Ancients and beasts swap AU

golden cheese and dark cacao

In this AU the beasts and the ancient swap roles AND era, so the ancients first and then beast second.

The original ancients are made TO BE a god by the witches, patron of everything good and virtuous for the cookiekind. Sadly they fell to their greed and pride, basking themselves with praise and adoration believing that it was rightfully theirs.

They fell from grace and corrupt themselves with their own sin.

Dark cacao cookie, once the strong protector of cookiekind with his strong sense of resolution now obsessively believed in the unchanging tomorrow, the eternity, the preservation, like how the everwinter surrounds his kingdom.

Turning himself to Bitter Cacao Cookie

But, for his people, What is the preservation brought after by their god?

Golden cheese cookie, the golden sovereign, the goddess of abundance of a destroyed civilization. Made her to hunger for more and more treasures, the insatiable hunger for earthly desires and more.

Turning herself to Ethereal cheese cookie

Will her hunger one day be quench?

Part 2 the other ancients

Also concept for swap au burning spice and mystic flour

[mothfaults]

Burning spice in the swap au is a young ruler, only having taken charge of the spice swarm within recent time, but he's not really a good ruler he doesn't even do much. He's bored and that is coming out in burst of destructive fits, which most chalk up to his soul jam being the light of Action. Swap!Spice was certain when the Vulture queen arrived on his door step wanting his half back, he'd be able to fend her off. Unlike canon where the ancients have a loss and then a win, Spice loses both times, and his soul jam in the process. And pictured here the moment after Swap!smilk gave Spice his wonderful advice

The five beast cookies in my personality swap au!!! Idea by @masked17majora !!

[fallen-kingdoms-crk]

"... Are you sure you can go on this mission alone?"

...

"Well, no, I'm not saying you can't! You're just... um... what's the word..."

"Weak...?"

...!

"Woah! Hey-! I didn't mean it in a bad way, I just... I don't want a friend of mine to... get hurt."

...

"If you say so..."

"Ah- here! Take this...!"

[you received a blueberry broach!]

...?

"It's a little attachment to your satchel! It's so I can keep an eye on you to make sure you're safe!"

...!

"I do trust you!! It's just... I can't see into that forest anymore... it's put me on edge all day... just- be careful in there, will ya?"

...

"... thanks, buddy."

"I... should probably mention that my magic has been being intercepted lately, as well... so if you end up somewhere bad, I'll come get you... as fast as I can without teleportation"

?!

"See you when you get back, buddy!~"

[you feel something harshly wrap around you and pull you out of the stream...]

-----

"Um... I am... so sorry for my friends actions to you. I promise they means no harm! ... I-I think."

I have a question, if the ancient heroes are the villains in A.U., what does the beast cookie look like as good guys?(Do they look the same but in a good guy's way?)

Unfortunately for everyone, the old beasts don’t become good. We just have 10 bad guys

[starry-bi-sky]

Mother of Monsters - DPxDC au,,,, snippet? headcanon thing? I briefly wrote words

Layal's (Fem!Dan's) aesthetic swerves from one side to the other on the metronome: either she's dressed like royalty (she is a combination of Vlad and an Al Ghul, after all), adorned in silks and satins and gold. Or, and you'll see this on her island more often than anywhere else, she's dressed like a farmhand.

You see, it's hard to wear your favorite silks when you have to bottle feed a wyvern later -- for more reasons than just getting it dirty. Getting any form of stain out of silk is so difficult, but trying to keep a squirming little beast still against the fabric even more so. They can be so clingy, and she's lost many of her favorite robes against their knife-sharp claws.

And you can't play with the stymphalian vultures while wearing your favorite gold bangles and ruby earrings, or you'll lose your hand and never see either of your earrings again. They love their shinies, magpies, all of them.

And oh, ancients forbid, her greedy little sea serpents found it funny to snag their maws on her velvet sleeves and hems and drag her into the water with them. They were practicing their drowning techniques, and while she couldn't be more proud, she wished it didn't have to come at the cost of her nicest clothes.

So yes, it didn't take her too long to realize that her favored extravagant style had to be swapped out -- for all of their sakes.

[brittle-doughie]

so, firstly, hey. Secondly, gonna do this anonymously cuz heaven knows what I'm about to say makes little to no sense. Thirdly, don't bite me for this weird as heck idea.

So everyone is going on about au's where ancients become beast ancients or swap places with them. My brain has recently been cooking (and probably burning) this new au similar yet very different. Mainly because the ancients and beasts are completely different cookies. Forgive me, for I'm about to start an entire novel about this thought.

