Opposite Au - Tumblr Posts
i was so surprised by the lack of AUs in the My Friendly Neighborhood fandom! So, me and a few discord buddies decided to create our own! The Opposite Au! (Or the OPP AU for short)
its basically a personality swap with a few story changes!
(click read more for bonus doodles + character descriptions!)
NORMAN
Norman is THE BEST character on 'My Friendly Neighborhood' and he WILL remind you constantly!
He has like a bajillion fans and friends that are definitely NOT made up! Of course he has fans and friends from all over the world what do you mean he doesn't???
He's a bit of a diva... ok "bit" is an understatement. He genuinely believes that he deserves to be treated better than anybody else! He proudly displays a star on his door as a symbol of his supposed stardom!
There's a blurry line between fiction and reality for Norman. He believes his on-screen friendship with Lenard translates to real life, despite their mutual mistreatment of each other. Lenard is definitely NOT Norman's friend. (In fact, most of the puppets in this AU despise each other)
Incredibly overdramatic. He once laid down on the floor for 3 hours straight because someone ate the last chocolate chip cookie.
Norman is still very lonely.
JUNEBUG
Much more calmer and introverted than her OG counterpart. She would rather stay inside reading books than play outside with her so-called 'friends'.
She is the resident bookworm of the neighborhood, incredibly smart too!
Her demeanor is highly apathetic; even if chaos erupted in the neighborhood, she wouldn't even lift her eyes from the pages of her book.
She also speaks in a very monotone voice.
She still very much hates responsibility.
She and Norman have a sort of pseudo rivalry with each other, even though it mostly affects Norman. While others react to Norman's antics, Junebug's indifference to it annoys him the most.
Even if she's not currently reading books, she's usually staring off into space or thinking about something. Ms. Lilianna is not fond of her due to her inattentiveness during one of her lessons.
Has a horrible habit of sneaking up to people and scaring them due to the fact that she walks VERY quietly.
MS. LILIANNA
It's MISS Lilianna. Not Lilianna, MISS Lilianna! She is your teacher and you WILL show her some respect!
Miss. Lilianna is incredibly strict and uptight. If you so much as even breathe loudly she will get furious with you!
She does genuinely love teaching! She teaches math, science, english, history... but her favorite lesson to teach are RULES!
Currently, she has 874 rules in her rule book. Here are some examples:
22. No talking while she's talking, that’s rude. 23. No chewing gum 24. no smiling 25. no breathing too loudly 26. no running 27. no jumping 28. no laughing 29. no living 30. no screaming 32. no playtime 33. no snack time 34. no lunchtime 35. definitely no nap time. 36. No blinking more than once per minute! 37. You must sit at a perfect 90 degree angle 38. No writing with anything other than a blue ballpoint pen with a 0.735 mm tip!
Her favorite rule is rule #17: "Everyday is Teacher's Day!" You must give Ms. Lilianna gifts and hugs to show how much you appreciate her!
The most important rule is the "No complaining about the rules" rule! Or else you'll be sent to the principals office! Which is her. She is the principal, the custodian, the janitor, every and any faculty member of the school!
...Except for the Art teacher. Please don't show her any art, she will not understand anything. She lacks any and every sort of creativity.
Her favorite weapon to use is the classic ruler! Light weight AND teacher-y
Baldi's basics lookin' ass
LENARD
Anxious Dog Energy right there.
Poor Lenard is very shy and super self conscious. Like Junebug, he would rather stay alone than be anywhere NEAR people.
He has a bit of a stutter.
He is so anxious, that he's developed several self-defense mechanisms!
He will either SCREAM BLOODY MURDER
Or he will bite you
Or a combination of both.
Sometimes he'll bite for no reason whatsoever!
Lenard is TERRIFIED of being watched, especially while practicing. Memories of him being taunted and teased during the show's production still haunt him.
He's developed severe scopophobia because of this.
He will usually sing and dance in private. Though, he's not a very good singer nor a very good dancer.
GEORGE
The epitome of "I hate my job."
This George really hates being a taxi driver. I mean, wouldn't you hate being stuck as a taxi driver for the rest of your life?
After MFN got cancelled and the puppets got abandoned, George ripped out the 'T' in his taxi cab hat. He tried ripping out more from his taxi uniform, but stopped since his uniform were the only clothes that he's got.
He's now stuck in exitensial dread. What IS George now that he's not a taxi driver? He might've hated being one, but that was all that he's got.
He hates any and all vehicles with 4 wheels or more. All the taxi cabs in the studio are smashed, even the wheels have been taken out!
He still likes rats. However, it's mostly a "appreciate from afar" type of ordeal. The rats in the studio are vicious little beasts.
He once saw a puppet get too close to the rats. Let's just say that the puppet is now a pile of cotton fluff.
