The Bells Toll for New Arrivals..

Welcome to the Sour Sturgeon Tavern, everyone! In case you don't know, this side blog will be my main place for all content relating to my CRK AU: Swapped Heroes(Name is still a work in progress)! I will also post some other minor AU stuff if I feel like it, but this will be the main place for all things relating to Swapped Heroes. Now, I'm sure you have some questions, and I'll be glad to answer them. ---------------------------------------------------- Q: When referring to 'Swapped Heroes', what exactly are you swapping? A: I'm referring to the beasts and ancient heroes being swapped! Well, not exactly, there's only one previously existing character being swapped into an ancient role in this entire thing, but I like to borrow elements from the Ancients before to breathe some life into these new ones! Q: Since most of the Swapped Heroes content already exists on your main blog, what are you going to do with it? A: Simple! I'll just reblog it here so you don't have to scroll ALL the way down my main blog to find it! Quality of life is important, after all! Q: Will we be able to interact with these characters via asks? A: Once I develop them all, I'll open up to some asks! Unfortunately, most of them are only used to communication via paper, pencil and delivery pigeon, so I'll just transcript what they say into internet form so everyone can read it! Q: In character, who really runs this blog? A: A junior Crispia Archivist named Milk Choco Meringue Cookie! After being transported to another alternate CRK universe via a newly-made book in the Crispia Archives, she managed to get in contact with all the Ancient Heroes (and the Beasts for some reason?)! Hopefully, they can help her find a way back home.. Q: Will you forget about this blog in a couple of months and never use it again after the fact? A: ....Quit calling me out like that. ---------------------------------------------------- And that's all for now! I don't know if anyone will see this blog, but I hope they at least read through my posts! Ta-ta for now! -M.C2

Big Ginormous Announcement

Blog owner here. Apologies for the hiatus and inactivity recently. I know this probably isn't what you guys wanted my first post back after a month or so, but this needed to be said: I am rewriting certain parts of Swapped Heroes. Not a rewrite in its entirety, but I am dissatisfied with how the current story is going in some parts. The roles for some of the characters felt ill-fitting after some looking back, and I've decided to give a brief, short synopsis on some of the rewritten lore I shall include. 1. Ash Ice Cream Cookie and Sea Glass Cookie, despite having no previous relation, now share a past similar to that of Pure Vanilla Cookie's and White Lily Cookie's. They went together to Rice Pudding Academy, a replacement for Blueberry Academy, and Ash Ice Cream has developed feelings for Sea Glass before she decided to marry Captain Salted Caviar Cookie a mere few months before Ash Ice Cream became Severed Overlord Cookie. 2. Contrary to how the canon story plays out, Ash Ice Cream and Sea Glass both attended the Witch's Banquet-And only one came out alive. While Sea Glass Cookie was in a prime position to fall into the Holy Dough, Ash Ice Cream Cookie pushed her to safety and took her place. 3. Severed Overlord Cookie's main motivations are not freedom for Cookiekind via defying the very rules of the world, but instead revenge for the heartbreak Sea Glass Cookie caused and intent to give Cookies true freedom through sowing heartbreak and mistrust. 4. Severed Overlord Cookie wanted to use the mistrust Miasma Rice Cookie had been through before deciding to seal the rest of the Beasts away in order to manipulate Sea Glass Cookie further through him. However, this plan backfired, as Miasma Rice Cookie obtained allyship with Sea Glass due to their shared loathing for their oppressor, Severed Overlord Cookie. 5. Severed Overlord's motifs have been very much non-existent, but I wanted to go for the opposite of Millennial Tree Cookie's themes; A withering, dying Treeborne Cookie wrought with burns and mold who strives for complete destruction of all life in return for full freedom. This is it for now. Hope to see you again.

SMALL UPDATE ON SWAPPED HEROES

Hello, hello! Blog owner here again. Just wanted to apologize for the recent scarcity of posts. School is kind of getting on my nerves, and I've had less time to focus on lorewriting for this blog and this AU in general. I know my reach right now is extremely limited, and I barely get activity these days, but I do hope that one day, more people will be able to see what I have to offer! Farewell for now-My assignments won't write themselves! With passion, N.S.R P.S.: I've gotten into Limbus Company lately, and some of the story beats from that game are actually pretty interesting, so I might take a teensy bit of inspo from the Cantos from now on. That's all! Byeee!! >v<

How long has it been? How long since you defied my orders and took my benevolent kindness as threat? I was just trying to keep you safe, Captain. Away from harm. Safe from them. Even when I realized you were the little thief who stole my Soul Jam, I welcomed you with open arms into my Palace and went along with your desire. Your desire to Change. The want you had to better yourself, improve what you saw as flaws. I did all of that and more, and yet You still defied everything, took what I had rightfully reclaimed. Then you left. And never even bothered to look back. Does it make you happy? That the chance you had to embrace Stagnancy, your chance to Enlighten yourself, You, on your own, decided to miss it entirely? I pity you, Captain. One day, we shall meet. And you will see how you have wronged me. The Weaver of Evolution, the Emperor of Stagnancy. Good luck, Salted Caviar Cookie. You shall need it.

OOC: I POSTED THIS ON THE WRONG FUCKING ACCOUNT FUCK MY LIFE

[swappedheroesau]

SWAPPED HEROES TIMELINE: PART 1

Alright, since the Beasts are just about to get wrapped up, I think I should do a proper timeline of events to make sure everyone knows what events go when!

