Cleo X Abe - Tumblr Posts

Swap AU where almost nothing changes, but Joan and Topher have switched roles.

How convenient that both have nicknames, you don't have to worry about their new names

In this AU, there may be other characters who will change roles, but I'm still not sure who will change with whom, but I say right away – Cleo and Abe will be in their roles, as in the canon.

+bonus

If you like the idea – write who will switch roles with whom, and who will remain with their role.

So basically I had this idea to switch the tropes of the characters.they're still the same people at heart tho. Like Abe was an awkward uncool guy he'd be popular and stuff but still very dumb and silly. Cleo would be in popular but she'd still think she was better than everyone by smarts. Think of what the world needs is,people like me song. Joan would be a popular girl she hated before but still cares about morals at heart and stuff. JFK doesn't get girls he can't but he tries really hard to. He's still dumb though think of an incel kind of.

This was fun to make its just a dumb au basically Abe would go for Cleo(after she started stuffing her bra cause she canonly does that) and she'd be all like nooo I can't date you I have to study I'm above everyone else like my clone mother and after a while she realizes guys will do what she wants because she's pretty and stuff. So she starts to use Abe.

Cleo and JFK would be best friends because they're uncool. JFK would probably try to flirt with her and date her and she just stares at him and then pretends he didn't say that. They're friends but Cleo thinks he's a drag even if she'd stop to help him still. Joan and Abe and Gandhi(haven't gotten an idea for him yet maybe just a gloomy guy?idk) are best friends still and Joan still has a crush on Abe technically Abe likes her back but he like Cleo because she's kind of unattainable and he thought Cleo had real potential to be something ''''great''''

I think it'd be a parody if Grease or something.

Want to use this mainly for historical jokes like JFK trying hard to get a woman, Cleopatra slowly becoming manipulative and stuff, Abe has broad shoulders like Abraham Lincoln btw because I hc he's slouching is so bad in the og that it lowers his shoulders.

I got this idea from looking at this one picture of Abraham Lincoln and thinking 'woah he looks like a stereotypical try hard cool guy' so

Bonus Topher. I am not sure how the s2 characters would go in this because like Fridas trope is that she's the chill one. I could easily switch that but itd be impossible for some of her character to still be there cause idk its kinda the only thing to her sometimes? Not frida slander love frida I just don't know how itd work in the au.

Tophers trope I think is the weird kid so that means he'd be popular kid but also like overly normal. Or trying to be. Like maybe in a creepish way. I think he'd still be an asshole but very fake with it. Considering his trope is the unpleasant weird kid. I think he'd go by Christopher except noone pays attention to his last name if he just goes shhhhh don't mention it. His sanity is holding by a thread and he prob looks like he's one moment away from screaming angrily all the time. He'd manipulate to get what he wants and I feel like he and Abe would try to get along at first but he probably grows some weird hate crush on him along the way. Maybe his family is more rich in this I want to make historical references but I think him acting overly 'nice' in a weird way is already irony.

He probably wears rings.

Its either that or a religious fanatic that smiles too much in a creepy way.

holy shit this is just under swap at this point (explodes)

I don't care if Topher likes Joan next season, as long as they keep the character funny idc. Tophers always gonna be some form of achillean to me because it's a fun hc that he's reppressed. In an guy who'd post on reddit 'is it gay to have a crush on your guy friend? (Asking for a friend)'

Besides then If he does like Joan that means I can make the joke 'bros fighting demons and the 'demons' are just bisexuality'

But for now I think he's just gay

ALSO WATCHING SCOTT PILGRIM OMG ABE LINCOLN????HES EVERYWHERE I CANT ESCAPE HIM

I think Cleo and topher have a math class together. Worsties.

Scott pilgrim moment

i can't unhear Abe I can't unhear Abe

Cleo as envy of course. Joan as Ramona because of the hair.

Jfk is a bisexual vegan

Unsure if he'd be Mathew Patel personality wise or knives(in the comics not in the anime) cause knives has more of an obsession arc in the comics even tho I hate to make Topher knives cause knives is my favorite in every adaptation. I do think it'd make sense because yk his role is to get in the way of Abe and Joan more and he probably would learn to grow out of the crush in senior year(all of them being teenagers in it of course) but knives has more of an obsession thing however he'd work as Mathew Patel cause personality and liking theater and I'd like him to fight Abe instead of Joan.but its more fun that way.