The only time he was genuinely happy during the show's production was when they were filming the Pirate's Cove film. It was his first experience of being anything other than his taxi driver role. He still has his pirates hook and he would fight you tooth and nail if you try and steal it from him
AND THATS EVERYONE (for part 1 ofc)
Thank you to my friends who definitely helped with this AU (you know who you are!)
Oh! And please click the images for better quaity!
Chiller you spoil me!

A Happy Tree Friends AU Idea!
▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎
Somber Wood Foes AU
/ Inversed Au
▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎
Somber Wood Foes is the Opposite AU of Happy Tree Friends. The characters still dies for the sake of cosmic joke, but their personalities are flipped around.
▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎
Cuddles > Idles (hates being outside, ridiculously lacks energy to do anything, sad and droopy)
Giggles > Gruntles (grunge aesthetic, hates cute and girly stuffs, will def kick your ass if you flirt with her)
Toothy > Tiffy (tough, likes to fight, sharpens his teeth to look more intimidating, drags Idles outside for adventures)
Lumpy > Lucent (both antlers are upright, he deemed himself as the brightest of them all, hates mistakes, always over prepared, still dies even when prepared)
Petunia > Pungentia (trash is an aesthetic for her, her mess ends up killing others, she genuinely thinks she is beautiful with her "fashion")
Handy > Nimble (he was nimble until he lost his feet, a feet would be nice as a mail man)
Nutty > Natty (healthy living for the win, a promoter of fruits and vegetables, he keeps accompanying Sclutzy out of pity)
Sniffles > Sclutzy (antz is frients nat fud, was a genius but his sanity is now broken, enjoys destroying technology)
Pop > Top (he goes over the top on protecting Buc, wears a top hat, imposes too much rules and restrictions on Buc)
Cub > Buc (never died even once, actually curious on what dying feels like, was told to never go off without his father, dying for freedom)
Flaky > Ruby (she doesn't have flakes, fearless, adrenaline junkie, uses her quills as weapons when needed)
The Mole > The Watcher (his blue eyes get to shine, his beautiful eyes are just too distracting, some died because they were disracted by those ocean eyes)
Disco Bear> Discord Bear (extremely lacks confidence, bolts away at the sight of girl's shadow, dislikes disco since he can't dance)
Russell the Pirate > Rascal the Bandit (loves gold, hoards gold, will kill for anything that looks like gold)
Lifty > Wifty (loves giving, enjoys making stuffs from wood, doesn't see the value in gold and jewelry, too noisy to steal anything)
Shifty > Frankly (hates gambling, never lets his twin die, works honestly for money, wouldn't dare to enter the life of crime to survive, too full of conscience to steal anything)
Mime > Mike the Clown (he never talks but he's freaking loud, relies on visual gags and humiliation to entertain others, his noises may drive someone crazy)
Cro Marmot> Pro-Macro 2000 (a time traveller who's trapped in his time machine since it only runs on the specific electricity that they have in the future, every episode he'll try different type of morse codes to ask for help, the "help" he receives will lead to further sealment of his machine or death)
Flippy > Fiasco (Fiasco is a bloodthirsty executioner whose goal is to have the most kills each day. He is quick, ruthless, and loves the creativity in his kills. He avoids places containing wholesome stuffs since he will flip into his little alter, Freaky.)
Splendid > Insipid (wants to be villain but accidentally saves others, kryptonut boosts his powers)
Lammy > Luna (she thinks no one can see her, kills for entertainment, she blames the pickle and everyone believes her)
Mr. Pickles > Sir Prickly (tries to keep Luna from killing, fails to keep Luna from killing, an escapegoat, accepts the punishments so Luna wouldn't suffer)
Truffles > Trifled (he wants to be the center of everything, he'll make sure everyone notices him regardless of being alive or dead, the gags revolves around his ideas of stealing the spotlight)
Cursed Idol > Sacred Idol (You will not die as long as you have this, basically the totem of undying, however you will die in the most grotesque and horrible way the moment that you lost/let go of this)
Tell me what you think of this! I would like to make some concept arts one day but for now, I have no idea how :p
How's your Opposite AU going? I've seen in your post that you're having trouble with the designs so I just wanna share some ideas. When I see the description of Idles, I see a droopy-eared bun-bun whose default pose is laying still and staring blankly ahead. I think it would be funny if Tiffy would still be a dentist and his methods might look brutal but ending up giving best results. For Ruby, I imagined her to have very short quills and usually wearing a daring expression. Hope these helps!
So far, I have recovered a few of my old, amateur concept works in hand. They were at least 4 years old, drawn on an old, unrecoverable notebook, and the only proof they existed is a post I made in Amino.
Prepare your eyes from shiddy arts and highly contrasted images!