BEGINNING: I Just Got Transported To An Alternate Universe By A Library Book?! Young Archival student Milk Choco Meringue finds a blank book in the Crispia Archives, gets transported to an alternate Earthbread, and meets the differently designed Gingerbrave and friends, who fill her in on most of the run-of-the-mill Kingdom lore from their standpoint.

FINDING THE HEROES, PART 1: Fragmenta Memorarium Milk Choco Meringue and the others travel throughout Earthbread and find a desolate Tempered Glass village on the outskirts of Crystallyne, find Wandering Nomad Cookie helping out the residents still in the village and convince her to come along with them to Crystallyne and find it in utter disrepair thanks to Glossy Emerald Cookie, eventually find and stop him but not before Wandering Nomad remembers stuff and becomes Sea Glass Cookie, takes back control of the kingdom and gives Milk Choco Meringue a keepsake of hers for the future.

FINDING THE HEROES, PART 2: A Missing Tune The group journeys forward and finds Pandan Cream and Ube Extract Cookie panicking over their lost leader, Iced Tamarind Cookie, Gingerbrave assures the two the group will find them, eventually do in a secluded forest and convince them to go back to their troupe and reinvigorate their role as an ancient hero.

FINDING THE HEROES, PART 3: Bittersweet Soda Crew continues adventuring and finds the Fizz Kingdom, since the gates are locked they find another way inside and talk to all the Pavilions to discern where Strawberry Seltzer is They eventually go there, try to convince Strawberry Seltzer to open the gates, but it's in vain as they are kicked out Eventually Strawberry Seltzer realizes they aren't bullshitting and decides to re-open the gates but not after a severe attack from Severed Overlord's enemy forces

COUNCIL OF THE HEROES: A New Republic The three ancients make a council in Crystallyne and Sea Glass suggests that Gingerbrave and the others explore the Creme Republic for military support and also to find Salted Caviar Cookie, The other Ancients go to the Republic but Sea Glass is hesitant since she doesn't want her friends finding out about her past with Salted Caviar

FINDING THE HEROES, PART 4: Sea Beast of the Creme Republic The crew heads to the Creme Republic, finds Golden Lychee Cookie(Disguised Longan Dragon Cookie), who's taken in Salted Caviar after finding him gravely injured after the Dark Flour War Salted Caviar is pretty much bedrotting for a while before Golden Lychee convinces him to go outside and greet the group, does so and is about to go back inside when Milk Choco Meringue hands him the keepsake Sea Glass gave to her This kickstarts a flashback where Salted Caviar realizes and remembers the times he and the other ancient heroes were together, starts having a breakdown before mentally reassuring himself that he'll no longer be a coward in a world that remains the same

INTERMISSION: That's it for Part 1! Part 2 will most likely be posted tomorrow, or whenever I have time.

"Cowardice is a value that all Cookies are unable to resist."

Lore entry for Licorice Ichor Cookie! Sorry for the lack of posts, being stuck in a licorice dreamscape really is a struggle to get out of...Luckily, we pulled it off! Kind of scared about the last Beast, though....What'll happen to Ash Ice Cream..? Aaaah, I don't wanna think about it...See you all later! -M.C.2

[candiedliarnikki]

All desires lead somewhere. Perseverance through all things will lead to your Stagnancy of the values you hold dearest. Endearment will sour and turn to the wastes of Loathing. Hope will give way to Despair in the face of loneliness. Cowardice hides in the deepest parts of Courage. And Understanding opens the path to Confusion. All I shall ask is.... With the fate of yourself at hand, would you be doomed to repeat the ones who came before you? The book is open, the quill is inked, all prepared for you to write your own ending. All that matters now is what you do with it.

MINOR UPDATE(?????)

Witches, this 'blog' is disastrous. Greetings, feeble beings. I understand that the very small audience this little Scholar has gathered might be worried about her after her so-called 'lore entries' were paused? I am here to quell those anxieties, as much as I am able to, anyway. Your little Scholar and her posse of other young, wide-eyed Cookies are currently resting their sweet eyes in my domain(picture above). The Lake of Licorice shall make them forget of all their worries and keep them in a perfect, picturesque slumber. The thief of my Soul Jam, that tamarind-flavored one, evades me still. A good dream-filled slumber would suit them better than any one of their obnoxious campfire tunes ever allow. The fates of my old allies have mostly been unfortunate when in contact with their counterparts, ending in turmoil and even, Dough forbid, betrayal in false allyship. Stagnant Water Cookie, that prickly idiot, always takes it too far, and this time was no better. Kept their counterpart tortured and locked in a cell for near two months, the poor thing. I almost felt glad when he escaped, but my utmost Cowardice prevented me from doing so. My thief must be so frightened, wandering the expanse of my domain alone. It's only a matter of time before they come crawling back to me on their hands and knees begging for forgiveness. Don't you have anything better to do besides reading this useless post? This is all meaningless in the face of my domain. Farewell. I hope we never cross paths again. -L.I.C

UPDATE ON BEASTS 4 AND 5

Sorry for the radio silence, everyone! I've been trying to get some notes on the remaining Beasts, but it's been a really big hassle ever since I came back from the Forest of Decay. Apparently, the powers that be on this version of Earthbread have prevented myself and my allies from journeying further into Beast-Yeast for a week or two now...We haven't been given a reason why as of yet, but rest assured I will have the proper entries set up as soon as we fix this! I know there's only a small audience who knows about me right now, currently, but I hope more people will be able to see my hard work(It's extra credit for one of my Archival assignments)! Farewell for now! -M.C2 (OOC EXPLANATION: I have orchestra later today lmao im prolly gonna get a lore thing out during the weekend or something)
