I don’t know if anyone will notice, but I put less stars in his hair and had them lose their light through out the comic. Just a little detail.
Shadow Milk decided to bake a cookie in a small, final attempt to have someone similar to him, who could understand him and the world as he sees it. Fill in the lonely moments he finds himself in everyday. As all doughies do, Blueberry Ice Cream isn’t able to really communicate the same way grown cookies,and she has the habit of falling asleep during her father’s ramblings. She still has a way of melting his heart all the same. His little Blue Belle💙
I can’t tell you how long it took me to plan out and finish this. I am so behind on asks😫.
This is a little comic about the event that led Shadow Milk Cookie to bake Blueberry Ice Cream Cookie. It’s only three parts and already done, so I’m gonna post them all together. I just broke it up into 3 parts to keep the post from being too long. I also just wanted an excuse to draw the Fount of Knowledge, especially as he starts to succumb to corruption.
Also lowkey retconning some past posts with this to match canon
After a whole year, I’ve finally made a character sheet for my Shadow Milk fanchild, Blueberry Ice Cream Cookie. Along with a quick explanation of her powers. I’ve never played the game, so I am not sure how they would work in the game. I tried to keep it very simple.
Hey with your au don't want to change your opinions I think would be funny and more interesting if a honeysuckle cookie is the daughter's silent salt cookie.
It's more interesting but I don't want to change your au if you don't want to
During the time between receiving and answering this post (about a month JEEZ), I gave Honeysuckle Cookie a slight redesign and added more to her lore.
(A decent sized post, so the rest will be below)
As a young faerie, Honeysuckle Cookie looked up to the Salt of Solidarity as beacon of hope. He was everything she felt a great knight would be: strong, selfless, unwavering, and compassionate to those he swore to protect. The Emissary served as inspiration to drive her towards becoming a knight for her own Kingdom.
Honeysuckle could be spotted flying around Solidarity in circles as she told him about her recent accomplishments at least once during his trips to speak with the King
“Train well, and you will grow into a remarkable knight one day.”
”Yes, Sir Solidarity! I promise to train everyday!!!”
——————————————————————————————————
One fateful night, as she wandered the dense forest surrounding the Faerie Kingdom, Honeysuckle heard an approaching Cookie. Recognizing Solidarity’s footsteps, she flew into the nearby trees intending to jump out in greeting…
Until she caught sight of the Virtue stumbling down the path covering in crumbs and jam. There was an unknown bundle carried in one arm. Seeing the Great Knight in such a state left her frozen in place as he walked past towards the Kingdom grounds.
She never saw him again after that night.
——————————————————————————————————
Sometime later, Honeysuckle Cookie was called upon by the new Tree Guardian for a confidential mission. Upon her arrival, she spotted the Guardian looking down at a blue orb cradled in his arms.
He lifted his steeled gaze to the Knight. Calculated and graceful, the Guardian made his way to Honeysuckle Cookie and guided the orb from his hold to hers. The Knight was given an order.
”This young soul has been given a poor hand. No home or family to return to, the sealed Silence entrusted her to me. However, I am not properly able to raise her. The child is not safe here.”
“Please ensure this child be raised somewhere safe and far from Beast Yeast.”
One of the Divine Emissary’s , her idol’s, final requests was given to her to complete.
With nothing to say, Honeysuckle bowed to him before leaving to prepare for her journey. She felt that a far off continent across the sea would be a suitable location for the infant.
The knight would leave the blue orb in a semi-secluded spot near by to small Kingdom to be found by it’s denizens at a later date before heading back to Beast Yeast. The child would be able to live a happy life in relative peace.
Imagine the shock that hit her body when Honeysuckle saw that same child countless years later, hardly 12 years old, back in the Kingdom with her companions right as the Silver Tree is threatening to break open releasing hell on Earthbread.
Been busy so I haven’t gone through all the lore in the new update yet. Blueberry Ice Cream’s story is being slightly changed. It doesn’t change her character, it’s only the bit concerning her infancy.
Instead of the Witches taking Blueberry Ice Cream Cookie away, Silent Salt finds his way to the spire and retrieves her himself. He then leaves her with Elder Faerie for safekeeping. After sealing the Beasts away, Blueberry Ice Cream Cookie is still placed in a time bubble and sent to Crispia to be raised far away.
