Hello, my internet name is LordSpade but you can call me Spade!
I do “x Reader” headcannons or small oneshots every once in a while if asked or if I get stricken by a good idea!
I do most things for Shadow Milk (or something the others in the deceitful crew, but it won’t be who I write for most) as long as it isn’t smut, canon x canon, or anything problematic(incest, pedo, etc…)
My asks and requests are always open, and if you have an idea you’d like to share with me then please feel free as I love interacting with other people who also passionate about some of my favorite things!
Some random things about me:
I use he/him pronouns right now, and I am likely biromantic and somewhere on the asexual spectrum, but I won’t mention anything about this unless I have discovered a better label or if someone asks me something that has a correlation to this (for example, somebody might ask for Shadow Milk with an asexual Reader & I can talk a little about how I am on the spectrum would be perceived and how general asexual things would affect the relationship)
My main fandoms are Cookie Run: Kingdom, Vocaloid, and TADC, but I only have the confidence to write for Cookie Run as of right now(but that may change depending on how confident I am later on!)
I hope you will enjoy my writing and if you ever catch any mistakes feel free to tell me as I’m typing based off the English I learned and not a translator, so I might accidentally make a few careless mistakes!
I’m gonna put this out into the wild because I have absolutely no motivation rn, but I need some insecurity comfort with Shadow Milk and/or Pure Vanilla/Truthless Recluse!! (Bonus points if it’s gender dysphoria specifically)
I need Reader to be brought to Shadow Milk’s other realm or some quiet area in the Vanilla Kingdom and cry about not being comfortable in their own dough. I need Reader to curl in on themselves and wish they were another cookie. I need them to wish they could tear themselves apart to find out why they were baked this way. I need them to make themselves feel worse thinking about why they’re upset because it seems like such a stupid reason to cry. I need them to compare themselves to other cookies and get mad at themself for being upset when others have it worse. I need them to be absolutely miserable. I need them to think about someone or something to bringing attention to their insecurities and start the cycle over again.
When Shadow Milk and/or Pure Vanilla/Truthless Recluse arrive, I want Reader to be comforted by their partner(s?) gently. I want Shadow Milk and/or Pure Vanilla/Truthless Recluse to tell them that they are perfect the way they are. I want Shadow Milk and/or Pure Vanilla/Truthless Recluse to tell them that it’s okay to feel insecure about things no matter how impactful it is to their life. I want Reader to disagree, to say that they don’t deserve it, that Shadow Milk and/or Pure Vanilla/Truthless Recluse are lying to them. I want Shadow Milk and/or Pure Vanilla/Truthless Recluse to then be determined to prove just how important they are to them. I want Shadow Milk and/or Pure Vanilla/Truthless Recluse to take time away from being productive to support them. I want Shadow Milk and/or Pure Vanilla/Truthless Recluse to sit next to them and talk to them about just how much they are loved and appreciated. I want Shadow Milk and/or Pure Vanilla/Truthless Recluse to call them their favorite nicknames and help them get back on their feet. I want Shadow Milk and/or Pure Vanilla/Truthless Recluse to be gentle and kind to them in a way they understand isn’t pity but is instead done out of love. I want them to feel good about themselves for the first time in weeks because of what they said.
“I am most certainly not projecting!” —me when I lie
For my post yesterday, nonbinary reader & bisexual reader were tied, so I’ll be doing both of them (separately) on this post and then work on the rest in order of what the poll decided! I hope you enjoy and happy pride month to all of the lgbtq+ community!!
I think that how Shadow Milk would be with you as a nonbinary person depends on where you are on the genderless spectrum! (I’m saying this because someone can be nonbinary and still use pronouns like he/they, she/they, etc… and nonbinary people don’t owe anyone androgyny. You can wear dresses and makeup, suits and ties, or dress as androgynously as you can and still be nonbinary!)
