My personal take: I think it's safe to say that both The Beasts AND The Ancients can be easily yanderes, with the only difference that, well, The Beasts already are a bit fucked up (I mean, Eternal Sugar is a canon yandere, most second more likely to be would be Shadow Milk), so they're more obvious about it while the second is more subtle or slow
Why? Most typical reasons are that they're immortal, meaning they've lived long enough to see everyone they love die (note: Golden Cheese), all of them have been through some nasty trauma and they come to the painful realization of just how fragile cookies can be, affecting their view in a potential relationship— which ends up developing as obsession, fear and overprotection. After all, the life of an immortal can get pretty lonely
anyways have your hubby
also also my take on each beast and ancient as a yandere bc why not. Long ass ramble/headcanons under the cut
THE BEASTS:
❦Shadow Milk: Manipulative (obvs), stalker, clingy and obsessive. Once I read a post about him and since then I can't take it off my head, it basically said: I don't think he's that prone to kidnapping you, he wants you to love him as much as he loves you, after all. You have to peak his interest and then his obsession will grow very gradually, just like he obsessed and taunted Pure Vanilla, but once he decides to show up to you when he sees the time's right— you can tell his sheer adoration towards you. Pretty jealous tho, and I see him kinda getting insecure if you seem to favor Pure Vanilla or his past self
❦Eternal Sugar: Manipulative, isolating, delusional, obsessive and dependent. She genuinely wants your happiness, but as we all know, her methods aren't the best. Basically imprisons you into her garden. If not that, I can see her basically following you around like a lost puppy and trying to make you happy at all costs. Her emotional and mental state are very dependent of you and how you feel, so she feels like her jam melts each time you get mad at her. Then again, she's pretty delusional so she might not take the hin— clear signs. On a good side, she's probably the least jealous beast.
❦Mystic Flour: Possessive, overprotective. That's about it, sorry, I don't know much about how to characterize her 😔. Most likely scenario is that you caught her attention, maybe even touched her apathetic heart. Just a little. But that was enough for her obsession to gradually grow. She genuinely wants you to see her point of view and follow apathy, just that unlike the other cookies, she's pretty patient and won't force you, at least not so directly. Despite her wish for everything to return to flour, she finds herself wanting you by her side, watching the white dust falling from everything you once held dear.
❦Burning Spice: Overprotective, jealous, delusional, attacking. Least to say, he's the most likely to kill, without any regret or hesitation. (I mean, all beasts kill but, y'know). I didn't know well how to characterize him as well until I read a post, basically: After seeing so many civilizations and creations being destroyed over and over again because of the change (or lack thereof), he finds himself wanting to preserve one thing: you. He's extremely overprotective, destroying anything that comes near you, innocent or not. In his mind he thinks he's protecting you and you find his strength and loyalty as love, even though is far from it.
❦Silent Salt: Overprotective, self deprecating, loyal, worshipful. Probably the most overprotective and second most prone to kill next to BS. After all his corruption and mistakes, he finds himself to be too dirty, afraid to taint your light that oh so enlightens his lonely, dark path he built around himself. Never really tries to meet you, though, he always watches from the shadows and silently kills any enemies in the way before you even walk down through it or notice. He sees you as the last hope of cookie kind he must protect.
THE ANCIENTS:
❥Pure Vanilla: Overprotective, dependent, worshipful and obsessive. I mean, he's a healer, and Shadow Milk himself called him 'submissive soul' lmao. Most likely the most "harmless" yandere, but doesn't make him any less overwhelming. Take Viridescent Daydream as reference. Extremely cheeky but also worshipful. Just like White Lily and Silent Salt, sees you as a pure deity. Maybe a bit delusional into thinking you're the only soul that truly understands the pains he never lets anyone see under his calm facade. Also, despite being the most patient being in Crespia, if pushed to his limit, I could see him giving you the wrong pills so you stay sick, or if you already have a long-term illness, making you even more dependent on him, although you can see the guilt trembling in his smile.
