Hello!

This blog is mainly for helping with blog-related issues/how to get into tumblr rp, etc, not fantroll advice I’m afraid (though we’ve admittedly not been active for some time). <:)

That aside; from what I’ve seen in the comic the sex of the lusus normally matches that of its charge, but a lot of people give opposite now and then, I’ve done it myself even! So just do what you like?

Combining two animals sounds cool to me too.

> Owlmod also adds her two cents since Taimod was godspeed in typing

Personally, I go with the lusus having the same gender as the troll they have picked up during the trials (Although I personally don’t have any issues with trolls having differently gendered lusus, since it might occur in rare occassions.) So I am on a similar view with Taimod

Regarding combining the features/traits of two rl animals : YES PLEASE. As long as you make it working as it should, you are golden.

For example one of my troll’s got a fennec fox/scorpion mix for a lusus, and while it is more fox like, it does carry scorpion like features (such as having a scorpion tail and the bite being venomous due to the poison sacks similar to snakes. Not to mention that it also got a few more insectoid like creatures)

^ Then again, this was just an example

So I can only encourage you to go ahead regarding that~

Hello anon!! :)

Here is a little guide I made about starting a new troll blog some time ago, maybe that could be some help?

If you got problem creating a troll of your own, and got some money to spare, there are people around in the community who will both design and make a simple ref for you for some payment! Or you can adopt a troll! Some adopt theirs away for free, other takes a little payment, but in general they come with some sort of reference. (You can find some if you search, like here).

If you got a cool idea but can't make art for your troll, the same goes, commission someone! :)

Just try to find other ways to refer to your troll in the meanwhile, such as describing their looks as well as possible; how tall are they? body type? hair style? blood? clothes? horn shape? symbol? etc. (If you can, use photo-refs like body type/face claim!)

You can also try to create a homestuck sprite using one of the various bases around for your troll. Editing is usually a bit easier than starting from scratch if you don't draw much normally.

Another thing I've seen many do is one of the "reblog-this-if-you're-a-trollblog-and-I'll-follow" posts. That's always a good start to find people! You can also make a submission-post here where you're introducing yourself when the blog is up and finished, and we will promote you!

I hope this was of some help. vuv

Hello! :D

I'm really happy it could be of as much help for you as it have been for me!!

I know the moving might take some time and be a bit tedious, but it'll probably be worth it! Good luck with everything!!

Why yes, in fact we wrote a whole guide about setting your blog up and all the things you might want to keep in mind when you do!

You can read it right here.

Hello, and thanks!!

We are actually planning to make a little guide about this already (I personally use this), BUT!! It only works for gmail as far as I know.

Don’t try this with hotmail etc. :)

Also, it will not work if the character added is a number or a letter. Use dots or hyphens.

Sample: thismail@gmail*com ==> this.mail@gmail*com

We both try our best!! :)

Well well, what is there even to say?

This blog is not about us mods really, and if you checked the FAQ you’d find that we refer to our private fantroll-blogs there for those who wonder who we are. :)

If you want to know about me, check out either my personal: taimaland or my fantrollblog: taimatrolls!

I just use my trollsona as my little persona here because it’s more fun that way.

And of course, if you need help or advice about anything, feel free to send us an ask!!

We're beyond happy for all contribution we can get. :)
