Problematic BodySwap - Au Storys - 1

Once appon a Au, well two actually, a "god" decided that for her own amusement she would swap two people from different au's bodys, the chosen people were Cindy from Horrortales and Lucille from Horrorswaps, these two innocent girls will have to learn as much as possible about each other to be each other. Maybe now, theyll get the new start at life that they always wanted. What a intresting experiance this will be huh?

"First impressions"

"Lucille" starts waking up, tired as always, and thinking its going to be another boring day at school, Luna being annoying and pretty, Sage being herself and venting about more things that are wrong with her and crushing on Malicr, Malice herself being her cold silent self, Stella being her own weird self with those weird videos she does. She cant help but want to stay in bed as always but she needs to get ready, when she looks to the side though she doesnt see her normal things she seems to be on the top bunk of a bunk bed, analizeing her environments she gets closer to the edge of the bunkbed, looking down at the room, it isnt her room, nor her sister's or any room in her house, its a pretty room, it has a bookcase, a beanbag, a window above a bigger bed, a younger girl seems to be sleeping on it, whos that she questions? But then it hits her, she panicks abit, did she get kidnapped? Where is she? Why is she here??

After abit of questioning she has to find out more, she climbs down and looks at the clock next to the bed of that girl, 6am, right, the advantages of having sleeping problems, she goes check if the door is locked and to her suprise it isnt, so she gets out and opens each room upstairs to find out if there is any other children here or even adults, but no, not one. It was just her and that other, but then she walks past a mirror and.. whats this? Whos that girl?, she back tracks to see, this girl is immitateing her movements, she asks if she is ok but she just mimics her mouth movemnt.. "Lucille" starts to touch her own face.. wait its different? She starts to understand, she touches her two ponytails and.. theyre there! Her hair, its all very dark purple? Almost black? She didnt have plastic surgery, she couldnt, it feels too natural, this isnt her body, she understands now, this isnt her house but this girl's.. she decides to look downstairs abit more relaxed

As she is going down the stairs someone with the same voice as her original mother asks "Hazel is that you?" Her not knowing how to answer becouse she didnt know her own new name said "Maybe?!.. Good morning though!" She was suprised, her voice wasnt hers. Oh wait, ofcourse it wasnt, it wasnt even her body to bigin with. She goes over to where her "mother" Ella is, and she's in the kitchen making something, she has a face mask on, "Lucille" wanders why she is wearing that, but then she looks at her, her eyes were blue, so.. thats not her mother? Her mother has yellow eyes! Not blue!! The imposter mother says "Oh Lucille! Youre awake before your sister today? Did you have a nightmare again?" ..So thats her name, "Lucille"? Its a pretty name, who ever this girl was, she had almost the exact same mom as her and she guesses who ever this Hazel girl was is that Sister her mother talked about, and since that girl upstairs looks to be the only other person here.. its her. She is Hazel isnt she? "Lucille" answers her inposter mother. "Hum.. yeah, suprising huh?... I was going to wake up Hazel to see if she would confort me but.. I didnt want to disturb her." The way she talked made the inposter mom abit confused, seemingly suspecting something's wrong. But then she just sighs "..Lucy, can you please not talk in that tone? I know youre growing and still pretty traumatized by the car crash.. believe me we all are still not passed it... but it doesnt give you the right to talk like that..." This suprises "Lucille", there was a car crash here too? And the only way she would be traumatized is if.. she was in the car that day, she feels sorry for this girl, Lucille, she feels bad about talking in that tone too, defencive and abit agressive. "Im sorry ..mom? I didnt mean to talk like that... it was just a really scary dream... thats all" the imposter mom seems to be satisfied with that responce! "Ok ok.. its alright Lucy, just- please dont do that again... and come here.." so she was right to assume she was theyre mother, she goes and sees that her mother seems to want a hug, so she gives one to her, a tight one, her mother giggles happily as she hugs back, they share a hug for a few minutes, her mom returns ti making Coffee, "Lucille" trys to start making her own breakfest but her mom ask what she is doing, when she explains its breakfest, she asks if she doesnt want her to make it as usual anymore? She is abit dumb founded by this, she likes tis new mom! She accepts the breakfest to be made by her, "Lucille" heads on over to what seems to be the livingroom and sits down thinking about whats going on