It's like a role swap between the brave gang + ancients side kicks swapping with the ancients and beasts. I already saw someone make art of what soul jams the brave gang would get and it aligned with this au partially. The sidekicks swap with their ancients and the beasts swap with the brave gang. (yeah no, see why i went anonymous?) The only names that change are the beasts and the brave gang cuz I can't get the others names for crack

Ancients and their sidekicks

pure vanilla cookie and black raisin cookie. (don't question it, she's practically his sidekick so it just made sense)

Dark Cacao cookie and Caramel arrow cookie (and before anyone anyone asks "why not dark choco cooki-" I will smack the ever living daylight out of you, don't test me.)

Golden cheese cookie swaps with smoked cheese cookie (originally I wanted to do mozzarella cookie but then I questioned if that made sense considering what went down in beast yeast. I'm still unsure how to make that idea work considering their styles and whatnot but I'll figure it out. tempted to go back to mozzarella cookie tbh)

Wildberry cookie and hollyberry cookie. (we don't talk about pitaya)

white lily cookie and silverbell cookie. (Is he a child? Probably. Does it make for good character development in his time as an ancient? Hopefully. Does he also go evil like white lily cookie after finding out witches eat cookies? Can't confirm nor deny)

Beasts and bravegang (the ask is getting long so Imma just give the new names and you'll figure it out at this rate)

Light milk cookie and Shadow wizard cookie

Flour cookie and Mystic custard cookie

Chilli spice cookie and Burning pepper cookie

Sugar cookie and Eternal strawberry cookie

Salt cookie and Silent ginger cookie

Part of me wants this to be swallowed by the ask Karmen but it'd be nice if you did answer it. Thanks and goodbye

While it would be quite the interesting concept of having the Brave gang be in the positions of the Beasts, I’m kinda leaning towards Beast Ancients as my preferred taste, it just fits well given their relationship and concepts opposed to the Beasts.

Also, this is me being unsure, but I don’t think Silverbell Cookie is a child.

[parfaediasux]

knowledge and delusion.

i've been working on my reverse AU, and i finally drew shadow milk and pure vanilla! they were the first swap i came up with, and i'm pretty happy with them now, so it's time to share!

i've always felt as if shadow milk would have been the only beast to ACTUALLY change his name, as some sort of new stage persona. so, he will be the only beast/ancient to change names in the AU.

azure milk cookie

the ancient hero of knowledge. azure milk cookie is a jester of highest status, with a knack for magic - which he teaches to his ever-loyal subjects. rumors are spread of his true power, although nobody has claimed to have seen him use the light of knowledge in person. in fact, the soul jam he wears seems almost... dim. perhaps there's more to him than meets the public eye?

pure vanilla cookie

formerly a beacon of truth, the tragic hero had experienced failure after failure, losing those most important to him. truth turned to delusion, and pure vanilla cookie trapped himself in a false reality where everything was okay again. any speech of the truth would be blocked out, and eventually met with psychotic rage. as to prevent any further damage, pure vanilla was sealed within the silver tree, although he may still live inside a delusion to this day.

[fluffshi-wxffle]

For those who have Beast-Ancient swap AUs, with Golden Cheese and Burning Spice, does Beast!Golden Cheese rip off Ancient!Burning Spice's extra pair of arms and when he awakens he gets the 2 pairs like in Herald of Change sprite?

[thatonecatboots]

With your CRK swap au, who swaps with who? Also, are the virtues and vices the same?

basicalllyyyyy, the Kingdoms stay the same n all, but the Ancients corrupt and the Beasts uhmmmmmmmm,,,, uncorrupt idk,,,, new idea, not sorted it out much, but I've got names!! And yes, they stay the same!! I'll eventually sort out lore i SWEAR I'm just procrastinating life at this point 💀💀💀

Pure Vanilla = Tainted Vanilla

Dark Cacao = Veiled Cacao

Hollyberry = Fainéance Berry

White Lily = Quiet Lily

Golden Cheese = ((???? Maybe Ravaging Cheese??? Not sorted her out yet 😔😔))

Shadow Milk = Light Milk

Mystic Flour = Gentle Flour

Eternal Sugar = Elegant Sweet ((??? Might become sumthin like Passionate Sugar idkkk))

Silent Salt = Reprieve Salt ((?? Possibly??))

Burning Spice = Lavish Spice

I'm gonna sort it out soon i thINK/hope

Lil funfact about pure flour cookie

[mothfaults]

More info on the beast of Omission, when I was designing him I thought of like an Odin type character, where he goes in disguise to test cookies and those who he thinks are worthy are healed In the world of this beast swap he would still be called a hero and worshiped, which makes some pretty big shoes for his replacement to fill Ive got the other four already figured out, but designing is hard,,,

[tinycheesecakedetective]

...I'm baaaack.

I mean, I made one post about Swap!PV and then got distracted for months, so I wouldn't really call this a comeback. The moment I did come back though, apparently a bunch of lore just fell from the sky! Beast Yeast is upon us and all of a sudden I remember making an alt. version of this goober.

