I feel like creating a new oc tonight hrm

Oooo maybe an Arak troll! It's a troll tribe I've been working on idly back and forth, they're known for being crafters and weavers who live in cliffs and deep tunnels. They're all spider-like with anywhere from 4-8 black, mirror-like eyes and having no less than four arms. Most Arak tend to have six to eight arms, there's been some Arak who've had over a dozen before! Sometimes an Arak troll can grow another pair of arms long into adulthood.

Arak are responsible for weaving most of the few fabrics trolls use, their homes are typically in such dangerous places most trolls can't ever visit. They live inside booby trapped tunnels, giant webs of ropes and woven bridges strung across deep ravines, woven tunnels that hang suspended from the ceilings of massive caverns; it's all up to the troll's preferences but most Arak prefer homes that can only be reached if your feet are miniature climbing hooks and you have lots of arms to climb with. Their sense of balance is incredible and they're not very strong but they are VERY maneuverable when climbing and are terrifying to most trolls. Funny, honestly, considering Arak are one of the less violent tribes of trolls out there.

Arak enjoy spiders, like, a lot. The physical resemblance is amusing to them and most Arak have pet spiders. Most of their fabrics are made out of a combination of spiderwebs and shredded vines they grow their own ropes out of. They don't actually create webs from their bodies so they have to make do, and no one quite knows how they make their fabrics so finely woven yet durable. After all most trolls are PRETTY demanding on their clothing, Arak fibers are some of the toughest that a troll can get.

My Oracle oc Virepa is actually an Arak, but they can't live among their own kind because randomly having your senses hijacked isn't good when you have the chance of literally walking off a cliff every five feet. Arak are really community based trolls and tend to have massive communal families living out of one nest.

Also, beware, because some Araks downright worship spiders and their nests are usually crawling with them. Or it could be their hoardes of children, either or. Hard to say sometimes!

My hand hurts

Liyel's fur changes colors in different lights, in sunlight she's stunningly pearlescent- that look pearls got? Yeah, that's the color attempt lol

But in darker areas her hair just looks flat yellow, if pretty. It's only when light falls on her that she really Shines

And if she ducks below her hair, covers up completely with it, something interesting happens and your eyes just... slide over her. Even if you watched her do it. Your eyes just don't want to look at her and unless you know to look, you won't even notice she's there...

#here she issssss <3 #liyel

[grawnahs-market]

OH LIYEL, I'M GONNA DRAW LIYEL BECAUSE SHE'S SO FLOOF HER HAIR WILL BE WONDERFUL TO COLOR

I'm gonna draw and color some oc folks from here, any requests?? Any color schemes y'all been wanting to see???

This fic is going places and by places I mean hilariously awkward situations that hint at the Actual storyline going on with the Trollhunters squad, since the Disaster Musketeers are just background plot

"....what are you doing in my tomb?"

"What're you doing here if you're alive???"

*nervously shifts Draal's head behind his back* "...carry on."

I wanna say that when Jim and the rest of the trolls pass through the US looking for cover Blinky suggests they have a slight detour through Texas, because he knows a troll town there who would be willing to help them. Probably they stop at lots of troll towns along the way if they can find them but it's hard to get space and food for so many trolls so most towns either turn them down or actually can't help

But Blinky insists on this town, and Jim and the rest of them are getting desperate, so they go with the idea and roundabout through Texas, which takes FOREVER but it happens.

And they're welcomed in by a troll so big Aaarrrgghh would come up to his hip, an excited chattering troll who can't stop moving, a tiny yellow blob of fur who runs from Claire like she's terrifying, and a very small, old troll who looks at them with very sad eyes.

Blinky is very, very sad to have to tell Graw'Nah that Vendel... did not make it. Graw'Nah just... sighs... looks sad, but smiles slightly anyways. She offers whatever her town can do to help them on their way and a place to bunk for a few weeks if they need rest. Then she hobbles on back to her cave and they don't see her the rest of their stay because she's old, and Vendel was old, but she thought she'd have more time, but they both had so many responsibilities...

Graw'Nah's Market is small, and they don't have much, but they give the Trollmarket trolls what they can because they've all been raised by Graw'Nah the Gracious and her giving nature has been imprinted into every single one of them. And maybe the Trollmarket trolls have to set up tents in the Arena because there's no other place, and maybe they're constantly baffled by the weird fucking trolls there, but two changelings stop by and nervously ask if it's true, if the Janus Order is gone, if it's safe for them to be on the surface again. And a small furry creature sniffs Jim and curiously creeps up next to him and asks if they're the same thing, because she too is something wrong and in Between, and he melts and asks this scared little girl what her name is. And a tired Oracle makes a stop by the Arena to nod and let Jim know "You turned out better than I expected" (and to cuss out Merlin, for making an amulet that's a blind spot to their visions). And maybe it's weird, and maybe it's stressful, but Claire and Jim even get to make pit stops up above in places the changelings know they won't be seen, to get showers and human food and wash their clothes.

They don't have somewhere near New Jersey, but Graw'Nah's Market has a dinky Gyre wheel that gets them to a spot a few states over. It takes way too many trips to get all the trolls out but it cuts down so much travel time.

