The Forgotten Land story we know begins with Kirby, the mighty pink defender of Dream Land, navigating a New World! Along the way, he encounters new and familiar friends and foes to save the Waddle Dees from a Beast Pack with mysterious intentions!
But what if some of the characters' roles were swapped?
The heroes of this story are the Sworn Partners of Popstar: King Dedede of Dream Land and Meta Knight The Lone Swordsman, along with the enigmatic lost seedling, Elfilis.
Even the smallest of changes can lead to universe-altering and unpredictable consequences... What other surprises will await our heroes in their quest to save their family, find themselves, and discover the secrets hidden in this Forgotten Land?

Saw that other folks here were making fanart for @jojo-schmo's second Star-crossed World stream (specifically "the figure" reaction) and I had to add on because I WAS one of the people foaming at the mouth telling her I needed her to get that figure in chat.

Wow. Itās been almost a whole year. And what a year itās been-!!
Finding out I had breast cancer last May and going through chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, and severe liver damage from the immunotherapy that helped cure me-
After all of this, Iāve made it.
My surgeries are done. I still tested negative for cancer. I just have to get checked by my doctor twice a year for a few more years. I lost my long hair, but my chemo curls are coming in super strong and super curly!!! The second drawing on this post shows my actual current hair length and texture, heehee. My path of recovery from these procedures is long, but going very well so far.
Right now, life is peaceful. Life is good.
Thank you to every single person who reached out to me along the way. Even if I wasnāt able to directly respond, please know that the love and support I received always arrived right when I needed it most. I am beyond grateful for everything. If you are reading this, you have my warmest thanks.
About my artā¦..
To be honest I havenāt drawn or written almost anything since my treatment began last July. I had to focus 100% of my energy towards getting better and staying afloat during my extremely rough treatments. Whenever I tried to make something my mind was as blank as the canvas. What also hasnāt helped, I am only just now tapering off of some strong medication Iāve had since January that gave me severe hand tremors. I couldnāt even write my name until last month. It sucked.
Iām shaking off the cobwebs though! I can feel that creative spark returning. Iām rusty right now but Iām building up my skills and abilities again. I canāt wait to get back to it.
-Marvel Movie credits font- The Forgotten Land Roleswap WILL return!!!
ā¦I donāt have a solid timeframe for that return yet. But itāll be as soon as I can! Iāve already said I fully intend on seeing the story of the Sworn Partners and the lost little Elfilis to its end!!
On my end, Iāll keep practicing and getting back into the joyful process of creating again! I need to regain the line confidence and technical skills I had before all of this started. But I know I can get it back. After all, Iāve made it this far!!!
Happy December and a Merry Holiday season to everyone!
Iāve been away and silent for a bit, but Iām doing the best I can. I wanted to offer a quick update from my neck of the woods.
TW- medical discussion under the cut.
Iāll start with the good news-
My treatment has been successful so far and my breast cancer is in remission!!!!!
I had a lumpectomy in November and they found no traces of cancer in my tissue and lymph nodes! Now I can prepare for my double mastectomy next month with a huge relief off my shoulders knowing my treatment worked beautifully so far. š
ā¦.Unfortunately the bad news is I am also dealing with some rare-ish complications from the immunotherapy drug I was given during chemo. I just finished being hospitalized for the second time in two months because it turns out my immune system did such a good job of kicking the cancerās ass, they decided to try kicking my own liverās ass afterward as a treat. That derailed my entire treatment plan and I only got halfway through my 24 weeks of chemo. So pending my docās final decision, I probably have to finish the last 12 weeks in February. That part really sucks because my chemo was put on hold in September to deal with this other thing. Iāll have to start from square one with those side effects. x(
This medical complication happens to a very small percentage of people, so I guess Iām just lucky like that. Thankfully the liver is tenacious and can eventually repair itself from this. But I am on a slow and steady healing process on a lot of medications right now.
One of my new medās side effects are decently severe hand tremors. I can barely even write my name, let alone draw. I wonāt be able to participate in any Christmas art events which is an enormous bummer. I love doing Secret Santa and making gifts for my loved ones and being all festive and stuff, but I just canāt work with my hands at all right now. Itās temporary and will go away when I eventually stop taking these, but thatās going to be at least another month or so. :/
I havenāt drawn much since the summer to be honest. This treatment incapacitated me a lot more than I expected. Feels like a part of me has been missing. I miss writing the Roleswap and making comics and working to improve my technical art skills. But when I stare at that blank art canvas, my mind is blank. Between the treatments and hospitalizations and physical and mental stress, itās sucked out a lot of my drive to create right now and I hate it.
BUT.
The Forgotten Land Roleswap is NOT cancelled! I still have every intention of finishing it. My current situation has just forced me to take an involuntary hiatus.
Iām alive. And still fighting. And optimistic about the future. But right now Iām also justā¦. Fricking tired.
Iām not trying to turn this blog into āJojoās Cancer Adventureā either. But this is my life right now. I talk about it because I like being open and sharing my experiences and thoughts on here. But this situation also wonāt define me. It has a beginning and successful conclusion to come. And when this is all over, I shall emerge as a more powerful version of myself!!!!!!!
When Iām feeling a little better at least Iāll get to play some Kirby Air Riders-!!! Thatās gonna be amazing.
Thanks for reading this and for being here and for caring. I know thereās a lot of people that enjoy the things I make and Iām sorry to keep everyone waiting for so long. I know I shouldnāt be sorry, but I am. lol I canāt help it!! I probably still wonāt be posting much because I donāt have the energy or ability to do it right now, but I am still here. And Iām gonna keep going. :)
TL;DR:
Currently still in the process of kicking cancerās ass
My liver got its ass kicked in return and the medication for it has awarded me with hand tremors that prevent me from drawing for a while
The Forgotten Land Roleswap is not cancelled, just on a break while the author/artist is in the process of regenerating
I miss and love you guys. Iām grateful for this platform.
New Forgotten Land Roleswap comic dub by Coco Thunder!!!
This was a complete surprise for me to find. :D Coco Thunder has made other voice fan dubs of the comic so far, theyāre super cool! Check it out!! As of writing this, this video premieres in about an hour!
Itās seriously a huge honor to have people dedicate their time and craft inspired by something Iāve made. Hopefully this will help a tiny bit with the wait for the end of Chapter 2 Iām currently working on <3
Thank you all again for your support and for enjoying the comic!!

