I’ve also toyed with making a Varzim who actually did get un-horrorterrored without killing them, making them into a regular troll.

I have one character capable of that, I’d just have to figure out why Sazuud did it.

#normally you cannot do that without killing the starfish.#but Sazuud is far and away the most powerful pure troll I have. she’s insane #she’s also almost never on Alternia anymore.

@storydays @chamille-trash @valvalentine69

@!; Being the lover of the Techno tribe leader is an experience like no other. I'm being serious, Trollex is a big doofus at heart and he knows it, and while he's more tame in public when he's alone with you it all comes out. And while Trollex has the biggest heart you've ever seen, it's a blessing and a curse.

Standing at the bottom of the ocean was defiantly something new for you, and something you didn't exactly expect to experience - like ever. Nevertheless, you never thought you would experience standing under the ocean in the middle of a Techno rave. Trollex always gushed about them, speaking with such energy you were sure half the time he was going to explode. Yet, whenever he spoke with you about the raves there was always a common denominator that made him pause and cause him to stand still. You both knew that it was harder said than done, seeing as you were neither a Techno troll or that you could breath under water. And yet, after months of talking (and a lot of trust building as Trollex tried to find some way to make this happened) he finally did it! "You alright Starfish?" Trollex shouted over the blasting music towards you, taking off an earphone as he did so. You nearly missed his voice, despite standing right next to him as you still felt a little uneasy to join the rest of the Techno tribe on their dance floor. "Huh?" You shouted back, taking a moment to process what he said, "Yeah! It's just- it's weird!" A chuckled followed after your words, "Standing at the bottom of the ocean, listening to unmuffled music, dancing?" Trollex beamed towards you, dropping his headphones around his neck, "Yeah! You have to get used to it, but if you ever need a break let me now. I'll get Synth to take over for a moment so we can go to a quieter area."

@!; Honestly he has the biggest heart, loves you to death and will do anything to make sure you're happy and well. Furthermore, he will do anything to protect you. Other than his tribe, you're his number one priority and he won't ever let you forget that and will remind you constantly. Mostly shows his love through spontaneous actions! Such as grabbing your waist and hugging you tightly while twirling around, making a CD that is a mash-up of all your favorite songs (or your own songs), or just deciding that today was going to be you and him day. I feel like he shows a lot of his affection through physical contact and quality: hugs, cuddles, kisses, swimming together, listening to music, spinning disks, having you next to him during raves so he can steal kisses from you. Loves to also make you flustered. It's the cheekiness instead of him.

@!; Defiantly a family guy! Expect him to be home with you, and the children, when he isn't doing his leadership gigs. Also, expect there to be kids and at least 3-4 of them, and expect him to love and spoil them to death. Those are his babies and he will not let anyone harm them and he will make sure they're raised not only right but also with everything he could possibly give them. Though is defiantly the type to understand if you want fewer or more kids, or if you need time between each egg catching. he knows it's difficult to raise kids without him there all the time. And while he tries to be there all he can, running the Techno tribe is a lot of work and he can't always be there. But you'll be damned if he misses something important for his kids. Never, ever, will this man miss something for you or his kids. First dj session? There and he's their biggest fan. First steps? There. First glitter ball game? You know he's rocking their colors. Birthdays? His schedule his cleared on that day for decades. Somehow finds a balance between life and work to keep the tribe happy and safe while also being the best dad he can be.

@!; Big prankster and goofball. The type who, when he sees your sad, cheer you up either through cuddles or a well meaning prank. He loves you to death, and I will say this time and time again because it's true, and he doesn't want to see you upset or sad. It makes him sad! So he'll cheer you up with his second best medicine, laughter and smiles! The first is obviously raving.

"Hey starfish, can you come here?" Trollex called you from the kitchen of your shared home, causing you to lean your head back on the couch. You tried looking at him, or tried to get a hint of what he was doing. It was one of those days were all you felt like doing was nothing. You just wanted to lay on the couch and completely space you, looking at the wall for any sort of inspiration that would never come. It made your nose scrunch and your head hurt to think that your boyfriend could possibly think beckoning you from your current place of hibernation was a good idea. Though seconds later, after not seeing you budge, he called again, "I promise, it'll be good!" So reluctantly, you mustered the strength to push yourself off the couch and onto your feet. Despite how heavy your body felt, you pushed through it to enter the kitchen where Trollex stood all too suspiciously; His hands were behind his back and this big grin was spread across his face. You knew he was up to something but you couldn't guess what it was. "So.. I know that you're having a bad day." He started, trying to contain his excitement. "So I decided to get you a gift!"

