very interesting results so far 👀

About a year ago, I ran a poll out of curiosity about which neo was everyone’s favorite! It was cool to see what people picked, and since its been a year, I’d love to see if anything’s changed 👀

I have my ideas but I’d still love to see if I’m right/wrong!

hello!!!! i love this au and your art and FINALLY got a relatively good question to ask

based of of the last question answered (at the time of sending this), does Lily even care about keeping Saint safe from the other neos? Or would she be on the side of taking him down if the others decided to initiate something against him?

Obviously she’s focused on her own works and keeping herself out of his…purification situation.

But if Dragonberry and Celestial were to actually attempt something, would she be one to willingly and directly interfere?

also have a good day :))

Ty!! These are good questions!

I think I’ll keep the answer up to interpretation for now. What do you think she’d do? 👀

drillburst has been on my mind more lately and I think he totally deserves my 2025 art skills. overlord too. I actually drew him a few days ago for fun and I was surprised how much I still got the hang of robots

also I’m very proud of his story and would love to revisit it, I’ve barely scratched the surface of his mercenary days

Hey @cuppajj happy birthday :> have some boys

Including a speedpaint kinda

Is there any info we can get about Celestial Cheese's chronicler? Any random thoughts floating through your head, or confirmation they're a cookie (or a cheesebird or smth)?

Sure! I’ve been sitting on a post about them for a little bit, but I can confirm right now they’re another concept cookie like Feather and the gang. Specifically this one, Chocolate Truffle Cookie! I’m yet to decide if the name will change though

I’ll get more into detail once I properly draw them, but they serve as Cheese’s record keeper. I like to think all information on the Golden City is stored/accessed via the truffle ball they carry

A few questions about Cheese and Berry[the first one is about all the Neos— Saint excluded]. (The last one a hypothetical situation that has been tickling my brain for a while). I hope you decide to answer this.

So I realize that Dragonberry and Celestial Cheese both agree on the prospect of Saint Vanilla being a huge threat to both of their empires.

My first question: You said that all of the Neobeasts have methods to ward Saint Vanilla off. What are these methods?

Second: Is Celestial Cheese actually present during Neo meetings? Or is it just one of her avatars in her stead?

Third question/hypotherical scenario: Have Dragonberry and Celestial Cheese ever considered teaming up to assassinate Saint Vanilla? If so, how would they go about this? Has there ever been a close call? (Saint almost falling for the trap, but surviving)

Would Saint confront them? Would he retaliate?

I’ve said it a while ago, but it’s essentially getting Saint to prioritize other things. Lily successfully convinced him to purify her last, Cacao removes physically removes him from his kingdom outright, while Dragonberry and Celestial Cheese quietly try to keep Saint’s interests in his personal quests (eg. reuniting with Crepe or researching fruitless ways of ascension) long enough to hopefully come up with something. The general consensus among all neos with Saint is that he’ll oppose them eventually, so it’s a matter of time and planning… whatever it might look like.

It’s hard to tell at times if Celestial Cheese is present or another one of her avatars given manifest. The conqueror certainly has every reason to be elsewhere instead of engaging with the others, but at the same time, her physical presence at meetings is so convincing that perhaps she truly is there in the flesh. How many meetings has she attended herself, and how many have been her avatar? No one really knows… well, Saint likely does, but he’s never thought to share.

…I think they’ve considered it as a worst case option. As I said in the first point, everyone knows that Saint’s goal to purify earthbread opposes all of their ambitions. But the problem is that both Cheese and Berry are hesitant to act, believe it or not. First and foremost, they still share some fondness for Vanilla, even if he is who he is now. He’s their antagonist, but he’s also a long time friend. Second, they’ve likely seen how hard it truly is to take Saint down—after all, assassinations aren’t unfamiliar to him—so they know simple acts like those won’t do much. It seems like the waiting game is the best option for now, but they’re also aware that the more powerful the beast of penance becomes, the less time they will have to devise a plan. Perhaps Lily would have some idea… but if she’s aware of the issue, which she likely is, she’s certainly not doing much to help right now.

It was never Pure Vanilla's wish for Strawberry Crepe to live in fear. More than anything, he wanted them to experience the childhood they lost all those eons ago, and he tried to curate their life in the Vanilla Kingdom to be the best he could offer.

While Crepe would toil in their workshop or hover around Espresso and Black Raisin on some days, they'd find themself with the ancient king on others. They and Pure Vanilla would tend to flora in the garden, read books in the library, care for the sheep, and end the day under the stars. Pure Vanilla would listen as they babbled about their wafflebot blueprints, and in turn, Crepe would listen to Pure Vanilla as he read to them at bedtime.

It was certainly different for Crepe. At first, it was boring and pointless to them. Over time however, the tough shell they'd made for themself gradually softened, even though they didn't know it. Complaints and whines about hugging turned into sheepish pouts and clingy arms. Brash rejections of empathy became quiet, tender admissions. Apathy turned into secretive care and concern; and those feelings of concern grew appropriate when the Vanillian air began to shift.

The prodigy felt that something was going on with Pure Vanilla. His smiles were weaker some days than others, there was melancholy hidden in his loving gaze, and he would confide in Raisin when they were alone. But when Crepe wanted to prod into the issue, they were always reassured that everything would be alright. Even if times were admittedly tough, the last thing Pure Vanilla and the others wanted was to burden a child with the despairs of a grown up.
