Time to show ya'll the Altercanons for The Smiling Critters!! :D

(I have already looong posted them on my twitter but again for the Tumblr peeps I will post them here! :3)

From Oldest to Youngest!

Enjoy!

Bubba Bubbaphant!

The smart and probably the most mentally stable one out of the bunch (more on that later-) being the oldest isn't really easy when you've got 7 younger friends most of which love to go on rowdy fun adventures, nonetheless he is always with them every step of the way whenever he can! (Mostly because he needs to keep them from accidentally getting themselves killed 💀)

His Talent

Bubba is capable of creating balls of light and is able to change the intesity of light sources around him, in combat he can create lightbulb shaped items and throw them at to flashbang opponents, disorienting them and giving him the advantage, though this uses up his own energy and so he needs to think carefully about how many he creates, or else he will likely pass out.

KickinChicken!

The self-proclaimed cool guy of the critters. An daredevil who's always put looking for ways to have a lil fun, all the while making Bubba slowly lose his patience 😅 even though he may come off as an arrogant jerk to others, Kickin actually cares a lot about his friends and others more than he likes to admit! Just don't get on his nerves or he will make your life a living hell whenever given the chance!

His Talent

He can whip out three items of his choosing, whether it'd be a simple screwdriver or a flat out atomic bomb, all of which seem to follow a common theme 💀 though he is only lmited to three wishes and after using them all up he'd have to wait for an one hour cooldown before he can create more items again.

CatNap!

Not a very talkative critter, neither is he really stable in ANY WAY to begin with, he went suddenly missing once for 3 whole weeks and came back never the same, for 9 whole months has he never ate, drank or even slept, and it's only a matter of time before one day he finally collapses in on himself...

His...Talent???...

He is able create sleep-inducing red smoke, making whoever is nearby inhale it and fall into a Deep Sleep... (it doesn't kill them dn)

DogDay!

The leader of The Smiling Critters! And CatNap's best friend! This lovely sunshine is always ready for an adventure and bring a smile to everyone's faces no matter who they are! He is always standing up for what's right, willing to put his friends before himself.

His Talent?

His body glows a range of red to yellow whenever experiencing intense emotions, the hue and the temperature of his body depending on how intense the feeling is, if it is too intense his body is capable of burning the skin off of anybody who attempts to touch him.

PickyPiggy!

The nature-loving and diet obsessed one of the group, she absolutely loves the wonders of mother nature, even owning an vegetable garden herself! She loves to eat but always makes sure she stays healthy when doing so! Though sometimes she is so entranced by eating food that she often forgets to keep up with the others and finds herself confused, she always feels like she has an reputation to uphold considering her father is a well-known cook in Critterville, to make things even less easy she has 12 younger brothers to take care of!

Her Talent

She is able to take and storage items within an infinite pocket dimension like a personal inventory in her pockets, though she needs to have actualy pockets for this to work, luckily she knows how to sew!

Hoppy Hopscotch!

The physically active one of the group! And DogDay's beloved little sister! This rambunctious lil rabbit is willing to take on a challenge if it means having fun! Though she is really accident prone so she often gets herself hurt! (Pretty frequently actually-) but even so she doesn't know how to back down! While impatient and loud, she is happy to protect her friends from danger!

CraftyCorn!

The shy and soft-spoken one! She's pretty timid but has an incredible creative side to her! She loves to create all kinds of art but most specifically loves to draw! Even though she may not have had the best first start of her life, but after moving into Bubba's home and becoming part of The Smiling Critters, she realizes she feels right at home.

Her Talent

She is able to mend and shape paint however and whatever she wants it to be! Whether it is colorful wings of freedom or another way to paint, she needs to have paint at her disposal though.

She is also capable of magic of her own! But due to her previous living conditions she was never able to tap into her gift and discover the wonders of unicorn magic all that much, though luckily Bubba has enrolled her to equestrian classes to help her with that problem! <)

Bobby Bearhug!

