" ohhh , she found someone to breech ethical boundaries with ... is this what heartbreak is like ? "

[prestideception]

"Seriously, Lils? You know you're the only girlypop I'd ever let experiment on yours truly. Not the hag, not Provolone-Idiocy Cookie, definitely not Butter Roll."

"And even then, you haven't soooo much as taken a sample of my saliva. Tease."

tbd sylph vc: you did this on purpose didn'cha.

“I selected only the finest candidates for S.C.O.O.P. These are cookies who aren’t afraid of breaking the general rules in order to get the answers I need to find. If you were to allow every anomally to be on the loose; you’d have such a messy cluster of threads, non?”

The ex-Hound floats over to Timekeeper, claws unsheathed. She plops her cold mitts of doom and deceit onto either side of Timekeeper's face, as if they're an idiot sandwich. Ohhh, she'll get in trouble for this, but it'll be sooooo worth it.

Shadow Milk leans in, nose-to-nose.

"THAAAAAAT'S NOT THE ISSUE HERE, SLIMEKEEPER."

i love povidone-iodine cookie by the way. she's such a massive freak (honorific).

that being said. tbd sylph is barking and clawing in her direction. begone, SECOND unethical scientist, do NOT experiment on her--

[prestideception]

/crk spoilers

"Guess a-whoooooooo's got a pet gecko now~!"

[khronometreur]

A smile curled into existence, “My, charming guest, and yet here you are turning up yours.”

Timekeeper couldn’t help the smile all the same, lightly holding up the flute up in acknowledgement. How they even got an invite to this little shindig is entirely up in the air. They’ll just simply have to make it up to the cookie missing their invite. She didn’t want to take too much of the Sage’s time – this was, after all, an event held in her honour. “You flatter me, but I think the star of the show is right in front of me. You won’t be too mad that I sneaked in, non?”

[prestideception]

"Of course not!" The Sage can't help but laugh, her free hand curling over her mouth. "Especially when you're the most lively of our guests." The Crème Republic delegation was certainly a privilege to entertain, yes, but they seemed far more concerned about the Soul Jam than the cookie attached to it.

Not to mention how some of them seemed more keen on staring at her ears than anything else, or more interested in asking about the... personal lives of her and her fellow Heroes.

Her cheeks turned a soft lavender, and her ears twitched again. "Besides, this event is for all of us here at the Spire. As flattered as I am..."

"Well, I would be remiss if I hogged the spotlight all to myself."

[khronometreur]

Wrong move.

Kronos tilted their head back to get their hair free, spinning Shadow Milk out and releasing the other cookie; retreating to where their pocket of time had ripped open a means to get in. “Perhaps. But the manners could use some work.”

They didn’t like being touched as a general rule, the dancing was perfectly fine; as it was something of a fun thing to do. Kronos had also instigated it, and therefore it was within their set of rules. Touch only when touched, and so forth. The god doubted that this one knew the meaning of rules, or broke them at her whim.

“You at least, have an intriguing offer. I will think on it, loup.”

[prestideception]

Oh, they're not getting away so easily.

Shadow Milk disappears for a moment, disappearing into the endless recesses of the void. Moments later, she re-materializes behind Kronos. One arm snakes around Kronos' waist, locking them in place. Her free hand takes their face in its grasp and gently turns it to face Shadow Milk's, in an almost reverse of their earlier position.

Oh, how the tables kept on turning and turning...

"Don't think on it for too long." Her claw traces the cracks on their face like a wolf toying with its prey. "Wouldn't want you missing aaaaaaaall the good parts, now would we?" She clicks her fangs and twists Kronos around, back in her arms and forced to follow along in their dance.

"Anyway, I wouldn't be complaining about manners if I were you..." Her hair falls over her multi-eyes, locked in a hungry stare. "I mean, scuttling off so soon?"

"Didja rrrreally think I'd let ya leave when we haven't even finished yet?"

[boillybake]

Being the best, with you~

Damn, Sage Enjoyers eating well with this update...

@prestideception replied to your post “We’re saving your home, be thankful!”:

tbd sylph staring at them with the most pathetic wet dog expression:

If you see any signs of Dark Enchantress Cookie, then all bets are off. Do what you want.

[prestideception]

For a moment, she blinks. Her head tilts at an unnatural angle.

"Aaaaaaand Butter Roll?"

[vaniliight]

Snowbelle promptly pulls out the puppy eyes. 

“But, Papa likes to be Papa…” a small pout again, “So can I call you Baba…?”

