You go downstairs and confront your custodian, which is another term for a frightening beast known as a LUSUS NATURAE. Your lusus has looked after you since you were very young in lieu of any biological parents, whom you have never known.
Oh! Well, that explains a lot.
In retrospect, I should have paid more attention to Gamzee calling his custodian the ‘old goat’. His custodian is literally a goat, the same way Karkat’s is a crab, and Terezi’s is meant to be a dragon. Weird signs like Gemini and Aquarius presumably get mythical creatures that fit the sign’s symbolism - or maybe Gemini gets two lususes. 
No young troll ever knows his or her blood parents, nor could such lineage ever be accurately traced. Adult trolls supply their genetic material to the FILIAL PAILS carried by imperial drones and offered to the monstrous MOTHER GRUB deep underground in the brooding caverns
Trolls have no relationship with anyone in their family tree, and no real concept of parenthood. This means that Karkat, who cloned everyone in the Veil, might be the only troll who ever met his biological parents. 
It also suggests that the Mother Grub isn’t the trolls’ biological mother, since if she was, it would be easy to trace a troll’s maternal lineage. Instead, she’s an intermediary - a biological equivalent of the Veil’s cloning tubes. 
She might be called the Mother Grub, but that term means something different on Alternia. Trolls might not even have bio-mothers - we know they have multiple parents, but we don’t know for sure that they have two. Even if they did, troll biology could allow a troll to have two biological fathers, two mothers, or a pair or trolls with sex chromosomes unknown to Earth.  
After they pupate, the young troll with his or her newfound limbs undergoes a series of dangerous trials. If they survive, they are chosen by a member of the diverse and terrifying subterranean monster population native to Alternia.
If they survive? Fucking hell. 
Trolls are starting to sound like sea turtles, laying large clutches of eggs with extremely high mortality rates. But turtles are animals, and can’t do anything about that. Alternia’s powers-that-be just don’t care. 
The vast majority of adult trolls are off-planet, serving some role in the forces of ongoing imperial conquest, besieging other star systems in the name of Alternian glory. The culture and civilization on the homeworld is maintained almost entirely by the young.
And it just keeps getting better! Alternia is a bona-fide space empire, a military civilization optimized for conquest. They’ve repurposed their home planet into a nursery, mass-producing generation after generation of soldiers. 
Even if they weren’t Medium-bound, these kids would still be destined to leave their world behind, for blood and fire in the interstellar trenches. These trolls - the ones fated to enter the game - are the lucky ones. No matter what’s waiting for them in Sburb, it’s still better than what they’re leaving behind.

Hello, I noticed that the target on the Patreon was missing regarding the Beach Episode, and I became interested. Will the episode be released? Have your plans changed?
Tumblr media
No plans have changed, only Patreon's feature. Making Perfect Encounter a full-voiced episode with the extra help of more animators is something I want to happen, however, we haven't reached the goal yet 🤷

Big fckn redesigns here. Well mostly Charlie but Vaggie somewhat too 🥰🥰
Tumblr media
Blue fits Charlie soooo much and I cease to see that many redesigns with this color. I still want red to be used in most of their designs because well. They are in hell, but not too present so to make way for other unique colors. Charlie has several physical traits from her parents but also she has some details in her clothes that match with them. When I uhh, introduce their designs you'll see lmao. I also tried to make her have a more roundish design, I jst LOVE those typ of designs omg. I just want the characters with not too many sharp corners pls Viv bro... 😔 oh yeah she's mixed cuz her mom's are darker in their redesigns. Alot of their genetics went down to Charlie so she doesn't look like an exact copy of Lucifer, I kind of hate that trend with hh and hb characters, like did the moxxies dad give birth to him bro 😭 also I kept her bow because it looks so cute and silly on her it just fits, I wish they made it bigger in her show design because it would fit her silliness so much. She has a cape with stars because morningSTAR smh why didnt they do something fun with that, missed potential but whatevs yknow I still love og designs no matter what anyone sayss. Did you know I love Charlie, I could ramble for days. I think I love Charlie guys. Maybe jst a hunch idk... also... s-snake fangs.. jeepers anddd..... snake tongue.... shiver me timberz

The wife ever. I had animation in mind more when I designed her, not like in a "How easy or hard would this be to animate" way. But I like to imagine when she's shocked her hair kind of fluffs out plus her actual fluff, when she's mad her bow turns into kind of horns and then her jacket expands like wings. Gave her a more hotel like outfit, she likes to work for fun (ew). Her socks are socks but she has some fluff under them she just tries to cover it up because she hates herself 🤪 (she doesn't hate her bigger body she actually feels much more comfortable chubby than when she was skinny with Adam. She was burdened with the weight of Adam's image of women... In this sorta rewrite she gained weight when she goes to the hotel because she's more happy. I'm dying I love chub Vaggie so much guys please) headcanon: she kind of likes fashion, it's like a fun hobby of hers to stitch together clothing and go out and buy clothes she'll never wear. She taught Charlie how to stitch and she SUCKS so you can jst see it on Charlie's pants.

Second outfits! Charlie's hotel uniform for. Well. Hotel stuff. She usually only wears it when new people come to the hotel, which.... isn't often, if at all. She still likes to keep it just in case. Also she goes really cartoonish when it happens, she does the looney tunes run and changes into her clothes in like 2 seconds. Can you see my vision? 😭😭
Vaggie's is in her armor. She has several pairs of armor lying around in the hotel in completely hidden spots. It's kind of surprising uhh. Yeah she wears it alot more than Charlie wears her alt uniform but still rare to find her in it. I don't get the whole thing with the exterminators and them not being able to fight according to Carmilla. Which is kinda stupid, I'm not gonna lie. So, instead of that, Vaggie has just let her guard down and has gotten much more comfortable in her surroundings so she feels like she doesn't need to fight anymore, she's just gotten rusty 's what I'm sayin. I have no idea how to draw armor. You can tell...
Extra below cut vvvv

BABY CHARLIE!!! With the heads of my redesigns for Luci, Eve, and Lillith. Haha you still cant see them. Uhh, ill definitely finish the thing one day. Its not even that big of a project thing, i think i jst keep going to other drawings so im like not focusing on one thing lmao. Lucifer has heterochromia because he was cursed to forever be reminded of his betrayal. I only explained that because Charlie has it too, it's kind of a curse on the entire blood line where at least one eye is red. This is like. Slightly older Charlie than the baby Charlie in show? I jst wanted to put her in overalls cuz omg that's jst so cute ughhh 😭😭

"What if we met in 2069" 😳 @bearodyne gave me the idea to bring to life normal (as in not closed in a psychiatric hospital) 2069 Wiosna that was in her baby bat era, so Kurt wouldn't be so alone 😭 That would be such a disaster of a situation but I'm here for it lmao Did some quick pics, and the last one for comparison! Still working on young Kurt appearances, when I hit a milestone I will keep ya updated 😊