Did the gift happen to be something you absolutely loved, and had been ranting to Trollex about anytime it had crossed your mind? Yes. But was it also a bitch to get out because Trollex used every box and paper bag and gift wrap you two had laying around to wrap it? Also yes. You were so sure that the gift wrap and the boxes and the bag would never end, but it got you laughing and smiling at how ridiculous the whole thing was. Trollex and you literally spent 15 minutes on the kitchen floor unwrapping it all, then another 5 minutes laughing your asses off about it.

@!; Overall, he's an amazing lover and I love him so much. He will give you up, he'll never let you down, he'll never run around and desert you. He'll never make you cry, he'll never say goodbye, he'll never tell a lie and hurt you. But he will rickroll you as a prank while playing around with his turntables, giving you your own private concert. And this man will absolutely cackle at your expression like the gremlin he is and apologize later.

@!; Being Synth’s lover is getting to know the Synth behind “Synth”; which is much more complex than the outward, rave-loving and happy-go-lucky person Synth is always described and known as. And sure, while you fell in love with that version of Synth, you couldn’t help but fall deeper for him the more you got to know him, and in turn he fell harder the more he realized you accepted him and the more he got to know you.

@!; You first met Synth at a rave, which you had been invited to by Poppy as an olive branch to get to know some Techno trolls. At first, you weren’t sure why she would invite you to such a loud event, knowing you were rather sensitive about noise and iffy about meeting new people, especially people from different tribes. Yet, you also knew it would be rather rude to decline the invitation. Not only because Poppy had asked you personally, but also because it was a party for another tribe and you weren’t sure how they reacted to declined invitations. You had feared they took it horribly, like if you declined it would mean you hated them or something along those lines. So, to not make anyone upset you decided to go.

And, as you had expected earlier, you kept close to the edges of the party and watched everyone else; Having even taken a seat upon the disco floor out of tiredness of standing for too long. Yet, you didn’t want to leave encase Poppy wanted to introduce you to someone, or if it would count as rude to leave before a rave had finished. So you stayed, despite the overwhelming feeling you got from being in such a crowded and loud environment. “Yo, Bro!” Someone shouted, and you had thought it was towards someone else. Seeing as you didn’t know who the voice was coming from and you were just sitting in a corner doing nothing interesting, you had little reason to think someone was calling to you. Yet the voice shouted, this time closer, “Yo! Hello!” and then you saw someone waving their hands in the background, which caught your attention rather quickly. It was a Techno troll you had seen before around Poppy, and a few other Trolls. While you never spoke to him personally, you knew a few things about him. Such as, his name was Synth and he was quite loud. At times, you were able to hear his voice from across Trollstopia, and it always caused a slight fright in you at the sudden noise. “Bro you okay?” Synth swam over to you, hanging upside down with glow sticks in hand and some hanging around his neck. You hadn’t known at the time how much this first interaction would change your life, how much Synth would affect you. All you knew is that you wanted to run and hide. You were glad you didn’t.

@!; Synth wasn’t the most emotionally aware troll there is, while you were exactly the opposite and were way too emotionally aware for your own well being. As such, you two were able to balance each other out. Synth helps you calm down from the stress and emotional pressure of carrying everyone’s troubles on your back and you help Synth by pointing out social cues and things he was overlooking in his fun-seeking ways. You both helped each other get more in touch with your friends and with each other. Synth usually helps you calm down, not by raving with a large group of Techno trolls (though he used to before you exploded to Poppy, not wanting to hurt Synth’s feelings and she told Synth) yet by having dance parties at your pod. Dance parties meaning it was only you and Synth with your feel-good songs and you two would either dance together or do something else like scrapbooking, cooking, baking, etc. Something he tries to sit down and help you through your emotions. At first he tried giving you suggestions, but they weren’t the best and he learnt to just let you get it all out. Something you didn’t even need him to listen to, you just needed him there.