For example, if you want to completely change your wardrobe since it’s too masculine or feminine to comfortable for you, you’ll be flooded with new clothes by your delightful jester! (He’d definitely be the type of partner to lend you his clothes or even make you clothes when you ask, so let’s hope you like the color blue because you might have an unhealthy amount of blue clothes after all those gifts!) But if you want to dress masculine or feminine and admit to him that it’s a struggle to still be gendered correctly when you go out, he’ll pull a few strings for you and voila, you are respected (though you might have to ignore the way some cookies are very intimated by you now since he probably threatened the general public…)
Now, if you’re ever worried that being nonbinary might scare Shadow Milk away, he’d tell you otherwise! I headcannon him as pansexual, so I don’t think he’d care much about you being different, but even if he wasn’t pansexual, I wouldn’t think he’d be wary of you. He’s been around for a long time, and with the way Earthbread seems to be far more accepting with nonbinary cookies (I say this because I know there’s a good bit of characters canonically using they/them, he/they, or she/they), I’d say him being unaccepting would be more of a stretch.
One more thing I feel like I should say is Shadow Milk would sometimes be a little much about some aspects. For example, if you do voice training, you’d better hope that you can fit in time to do it every day (or every other day) as he’ll make sure you stay on top of it! Also, he’d probably teach you a bit of illusion magic for whenever you’re feeling bad about your body. It might not be your real body, but he feels like if it makes you happy it’s worth teaching you how to hold illusions like that!
I don’t believe that you being bisexual would cause much of a change in your relationship with Shadow Milk. As I said in the nonbinary drabble, I headcannon Shadow Milk to be pansexual, so he’d obviously support you as another queer person himself! The only thing I think could change would be how comfortable he is using female forms around you.
For example, I think Shadow Milk would’ve been more hesitant to show you female disguises before you came out as bisexual because he’d be worried that you’d be… displeased? He doesn’t think you’d necessarily make it weird, no, no, of course not! What he thought was that if he showed you that he could be a woman, you could lose interest or think less or him (because he observed that sort of trend with cookies)…
But despite that, knowing that your bisexual could lead to some fun situations if you express interest in seeing his female forms or even asking to see versions of his regular forms as women! He might start a few more plays with damsels in distress with you and use his more feminine forms to play the part, but other than that, he wouldn’t really change how he thinks about your relationship. Really, it’d just make him more comfortable adding a bit more “flair” and help him know that you’d still love him either way.
i don't know if it'll win the poll, but i'm so looking forward to you doing shadow milk x tfem reader!! in my personal experience transfem reader content is hard to find so i'm happy, but ofc i'm looking forward to whatever you write first as well ^_^!!
I definitely know how you feel when it’s hard to find any good trans reader content as I think I might be transmasc myself and I don’t see much T-T
But despite that, I really hope that when I do the transfem drabble that you’ll enjoy it! Please have a good rest of your day, and I wish you a happy pride month! :D
So… since it’s pride month, should I do little drabbles on different queer readers with SMC?
(Right now I’m thinking I’ll do transmasc, transfem, nonbinary, aroace[so it’d be a queer platonic relationship or just friends], asexual, and bisexual, but if you have any suggestions, I can do those as well!)
Here’s a poll that can decide which one I’ll do first:
Listen, I know Sage of Truth is the only Shadow Milk to never become evil, but Timekeeper also said something around the lines about Sage of Truth being “a rare truthful variant” which implies that other non-deceitful Shadow Milks exist(even if they were evil at some point, they’d been redeemed or changed enough to be considered different), so what if you were started successfully redeeming Shadow Milk? What would that relationship look like? Well sit back and listen to me rant about this idea I got at four in the morning! (Listen, I doubt a universe like this could be very canon-adjacent, but I don’t want to get rid of this since I wrote a lot & I got too attached so I’ll probably be making a whole tag for this)
You are one of Pure Vanilla’s friends who traveled with him and the group of Gingerbrave’s friends to Beast Yeast, so you were with Pure Vanilla and the kids when Shadow Milk trapped them in the spire. It was a terrifying experience, not knowing what was happening to your friend as his act as Truthless Recluse played out and trying to act as the kids’ protector all while Shadow Milk pushed you all through his trials. But despite all of the fear you felt, you also felt… confused. Shadow Milk had dragged you around a lot, likely using you as a means to mess with Truthless Recluse, but it felt like more than that. You were fairly sure that he enjoyed having you close by as the eyes in his hair all focused on you in what looked like fascination and tenderness any time he was holding onto you, making you wonder about just how many cookies he chooses to touch actually let him without any complaints like you’ve been doing. It made you realize how lonely he must be and how you weren’t opposed to giving him company. In fact, sometimes you’d actively seek him out in the spire (to no avail since Candy Apple and Black Sapphire always found you first, but still).
