Alphaswap - Tumblr Posts
Hello! Sorry for not responding in a long while! My mobile tumblr is going wack and I can’t reblog without it crashing, buuuuut now with full access on a laptop I can now respond with ease! ;)
But anyways we’re getting sidetracked, on with the reply!
I’m not too firm with my headcanons so it’s totally a-ok trying to expand it! :D I actually absolutely LOVE your ideas better! I will admit, I am not such an expert on the beforan timeline and it’s trolls, so, I just tried using the original murderstuck as a base and try fitting in as much plot points that represents the canon story better, thus kinda forgetting about personality aspects more. So, I’m thankful you actually responded since I think I screwed up some of the roles a lot XD
Anywho, while thinking about your proposed headcanons, I tried brainstorming for ways to expand them and somehow connect them to my proposed headcanons, sooooo here we go:
First, although Kurloz never “snapped”, he was pushed to Calliope’s side somehow, he didn’t completely started evil. However, he did swore his allegiance to Lady Harley already during the beginnings trolls session, he will still have Meulin as a matesprit, and, I think that somehow with Damara and future him’s interference with the timelines it triggered his nightmare (the same as open bound), causing Meulin’s deafness and him growing distant with the group, later in the meteor finally sewing his mouth after killing Meulin and Horuss, sealing his allegiance to Lady Harley. I would be glad if you expand this further since, I am having trouble with “why” he was actually pushed to Lady Harley’s side, and what caused his nightmare which ended up destroying Meulin’s hearing.
I think Aranea destroying the matriorb is brilliant! Think about it this way; Aranea witnessing Cronus’s breakdown, mind controlling him, and effectively framing him. However she didn’t expect Latula to successfully kill him, so she needed to rethink her plan, and attempt to put down Latula since her mind powers can successfully counter her plans, only to be stopped by Meenah.
Also, I now have a greater headcanon on Cronus’s quadrant drama, how about instead of Latula it is Mituna who’s his Morail! And he grew scared when Mituna started feeling red for Latula and breaking off their moraillegiance, causing Mituna to hate him even more. So the drama spirals down from there. OK I do know how you feel for that ship so I will assure you I don’t think this will ever go CroTuna, this will be strictly moraillegiance that ended up spiralling out of control.
And I think that Aranea’s relationship with Meenah shouldn’t be at all like canon beforus, and be much like Terezi and Vriska, with much hatred with each other despite remaining friends. And with that conflicting ideologies I think it will be Meenah whom end up killing her instead, making it that Kankri’s act of killing her later, really signifies how Kankri becomes the group’s new leader.
I don’t think Mituna shall die, he will attempt to sacrifice himself, sure but I think it should be Damara instead who’ll do it, this can be like a redemption arc for her, though she will end up dying from Porrim first, I guess this might trigger her God Tier, using her abilities to send the meteor in it’s right course once again from Lady Harley’s orders. Mituna would then continue on the 3 year journey, yet now with a crippling brain damage, and a probably abusive morailegiance with Kurloz (the Terezi x Gamzee version of this universe)
Speaking of Kurloz, I still think Mituna should shoos pap him or something XD
I guess that’s everything. I’m open for suggestions on how to expand this, but, I hope my new ideas help :)
My Murderstuck idea dump
I’m absolutely LOVING this AU, gives the fandom a reason to survive I’ll say XD. Soooooo I thought I should also go try brainstorming some ideas I thought of in regards to this fanon ;) Particularly my most favorite story arcs of the series Murderstuck!!! (*evil smile*)
So without further ado….
Murderstuck:
- I have a few ideas on how this might play out. First of I’ll list down the ones whom I believe shall start the killings in no particular order…
Damara kills Rufioh
Cronus attempted to kill Mituna
Cronus kills Porrim
Latula kills Cronus
Meulin kills Horuss
Kurloz kills Meulin
Porrim kills Damara
Aranea kills Meenah (Or possibly the other way around???)
Kankri kills Aranea/Meenah
Ok so that’s how I think it’ll go, but of course I need to expand upon how and why it exactly happened.
