Frick it, we ball
KISMET HEADCANNONS for some future fan stuff I wanna make... Goes with this post kinda
Under a cut because it's LONG (the fixation has been REAL)
Gen
They band was formed shortly after the events of Trolls 1. It's the only way they make sense in my mind's timeline.
Branch was trying to get more involved with Troll village without relying on Poppy to connect him with people. He formed his own group of friends, and they became Kismet after realizing how much they enjoyed harmonizing/performing together.
These guys give me frat boy energy for some reason. They just collectively become more chaotic when they're around each other. Yes, even Branch. He and Hype play hot potato with the braincell because otherwise, nothing would get done in this group.
As they got to know one another, teasing one another became their primary love language. Lots of jabs and quips will fly among them when they're together, but they each know it's all in good fun.
Branch
Branch kept his involvement in the band a secret because, well...y'know. He has complicated history with being in a boyband, so he wanted to explore his feelings about Kismet without being bombarded with input from people outside the group.
He's fond of his friends and genuinely enjoys being a part of the band though! He just wants to be sure he's a part of this boy band because he's happy being with them and not because he's trying to recapture something he'd lost 20 years ago.
At first, the others were (understandably) hurt by Branch's desire to keep his place in the band a secret, but after he explained his reasons, they were willing to support him.
They were absolutely thrilled when he finally becomes open about the band though!
During the secrecy period, when he performs in Pop Village, he hides his identity behind a disguise that somehow works (Branch, every time it works: "wtf????"), and he goes by a stage name.
Hype
Officially the group leader, but he's more of a mediator than anything. He relies on the rest of the group to give their input for any big band decisions, but he coordinates band meetings, schedules gigs, and works out compromises if there's any group conflicts.
He and Branch had been childhood friends before The Incident(s) estranged them. Back in the Troll Tree, they'd been neighbors whose parents (Branch's grandma; Hype's mom) set up on frequent playdates, so they'd been really close.
They reconnected after the events of movie 1, Hype introduced Branch to Trickee and later Boom. Trickee brought in Ablaze and the rest was history.
Hype is a social butterly but he's otherwise one of the more calm personalities in the group. He feeds off of other people's energy and is a bit of a people-pleaser. Luckily, he's pretty good at finding the right crowd to run with, otherwise he'd probably land in so much trouble.
Boom
Hype's cousin, and a big party person! Before the band took off, he DJ'd at a party venue in Pop Village. That same place was also where Kismet got their first gig!
He loves loud music and flashy parties where he can shine on the dance floor and make memories people he may only know for a night.
Peak ADHD Energy™. He's a chatterbox. He has no volume control. He tunnel visions so hard, he becomes that B99 headphones meme. The man has cool guy syndrome, no doubt about it!
For the creation of the Band earliest albums, Boom took charge as the producer. He loves messing with music, mixing and remixing sounds on his free time and experimenting with the genre.
Trickee
A thrill-seeking menace to society. He's adventurous and loves taking huge risks for the adrenaline rush. He's the type of guy who would go down a waterfall in a barrel or ski down a dangerous mountain just to see if he survives it.
Everyone in the band is in agreement about protecting Trickee from his own shenanigans. They are 70% of his self-preservation senses.
He also loves a party scene and can often be found with Boom leading the charge towards any good time.
You know that sense of dread before performing in front of a crowd? The way your belly flips and your heart races and you're sure you're shaking hard enough for everyone to see? Trickee lives for that shit when he's in the band. The jitters can get to him, for sure, but afterwards, the man is LIVING from coming out alive on the other side, and he's sharing that thrill with everyone else in the band!
Ablaze
A Rock Troll who has lived among the Pop Trolls since he was a teenager. He stumbled across them while looking for a place to belong, and despite what he was raised to believe about Pop Trolls, he came to love their warmth and friendliness. So he moved in and let everyone assume he was just an odd-looking Pop Troll.
He an Trickee are housemates (podmates?)--not for romantic reasons but because they're longtime friends. When Trickee moved out of his family's home, Ablaze invited him over, and they liked the living arrangement enough to keep it permanent.
At first, Ablaze isn't open about his identity as a Rock Troll, but as he grew closer with the other members of Kismet, he came out to them. By the events of Trolls 2, he's open about being a Rock Troll.
Ablaze's personality sits somewhere in the realm of both chaotic and laid back. On the outside, he's usually pretty chill, but if Boom or Trickee have trouble afoot, Ablaze is usually there egging them on in the background, much to Branch's dismay.
He becomes extremely energetic when he's performing. The more exciting the song, the more vibrant he becomes! The energy is one of the reasons he loves pop music so much, but he can also get hyped from performing rock music. He gets kinda intense though lmao.
The first time the rest of Kismet sees him jamming to rock, they're like "OH. He's definitely a rock troll O_O" They support their rock-n-roll brethren 🤟😔
He has a special interest in fire, particularly fireworks. Back in Pop Village, he even made a business of it, making small rockets, sparklers, and other celebratory items for all your Pop party needs.
