OKAY OKAY LISTEN UP…….

before you understand stardust let me give you context of the City of Wizards:

The Wizards are these super brainy humans who lived in the legendary City of Wizards—think of them as star-obsessed cosmic scientists who were ALL about astronomy and unlocking the secrets of the universe. But here’s the twist: these Wizards weren’t just any bakers. They baked Cookies like magical experiments—Moonlight Cookie, Blueberry Pie Cookie, and Stardust Cookie were their creations! But they DID NOT eat them like snacks. Nope (that would be really traumatizing)- These Cookies were tools and companions designed for cosmic research, each crafted for super specific purposes, aiming for nothing less than perfect celestial wisdom and flawless starry knowledge. Talk about baked with a purpose! Then, one day... poof! The Wizards mysteriously vanished, leaving their city—and their cookie-children—to wonder what happened. But their legacy? Oh, it’s alive! There is a Wizard Cookie takes after them hardcore, rocking their style and keeping their mystique alive.

okay now onto my depressed little star boy </33

bro is literally the emotional echo of a depressed space goth who got abandoned by the people who made him and then became a ✨celestial mess✨. Like—imagine if your reflection had feelings, but you didn’t even know what those feelings were. That’s him.

He’s the sad, whispery shadow of Stardust Cookie (aka the “oh no he’s hot” cosmic prince of angst himself), and he lives in the dark dusty corners of the City of Wizards, basically vibing in the shadows like 🥀

And get this: he doesn’t even know why he exists. Stardust doesn’t know. The Wizards don’t know. No one knows. It’s like if your trauma accidentally made a person and they’re just like, "Hey guys what am I doing here?" 😭😭😭

like that powerpuff girls scene: bubbles: professor made us in the laboratory by accident! professor: well, what can i say? stardust cookie: dw professor, I am an accident too.

he’s not even real-real he’s just a MEMORY or a leftover EMOTION of Stardust Cookie and that just HURTS OK 😭

Sometimes he wakes up—but only when someone visits. Like what??? He was literally an NPC waiting in the shadows until the others walk in and now he’s like “huh? feelings?” 💔 SHADOW OF A STAR IS LITERALLY… IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN IT BUT HE’S THE FEELING YOU GET WHEN YOU WAKE UP SAD FROM A DREAM YOU CAN’T REMEMBER 😭😭 like he’s just There… existing in the corners of a broken city, looking like he’s made of regret and forgotten lullabies. AND HE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW WHY… LIKE HE’S JUST A REFLECTION OF A SAD LITTLE STAR BOY WHO DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO BE HELD 😭🫂

He doesn’t know where he came from, he doesn’t know who he is, but he does get echoes. Sometimes he hears whispers from the stars. Like... cosmic ghost gossip. And sometimes? He hears Moonlight Cookie’s will (will explain them further down)

i’m so serious right now he is the definition of "he doesn’t even talk but i know he’s been through it." i bet he listens to sad piano music and stares at the stars and wonders if anyone misses him without knowing who “anyone” even is 😭😭😭

Now let me put it this way:

💫✨ Imagine you were made from discarded leftovers of someone's masterpiece dough. Imagine you gained a soul from stardust, traveled through literal space with a heartbreak playlist in your pocket, and found out you were a mistake.

And then imagine that trauma? It was so strong, it created a living shadow of you. But the shadow didn’t get your growth arc. He just got left behind in the ghost town of Wizards™️ like “hey where did everyone go 🧍” Also he haunts the Sanctuary of Faded Stars now. Bro goes there like it's a graveyard, just stares at the ruins like he's listening for a star to tell him it's okay to cry. I WANNA HUG HIM SO BAD. He’s the forgotten sadness of someone who already moved on. Tell me that’s not soul-crushing.

So get this. The Wizards™️, right? The same ones who threw Stardust Cookie into the void like yesterday’s leftovers? Yeah, THEY made Moonlight Cookie. But Moonlight wasn’t a reject. Oh no. She was the golden child. ✨ The daughter they kept. The one who was designed to be perfect. The glowing, graceful guardian of the City of Wizards—aka Hogwarts but ✨depressing✨. So, you see, Moonlight Cookie IS Stardust Cookie sister </3 awe

And when the Wizards all disappeared? Like, POOF—gone? She stayed behind. Alone. Guarding a city of ghosts and ruins and unanswered questions. Sleeping. Dreaming. Crying in her sleep maybe. Yeah. 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

He’s the brother she never knew she had. The angry stardust fireball who went from “what am I” to “I will destroy the city that made me.” And Moonlight is like: “Who... who is this... sad, screaming meteor boy who just exploded into my city???”

