Drivin' way too fast, I got water in my glass

20s 🇧🇷🇺🇲 You can still call me Merchant but I'd prefer Mouse to be completely honest 👆 I'm an adult. I can, will and often do talk about adult things. Minors keep your distance please. (Will tag everything appropriately ofc) Mostly a Cookie Run blog Main AUs: the one with the BurningCheese kids + Retrograde AU + Virtue Swap AU (I have a lot of AUs tbh. Brain worm affliction) Good vibes only 😎 (that means don't talk to me about fandom drama lol. I'm tired. I don't care) Makes shitty memes and shitty drawings I don't think anyone bothers to look at my About Me so... my AO3 is sleeping_mouse_1011 lol 🚨 Fun Fact: I don't exist outside of Tumblr! If you see me or my art anywhere besides here, THAT'S NOT ME! IF YOU'RE GOING TO REPOST MY ART ANYWHERE, THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS CREDIT ME!!! 🚨

Behold, my magnum opus... My BurningCheese fam as humans :P

Individual shots of them under cut

Also included their Soul Jams/virtues 😇

(edit to add that Cheese has little bead bracelets around her biceps just like Spice does. You just can't see them because of the dupatta haha)

[purristt]

impatient and clingy

This was funnier in my head tbh

One of the youngest of the burningcheese siblings, Puya is the softest of her siblings but still has a bit of her both her parents' tempers if provoked, she's also one of Burning Spice and Golden Cheese's who doesn't inherit any powers from the Soul Jams.

Her mini antennae are usually hidden under her bangs due to Puya's insecurities with her appearance, as a result she gets easily flustered when people bring attention to her or any of what she deems are "abnormal" features (her teeth and antennae specifically).

another burningcheese kid after so long 🥹🥹

The beloved treasures of the Golden Queen and the Leader of the Spice Lands. Let's welcome them!

My beloved children are here and I couldn't be happier! I love them very very much already. So, let's say hi, yes?

First their sprites!

And now tiny facts about them:

Pukhraj Cookie is the type of girl that lives with the "Eye for an eye" mindset, thing that put her in many troubles. Her hair shines when light hits it in the right angle; that being the reason of her name. Unlike her brother, who is more of a mediator, she's a warrior. Her Talwar (a curved sword) was made by her father, Burning Spice cookie. She has eyebags. Although she has wings, she doesn't fly as she used to.

Spice Laddu is the firstborn. He loves culture and everything that shapes it. He’s good at crafts, which came in really handy when his sisters’ stuffed animals and dolls got damaged and they were too attached to them to want new ones. He can play the semsemiah. He owns a greenhouse, and his favorite hobbie is gardening. He works a lot with Smoked Cheese Cookie as an advisor. He's decent with weapons, but doesn't enjoy fighting. If he ever had to fight, he would use his bare fists. There’s a big age gap between him and his sisters.

As twins: The older twin is Halloumi Cheese. They are their parents and older siblings' joy. They have an aversion to weapons and they refuse to elaborate why. They have a lot of energy and don't like to stay still for long periods of time, let them run! let them fly!. They love to sing, they sing wherever and whenever they can. They tend to end up in weird places (the temple's roof, inside a weel, in the mines), and their parents really don't know or understand HOW they end up there.

Even though I love them like twins, like an unbreakable pair, they each have their own personality:

Although Halloumi Cheese is the older, she is not the bravest; but that doesn't mean she is shy. She's kind of blunt with her words but doesn't mean harm, she just doesn't understand why someone wouldn't be straightfoward. She is the one that cames with ideas for their mischeifs. She finds comfort in closed, dark places. Between her sisters, she's the fastest (yes, faster than Pukhraj). Halloumi Cheese is very good in offensive magic

Akkawi Cheese is 12 min younger that Halloumi Cheese. She's extrovert and talks A LOT, but is a bit redundant. She hates studying. She likes shiny things, but for their parents and siblings concern (except Halloumi Cheese), that includes fire. She loves candles. She makes possible Halloumi Cheese's ideas at the best of her ability. Akkawi Cheese is very good with defensive magic.

Now a little extra.

This is how Spice Laddu looks with his eyes open!

Have they considered attaching the president to a long pole and using his large floppy suit and limp body to mop up the algae from the reflecting pool

“For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, ‘Of course.’ When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.”

Do you have any favourite platonic relationships (like friendships and family) in both CRK and CROB?