When Pure Vanilla had awakened and given his offer for friendship, you stood beside him with the same promise, knowing exactly what Pure Vanilla saw in him: a cookie who craves love, a cookie who wants to be understood. He initially looked like he was considering it, making you hopeful. It was sad to see how his walls went back up only a moment later, and you were worried about how weakened he seemed when he escaped before the spire could collapse. It was only when you’d arrived safely home to your cottage on the edge of the Vanilla Kingdom that Shadow Milk appeared, floating over and clinging to you like you were the only thing holding him together.
Since then, he’d been living (relatively) peacefully with you. He had made a few… improvements to your cottage like making it bigger on the inside than the outside and adding various chaotic features from the spire or features he thought were entertaining, but he never seemed to force them. If he thinks you didn’t like a particular feature, it’ll be gone whenever you aren’t looking and never mentioned again. The only time he’d consider bringing those things back is if you mention it like you want it back and by then he’d probably have it back in an instant. But despite his attempts to be subtle about how he values your permission to do all of this, his minions, who had also come to live with you, sometimes comment on it and were the ones to make you realize that Shadow Milk is willing to do practically whatever you want. So, with at least a bit more hope, you asked him the question again, and to your shock, he agreed to work towards redemption if it ment he could stay with you.
Now we get to the fun part: what a redeemed/being redeemed Shadow Milk would look like!
With a redeemed Shadow Milk, I’d assume he’d take on a less intense personality. This Shadow Milk would never truly mellow out into the Fount of Knowledge or become like the Sage of Truth because he’d never truly give away the comfort that lies and being a “self-obsessed piece of shit” brings to him, but he would definitely learn to calm down slightly with his theatrics. Now, you can’t expect him to stop being theatrical, but he will stop putting more violent measures into his scripts when you tell him to. It’s a relief that he’s started to listen to your feedback on his work and the fact that he’s not trying to hurt cookies as much anymore is something that convinced all the ancients to let you continue on with your help (though Pure Vanilla could already tell you were helping prior to this and always wanted you to stay with him). But despite that, you are still not allowed in any Kingdom without supervision due to the worries that Shadow Milk would follow you and do something disastrous in order to bring you back to your cottage. And, to be fair, this isn’t unreasonable since he’s still not very trustworthy in most cookies eyes(for good reason) and has done that before while you at the Vanilla Kingdom’s marketplace.
Now, being so untrustworthy isn’t a change for Shadow Milk, but it ends up making him feel pretty isolated now that he’s trying not to lie to himself about how his “friends” feel about him and how lonely he is even with the company of his minions. However, since you were the one to begin truly redeeming him and saw good in him even when he was admittedly a bit of an asshole, he feels safe around you. You are someone that he wants to stay, and if you weren’t there to hold him together during particularly bad moments, he probably would’ve gone mad. He gets admittedly a little scared when you leave the cottage for long periods of time, and he’ll sometimes pester you into letting him come with on long errands or visits to your friends as an animal form like a snake or bluebird. In fact, the time you first mentioned how you were redeeming Shadow Milk was in a meeting where he’d gently wrapped himself around your neck as a snake, silently glaring at Pure Vanilla to the point where you felt his identity behind the disguise was obvious.
