In honor of posting chapter 4 of Bound by Void on AO3 here are some sketches and sort of inspirations I take for the Beasts and Ancients and other Cookies.

The first thing I want to make sure for this AU the Witches would work differently, yes they baked the cookies and gave them life, but are not as kind as portrayed in Witches castle. They will be more align with the folklore and fairy tale witches.

Burning Spice - he is the oldest of the Beasts, he was the one who was most involved with cookies and saw almost everything, keep in mind he was around eons, saw countless kingdoms/republics/etc. fall and rise before he was saw as deity and kept in his temple only to get bored out of his mind. I'm kind of keeping Mesopotamian and first cultures in mind for Burning Spice while keeping his temper and need for destruction (to do it by himself, put his hands to work). For this he is really smart with technology, but his magic is weakened since Creation was taken by Abundance.

Mystic Flour - second oldest, she was in similar place as Burning Spice, but she was put on pedestal of a deity sooner than him because of her ability to grant wishes. Out of all the Beasts time escapes her the fastest. She has inspiration in ancient China, her style and so. As for her magic she heals completely differently than current healers. She actually replenishes flour in the dough instead of simply closing the wound (over using healing could cause cookies to shrink). But overusing her healing can turn cookies dough to flour, so her turning other cookies to flour is overhealing them.

Shadow Milk - middle child, he knows. Oh he knows things and knows he cannot do anything to change them. As scholar he created schools and academies, libraries and then was put in place as mediator when it came to conflicts and outside teaching he was mostly approached by royalty. For inspiration of his behavior I loosely based him on Riddler and keeping in mind Alexandria library. He kept his knowledge as it helps him knowing what is lie and what is truth. But actively tries to keep himself from knowing too much, his head is already too full.

Eternal Sugar - second youngest, she was second mostly involved with cookies keeping in touch with them even after the Garden was fully established trying to keep them happy at all costs (even to her). She got obsessive by keeping cookies with her so she wont feel like tool to be used and discarded. She has huge abandonment issues the worst out of the Beasts. For inspiration its obvious Garden of Eden and Garden of Heavenly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch. Also Old testament.

Silent Salt - youngest, even though he was involved with cookies since wealth and status became a thing he focused on the least fortunate ones unconsciously dismissing everybody else. He is the most delusional out of the Beasts, not really realizing he corrupted and how long he was corrupted. For inspiration is Chivalry culture and Knights and Samurais.

Dark Cacao - Inspired by Japan and Shoguns. Set in his ways and thick headed. After the scuffle with Affogato he is open to changes in his kingdom and tries to listen to his people more than before. Even added more sweetness to provisions. Out of the ancients he is the one who could take on the Beasts and possibly win. (I'm still trying to grasp his character fully)

Golden Cheese - obvious inspiration with Egypt and Neoncore, I would also add capitalism to the mix. She doesn't realize but along with Greed she is also Stagnation, wanting to keep everything as it is and not move forward. Surprisingly she is the most averse to changes. She would lose if she went against Eternal Sugar and Shadow Milk (they would not attack her cookies but play on the reality that she actually locked them all in virtual paradise, in a lie).

Hollyberry - inspiration with French baroque and its opulence. As much as she likes her cookies she is not exactly ruler material. Her daughter in law is much better at it. She is out of the Ancients the one who works on herself the most. I think she would have problem with Shadow Milk and Mystic Flour.

Pure Vanilla - inspiration from Christianity and New Testament mostly. Lot of Vatican inspired imaginary and how Christianity should be. He is kind but tends to excuse his friends and cookies. He has few safe foods he tends to eat and the kids noticed. I'm writing him as extremely nearsighted. So he can see things that are about at arms length but everything else is blurry and causes him headache. He would be able to take on Eternal Sugar and Silent Salt.

White Lily - inspired by the nomadic tribes mostly Kazakhs. She does have problem with taking on a lot by herself even if her friends offer help thinking its her own burden. She is trying to reconcile that Dark Enchantress Cookie is splinter of herself, but since everybody seems to see them as one cookie, its hard for her. She would actually take Shadow Milk, Eternal Sugar and Mystic Flour.