Soon after, Hazel, she is awake and down there, she looks so neutrel, and doesnt direct a word to "Lucille", she pressured by her stare says "G- Good morning Hazel, how did you sleep?" Hazel seemed cold, she responded with a flat "Fine. Good morning Lucille." For some reason she thought, this girl sounds smart. Her new sister sounds smart. Shr likes that, she loved her old innocent and pure sister but this one's nice too "..Do you maybe want to talk about something Hazel?" Hazel responded with another flat line "Nothing youd understand much of Lucy.." though it seems like this Lucille girl wasnt very smart, atleast as smart as Hazel, but Sin thinks she might be smarter. "Well try me Hazel, what wouldnt I understand? Maybe Ill suprise you.." this responce on its own suprised Hazel, normaly Lucille admited defeat immeatly, admiting Hazel would probably be right but that sence of suprised was short lived as her expression quickly changed back to unamused nutreal, "Well id like to talk about lets say.. quantum physics and what could be possible to do with them." But well "Lucille" could hear in her voice that she seemed to think she wouldnt be able to talk about it but she could, she started with "Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at the most fundamental level if Im not mistaken, it aims to uncover the properties and behaviors of the very building blocks of all nature, not nature as in the outside but the rules of this universe, its believed that quantum phisycs can be used to travle thro time or to alternet realitys, or even universes, although I believe its more likely for us to be able to use it for teleportation first. :3" Hazel seems dumb founded, when did she learn this? Why? Hazel wants to test "Lucille's" new found knolage! And they start talking about it, "Lucille" or should I say Cindy, likes this place already, what a nice family these people have!

"Cindy" starts waking up, as usual with a rush of energy from the reacurring nightmare she always has, she could wait to talk to Hazel and her friends the whole day and spend no time alone at all. As always, she doesnt want to be alone, she is very scared of that, being alone? But well, she sits up, not so ready for this day, not so ready to walk down the ladders of her bunkbed and have her the breakfest that her mother always prepered for her but she didnt want her too, but to her suprise, she looked around and a shiver went thro her spine, she was alone in a room she has never been in before, not even in a bunkbed. She got out and immideatly ran to the door, its 7am already, pretty late for "Cindy" to wake up, she got out of the room room to look for Hazel, she needs her and now but as she ran thro the hallway to check the rooms, a Mirror. She looked twards it and got confused, she backtracked by walking backwards and looks at it.. who was that? Was that her? She looks do different! This was deffenetly magic! But as she started to touch herself she kinda realized her clothes where the ones in the mirror and there is hair slightly blocking her vision on one eye, her eyes looks so pretty too, a blue and green one, she want in her body for sure! She more calmly but still scared of being alone walked thro the corridor, she called out for someone "Hello? S- Someone there?" She was speachless after that though, that wasnt her voice! Sounded so much more mature, but she heard someone "Cindy? Im here!" And then some cute giggles, she goes to that sound, whos tha girl she wanders, she goes im the room the voice came from and its a little girl, roughly 8 or 9, very cute and looks simmilar to who ever this Cindy girl is, who she assumes the body belongs to, she sees her and says happily "Sis!! You came this time! :D" all happily and gets uo and hugs her, "Cindy" cant help but hug her back, she's so cute "Awwww ofcourse I came, why wouldnt I? ..whats youre name again :3? Pfffft?" "Cindy" asked her name in a playfull tone so she didnt get upset she forgot her name, she answer all happily "Its me!! Annie silly :3! I love you Cindy!!" She thinks to herself "(Awwwww this little girl is adorable! Am I her sister now? I mean.. she called me sis just abit ago..)" but had to answer her "Awww I love you too Annie, look at you all grown up!! Hehe, what do you wana do today? ^^" she doesnt know what this Cindy girl does thro her day to day but she bets the sister knows that! "Oh!! Yayyyyy!! :D I would likeeee.. you to help me pick my clothes for today!! Then! Then! We can go eat and get ready for school!! I- I feel like today will be amazing!!!" She squeels of happyness, and hugs tighter, "Cindy" giggles and agrees, asking her where the choises are, she shows her and "Cindy" picks immideatly the most pretty little dress for her! And she absolutely loves it, she wears it all happily and theh go downstairs

She as theyre comming down stairs sees her mom pass by in a hurry, she had no mask on and yellow eyes, she guesses it isnt her mother but this Cindy girl's mother maybe? She says "Hey girls!! Um mommy needs to go already but I love you and Ill be back at 7!!" She before "Cindy" can protest kisses both theyre cheeks and goes running out the door, Annie says "Bye mommy!! Have a good day!" So "Cindy" hesitates and says "B- Bye um M- Mom!!"

