Description Behold what happens when two people discuss Ninjago and the Nutcracker over the Internet. Pretty self explanatory, actually!

This little AU/ fanfic thingy was put together by TheKittenKat and myself. Basically, the Land of Sweets is another world/realm place where people in Nelson and Cole’s world can visit through their dreams, although it only seems to accept those who are in a particularly bad emotional state. There they can relax and find relief in the sweet and gentle... but they must take care to not spend too much time there, lest their true bodies perish in the real world. Here’s a brief summery of the plot and characters (that may change as we develop the idea?)

Once upon a time, there was...

- A fairly odd godmother, who seems to know a lot but doesn’t talk about it much until the time is right.

- A father Ginger named Dareth, his beautiful disciple Bon-Bon children, and kindly Rockcandy Warriors, who were once bested by Dareth in honorable combat and now protect his family more efficiently while following his teachings.

- A Licorice named Scales Junior who’s set on saving the Land of Sweets along with the strange travelers who entered his home swamp territory. Hopefully he can save it before his parents find out where he’s gone off to!

- A dried prune named Clouse and a Peachbun named Chen, who, after getting kicked out of the Hot-drink lava planes, sided with the insidious Toymaker and now are governing the Peppermint/Snow mountains with a cruel, sticky grip! The only Sweets opposing them is a small resistance headed by (peach flavored) Marzipan Skylor, Jawbreaker Karloff, and the Cheesecake Postman.

- An army of toy/mouse soldiers headed by the duo generals, second only to the Toymaker herself, King Morro and Queen Harumi. Not all that long ago,  Harumi and Morro were simple kids with messy living situations. They both found solace in this land made of sweets and both wished they could stay there with their new teachers and friends forever. When their masters told them gently that it could not be, Morro when in search while Harumi rejected their advise in her own quiet way. Then Garmadon disappeared, which was her final straw. She soon found Morro had made a deal with the Toymaker to gain a toy/mouse body to hold his soul, allowing him 24 hour access to the Land of Sweets. Harumi followed suit and now they carry out their mistress’s will and ravageing the Land of Sweets. However one good heart can spur another to kindness, and the efforts of a new Visitor, an old foe, and all of their friends, begin to weigh on the royal rodents’ minds...

- The Toymaker: no one knows where she first came from, and when, who’s to know? All anyone knows is that she is single mindedly focused on bringing the Land of Sweets under her cold, unfeeling rule. She can trap the spirits of Visitors in her toys and, to a certain extent, puppet them around like dolls. With every soul, she grows in power, and she is now so strong that she can block powerful Visitors, like Mystaké, from entering. However, she didn’t bet on the ol’ bird having a godson with a heart of gold.

I kept forgetting to comment on thsi, but now I will redeem myself!

Mistaké looks cool.

I wasn't expecting Darth to be in a dress. I was honestly imagining him in a some sort of peasant clothing with a long cape to hide his kiddos in. (Itsn't super affective, but we don't tell him that.

The Bon Bon recipes are ability adorable.

The rock candy soldiers. 10/10.

Licorice Skales Junior is adorable. 

Dried Prune Clouse (still a top tier name) is just awesome and his tutu have me good laugh.

Peach Bun Chen (again a top tier name) is just perfect. *chef kiss*

For both Morro and Harumi, I was expecting Morro mouse in them like ears and a tail. If they than that, I still love the outfits!

The Preeminent.....yeah she is terrifying. Fitting she ain't the traditional lego. 0_0

Over all, I still appreciate that you did this and I want to thank you again.

Naw, don’t worry about it. I’m glad you were able to speak the words that you wanted to speak

The eyepatch is unnecessary, but nobody else needs to know that but her. *you can’t tell if she’s winking or blinking at you.*

Fair point. My reasoning was Mother Ginger is always introduced with her BonBons running in and out of her dress like a circus tent. That specific image seems to be a staple, so I tried to combine Dareth’s traditional robe with a more fancy dress, and I think he’s rocking it. I didn’t even consider a cape or cloak, good idea though! Why not both? Nothing is too extra for the Master of Brown!

Thank you! They know.

You receive a rock candy lollipop and a pat on the head. You think they’re smiling at you. “you...ten outa ten...”

Ya! Rocking the vest.

Don’t they look fabulous? Chen is incharge of their costumes, naturally.

Ah! That might be the resolution of the picture. If you look closely, you’ll see that they have the same ethereal sparkly cloth on the sides of their crowns and by their waists, in the shape of the mouse ears and tails. This is meant to symbolize their willingness to become permanent residents of the Land of Sweets (if you look closely, the only characters without at least some Sparkle Cloth on their costume is Mystaké, Cole and Nelson), and willing participants in the spell that the Toymaker is using to keep their souls in bodies she created.

Lego Friends (the toyline) has always felt like an uncanny valley to me, so I’m glad I was able to use their builds here.

Thank you very much and right back at you!

Alright sounds good! :3

HAha! XD

Oh they are supposed to be robes? Oops. XD well more tradition robes and capes for Dareth. (I am remembering the scene with Edna Mode in The Incredibles movie with no capes. XD)

LOL.

Aw thank you. ^^

I know right!

Chen has great taste. XD

Oh I didn't notice!

Mhm.

You are welcome!

They can definitely exist in the Land of Sweets! Like Skylor or Karloff, I’m sure they’re kicking around somewhere. Maybe even a part of Skylor’s resistance!