❥Hollyberry: Overprotective, clingy, delusional. Ironically, pretty similar to her other half. While she keeps her cheerful and nonchalant usual self, she's also incredibly clingy, always taking you with her anywhere she goes to the point Wildberry and Pitaya are completely acquantied with you. Delusional because she can't ever seem to take a 'no' seriously from you, thinking you're just being moody or pouty. The only time her facade seems to break is when your dough suffers the slightest crumb, specially if it was because of her.
❥Dark Cacao: I know I'm saying overprotective for almost everyone but he's the epitome of such. Also, self-deprecating, isolating and devoted. Why? His paranoia over your safety being put at risk and with how many enemies are breathing down his neck...well, might also coward out and just lock you up in his kingdom, in a room supervised by his most competent guards 24/7. He doesn't feel any power off of this tho, just feeling regretful and knowing you probably hate him. And he doesn't blame you, doesn't have any right to. Despite all, his loyalty will always lie with you, and every action his dough does is thinking of you, even if you hate the mere thought of him.
❥Golden Cheese: Monopolizing, isolating, doting. Seemingly the most chill-going at the beginning, until she decides to lock you up in her virtual paradise. She spoils you rotten with goods and gold, treating you smugly as her 'most treasured prize', giving you anything you could ever ask for— as long as you don't leave her. It goes to a sad point where she no longer cares if you actually love her or not, or if you just want her possessions, just please don't leave her...she can't lose anyone else.
❥White Lily: Worshipful, stalkerish, self-deprecating, obsessive. Well, kinda obvious. Again, like PV and SS, she sees you as perfection made dough— the perfect specimen, if you will. Very shy to approach you, her obsession grows very gradually but surely. Prefers watching you from the background, believing you wouldn't ever want a nuisance like her in your presence. Studies you like crazy and her obsession can get pretty sick. I don't believe she's willing to kill, but she WOULD betray her very ideals and beliefs for you. Worst case scenario: yandere Dark Enchantress Cookie
(sorry if it's bad, I'm really not a writer and my vocabulary is pretty poor, but I hope I made my point across— augh </3)
Hii, I love your Crk x KoG au and hope to see more of it in the future!! I just wanna see if I can request more Fount (and friends) in this au interacting with reader.
☆ How They React to Jealousy — Beast Cookies x Reader ☆
Genre: Fluff || They/them pronouns for reader || Small CW for varying degrees of possessive behavior
A/N: Cheesy? Yes. But also a characterization exercise. We'll pretend whoever's flirting with you is just mega stupid to not automatically recognize the Beast Cookies
──────.𖥔 ݁ ˖˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗.𖥔 ݁ ˖ ──────
Mystic Flour
ᯓᡣ𐭩 To put a name to any of Mystic Flour's emotions is ill-advised, as she firmly insists apathy is key to everything. She certainly doesn't feel anything when a small, measly crispy Cookie comes up to chat with you. Nothing at all. Or that's what she tells herself, at least
ᯓᡣ𐭩 She will open up her eyes to give them one of her chilling stares, which in most cases is enough to make Cookies flee immediately. If they persist, she steps close to your side, showing that you have someone occupying your arm already
ᯓᡣ𐭩 "Your quest for company is utterly futile. Turn back now, and spare my beloved the sight of your pitiful face."
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Afterwards she stays close to your side, commenting about how the needs of Cookies are so meaningless and simple. She doesn't object when you link your arm with hers. If anything, you could swear she holds you tighter than normal
Burning Spice
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Honestly he's more offended that a Cookie approached and didn't acknowledge him at all. They went straight to you, immediately getting too friendly. The Spice Overlord felt his pride fall to the side for once, feeling intensely competitive over you
ᯓᡣ𐭩 He's not subtle about it at all. Gives the stranger a nasty glare as he wraps a huge arm around you, tugging you close until your back touches his chest. He looks at the mortal with judgement. Someone as puny as them thinks they could earn your hand? How pathetic!