Anyway that's all the headcannon stuff I'll share for now. Hope y'all liked reading xD I'm really hoping my attention span will stick around long enough for me to share more in the future, because this fixation has been A Time™/pos

Hey, I don't mean to be a bother, but are you gonna add the nightmare squad into the Stein Family AU? It seems like they've been forgotten by most of the fandom, and I am just a curious wolf. Btw, the nightmare squad is just my nickname for Chester, Gaskette, Canoodle, and Dewey.
A’ight so! I have been thinking about this question since I read it two Mondays ago at 6 am, and the game plan had been to draw my answer for you
So Imma just write my answer instead
…
Yes.
Yes I will.
Read under the cut to learn moooore
So timeline wise, the toons start popping up at around 1930, but Henry at this point in the timeline wouldn’t be able to create the nightmare dudes until later when he actually knows HOW he’s bringing the toons to life (the main three were easy to unconsciously make for reasons I hope to elaborate on later). He’d probably bring them to life around 1937-’40.
I don’t really know how Gasket would adapt into the studio since the toons are still a secret to the outside world and the studio in the Stein Family au is not as wide and maze-like. Gasket just doesn’t have the space to drive around the place unless he shrinks to the size of a toy car (toons can shrink or grow at will, but how well/long they can hold an off-model size is largely tied to their emotions and whatever gag/situation they’re in at the moment).
If anyone has suggestions for him, I’m all ears.
Dewey takes a real shining to Linda (she is kind, intelligent, and diligent in any work she takes on, and she’s a good Toon Mom), so he likes to spend time with her during and off of work hours. Since she manages the business part of the animation company, Dewey likes to help her keep stuff organized. Paperwork, scheduling, tracking resources, stuff like that, he’s clever with, and when Linda doesn’t have work he can help her with, Grant welcomes Dewey’s sharp eye for numbers just as much. He likes the quiet spaces in the studio, so if he’s not being a busy body, he’s probably chillaxing somewhere crowd-free with a good book in his hands (what a mood, my dude).
Chester has pretty much become the studio’s walking lost and found station. If an employee has lost something, there’s a 99.99% chance that Chester has it (though whether he took the item or he found it while looking for lost items is up for debate). He has no problem putting the concerned employee’s mind at ease about whether or not he has their lost item, but the likelihood of said employee getting their thing back is entirely dependent on two questions: (1) how shiny or valuable was the item you’d lost? and (2) can you find Henry or Linda before Chester finds a hiding place to camp out in for the rest of the week?
He thinks he’s doing right by making sure the lost thing will never get lost again, but the truth is, you’re probably never gonna see that thing again if you don’t act fast.
He is a treasure chest. What else might you expect from him?
If all else fails, call Bendy and he’ll happily steal back whatever Chester has stolen – given you pay him a 5 cents.
Chester also keeps all kinds of important stuff for the Steins such as the deed to the studio, some family heirlooms, and Linda’s jewelry.
Canoodle ngl had also eluded me for a while. I feel like he and Wally would get along real well. Canoodle is a pretty serious dude from what I can tell, and Wally’s basically an immature kid, so it makes for a nice straight man-goofball duo that turns into basically those cartoon bits where a toon gets into shenanigans while trying to babysit a kid while there are death traps at every corner.
With Canoodle apparently running a dump in the cartoons and Wally being a janitor, Canoodle helps out Wally while he cleans and does maintenance around the studio. They’re surprisingly effective cleaners, but when it comes to replacing a lightbulb, well…
Thomas has made an effort to teach Canoodle and Wally the proper way to do tasks like that so Henry doesn’t have to call him in as much, but one of them’s prone to slapstick shenanigans and the other is Canoodle, a toon. Watching them fix shit, either together or solo, stresses Thomas out.
By the time the nightmare squad joins the family, Henry and Linda have raised Bendy long enough that he knows better than to push his luck too far when ticking the guys off. But Bendy will be Bendy, so they are not completely free of him and his pranks. However, the slapstick stays underneath the basically-a-homicide radar, and the throwing of axes and bricks stay at a minimum for the safety of the studio employees.
Sooooo.
Yeah :)
#tenchiko has spoken#batim#stein family au#nightmare squad#discussion#thank you for the question btw#if anyone else has any questions about my au feel free to ask#I don't have much time to draw answers but I'll type out answers that I feel can go without a doot

Sonic Underground Redesign #3: Sonia
I can explain under the cut
So when I started drawing Sonia, I’d tried drawing her as close to her cartoon design as possible, but because I am using a style that aligns closer to the modern Sonic style, it didn’t mix that great.
I tried to alter the design a pinch which led to more alterations as I kept going, and after a long, long time of discontent drawing, I got frustrated and just decided “Screw it. I’m just gonna hafta make a new design from scratch, aren’t I???” Which kinda bites because I’ve seen a lot of people adapt her design into their style nicely, but I guess it be like that sometimes.