@!; Cuddling with Synth means there’s always a nightlight nearby! Poor Synth is terrified of the dark, and it really troubled him to be in a room without any sort of lighting (which is how you figured out why he always carries glow sticks with him). At first, Synth tried to be strong for you and cuddle at night… but he didn’t even last 2 minutes before he yelled out in pure terror.

“What? What?!” You exclaimed, jumping up from your place in bed as Synth was just freaking out. You were just about to doze off when he had begun to do so, and you were sure he didn’t have a nightmare because he hadn’t even fallen asleep… or closed his eyes for that matter. You could see the purple glow of his eyes through your shut ones. Though Synth didn’t seem too keen on answering you straightly, as he just blubbered out, “What what? What who? What where? And sometimes-” “Synth.” But you cut him off, cupping his cheeks to make him look at you. To which he drew back a little, his eyes widening in shock for a split second before he became a ball of nerves. He laughed, nervous laughter. And you seemed to realize instantly what was happening with how frequently his eyes darted around the room, trying to look for something. You didn’t know he was afraid of the dark! “Synth you should have told me.” You would mumble before scrambling to turn on your bedside lamp, much to Synth’s relief.

From that day on you had a nightlight in your room for Synth.

@!; Synth gave you a rave name the first 3 hours he knew you and now that’s the only thing he decides to call you. You weren’t sure why he did so and when you asked Trollex or Laguna they just said that’s how he is. Trollex even shrugged. You’re stuck with it, so get used to it because he means that rave name with the up most endearment!! <3

@!; He’s a little hard in the head. Didn’t know you liked him until you told him out right and even then he didn’t understand and said he liked you too. You gave up and Trollex had to explain to him what you meant, to which he paused and shouted to you as you walked away, “I LOVE YOU!” To which Trollex stared at him with the most bewildered look and you got absolutely terrified.

@!; Has taken you water surfing and urchin acupuncturing if you’re cool with it! And if you need he’s here to hold your hand and help you through it. Has also shot water at you with his water powers. Was his hands in the shape of little guns? Yes. did he also say “pew pew” as well? Yes. Did you then also purchase a water gun to be able to do it back? Yup. And was Synth so shocked the first time he got pew-pew’ed with water back? Mhmm. But then did it dissolve into a huge water fight anytime you guys pew-pew’ed each other with water? Of course!

@!; Other than being scared of the water and being an avid raver, Synth sometimes struggles with self esteem issues; mostly, he fears that he’ll let people down and disappoint them. Which, when you first heard him explain, you were shocked to hear! You always thought Synth didn’t really care what other people thought of him, despite caring about people and their well being. You don’t know why you thought that way, but you just did.

“So that’s why I’ve been acting so off the past few days, yo.” Synth explained to you the whole fiasco about his cheerleading side-gig, which he did more for fun than anything else. Though Synth expected a slightly more emotional reaction out of you than other trolls, he didn’t expect to see you almost crying. “Yo, are you crying?!” “No! No, I’m fine!” Yet you only sniffled. “Bro… don’t cry because then I’ll cry!”

You and Synth connected on a deeper level that day, as you explained you also tended to feel that way around people. You both decided to make a pinkie-promise to be able to tell each other anything since that day. @!; I love Synth so much, 10/10 lover.

So you know the current trend of doing a short performance of whatever art they got taught as a child instead of some martial arts to “Let’s Get Loud” by Jennifer Lopez?

I can absolutely see the BatKids and the rest of the younger generation of the heroes doing this. I can see them doing a lot of TikTok/YT Shorts trends.

Dick and Stephanie leading the charge. Cass and Jason are both dramatic, artsy and trolls, they love it.

Tim gets forcibly dragged into it and eventually finds joy in the photography aspect.

Duke is vibing with his chaos siblings.

Damien refuses not to be the best at anything.

Jarro does his best but as a starfish alien it’s hard to do the moves designed for a human body. He does enjoy sending them back and forth with his family though.

The kids have two channels (in costume and out): one that’s PG13 and one for the legal adults to post stuff that’s on the sexier side. (You can’t tell me these dramatic shits wouldn’t have a thirst trap-ish channel that they do not let their underage siblings be on.)