And now that I brought it up, some things will never change about him. For example, he still doesn’t exactly like Pure Vanilla or most things that remind him of the healer because of how he tricked him. In his words, “That fool went off-script and ruined my plans, I should have gotten my souljam and cast him aside!” So you are still working on desensitizing him to Pure Vanilla, how fun. But anyways, he’s actually gotten on a friendly level with the Gingerbrave gang and he has even started to get along with his least favorite, Custard Cookie, and it’s clear he sees the small king as more than an extension of Pure Vanilla now. It’s great to see him not exactly despise the kids now despite his insistence on staying true to his thoughts on Pure Vanilla.
And, additionally, another thing that stuck with him was his unusual quirks he gave his place of residence. Shadow Milk still makes the part of your cottage he inhabits have at least a little pizzazz such as floating objects, hallways that are longer than they look on the outside of the building, and a theme of eye related decor which you’re pretty sure he can see out of. You don’t mind most of his little touches to the cottage. In fact, you find it quite cute to see him make himself at home with little touches of himself, and you’ve gotten used to looking out for little rabbit minions roaming the halls doing little tasks. Also, his minions, now preferring the names Sweet Apple and Simmering Sapphire, both still live alongside Shadow Milk and have been surprisingly accepting of all of the new adjustments. It feels like you’re building a whole family.
But despite all of the positives, Shadow Milk is still adjusting and isn’t perfect. He messes up every once in a while and can lash out at times. What really matters though is how you realize that those moments don’t define all of his efforts as a whole. You understand that being good doesn’t immediately erase all bad thoughts. Even truly good cookies can be tempted by what they perceive as the “easier path” or act out when they’re stressed. Redemption is a process and it is better to help Shadow Milk correct those mistakes than to make a big deal of out something that doesn’t show who he is.
All in all, you do try your best to help Shadow Milk because you care. You want him to be better not to be known as the “beast tamer” or to hold power over him but to instead help him feel safe and secure. You hope that one day, he’ll be able to surround himself with cookies that would do their best to understand and respect him.
I have gained an obsession with this idea and will be responding to asks about it & possibly making quite a few more posts about it soon (maybe even another one today!) so if you liked this, stay tuned :D
(By the way, I am sorry if this had any weird errors, I only proofread this at about 7am and didn’t do any additional proofreading before posting this, lol)
Trigger warnings: Obsessive/possessive behavior, forced relationships, torture(mentioned), mind break, whump-like elements, and yandere reader
— — — —
(Please feel free to skip this note if you don’t care much about world building and just want to get to torturing your Fount, but remember to comment if you enjoy because I thrive off encouragement and would love any suggestions for future chapters since I only began writing this off a whim! But anyways, here’s a better rundown:
Ever since you fell to madness from the souljam belonging to your partner, Blueberry Milk Cookie, or at least what used to be his souljam, you have been a cookie of deceit through and through. You may or may not have attempted to… protect him by trapping him in a bubble of illusion magic that surrounded the spire when you were corrupting, but it was for his own good! You really didn’t want your partner to see how you and his fellow virtues were… rebelling against the original virtues.
Really, this was all your Fount’s own fault for not noticing the signs of your corruption sooner. If he had found out and escaped to see the war at the beginning, many cookies wouldn’t have had to die to keep him hidden y’know! Though when your husband did see the truth you had to drag him back into the spire, he couldn’t stay on the battlefield and get hurt, that wouldn’t be good for anyone...
But despite your best efforts, your husband still managed to slip away and help with the sealing spell, betraying you. He, after everything you did for him, betrayed you. It drove you mad.
You began plan a script for yourself in that tree, vowing to never be betrayed like that again, and decided that once you got him back in your spire, you’d reduce him right back to the pretty, submissive soul he’s supposed to be.)
— — — —
It admittedly hadn’t been as long as it felt like it was since you were released from the tree alongside the Fount of Knowledge’s—or the Sage of Truth’s since that is what he’s been calling himself since you were sealed—former comrades, the beasts. It had only felt longer for the Sage because of what the he had gone through ever since he was separated from the group in the spire.
