With the nights getting warmer and warmer, there’s a slew of carnivals coming up. You’re not fully invested in any of them, considering your troupe fell apart sweeps ago. “Fell apart” isn’t exactly correct; your acolytes were murdered, and your second-in-command maimed by a lowblood. It’s an embarrassing turn of events, but like hell are you going to give up the clown life. In fact, you like to think you’ve thrived in the meantime.
You’re planning on going to every carnival you can, but you don’t just want to be a spectator. Your talents as a beast tamer and ringleader shouldn’t be wasted; unfortunately, a lot of these carnivals already HAVE masters and mistresses. Except for...
Perfect! This one looks to be a poorly organized shitshow--more of a night-long festival than a true performance, but that’s about to change if you have anything to say about it. You shoot the festival “organizer” (you’re being generous) a message on trollian, offering your services. You’re sure they’ll get back to you soon; after all, you are the highest ranking Mirthful adherent basically anywhere.
Except for...oh, right! That girl. You don’t think you’ve ever met another seadweller clown enthusiast, and it certainly was a pleasant encounter. You haven’t had a chance to show off to her yet, and like hell are you going to pass up an opportunity.

I wanted to do a fancy height chart but it’s not coming out so great and I lost my tablet sooooo here’s a list. My personal headcanon is that troll heights are not determined/influenced by caste. From rust to Tyrian:
Hi all! I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, but here’s a list of all my current trolls and some things they might be famous or notorious for. This is to better facilitate character relationships, so that maybe our trolls know each other, or at least know OF each other, before they actually meet. Anyway, stuff below the cut!
KEANOR PROMET
Fame: She's a Tyrian in the Winterlands. If you're into royalty, or a suckup, or a particularly well-connected seadweller, you have probably heard of her.
Notoriety: She has abdicated the throne and is infamously reclusive. She's the head honcho of a group of like 24 trolls who are known all over the Winterlands as 1. dangerous and 2. weirdos. Probably spurned by other heiresses as a pacifist homebody loser, or maybe they respect her decision? Who knows!
Connections:
ASSEER:
Fame: Probably the highest-ranking Mirthful dude anywhere (as far as the hemospectrum goes). He's a fairly good and enthusiastic organizer and ringleader of dark carnivals across Alternia, and is the current acting leader of the Winterlands carnival. Very wealthy and good to clowns.
Notoriety: Clearly a subjug poser and a seadweller. Somewhat annoying, known for hitting on any and all clowns and acolytes. Asseer is also very enthusiastic about subjugglating, and is often cruel to those of lower castes.
ARTORI:
Fame: None. Was once fairly well-known as the ACTUAL ringleader of the Winterlands clowny activities but recently fell into obscurity.
Notoriety: He's an ex-subjugglator, but still fairly elusive.
MANDRA:
Fame: A frequent participant in Mirthful carnivals all over the world, Mandra is probably well-known amongst subjugglators as a very committed Pierrot-type clown. He takes the Carnival and the Messiahs very seriously--almost deathly seriously. He's also known by trolls of all castes as a very effective exorcist, and is often called upon to deal with troublesome ghosts and hauntings. He also deals with psionics who get out of control, but that's somewhat less often.
Notoriety: Kind of a huge downer! Even trolls that admire his commitment to the role may think he goes a bit TOO far, never smiling or expressing a positive emotion if he can help it. Also tends to be somewhat judgmental of clowns that he deems 'not serious' enough, or those he thinks are into subjugglating just for the perks and parties. Tends to categorize acolytes as either 'pitiful cullbait' or 'cruelty-prone hangers-on.' He holds any troll involved with the Carnival to his own very exacting standards.
WARTAG:
Fame: He's a respected cavalreaper who wields a complicated and difficult weapon. He challenges trolls to single combat to test his strength and is well-known for doing so. He also has a crazy suit of grub armor that's kind of a biotech marvel.
Notoriety: He's known to pick on lowbloods, and will challenge even unarmed or untrained trolls to combat. Also known for being kind of a sleaze and kind of a jerk to everyone, including people he wants to sleep with.
TIWANI:
Fame: Bounty hunter and organized crime queenpin (sort of), Tiwani is the definition of 'just business' when it comes to crime on Alternia. She'll work with trolls on a heist, only to turn them in for a bounty later on. She takes any job that pays, though more for the love of fulfilling a contract than any monetary reward; she will never betray trolls while completing a job. Her style is also rather distinctive, favoring a uniform, a face mask, and with only one hand--she almost never uses a prosthesis.
Notoriety: Has attempted to start an organized crime syndicate of her own with very little success; approaches any female troll she meets to join but is almost always rebuffed. Something of a flirt, she may have hit on your (female) troll in the past, with whatever degree of sucess. Is not super-hemoist, but is not swayed by lowblood sob stories either; she does whatever is required to see a job through to completion.
JERATH:
Fame: Translator and publisher of numerous ancient Alternian texts of history and poetry; if your troll is interested in any of these, they may know of him. A lot of these works feature ancestors--mainly his own, but those of other trolls are certainly present. Very active in online forums related to these subjects. Occasionally publishes poetry of his own; most often featuring romantic themes and borderline-erotic content. Borderline.