Turns out there were a few things I wasn't satisfied with in the first one, so here I am with my Swap!Vanilla 2.0 human edition! Even after all this time I still don't have a name for him. There's more white in his design, he has four horns instead of two and they form a crown on his head(that might be a bit hard to see), he also has a halo, his staff changed drastically, and he lost his soul gem. Instead he has two new smaller gems on his "ribcage".

This time around I tried to invoke more death themes, hence the ribcage, more wrappings, the halo, and the burn marks from, y'know, being re-baked and essentially reborn. The halo also makes for a nice double meaning, showing his somewhat good intentions behind the violence and spreading chaos gig.

Speaking of intentions, I maybe or maybe not have mentioned the only swaps happening in this proposed AU are between PV and WL and [possibly] Black Raisin and Red Velvet. I say maybe because if I checked, all the writing would disappear and I would have to start over again. However, I have wondered if those two swapped, how would PV handled the kingdoms? Would it be the same as DE or would the fates of each kingdom end up being swapped as well? It's something I definitely need to think on and develop.

Anyways, ramble break, here's a few doodles I did for Swap!PV!

Yeah, I had a lot of fun doing this. SO! A few changes not mentioned prior. Eyes! There are more eyes, especially on his coat. I took a bit of inspiration from a certain blue jester and his realm of nightmares. It also plays nicely with the whole "truth revealed" theme. Why not give the holder of the light of truth a bunch of opened eyes to represent his awakening? Also they looked good and his cape-coat was too plain without it.

Fun Head Canons: He's always floating, even when he's relaxing his feet never touch the floor. This PV still has a lily garden, it's just hidden away because while he still misses WL despite everything, he refuses to show weakness in front of others. His coat can take the shape of angel wings when angry and multiple eyes can appear when furious or in distress. Speaking of eyes, the ones on his coat glow. Those gems on him are pieces of moonstone that got corrupted after saving him.

As for the story behind him, I had to make a few adjustments. For one, DE and WL are two halves of the same whole, and the only reason either of them exists is thanks to precautions taken by Elder Faerie. Which means Pure Vanilla somehow has to get the stuff from Lily, who came to Beast Yeast without saying much of anything to anyone beforehand. Secondly, it means the Pure Vanilla Kingdom can't be the last kingdom explored. Pre Beast Yeast, the order in which the kingdoms would be explored would change, where White Lily's area would be explored first instead and the Vanilla Kingdom would be last. I'll address the second issue on a different post related to White Lily, but first things first. Fair warning, I wrote quite a bit.

~~~

After forming the seal, White Lily falls ill due to the immense amount of power used. She's not used to using so much of her soul gem, much less creating a seal to lock away ancient evils. Seeing her faltering state, Elder Faerie takes her away to his palace to help her recover. During her time in the palace, White Lily becomes distressed because not only does she feel like she's being a burden, but she won't be able to continue her research on how cookies were made. That was the whole point of coming here, after all. She left her friends and home behind to find the truth and ended up sick and bed ridden instead. The least she could do to redeem herself was to find the truth.

Racked with guilt and regret, she asks Elder Faerie for two favors; she wishes to know the secret behind cookies' creation, and she requests a pen and paper to write with. Before long, White Lily gains a messenger(Silverbell) who gives her books from the library to read, and a way to reach the one other person she understands. Someone who should've known where she was most of all. Pure Vanilla Cookie.

From there the two keep exchanging letters as White Lily brushes up on fae and beast lore. But eventually White Lily would learn about the Night of the Witches in a similar enough way to canon, i.e. finding the book about it. While she's recovered enough, she's still not well enough to go, and Elder Faerie isn't risking her well being and safety for a banquet. She's devastated that her questions may never be answered. If only she could go, if only there was some way to witness it while being in the Fairy Kingdom. And then... she realizes something. Perhaps there is a way for her to know after all...

White Lily, in the discomfort of her hospital bed, writes a letter to Pure Vanilla and asks him to go to the Witch's Banquet in her place. She knows that this is a huge ask, and he has every reason to refuse the favor, but it would mean the world to her if he did. Elder Faerie hears about this and is rightfully worried, telling her about the dangers, and any cookie that goes doesn't come back the same, if at all. He sends his own letter to Pure Vanilla to warn him of the dangers that lie ahead. A few more letters come in from WL apologizing for her request, saying it was out of line and inappropriate. "What a selfish request," she thinks, "after leaving him in the dark for so long, I have the nerve to ask him for anything at all?"

However, despite everything, he eventually decides to go. He knows that this means everything to her, and a part of Pure Vanilla secretly wondered about it as well. White Lily searched heaven and earth to find the truth so she could help others. Why would he keep avoiding it for so long? If he knew the truth as well, perhaps he could use these secrets to help the people of Earthbread alongside her. Maybe now he would finally understand White Lily more.

He wrote a letter addressed to both WL and EF about his final decision. White Lily is surprised at his decision, and is eternally grateful, while Elder Faerie is more resigned and concerned, knowing that he won't be able to change his mind but still wanting to help. He asks her to help write her next letter, and the two send a package to Pure Vanilla. Inside was another letter with the faint smell of lilies, as well as a map to the location of the banquet and a moonstone from Elder Faerie as a show of goodwill and for protection. He in turn sends what would become his final letter to her, unbeknownst to the two reading. He expresses his gratefulness to both WL and EF and declares his determination to find answers both for her and for the sake of everyone, stating, "Let me be your hope when you have none, and you my guiding light in shadows..."

Pure Vanilla proceeds to head to the Witch's Banquet, discovers the bitter truth, and in his attempts to save the other cookies falls into the ultimate dough. The fleeting scent of lilies is the last thing he grasps in his final moments, and the faint glow of a moonstone ensures his survival. His soul gem shatters under the weight of the truth and is scattered across the world, longing to be made whole once again.