The sweetest and youngest one out of the group! She was found alone outside near the Critters' treehouse, ever since then Bubba has taken her under his wing and has been taking care of her since, it is unknown what happened to her parents it has been assumed that they had just abandoned her.

Her Talent

She is able to sense the true intentions of a person's heart, helping her know who is worthy of trust or not, she is also able to sense the emotions of an individual though this can be physically and even mentally exhausting, making her needing to take frequent naps to gain her energy back.

Aaaand that is all I have for today!

I hoped you enjoy these Altercanons and if you have any questions regarding them or this AU feel free to ask in my ask box! :3

[butchhamlet]

more thoughts on OCD Ophelia? I have OCD but I struggle to articulate my obsessions except that thought crimes are real and have the power to kill those I love or even sometimes just really bad “”luck”” it converges with my catholic upbringing, so i have to do the compulsions. anyway. I love to hear about other’s experiences

SHAKING YOUR HAND ON OCD CONVERGING BADLY WITH A CATHOLIC UPBRINGING. crazy how catholicism is like "thoughtcrime is real" and everyone just goes with that. anyway i'm opening this one up to the people because i haven't thought much about ocd ophelia, but i would really love to see her "madness" scene played as a set of compulsions--not just in terms of the meaning she encodes into the flowers, but maybe her physical actions as well (rearranging or tearing out her hair, movements that read to other people as strange/erratic, et cetera).

robin's ptsd has been discussed and stuff.... but what hcs do u have relating to nancy and her ptsd? ehehehe

oh boy i've been WAITING for this one!!!

nancy doesn't go swimming for a while. everything just reminds her of barb and steve's pool. so she just, doesn't. not at the hawkins public pool, not at the lake. nowhere.

nancy cuts her hair after the events of s1 and keeps it relatively short/shoulder-length because if it gets any longer she sees That version of herself. the one who left barb to die.

nightmares. every night. nancy doesn't remember the last time she had a good dream. they're all tainted. have been tainted since november 1983. they're all so vivid. so real, that she has a hard time distinguishing what's real and what's not real. especially after that first encounter with the demogorgon. she eventually gets to a point where she can bring herself out of it when she needs too, but when starcourt happens they come back twice as hard and twice as vivid.

we've seen her zone out in canon, and i don't think that ever really stops with her. i think when she's not in Monster Fighting Journalist mode, and she's just nancy, that she's constantly zoning out. ESPECIALLY after vecna messes with her mind.

i hc that nancy's birthday is the day that will came back/barb didn't (we know her bday is in november, just not the exact day lmao) but nancy doesn't celebrate it anymore. not since Then. a few people know it. her family, jonathan, steve, and eventually robin (who found out on accident) but there's no big celebrations or anything. nancy stays home, alone, wrapped in one of barb's old sweaters.

some days, nancy just shuts down. she's had a really bad nightmare or she's just had a bad day with her trauma in general so she just. kinda wanders. both physically and mentally. it's during one of these bad days i think that she takes down the pictures of her and barb that she had in her room.

speaking of that; i think having the pictures in her room was too much for her, reminding her of everything she could've done differently or should've done differently, so she just can't look at them anymore. (she doesn't get rid of them though, she jsut keeps them in a box under her bed. sometimes when she's feeling too lonely she'll pull them out.)

nancy is also one who doesn't like it if someone sneaks up beside her without seeing who it is first. she likes being able to have eyes on everyone, all the time. just in case.

nancy feels like she has to be the one to protect everyone. i think the trauma + guilt of everything leads to that mentality. it's her responsibility.

these are just a few i have at the moment! i probably have more that i've forgotten/overlooked, but!!! hope u enjoy :)

Bruh I be having literally the worst urges and I feel bad that I don't feel bad at all. Like damn. Guess I'm really like that. Well, anyway.

