🩷! Shadowsugar Art Retrospective 2025-2026 !💙
This is a commemorative post for Shadowsugar, to see how it has evolved for me, and in celebration for all the wonderful people who have supported me! + Getting 10,000 on TikTok + Getting 1,000 followers here : D
I know some people who liked this ship might be a tiny sad about official Hollysugar artwork (>> not including homophobic people❌<<), which is understandable because you wanted your own coupling (as did I), but I want everyone to know that shipping has almost always been about fanon, not canon : ) Enjoy it still as you please!!
To be fair, we did get a lot for Shadowsugar content regardless, even if not essentially couple-worthy! A year or two ago, it was just a rarepair, and no one would have expected it!! In fact, they're possibly the two beasts that have interacted with each other the most! We got costumes and a bunch of other cute things and interactions 🧡
(⚠️ If you find that many people harass you for liking the ship, please report and complain to CookieMail in the Official Cookie Run: Kingdom server. If you find that a specific individual is harassing you, report it to the designated social site but I also suggest speaking up about it either on social media or through Cookiemail so that it's acknowledged and addressed. You have a right to creative freedom as long as it's innocuous)
My first ever Shadowsugar drawings, done between April and May! (I was even using those 'prediction' drawings as a reference) Despite not knowing anything about her at the time, I was already infused with the headcanon of Black Sapphire and Candy Apple being their children in some way
My first ever fully-done Shadowsugar drawing! Also done in early May! I had no clue what their dynamic was going to be like, but I imagined she would be fond of Shadow Milk because of her love for happiness and Shadow Milk's jester/humorous attitude. She called them a trickster in the first episode of her story.
This was in later May, when I started getting myself into the theories that people were making , I found a user (who is now my friend) who indulged in Shadowsugar theories and it encouraged me to look into it. I became super obsessed with this idea because it was sooo cute, and I thought "Hey, the beasts lived for so long, they had to do something like this once right?"
When I found people who made Shadowsugar-Purelily parallel theories, again, I was super obsessed with this and loved the idea. This was also in May :)
When I created the Shadowsugar shipping Wikipedia page image! It was also in May. I was trying to figure out which Eternal Sugar sprite to use.
Again, I was soooo obsessed with the beast family idea, I just had so much fun with it... Done in late May (around the 30th) (Just to clarify, I did not really think of Sugarfly as one of the Shadowsugar child headcanons.......) In the promotional comics, it's a little canon that Shadow Milk is afraid of Eternal Sugar when she's angry which I find funny lololol
Really obsessed with the beast family idea because it was just so cute to me (+ Also in May/Maybe early June) + Shadowsugar wedding costumes that were also designed in mid-to-late May, Eternal Sugar cookie had Sugar cubes for earrings
Post-Second episode of Eternal Sugar's Beast Yeast story, I started indulging in more femslash-esque Shadowsugar and playing with a dynamic where Eternal Sugar was more flustered and thought of Shadow Milk as a nuisance.
I then made the lovingly niche little Shadowsugar dough babies, which many people seemed to be very fond of (as was I) because I love babies and I think they're the cutest things ever. These two were paired with a Purelily set
Bonus! Unfinished/abandoned artwork between May and June.
Months later, I lost some interest in Shadowsugar. Well, more like my hyper fixation went on a low, I decided to try and look for something else to fill in the void which ended up being Deltarune and I became crazy for Suselle but there was little-to-no people who were as passionate about it as I was, not to mention the senseless controversy it had, I often felt like I was alone in my love for the coupling. I ended up deciding to wait for chapter 5 to come so I and other people could and would go crazy about it again. (I'm still working on some Suselle art though)
Regardless of this being the case, I would still occasionally look up Shadowsugar content and repost whatever Shadowsugar art would pop up.
In September, I created Hanazuki-styled Shadowsugar. These were never finished designs. (If you don't know what Hanazuki is, I essentially removed all their cookie/bakery aspects and turned them floral/plant-based) They were paired with a bunch of other Hanazuki-based Cookie Run: Kingdom designs (particularly for the ancients)
Fun fact: I always draw Eternal Sugar Cookie first, I find her the most enjoyable to draw, meanwhile I find Shadow Milk Cookie the most tedious (Sorry, Shadow Milk Cookie!!)
Again, thank you all so much for supporting me! I hope I can continue drawing and enjoying Shadowsugar like I always do!
(P.S Keep your eyes peeled, because I might make a Shadowsugar animation)