Notoriety: Raider. Jerath occasionally sails into poorly-defended settlements and 'barters' with the locals, mainly by threatening them until they give him food and, occasionally, other supplies. He doesn't actually attack, however, unless threatened or attacked first. Known to be a pretty ferocious fighter, and is actually rumored to have killed an entire clan of subugglators in his youth (actually it was mainly acolytes, but rumors favor the 'cult of subjugs' story).
DJAGOR:
Fame: Probably known in hemorebel sects as an outspoken, almost suicidally-zealous proponent of equality amongst castes.
Notoriety: Famously shuns contact with anyone, even if they happen to share his views. Tends to go on longwinded rants against any and all things he deems immoral, including the quadrants system. Known as a pest, especially among hemoloyals; has probaby called your troll a harlot if he's ever met them. A horrible nerd.
BRIONI:
Fame: The only guide for a treacherous mountain pass in the Winterlands. This is a popular tourist destination in the summer, and an impassible wilderness in the winter. If your troll is there for sightseeing, or trying to get from one side of the Winterlands to the other, they will probably have need of her services. She also runs rescue operations, so if a troll gets lost or caught in a blizzard she will be the one to rescue them. Trolls that she rescues get taken back to her hive to recover and treated very hospitably--plenty of brandy, hot cocoa, and board games. Known as a sweetheart.
Notoriety: Talks a lot; seems somewhat starved for company. Possibly seen as a pushover, despite her toughness.
OSLIAN:
Fame: Lowblooded psionic legislacerator. Tries any and all court cases, and usually works on the cheap. Specializes in inheritance law; making sure shit that your ancestor left goes to you, instead of someone claiming to be your signmate (or even your actual signmate). Verifies ancestral documents and notarizes any legal documents your troll might need drafted. He also frequents online forums about history and ancestors, giving advice and opinions. Sells handcrafted leatherbound books and things.
Notoriety: Not a particularly good or bad lawyer, if you're trying a case with him you have exactly a 50/50 shot of winning, no matter how good or bad your case is. Has possible mob affiliations. Argues with himself, and has a weird mutation that gives him two distinct brains. Kind of a big dork.
PERTHA:
Fame: Good hand-to-hand fighter, lots of fun at parties. Pertha runs a fairly highly-viewed Instagram page and maintains a presence across most popular social media sites. Highly gregarious, Pertha can be found pretty much anywhere a party is. Her distinct style of dress and loud, constant 'censor-beep' vocal tic are difficult to mistake or forget; if a troll has seen her before (and they likely may have), they will probably remember her.
Notoriety: Everything stated prior and then some. Rude, crude, and lewd, Pertha is not shy about insulting or denigrating others in the most humiliating or funny (to her, at least) manner. Used to FLARP, was incredibly belligerent and used a huge-ass gun. Definitely said 'GG EZ' a lot.
JUNIPA
Fame: Runs around in the daytime and fights the walking dead on a regular basis. Any dayrunner or undead-fighting trolls could have run into her; she roams far and wide in search of undead to fight, so trolls from any region are likely to have seen her. She also fights with a broken sword, so anyone who has noticed this has either probably been very impressed, very worried, or very confused.
Notoriety: RUNS AROUND IN THE DAYTIME AND FIGHTS SHADOW-DROPPERS ON A REGULAR BASIS. Also pretty ditzy, generally baffling to talk to.
FETTLE
Fame: Possibly my most famous troll, owns a large-and-growing chain of fast-food restaurants. Started as a ranch hand, eventually acquired most of the meatpacking industry in northern Alternia and then expanded into restaurants. Chances are your troll has eaten at one of her restaurants, though they may not know her name/what she looks like (though it's equally possible they do). The mascot of the restaurant looks like her, so they might realize the connection.
Notoriety: Ruthless Businesswoman. Known in the business/restaurant world as doing anything it takes to get ahead. Intimidatingly wealthy for a lowblood and not exactly deferential towards 'old-money' bluebloods--but will work with them to suit her own ends. As a result she isn't particularly well-liked by many of low or high castes.
BOTNIK
Fame: Makes a lot of weapons and robots. Like, constantly. The market is flooded with reliable but ugly pieces of technology stamped with his symbol. Definitely prefers function over form, it's said that anything he makes could be buried in a swamp for 5 sweeps, dug up, and used immediately. A strong proponent of lowblood solidarity and a hemorebel, he occasionally publishes pamphlets and attends rallies with this purpose.
Notoriety: Again: hemorebel and proponent of lowblood solidarity. Thought of as something of a recluse, but in reality is just too busy to do much socializing. Blunt and somewhat abrasive, not the friendliest sort either.
THURIN
Fame:
Notoriety: Fuck that guy
RAYLOX
Fame: Travels all over the world, renowned violinist and dancer. Widely considered a great talent by those who have heard her, and those who have seen her dance demand an encore. Her dancing is hypnotic-literally-and even though the effect is gone once she stops, trolls tend to remain enraptured (she is quite a good dancer, and very attractive besides). Also composes her own songs but tends not to write them down; as a wandering minstrel, she's actually thrilled when people copy or share her work.
