Favorite troll headcanons? CW: Possible body horror.

[astrivid]

I'm very much into troll headcanons that make them look a lot more alien than human. Claws, different textured skin (ex. lightly furred, thick leathery skin, smooth, ceramic, sandpaper-ey, etc), eye shapes, bone structure, muscle structure, etc. You can go pretty overboard with sea trolls especially. 

I find it pretty boring when people simply say 'Its not that hard, I mean the comic is visual.' Yes but it's also done in a simplistic cartoonish style and many of the canon interpretations of these characters can vary. Also have you seen Aradias horn consistency? I'll come up with my own headcanons thank you. Plus they're bug-like if you think about it. Grubs start out as worms, and they turn into these weird humanoid creatures, and can grow wings. There's a lot you can do with that. Plus ideas of them adapting to how their lussi look float around sometimes. 


Have some fun with your made up weird alien species.

Chitilin!!! So we know that trolls have some insectoid traits, and one headcanon I really like is trolls having patches of chitilin in places that need some kind of protection, and because of the nature of chitilin, these chitilin scales can come in many forms!

Kanaya, for instance, would have feathery strands of chitilin over her shoulders, kind of like a moths, while Terezi's chitilin patches are more lizard like, like a dragon's!

Pretty much anything in this fanfiction. (It's NSFW as balls and also got some potentially triggering content so read the tags)

I'm a huge xeno-fan lmao, but I play Cronus almost exclusively so most HCs are focused on highbloods. My favourites are probably growing really huge but also really slow, rubbery and hairless skin, pupils that can dilate from tiny dots to almost covering the entire eye, multiple rows of teeth (for seadwellers), and ridiculous strength. Like, will bruise you if he's not careful when he hug you-levels.

And also all about this fanfiction. (Not explicit, but heavily NSFW-implied)

Not personally a huge fan of bioluminescence, though.

Yes I love skin headcanons!! I normally use chitin as a replacement for calluses. So instead of thick skin like humans they have chitin where they'd grow calluses!

@peridot Oh! Sorry! I didn't know which section to put this in.

[astrivid]

How do you get the @ thing to work?

[Dave Strider]

astrivid : you've got to @ their account name, not the username! to see the account name, check their profile. for exemple to @ Peridot, you have to type @ admin (without space break)
