Their lore is still in the works tho, especially since Gingerbrave got even more of the importance in the latest chapters - I am excited to know what's gonna happen next!
This was a fun read and cool art...if ya want ideas I got one for you. It's based off the wolf art and the whole looking like he is about to bite pv.
Imagine shadow milk using his wolf form to tickle pv...chasing pv and pv thinks, after he tripped and/or gets cornered, it's the end for him...until he feels something on his belly that doesn't hurt but tickles! He laughs and opens his eyes to shadow milk's snout tickling his belly...maybe blowing raspberries on it at some point to make pv squeal.
When I read it - I HAD TO DRAW IT ASAP!!!!
+ I defo headcanon it now as one of their daily shenanigans-
Thank you for a such adorable idea, anon! ;;;0;;;
PV deserves lots of raspberries, kisses and mlem mlems for being so criminally cute!
AHA I finally came up with a question!! (It's tkl related =w=)
When/How did Pure Vanilla first learn Shadow Milk was ticklish? What was his reaction? What was Shadow Milk's first reaction? Had he been tickled at all before then, or was that his first experience with it? :3
(Sorry if it's a lot of stuff =w=")
Well, while as Fount he had known of tickling as concept but never got to experience it until many years later.
He had no knowledge of if he himself was ticklish but the cravings were there, sadly no one to answer that question nor fulfil his wishes...
And it took a long time to figure that out for Pure Vanilla too.
At first, when Shadow Milk was just settling into Pure Vanilla's home and life, he was unapproachable due to being almost always on high alert and any kind of contact, if unexpected would result in blue elf jolting and then death staring at him.
After some time tho, as Shadow Milk realized that he isn't in any danger and slowly gaining his humanity back starts to crave for comfort.
Of course, indirectly as possible as he still doesn't want to be seen as small and vulnerable.
He wouldn't show it much but Pure Vanilla would recognize when his elf companion has a need for a hug or cuddle and oblige to give them.
And on one of these days when they both were having a quality time cuddling, Pure Vanilla got an cuteness aggression that made him want to tickle currently sleepy Milly.
As soon as the healer slightly traced a hand along elf's side...a jolt was felt and a yelp was heard.
Pure Vanilla's eyes widened but right after that discovery the surprised look changed into the look of mischief and so he started to scribble the side of Milly which in turn made the elf giggle uncontrollably.
After that unexpected tease Shadow quickly caught both of Nilly's hands and...the tickly battle has begun.
Both of them were laughing silly about it afterwards. Shadow Milk finally understood how it feels...and he loved it.
He would deny it, of course but you can't lie while having your other eyes and your ears show the truth UwU
Hey, how do you feel about the new update with silent salt and white lily?
Well, this update has put me through a whirlpool of emotions. As you can see by the meme.
My first thought: The update was phenomenal with such a plot twist as well! Though it also made me have a lot of questions even if we got a lot of major answers to what happened in actuality in the moment of the beasts' entrapment.
!!SPOILERS AHEAD!!
First of all. Holy Shit.
I was right that Silent Salt had connections to Faerie Kingdom and it turned out to be real, by a lot.
I love his character and story (+ I am now also officially an ElderSalt shipper), the fact that he sacrificed himself just to save people from the corrupted virtues. Just...
Tho now I started to have even more questions:
1. What was happening to Beasts specifically at the time when their beliefs started to decline? I understand Silent Salt couldn't contact them but how he couldn't reach out? Was it that the rest were slowly losing their sanity or...is it someone else who made it so he couldn't reach out to them?
2. The Witches turned out to be not personally involved in the Beasts' Binding Ritual. We now know Silent Salt did it due to finding no hope in redeeming himself nor his friends but this fact for me now created a problem that I have to work around in my AU (I will have to wait for another update just to be sure not to screw it up but I am already working on it)...
3. (This one will be answered eventually but I can't sit still and not yap about it) What will happen now since confrontation turned out to be different for White Lily and what will happen with the others (ancients and beasts) as we have really interesting outcomes lately: Shadow Milk is plotting something, the St. Pastry Order just awakened an Avatar and The Ultimate Cookie plans still going on.
Final Thoughts: Love Silent Salt Cookie. He is now on the same pedestal as Shadow Milk Cookie in terms of favoritism and I can't wait to start creating the angst with both of them.
For now, stay tuned for the content and let's us all pray to the gambling gods so we get Silent Salt on our first 10 pulls-
I can't offer much right now since there's only little crumbs of official content for me to go out off but....
I can offer you my AU Silent Salt (with White Lily) :3
Wait was pv with white lily before or after they met shadow milk? If so...how did white lily feel about having a third wheel? How did they get her chill with the idea of making it a poly?
