Art time!!!!!!!!
First the assets of the GingerBravelings
Food
And now the fun lore art
Tethers are essential when connecting a GingerBrave to the in between. Tethers are especially useful when a GingerBrave is in peril or requires assistance from the afterlife and beyond.
Typically, when you enter the in between you find a guide (most commonly Little Giant Cookie), to assist a GingerBrave into accessing either a moment of clarity, or a power from within that is often described as the "Bravery component".
The "Bravery Component" is often the source of power that levels a GingerBrave as "Brave" and hence, has more access to untouched powers. Durability, persistence, and selfless want are three ingredients that are commonly found in the soul/being of the cookie.
Every version of "GingerBrave", no matter what universe, will always have the "Bravery Component". Because they were baked with the ingredient to live.
One of my favorite artworks with the three. I don't have a solid design for Death (aka Olive Branch Cookie) yet, so please excuse the draft of their design.
But I wanted to include fate and millennial tree into this sort of sequel. I have the head Canon that millennial tree. Cookie is still kind of nearby the cookie Kingdom, just keeping an eye on it and making sure that it's thriving with its fullest life. And if you're familiar with Fate cookie, you know that she has a sort of soft spot for GingerBrave.
At last! I got all the cookies of Bravery together!
Each of these GingerBraves have impacted the way I write my version of GingerBrave (the one with the running blade prosthetics) and for the future installments of my fics.
So as a little momento to the artists to have aided my slow descent into cuteness aggression with this singular cookie, I decided to draw this picture (in addition to a few others below)
But first credits! Then more pictures!
From left to right
The little guy on top left belongs to @potatotato-26 for their Misplaced Virtues AU
The cookie on the left belongs to @fishymom-art for their Fix-A-Beast AU
The little creature of chaos in the middle belongs to @sunseed-fandump for their Bad Batch AU
The next one is my GingerBrave whom has the human name Ginger
And finally the last human-esque cookie belongs to @princessblue135 with their amazing art of GB being in a polycule with the Ultimate Cookie, Wizard Cookie, and Strawberry Cookie
Onto the art
First individual photos of the brave boys in 4k
And now them if they ranked how old they all are in "cookie years"
(if the words are blurry: left to right
The youngest (just happy to have friends)
The second youngest (the epitome of "a ray of sunshine")
The "middle" (the one that causes the most chaos)
The second oldest (makes sure no one gets kidnapped by a certain cookie)
The oldest (who doesn't know how he got here but hey, a new adventure!)
As for how they all would meet ....
Blame Bravery Hill.
Somehow, all five wander into the oven on Bravery Hill and wind up meeting one another and start to share how their worlds are. FaB! GB talks about his world with the Beasts reformed, Misplaced Virtues! GB talks about how White Lily and Truthless Recluse recently reunited.
BB! GB talks about his abilities to swap out body parts, GB with the polycule talks about reforming the Ultimate Cookie, and Ginger talks about his moose, Choco Drop.
Collectively, this could be a one time thing where the universes collided for a hour or two for the different aus to interact but it was a fun adventure for the five of them. Maybe they share ideas or goals they have for their worlds or compare cookies like PV to Truthless Recluse, or Shadow Milk to "Uncle Blue"
I would absolutely LOVE to try and write a little fic of these guys. That's if the artists (you guys) are willing and open to me writing an fic for them!
All of these versions of GB have really gotten me to think out my plan for my version of GB and how I can use him for my ongoing series (and potentially future series with him). Thank you guys for being awesome and giving me more ideas than my hads could type! /Pos
(edit: fixed up Misplaced Virtues! GB since there was an official reference for him!)
makes your ultimate cookie (and wizard cookie) a weird little freak
messes around with your ultimate cookie
okay so,
we have two avenues we can go down
all cookies have bones except for brave cookies, so dark enchantress is just doing some regular graverobbing, or only brave cookies have bones, so dark enchantress is hunting down the resting places of these heroic figures and still graverobbing but sacrilegious and tuc is a little closer in composition to gingerbrave than the average cookie
either way, dark enchantress was frankenstein-ing it up making the ultimate cookie
bonus
hey what are you doing with that skeleton wizard cookie?
Love seeing Wizard and Strawberry absolutely wreck Shadow Milk Cookie's shite, but could we see the trio acting like a poly-throuple? I'm dying to see their interactions with one another and what their relationship as a polygamous trouble would look like
Totally not looking for inspo to write another GB fic
(ps extra points if the Ultimate Cookie sneaks themselves up on the trip when they aren't looking XD)
I do have some comics I'm working on! I just needed to finish that one and then the following asks, but now I'm back on track!
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
I got the fic on time!! Yipeeeeee! *collapses*
jk, jk- art timeee! (sadly, I could only do three drawings (two drawings were using a reference from Pinterest)) but I hope to write more about the five of these guys in the future (if time permits it)
I thought this would be perfect for the three "younger" cookies. They be causing mischief with BB! GingerBrave is the reason for the chaos
Writing the interactions of GingerBrave and BB! GingerBrave was fun! I don't know why their dynamic scratched a part of my brain, but it made me giggle to imagine a cookie leaning down and grabbing a cookie version of himself- especially if the one he picked up is known for biting
White-haired boys! FaB!GingerBrave was a blast to draw as usual!
21,000 words and now I can finally knock out and stress about finals and uni graduation... yayyyyyyyyy
And I wanted to say thank you to the artists for allowing me to write a silly fanfic about their versions of GignerBrave- I hope I did them some justice!
