So I am gonna write the thoughts I have about Cheeseshop AU bc writing things down helps me, and you guys are welcome to chip in your opinions/ask questions on it too!

Okay enjoy my ramblings bc this is going to be barely organised

So idk what the 'story' is of this AU, or even if there needs to be one, all I have so far is that Brick is a human who owns a cheese shop, and Gus, Peppino and Pep are her larger-that-average rat friends, whom she found outside (regardless if there is a tower or not, she'd meet them beforehand, (except for Pep in some cases, but we'll get to him))

So idea one, no tower at all! Brick just happily runs her little shop and everything is hunky-dory

Pros:

Do love a good 'slice of life' with some wacky antics thrown in

Opportunity for a different conflict or antagonist? I suppose this can be said for any of the ideas, but I am putting it here bc the other ideas have a Pizzaface/Pizzahead and they'd still be hanging around

Cons:

Maybe a little boring, and removes perhaps the main part of Pizza Tower - the Tower!!! And without her, probably wouldn't have a reason most of the other characters

Idea two; there is a tower, but it is all cheese - maybe even dairy themed? - and Brick must climb it to save her shop from an alternative Pizzaface (Cheeseface???)

Pro:

Easy to understand, since it would be mostly beat-for-beat as the OG

We'd get all the characters, albeit alternate versions of them

Cons:

Perhaps redundant (for lack of a better term)? Considering PT is mostly cheese, some things would be exactly the same, like Vigi and all the cheeseslimes

I think there is only so much one can do with cheese... Well, I'm sure you can do a lot with cheese, but I, personally, am perhaps limited on my cheese knowledge

Idea three!: Now this one's a little geared towards my own version of the game, but Cat Tower

I headcanon that Brick hates, and I mean hates, cats, so Pizzaface/Pizzahead would be a giant cat of sorts, and the tower would be cat themed. Story kinda the same with the shop being threatened with destruction, some of the reasons are changed (I cannot tell you original reasons bc spoilers for Pep's blog kdfkj)

Pros:

Who doesn't love cats!!! Well, besides Brick jfdlsdk

Get to draw furry things yippee!!

Cons:

Mostly stems from a single headcanon? Idk if that's a con, but it feels like it lgjdg

Idea four is kind of an 'add-on' to one of the other ideas, so there is a tower, but instead of the shop being threatened, Pizzaface (or whatever his alternative name would be) kidnaps Gustavo and Peppino, and Brick has to scale the tower to get them back

Brick would not have Pep in this version, as Pizzahead would still have a personal vendetta against Peppino (for some reason), and did the cloning thing with him anyway, so Pep would still be a boss

This is probably more game idea, than story, but basically Brick would go through each level of the tower with a different companion - so on her own for the first level, but as she rescues Gus and Peppino, and befriends Pep (and maybe some of the other bosses), they can help her progress!

Pros:

Interesting spin on the game

Cute reuniting moments

Extremely funny for this twink to have a vendetta against a single rat

Cons:

Again, probably more suited as game mechanics rather than a story?

Would still have to choose a theme for the tower and other characters

This is all I have for now, and it is probably even less coherent that I expected, but it is okay, I am just putting thoughts down

But now I am going to bed, so goodnight!!!!

#Bean talks for a very long time #cheeseshop au #so I can find it later #okay goodnight!!!