And THEN—it clicks. They’re made from the same dough. She's moonlight. He’s stardust. They’re cosmic siblings. Two halves of a shattered dream. 🥺🥺🥺

At first?? She’s scared. He’s throwing stars, destroying the city she’s literally sworn to protect. But she doesn’t fight him with hate—she reaches out with understanding. And THAT’S THE PART THAT KILLS ME. Because Moonlight Cookie… doesn’t get mad. She understands. She sees the pain behind his rage. And when she learns that his whole life was spent alone in the void, screaming into the stars that abandoned him? BRO THEY'RE THE SAME KIND OF LONELY, JUST IN DIFFERENT FLAVORS 😭😭😭

And THEn,,,, when Stardust finally breaks down and asks “Why was I even born?”… Moonlight is like “You were born because the stars WANTED you to be. You EXIST because someone believed you could become something wonderful.”

Moonlight Cookie, post-reconciliation? she sees now that the Wizards weren’t perfect,,, that the city she guarded so fiercely also hurt the ones she loves and she finally lets go of the illusion that the Wizards are coming back.

ohh, and now quick scoop on Milky Way Cookie and Space Doughnut w/ Stardust Cookie! Milky Way Cookie is the calm, wise train conductor who guides Stardust through his lonely cosmic journey, helping him learn connection and friendship (she is literally a kid who like my little pony teaching an adult about this things LMAO) and space Doughnut is the quirky, goofy buddy who breaks through Stardust’s tough shell and even saves him from danger—proving friendship can come from the most unexpected places!

i had to do a quick research bc i didn't remember about ALLL the lore,,, butt: i did outdid myself in this

i think an oc x canon w/ him could be pretty sweet, my boy deserves love after everything nana....

THIS IS SO SOFT AND TENDER THE POOR BOY!!!!! I'm glad his sister loves him and he got buddies now though.... Ughh idk what type of cookie to make to ship with him because other than what u dropped idk anything about cookie run... I thought of making a boring pumpkin cookie... But that might already exist... Welp.

I don’t even know if it’s a request but I’ve been thinking about Pato crushing on or dating an autistic driver reader who he doesn’t realize is autistic but he still happily does things to help and make her feel comfortable

-💙🩵

It’s easy when it’s you||Pato O’ward x fem!Autistic!reader

Word count—654

The paddock was alive with noise—engines roaring in the background, team radios buzzing, and the general hum of race day chaos. You liked to stay on the fringes, close enough to soak in the energy but far enough to avoid being overwhelmed.

Today was no different. You had your favorite pair of noise-canceling headphones on, a small buffer between you and the world, as you studied the data on your tablet.

“Hey, you planning on giving away all the secrets before the race?”

You startled slightly at the familiar voice, turning to see Pato standing nearby, his signature grin in full force.

“I don’t think my data is that valuable,” you replied, the corners of your mouth quivering despite yourself.

“Don’t sell yourself short,” he teased, leaning casually against the barrier. “Besides, you’re the only one around here who makes sense half the time.”

You felt the heat rise to your cheeks but quickly brushed it off. Pato had a way of making everyone feel at ease, but his attention always felt a little… different when it was on you.

It started with small things. Pato would always make sure to ask if you wanted to join the group after races, but he never pushed when you declined. If you sat alone during a particularly loud debrief, he’d pass by and drop off a bottle of water without a word, his presence calming without being intrusive.

One day, you found him crouched next to your chair, holding out a bag of your favorite snacks.

“I noticed you don’t always eat much during the post-race chaos,” he explained, rubbing the back of his neck. “Figured this might help.”

You blinked at him, momentarily stunned. “You… noticed that?”

He shrugged, his easygoing demeanor masking what felt like genuine care. “Yeah, I notice a lot of things.”

The moment everything shifted came after a particularly grueling weekend. You’d been caught off guard by a sudden schedule change, and the resulting chaos had left you overstimulated and barely holding it together.

You’d retreated to a quiet corner, your breathing uneven as you tried to ground yourself. The hum of fluorescent lights felt too loud, the texture of your fireproof suit too scratchy.