Graw'Nah sees them once before they leave, she gives them all pats and gentle headbutts and tells Blinky "Vendel would be proud of you, deary, even if he'd bop you upside the head too" and she makes sure they know Graw'Nah's Market will help them set up, wherever they end up.

#hhhhhhhhh #giving myself emotions over here thinkkng about Graw'Nah mourning vendel #f u ck #trollhunters #tales of arcadia

Dictatious escapes by the skin of his teeth and probably nearly gets a concussion, but it's fine, he's fiiiine

Also, he is intimidated by kindness. A LOT of kindness. And then some not so kind kindness. 

Dictatious gets harassed (socialized) and meets a sweet old lady (terrifying old warrior who calls everyone sweetheart and darling) and Graw’Nah’s Market is finally heeerrrre and I’m excited

Belatedly realized I’d never thought about Virepa and Faber’s color schemes so hERE WE GO a few dumps about them under the cutttt

Virepa’s stone body has a dark blackish-brown to it, the lines in this are their carvings. But! They have yellow patterns like a zipper spider/golden orb-weaver all across their back and sides. Their stone is shinyyyy.  I won’t include a picture just in case but they’re very gorgeous spiders. Virepa’s horns are golden, some trolls are awed because they look genuinely made out of gold in the right light. Virepa hates it. 

USUALLY they wear capes and cloaks that cover up most of their body, these tend to be in bright colors and patterns because Faber likes to pick them out because they’re ‘pretty’. Virepa wears whatever their little brother picks out. End of question. 

Their eyes are like spider eyes and look black but are highly reflective and can be slightly iridescent in the right light. (Unshown here but their feet have tiny spider feetsy claws. Spider beans for reference.) 

And on to Faber! 

His troll form is different from his human form, his stone is brown and it’s very rough  and bumpy textured? I keep wanting to joke and say he looks like a minecraft grass block His hair is darrrrk green. His horns, nose, and eyes are all dark shades of blue? He has blue splotches on his tail but I don’t draw them. He’s still really young so he doesn’t have any carvings yet. 

Faber’s a punk rock little shit in his human form, he wears lots of dark colors and loves shitty troll t-shirts because yes, puns. He’s white and his eyes and hair are both brown. He wants to bleach and dye it to match his troll form SO bad. His dad won’t let him until he’s 16.

VIREPA’S VOICE IS NOT QUITE AS DEEP AS HIS, BUT HERE’S THEIR VOICE

I need a voiceclaim for Virepa and I need it NOW. I want to hear him in my head!

I

hrm

I genuinely have no idea??? I don’t typically think of voice claims HAHSDGDFKGG and I?? can’t think of one????? Maybe I’ll hit u up with one later but all I can offer is the knowledge that Virepa’s voice is smooth and very monotone, they don’t tend to really deviate from ‘mildly deadpan’ unless they’re angry. Which is more often than most people would like.. Virepa gets annoyed easily. 

Also! Virepa’s pronouns are they/them! They don’t care about your silly things like gender, they’re more busy trying to figure out why the floor is screaming. Or wait, maybe that’s a vision. Hrm. 

#i fucking lost my mind at the deadpan 'yas queen' #it's fuckin virepa to a T #virepa anant

[grawnahs-market]

so here’s the reason i call Dictatious, Virepa, and Faber the Dumbass Muses Trio

Dictatious gets kidnapped. Except he doesn't.

Why on earth HE'S supposed to be helping stop the apocalyptic end of times or whatever he doesn't know, but he guesses it'll be worth it to hear the befuddled look on Blinkous's face after. He also really, really missed being an adviser. The fact that the job of babysitter gets thrown in with this troll is a downside but it's not often you can wax philosophy with a whelp and get coherent debates back, so Dictatious counts it as a win.

OR in which the Three Musketeers of Walking Disasters go on a quest and they somehow stumble into saving the world without anyone knowing about it.

#trollhunters #trollhunters oc #tales of arcadia #dictatious maximus galadrigal #virepa anant #faber phillip castellano #dumbass muses trio #yes that is OFFICIALLY their group name #because nothing else fits them as well as that does

[grawnahs-market]

The absolute best thing about this fic is that Dictatious goes on a quest with these dumbasses SOLELY because Virepa said “I see the future and I keep seeing this One scenario where your brother is speechless because you did this” and he was like “fuck yeah i’m down” 

and then the quest is an absolute Parade of Dumbass Shenanigans and bad luck because they’re made up of a grouchy blind old troll who has no will to live or defend himself, a future seeing Oracle who gets visions in the form of their senses randomly being hijacked and thus being impaired and a raving madman a good chunk of the time, and a literal child who is somehow the most put together of the three but still is prone to collapsing into narcoleptic fits that he can’t be woken up from

They are literally the Worst possible trio to try and do anything ever and the fic is like primarily them fucking up everything as bizarrely as possible and yet still somehow succeeding 

I’m doin it boiiii i’m writing a fic where Dictatious gets kinda kidnapped by an Oracle and a small child and goes on an adventure where they somehow stumble their combined dumbass intellects into saving the world 

#also the child is trying to set the adults up the entire time #virepa anant #faber phillip castellano #dictatious maximus galadrigal
