Anonymous asked: I was messing with the idea of a quirk based around Roman numerals for a troll who's interested in history and Alternian civilization and such, where they'd capitalize the letters used in roman numerals (IVXLCDM) and use them instead of numbers ("the VIII of us are goIng to pLay a gaMe!"). I was wondering whether you think they would be fine to use given that they won't be...
Anonymous asked: Hello, I have a question, -obviously- about themed trolls. I've thought about my fantroll to be magic-based, if thats possible, and I've already designed a sign for her. I've noticed that, in the lower spectrum of blood colors, the more likely the troll with be more of a "sorcerer" if you will, given that the troll has no mutations in their blood, like Karkat. I'd...
Anonymous asked: @ whale anon: ...hiveback whale? HAAHAHAHA.
Anonymous asked: A were-troll wouldn't be overly strange would it? Given the fact that kanaya is essentially a vampire troll, and the eternal struggle of vampires and lycans
Anonymous asked: i have a small question/theory regarding limebloods. yeah, they were made pretty much extinct, but given the sheer number of trolls in every nook and cranny of the galaxy, there must still be a couple lurking around somewhere. thus, i wanted to know if my [Alternian] fantroll is made any less special snowflake by being practically afraid of her blood colour, perhaps even moreso than Karkat was...
Anonymous asked: How do we submit to the blog now? The FAQ and About pages only have 'filler' written in them.
Anonymous asked: Well I'm in the process of making a troll and I honestly can't find something that says if there's a certain format you need to follow for making a trolltag or a Chumhandle. So do you have any tips? I seriously need help, and I feel a bit dumb for asking...

Re: Our friggin' awesome new theme/icon
Dudes and ladies, our sweet admin Q just gave the blog a sassy new theme that I played around with (I think I made it worse) and it is MUCH BETTER than the gross pucey pink thing we had going on, so check that out if you want.
Also notice the handy-dandy bar on the bottom of the blog page thing that will take you to affiliates, links to the mods’ blogs, that kind of thing. Once again,...
Anonymous asked: My troll is pretty much a free spirit, and doesn't like attachments or burdens. However, filling quadrants is a really big deal. I don't really want to change her character (but it isn't out of question), so do you think there's any way to get around this?
Anonymous asked: Is it okay if you have a troll that's into telling the future?
Anonymous asked: How do you feel about changeable weapons? Like Kanaya's case. I have a troll who has Flamethrowerkind, but I'm thinking of adding leafblowerkind. Do you think that's okay?
Anonymous asked: You've mentioned that snake-themed trolls have a bad rap before, and I was wondering if you could list a few examples of things to avoid doing for myself and other people looking to use the same theme?
Anonymous asked: I just wanted to ask, can you think of any good quirks for a music-themed troll? She's a yellowblood, and her symbol is a musical triplet, though I've been kind of considering actually changing it to a bass clef to match her horns. In fact, I'm probably going to be doing that when I do my big redesign on her. I'm just looking for suggestions, since her current quirk is...
Anonymous asked: What is a good quirk for an emotionless troll, which has a raccoon for a lusus?
Anonymous asked: Hello! Question for fankids planets- I remember how the Beta kids had a certain connection of the theme of their planets (The four elements and their Aspect connection) as well as the Alpha kids (Some kind of burial ground and gas element). Do you think a natural disaster and type of rock would be an ideal combination? (Land Of Earthquakes and Shale, Land of Tornadoes and Sand, ect.)
museof-heart asked: Would it be acceptable for an orange-blood(what I call Tavros' color/caste, even though its not really orange. :v) to live in a relatively cold and mountainous area? Being that low on the hemospectrum I can't really see them being at all near the sea, so?
Anonymous asked: Hi there! Would having a Platypus-like Lusus with a land-dweller troll be a bad idea?
fenrichs asked: I have a mustardblood and I would like him to have psychic powers... Should I have the powers red and blue colored like Sollux, or should they be a different color?
Anonymous asked: Could there be a lusus that eats other lusii for survival, or is that just a thing of Gl'bgolyb?
Anonymous asked: Can a jade blood only become a rainbow drinker after death? Is there any desire to drink blood before the change? I can't find any good information on them, so any info you could give me would be very much appreciated!
Anonymous asked: Okay, so I'm working on a yellow blooded Mage of Blood fantroll, and I really like the idea of him using his excess of blood as a weapon, either through telekinesis or whatever. However, I'm worried that's too Marry Sue-ish. :x Thoughts please?
Anonymous asked: I was wondering if you guys could answer a question on titles. I have a fankid who basically runs a time postal system, sending different objects through time so they arrive at the most convieniant moments. She would basically be secretly commanding the whole session. (She would have some limits to make her not OP) O was thinking page or muse of time? I dont know, but I would love your opinion on...
Anonymous asked: would it be ok to have a "glitch" in our sgrub session... like Trickstermode, but not. (we have a planet that clones our AU fantrolls- called PTC forms... where you can have a Negative, Positive or Division form [haha math]) + it ties in with the fancherubs that seem to pop in here and then since they're ursaminor (-) and ursamajor (+)
Anonymous asked: I have this headcanon that troll horns are based on grub behavior- Tavros has giant ones because he's not the attacking time, whereas Karkat probably rammed everything ever with his tiny grub head and thus squished them down; has anything canon jossed that yet? I mean, ignoring the ectobiology thing where they're blatantly tiny versions of the way the trolls looked in their intro pages.
Anonymous asked: beforus trolls are generally more pleasant than alternian trolls, right?
Anonymous asked: If the lusus was a whale, could a hive be on the back of the lusus?
Anonymous asked: Decided I wanted another fantroll, and she's going to be a teal blood who's based of Caduceas because Trauma Center is like an amazing game. I want to use a Kirin for her Lusus but I don't want to use any of those snake on a stick symbol, since that's overdone. ALSO BECAUSE SNAKE PUNS S'S EVERYWHERE ARE TERRIBLE. I already have an idea for a typing quirk, so that's...
Anonymous asked: I noticed you mentioned in reply to another anon that happy friendly trolls were fairly untroll-like, but is it alright if there is a particular reason behind it? My other trolls are, in that sense, quite troll-like otherwise.
Anonymous asked: Would an indigo troll that doesn't wear juggalo makeup be too special snowflake? If she does have to wear it, would it be ok if she only wears it when she goes out but otherwise doesn't bother, or should she just wear it all the time?
Anonymous asked: I have a trouble, maybe is a little stupid but... if one troll has blue blood and his symbol is... I don't know, a heart? for example, that make him a scorpio? i mean the zodiac, im so confused sorry
Anonymous asked: So I have this character who's trollian tag is fractalNativity when he meant fracturedNaivety, is that stupid or cute that he completely goofed that up and has yet to notice?
Anonymous asked: What is a good aerodynamic horn design? I mean I don't want them HUGE but I don't want them tiny either.
Anonymous asked: Would thins like limebloods and pinkbloods be ok as long as you operated on an AU or??
Anonymous asked: I forgot if I asked or not, but do you think emoticons involving the character "Ø" would be good for a mute troll? Sorry if I asked already and I didn't see it somehow >ø>
Anonymous asked: I hope I'm not being too pushy in enquiring but, well, you guys haven't been active for a while and I was wondering if that period of inactivity might end sometime soon or whether it's a long-term prospect.