[transitionalwerewolf]

anyways i'm reading legends: darkstalker for the first time and it has to be my favorite book out of this series that i've read recently. i haven't had as much thought and connection to actual genuine canon characters in the recent arc i read, (and didn't finish) the lost continent arc, moreso just like. kinda frankensteining ocs out of what i wish couldve been.

but. i've always been incredibly fond of clearsight even in the brief prologue where she was pov. and especially even the book of clearsight- she was so full of love and now that im reading her chapters it took such great pain to get there and it Hurts

[doomstonee]

“Jupiter Jumper” her name is actually Holly Gagne

[balkan-marie]

Bozhana's backstory [Updated, detailed + full]. Some or lots of stuff here and there is personal or just me projecting onto her and it's very long. If you're uncomfortable with suicide mention then don't read the final paragraph. Thank you for your attention!

Before I start, her name means "divine", borrowed from the Bulgarian word божествена/bozhestvena (f).

She is the lowest rank in the Octarian military, but is one of the top best engineers in the school/military she goes to, almost nobody actually knows her by name, since they all call that engineer "The Weird One". She actually prefers engineering rather than being a soldier because it puts too much stress on her and fails the easiest training, her tutor/officer/colonel (whatever those who teach octolings to become soldiers are called. Sorry I forgot) allows her to skip and/or go to those soldier trainings whenever she wants to, without absences. She skips them all the time but sometimes goes just to see how her "friend" is doing (Bozhana sees her more as an acquaintance).

Bozhana lives in doubt and fear since she has severe OCD, with lots of themes but her relationship, Pure-O, existential and sexual themes are the worst. But this doesn't mean she doesn't feel happiness! Music, being alone without anyone bothering her and her interests make her joyful. Bozhana loves talking about her favorite music genres and things about robotics. She is also an artist but she hides it and only draws at home. Bozhana also maladaptive daydreams and often wants to spend her whole day just staying in bed and daydreaming while listening to music and gets annoyed when she has to do something else like going "outside", it's also a coping mechanism. She has other disorders such as Misophonia/Misokinesia and trichotillomania/bfrb. Bozhana can also play an instrument, but only the "Onward!" leitmotif.

She's extremely insecure of her looks, she wears her goggles at all times even when sleeping or showering. Avoids all mirrors. She would only show her face to those who she trusts the most, nobody has made it yet... Until! [spoiler]. Bozhana also wears 2 pairs of gloves on each hand so she doesn't bite her fingers.

She has always wondered why some Octarians hate inklings and it had left her in suspicion. Deep inside she knew inklings aren't what was taught in school and that the past is the past, but she was too afraid to say it. She also doesn't really like talking much, so she often just nods/shakes her head or does "👍"

(I forgot how Agent 3 and Bozhana met but if I remember or think of something new then I'll rewrite this part ok) blah blah blah her first encounter with an Inkling made her more nervous than before, the inkling aimed his shooter at the octopus girl, she thought she'd die on that day, but the way she looked helpless and scared made the squid boy feel very sorry for her, he felt as if he was about to kill a baby cat, looking for its mother. It was hard for Bozhana to get closer to the boy, thinking she'd get cursed with bad luck for meeting with an Inkling. With the time and the Agent's carefulness, they both became friends, even if they didn't understand each other's language, but Bozhana's art skills helped her express herself. Agent 3 would visit her often and he tried his best to learn the Octarian language to communicate with her, and so he did. Their relationship must be kept as a secret until their final days.

Bozhana couldn't escape, so the boy would bring food, clothes and toys from the surface and talk about it. Her favorite things which he brought were the octotrooper keychain and octoball plush, followed by crab'n'go food. With the time passed, she finally gained enough trust and faced her fear by showing her face to him for the first time ever.

One day, something unexpected, awful, something Bozhana was trying to avoid this whole time, happened. She heard a sound of a charger and saw the Octarians from her school in a crowd, looking at something in the middle, her thoughts and heart started to race and ran to see if what her brain made her think actually happened. What Bozhana saw is exactly that. It was Agent 3 laying on the ground, dead. With a hole on his head left by a sniper. He got caught by one of the soldiers while he was trying to look around for a little bit, even if Bozhana warned him not to do that. But that head of his didn't listen. Agent 3 was too curious and curiosity killed him.

