HI I DONT DO DIGITAL A WHOLE LOT BUT LOOK WHAT I PULLED PUT OF MY ASS

shadow milk said a lot of questionable things during the 8th chapter

🧵🪡🤡

he wants some too

oh this ABSLOUTLY happened

Guys this is canon this happened trust me 🙏🙏

your regularly scheduled yaoi is proposed by my wife. i love her

ALSO i have a theory under the cut abt silent salt and my wife (when shes evil)

ok so dark enchantress cookie is a smart lady with informants all over the place. so she 100% knows everyone has been visited by their beastly pair

i cant imagine her waiting for silent salt (or imagine him going after her either hah) so this is what i think will play out >:3

dark enchantress will go searching beast yeast with her whole evil little crew. and probably her monsters that she stormed the crém republic with.

(i mean, salty is a beast she probably won't hold her punches, all things considered)

she will probably meet him in some barren land idk. but more importantly i think she will ask for him to join her!!!

she might say how she dosent need her soul jam but she needs everyones soul jam. maybe asking her beast to help colect them all for the price of hers once they over throw the witches.

(i cant imagine they actualy do that but its her plan so yk yk)

i cant imagine her actually giving up her soul jam but it might be a belivable lie for salty.

OK BUILDING OFF THIS I HAVE MORE IDEAS RAHH

so every beast has been called put by their ancient counterpart. (except holly so far but i think they might both sob abt having bad coping issues lol)

so what if silent salt is ignoring enchantress while she asks them to join team evil. maybe they even go thru the torture labrinth with salty having enchantress to self refelct making HER the one breakdown

a little switcherooo

i mean, the anchients are chill, but Lily isn't rn, so idk send her to brain explosion jail

IDK AAH

theory crafting is fun tho :3 do you guys have any guess what will happen in the liy patch because i CANT WAIT its going to be so cool i just know it

BEAST-YEAST EPISODE 8 SPOILERS

...okay so we can all agree that shadow milk has feelings for pure vanilla right?

i thought it was obvious since episode 7 that shadow milk doesn't hate pure vanilla. if he did and only cared about the soul jam, he would have killed pure vanilla or caused his death in some way. no, instead, he kept him to play around with him, and offered him a home in the spire, which is literally said to be unusual by candy apple and black sapphire (the two characters who are technically closest to him) so pure vanilla is a special case.

he's also notably happier interacting with pure vanilla than he is the other deceitful trio (based on the story & kingdom interactions)

to the point where this update gave us this very ugly but very elated sprite from shadow milk used exclusively when he's with pure vanilla

because apparently shadow milk has been bored all the time without pure vanilla!! he's been bored so much that black sapphire can TELL when he's bored, and keep in mind, shadow milk is someone who masks his true emotions ALL THE TIME

of course, shadow milk's goal was to watch pure vanilla fall to deceit—but that's very clearly rooted in his desire to finally have someone who understands him.

the moment pure vanilla accepts deceit, and vows to spend eternity with shadow milk, shadow milk is immediately excited and happy, and they merge souls. shadow milk accepts pure vanilla as a part of him just like how he wanted pure vanilla to accept him.

(note that he says "us" and not "me". he fully intends to work with pv as partners lol)

and when pure vanilla finally awakens and reveals it was all a trick, shadow milk is CRUSHED. he calls pure vanilla a traitor, because he thought pure vanilla would actually join his side.

all this reads like he really, really wanted pure vanilla on his side. again, all of the toying with him to make him fall to deceit, and telling pure vanilla he understands, he's been there, so it's time for pure vanilla to accept his fate.

but, of course shadow milk is an extremely contradictory person; even though he wanted pure vanilla to understand him, he didn't ACTUALLY want pure vanilla to understand him. because when pure vanilla feels his loneliness and calls him out on it, shadow milk can't admit it, to himself or to pure vanilla. he can't admit that he longs for pure vanilla's company.

and pure vanilla longs for his company too! he accepts shadow milk and his deceit, and wants shadow milk to accept him too. it's a complete reversal of what shadow milk wanted to happen.

pure vanilla stretches his hand out to shadow milk, a peace offering, an offer for them to develop a relationship other than that of enemies.

and shadow milk HESITATES.

