Swallow Falls quietly lives its life, eating sardines all over the city, which does not suit anyone, but the residents have no other choice. So it goes on until one day a strange boy comes to town, full of strength and hope. It turns out his name is Filbert Lockwood and he is 26 years old. Short for Filby. He is a novice pastry chef and, after learning about the Swallow Falls, its inhabitants and their "rich" food, decides to come here and open his own restaurant. He does it, his food is simply amazing for the residents, soon Filbert becomes a famous float chef. Life begins to acquire new bright colors, previously unseen.
There will be no events from films 1 and 2 in this AU, since there are no reasons for such fantastic catastrophes as a Food Storm. Filbert is an ordinary chef who is not able to arrange something like this. However, he is able to create foodimals together with his best friend Flint.
Filbert is not only a cook, but also loves science, just like Flint Lockwood, the local notorious inventor. Filbert is Flint's second cousin, as a child he often visited Fran, Flint's mother and his great aunt, because Flint and Filbert know each other well. In the end, these two support each other in their hobby (for Flint, a profession) and Filbert does not consider Lockwood strange at all, rather on the contrary, the sanest in Swallow Falls.
Filbert will also make friends with Sam, as she is Flint's first best friend and they will love to talk about the weather. Filbert will dream of edible rain, which in reality, of course, does not exist.
Filbert won't be on good terms with Brent because he's an upstart, a so-called "wet chicken" (Filby loves to call him that) and he's bullying Flint. In addition to Brent, Filbert will not love Gil either, because he considers him to be the same upstart and a person who wants not to remain in the shadows and always attracts attention to himself, and Filby does not like such people. He doesn't know about Gil's abusive relationship with his father, lol.
Filby will avoid Bella because she is his ardent fan, who also loves the kitchen and this young, still in the prime of life, chef.
But Filby will be on good terms with Cal and Joe.
- Filby is about the same height as Flint, a couple of centimeters taller than Flint.
- His restaurant is called "Chewandswallow".
- Since Filby is a kind and soft-hearted guy, he tries to dress up cool and show himself from a cold and relaxed side at various conferences, meetings, interviews, etc. He does this because he wants to have a reputation not just as a chef, but as a respected, strict and demanding chef and the head of a large restaurant chain, which is worth being afraid of. Only people close to him know that this is an image and in fact Filbert is not at all what he seems in public.
- Together with Flint, they will create a new kind of life - foodimals. These are lively foods, some of them look like animals.
- Filbert will notice that Flint's idol and a well-known scientist, Chester V, who is too painfully interested in animal products, has appeared in the Swallow Falls. Filby doesn't believe him a bit.
- Filbert is for healthy lifestyle, he does not drink and does not inject, but sometimes, quite infrequently, he is not averse to lighting a cigarette.
- Filbert is asexual and does not have a romantic relationship with anyone.
- Filbert loved Fran very much and was even depressed for a while after learning about her death. Together with Flint, they often come to her grave.
I'm not giving up on the AU where FLDSMDFR is a human robot, it's just that I now have as many as 3 CWACOM AU🐥