You, being the vengeful cookie you are, had been evidently waiting for his return and pounced on the opportunity to trap him. You thought that with the Sage in your grasp, you could fill him in on the script and ever so kindly bring him back into his old role. It was all a part of your plan, the one devised whilst you had been slowly losing your mind from the… intense obsession you had with your Fount that got progressively worse while imprisoned in the tree. And while it may have had a few revisions upon seeing your darling with a… new persona, the changes were welcomed as you realized that you could to bring him back to his old life for a taste of his own medicine, what an absolute treat!
Now obviously the process to bringing back your loyal partner wasn’t easy, you had to torture the Sage until he full heartedly accepted you as his partner and favorite performer again, but it was definitely worth it in your opinion. Seeing the desperate way your Fount looked at you whenever you preformed for him and him alone was beautiful. It was crystal clear that your loyal partner would never dare to betray you again… which leads to a teeny tiny bit of guilt on your end.
Truthfully, you actually think you might’ve overdone it a tad with all the torture you put the Sage through to get your Fount back. Your loyal partner has been even more distressed than he was in the past, and he has been far too scared to be out of your sight for too long unless given explicit an explicit order or permission to do as such (which isn’t exactly a problem as you love him depending on you, but you expected a bit more of a fight or at least some form of resistance). But despite your worries about this behavior, it’s an absolutely adorable sight for you and it horrifying other cookies is an amusing bonus! For example, it was a particularly enjoyable sight when Truthless Recluse found your Fount for the first time.
At the time, your Fount had just broken down crying for you to stop making illusions of cookies he cares about. You’d made them talk bad about him like he’s not there, say that they are just using him for his power, or sometimes even making them force him to attempt to fight them in his weakened state all of the fun of the game. With this beautifully broken image of your Fount, Truthless Recluse had been shocked to see that this was him, this was the Sage of Truth that he’d been traveling with for a while through Beast Yeast, and the slight look of horror on his face was only growing more apparent when he saw how terrified his companion was of him right now.
Your Fount had scrambled to the back of his room and frantically pleaded for you to come out and stop with your illusions, making Truthless Recluse realize that he should probably help him out before you do show up and push him away since not allowed around here. And thankfully for your Fount, Truthless Recluse went inside the dark room to heal the wounds on your Fount which are most definitely all things you have caused. It was extremely surprising that your Fount felt safe again, but he surprisingly didn’t fight the healer’s magic and sat silently beside Truthless Recluse. He was content, even if just for a moment, so you of course made sure to make that a one-time experience.
But despite that little incident, your loyal partner is so perfect nowadays! Your Fount doesn’t resist and is ever so fun to show off, especially to the other beasts. Seeing how broken he is really drives the point that you are just as powerful—if not more powerful—than the rest of the beasts. It’s really is a good thing that you learned all your magic from the best as it’s just so wonderful to see the way the others react to your Fount loyally sitting beside you like he was taught to.
Ah, but at this moment, the your Fount sits quietly infront of you in an outfit he’s surprised you didn’t hate(some of his Sage clothes but with more muted and dark colors, I think I’ll put an attempted sketch of this at the end) absorbing all the sweet lies you’ve been saying as he closes his eyes and pretends that this room is a safe space. Really, ever since you’ve trapped him in the spire, you truly do love to pay ample attention to the little details in his life. Now that he’s gone back to his ways as the Fount of Knowledge and has been listening to your orders about acting more like his past self, you simply adore things to remind him of his past. Some of these things include dressing him in his old robes(or adorning him with the colors he would’ve worn if you felt nice enough to allow him his preferred style), pointing out the way his hair shines brighter and brighter with stars as he is slowly driven to madness(which he knows pleases you, you’ve always liked the stars in his hair), and how he speaks with the same light and airy tone towards you as he used to.