Anonymous asked: Hii again! I'm the anon who asked about the baking troll quirks! I just wanted to say thank you real quick before asking. Can a troll have antler-like horns? Not like Vriska's where it splits into a pincer-like shape, but more of a stag or moose's antlers.
Anonymous asked: Did you get Oberon? I resubmitted him.
Anonymous asked: Hi I was wondering if basing fantrolls on constellations (ex. Karkat is Cancer, Vriska is Scorpio, etc.) was a good idea? I read somewhere that it was a good addition to fan characters.
verygenericname asked: Eridan's hair colour streak was natural, as he had it just after he was made with ectobiology.
Anonymous asked: i have 3 trolls that sort of... go together, but im scared to submit them. QuQ
trollingbatterwitch asked: This is the limeblood girl from a few nights ago. Just wanted to say that I decided to operate completely within an au once I had a moment to sit down and really think about her (there was a lot of stuff about genes and evolution and stuff that followed that I'll apply to all blood castes, among other things, I need to stop world building, I will cry) and just wanted to thank you for your...

Holy SHIT you love SEWING, even though you are MISERABLE at it. You tend to sew PLUSHES among other things, but they never seem to come out quite right. You also try to experiment with sewing, and managed to butcher your skirt that happens to now be...
Anonymous asked: Would it be alright for my fantroll to have a streak or hair colored to match her blood color? Eridan has something like that; is it natural or has it been dyed, or do we not know?
Anonymous asked: I've got a fantroll who resents responsibilities and commitments. So, to make her less Mary Sueish, I decided to make her a Space player. I'm kinda wondering if I should make her a teal blood or a jadeblood, do you think a jadeblood is a bit much? I don't really want to make her overly troubled.
Anonymous asked: Ah, sorry, I meant untroll like. I think I put that down incorrectly, but hopefully you got the gist of it.
Anonymous asked: I've seen you guys call some interests I troll like, exactly what qualifies as such?
Anonymous asked: I have a seadweller fantroll who feels a little too "violent" and "competent" to me. By competent, I mean is way too much like a mass murderer. How can I balance this out? It's a he, by the way. Aren't female trolls more capable than male trolls, usually?

Sprite: Skylah Corvus
[[MORE]]Okay, so~ I have some sprites for my fantroll, Skylah. I just wanted to know your take on them, like, is the sizing of the horns right, is the hair not too out of control, etc. Although, I might submit her full intro and description for the review later. I am quite proud~
She’s a freakin’ cutie. Well done. - Mod Cait
Anonymous asked: Would Knighterror be a good profession for my troll's ancestor? It's the best thing I can come up with for my knight/warrior ancestor... :c
Anonymous asked: If my troll has a two-headed lusus, one head being a coyote to be/represent the laid-back, trickster parent who belives its better to learn from your humilating mistakes, and the other being an owl head to represent a very strict, highly intellectual, "don't have any fun because you won't learn then" type of parent, would that be too special snowflake? And what quirk would work...
