OUGHGHGHGH I NEED CROISSANT X SHADOW MILK. ID ONT CARE IF ITS ROMANTIC OR PLATONIC OR FAMILIAL OR LIKE SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY I SAW THEM INTERACT FOR 2 SECONDS AND I NEED MORE OF IT. I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED THAT. BUT I WANT MORE OF THEM TOEGTHER SOOOOO BAD OH MYG OD????? HELLO???? OUGHG THE POTENTIAL HERE. I DONT CARE ABOUT CROISSANT "FIXING" HIM THIS ISNT ABOUT THAT THIS IS ABOUT THEM BEING A DUO AND ME BEING SELF INDULGENT
if they were in a situation where they werent enemies i feel like theyd genuinely get along!!!!!! and be friends!!!!!! now dont get me wrong i have MMMMMANY feelings on how involved shadow milk is in timekeeper's (and croissant's) story in kingdom and i do think her EXTREMELY ANTICIPATED appearance should be a little more about her and not shadow milk cookie but also i dont hate where they're going with this!!!
im so so so excited for croissant and despite my feelings towards shadow milks (in my opinion) over-involvement, i LOVEEEEE shadow milk and croissant as a duo
SIDE NOTE. SYSTEM SHADOW MILK CANON?? REAL???? THE SHIT WITH THE OTHER BEAST COOKIES CLEARLY INFLUENCING HIM AND "SPEAKING" ON THEIR OWN ??? HELLO???? HELLO???????
alright gang lets get into what i made this blog for in the first place
TIMEKEEPER X BLUEBERRY PIE COOKIE!!!!!
theyre two of my favs so. i thought up a little AU (yes its toxic yuri bc idk i wanted that this is self indulgent)
timekeeper encouraging blueberry to use the forbidden powers .... see what could be achieved, show her countless futures-- and how many of them are lonely, endless silent nights waiting for the moonlight and wizards that never come back for her
maybe its even because of who she is, "blueberry pie" has never fit in with the mystic stars and moon, nothing of the power or knowledge the wizards worked for
timekeeper shows her countless futures, and with timekeeper's encouragement eventually she reads everything in the restricted section, then going on to try to attain the power of the stars for herself, during this is when she slowly at first then, experiment after experiment, she crystalizes into Star Sapphire Cookie
of course, timekeeper is there for her, helping her to not shatter and die under the strain of everything she's done and learned. she realizes she is exactly what she wanted now: a cookie based in the stars, but it came at such a cost even more, she realizes that despite the small amount of stardust in her dough now, she's a gemstone which can only be from earthbread and she got both infinitely closer and further from what she wanted
she returns to the archives from. wherever she went. and its in disarray from her unleashing the restricted section she somewhat cleans it up, but makes the archives and city of wizards even more inaccessible from the outside, and kind of "takes over" the city but she doesn't do much she just stays in the archives, trying to cope with all the knowledge and trying to find a way to make herself really one with the stars (in a way, its like dark enchantress but a lot less people die)
so blueberry pie cookie becomes star sapphire cookie!!
her design is based off the blueberry "drops" crystalizing and becoming star sapphires (sapphires with the asterism phenomena)
she'd have time-based accessories because influence from timekeeper, some gold probably as well as a lot of gold lines in her blue outfit (which are meant to represent rutile silk inclusions that can be found in sapphires)
she's not as strictly neat as before but still retains a lot of grace and precision (every inclusion has to align perfectly to create the asterism effect so like. that concept is part of it) she's not perfectly symmetrical though
elements i'm keeping from her canon design: the "drop" shapes, her tome (maybe now on her waist? maybe more than one??), she still wears a dress, "pie" like plait, and her glasses
maybe i'd add a six point star halo behind her?? idk yet
but YEAH this is my self indulgent yuri slop and i love it