The Brave gang - there will be more in the story about them, but one important thing is they always have food on them. Since the Bear jelly incident they never leave their kingdom without food.

For kingdoms Creme republic - corrupted democracy that puts a lot on cookies flavor and their lineage. There are good cookies there, but ... yeah

Cookie Kingdom - young kingdom that actually works as democracy. So far there is no corruption.

Berry kingdom - kingdom with strong lineage based on ancient hero HollyBerry, currently ruled by her descendant and his wife

Faerie kingdom - currently without ruler, but preparing for war.

rest will be formed more with the story, I keep in mind the other places and how they could be in the story. But for now this is all I try to keep in mind while working on the story.

[trying to explain czech politics to anyone right now] yeah man the head of the "car owners ftw" political party that got not even 7% in the elections (threshold for being allowed in the chamber of deputies as a party is 5% and their popularity is dropping as we speak) wrote in a text message that he intends to blackmail our president, because said president is refusing to let another guy from the car party be a minister. yeah it's because guy 2 got caught severely naziposting on facebook fairly recently. yeah a decently large contingent of politically aware czech population thinks that party head and naziposting guy either 1. are actively fagging out or 2. desire to do so, both because of the Haha Funny Rightwingers Gay homophobia factor and also because party head is somewhat effeminate in manners. yeah no this whole shitshow has been going on since like, october.

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

said blackmail texts also included the 🙈 and 🙌🏻 emojis btw and he sent them at 0:30 at night

I dont follow news because Im severely burned out, but WHAT THE FUCK?

[wetheurban]

Sending love to anyone who is just… tired.

Not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, socially, financially.

Life is asking a lot right now.

Pause when you can. Breathe when you remember.

Give yourself space. Give yourself grace.

Yes, this is my circus, those are my monkeys, and yes I deliberately gave them those flamethrowers.

[newestvegas]

there’s nothing wrong with overly self-indulgent shit like honestly

make that fuckin beauty and the beast au with your otp

draw your favorite character broken and bloody for no reason

make a self-insert that’s super important and powerful

write porn of that obscure ship centered entirely around your personal kinks

headcanon your faves as your sexuality, gender, etc

have fun man

i mean in the past i’ve made fun of all these things but i’ve grown up and chilled out and honestly? fiction is your platform to go nuts. have a great time. do what you want to

just respect other people’s boundaries and don’t go forcing your headcanons down other people’s throats, because they deserve to have a good time too

enjoy fiction however you want to and don’t let other people tell you how it’s supposed to be enjoyed

[newestvegas]

to all the people reblogging this and saying “except for this type of ship i don’t like”: get bent

[prismatoxic]

i wrote this post almost 8 years ago, in may of 2017. in 2018 a long, aggressive harassment campaign run by the exact sorts of people the reblog was about got this account terminated a few months before the nsfw ban. it took me a while to come back to tumblr and once i did, it took me even longer to openly post about profic stuff like this again. i never in a million years expected to see some old post of mine cross my dash today with almost 70k notes; as i recall, it had a few hundred when this account still existed.

i’m not nearly as confrontational anymore, but if there’s one thing that’s still true, it’s that i stand by everything i said. and i’m glad i said it. scrolling through the notes, i found some old comments disparaging me or this message, but what was important to me was all the comments that said something to the effect of “i needed to hear this”.

i want more people to hear this, really. i want people to know that you can do whatever makes you happy in your fictional works. those characters aren’t people, and you can’t meaningfully hurt them. things you explore fictionally don’t mean you condone or desire them irl. “bad” or cliche writing doesn’t somehow hurt other people, and really, it doesn’t hurt you either. self-indulgence in art is not a crime.

please create what brings you joy. block people who upset or attack you. avoid what you dislike and uplift what you enjoy. fandom is only as serious as you make it, but it’s not activism, and it’s not a test of morals either.

A beautiful piece, and I love how you've drawn their poses and body language. Len's impishness and Mick's frustration are conveyed really well here!

