Is the starting location for this AU Sizzlin' Sands, Scorched Gorge, or somewhere else? Also, would Cinnasnail be the mascot or Strabby?

I've been meaning to get into more detail about the geography of the AU, so I'm glad this ask gives me the chance to do so. I quickly whipped up a map of what I think it'd look like in the AU:

Not only are the characters swapped, but the geography is swapped to. For example, the story starts in the Sizzlin' Sands, and the climax is in the Boiling bay. Some characters and their locations remain the same (i.e: Triffany and Cromdo are still in the Scorched Gorge), while others are different (i.e: Chandlo and Snorpy are now in the Simmering Springs).

For story reasons, the Boiling Bay is its own separate island similar to Broken Tooth. In Lizbert's interview, she mentions that while she and Eggabell were out exploring, an Earthquake caused the Boiling Bay to break off from Snaktooth.

And as for the mascot question, yeah, I'd say Cinnasnail is this AU's designated mascot. Sticky fandom make some noise

Flooftix: "Shellsy, did you tell Filbo to throw acid at you?"

"WELL, I'M SURPRISED MY TIME WASN'T WASTED ON THIS. I WILL BE LEAVING NOW. PERHAPS I WILL ASK YOU FOR HELP AGAIN." "...a simple 'thank you' could've sufficed, you know."

Legends say that whenever I draw backgrounds, Hailey's Comet passes by...

are character asks still open?

Yep! They’re usually always open unless specifically stated otherwise. I just haven’t really gotten around to answering some just yet. Mostly a mix of being busy with writing the responses, school starting again and midterms being around the corner, and them good ol’ Brain Issues acting up. Feel free to send one! It may take me a while to get around to it, but I’ll make sure to get some ‘em answered.

“Canon style Bugswap characters aren’t real, they can’t hurt you”

Canon Style Bugswap Characters:

#my art #this is definitely rough around the edges so no main tags #so here’s the context #I wanted to try and edit-trace-kind-of Filbo’s model to practice drawing in the canon style #mostly because I’ve been thinking about making individual character references #the results? they’re… results I can say that much

I'm curious... Does Clumby in this AU wears Alegander's sweater but with a different color?

Hmm, no I wouldn’t say so. I think she’d have the same sweater.

Originally, I was considering giving her a brown sweater for it to stick more with her color scheme, but I thought back to Alegander’s design. He has black fur and he wears a orange sweater vest, and the contrast works nicely in his favor. So I decided to give her a black sweater vest to contest her orange fur. Orange and yellow is a nice color pallet I don’t see used all too often, so I wanted to make the most of it!

I quickly whipped up this little doodle that can serve as a temporary reference until I have enough energy to make fully-fleshed out references for the secondary characters (including her, Alegander, and Griffith). Hopes this answers your question!

I'm really curious to ask this. How is Buddy's relationship like with Egg and Liz?

Sure hope that Emotional Repression™️ doesn't catch up to good ol' Ripley...

OKAY GUYS SECOND OPINION TIME. I know I already tweaked Chandlo’s design by giving him braces but how do we feel about Snorpy with a Hawaiian shirt. Been fiddling with the idea and I kinda like it

#my art #yes I know I forgot his shirt design who give a shit #fun fact. this Snorpy design is just me projecting all my gender desires onto Snorpy #also I just realized that is a movie not a game but for the sake of me being to replace it imagine he’s offering to watch it with you

Finished updating the pinned post! Give it a read whenever's good for you.

Welcome to Bugswap, a Bugsnax AU about everyone’s favorite thirteen-strong expedition, except something’s not quite right. Please read this post in full before sending asks, to avoid asking an already answered question.

LAST UPDATED: 12/9/23

I think the title of the AU alone is pretty self-explanatory (well, it's a swap AU, so that's presumably pretty straight-to-the-point, isn't it?), so I'll reserve this about section as being a general quick-guide to references and other important information.

Character Profiles and References (exactly what it says on the tin)

Interviews (mock-ups of interviews based off of the ones in-game)

“Ask the Cast” Posts (character centered interactive posts a la ask blogs)

Asks are always open, however, please view this section first before you send asks.

"What do the characters sound like?"

This post is a pretty good outline of how the cast is supposed to sound in the AU.

"How does [so-and-so] and [so-and-so]'s relationship work in this AU?"

These posts cover most of the basics: Shellsy and Chandlo's Relationship Flooftix and Snorpy's Relationship Triffany and Wiggle's Relationship Lizbert and Eggabell's Relationship

"How does the Isle of Bigsnax DLC play out in the AU?"

Although I haven't yet made a proper post and plan to explain how it's done in AU, these posts help get the general idea across: Post One (disregard outdated designs) Post Two (disregard outdated designs) Post Three

"What's the deal with Clumby and Alegander?"

These posts go into further detail regarding the two: Post One Post Two Post Three Post Four As of right now, I don't have references for their designs and character bios, but I hope to make some in the foreseeable future.

"Is it alright to make fan content for your AU (fanart, dubs, etc)?"

ABSOLUTELY! All I ask is you tag me in your post so I can see it.

I have a Discord server dedicated to the AU. However, it is invite-only and 15+. If you're interested and of age, ask me off-anon or DM me for the invite.

My main blog is @ojamajodoremisharp, and my primary Bugsnax blog is @snorpdawg.

That's everything! Enjoy the blog!

Speaking of the pinned post, I’m also planning on making a section for frequently asked questions, namely to avoid having to repeat myself when answering asks.

If anyone has general questions about the AU (I don’t necessarily mean like stuff about the AU lore, I mean stuff about the AU itself), now’s a great time to ask. If I get enough of one specific question, I’ll add it onto the FAQ.

#text #I can never remember which is my tag for text posts… oh well