Outfit: When I was making her new outfit, I had some key phrases I kept in mind: Sporty, feminine, and 90s-esque. Sonia’s whole thing is that she’s the girly one among her siblings, so I wanted to preserve that idea, but at the same time, I wanted her to have an outfit that she could easily fight and smash robots in. Sonic Underground was made in the late 90s and I’m putting her at 13 years old, so I wanted to keep those ideas in mind as well when putting together her appearance.
Seven+ concept drawings later, I’m really happy with what I came up with.
I tried to preserve her clothes’ old palette at first, but the red and purple blended too much with her fur and quills. I want to be able to squint at a distance and separate each hue from the other without undermining the way the color combination blends, so I took the old clothing palette and made it more pastel. This way, she has a balance between dark and light hues separating her body from her clothes.
Bracelets: I took her belt from her old design and converted it into her bracelets (they match on both wrists)
Quills: I tried to keep her quills as close to her original design, and I really like the shape a lot. I couldn’t make her quills brighter than the rest of her fur without it looking tacky (seriously, other artists, who do you guys do it???) but maybe I’ll give her highlights in the future or something. For now, though, I like the way her fur palette looks. :)
Shoe logo: Yes, it is a nod to her medallion

Ok So This is A Little Venty-ish
OKAYYYYY So.
Uhhh
I am knee-deep in the Sonic fandom after--I don’t even know -- SEVEN+ YEARS (???) of radio silence, aaaaaand I have come up with this cool ask blog/sonic au idea thing, and I want to post about it, but my anxiety is telling me I can’t because all the people following me on my art blog are into batim so I can’t post non-batim shit on my own blog, and it’s really hard for me to remind myself that I’m not being paid to make fandom-specific content for my artblog followers because it’s MY blog where I can post as much of MY choice of content as I want.
So anyway.
TL;DR I have non-batim content I want to post; I’m GOING to post that non-batim content; but that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna be making batim stuff anymore, period.
It’s my blog and I can post whatever I want whenever I want to, and my anxiety needs to stfu
#not art#DO NOT REBLOG#tenchiko has spoken#I just want to get this off my chest and share my thoughts before I post some stuff#still have that stein family comic but haven't been feeling the mojo rn#it's been drafted but put on the sidelines since I've been spending the past month or so learning how to draw sonic characters and schmuck

Ok So Here’s My Sonic AU Idea Thing
I can’t come up with a drawing to open the conversation with, so have this text post instead.
This is just for context so things’ll make sense when I start posting some stuff later.
(Putting it under the cut to conserve space)
It’s a re-write of the Sonic Underground storyline with a few alterations. For one, it actually ties into the events of the Archie comics (up to Issue #50-ish since that’s about as far as I ever got in the comics).
Also, I’m saying the comics because I’ve never watched the cartoon which, apparently, roughly followed the comic’s plot
It’s also sort of a bridge or transition between the classic sonic games and the modern Sonic games, so it precedes the events of the Sonic Adventure games but comes after all the games that were shown in the comics (I think Triple Trouble was the last one before issue #50 happened?).
Honestly, I’m just adding changes that I really wish had been done in the Sonic Underground cartoon, and I’m tightening the storyline to be more plot driven. Here are a few of those ideas, since I don’t really know how to draw them right now but I still wanna share them.
World Building
Mobius is a continent that’s been divided between two mobian nations: South Mobius (which had been ruled by Queen Aleena) and North Mobius (King Acorn’s country).
That means that yeah, Knothole, the Freedom Fighters, and all of those comic-based locations are limited to North Mobius.
The Freedom Fighters are not affiliated with South Mobius. It was really weird for me to hear reference to the freedom fighters in SU even though the characters that I associated that term with (Sally, Bunnie, Antoine, Rotor, etc) never made an appearance. South Mobius has its own rebel organization, the Underground Rebellion—or just the Underground for short.
Since Mobotropolis is a part of North Mobius, South Mobius’s capital is called Monarchy City—renamed Anarchy City when Robotnik took over
Plot
In order to conserve the comic storyline, Sonic was a part of the Freedom Fighters, but he left post-issue #50′s events and after learning about his heritage (from the Oracle).
There are no magic instruments because they were silly and I can’t figure out how to integrate them into the plot, but they still mess with music to some degree
Tails is a part of the group. He is with Sonic when Sonic goes to look for Sonia and Manic, and as a part of the team, Tails is their tech support, weapons provider, master pilot, and “guy-in-the-chair” aid (can’t think of a better desc. right now xD) during missions.
Off duty, he’s just a part of this dysfunctional group of siblings living in a van together.
Let’s get this out of the way: Chuck really is Sonic’s biological uncle, and he raised Sonic in Mobotropolis, North Mobius on his own.
Aleena is not going to make those random appearances where she helps ex Machina the triplets or pushes the plot along in some way. She’s on the run too, so she’s trying to keep away from the triplets and deal with her own opposition. The triplets are more solo in that aspect.
Gonna be posting some character sheets and notes soon, so until then—
Later!