As of right now, you’re praising his behavior, calling him your own personal gift stolen straight from the witches. In fact, the way you slowly and delicately weave your fingers through his soft hair while speaking words of affirmation and affection makes him feel like he’s back in the past where you actually cared, makes him pretend like you still call him a witch incarnate and love him like a priest does with the witches. And really this current situation it isn’t all bad, the sweet praise almost makes him forget the horror that comes with being your Fount.
If he just closes his eyes, he can forget about the hundreds of eyes all across what used to be his—no, it was never just his, he can’t remember the last time it was only him—spire that watch him like a predator. When he closes his eyes, he doesn’t have to see the way everyone looks at him like he’s made of glass. He can pretend that the way Candy Apple looked at him before Black Sapphire could drag her away wasn’t so… sad. With closed eyes, he doesn’t have to necessarily lie to himself to ignore the fact that everyone treats him as if he’ll shatter if they breathe too loud. If he just doesn’t see what people think about him, he can pretend he’s still himself, still being the stubborn and loyally truthful cookie he always has been.
“My Fount,” you call out, making the Sage—no, the Fount, he’s your Fount after all—freeze and tense, “why don’t you open your eyes for me? I have something to show you.”
Your Fount nods before obeying, opening his eyes to see the room gone completely dark, showing only the light blue eyes from your magic all looking directly at him, focused. It’s clear you consider the expression your Fount made to be amusing as he lets relization set in. You brake into a fit of laughter not long after your Fount’s eyes widened in panic, he definitely knew what this meant for him.
“Oh how adorable,” you hum as you summon a puppet strings to guide the Fount into your arms, “I really would’ve thought you’d be used to the whole ‘I’m always watching you’ thing by now. You definitely weren’t this bothered by it back in the day!” Your expression quickly turns into a playful pout, but the way your eyes darken give away your intentions. “I thought you liked me looking out for you…”
”I do… I do enjoy your company,” your Fount says, unsure, “but maybe tone it down with the eyes a bit..? I don’t like being reminded of the time you made me spend here…”
You click your tongue, not exactly pleased yet not mad either. Soon, you wave your hand and the eyes all close, the scene slowly fading into your messy bedroom instead. “Eh, sure. You’ve been good for the past few days, I’ll let you have this as your ‘reward’.”
With this development, your Fount is noticeably less tense as he looks around curiously. He’s not often allowed in here, and he knows the same is said for the minions, so he is a bit confused about why they weren’t just brought back to his room.
”Why exactly are we in here?”
”It’s much more comfortable,” you chime in cheerfully, “and this way I don’t have to plot out my scripts in that horrid room of yours while you sleep.”
Your Fount nods, he’s already used to how attentive you are when it comes to his sleeping schedule since he was never quite keen on doing that back in the day. However, he has a reason to be cautious when sleeping around you nowadays, being so vulnerable near you isn’t too… enjoyable as he’s learned the dangers from experience. Waking up with puppet strings digging into his dough tight enough to draw jam so you could sleep next to him and act like you two are still the sweet lovers you used to be was a pretty bad experience…
”Now, off to bed with you!” You snap your fingers suddenly, snapping your Fount back to reality as his outfit is switched out to be clothes better suited for bed which makes you chuckle at the quick shiver it gives him. “Make sure to actually try to sleep, don’t make me start monitoring your dreams again Blue.”
At the familiar nickname and tone, your Fount practically throws himself on the bed, already engulfed by the dark sheets. It’s funny to think about, but it’s good that he’s learning what your different nicknames for him mean. Learning that makes him need a few less training sessions, which is just plain wonderful! Ah, but you should get to your work now, you need to make a few revisions to your script thanks to a few unexpected variables.

Thank you so much for reading! Please let me know if there are any mistakes as while I did reread over this one before posting it here (which reminds me that i should probably do so on the other platform i posted on), I still might’ve made some minor grammar or spelling mistakes and would appreciate if those are brought to attention!