They drag Bruce into it as a way of family bonding expecting him to fail… he doesn’t. Man has game. Please see the long list of exes in and out of costume.

“are you hurt?”

txt’s reaction when you fall down

• pairing: txt x reader humour

• warnings: injury, swearing, mentions of blood

• i’m open to requests!!

soobin 🐰:

• very dramatic— like, really dramatic.

• you accidentally fell on the way to your usual meet up spot where he’d wait for you so you guys could walk to school together.

• when he sees you walking up to him while dragging your other feet, his golly smile probably fades into a frown layered with a worried expression.

• rushes over to you and grabs your hand— checking your face for some reason even though you’re limping over to him..

• “are you okay? are you hurt? what happened?” his words can’t keep up with the thoughts in his mind as he squats down to check your injured leg.

• even though you try and insist that you’re fine, he’ll probably drag you (carefully) over to a nearby bench and sit you down, pointing a finger at you and telling you to wait with a stern voice even though you can clearly see the worry in his face.

�� he takes about 5 minutes to come back with a plastic bag in his hands, jogging back over to you urgently.

• “what happened?” he asks while getting on one knee, inspecting your red ankle, a little scrapped and bloody.

• you sheepishly giggle, embarrassed, “i fell cause i forgot to tie my shoelace..”

• literally pauses and deadpans, lifting his head up slowly to look at you, “how many times have i reminded you to tie your shoes?”

• he cleans it up carefully, handling you with so much care and acting as if your leg was a glass piece— so fragile in his hands.

• he’d finish it off by bandaging your leg with a cute pink bandage, huffing when he’s done.

“sorry..” you mumbled, looking away a little guilty, hands balled up on your knees.

“it’s okay.” he sighed, sitting beside you, wrapping his arm around your shoulder, leaning down slightly to match eye level, “just stop forgetting to tie them.. you do this everytime..”

“.. that was once.”

“thrice.”

“okayyy but i realllyyy don’t mean to..” you whined, turning your head to look at him, pouting.

“awwwww babyyyy it’s okayyyy,” he mocked you mirroring your pout, pulling his arm away to cup your cheeks, squishing them in the process.

• you guys ended up being late for school since you were limping all the way.

• he didn’t mind though, before reaching school grounds he placed a kiss on the top of your head, telling you to: “be more careful next timeee, okay?”

yeonjun 🦊:

• ngl would probably laugh out loud.

• the sight of you falling down in gym class was so hilarious to him.

• it was P.E class, and the teacher had assigned free time for 10 minutes. yeonjun thought it was a great idea to play basketball with you— that was until he was dribbling, telling you to guard him and you tried to— but fell in the process due to him playing around and trolling you.

• he would definitely gasp as soon as you hit the ground, slapping a hand over his mouth and letting go of the basketball in his hand.

• he didn’t start laughing— not yet even though you looked like a starfish sprawled out on the ocean floor with the way you just stayed face flat on the floor, not moving due to embarrassment.

• he’d start laughing when the ball he had let go of previously bounced onto your back— making you flinch before resuming your position.

• his laughter was so loud and contagious even his friends started laughing despite not even being included.

• he’d continue laughing, practically rolling on the floor, slapping it.

• bro would laugh for a good minute before actually going to help you.

• still giggly and with a golly smile, he’d reach over and tap you cautiously, biting back laughs, “a.. are you.. o-okay?..”

• seeing that you didn’t react, he squatted down, continuing to poke you, “i’m.. s-sorry..” he’d literally be stuttering because of how hard he tried to not laugh.

• the teacher probably noticed the commotion, walking over with a stunned look on her face, “is she okay?” she asked, pointing at you.

• “no.. can i take her to the nurse?” yeonjun would ask with such a giddy smile.

• with the teacher approval, he’d carry you on his back, giggling the whole way to the nurse’s office— up until he set you on the bed.

• the nurse is ready to attend to you, kicking him out but before he leaves, he’d bend down to your height and kiss your forehead, “sorry baby.”

• even though he apologized you can still hear his laughter as he turns the corner of the hallway, far away from the office.

beomgyu 🧸:

• he would also laugh out loud tbh..

• during break, he followed you outside to where you’d left your phone— in the outdoor field.

• would probably be on his phone gaming while trailing behind you— then he hears a grunt and a sound.