Annie excitedly went to the kitchen and started making some food, this little girl could cook?.. her mom didnt make her breakfest? Well she looked busy so she couldnt blame her, for a few seconds she stared blankly at what Annie was doing untill she asked if she was going to eat breakfest too today or skip it like usual, "Cindy" understood she was supose to make it and Cindy normaly didnt, weirdly she got excited and said she was going to eat this time, but only if Annie helped, and so she did, she was really excited to cook breakfest, she made buttered toast with a sunny side up egg with a slice of chesse and ham, she ate it and loved it, even shared with her new sister! She always wanted this, a new life, although she wanted it with her sister, this was ok, she liked this, she kept asking Annie what to do next and so she went to Shower, it was.. weird showering, she changes the way her hair was, but then after that she puts one some cute clothes, then is informed she needs the uniform for school, so she changed into that! But with some alterations, aka more clothes ontop, anf theyre ready to go!! She already loves this place! A really nice life this Cindy girl had, well its hers now.. she does feel abit bad stealing it just like that but it feels so right to be in this girl's place. She loves it!

revising your writing is just like "is this weird. is this a weird sentence. is this the weirdest most poorly-worded sentence ever written by anyone" and the sentence in question is "he walked across the room"

I love a character raised to be a weapon as much as the next guy. But what really gets me is a character raised to be a shield. Who can’t fathom being needed—or even being wanted— beyond keeping others safe. Who believe they are alive only to insure someone doesn’t die. no matter the cost. Characters who self-sacrifice not because they think they deserve it, but because no one else does deserve it, and it’s their job to protect.

Characters who’ve been told that’s why your important. Your worth something because this other person/ thing is important, and you are here solely to keep them safe.

Bonus points if it’s not a legitimate job they’ve been given. Maybe at one point it was, but now that they are free from it, they haven’t given up that mentality. No one is forcing or asking them to do this, but they need to. They need to in order to be deserving.

people on twitter freaking the hell out because rebecca sugar drew a comic of pearl and greg having a messy situationship in the aftermath of rose dying wasn't on my 2024 bingo card if I'm being honest

even Less so because the thing they're apparently mad about is that the nonbinary alien rock was supposed to be a lesbian (as if there's anything wrong with a nonbinary alien rock being bisexual, Or that lesbian can't have a situationship with a man without still being a lesbian on the other side.)

anyways, may take on it is: you don't have to consider any of rebecca sugar's sketches "canon," because it's not actually in the source material. rebecca may have a strong influence on how the fandom sees the characters but it does Not actually change the show. so getting worked up about it in the first place is ridiculous.

That Said, it kinda works with whatever they had going on in the show if I'm being honest

Just opened my fic document and found this

Thanks, past me. Incredibly helpful.

[so-many-ocs]

found out apparently if you want to consume content of your own original characters and stories you usually have to make that content? fucked up if true

Yay, unsolicited advice time! Or, not really advice, more like miscellaneous tips and tricks, because if there's one thing eight years of martial arts has equipped me to write, it's fight scenes.

.

Fun things to add to a fight scene (hand to hand edition)

It's not uncommon for two people to kick at the same time and smack their shins together, or for one person to block a kick with their shin. This is called a shin lock and it HURTS like a BITCH. You can be limping for the rest of the fight if you do it hard enough.

If your character is mean and short, they can block kicks with the tip of their elbow, which hurts the other guy a lot more and them a lot less

Headbutts are a quick way to give yourself a concussion

If a character has had many concussions, they will be easier to knock out. This is called glass jaw.

Bad places to get hit that aren't the groin: solar plexus, liver, back of the head, side of the thigh (a lot of leg kicks aim for this because if it connects, your opponent will be limping)

Give your character a fighting style. It helps establish their personality and physicality. Are they a grappler? Do they prefer kicks or fighting up close? How well trained are they?

Your scalp bleeds a lot and this can get in your eyes, blinding you

If you get hit in the nose, your eyes water

Adrenaline's a hell of a drug. Most of the time, you're not going to know how badly you've been hurt until after the fact

Even with good technique, it's really easy to break toes and fingers

Blocking hurts, dodging doesn't

.

Just thought these might be useful! If you want a more comprehensive guide or a weapons edition, feel free to ask. If you want, write how your characters fight in the comments!

Have a bitchin day <3