“Hey.”

You looked up to see Pato crouching in front of you, his brow furrowed with concern.

“I’m fine,” you mumbled, though your voice betrayed the opposite.

He didn’t argue. Instead, he set down a small item in front of you—a soft, squishy stress ball in the shape of a car.

“Thought you might like this,” he said gently.

You stared at it, then at him. “How did you—”

“You seemed off earlier,” he said with a small shrug. “I figured maybe this could help. If not, we can just sit here for a while.”

Your throat tightened. It wasn’t just that he’d noticed—it was that he’d cared enough to do something about it without making a big deal of it.

“I’m autistic,” you blurted out, the words slipping past your lips before you could second-guess yourself.

Pato blinked, then nodded slowly. “Okay. What does that mean for you?”

You hesitated, unsure how much to share. “It means I get overwhelmed sometimes. By noise, changes, people… everything.”

“Got it,” he said, his tone casual but warm. “So, how can I help? Besides this little guy,” he added, gesturing to the stress ball with a grin.

Your chest loosened, the weight of the moment lifting. “This is a good start.”

From then on, Pato made it his mission to quietly support you in ways that felt almost effortless. He learned to spot the signs of your discomfort before you even said a word, offering subtle solutions that never felt patronizing. And when you finally worked up the courage to tell him how much it all meant to you, he simply smiled and said, “It’s easy when it’s you.”

Hi hi!!!! Verdant anon here! ( """anon""" since I've decided to just reveal myself) (feel free to continue referring to me as Verdant "anon" though since my username very much resembles a keysmash). I finally got a chance to sit and type this so I can say

AAAAAAAAAA THANK YOUUUUUUU!!!!!!! FOR RIBBON-ING HIM!!!!!!! As always I'm amazed by the research you put into making sure you *know* the characters you want to write. I love that you incorporated some things he's said in his voice lines it's like I can hear him (and his accent lol!) I'm glad you got to discover his charm too lol. He really is so silly eeeeeeeeee it's so cute >w<!!!! Also "li'l sprout" AAAAAAAAAA ♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎ How !!!!! cute !!!!! <33333333

Omg?! 🥹🫶 Hiya there aaa!! Tysm for dropping by my inbox with this!!! It's v v nice to meet you properly Verdant anon!! 🤲💕 (the name has sort of stuck with me lmaosjskjs but if you'd like another just let me know 🥹)

This is... Such a sweet ask absjshs... TYSM!! 🥹🫶 This warmed my lil heart to read!! 😭😖💕

OFC vahavasbs!! Giving him the tail ribbons seemed almost necessary after that original ask you left lmaosjskjs...I had lots of fun with it (writing dialogue for the Victorian accents is always fun lmaaosjsosk) and I'm v v glad you think I did him justice 🥹🙏

And about me and writing for the characters!! Verdant anon... Sbsjssams!! Tysm for your kindness... It means v v much to me!! 🥹😭💞 The 'it's like I can hear him' is always my intention so to know you did.... Absjshs aaa!! 😖🤲🩵

Excuse my ramble here... But!! Since starting the blog and writing for these characters for you guys, it's always been the most, most important thing for me to capture them right and do each character justice...! 🥹🙏 I never want to disrespect or misrepresent them, that would be absjshs the worst thing for me... So everytime I write for a new character, I take extra care and time to know them as best I can!!

I know they're just video game characters, yes svshgs....!! But!! The AK Operators each have their own stories and traits that you can tell were made with care...even the 4⭐'s and 3⭐'s!! And sort of like how each Pokemon is someone's favourite, every AK Operator is someone's beloved! 🫶 I have that mindset with my writing everytime.... So... It's v v important to me that I do each character I write for well!! 🥹😭 To know it shows... Aaasbjss makes me v v happy!