• he peeks over his phone, unable to find your figure until he looks down— and there you are, on your knees and hunched over.

• he’d laugh so obnoxiously, snapping photos of you while doing so— doing the most and going as far to slap his knee…

• “that was so funny!!” he’d yell through laughter, wheezing at this point.

• you turn behind to look at him, glaring but he can’t even see it— too busy laughing his ass off at a normal fall.

• “i just heard a thump and you’re on the floor!!” he’d struggle to speak, words airy and giggly.

• you’re so tired of his shit. you stand up and walk over to where you think your phone is, ignoring him trailing behind you slowly, struggling to walk.

• you swear you can hear his laughter echo in this outdoor area, so loud and clear.

• he’d probably show those pictures to your family, or send it to the group chat you both are in.

taehyun 🐿️:

• takes it seriously unlike the other three..

• even though he’d be giggling on the inside, he’d quickly rush to your aid, accidentally letting out fits of laughter but covering it up with coughs.

• you were outside, walking around a park with his cat.

• you’re the one holding the leash, and maybe his cat was feeling extra silly today. it ran in slight circles, going unnoticed to you until you trip over the leash that’s now tangled up with your feet.

• you’d try and stop the fall— but instead you just fell on your knees, hurting it more.

• luckily you fell on grass and not harsh concrete— if that were the case, taehyun would’ve taken it more seriously.

• he’d just gasp loudly, like an actual audible gasp, “.. are.. are you.. okay?..”

• you stay silent in embarrassment.

• bro would start scolding his cat to try and make you feel more comfortable.

• would squish his cats face gently, “why would you do that to her?” he’d scold with the softest high pitch voice.

• after his little session, he’d rush over to you, sitting you down on the grass to check your knees.

• he’d rub the dirt on your knees off with his hands, not minding the mud and soil, cleaning it off as best as he can while biting on his bottom lip, so obviously trying not to laugh.

• you’d notice, obviously, and sigh, “.. you can laugh.”

• he’s so shocked when you say that, pauses and looks up at you with the most hurt and guilty expression on his face, “i- i would never..”

• “you just laughed..”

• “i didn’t!” he’d try and defend himself so hard knowing damn well..

• after cleaning it off, he’d try and make his cat apologize to you— pointing at it accusingly, “apologize to her!”

• “it’s okay.. it’s just a cute cat.” you’d sigh, patting it.

• he’d feel so bad and make your favourite meal right after

huening kai 🐧:

• he’d giggle at first, like an evil, “MWAHAHA,” type shit

• watching you fall while trying to jump rope at home was probably the highlight of his month.

• the type to move back and forth while laughing, literally saying, “HA. HA. HA.”

• you’d try and recover from the fall, distraught yourself from the embarrassment.

• after he calms down, he’d tend to you, making sure you didn’t have any serious injuries.

• “you okay?” he’d ask through giggles.

• “.. don’t let me jump rope ever again.. okay?” you’d sigh, staring at him in betrayal as if he was the one that pushed you.

• “the way you fell.. your knees literally bent.” he’d go into details and embarrass you further, making himself laugh even louder and more than just now.

• he feels bad after, placing you onto the corner of the couch, placing a soft blanket over you and tucking you in, surrounding you with his plushies.

• bro would tend to every need, making sure you get everything you want.

• would watch you slowly fall asleep— feeling more guiltier for some reason.

• he’d wake you up, whispering a little, “im sorry.”

• would hug you to sleep and feel better

Trollex: wellllll I was wondering.... how'd you lose your ear?

Barb: *war flash backs* I don't actually remember (is clearly lieing)

Riff: when we were kids Barb fell into the volcano and lava bubeled up and splashed her ear and the doctors had to amputate it

Trollex: ...... And here I was thinking that rock trolls were heat/lava resistant

Riff: we are but we can't go in the lava until we're like 10

Trollex: ah I see

Hi friends! Thank you so much for your bay-tience. I am so --EXCIT--ED to share this!! It's tough being an heiress wishing for a kinder world for your people- and I just hope I can give them that someday!

(Cover Art by the lovely caballineToxophallic - go follow them, they're *amazing*!)

(Spoken)

Maybe Eridan's right

Maybe there is something the matter with me

I just don’t see why culling means we have to kill, and not heal

(Sung)

Look at my pets, aren’t they neat?

