Woagh who are these legally distinct cookies

Anyways. Pure Vanilla and Cattail disguises for when they go out on public dates, because otherwise pv would get swarmed.

hashtag my shitty meme i spent too long on cause i resketched pure vanilla 3 times <3

anyways I try to avoid giving canon heights to characters so the height difference is yes (he's short af to me) and the age difference is yes because he doesn't have a canon age but Cattail is at LEAST 200 years older than him. Probably more tbh

Also neither of them squish bugs i forgot to change it to "moves bugs outside".

No pressure if you don't want to but would you be willing to share a few things about your PureTail selfship?

Like how did they meet? What kind of dates do they go on together? Any details you want to talk about but haven't had the chance to yet

Share as much or as little as you'd like

I actually plan on trying to write a fic of how they meet so we'll skip that part but !!! I can give you the assorted tidbits :)

Cattail and Pv's dates are often lowkey and quiet; stuff like walking around the garden or spending quiet time together. Pure Vanilla is busy with his duties as king and Cattail spends most of its time patrolling the kingdom and castle, so they don't have a whole lot of time or energy to spend on extravagant dates or outings. The most common "date" is Cattail curled around Pure Vanilla to nap while he reads.

Cattail and Pure Vanilla are poly and have a semi open relationship. They've had an assortment of partners in the past that, unfortunately, have since passed due to old age (but!! they passed happily in their lovers arms). Any jealousy they have is handed maturely and there is a MASSIVE break between each partner after their deaths. Half of the Vanilla Kingdom's garden is dedicated to flowers that remind the two of their late partners. As for any partner who is also immortal, that's what healthy communication is for 👍.

Due to Cattail's nature as a yokai and trickster spirit Pure Vanilla has actually gotten extremely good at seeing through tricks and illusions. This makes the Spire way funnier because Pure Vanilla goes through his torment nexus and embraces deceit far easier than Shadow Milk could've expected, resulting in Truthless Recluse playing Shmilk for even more of a fool than in canon.

Nobody in the Spire knew about Pure Vanilla's marriage; this is due to the fact that Pv and Cattail prefer to keep their actual relationship on the down low. Very few cookies are aware of their marriage until after the events in beast yeast.

Cattail regularly utilizes manipulative tactics to keep Pure Vanilla healthy, this includes a "well if you aren't going to eat I guess I'll skip dinner too" method to keep him well fed. He is well aware of the fact it's being manipulative and deceitful, but still gives in regardless. Pure Vanilla also gets more sleep because Cattail will pin him under its weight to take naps with it.

Pure Vanilla gets cuteness aggression around Cattail sometimes, primarily when he finds it napping with the cream sheep. Despite it being a massive creature fully capable of crumbling hundreds its still a cat in a way.

Neither of them really use pet names for each other publicly, but in private Cattail calls him "puppy" or "my orchid" (puppy because he lights up like a cakehound when he sees it and my orchid because he smells like vanilla orchids) and Pure Vanilla calls it the classic stuff like "my dear" or "my love", though if he's feeling mischievous or playful he'll call it "kitty"