Wait wait I'm out of the loop when did CANCER become a thing-!?
Oh gosh sorry if that was alarming to learn!! Itās hard to keep all my updates in one place and it all happened really really quickly. I found out late May 2025 that I had Stage I triple negative breast cancer and everythingās been going super fast ever since! But mine is eventually curable and Iām very grateful for it!
The chemo side effects also knocked me out pretty much all summer (I owe every Artfight 2025 attack a revenge drawing next year! š), which is why updates and art have been slow for the past few months. (I know itās an understandable reason lol, I just miss drawing)
I donāt need anything in particular from anyone! I wanted to keep people informed since I trust and appreciate everyone thatās been here since I returned to Tumblr in 2022. And also because I think itās something important to talk about and be aware of. Plus Iām comfortable sharing it. No worries about touching the topic with me! Itās my new current ānormalā so itās no big deal lol.
Iām gonna be okay!! Cancer is not a pleasant or easy journey. But after some more tough treatments and surgeries through next year, this journey will end and Iāll get to start more new ones! Plus Iāll be the best, strongest version of myself to date! <3 (ąøāĢ-āĢ)ąø
Hey, Jojo...I've been worried about you....have you been doing alright, health wise...? I remember you said you were doing pretty bad before...I hope everything turns out okay for you...
Thank you so much for reaching out, kind anon! š«
Iām doing the best I can! The chemo side effects are definitely kicking my ass, no sugarcoating that. This is the hardest thing Iāve ever done. I was actually supposed to start the 12-week long second half of my treatment last month (they call itā¦ The Red Devil š¹), but itās been delayed to next week since my body was taking it particularly hard and needed extra time to regenerate and recover. So Iām just doing what I can and resting plenty! And when my energy levels are up, I keep my morale high by writing and drawing!
The most important part of all this is that my cancer is reacting extremely well to chemo. And the goal of the treatment is after my surgery early next year, it should all be CURED and gone from my body! Which is enormously good news!
Honestly, getting diagnosed with cancer at 27 was a really bad hand to be dealt. But after that, I have a lot of the best cards to work with for a favorable outcome. This time next year, Iāll be recovered from all these side effects, my hair will have grown back, and Iāll be enjoying the peace and normalcy of my 9-5 desk job with a big smile on my face!
I donāt often outwardly talk about the hard stuff, sorry if I worried anyone by being kinda vague about it- I get nervous about spreading too much negativity sometimes. But I also want to be real whenever I can. This isnāt a secret, but itās also not the only thing that defines me! Ya feel? ;D
So please take care of yourselves, friends. If you have the resources, please utilize them. Itās not an overreaction to get any suspicious lump or new skin marking checked out. I know itās a hard world right now and not everyone has easy access to medical care. I just want to say that in my personal situation, getting everything examined the same day I noticed a lump and not waiting months or years to do it saved my life in the long run.
TLDR- yes things are tough. Fuck cancer. But I will be okay in the end and Iām lucky there is an end to my treatment someday! Thank you for your kindness and concern! Iāll make it out of this and I love you all!! <3
Look at these Forgotten Land AUs-!!! Omg I had no idea there were so many of them!! Thank you for this beautiful tribute to everyoneās stories!!
I donāt know for sure if my Forgotten Land Roleswap is the first āswitch around a bunch of characters and see how it can change the canonās storyā AU for this particular game. (I started mine about a month after the gameās release and didnāt see any before that).
Regardless, it has been a wonderful pleasure to see the roleswap idea bloom afterwards into a whole universe of different Forgotten Land AUs. My project has been a labor of love and creativity Iāve never had before. It makes me beyond happy to see others can find that in their projects too.
What can I say? I had the idea of making a drawing of the 4 of them for a while. At first, I thought of something simple, but then it became more of a fight
Anyway, I hope you like it and sorry for mentioning them.

Nobodyās ever drawn my Leongar gijinka- or any of them yet!! This is freaking AWESOME!! Iāve been a big fan of your gijinka designs for a while now (Daroach my belovedā¦.) and this attack means a lot!!
Iām very happy that I got to draw your characters (or pet for Holly), I wish that I couldāve made them more detailed but I hope you all still liked them!
