Silence of Time: Abyssal Night Cookie
After falling into the past and twisting time as we know it, Silent Salt Cookie takes a new form. And with his new form comes a new title.
Leader of the Virtue Knights and Commander of Beast Yeast, the cookies began to call him Abyssal Night, as his reign brought darkness across the skies to create an eternal night on Beast Yeast. The beast continues to grow in power yet remains within the continent.
Not many see his face, as the beast cloaks himself in shadow, leaving only the ominous glow of his three eyes.
Even now, he remains the same as before⦠at least to himā¦
A silly little update on the "Magolor's Monologue as Shadow Milk Cookie" video.
I got the audio down (just took a minute to mess around with one my lines) I just got do some finishing touches.
Will either be out by tomorrow or tonight (šø-w-)
FUCK IT, THIS IS GOING ON MAIN
THIS IS FUCKING HILARIOUS
OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS IS HILARIOUS WHAT?!
Silence of Time: Knight of Change
After the fallen knightās arrival, the timeline had split, and in his attempt to prevent any calamities, he changed his friendsā¦
The virtuous knights are a group of elite Kala Namak Knights who were brainwashed and now loyally serve under the new ruler of Beast Yeast.
The Knight of Change is one of the five knights in this elite force, while his destructive tendencies remain contained, he still remains just as brutal as his beast counterpart.
He now remains stationed in his old domain, where he maintains peace and squashes any form of rebellion.
Everything has changed for the betterā¦. Right?
Some more Catified cookies
Anything but the bravegang for real⦠I had urges to draw Croissant as a sequel to Timekeeper, which ended up with me making more than just Croissant.
I ended up making six sketches of catified cats, but finished four out of six. The two I have not finished yet are Aloe and Cyborg, but Iāll get to them at some point (Cyborg is a pain)
But as for the ones I did finish, here they are!
Baguette:
Baguette is mostly a smoke tabby, and was based primarily on an Oriental Shorthair! Though she has grown out her hair a lot to get it to the point it is now.
The Hamlet Trio (Sandwich, Croissant, and Hero):
I honestly kinda fell for these three, and Iām really happy I got to draw them! Especially after drawing Timekeeper eight months back!
Sandwich is based on an Abyssinian! Which gives her the high rofusing! Also gave her the four ear mutation! It mostly references her hair style but I love it.
Croissant is practically almost identical to Timekeeper, except less vibrant and fluffy. Sheās the shortest of the trio. Sheās not based on anything specific, just a cat with a bobtail!
Hero is the biggest of the three, while not based fully on a specific breed of cat, heās a mix of Maine coon somewhat! Though of course heās not as a regular Maine coon like Dark Cacao is. I may get a better body design later but thatās pretty much him!

Sprite Edits: Silent Salt and White Lily
I created mini sprite edits recently for Silent Salt and White Lily! I made them for AU/rp purposes but I still wanted to share them here!
White Lily:
Post awakening, she gets scarring based from her Dark Lily form, her hair gets more wispy as well just like Silent Saltās. She also gets pupil privileges to match with Dark Enchantress (and Silent Salt). The dough color changes to a greyish purple at her hands and up her arm.
Silent Salt:
Salt doesnāt change a lot, I pretty much just changed his hair and gave him a face! Also gave his armor some cracks as well. The way Iāve drawn Saltās face has changed over time the more that was shown about him, and I think Iāve settled on a version I like a lot!
ANGST ANGST ANGST I spent most of today finishing this
Little Salt of Solidarity
I headcanon when the beasts were baked, they were actually children, and stayed with the witches for some time before being sent to Earthbread. The beasts would eventually see their creators being their moms.
Salt of Solidarity in particular really was close to his mother. Perception (First Salt) really grew to loving him. Salt was baked with softer dough than normal, so they had to make him little armor to protect him from accidentally squishing his dough on things he bumped into.
Yes the beasts do indeed have paws and claws, they just do not let anyone see them.
Bonus sketches:
Silence of Time
An Alternate Universe where many changes occur, but the biggest change occurs right at the end..
After the rifts of time open and Silent Salt Cookie follows through with his part of White Lily Cookieās plan, grabbing a bit of the Ultimate Cookie to boost his power to hold the rifts open, Dark Enchantress Cookie impales him with one of the forks he used. However, a time rift opens underneath where he laid, taking himā¦
As the war ends, White Lily Cookie is able to reunite with her friends, and they were able to round up the remaining four beasts⦠yet the silent knight, and her father, remained missingā¦
Life would go on as usual⦠but itās getting quiet⦠to quietā¦
It hurts. Something feels wrong. Where is he? Why does everything look so colorful⦠what is [#####]ā¦
Why is he in the past�
Man I just thought of the craziest AU for BY 15 and Act 2 ever. Well maybe itās not THAT crazy, thereās little things that change leading up to the ending we all know:
Everything up to White Lily coming out of the rift with the AoD remains the same other than some rewrites to some aspects
Dark Enchantressās soul goes back to White Lily, making her whole again and preventing her death
The other beasts survive once the castle was destroyed, the power taken from the soul jams are returned to them, and the ancients.
That part of the Ultimate Cookie gets absorbed into Silent Saltā¦
Speaking of him, heās currently trapped in another timeline! Specifically far in the past! That definitely wonāt cause some problems noooā¦!
I might look more into this concept! Really like the idea of having a different beast end up messing with time instead of shadow milk (even though heās also pretty cool)!
Plus imagine if the reason for messing with time in the first place heavily differs from shadow milk! What would another beast do if they ended up in that situation instead�
Yeah, yeah I canāt stop thinking about it. I wanna add onto it.