I love the camaraderie between the heir trio (Nimbus Cake, Xiaolongbao and Longjing Tea). I genuinely find it a massive shame that so many people immediately stooped to making them stereotypical yaoislop. I love yaoi like everyone else but it at some point it comes across as fetishizing male interactions regardless of logic or context and it's a huge bummer. I need people to allow men to care about each other and have close friends without automatically being branded as gay*

Peach and Plum also have a really charming friendship, it's been such a blast seeing them star in the Martial Tarts storyline. I honestly missed them (and I appreciate how this arc has been fleshing them out both individually and as a duo)

Also really love the sibling vibes between Bamboo Blade and Halite Gauntlet (can you tell I'm a sucker for the Martial Tarts gang lol)

The Dragon City gang is also dear to me, especially Hollyberry and Pitaya Dragon. Reject Hollytaya romance, embrace Hollytaya bromance haha. Those two were never anything to be but besties and I have a much happier time viewing their interactions through that lens. And the rest of the group adds a lot to the dynamic, I couldn't really imagine them without Wildberry or Tarte Tatin or Royal Margarine. 10/10 group I wish we could've seen them go on more adventures together

Really love the angst and bittersweetness between the Novas. I was all for the drama between Xylitol and Stevia when the latter's story debuted. I really enjoy seeing clashes of beliefs/ideals in stories and I liked how they applied the archetypal religion/faith vs logic/technology debate to them. I look forward to what happens with the other 2 Novas (iirc Allulose is next?)

I was, am and always will be the biggest sucker of all time for the family/kin dynamic and drama between the 5 dragons. They give me such brainworms. I rotate each dragon and their relationships with one another inside my mind microwave far more often than I show online haha. Even if I don't really care for how the arc concluded, I still love them very much. (They factor in a lot into Lava Smoothie's (my PitayaFire child) story, especially Longan Dragon)

CHEESE GANG MY BELOVED. Golden Cheese and the stray cats she found in the desert and adopted. They are so so so.... They are everything to meeeeeee

The Ancients are the found family of all time to me, they truly are the funhouse mirror version of the Beasts and I love to see it. I truly do wish we actually got to see them together as a friend group outside of flashbacks, or seen more of how they connect with each other on an interpersonal level in general. Devsis really dropped the ball with that imo. They're a great team and get on like a house on fire but I want to see more of WHY, you know?*

The dough siblings. The dough siblings. The dough siblings. The dough siblings. The dough—

Triple Cone Cup trio are also the besties of all time to me (although I do like Capsaicin x Kouign-Amann haha)*

I find the way Earl Grey looks after the Chess Choco twins is very sweet. I was at first annoyed that he didn't show up in the chess hotel update in Kingdom, but quickly realized he was better off lol (I can't take any more Ovenbreak casualties in Kingdom)

Legendary quartet (Fire Spirit, Wind Archer, Sea Fairy and Moonlight) is old but gold. Really showing my fandom age with this one haha. The besties of all time

[cuppanova]

King Abbadon Czerulian is a stolid, cold-eyed demon who has gained and lost a lot in his life. He belongs to a lineage of great monarchs who commanded the respect of their people, and since the twilight of the Sixth Crusade, it has been his turn to earn his place in his family's legacy. However, there seems to be a lot he's dealing with, above all a strained relationship with his only son and Heir-Inheritor, Prince Lilac. With an entire kingdom to rule over, the despondent monarch seems comfortable fulfilling his duties and nothing more - a destiny as honorable as it is a burden on his weary soul.

Due to divine magic coursing through him, he's also quite huge.

Heyyy, I'm back, I didn't die, lol. This beautiful girl is Matar Panner owo, I love her so much, she's so cute. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this little gift @burningcheese-merchant

[burningcheese-merchant]

MICHIIIIIIIIIII I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MADE THIS OH MY GOODNESS AAAAAHHHH

[burningcheese-merchant]

merchant tell us about your ships in ovenbreak!