Well, anon. Be prepared for a lot of information as I was prepared and I am eager to explain it all~
Here's the timeline of their relationship status:
Pre-War
Pure Vanilla and White Lily were close since they met back in Academy. They had balanced, healthy relationship and there were thoughts of future and marriage.
But it wasn't for long as the first calamity - The Dark Magic War struck...
After The War
After huge losses, White Lily being a culprit of The Dark Magic War and Ancients disbandment shook the relationship of theirs significantly thou neither of them stopped loving each other.
Pure Vanilla, despite losing his entire kingdom, still loves White Lily and has hopes for her. Even if this situation deep down hurts him mentally he puts others before himself. Even when it comes to happiness...
White Lily on the other hand due to determination and her unstoppable curiosity along with the duty to Faerie Kingdom wants to make things right and prove herself, making her more and more distant and resulting in her leaving for long periods of time on expeditions to find ways to stop another upcoming calamity. But that absence is also a result of her feeling guilt for the damage she caused, especially for her lover.
At The Farmhouse
After 2 years after the War, Pure Vanilla and White Lily's love slowly crumbled.
Even living together in the house with the farm in the valley all to themselves and plenty of time - the huge stakes and responsibilities made it hard for relationship to stay afloat.
White Lily's constant and long absences made Pure Vanilla really depressed and experience huge survivor's guilt thou he tries his hardest not to show it, even to White Lily.
That constant state of stress wasn't for long thou as when he found The Wolf of Deceit and helped it...
A Wolf Steps Into A Picture
The wolf started to give Pure Vanilla another set of paranoia as it stalked him, getting closer day by day.
Until eventually stopping the supposed pursuit.
And what Pure Vanilla had encountered instead was none other than a really odd but really clumsy intruder elf - Shadow Milk.
Shadow Milk as we (but not Pure Vanilla) know is the said Wolf of Deceit. Taking upon a more humanoid form to be seen approachable.
But referring to both stories "The First Meeting" and "An Old Feeling" - there's more than meets the eye.
Shadow Milk, who stopped believing in love and compassion since he was dethroned and betrayed by his creators...these feelings started to come back when he met Pure Vanilla.
The warmth he felt when shepherd helped him heal his wounds, despite all the danger and fear claimed upon Shadow's name, the fact that despite everything he has done since the moment of his first failed attempt of taking the SoulJam with his masterful manipulations - Pure Vanilla still was kind and compassionate towards him.
Thanks to Nilly and his acts of kindness and understanding Shadow Milk slowly regains back his human self. No longer feral, possessing only hatred and hunger.
And along with getting back his old self, this is also a moment where he starts to develop actual feelings towards Pure Vanilla.
After months of living together, Pure Vanilla is happy as he finally has a companion that won't disappear and Shadow Milk is more open and glad to finally have a kind friend that understands him.
And so after these months is also where feelings started to develop into something more as Pure Vanilla's long state of loneliness made him fall for Shadow Milk rather fast. While Shadow Milk himself took a bit as he was untrusting of Nilly at first but eventually he also fell for him back.
But before they both could embrace it - White Lily comes back...
A Dilemma
When White Lily came back from another long expedition - the scene startled her quite a bit.
"Pure Vanilla let a beast into the house?! Is he being controlled? I should have stayed so he doesn't get hurt and now!..."
As her being a half-beast she could read through Shadow Milk's façade and it made things heated and difficult to resolve.
Pure Vanilla is in shambles, Shadow Milk is full of tension and distrust and White Lily in disbelief and feels even more guilt now for abandoning her partner for such a long time.
That night after most of the things settled, White Lily and Pure Vanilla had a serious talk, while Shadow Milk was at the side, listening to their chatter.
Relationship now became complicated but Shadow Milk decides to help them.
Healing
Shadow Milk is beast of deceit and when it came to lies - he was good at pointing them out.
So he was analyzing and testing waters with both Pure Vanilla and White Lily. Seeing what exactly both of were hiding as he could feel that despite such circumstances in their quirky relationship they still loved each other but something was stopping both them to speak out about their problems and fixing them.
After figuring them both out, he starts to have talks with both of them about it to eventually make them both then have a big discussion into trying to fix the relationship.
Mission Success
After such discussion and working together, slowly but surely - the relationship developed into polyamorous relationship:
White Lily and Shadow Milk finally stopped their rivalry after understanding each other as both of them went through similar pains and circumstances and started to share love for Pure Vanilla.
This situation also created a special bond as described in the PMV "Wolf House" between White Lily and Shadow Milk.
And now, they are still together, all three of them loving eachother, working through troubles and trying to find a way to stop another upcoming calamity from happening.
Add. A/N: Some of this information might change but not retconned entirely as even if the current canon is going way different than I expected - I will try to make it work!
