Lily and the (Anti)Heroes!

This au has me in a chokehold im

Overthrown AU posts r still coming just not at this moment, IM SO SORRY- I do have a few things planned tho dw

Anyways, new headshots of the five!!! I made everyone look kinda more "regal" or "imposing" compared to White Lily who hasn't changed except for her eyes,, think of it as a side effect of her current predicament atm :000 (weakened)

(for fury of the 4 heroes au)

Beasts, I have something to warn you about. The other ancients you faced off against are now more ruthless so I suggest you tread carefully. Don't believe me? *hands them pictures of the 4 anti hero ancients*

"You're too kind of a soul to warn the likes of US. But we already know. A little birdie told each of us."

A bit of an author's note: I imagine by this point, the Beasts already know about what happened with the Ancients through word of mouth! SMC would've heard from Black Sapphire, and Burning Spice by his army, and so on and so forth-

Silent Salt, though... he stays watching in the shadows. :00000

Thought I'd try some mixed reactions with the beasts :P

ALSO, wow a drawing of the beasts fully intact in my blog??? lowkey got used to their worn out/downed forms from Overthrown AU haha help-

Fury of Four Heroes AU

I know that it hasn't been fully 2 or 3 days or hell even 1 week but... the majority has spoken since day one of the poll,,

The show will go on, I'll be developing Fury of Four Heroes or the Anti-hero Ancients AU :DD !!!

Tysm for everyone who voted!! To anyone who encounters the poll after this post, u may still vote, but I'll already be posting about FoFH along with Overthrown AU hehe

So as a smol celebration, here's the updated character sheets, another WLC form which I'll be making a separate post for her info sometime soon!!!

Here are the antihero!ancients:

Divine Vanilla Cookie: Absolute Truth

Flaming Berry Cookie: Fervent Passion

Radiant Cheese Cookie: Overflowing Abundance

Abyssal Cacao Cookie: Sharpened Resolution

===================

Updated AU gist:

Four of the Ancient Heroes have unleashed the true potential of their soul jam's powers following the aftermath of their respective battles with the Beasts; not wishing to repeat what had transpired during the Dark Flour war, the losses and devastation they and their kingdoms felt.

There was fury born from grief that became too heavy for their already broken hearts to handle. Fury that was ignited from built-up resentment pushed up from prodded wounds by their other halves. Their soul jams resonated with their rage. Never again would they allow any of their cookies to be hurt once more. They would now be the strongest pillars their kingdoms could have from the clutches of the Beasts.

The prodigal White Lily Cookie returns to the living land of Earthbread to pick up the pieces and keep her dear friends from falling into villainy - a risk she dreaded (may the Witches bless their noble hearts). Meanwhile, she works hard to keep her other self, Dark Enchantress Cookie's looming shadow at bay as penitence - for her friends and the cookie world.

Without her staff and the power of the Light of Freedom, she decides to lay low as a humble traveler, one they call "Moonflower Bard," for now.

She had to find a way to quell her friends' vengeful anger, somehow.

--------------------

I'm really excited to expound on this au, hehe, i already did some work and would love to share them soon :DD

im ngl, writing ruthless antiheroic versions of characters is so fun i-

Flaming Berry Cookie - Fervent Passion

The wrath of Passion. When does passion begin to burn as hot as rage? There were many a sources it could've been ignited from. Be it the bouts of self doubt, regret, but there was also sloth and the truth of the world. And by extension, her very purpose.

The demon almost pulled the Hollyberrian Queen into a cage furbished in gold and the sweetest of whispers. And she was almost tempted into giving it all up. A moment of rest and recuperation... The thought sounded attractive to the weary monarch. But this dreamy veneer was shattered when she had laid eyes onto her friends, her family who were trapped in jars full of jam. Hollyberry Cookie realized just how fast the world truly spun if she let go even a sliver of passion.

Now, as the draconic warrior Flaming Berry Cookie, she has taken fate into her own hands and crushed it. Clad in velvet armor, she moves like a ferocious dragon that tear down any threat with razor sharp teeth and claws drenched in jam. But she protects the cookies she so loved with her trusty shield and signature warm and jolly demeanor all the same.