- Damara I think finally snaps after Meenah manipulated her or something, fueling her anger on Rufioh, like what’s recounted on Open Bound. I think a little bit before actually having contact with humans she’s actually working on screwing with the troll’s session already as instructed by Doc Scratch, before going ala [s] make her pay on both Meenah and Rufioh, where she paralyzed Rufioh and fought Meenah, causing both of them to die and go God Tier. Back to Murderstuck, Damara finally decided to kill Rufioh, kinda like Vriska did to Tavros.
- Cronus also probably snapped after a failed relationship with Latula (courtesy to @furrylatula for that idea) and confronted them about joining Bec Mendicant since she probably would’ve appreciated him better than any of his friends. He fought against Mituna which exhausted all his Psiionic powers and knocking him out. He would then destroy the Matriorb and kill Porrim (though she would survive thanks to becoming a rainbow drinker), which Latula would see, get enraged at, and charge at him. Although Cronus has the upper hand with power, Latula’s mind powers caused her to predict his moves, successfully killing him. After realizing what she’s done, she would’ve probably run away in grief, to be seen once again later on the Latula, Kurloz, and Damara confrontation later on.
- Kurloz must have snapped kinda the same way as Gamzee, I kinda think it’s also due to Damara ruining the timeline though any other reason is fine, and went to control Meulin just like how he does on Open Bound. He used Meulin to make death threats to Kankri similar to how Gamzee did it to possibly clear him of suspicion, though Kankri immediately knew it was him thanks to his Seer of Blood powers and obvious change with the typing quirks. He would then use Meulin’s current Morailegiance with Horuss to force Meulin to kill him, causing Meulin to immediately snap out of her trance and she grieve what she did, not even noticing Kurloz when he ended her misery.
- I’m honestly not too sure on what’s going to happen with Aranea and Meenah as all of these are going on. Aranea would probably go all detective crap kinda like Terezi (possibly influenced by Jane), while Meenah just wants to kill who she thinks is responsible (aka. Damara), however the suspicions later started falling on Meenah, causing a confrontation between both of them, it ends with either of them dying, since I thought either deaths fit well actually, however I’m leaning a bit more on Aranea killing Meenah though, since Damara did snapped thanks to her causing all this bullcrap to happen.
- A confrontation between all three killers (Latula, Damara, and Kurloz) will commence, until Porrim decided to ruin their party. She knocks Latula out, kicks Kurloz in the balls, and kills Damara (although I’m not sure about this….)
- While all of this is going on, Kankri’s Seer of Blood powers are probably gonna start to act up now, plaguing him with visions of deaths of his most of his friends. After the whole fiasco with Latula, Damara, and Kurloz mostly taken care of by Porrim, Aranea/Meenah would choose to confront Bec Mendicant now, if it is Aranea it’s kinda like what she did on [S] Game Over where she did what she did for a benevolent reason, or if it’s Meenah, pretty much the same with Vriska I think. Kankri would be the one to confront them, since I think that as a Seer he would fit in this role. Though, I don’t think he’d willingly choose to kill Aranea/Meenah, something must have happened to force him to do it, like maybe Aranea/Meenah chose to mock his blood color or something???
- And finally, Kurloz gets shooshed papped by non other than Mituna XD I thought it was supposed to be Kankri but I changed my mind after realizing THEY WERE MORAILS ALL ALONG! At least on Openbound, and unlike with Meulin, there doesn’t seem to be any negativity with Mituna and Kurloz’s relationship. Soooo I think that would work.
Overall, I guess that’s all of Murderstuck??? I’m still not too sure about some of my plot points but overall I think it’s good :D I think I’ll do Dramastuck later on, but all in all, I hope you enjoyed this :D Keep up this awesome AU OK!!! ;DDDD
Hee hee sorry :P I like that pairing XD but if you don't it's fine :D
(Psssst, I'm a more JohnVris/Spider8reath type of person)
jane x rose for the retcon instead of john x roxy?? (i love janerose but nobody ships it and this au is a perfect opportunity aaaaa)
whispers there will be no parallels to john/roxybecause john/roxy is gross (full offense)Jane/Rose is cute tho just dont compare it to john/roxy
-Mod Callie has gotten 2 (two) asks about johnroxy in this au today
How about this:
John - Hates being kept under the control of Crockercorp and his destiny to become it’s Heir, however lacks the confidence to actually fight it. I think it’s probably because he’s trying to be more “mature” like his father, though it ends up with him being less independent.
