#sweetopia

Hey ya'll! Sorry if things have been quiet for me on the Callyieverse/Tale of Mewni side of things. I've mainly just haven't been feeling all that inspired to finish anything for it lately. But I'm slowly getting back to it.

So......yeah. I decided to try my hand at making full comic pages. Mainly because I just..........honestly like working on them more than writing full blown fics tbh. Especially since I feel like I can try and convey the intentions I make with my stories better this way.

Kalissa- Kalissa is a young lady from the Frostling Tribe in Northern Sweetopia. A curious and adventurous young lady, she has always wanted to explore the world outside of her small little tribe from the far north and to meet new people. Lucky for her, a chance encounter with a jotnar might give her the chance she's been waiting for.

Most likely. But that I'll have to save for a potential one shot I have in the works.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays ya'll! Just thought I'd give you all some Candyfolk/Sweetopia lore as a special Christmas gift to ya'll

And to fit with the theme, I decided this would be the perfect time to talk about Sweetopia's signature winter holiday: Winter Frost

Basic Info

Winter Frost Eve is a winter holiday celebrated by the Candyfolk. It is Sweetopia's equivalent of Christmas as it has similar traditions and themes. But the main difference is that Winter Frost is meant to celebrate the anniversary of Sweetopia's first winter as a continent and to honor the royal family of Northern Sweetopia.

Origins

Long ago back during the early years, Sweetopia was going through it's very first winter, it was still going through it's growing pains as a continent at the time, and many of the first generation of candyfolk were still adjusting to their new independent lives since Queen Comet liberated them. For the most part, Sweetopia was rather peaceful during it's early years. But once in a blue moon, there was at least one potential threat that would disrupt the peace. One of such was the ongoing feud between the two clans that would later form the royal family of Northern Sweetopia: The Mintas and The Redfrosts. All year the two clans have been at a long standing feud with each other since Sweetopia's inception. And many believed that it would always be that way. That was until a love started to bloom: The love between Araminta Redfrost and Jackson Minta, the heirs of their respective clans.

The two have been secretly dating for a while and have managed to keep their relationship a secret for as long as they could. Even managed to be secretly married and had a daughter named Jacqueline. Things seem to be going well for the couple. But then one day, word of their relationship quickly reached their clans. And both clans started to discuss plans for a coming war. Fearing for their lives, Jackson and Araminta decide to pack their bags and leave their home with no hope of returning.

One night, when the young family was staying in the then young Candyfolk Queendom, they noticed a mysterious blizzard has taken over the rest of Sweetopia, with many of the farmlands being unable to tend to their lands, leaving several residents left with know food, water, warmth, or light. Even the royal family was not immune with Queen Dolce focus on tending to the needs of her family and servants that she almost never had time to tend to the rest of her Queendom.

Nobody knew what was causing the blizzard. Nobody except Jackson and Araminta, who quickly realized the cause of Sweetopia's troubles: The feud between their clans. Worried for both their people and the rest of Sweetopia, the couple decided to finally end the feud once and for all. With the help of the queen, and with some terrifying display of their ice and candy magic, Jackson and Araminta were eventually able to call off the war and worked to bring peace by uniting the two clans who under the family name Mintfrost. And as an apology to the rest of Sweetopia, Araminta and Jackson also decided to bring gifts to the rest of Sweetopia. From toys for the children and young at heart, to food, clothes, and to help fix homes and tend to the lands. Thus both the Mintfrost Family and Northern Sweetopia was born.

The day would eventually evolve into the Winter Frost, with many of the traditions being inspired by the holiday's history.

Traditions

Much like how we celebrate Christmas, the candyfolk celebrate Winter Frost by decorating a tree, exchanging gifts, singing songs, etc. But they use Peppermint trees instead of Pine trees.

Similar to Santa Claus, It has become a tradition for members of the Mintfrost Family to deliver gifts to all of Sweetopia. But while Santa is more known for delivering toys and games, the Mintfrost Family also bring food, clothes, and other necessities as well as toys.

The history behind the holiday has inspired many songs, plays, folktales, and legends throughout Sweetopia. And it has become an honored tradition to reenact the Holiday's inception.

By the time of the Future AU, Winter Frost is also celebrated in Mewni due to both the efforts of the representatives and the influx of candyfolk immigrating to the continent.

So that's it for now. I'm sorry if it's a bit rushed. I'm just nda typing this at the top of my head, as I've had this idea brewing in my head all year. But never got around to typing it out until now.

Sure! Basically, this is pretty much it.

The Candyfolk Queendom (Sweetopia's Main Capital. Just thinking about any candy themed village/kingdom you find in media (ex: The Candy Kingdom from Adventure Time. Or Hasbro's Candyland board game.) and that's pretty much what it looks like.)

Northern Sweetopia (Cold af, Gingerbread houses abound. Basically looks like something out of a Christmas special. Mostly populated by mint & peppermint candyfolk. And where the Frostling & Angel Cake tribes are located.)

Southern Sweetopia (Hotter/Warmer areas, mainly where the spicy/hot candyfolk live. And also believed to be connected to the Underworld.)

They are two of the several monster races Comet created for Sweetopia using the DNA of extinct monster races that were wiped out during the war between Mewmans & Monsters. (Ex: The cookieflies were created using the DNA of a subgroup of Insectoids.)

They were made in a similar way to the Candyfolk. But instead of candy, they were made with different types of cookies and bread (Or at least dough/bread-adjacent) respectively.

Cookiefly Example: Sugar Sweetcookie- Drummer for the Neon Crew

Breadlander Example: Gino Churro (Yes. I know churros aren't a type of bread. But I did say dough/bread-adjacent! XD)- One of the 12 Ambassadors selected to join the Queensguard. He's a part of the Sixth Division.

As a bonus, here's what a cookiefly/candyfolk hybrid would look like. His name is Crumbs Cocochips. He's also one of the 12 ambassadors and is Tootsie's squire.
