✿ Forgotten Land Roleswap AU ✿

✦ 3rd Anniversary ✦

I was hoping to get this Light Novel cover redraw finished by today, but I haven't been feeling well and ran out of time- but I still wanted to at least share this WIP and muse on how much things have grown during these three years, and how much this project has meant to me so far.

April 12, 2022 was the day I created posted the first doodles that would, unbeknownst to me at the time, germinate the idea that would transform into a passion project spanning multiple years. I had just finished Kirby and the Forgotten Land's story and slowly getting back into the Kirby fandom space for the first time in years. It had been a long time since a game made me feel as wonderful as Forgotten Land did. I've loved Bandana Waddle Dee since I first played Return to Dreamland on the Wii when I was a kid, and wished he had more opportunities to shine outside of directly supporting Kirby in the game. I also love "What If" and "Roleswap" AUs, so I considered what would happen if I swapped Bandana Dee and King Dedede's role in the game.

The posts didn't really get much traction at first, which was fine. But I kept going back to the idea after a few days and thinking about how to push it further. Instead of just swapping Bandee and Dedede, what if Dedede was Player 1 to increase the stakes of rescuing the kidnapped Waddle Dees? Dedede wouldn't have access to Mouthful Mode, so how would the gameplay work then? Instead of Kirby taking care of everything with his own Mouthful Mode, it could be more fun to have Meta Knight be Player 2 instead, and explore their teamwork dynamics and problem-solving methods together!

So I explored an alternative- Combo Mode! And developing and researching ideas for that lit a spark within me! I had to keep going after that!

Now I had to consider, if I'm already swapping around all the main characters, I'm starting to have an entirely new universe here! What's next to change up? For the heroes' companion, I felt like Elfilin wouldn't behave very differently in this AU than in canon, he would probably continue to be friendly and helpful and sweet. Which would be okay- but to make things more interesting for myself, what if I played around with the origin story of the missing pieces of Fecto Forgo and switched "Elfilis" and "Elfilin" around? That way there's new obstacles and possibilities there and maybe I can even surprise some people with the lore down the line!

Now I'd had my Dream Team shuffled around, a very different mysterious companion for them... And why stop there? Why not play with the Beast Council's roles too while I'm at it to make things even more interesting for myself to write?!

From the early days of this AU Project...

To my more recent work...

...Now here we are.

It'd been a long, long time since I enjoyed the creation process of anything for myself like this! I was coming out of some pretty hard times in the early 2020s, and in a lot of ways, this AU has been there alongside me during a years-long journey to get help for my mental health, to become more confident in who I am and what I can bring to the world around me, and to love myself. Now I'm the best version of myself I've ever been, and I can pour so much more into my art and writing, especially with this AU!! <3

AND MAN, does it feel good to see physical evidence of my art style's evolution side-by-side! Like comparing my first Light Novel cover redraw from 2022 with my current WIP!

Creating this AU has taught me so much about storytelling, the medium of comics, organization, and most of all, to enjoy the process and really push my personal limits in a positive way. I've met so many amazing people since starting this story, some of whom have inspired me in ways I never could've imagined. Some very key people have even helped me ponder different mediums to tell this story.... Some animatics... or maybe even more interactive storytelling...? I am slow cooking some fun ideas, dear reader....

This AU gave me the confidence to become more involved in the fandom space and find community among people who have taught me so much. I am so, so grateful for this project.

I know it's taken some time to get here. I still work full-time and now I'm pursuing a second bachelor's in hopes of a career change that will allow me more time to focus on creating someday. But for now, free time can be frustratingly limited for me. It's also taken this long because I've put a lot of thought into how to set up the metaphorical "dominos" in the forms of foreshadowing and world-building I want, to do my best to make the wait worth it for the future plot pay-offs and reveals I have planned!! I'm hoping to continue to pick up speed with updates as I increase my skill and solidify my master plan for this story... MUAHAHA....

I plan on seeing this project to the very very end, and I can't wait to continue this journey with you all. Especially with the announcement of Star-Crossed Worlds!!! I'm not too worried about it turning my AU lore upside-down quite yet since it's post-game content and my bigger lore drops are still a little bit away, so I have time to navigate that when it does drop :3

Thank you to everyone who has read, enjoyed, and supported this project in any way, whether it's a like, comment, reblog tag, dm, carrier pigeon, paper airplane- whatever!! <3 I love, appreciate, and am beyond grateful for every reader, supporter, and friend I've gained in the past three years!!

Cheers to a successful three years under my belt, and I look forward to the future!! By the end of this journey, I hope you will enjoy reading this story as much as I've enjoyed writing it.

🫧 Love, Jojo T. Schmo 🫧

I've wanted to revisit this idea for a while now, this time I even included some new faces.