~~~

Well! I think I have said everything I can say about him for now. I'm sure I can come up with more things later, but if you read this far, thanks for reading! I did not know I was going to say this much, so yeah. Next post is for White Lily specifically, I hope. I'm also taking suggestions for ideas about the other kingdoms and ways this could go, so if you have anything to suggest, let me know. Y'all have a good evening!

[mime-the]

Hello guys, gals, and nonbinary pals!

It’s time for me to share my CRK AU, which was oh so nicely encouraged to be done by a few little peeps. [You know who you are…]

Ahem, here we go!

Summary

The Mirrored Destinies AU is basically a swap between the 5 ancients and their respective beasts. Shadow Milk swaps roles with Pure Vanilla, and so on! This influences everyone’s personalities to be tweaked for obvious reasons, and for silly new dynamics.

Deceit & Truth

Pure Vanilla Cookie is now the Beast of Deceit. This brings along a name change, and he becomes Vanilla Extract Cookie!

- Vanilla Extract follows an “ignorance is bliss” philosophy. This means that he conceals the truth and twists it to be more “appealing”. He covers up whatever bad deeds his friends do and passes the harder ones as good deeds that were “probably deserved”. This lack of concrete knowledge allows him to manipulate cookies in his favor, as they don’t have the information to allow them to break out of his lies.

- He uses his magic to apply pressure and fog up other cookies’ minds, giving him an opening to sow his own truth. He may not be a complete puppeteer like canonical Shadow Milk, but he still uses others to do his dirty work by whispering sweet lies to them.

- He’s more calm, but still relatively snarky and keen to stand his ground if someone tries to go against him. Vanilla Extract also has a superiority complex, perceiving himself as the master of knowledge and believes that he knows what’s “right” for everyone.

- Vanilla Extract’s greatest ally is this AU’s White Lily Cookie, as the virtue of silence tends to go hand in hand with keeping the truth hidden.

Here’s what the old man looks like:

In turn, Shadow Milk Cookie is now the holder of the light of truth! This too carries along a name change, making him Skim Milk Cookie.

- Skim Milk is the embodiment of the phrase “curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.” He always seeks out the truth of a situation, even if it may result in upsetting knowledge. He also frequently gives constructive criticism to other cookies, in attempts to make them aware of their faults and where they can get better. This is usually prefaced with a “Can I be honest with you?”

- Like the canonical Pure Vanilla, he is adept in healing magic. Unlike him though, Skim Milk is more willing to use force when necessary. Of course, if a situation can be resolved without escalation he will take it, and frequently tries to deescalate if he sees things getting antsy. He also uses the knowledge he has to write poems, songs, and other such creative things in order to bring awareness to issues or progress of things that people should support.

- He’s pretty high-energy, and is almost always moving or thinking. This means he has a tendency for tapping his hands on items. Personality-wise, it means he is actually relatively optimistic! He always believes things will be better, and that every issue can be worked out in the end. He does also have some sass to him though, but he does his best to keep it at a minimum.

Here’s how the dork looks like:

Their Dynamic

The relationship between them sparked when Vanilla Extract Cookie wriggled out of the silver tree, fully solidifying the connection between the two, even after resealing. They share a mutual hate for each other, as Skim Milk despises how his counterpart keeps waving away the truth in favor of lies, and Vanilla Extract despises how many questions the poet constantly asks him. Vanilla Extract tries to get him to use his writing capabilities to sow in distrust and discord between other cookies whenever the two interact, but Skim Milk always fights back. In return, he constantly tries to interrogate the beast for information about the past and his own life, which pisses him off frequently as he insists that the information doesn’t concern the hero. It’s a constant tug of war between the two…