Bozhana couldn't take the stress and panic she felt, as if her heart and body were about to make a boom at any given moment. She ran to Agent 3's body and committed suicide by shooting herself in front of everyone with her beloved main weapon, the range blaster. She fell right next to Agent 3's dead body, so she could be with him forever, even when dead. Bozhana never learnt that boy's name, nor the fact that the sniper was her friend, who's a skilled charger main in the military. That friend of hers, going by the name Radost, went up to her dead body, squatting and mockingly softly hitting her shoulder, telling her, "May you rest in peace, rascal." Then she threw her cigarette next to her body and stomped on it.

Tiny Bozhana...

--------------------

Thanks for reading! 🐙 Bonus:

Bozhana's favorite genres are italo-disco(or just any disco), new wave and eurobeat.

Her voice sounds "boyish" and quiet.

The red symbol she has on her jacket is this:

Radost's name comes from the Bulgarian word for "joy". She's said to often have a "greasy" smile and "super annoying" face. When she walks around with a cigarette in her mouth, her expression is more serious with one raised eyebrow and tilted smile (just to look intimidating). Radost is secretly a killer and murders other Octarians who try to hurt Bozhana (lol......). She's a high tier rank and close to being promoted to an Elite. She also plays dualies as secondary main after the e-liter scope

The tutor is Zdravka, highest rank, Elite soldier who sometimes looks after Bozhana. She's a roller main.

Thinking to myself “man it’s a good thing there nine mechanisms to project my disabilities onto, wouldn’t want people to think I’m headcanoning them to have an unrealistic amount of issues.” When it’s like, I have all these issues! And some people have way more comorbidities than me!

i dont usually talk about this bc of The Shame but when i was a kid getting abused by my stepmother some of the ways she was fucking me up was that i was essentially not allowed access to the rest of our apartment outside of my bedroom and the bathroom (which i went in when the coast was clear). i was not permitted to eat meals with my family and had to eat in my room. i could not wash my bedsheets or my clothes as i didnt have access to the room in which we had the washing machine. i had piles of dirty dishes in my room bc i had to wait for my dad to take them out and wash them as i didnt go into the kitchen for fear of running into her. and my stepmother took to hiding the body wash and shampoo (presumably in their room?) after she was done showering, so the only thing i had to shower with was gel hand soap. i was sleeping in months old bedsheets that never got washed, on two moldy pieces of foam one could reluctantly call a bed, with bugs in my room, my hair was matted, my clothes smelled, i smelled. whenever i went back to my moms (who didnt know any of this as i was forbidden from talking about my dads home with her) she would yell at me and berate me for how disgusting and lazy i was.

i still feel dirty. i think ill feel dirty for the rest of my life. in my mind i am covered in some invisible layer of grime and stink that i never can really wash off. no amount of scrubbing can ever make me clean again. my relationship to hygiene has never healed from the abuse. i have entirely integrated the idea that i am a fundamentally dirty, lazy slob and that everyone can tell, everyone can smell and feel it on me and is just too polite to point out how disgusting they think i am.

i say this cause i really want to make it explicit where i stand on shaming people for their personal hygiene. at points in my life even when i had the opportunity to shower comfortably and regularly i didnt, bc after years of miserable conditions it felt so fucking daunting. id have to get in the shower and scrub myself until my skin was raw and stung under the water to even feel like the washing was actually doing anything. and the second i stepped out of the shower and started to dry myself i felt like the invisible film of dirt was building back up, like it was oozing out of me constantly and the only time i could hold it in was when i was actively cleaning it. pair that with the long despondent depressive phases of bipolar disorder and, yeah, i havent always showered regularly even when i technically could.

i dont fucking want to hear about how disgusting and gross you think i am/was or people who have similar issues are. so if youre gonna reblog a random ass poll i made keep your shit off my post. do not say anything about how disgusting you think people are if they dont wash themselves to your standards. just shut up ok.