HE FUCKING HESITATES. i can't understate how crazy it is that shadow milk, for a split second, could have actually considered pure vanilla's proposal. the guy that has been shown to be nothing but ruthless and without morals Hesitates when pure vanilla asks to be his friend.

BECAUSE HE FUCKING WANTS TO BE PURE VANILLA'S FRIEND

HE WANTS HIS COMPANY!!! HE WANTS TO PLAY GAMES WITH HIM!!! HE WANTS TO BE BY PURE VANILLA'S SIDE SO BADLY

BUT HE CAN'T EMBRACE TRUTH THE WAY PURE VANILLA EMBRACES DECEIT. HE CAN'T STOP LYING TO HIMSELF AND EVERYONE AROUND HIM THAT HE DOESN'T WANT THIS AND THAT HE'S NOT LONELY, THAT HE HAS EVERYTHING HE EVER WANTED, THAT HE'S HAPPY.

HE'S NOT HAPPY!!!!!

HE'S NOT HAPPY WITHOUT PURE VANILLA BY HIS SIDE AND HE'S JUST NOW REALIZING IT!!!! AND NOW HE HAS TO PUSH HIM AWAY INSTEAD OF BEING HONEST!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i don't like this game Tbh

DEVIOUS FIRE SPIRIT!? do you bring gifts of art below the cut :0 ??

omg you do :0 thank you devious fire spirit

The many Christianity references and symbolisms from Shadow Milk and Pure Vanilla Cookie.

Pure Vanilla Cookie walking on water milk. (Look at the tower on the left. That's so deep...)

In Shadow Milk Cookie's pre-corruption form, his hair silhouette looks like a nun's veil. His pose is also similar to how Pure Vanilla Cookie stands. Eyes closed, with his staff eye open.

But the present Shadow Milk has lost this silhouette, now donning a harlequin costume.

Once the Fount of Knowledge(outfit: nun-like), then becoming a Master of Deceit(outfit: harlequin- represents devil/demon) that makes him a fallen angel.

Pure Vanilla Cookie's role is Jesus Crhist, while Shadow Milk Cookie's role is Lucifer.

The chapter in episode "The Fall" where Pure Vanilla Cookie falls off the tower into the depths, which closely represents a falling of an angel into a demon. (This is what SMilk means when PV will "become him.") And from what Fortune Teller Cookie said where "The future of the past and present coexist." Pure Vanilla becomes Truthless Recluse, then went back in time to help at first, then fight Gingerbrave and his friends.

Awakened Pure Vanilla Cookie's outfit looks a whole lot more similar to priest, with the stole around his shoulders, as well as his Soul Jam holder now looks more like a cross.

All resemblance of any eyes are now closed/missing (On the staff, his hat, and under his robes.) meaning the the Truth is what you believe in. (That's how Christianity, or religion in general, work.)

"A blade's edge is what separates Truth from Deciet." makes me remember of Judgement of Solomon from the bible.

(Shadow Milk and Pure Vanilla's lore are heavily inspired by Christianity... It's so good.) <- Catholic

when ur so chronic for toxic cookie yaoi u bust out a a whole animatic for them in a week 😖😖

Btw ty to all those who liked, reblogged or commented on the wip UR ALL ACTUALLY THE BEST TYSMMMMM

one of the best fics i've ever read, one that had me addicted to my phone and crying, wasn't even prose. it was a huge, casual, bullet-pointed outline with every detail of an au that the author never got around to writing in full. and it was amazing.

let this be a message to all you who want to write but can't do it "normally": write it! someone out there will eat it up. whether that be poetry, tiny drabbles, or bullet pointed list: your work is always worth it. your art (yes, art!) will alway deserve to have its moment in the spotlight. why? because you made it. even if it wasn't done in a traditional matter, it came from your brain and your creativity and that is amazing.