I made a new OC to fulfill the role of taking Blueberry to Crispia. Here is Honeysuckle Cookie, the faerie tasked with the job.
No reason, I just really wanted to make a faerie Cookie. I based her design loosely on Coral Honeysuckle.
I feel like Shadow Milk was so relieved that the age of when he got out of the tree was also the same age as Blueberry Ice Cream Cookie was alive as a child. Imagine an au where when he got out, she was already an old lady almost dying... (kinda in a Captain America way)
I don’t think Shadow Milk would even tell Blueberry Ice Cream in this scenario, just take time out of his day to visit and take care of her. Blueberry would probably tell him stories about her younger years, make light hearted jokes, and call him “Sonny” unironically. He wouldn’t argue with her on it.
Does shamilk tell blueberry any old stories about the other beasts? About them in general or when they used to babysit her? Does shamilk treat them like her aunts and uncles and want her to think well on them? Or does he not really care anymore?
In the Dream World, he’d tell Blueberry some one-off stories from her “ distant aunts and uncles” without disclosing their identities. Other than that, Shadow Milk wouldn’t really care to talk about them unless asked.
From what we see of the other Beasts, (answering this post Silent Salt teaser) they do NOT like Shadow Milk Cookie. I like to think the Beasts were all very close in the past and would meet up when they had the time. If Shadow Milk was really swamped with his duties, he would let one of them watch Blueberry for a while.
Here’s a chart for example:
Eternal Sugar is definitely the type of person to give Blue a bunch of sweets right before Shadow Milk comes to get her. Sugar dresses Blueberry up and tries to get her to say her name or call her “Mama Sugar”. She can be found lying around in a flower field with Blueberry decorating the baby in flowers.
Mystic Flour has child care and activities scheduled. She’s also the beast who would most likely work while watching Blueberry. Mystic taking the time to jokingly ask for her opinions on certain topics, only to be met with baby babble. She makes sure Blueberry is fed, well rested, and clean when Shadow Milk comes back for her.
Burning Spice knows how to care for a baby. He just also likes to rough house with Blue a bit. If “a bit” meant throwing her up and swinging her around. Spice brings her along on impromptu adventures in a carrier. He also tries to give Blue lemons and laughs at her puckered face. She doesn’t stay with him for long.
Silent Salt tries but cannot parent for the life of him. He freezes anytime Blueberry is handed to him, and he’ll just keep holding her until she’s passed to someone else. Salt is more guard dog than gentle care taker. If Blueberry’s left with Silent Salt, Shadow Milk has faith that she’ll be alive when he comes back.
how would blueberry ice cream cookie turn out like if she was never taken from shadow milk cookie
(The idea of the Witches sealing away a literal baby in a tree prison for all eternity is WILD, but let’s have a little fun with it.)
Being, in his view, sealed away unjustly by his creators was bad enough, but to have his doughy, freshly baked, innocent child stuck in here with him?
It was a twist of the knife already imbedded in his heart. Left utterly powerless in changing their situation, Shadow Milk would try to keep her entertained. Puppet shows, one-man plays, and stories about everything and anything he could think of. Slipping in some that paint him and his companions as tragic heroes all while making the Witches as villainous as he could.
Reassuring her that, one day, the two of them will break free from this cursed tree. Then, he’ll show Blueberry everything the Witches denied her.
She’s also put in a time bubble in this scenario. Only in this one, Blueberry Ice Cream aging is slowed down and the bubble is used as a way to keep her body from crumbling/fading away like his. Though, it’s safe for her to go without it every now and then.
Shadow Milk created dolls and toys for Blueberry to play with as she grew. He also takes the opportunity to teach her simple magic, most of it focusing on object manipulation, levitation, and illusions. When he starts observing Pure Vanilla Cookie, he ends up passing some of his obsession to Blueberry. Similar to OG Blueberry Ice Cream Cookie, she views Pure Vanilla Cookie very highly.
After breaking free, he’d keep her bubbled up in The Dark Side of the Moon. This is done under the pretense of “making a good impression on their guests”, but really it is to keep his little Blue Belle safe and near by.
This also applies to later as, even though he lets Blueberry Ice Cream aid in his plans, she is not allowed to leave Beast Yeast.
Blueberry instead helps Candy Apple Cookie in the Faerie Kingdom.
Here’s Blueberry Ice Cream Cookie’s outfit for this timeline:
(i have more ideas for this, just haven’t drawn them yet)