Rose - Is almost always in speculation, there’s always tons of secrets she’s trying to explore, and tons of personal problems she’s trying to fix to the point that she’s becoming a bit “selfish” and too preoccupied of her self, leaving her friends “in the dark” which isn’t really a quality a Seer, let alone a Light player should have.
Jade - I believe she’s like the Roxy of this session so she’s very lonely, a Space player must actually embrace their solitude in order to fully master their aspect, but she doesn’t want to. She would rather be constantly socializing with her friends and fixing their problems while ignoring hers. So basically she’s the opposite of Rose.
Dave - Being the Jake of the group on my previous theory, this version of Dave lacks the sense of timing canon!Dave has. With that, he is oblivious as to when to act and when to do the right thing until it’s too late. I actually think he isn’t as talented as canon!Dave was, or at least doesn’t believe in his skills like him.
I hope you like it! :D
One of the main concepts in the alpha timeline was that each player lacked the aspect of their godtier, and I was wondering how this would apply to the beta kids in their new situation? It would be time player with no time, a breath player without confidence and/or freedom, a light player left in the dark, and a space player lacking either actual physical space or that creative spark that’s so essential to space players. How do you think this would apply in the greater sense and manifest in their situations with the beta kids?
: luke-starwalker
that is a very good question…
would any of our followers like to put in their ideas on how this could be a thing??
-mod roxy
HOLY CRAP YES!!! O_O
So I dont know if you read my last message but our aus are very similar and it would be nice to share ideas. Anyways please message me if you want to put our heads together! - Blaise
Yess!!!! I would love to. Shoot me a message over my personal blog @golgothasterrorizing, and we can chat it up tomorrow! I’m quite tired right now though, anxiety attacks can take a lot out of a fellow.
-Mod Jake
That’s GENIUS!
But does that mean John hates being an heir or not? Because it’s kinda a headcanon of mine, and I don’t know about you.
If it’s Gamzee that’s our version of Condesce, can I propose that a lot of his product be clown based? Reason why John hates it so much? I kinda think that fits.
Hello, it’s Mod Jane again!
I’ve been thinking about this whole Egbertcorp scenario, and I think I found a solution.
In Homestuck canon, Nanna Egbert was groomed to be the Condesce’s heiress, to lead Betty Crocker as an evil capitalist force. She was able to escape the Condesce’s clutches, however, and starts her own joke shop, Prankster’s Gambit.
What if we turned this on its head for Alphaswap?
Poppop Crocker is groomed to be the heir of whatever form the Condesce takes. However, it is not a baking empire he would be inheriting, but an empire of pranking. He manages to escape, and starts his own bakery.
Thus, Jane Crocker in Alphaswap is not the heiress to a malevolent corporate giant, but to a small, humble baking business. However, this business was destroyed by the meteor she came to Earth on, so she makes it her life dream to rebuild it and restore the Crocker name.
John Egbert, then, is the heir to Egbertcorp, which covers up its hideous schemes with goofy slapstick humor.

Wooooooooo!
Alphaswap: First Pesterlog
Hello, it’s me, Mod Jane!
Mod Roxy and I did a little RP just now using the first Pesterlog as a template, and here are the results of that! It’s short, but we hope you enjoy!
– transGnostalgic [TG] started pestering eclecticBaker [eB] –
TG: hey janey! so what kinda rad loot didja score?
EB: I got an Arrested Development poster! It’s so lovely. I should really give the series a rewatch. I can only go so long without witnessing the hilarious hijinks of Dr. Tobias Funke.
TG: aint that one of ur blue bois jane?
TG: i looked him up and he isnt blue
TG: whats ur game here, jane
EB: Well, duh, he’s not always blue!
EB: He just blue himself!
EB: :B
EB: (That was a quote.)
TG: wait. so ur sayin if any random 40-somethin dude poured coral blue #3 all over his body, youd be hottie 4 that body
TG: is that what ur sayin jane
EB: Him being blue has NOTHING to do with it! You must be mistaking me for our good chum GT.
EB: No, no. With Mr. Funke, it isn’t his cobalt finish that makes him so attractive.

ive got the coolest idea
so alphaswap cronus, after snapping and going after mituna (and getting sushi’d by latula) ends up in the dream bubbles, disillusioned and desperate for smthn to believe in
gamzee pops R I G H T up and initiates him into the lady english cult with kurloz