[maxkennedy24]

[gorogues]

Absolutely gorgeous! A lovely moment between the two of them, and I love how the energies from their guns form a heart :) Your work with colour and shading here are superb too!

Fandom: Cookie Run (Video Game) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Eternal Sugar Cookie/Hollyberry Cookie (Cookie Run), Pure Vanilla Cookie & Shadow Milk Cookie (Cookie Run), Pure Vanilla Cookie/Shadow Milk Cookie (Cookie Run) Characters: GingerBrave | Brave Cookie, Wizard Cookie (Cookie Run), Strawberry Cookie (Cookie Run), Pure Vanilla Cookie (Cookie Run), Shadow Milk Cookie (Cookie Run), White Lily Cookie | Saint Lily Cookie, Dark Cacao Cookie (Cookie Run), Hollyberry Cookie (Cookie Run), Golden Cheese Cookie (Cookie Run), Burning Spice Cookie (Cookie Run), Eternal Sugar Cookie (Cookie Run), Mystic Flour Cookie (Cookie Run), Dark Enchantress Cookie (Cookie Run) Additional Tags: there will be more Characters and Relationships, the pureshadow is slow burn, and I mean that Shadow Milk will have more friends before there will be even attempted friendship with Pure Vanilla, lot of headcanons taken in account, Cookie Run Characters Are Ambiguously Cookies or Human, Wizard Cookie has enough sass for whole kingdom, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Shadow Milk knows more than he lets on, Silent Salt still locked the beasts away, the Silver Tree was really bad idea, Fount of Knowledge doesnt know how to say no, Slow corrution of the Beasts, Fast corrution of the Beasts, not exactly redemtion fic, Light of Soul Jams, Shadow of Soul Jams, Read Addendums say the one who wrote the laws, The Beasts are not sorry for what they did, They are not excused in their behaviour, but there was breaking point, implied abuse of Eternal Sugar, No beta we die like my sleeping schedule, the beasts are not exactly friends, even though Shadow Milk calls them such, shadow milk has unnatural hatred towards shoes, Burning Spice talks about the Bird hunt so much because it was the most fun he had in ages, or eons, the Beasts are OLD old, Void is a prick Summary:

The stage is set up, the actors needs to be put in their places. War is looming over Earthbread and there is nothing that could be done. They can prepare for battle - Crispia, Fairy Kingdom, Beasts-Yeasts. And other factions unknown to others.

Shadow Milk Cookie is setting up more for the war, locking himself away from his minions and other Beasts. He knows something and fears something more than the Silver Tree. Don't get him wrong he hates the tree with all his being, but there are other things to fear.

When the Void looks back and smiles its time to run. To where and to whom? That is the question. Maybe ask the one who already touched the Void and gained it's attention.

With the holidays here, thought this is worth sharing

[momkat]

This website is still here and some of the asks are heartbreaking. Like “Jamie wants a new pair of jeans because he’s never had new clothes before”. Or “Kayla wants a bag with her name on it for when she moves foster homes again.”

A lot of these kids ask for brand name clothing and it sounds pretentious but having one nice new fashionable piece of clothing means a lot when all your previous clothes have come out of black trash bags from charities.

[silvermoon424]

Btw, you can filter wishes based on gender, age, price, etc to help you find the perfect wish for you. This charity is LGBTQ-affirming (unlike a lot of religion-based charities that are unfortunately homophobic), so you can even look for nonbinary kids to donate to.

Also, I would really encourage people to be open to granting wishes made by older foster kids (14+) or young adults who aged out of the system and still lack family support. They’re so often forgotten.

[specialagentartemis]

If you don’t have a lot of money but still want to help give a kid a nice Christmas, there are lots of wishes that are $24 for stocking stuffers as well, or $15 for a sqishmallow!

[seananmcguire]

I just want to add that right now, there are so many pending wishes for food. Kids are asking for food from the universe (and yeah, “kids” includes young adults just entering the work force–eighteen and hungry is just as morally wrong as eight and hungry).