Notoriety: Most trolls don't realize they've been hypnotized (it's a very subtle effect; Raylox has no direct control over trolls in her sway), but if a troll were to find out I can't imagine they'd be thrilled. Raylox also has a habit of not sticking around; given that a lot of trolls are infatuated with her, it's given her something of a bad reputation. She also tends to sleep around and couch surf, which doesn't help this perception. She, unfortunately, has a good amount of stalkers.
Fantroll fanfic trope: Horns locked together after getting in one anothers' face.
Oh my god is this a thing?? That’s cute.
Jerath and Vatrra, AKA Food Library.
I don’t know how this would happens, because their horns are nowhere near each other. This happens fairly often with their tusky fangs though and frankly I am 500% here for it. Look at these snaggletooth goblins. Horns or fangs or whatever, you know they’re going to fight about stuff getting locked together.
Asseer and Riccin???
Look. I’m not saying I want them to smooch (I might) but what if…heated argument, lots of shouting, lots of heresies being called…and then suddenly they’re stuck. There’s a beat, and then suddenly the situation escalates TENFOLD and they’re STILL STUCK.
Their horns are fucking built for it. Just look at the two of them. This should really happen and I might actually write it.
What would each of your indigos (and Asseer) be like if they'd never gotten into the church, or had left it at a very young age?
Mandra...gosh, that’s hard to say! His whole identity is wrapped up in the church, I really can’t speak to what he’d be like without it! He might be your run-of-the-mill goth kid, OR what if he was really happy and goofy! Cracking corny jokes all the time? OMG I love that now. Either way he’d definitely be an actor. Eternal Drama Kid Mandra Baothe. I still think he’d get way into Ghost Therapy, though he’d probably go about it more like a traditional talk therapist than an exorcist. He probably also does crueltube painting videos like a troll Bob Ross, with a ‘fro to match. I hate to say it but he’d probably be way more well-adjusted overall, rip.
Artori would probably be much the same as he is now--fishing a lot and doing nothing of import. He wouldn’t have had the impulse to rule without the Church (I headcanon the Subjugglators as having much more secular power than I think many other people do), but he probably would have at least been somewhat haughty/imperious. He would just do whatever he wants and feel no obligation to anyone. He could be your worst highblood nightmare in a Bass Pro Shop shirt. Or maybe he’d just be snippy if you tried to get him to stop fishing for two seconds. Ooh, maybe he’d wage war against the Mirthfuls--try to institute a secular ruling caste, looked over by himself? I like that idea a lot, actually. Purpleblood wars! Consolidate rulership! Death to the zealots, etc.
Asseer would probably still be interested in clowns in some way. He’d study them from a sociological standpoint and probably find them very fascinating in a morbid way. I feel like non-clown Asseer would look at a lot of different Alternian subcultures and caste relationships from that kind of lens, but he would almost certainly focus or obsess on the clowny religion due to shenanigans with his ancestor, who hunted clowns and made war on all land dwellers. He’d also play Oslian in chess a lot more and they’d probably be dating! Who even knows with this guy.

☄ Hella recruiting everyone that reblogs this to Hogwarts AU for your choice(s) of trolls!
Fettle runs a secret gourmand club that eats shit they probably shouldn’t be eating (gnomes, goblins, centaurs, etc.). She’s a Slytherin because that shit wouldn’t fly anywhere else, let’s be real here.
Tiwani is a Gryffindork who challenges everyone to fights. Like, not wizard duels, actual fistfights. Probably muggleborn and thinks magic is stupid. Not good at school but really good at ‘procuring’ certain magical goods so people let her copy homework and whatnot. Is the Big Gay of Gryffindor and everyone knows it.
Asseer a pureblood asshole who was SO SURE he was a shoo-in for Slytherin but ends up in Hufflepuff and is REALLY PISSED about it. Hangs out exclusively with Slytherings, they think he’s kind of a joke but he buys them shit with his dad’s money so w/e he can stay I guess. Goes way overboard with everything and is a total nuisance. Wants to be Draco Malfoy so bad.
Brioni is Hufflepuff all over. She’s brave in a really understated way and I guess that’s what this house is about??? She likes chocolate and shit, that’s Hufflepuff right. Anyway she probably tried to get Asseer to be less of a dick but gave up after a little while (but secretly holds out hope he’ll come around).
Pertha gets expelled. The Sorting Hat throws her in Hufflepuff because it doesn’t know what the fuck else to do with her. Like if Fred and George did pranks that seriously got people hurt they’d be Pertha. She probably ends up living in that forbidden woods and dies and turns into a pranksterish ghost and just haunts the shit out of everyone. They expelled her but you can’t expel a GHOST NOW CAN YOU.
yo if you want to know more specific trolls ask this was actually kind of fun
The FLOTILLA SALTRIME was the scourge of land-dwelling trolls and specifically subjugglators. He had a habit of capturing them for display in his underwaer managerie. Unfortunately, none of the cages were equipped with an oxygen supply so they all died in captivity. :C
