don't know how to expand on them, I just had a lot of fun picturing these AUs, the designs and the scenes! I really would love to watch a show or something for some of them. Or even just read the story with accompanying images! haha I really love how you incorporate the lore and their fates into completely new scenarios, and I love the diversity in tone between AUs, some are very high stakes, some grand/epic, some are more fun or silly, some are hopeful or happy, some really sad and/or bitter... It's so cool!

(last reply I owe you!) I definitely didn't want Jane to be evil by choice, Jake either, so I tried to write it in a way that they could be redeemed eventually, if it worked out that way. I _did_ try hard to make it really stand out just how utterly callous the Condesce is, and how she doesn't care about anyone other than herself, and her goals. (if you read my stupidly long ramble in the messages, you might pick up on some reasons why she's gotten to this state &gt;;] ). I'm glad you liked the resolution though! I think the story needs some work, and if it wasn't going to be played like a game by Vriska's RPer, I'd probably flesh some bits out more. It's easy to hide flaws and missing bits if it's just set pieces someone is playing through as opposed to a like, fully written story. &gt;_&gt;;; ## Mecha/Cyberpunk AU ## Now that you got me thinking about these again, I am feeling like I ought to put more energy into it. If I can manage to get time to think on it, I'll have to write these up for real somewhere and add more to it. Maybe make a wiki or something... If I get to it, I'll link you, ha ha. ## Western AU ## Oh? Sorry about the vocabulary issues, I'm always happy to explain if I can, I'll try to go a better job editing in the future for things that don't always translate easily. &gt;:T ## Yakuza/Triad AU ## (Dhanus is Darkleer, I...might have deleted the place I said that when I did another editing pass, sorry about that!) I was trying to work in more rare pairs and interesting interactions on this one, and since Porosi is so long-lived here, I could work in the descendants more too, which was fun. If this ever became a full-fledged AU, it might be cool to track them all down, and make more entrances for fantrolls and such, I just hadn't quite gotten there because it was part of a different story setup. But also, yes, Porosi definitely working the angles to make herself seem more imposing. As for Lycosa, MOST AUs I've written either lose her, or Porosi. Ones that have them both tend to be the peaceful ones, so not great for story-telling, but potentially nice to talk about, ha ha. The Grimdark AU that was actually Vriska's first stop in her AU hopping was, before it turned Grimdark, one of the happy ones. I'll spare the Grimdark part, but the short version is that up until things go bad, Lycosa and Porosi have settled down together, and when Vriska/Terezi eventually are hatched, Povera makes sure they make their way into their care. Lycosa is essentially retired, just doing a bit of trade, Porosi is local law enforcement, but more like a small-time sheriff than anything else. Terezi and Vriska grow up like sisters...and...I think I got a commission of this from someone...if I do, I'll send it to you in a message, ha ha. ANYWAY, I'm glad you enjoyed, I _try_ to make them different and work in details and lore, without it being like...randomly different? I guess...I want the differences to be logical, or at least, logical if you know what all the pieces are. Still, I'm happy to share with someone, other than like, Vriska's RPer, who is usually the only person listening to the rambling, ha ha. &gt;:]