ᯓᡣ𐭩 "Run along now. Unless you're prepared to fight for that prize"
ᯓᡣ𐭩 If anyone's stupid enough to take him up on that offer, they're head-first flung yards away in seconds. For the rest of the day he keeps you squished to his side, making comments about how only he can keep you as his grand prize. Puffs up a bit when you squeeze his arm or affirm his boasting
Shadow Milk
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Emotions right on his sleeve, starts glaring at the other Cookie instantly. He becomes extra clingy, hovering around you at all times and constantly cutting off the other so he can hold your attention instead. Any time you're not looking, he gives them more disgusted glances
ᯓᡣ𐭩 If that somehow doesn't work, he isn't above just straight up scaring/threatening them away. To avoid being lectured, he'll likely divert your attention, summon up a portal, and make one of his tiny minions push them in. Before you know it, the stranger's gone, and he acts just as surprised as you
ᯓᡣ𐭩 "Awwh, too bad! I could use another puppet! Oh well, so sad. But back to more important matters—"
ᯓᡣ𐭩 You're not oblivious, you knew what the jester was trying to do from the moment he stepped into the conversation. He acts innocent, but the wicked grin on his face gives him away. He doesn't know where the portal led, and he could care less
Eternal Sugar
ᯓᡣ𐭩 It's really hard to not notice that you and Eternal Sugar are together. When she isn't hovering around you and cooing sweet praises, she's looking at you with flushed cheeks and eyes that literally sparkle. So when another Cookie tries to chat you up, she instantly feels like it's an intentional misstep
ᯓᡣ𐭩 She at minimum keeps a wing around you at all times, usually while also holding your hand and playing with your hair. She'll smile kindly at you, but there's a strain to the corners when it comes to the stranger. She knows she'll always have your attention, it's when they try to physically move in that she suddenly grips their wrist tightly, wings flared out
ᯓᡣ𐭩 "Did I say you could touch my darling?~ I know they're adorable, but they're all for me~"
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Her tone may be the same, but the dark shadow that crossed over her face was anything but reassuring. Afterwards, she returns to her usual lovey self, lamenting that she was only trying to protect you! You understand, right? You're much too precious to lose!
Silent Salt
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Definitely the calmest of all his fellow Beasts. He doesn't interfere unless he's actually 100% sure they're trying to flirt with you. And even then he'll wait to see if you get out of it, but he'll stand protective guard right behind you to cast an intimidating shadow
ᯓᡣ𐭩 The moment the Cookie pushes their luck, Silent Salt pushes back. His sword remains at his side, but his free arm wraps around you securely, a dangerous glint in the vacant eyes of his helmet. He leans in, making sure the stranger keeps their distance
ᯓᡣ𐭩 "They are not interested. Take your cheap advances elsewhere"
ᯓᡣ𐭩 The most petty he gets is making sure the stranger hears him call you 'dearest' as you walk away. Refuses to admit to jealousy, but he does openly keep you in close range at all times for weeks following the interaction
CRK Self-Aware AU but it's just them being so confused why you constantly tap them in the their cookie profile.
(Can be seen as romantic or platonic, do as you will) ((Reader is unaware that they are aware))
Now I don't know if this is a common thing among CRK players but I love tapping the hell out of my favourite cookies lovingly <33 Imagine the cookies like feeling it and being so confused why, I don't think it'll hurt (At least I hope not) and watching you giggle as they like struggle to say their programmed lines as intended.
Me thinks Burning Spice would kinda like it/enjoy it. I cannot explain why. It's almost like a punch but of course not physically, like an affectionate one. If he ever finds a way out, he'll return the favour and poke you many times to your cheek.
Some cookies like Shadow Milk may take it personally first, he's trying to tell you things!! Who cares if you've heard them all already, what if he decides to say a new one to completely shock you? He eventually grows accustomed to it and learns it's your way to show how much you love him, so he'll let you get away with it for now.
Maybe Black Forest cookie quickly sees it as a loving gesture and gets all giddy knowing that she's one of your favourites out of the array of cookies you have. She's so happy. She may brag to others about it.
Black Sapphire I feel quickly understands it, it makes him more interested in you. His microphone is fixated at you constantly as you do this loving gesture. He finds it almost endearing, even though you believe that they're still some code, unaware of what you're doing and only following programming. The fact you still try to show affection like this is quite entertaining.
Pure Vanilla probably has knows what you're doing as soon as you do it, or finds out quickly as well. He's honoured to be this loved by you he can't help but chuckle as you leave to do other stuff. It's almost like a comfort to him, perhaps you did it when you finished his beast-yeast episode in means to comfort him, he appreciates it a lot.