( Pure Vanilla sneezed somewhere. )

[prestideception]

"YES OKAY FINE YOU CAN CALL ME BABA, JUST QUIT STARIN' AT ME WITH THOSE BIG OL' EYES--"

[vaniliight]

“Well, I can’t call you Papa, ‘cause then Papa shows up.” Huffs! “Baba it is.”

[prestideception]

But... But she's papa... She's always been papa... Crumbs, who is she even kidding? Have you seen the little brat? Trying to say no to her is an impossible feat, even for the Master of Deceit herself.

"I... suppose... that's acceptable..." Please don't hit her with the puppy dog eyes please don't hit her with the puppy dog eyes--

Do you have a preferred "style" of clothing? Or do you just go with whatever you feel like wearing at the time? - Sage

"Before my awakening, I tended to dress a lot more... how do I put this?" She scratches the back of her neck, fingers tracing over the orchid patterns shaved into her nape. "Androgynous, I suppose. Long pants, ouji fashion frock coats... I wouldn't call it conservative, no, but it didn't beget too many questions from other cookies."

"I'd like to think I'm a bit more daring now! Plenty of ruffles and frills, ease of movement, more feminine cuts... oh witches, I think I've even got a few dresses in my closet!"

[vaniliight]

Snowbelle looking at Sylphrena with a sly smile. “Okay, Baba.”

[prestideception]

"...You've been hanging out with Big Spicy too much, little pup."

[prestideception]

trans headcanons!

What would you tell someone who wants to transition? Maybe you would have some warnings, or general thoughts you'd like to share with them?

"Well, first things first... congratulations! Living truthfully to yourself is no simple feat, and taking these first steps is commendable in and of itself! Some cookies may tell you that the truth is immutable. Not so, not so. Rather, our individual truths - your truth - grows and develops over time. There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to living authentically!"

The Sage bleats and adjusts her glasses, her little ears wiggling happily. "I'm sure my counterpart would have words to say about how gender is a social construct and a complete lie. She's not incorrect, but the distinction is important for some cookies and we cannot take that away from them. As for practical advice..."

"If you are on hormones, it is of the utmost important to hydrate properly and ensure you have plenty of vitamins and minerals! Your dough is undergoing numerous changes, and you need that fuel to become the best cookie you can be!"

"Please get your Vitamin Bs and calcium. Your bones will thank you."

[prestideception]

trans headcanons with @vaniliight:

What 'gendered' terms are you okay with? Which ones aren't you okay with? (Ex. King, Queen, dude, bro, etc...)

"If any of you insipid little gnats call me mommy, mother, or any variation thereof, I will be turning your prrrrronouns into was/were."

"Otherwise it's aaaaaaall fair game~!"

[prestideception]

trans headcanons with @ovenborn:

How old were you when you discovered that you were transgender or wanted to transition? What led to said discovery? Sage!

"I suppose my answer to all of those questions would be my encounter with the Light of Truth near the Peak," the Sage says, her ears twitching, "But if we want to discuss technicalities... the signs were present, ever since I was a doughling."

Not that she had accepted it so easily back then.

Perhaps if her hair had been shorter, or her voice deeper and more authoritative, or her dough more muscular, she would have fit in better. Other cookies her age would've welcomed her, rather than see her as a target to be mocked or taken advantage of. Maybe the adults would've taken her seriously if she was more traditionally...

But that didn't make her feel any better. If anything, it further isolated her.

Part of the Sage wondered if she really needed a near-death experience to see clearly. If she'd figure the truth out on her own eventually, or spend the rest of whatever life she had at war with herself.

Maybe it was best she never know.

[prestideception]

trans headcanons with @bitterresolve:

(for sage!!) who was the first person you came out to? did they accept it?

"My fellow heroes, of course!" She claps her hands. "My Soul Jam had tasked me with accepting my own Truth and living according to it in exchange for granting me its power, so I started with the cookies that rescued me. I'd like to think it worked out successfully."

There's one conversation that stands out to her above all.

I must apologize. I should have realized sooner that you were--

Oh, it's no problem! This discovery was a recent one. I doubt any of you could have--

You don't understand. The Muse of Passion... has always been skittish around men, for as long as I have known her. Yet she took to you immediately, without any sense of hesitation.

Ah... I see.

Far be it for me to make assumptions, but perhaps I should have paid more attention. That is on me, not you.

has transitioning made you feel happier, or more comfortable? what was the best part? are there any details that make you feel particularly "at home" in your body/identity?

"Happy and comfortable are strong terms. I would suppose if we're to be accurate, I felt... correct. As if I'd been stumbling about in a pitch-black room and finally discovered the light switch! Oh, there are good days, and there are bad days..."

"But either way, I have a sense of clarity and a name for my experiences, which are far more valuable than anything else!"