Bruh Lumpy is now an anime protag
First change on the design: the hair. I don't think a smarter Lumpy will wear that kind of silly hair. I'll also remove the glasses and labcoat, he may be more clever but his job shouldn't be a scientist. I think it's much suitable for him to become a Professor that constantly scares his students with existential questions. Since I want him to be overprepared, I will change his demeanor from a cold, calculative guy to a kooky, restless and ingenious. He must have multiple, secret bunkers around the town just in case of apocalypse.
I have changed his name into Idles since Snuggles is already the name for Genderbent Cuddles. And I think I will draw him droopy eared all the time as you said!
There's already a goth au so this idea is completely scrapped off. Since Giggles' character is all about being a stereotypical girl, Gruntles would be a rebel who is disgusted by the idea of conforming. She will wear whatever she wants (meaning her accesroies will change everyday). I will keep her love for earth but she will show it in a different way. "Chop this tree then I'll chop your head off"
Did you know Ruby used to be a Fliqpy Sue???? Yeah, I'll have to change so many things. But now that you mentioned it, I guess I'll take away more of her quills away since she did use most of them for self-defense. I will change the hoodie since Idles already got one.
Here are the old designs that will have no/few changes in my AU:
If y'all have comments or suggestions, feel free to share them! My ask box is open as always.
Tween Animation of Crystal ◇
Crystal is a girl around 12 years old bear who has a warm expression on her face and short orange hair that reaches her back. She is about 4 feet tall. She usually wears a cursed headband housing an evil spirit on her head, a blue dress, black ribbon, white laces and no shoes.
She calls the crystal she summons as her "Looking Glass". The Looking Glass can view and rewrite the dreams, thoughts and memories of her target. Using the Looking Glass requires so much stamina, and therefore she must eat a lot of food. If she feels starved, Nephelle (the spirit inside her headband) will possess her and use her powers for no good.
Crystal is unaware that her headband is cursed but the critters around her are. That's why she is so confused whenever she receives free snacks and food.

MORE OF THESE???
Happy Tree Friends
Somber Wood Foes/Fiends
Personalities and motivations inverted
Like fokem look at thisss????? Supposed to be opposite splendid but huhhhh???? Why this gaster walmart freak is my idea for opposite splndid and splendont@??@@??@I have no excuse for my lazy flank Ill definitely scrap this idea out from the revamped opposite au. I will keep the fact that (Since Toothy and Sniffles are biggest Fan Bois of Splendid) Tiffy and Sclutzy are biggest Haters
Insipid (Opposite Splendid) is a villain that accidentally good heroic deeds. Once i start doing the animatics, ill definitely use that ProZD audio
Intrepid (Opposite Splendont) is there to remind Splendid how to be actually villainous.
Omgggg Lucent!!! Lucent meant bright and thats the name i used for opposite Lumpy. Although he doesn't think outside the box, he is prepared for anything and everything. The chaotic variables (Sclutzy) are harder to prepare for though.
Natty for opposite Nutty. Onfg did ye know the word natty means smart looking and fashionable- He's just the rehab Nutty we have met at False Alarm ep. Hes also a dietician who promotes eating veggies and fruits and detest candies ajodod
Sclutzy was a gifted kid snapped. There's a thin line between madness and genius and Sclutzy snorted that line. Inspired by that Dexter's Laboratory episode where Deedee brings out the manic technology destroying monster inside her brother.
ONFG I REMBER HOW AN AMINO USER REQUESTS THESE BITS- Discord Ursid? DiscUrsid?? Discursive????? <<< autocorrect According to my archived notes, he's just so awkward it's awfully embarrassing???? YOUNG ME SPEAK CLEARLY WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT- but ye get flustered a lot, he never tried getting into disco music industry despite wanting to, big sadge
Of course Of course this right here is Luna and Sir Prickly. The pickle was the escapegoat this time. Luna be goin around slaughtering and then everyone blamed the pickle because he shouldnt exists and his presence is "demonic"
(ahhahaahhaaahhaa i clearly remember I just based off Sir Prickly to Will Cipher from Reverse Falls aaaaaaa ORIGINALITY DOESNT EXISTSSSSSS IN MY DICCTIONARYRYYYRYY)
I didn’t forget bout y’all, don’t worry. Here’s some opposite au Protag or sm (this au is from aziidaa ) this is a poor representation of this au tho so check out the of post
Made some opposite au drawings
Anyways love y’all! = D
Idk if anyone asked yet but
I know that Protag is swapped with coworker and that that. But who is normal Guy swapped with??
I’m not quite sure actually! I didn’t know who to swap him with (mostly since I personally feel like Manuel acts a bit too much like normal guy) so I just made Normal Guy act like the opposite of himself!
anyways thanks for asking! Have an amazing rest of your day! = D
Made fanart for one tadc opposite au I came across
Enjoy it lmao @holly-opal
It managed to catch my interest AND my motivation so thx :]
