Remembered a diffrent plot bunny I had for HOMESTUCK/Friendsim (I still need to reconsume/finish Friendsim & reconsume HS in order). So here's the bunny.

[Note: the sysopsis includes mentions of canon-typical awfulness from Alternia]


The catalyst for this au is pretty extreme; basically Earth & Alternia exist in the same universe, but Alternia is in a pickle. So there's a diffrent alien species (maybe Carasapians, maybe an original species, haven't decided yet) that's been at war with Alternia for decades and are, to one degree, winning. The Others plan now is to gather all kid-trolls on Alternia willing to leave and take them in (for multiple reasons). But they themselves are getting crowded now, so they contact the only nearby planet that isn't either to hurt by Alternia to help or unwilling to help. That planet is Earth (though they had to bribe them).

The actually idea-meat of this AU would not really be the exodus from Alternia, but the trolls intergration with Earth. And culture-shock & scenanigans ensue. Am planning to include human OCs regardless, but am debating on using Friendsim trolls (once I finish & reconsume that), for more varied-experiance in the world. And because so far I really like Bronya & Karako.

Other Notes of the World:
- Because of Sci-Fi bullshit, the trip to Earth only takes a year, making the HS trolls 13 when they enter earth. But it takes half a year to get the "Here's how to live on Earth" lessons (they got language lessons on the spaceship).
- Trolls younger then 18 are giving foster homes, even if they kept their lusus.
- Trolls tend to stick together socially, cause they're weirded out by humans.
- Time & place are changed to "vaguely modren time period" & "vaguely American"


Besides the consumption status of the OG materials; another reason why I'm post-poning this is because researh. Which I'm not sure where to start even (I'm sure there's a lot I don't even know I should research).