I was also going to give them personalities this time, but I figured it'd still be more fun to leave that up to you.

[asterjeje]

100 Men Vs. A Gorilla?

Nah.

Meta Knight Vs. Gorimondo

Spoiler alert... Meta Knight wins

[owl-screech]

Snippets from a Forgotten Lands animation I’ve been working on!

Spoilers ahead!

I love that the earth villains look so weird. I didn’t like it at first because Clawlorine seemed. Um. Well you know. But then I saw that they equally objectified Leongar so I guess it’s okay?? Now I love how out of place the villains look because it really solidifies that Kirby’s in a new world!

But Fecto Forgo and Sillydillo remain some of my favorite designs ever, will never get over how silly these guys look!

[icedragonlizard]

I can't believe that Kirby and the Forgotten Land is 2 years old now.

That's insane.

I feel old now...

Happy birthday to the Forgotten Land.

And happy birthday to Elfilin, Fecto Forgo, Fecto Elfilis (combining the first two lololol), Clawroline, Leongar, Gorimondo, Sillydillo, awoofies, other creatures in the Beast Pack, and Waddle Dee Town.

Allow me to post a screenshot of Invasion at the House of Horrors because it's one of my favorite areas of the game from a visual standpoint. I always adored this section.

It's got the alienish childish vibes that are perfect for the Kirby series.

BANDEE AND THE FORGOTTEN LAND - CHAPTER TWO (118)

| START | PREVIOUS | NEXT | MASTERPOST |

[stellarartworks]

art assignment: do a crossover between two stories and show how the characters would interact.

me: WWHAT IF THE BLORBOS GO TO WADDLE DEE TOWN AND HAVE FUN??? MAKE FRIENDNS???? 🥺 🥺🥺

… maybe not pg and gorimondo though, they might try to kill each other

[jojo-schmo]

The Forgotten Land’s Beast Pack…. But they’re Roleswapped!!

[cwgames]

The Deadly Dees: It's the local four-Dee band, the Deadly Dee! They love to jam in front of a crowd and start each request off with a "Wa-WA!" (Let's Go!) Band meetings at the café can get heated due to their different musical tastes, but when the tunes kick in, they fall perfectly in sync.

His Primal Nemesis Forgo Dedede: the foul fiend standing guard at the bottom of the Redgar Volcano was... King Dedede again?! He calmed back down after you remove his menacing mask. So why did he kidnap Elfilin? He said he was being controlled, even before some strange beast put that mask on him!

King of the Beast Leongar: Here sits the powerful commander of the ferocious Beast Pack. He's become a pawn for an invading specimen from beyond the stars, tasked with gathering food, capturing the Waddle Dees to use as a power source, and—most importantly—retrieving the lost subspecimen tagged as ID-F87...

Invasive Species Fecto Forgo (Larva): When ID-F86 arrived, it began attacking all of the native wildlife. The creature was captured soon after and turned into a test subject. The native inhabitants used it to create tech beyond their wildest dreams. They eventually used that to leave the planet altogether, but ID-F86 remained forgotten and fractured.

Invasive Species Fecto Forgo: The invading species, alone and incomplete without Elfilin, was trapped in the Eternal Capsule. Their only refuge was the realm of their dreams. Those dreams spread powerful waves of psychic energy all over the world, slowly taking control of the animals they reached. Escape would require more energy...

Ultimate Life-Form Fecto Elfilis: The Elfilin we first met was born from a small, compassionate soul that hid behind greater, invasive ambitions. Without a soul to temper it's power, the creature's spatial-teleportation ability ran amok, opening mysterious vortices left and right. Now that they're whole again, they're already planning their next invasion...

Strong-Armed Illusion Phantom Gorimondo: This illusory beast was created with powerful psychic energy in a realm of dreams. It's not the real Gorimodo—just a phantom made of negative thoughts—but it's still incredibly strong! Since it's based on memories of the real Gorimondo, it can't resist a fruity snack.

Illusory Fronds Phantom Tropic Woods: This phantom in the form of Tropic Woods has grown mysteriously strong under the illsory sunlight of Forgo Dreams. Do you thinks its coconuts are illusions too? Wonder what they taste like...

Illusory Leopard Phantom Clawroline: The real Clawoline asked Kirby to help her save Leopard. This phantom feline is a fake! Formed from negative thoughts and powerful psychic energy, this wild beast doesn't seem to care about Leongar at all. She may be an illusion, but her claws will cause real damage!

His Illusory Nemesis Phantom King Dedede: This Dedede double is made of powerful psychic energy. It's an illusion of the King based on memories of his embarrassing turn under ID-F86's control, forced to work for Leongar and capture Elfilin. It has no memory of Kirby or the adventures they've shared... It's little more than a haughty, hollow husk.