I can see Silent Saltās motive to mess with the timelines is to āfixā them. Especially if heās mostly in one timeline. Heās still angry at the other beasts, he still believes they, including himself, should not walk free. And being sent to the past in a different timeline may give him the idea to try and prevent it, no matter what. His attempts at fixing the past only breaks the timelines more, slowly causing more and more dangerous splits that could eventually destroy the original timeline, if heās not stopped.
That is how this version of Act 2 would start.
Give me some time, Iām probably gonna draw something for this

shadow milk fatigue is real, Iām afraid
I like that guy as much as the next person, but the amount of promo/videos/etc heās getting is like eating the same food over and over again. You might love the food starting out, but youāre gonna get sick and/or want something else eventually.
This isnāt from a story perspective btw, though part of it bleeds into that. Iām moreso talking about exposure by Devsis themselves. I fully believe the marketing team are capable of letting other characters have spotlight, this isnāt about in game narrative or anything. but they know which one draws the most attention. they will keep making shadow milk cookie youtube videos and miscellaneous promos with shadow milk cookie in it. people will continue to eat it up. and good for them! but some people will also grow tired of seeing him
Pure vanilla is a casualty of this overexposure, imo. With Shadow Milk everywhere, the quickest and easiest thing to guarantee more eyes is to put him with his ancient counterpart. the great thing about pure vanilla is that he's friendlier and less bombastic, so he's easier on people. I haven't really seen people complaining about too much PV everywhere.
the problem is that he's a little too attached to shadow milk's hip at the moment. their dynamic is fun, but Pure Vanilla has characterization outside of being Shmilk's adversary (let alone his plight with White Lily, but i digress). And the more you keep mashing these two together over and over and over, the more tired it gets. Pure Vanilla is associated with Shadow Milk and vice versa, and when people are already tired of one character, the other, by association, risks that too. Shadow Milk and Pure Vanilla get butts in seats, pencils on paper, and tags in the algorithm. But at what cost to either of them, and to the people (us) constantly seeing them?
like using the food analogy again, some people can be content with eating the same spaghetti with marinara day in and day out. but some people want fettuccine alfredo or pesto tortellini. shake it up a bit before everyone gets tired of your pasta
Last thing Iāll say, I think
Pertaining to Shadow Milkās role in the narrative: You can have an elaborate plan for a story years and years in advance and still fumble the execution
Even if Shadow Milk has been built up for a long time, which I donāt doubt to a degree, the way Devsis have been presenting him in-game and out is not appealing to everyone. Which, of course it isnāt, as nothing can appeal to everyoneābut the issue is that they seem very excited, a little too excited to push their character out into the world.
Itās like if during Gravity Fallsās run, Bill Cipher got tons of official promos and episodes where he spent half the runtime monologuing. Then Disney put his face on all their marketing material. Surely Alex Hirsch had a very detailed plan for Bill walking in, but with him being literally inescapable, people grow tired of seeing him. The mystique of Bill Cipher came from how little of him we saw despite his importance to the lore. Shadow Milk had that potential but it was pretty much squandered after chapters 7 and 8. (imo, Shadow Milk was at his most engaging and mystical when we had less of him. The time between his introduction in BY 1 and 2 up to BY 7 and 8, when his presence was strong but not too overbearing)
Shadow Milkās staying power is undermined by how Devsis chose to write him and promote him. In game, he is extremely dependent on long dialogues and/or lots of screentime, to the detriment of most other characters in the same scene as him. In promotional material, Devsis are getting dependent on him to make money. Weāre seeing him everywhere, and while some people will eat it up, a lot of others wonātāand therein lies the diminishing impact of the years of planning the writers had done for this character. No matter how detailed your story is, a reader can still drop the book at any time
TLDR: Shadow Milk would ironically benefit from being in the spotlight less. Devsisās overdependency/overenthusiasm to promote their new golden boy has the potential to do more harm for their narrative than good
Okay actually last LAST thing I think Iāll say because itās important
š it is OK to like shadow milk
š it is OK to like where the story is headed
š it is NOT OK to bully the people who like those two things
š it is just a game. no matter how much investment you have in cookie run kingdom, no matter how valid, at the end of the day it is just a game. it is not life or death and it should not be life or death
š and you are ALLOWED to be critical of the media you enjoy. in fact, you should be more critical of the media you enjoy
I can agree with so much of this as someone who isnāt a full Shadow Milk fan (i have silent salt and mystic flour bias) and someone who does enjoy parts of the story!
Iām not extremely tired of seeing him, yet, but I just want to see more of my favorites to you know, I want to see more of the other beasts (spice especially heās probably the most intresting beast to me). We do have a new PM now though Iām unsure if that will cause any changes to the general problems for the story. I think with all the foreshadowing shadow milk could have been better if he was done just a bit doggedly! Itās possible for there to be good villains and lead ups, looking at Longan Dragon as probably the best example, they just need to take more time to develop the story.
I just see no point in putting so much energy on just completely hating on the game, and people who do actually like the game and shadow milk in general. At the end of the day what happens, happens. Opinions are valid at the end of the day. Everyoneās headcanons can differ, so do ships and interpretations! Let people come to their own conclusions and donāt push or hate on people over their opinions, headcanons, and ships!
Aha! Animatic complete!!
Donāt look at the calendar.
For being a joke animatic that used sprites for some bits for April fools Iām still very impressed with myself. I finished that in five hours
Maybe one day Iāll remake this more seriously
