Ooc: announcing breaktime and the next plotline
break time will last a few irl days but won't start until sometime tomorrow.
breaktime is going to be EXTREMELY strict this time as this is the second last breaktime. This means NO PLOTS. No creating storylines with the characters.
An example of a storyline is "placing the character(s) into a situation or interaction they are bound to for more than a certain number of asks" (example, asking pv to knit with another character/you. Then continuing the knitting plotline for like 10 asks. That's a plotline and it's one that may or not even be about the character.)
(another example, getting vanilla extract to talk to fount about his blacking out. That's a plotline. You're creating storylines. Esspiecally one that wasn't meant to happen yet)
why is breaktime strict and wdym second last? You might wonder (if anyone even actually cares 😒) we're in the endgame now! The Aus main story is almost over 😔🥀
Take break time to talk to the characters, check up on them, see where they stand. Including black sapphire, candy apple, dreamweaver cookie, the twins, soleil cookie, black raisin etc.
foreshadowed via art but the next plot is backstories ✨ interactive ones.
You get to interact with the main 4 + deceit sibs during parts of their pasts.
Cluse was a difficult one, I could've chose his time as king pure vanilla cookie, post losing his kids or his childhood. I chose his childhood. I got plans for time as king pure vanilla cookie. Very evil plans 😈
clusey will have STRICT rules on how to interact with kid him. As most should know my au truthless recluse or known as vanilla extract cookie is transgender. He holds no ill thoughts towards his childhood self/prior gender self and sees them as a sibling he has to be a thing to admire for. He wants young him to be proud of who he became. Y'know be his own beacon of hope.
however despite this, vanilla extract may call his prior self by their "correct" pronouns but you as the interacter cannot.
Young cluse will EXCLUSIVELY be called by they/them and gender neutral terms must be used. (Kid, child, kiddo etc). The reason for this is while little cluse is well.. not a guy, we know they become one. Little cluse is also unaware of their future as a man. Calling them a boy would confuse them.
you can ask little cluse their opinions on a supposed future as a man though 🤷 that's allowed. Like "how would you feel if you were a guy when you grew up"
sages will be his time as the fount of knowledge prior to the vanilla kingdom. I feel like this could result in funny questions related to what we now know of sage. Sage however will have to be called "fount", "king" or "fount of knowledge". I was gonna do this for smilk but him and smilk have the exact same backstory.
Fount however will have into and lore on the au beast cookies, in this au, fount was the third beast cookie to corrupt. Spice, sugar, milk then flour and lastly salt.
"fount what would you do if you were (particular canon event) (those who know)" would be funny 😭
Pure vanilla is taken before au canon, specifically when shadow milk first moved to the vanilla kingdom. While it's not talked about on the blog much, it is addressed in the fic for this au, stuck together. pv only had eyes in his hair at this point. No dragon bits, not even an angel. Shadow milk was still a asshole, had magic and was chaotic. No sage yet, no cluse. Just vanilly, raisy and milky the chaotic.
then lastly shadow milk and the deceit kiddos, is when shadow milk had gotten out of the tree and started developing these weird issues with his head. He thought it was a vitamin D deficiency. Afterall he was stuck in a dark tree for many years.