The Moonflower Bard would strum her silver lyre, imagining herself in the grand halls of the Queen Mother's palace as a musician who would play her songs to soothe her burning spirit, and perhaps share a drink with her once more.

(i...... hope this description was good, its a little hard to put Flaming Berry's story into words so im hoping to make up for this in future posts instead help but her arc is fun too i swear)

Abyssal Cacao Cookie - Sharpened Resolution

The wrath of Resolution. The Dark Cacao King reached his turning point when he sought a deal with the creatures of the Licorice Sea, intending to make them his ally - whatever it takes to become stronger.

The bitter cold enveloping the Cacaoian lands was just as harsher as Abyssal Cacao Cookie's rule. There came the relentless capture and execution of confirmed traitors from forces of Dark Enchantress Cookie and the Master of Apathy in the kingdom. From then on, it marked the beginning of a reign of Resolution sharpened like the coldest of blades.

Abyssal Cacao Cookie did away with the King who let burdens crush his dough and became the rightful protector of his denizens.

Oftentimes, the Moonflower Bard wondered: Could the warmth of her old friend still be found somewhere in the raging, murky hailstorm?

Posting refs of fofhau ancients in between asks now!! This description was made on a whim tho ill prob wanna revise this if I haev to sometime 😭

"We meet again, my friends. I kept my word."

Just.... gonna post this.... rendered piece that was originally jsut going to be a doodle- I got way too inspired bc of a song I kept playing on loop---

I referenced a screenshot for the composition haha-

I missed drawing cookies ngl and them in this new style is actually so cool- anywaysm this is supposed to be the moment where Divine Vanilla reunites with the other antiheroes - he's still the last one to turn among his friends.

He went MIA for weeks? Months? He couldn't tell. Time did not exist in the rift he had fallen into.

Some FOFHAU lore :3

[canned-semoruu]

Radiant Cheese Cookie - Overflowing Abundance

The wrath of Abundance. When the almighty Golden Goddess lost her kingdom of treasures - cookies, relics, and glory, she swore to build a much greater legacy anew. But the moment she faced the Bringer of Destruction, her drive was tested and almost reduced it to mere embers.

However, there came a day when the bird decided to transform into an fiery eagle. One that would be a goddess, a protectress, and a mother to all her subjects. A cookie that would restore her kingdom back to its former greatness. And so, she did in a surge of her power that regrew mighty pyramids and winding roads on the desert sands.

But she would keep her citizens inside a virtual realm behind maximum security; for their utmost safety. Radiant Cheese Cookie made sure of that through the establishment of specific laws and highly trained guards and intelligent constructs. And those who dared to intrude in on her kingdom would meet the goddess's rage.

Anything for her precious treasures and the daughter she adored the most: Rich Cheese Cookie.

The Moonflower Bard would watch from a far distance with longing in her eyes. She wondered if the goddess still kept a chance for forgiveness of an old friend amidst her wrath.

(hoowee..... i hope y'all are fine with these long lore descriptions, tumblr wont let me put a read more line without ruining the format 💔)

(also... her 2nd form has her eyes turn into glowing, melting gold! just a tidbit :P)

Some Divine Vanilla artworks i got done showcasing both his different sides based on his soul jam virtue (Absolute Truth) :DD

Truth as a Merciful Being

His [Mercy] form is pretty much his default look. His healing powers are more prominent here, and it's where his kind nature shines. He just acts the same as he does as canon PV, he's sweet and very fatherly in demeanor! He hides his eyes with a blindfold, conscious that he would scare or intimidate his friends/subjects. This form represents the Mercy of Truth. A gentle shepherd tending to his flock.

Harshness of Truth

Meanwhile, his [Cruelty] form puts more of his offensive magic up in the front. He's more stern here, not to the point of being cold, but he's certainly more authoritative/intimidating and won't take any nonsense. Divine Vanilla only goes into this form when absolutely necessary, be it any attacks/battles or court appearances! He has his blindfold off and the star on his forehead opens into a magical third eye which enhances his psychic attacks. This side of Divine Vanilla is a shepherd who has traded his hook for a blade to protect his dearest flock.

angelic PV YAHAHAH LEZGO idk this kind of concept for him as an antihero just fits-

antihero!Vanilla is so fun to write yall, alongside antihero!Cacao ngl i have so much in store for him and Dark Choco-