Wouldn’t you think my collection’s complete?

Wouldn’t you think you think I’m the troll, the troll who cares for everything?

Look at my hive, creatures untold

How many cuttlefish can these cages hold?

Looking around here you’d think- shore, she’s got everything.

I’ve got starfish and lobsters aplenty, There’s sea horses and oysters galore

See my mantis shrimps? I’ve got twenty!

But who cares, no big deal- I want more

I wanna see all my subjects thrive

I wanna see, wanna see them happy

Walking around on their- what do they call them again? Fronds?

Killing the weak is just not my jive

To cull should mean to heal and care for

Keeping them all so safe- away from all harm

Up where they walk, up where they run

Up where they stay away from the sun

Wanting to live, wish I could give (them)

A kinder world

It’d be my right, to spend the nights culling the infirm

It’d be my task, no questions asked, to love all the weak

Betcha on land, they’d understand

Bet they don’t reprimand their moirails

Bright young princess, heir apparent, ready to lead

And ready to show just what I know

I’ll tend all the lowbloods and be so helpful

I’ll serve them truly and redefine what it means to cull

When’s it my turn? Wouldn’t I love?

Love to take over that world up above?

Out of the sea

Wish I could lead

A kinder world

It has to be so lonely, stuck in your father’s empty tomb, all family and friends having died or abandoned you, spending your days punishing trolls and running away from weirdos who show up to kill you for no reason. They gave you a mask because while you were too lithe and feminine to be a son of the house, they still deemed your face too ugly to be a girl’s.

Oh Gwynnie, I have the strong suspicion you were not so bad to look at. After all, it’s Anor Londo, your brother in law is a starfish and your sister has a giant tail, so what if your feet are snakes?

Would you let me in just once, not to fight you but give you a hug, before I go kill your dad? I think we could both use one

Giant Monster Horror Movies

Exactly what it says on the tin: horror movies with big monsters. Ones I don't see recommended often, presented in ascending order of scale!

Gwoemul/The Host (2006): A mutant monster, born from American chemical pollution, emerges from the Han River to terrorize residents of a Korean city. The monster is a work of art, comparable in size to an elephant. Beautiful in the water and on land, it's a delight to watch in motion. It's reminiscent of a fish, a lizard, a xenomorph, and a metaphor for American imperialism, yet is still something all its own.

Monstrum (2017): Based on an anecdote from 1527 in the real Annals of the Joseon Dynasty! In the midst of a plague, a gargantuan monster stalks the mountains, and a retired general (alongside his found family) is sent forth to deal with it. A stunning, somewhat feline monstrosity plays the title role. This one's a bit heavier on the action, but the horror elements remain strong enough to land it on the list.

Sea Fever (2019): An Irish fishing trawler is stranded in the open ocean and discovers that there's something unusual in the water. Although most of the movie is intimate, taking place in the closed confines of the ship and focusing on relationships between characters, the full unveiling of the creature itself is still a moment of awe. Its entire body isn't seen, so its spot on the list is based strictly on what we do see. It's probably much bigger.

Troll Hunter (2010): A found-footage mockumentary about troll hunters in Norway. All of the trolls in this movie are BIG. But the grand finale is a mountain troll standing what might be a kilometer in height. Its roars shake the ground and it's like watching an entire hill chase after the car. Truly an experience that feels straight out of a myth, and worthy of watching on the biggest screen you can get.

Starfish (2018): A surreal story of a girl who wakes up to find that the world has ended, and her best friend may have known why. Truly a one-scene wonder, a colossus appears for a mere sixty seconds of awe near the climax of the movie. Beautiful and eerie, it doesn't roar or destroy things. Just marches forward. Its presence, like almost the entire movie, is inexplicable--but it's the visual I remember best.

Food for thought: How do these movies manage tension and drama as compared to horror movies focusing on monsters people-size and smaller? In a previous post, I discussed Godzilla (2014), Cloverfield (2008), and the concept of epic horror. What elements of a movie can turn a truly titanic creature into a horrifying creature, rather than an epic one? Can "epic" and "horror" coexist? How big does a monster need to get before it becomes less a living creature and more a part of the environment itself?
