Why Is It Called That? (Radiance: Reborn Edition)

I sat on the task of officially naming my AU revolving around the Golden Cheese Kingdom for a long time, but I think I've finally settled on the title of Radiance: Reborn, or RA:RE for short. It was initially suggested to me by a friend, and I wasn't sure at first, but the longer I thought about it, the more sense it made! The reasons I chose it, for anyone who might be curious, are as follows:

The AU's themes of rebirth and renewal

The AU fleshing out the kingdom and bringing back scrapped characters

The acronym RA:RE

The unique nature of the AU's tag

Rebirth & Renewal

The AU has heavy themes of rebirth and renewal, both in its characters and overall concept. In a general sense, it portrays what occurred prior to the fall of the Golden Cheese Kingdom, all the way up until it's completely rebuilt in the distant future. The radiance of the shining city itself is, you guessed it—reborn anew. There's a rather large focus on the shattering of relationships, too, as well as the eventual rekindling that can occur with understanding and effort put into changing for the better. And, for Gilded Gouda Cookie in particular (who is arguably the main character), her identity changes a lot across time; she metaphorically dies and is reborn more than once throughout the story, until she can finally shine with the radiance she deserves. The AU features a lot of death, decay, and suffering, but it ultimately gives way to something new and arguably stronger than what was there before, rather than simply putting the pieces of something broken back together.

Portraying the Kingdom in a New Light

By taking scrapped characters and giving them new stories, complex personalities, and updated abilities, they are effectively reborn and so too is the kingdom by extension. The kingdom as a whole is given additional lore regarding its culture, how it came to be, what it will be like in the future, and much more! The intent is to flesh out the entirety of the Golden Cheese Kingdom to make it more multi-faceted under the surface, filling in gaps that we have yet to see. Hopefully, every character will be given their moment to shine as the AU continues to develop.

The Acronym

Lastly, the AU's acronym. An acronym that spells out 'rare' is pretty fitting for an AU revolving around the Golden Cheese Kingdom, in my opinion. Not only are the characters in it arguably underappreciated (thus having fewer AUs with them as the primary focus), but glimmering gold and treasures are typically considered rare and valuable in their own right. The acronym also spells out something else, too, even if it can be considered a stretch in some capacity: Ra, the ancient Egyptian god that Golden Cheese Cookie takes direct inspiration from, and re-, the prefix meaning "again". Makes sense for an AU that focuses heavily upon Golden Cheese Cookie's daughter, her struggles, and her eventual rise to power as queen!

The RA:RE Tag

All symbolism aside, no one is using the RA:RE tag on Tumblr (or most social media sites for that matter), save for me and anyone referring to the AU! That means it should be super easy to search for RA:RE content, or even post about it if you somehow end up as crazy about this AU as I am!