Here’s a quick sketch of FoK/SoT in this universe (sorry for no color, I was lazy):
I wrote something a little dark(not THAT dark, but still iffy like with whump-type elements) that I don’t know if I want to have on this account, but I’d feel bad not putting it out because I worked really hard on it. Due to this, I’ll have the poll below decide what to do for it!
The poll:
Don’t post it on here, just have it on a different account on another platform
Post it on here exactly how it was written
Post it on here with a few changes to make it less dark
Post it as a comic with the original script (might take a while, but fun)
Post it as a comic with changed script (as note as last)
Did you Know that the creator of nyan cat has a tumbler?
Also
If you write 3 sentences on your work in progress and show me, then I will write 4 sentences on my work in progress and show you!
Firstly, THE CREATOR OF NYAN CAT HAS A TUMBLR ACCOUNT?!?! (I had no idea honestly, I only recently started using tumblr more frequently and haven’t looked at much about nyan cat other than some cool fanart, so I will now be searching!!)
Secondly, I would love to see your work in progress so here’s a few sentences from a recent draft:
Shadow Milk Cookie has been complaining for every single second since his defeat against Pure Vanilla, and unfortunately for you, you get to be around to experience it as one of his minions. Seriously, you thought Candy Apple Cookie’s obsession with your master was a bit much, but with Shadow Milk raving about how annoying Pure Vanilla Cookie was, you realize that you used to have it good.
Shadow Milk had been talking to himself, or more accurately yelling to himself, for the past hour and a half. Really, it was only a matter of time before someone would be nominated to check up on him, but that doesn’t make it any more bearable for you.
You were a lesser known virtue, the virtue of compassion, and you helped cookies who struggled with life for numerous reasons with the most common being things such as old age, physical and mental disabilities, and mental health issues. With this job bestowed upon you by the witches, your kindness knew no bounds as it was baked with love—or what you could only hope was love—into your dough.
However your job was never easy. You had to deal with very real and very prominent issues that often led you to the Fount for help. Only by combining the Fount’s knowledge with your unwavering compassion and hope to improve the lives of those who suffer would lead towards the solutions that were needed, and lead to many great inventions they did! There is an almost unending list of things you created together, and with the Fount’s influence, they have been spread across all of Earthbread to anywhere and everywhere you both could reach.
It was quite remarkable to see that some inventions—like braille for example—were so impactful. You really were so happy to help cookies with your ideas, and the Fount began to feel more like a friend after all of your visits to him. You could speak freely with him, and you were incredibly grateful that he would make time in his day to help you innovate new ways to care for cookies. But sadly, all good things must come to an end.
The weight of everyone’s problems began to weigh down on you over time. You began to feel less and less appreciated, and many of the cookies you tried to give any accommodations were cheated out of their supplies. Some people were ignoring any attempts at assistance whilst more and more people started to abuse your compassion and began to use your gifts as ways to get money. It was horrible how selfish the Cookies became. Every single time you were to try to show any compassion, it would be immediately forgotten once some new cookie came around to sell your inventions at triple the actual cost. Your discoveries began to feel meaningless.
Eventually, you realized that you’d finally lost all of your love for cookie-kind, and you locked yourself away in your kingdom for a month, not wanting to face the fact that you no longer feel the compassion that should’ve been baked into your dough. You were growing mad, and a visit from the Fount—now Shadow Milk after some recent events—made you convinced to join him.
The two of you recked havoc together, getting even closer as your compassion turned to cruelty and his truth to deceit. It didn’t take long you to play along, being the evil villain in any of his shows and sometimes even taking part in the rumors he spread around the continent because it’s so easy to ruin someone’s entire existence with just one pretty little lie. All it took was you and your little jester, and that was just how you wanted it to be.

If you want to use this write about on Tumblr please tag me and if you want to write a fic about this (which I doubt, but a person can dream), then please give me a link to the fic because I’d love it if I inspired someone :]
What if Shadow milk(disguised as Lady in Azure) met a florist cookie, you, during his trips around as a civilian to spy on the Vanilla Kingdom?