(if you want of course)

Sure :P bit of a long list so I'll try to be brief with each one

Pitaya Dragon x Fire Spirit (my OG OTP, I've been shipping them since Pitaya first debuted and still adore them today. I could talk about them forever tbh. I gave them a fankid named Lava Smoothie, he has his own tag ☺️)

Nimbus Cake x Halite Gauntlet (big one for me after the latest Martial Tarts arc, I love them very much they are hetgem)

Millennial Tree x Sugar Swan (cute wholesome creator god couple. Wind Archer is their son to me)

Millennial Tree x Longan Dragon (one-sided on Longan's part though. Too proud to ever do anything about his feelings, and so whatever opportunity there was for them to be more died out. Whether MT ever felt the same isn't known for certain, and no longer matters since he moved on and chose Sugar Swan. Now Longan is just alone and bitter)

Lotus Dragon x Hydrangea (go my slightly toxic master/servant yuri)

Pilot x Dr. Wasabi (kooky old people love ❤️ it's just funny to imagine Wasabi hitting on a flustered Pilot lol)

Dino-Sour x Mustard (I remember this one being a favorite when I was still in high school haha. The cool rebel couple)

Chili Pepper x Cotton Candy (this one is incredibly silly, and I admit that I was swayed by a lot of fanart I saw back in the day. But they're adorable to me. Opposites attract, Chili the obnoxious criminal being swooned over by a ditzy ultra romantic who looks past her flaws and appreciates her few virtues is so precious)

Elderberry x Starfruit (they argue like an old married couple and it's so fun. Plus I genuinely love the ideological conflict between them and how they push back against each other's beliefs. They really were the highlight of the Taurus update)

Milk x Yam (ancient yaoi.....)

Raspberry Mousse x Rose (easily understandable knight x showgirl thing. Which actually is more or less canon as of the Sun Tournament update, which is neat haha)

Lobster x Mocha Ray (angst supreme, divorced and bitter about the past they both still secretly reminisce over (but now considering reconciliation after realizing their flaws and working on themselves) type shit. You gotta see the whole Sugarteara arc to understand)

Aloe x Cyborg (bittersweet angst, Aloe defying God and nature to bring her special person back to life but are they really the same person anymore? That Ship of Theseus dilemma coupled with everything else makes them so interesting to me)

Croissant x String Gummy (ohhhh my gosh. I love CroisString so much you have no idea. I could yap about them (and I might have already, I lose track of posts I've already made pretty often LOL))

I'm still a bit iffy on Rambutan x Lychee Dragon just because Rambutan first knew them as Mangosteen, who I'm pretty sure was meant to be a child. I like the ship otherwise, it's just kind of hard for me to move past that part yk. If I could then I'd be all about them. If someone can confirm thay Mangosteen was actually just a really short adult like Lychee is then that would be great haha

Abyss Monarch x Electric Eel (uuuuuuggggghhhhhhh AbyssEel my beloved... They also deserve a yap post, I love my Sad Tortured Guy x Ray of Sunshine)

Strawberry Cream x Tiger Lily (hear me out, they'd work really well together. Pretty sure I wrote a post about them, if I find it I'll add a link here)

Xylitol Nova x Astronaut (cute space hetgem, I have a fankid for them but never got around to drawing her)

Adventurer x Blackberry (THE OG HETGEM I'VE ALWAYS LOVED ADVENTUREBERRY. I was so happy to see Kingdom keep them together. They're very dear to me. Onion is their adopted daughter change my mind (apparently I didn't finish this point and never noticed until now RIP))

Ice Candy x Skating Queen (wholesome ice rink yuri)

Princess x Knight (another og ship, very happy that Kingdom also offers crumbs (and actually even makes it more obvious!))

Hero x Cheerleader (very very simple nerd x prep)

Herb x Cherry Blossom (very very simple plant nerd couple. College sweetheart vibes. Zero drama, just peaceful picnic and park and garden dates)

Cherry x Gumball (cute, simple rivals to lovers, but child edition. You know that cliché thing you see in a lot of cartoons where a couple of kids who are always at odd actually have little crushes on each other that they constantly deny, only for there to be a cliché prom ot Valentine's Day episode where they hold hands and blush a lot and finally let their guards down for a day. That sort of vibe)

Wind Archer x Blue Slushy (I could probably make a separate post about them as well, I actually find them very charming. And they also have a fankid that's halfway designed)

Orange x Lime (old school og yuri. The way Lime is jealous and clingy while Orange is pretty oblivious but well meaning makes a fun dynamic that allows for some extra depth)

Mint Choco x Cocoa (ancient hetgem.....)

Skater x Grapefruit (same vibe as CherryGum)

Rebel x Kumiho (this one is also in small part because of old fanart. But I do genuinely like the concept of a capricious otherworldly creature catching feelings for a mortal hero who isn't very wise to it. Like if a faerie fell for Robin Hood, if that makes sense. It reminds me of actual folktales and it's cute)

Spinach x Leek (hear me out ok please. Please. Please I can explain—)

[burningcheese-merchant]

Ah shit I'm late for Father's Day haha
