It has been decided that Sgrub probably is not going to happen in this swap. If it did, it would be a clusterfuck.
#1 problem: Equius.
Getting him into the game would be issue enough, but even with that accomplished, he may very well try to kill everyone. And he doesn’t have anything like Gamzee’s slime or a moirail to even him out.
If anything, more prospective moirails die trying to calm Equius’s tits than any other way.
Another part of the bloodswap, Magenta Terezi. Yep.
Terezi! Her having her eyes cut out and the goggles were my idea. Clothes design isn’t decided yet, beyond the fact that she’s going to have some sort of pants (as opposed to a skirt or dress), and not a lot of jewelry beyond the tiara thing.
Despite the red lenses on her goggles, she’s not that into color this time around. Whereas canon Terezi “sees” by smelling colors, magenta Terezi has echolocation, and therefore is more focused on sound/music.
She lost her eyes via some imperial assassins trying to get her. She doesn’t have Gl’bgolyb to keep them away, for one - she just has a sort of sea-dragon leviathan type lusus. And her hive is in some coral! Some sort of branching kind, keeping the tree thing, but underwater etc etc.
Not sure why Zorn put the diamond in the background, but it gets me on the subject of moirallegiance. In this swap, Terezi is Vriska’s moirail, trying to keep her out of shit (and namely from Eridan, bad influence that he is). Not that Vriska’s innocent on her own, no - just not as bad as canon. It’s not always an easy job, either, but she does it still.
Speaking of the blinding incident - it probably wouldn’t have happened if Vriska had been there. At the time, however, she was off Flarping. After all that, she felt pretty damn guilty, and more or less gave it up for the sake of helping Terezi fend off assassins and the like, particularly as she got used to being blind. It’s also around this time that Vriska sort of developed/realized flushed feelings for Terezi, and has generally tried to make up for her earlier fuckup.
But more on that some other time.
Couple other miscellaneous facts: Terezi’s strife specibus is now the 4+3dentkind, a double-ended culling fork, but with 4 prongs on one end and 3 on the other.

Might as well give a rundown of who is what color in this swap. Zorn started the art with Eridan, but the order actually started based from Karkat’s placement. In fact, Eridan almost ended up yellow, until we swapped the order and decided to go with him as cerulean.
So, the order goes thusly, starting with the lowest:
Mutant!Kanaya, Maroon!Nepeta, Brown!Sollux, Yellow!Tavros, Green!Aradia, Jade!Karkat, Teal!Feferi, Cerulean!Eridan, Blue!Gamzee, Indigo!Equius, Purple!Vriska, Magenta!Terezi
yeah
Oh look I finished him.
And here is the finished version of the picture. ZORN, YOU SOMEHOW MADE HIM LOOK NOT STUPID. How did you do that.
It’s my swag man.
YOU HAVE THE BEST SWAG.
Oh look I finished him.

Working on a blood swap cuz they’re fun. WIP of Azure!Eridan.
I am just going to reblog all the art you do for this, Zorn. All of it. Even the WIPs.
So yes here is Eridan for the swap. Zorn’s thinking up most of the stuff for him. He is about as horrible as a cerulean (or azure, whatever) Eridan could be expected to be.
those lowvbloods need to knowv their place
Yes, his quirk is switched up. His v’s become vw, if you’re wondering. And spoken, his accent swaps v and w sounds, so you get “vatewer” for “whatever”.