At first, Shadow Milk pays no mind to you and your flower shop. Your bright smile and selflessness reminds him of Pure Vanilla enough for him to almost always avoid going near your shop. In fact, the first time you properly met him, or technically this disguise, was in an incident where he was trying to lead the cookie following him out of sight so that he could give them a piece of his mind without ruining this disguise. However, before he could do that, you’d stepped in.
You went up to the cookie stalking him and surprised Shadow Milk with being able to stand up for him. You had caused a wave of silence in the crowd as a few cookies were surprised to hear you of all cookies threatening to reveal that cookie’s secrets if they don’t leave this poor lady alone.
It was quite amusing to him. He had never thought of you to be the type to collect blackmail after all!
Now, with that cookie effectively scared away, the crowd would slowly go back to normal as a few cookies seemingly leave to report that cookie’s behavior to authorities. Once you recompose yourself, you turn to as if he’s alright and he gladly takes this opportunity to ask you about what you meant by revealing the other’s secrets.
With that question, he learns that you have some blackmail on almost everybody since nobody expects the local florist to remember all of the things they say about their partners, friends, or family while looking for the perfect flowers. That is what always drags him back to your shop. To talk about the rumors going around and seeing if anything’s true. You always insist that you shouldn’t talk about that as it’s rude, but when he talks about how much he wants to know you fold. Pretty women have always had a lot of power over you.
Later on, he might start to explicitly say things that are more unusual. You’ll hear him talking about himself in ways that sound over theatrical and sometimes a bit too prideful to be the elegant woman that Shadow Milk’s disguised as. It’ll rub you the wrong way, but it’s just a regular cookie you’re talking to. There’s no way that beast Pure Vanilla faced is talking to you… right?
It’ll be a long time before Shadow Milk would choose to reveal himself to you. He needs to know that you wouldn’t be scared off. He actually quite likes your company and wants to make you one of his minions so that you won’t ever leave him behind. But since Pure Vanilla does still come out into the Kingdom a lot to see everyone, he was bound to notice Shadow Milk’s eventually.
With Shadow Milk knowing his gig was up, he decided to pay one last visit to the kingdom to wreck havoc.

“Well lookie, lookie, it’s my favorite cookie,” Shadow Milk’s says, his smile wide enough to unnerve you even more than his words.
“You beast,” you spat, “I don’t even know you, stay back!”
“Aw,” he sighs as he shifts back into his Lady in Azure disguise, feigning being offended, “I thought you liked me! Or, at least this version of me!~”
“Wait… you—”
“Yes, I was your little friend,” he smiles cruelly, “you’re oh so easy to fool!~”

So you can take the reins from here (or even just take slight inspiration), and I hope that you liked the idea! If you want to use this write about on Tumblr please tag me and if you want to write a fic about this (which I doubt, but a person can dream), then please give me a link to the fic :D
A random Shadow Milk x reader concept that I thought of recently is our Shadow Milk, who went insane and is on his way to destroy the multiverse(?), coming across a universe where you, the reader, are still alive. (This is surprising to him because in your universe, you died shortly after Shadow Milk had been trapped in the tree.)
Just like before, you’d be like an assistant to the Fount, helping him with all kinds of things that he’s far too busy to do. However, this universe is slightly different with the fact that you actually succeed in keeping him sane enough to not fall to deceit. And with the burden of being one of the only things—if not the only thing—to keep him together, you get to experience the “wonders” of immortality that he granted you.
Now, when Shadow Milk sees you, he obviously wants to drag you with him! It’s such a rarity to see or hear about you alive, and he doesn’t want to miss out on a chance to be with his precious assistant, but he knows that doing anything against this unstable Fount might not be the best. He’s have the determination to hunt you down and attempt killing him in the process, so he does have to plan.
So you can take the reins from here (or even just take slight inspiration), and I hope that you liked the idea! If you want to use this write about on Tumblr please tag me and if you want to write a fic about this (which I doubt, but a person can dream), then please give me a link to the fic :D