Anywho!! 🥹🫶

I'm glad "lil sprout" fits, too! I always have fun picking a new nickname for each Operator to call you... It's a lil special thing on the blog that each Operator has their own alsnska 🫶

Okay!! Enough Exe-yapping lopsksokss... 😭

Always remember: 'Rico and Exe love you sbshhs!! 🫶

[alkrawn]

Yooo! Hii! 😁 rate this pic out of ten. It’s my absolute favvvv! Hehe

i love this picture of him. so honestly? i’d definitely say 10/10

[tojiscrack]

I wonder if MC is ever bothered by her dad’s physical absence. Like they probably call a lot and stuff but I wonder if it still affects her (totally not me projecting btw🫠)

ooh, no one’s ever touched on that yk, you’re the first person to 👀

it’s definitely bothered her at one point, which will be revealed much later into the story. but honestly, i think it bothered mc’s dad more than it did her 😭

despite that man’s love for animals, his love for his only child is greaterrrrr (the exaggerated version of him would pick animals over her but obviously, this isn’t the exaggerated version of him 😭).

spoiler: in one of the filler chapters, there’s a father-daughter dance, so we get to navigate a little of what mc feels here

i might have to check this rq ‘cause i lowkey forgot (terrible author, i’m sorry 💀) but i think in elementary school, when megumi and y/n were making fun of that couple that were getting married on the school playground, she said smth about not minding if her dad doesn’t show up to her wedding ‘cause he’s not around much anyway…

there’s nothing to read below the surface there. she’s just in her own world and truly wouldn’t mind. she’s not aware that he absolutely would mind and would most likely, shamelessly, publicly cry if he missed his daughter’s wedding 🥴

‘totally not me projecting btw’ — OAKSIWJJDJE I’M SORRYYYY ☹️ all this talk about y/n and her dad, it makes me sound so insensitive :( idrk how to navigate topics like these. i hope i can do you a little justice in the story, even tho ur circumstances might be a little different to our mc’s <3

[brights-place]

I really like your ever after series!

But I noticed that some spots were empty so I wanted to suggest somethings but feel free to ignore this 

Kalim Al Aism x Courtly jester?

Super innocent, powerful, silly little guy with someone who constantly looks like they’re planning his downfall  

In reality, they are just thinking of ways to make him laugh (and completely destroy his enemies)

That’s all I really have right now

SUPER sorry if you weren’t taking suggestions 

Yes some spots were empty cause I couldn’t think of any at all and this though this thought your making OHOHOHOHOH I JUST HAD ONE OF THE BEST IDEAS BECAUSE OF YOU!

THANK YOU FOR THE SUGGESTION LOVELY!! Im do gonna get hyped to write more of this series!

[skeletonh0e]

So I scrolled back enough through your posts and found a writing of yours that kinda ends at a cliffhanger. You might not remember it lol . It was a reader x bad sanses. The troublesome trio specifically. Posted on march 27. Any chance you could look at that and add another part in the future? No rush. And don’t worry about it especially if you don’t wanna do another part.

I'm working on it

[gachaship]

Proship-Chan x Anti-Sama, toxic yuri, enemies to enemies and lovers,,,,,,

Do you see my vision?

Agreed! Hate to loving hate/hateful love! Enemies AND lovers!

Anti-Sama: "You're disgusting."

Proship-Chan: "And you never learned respect."

Anti-Sama: tripped over.

Proship-Chan: "Hey! Careful! Are you okay?"

Anti-Sama: She...Cares about me? But I thought we hated each other. I hate her!

Anti-Sama: "GO OUT WITH ME...Y-YOU."

Proship-Chan: ???

daisy: nine months in my womb…. AND THE THREE ARE JUST LIKE THEIR STUPID DAD!! (<- hormones are hitting)

LSKDKDJDJ NGL I ACTUALLY THINK DAISY THOUGHT THEY WERE THE CUTEST??? I think the triplets look like Daisy too but YES they resemble Ruggie the most, but I actually think that Daisy adores that? She thinks Ruggie is the most handsome, cutest person alive, so seeing the three little results of their love?? And they look exactly like the person Daisy love most?? I think she cries about it a little bit🥹🥹

A Cornucopia for You!

From: @levans44

Bucky Barnes; grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers; modern AU neighbors; fluff

You sat on your knees in the garden, your plush grass pairing nicely with the new petunias you were planting in rows at the corner of your house near the property line.

As you looked in front of you, you could see the way your well-treated lawn contrasted with the brown patches in that of your neighbor’s. Since he moved in, you watched as a once beautiful piece of land became a little overgrown. What confused you about it most, though, was the fact that you had never really seen him leave his house. Sure, every now and then, you’d hear the roar of a motorcycle and peek through your curtains to see the Beefcake riding away, but it was few and far between.

But the bike hadn’t left the driveway in some time, and as you looked down at the plethora of greens before you, you figured you had some to spare. Brushing your knees free of dirt and removing your gardening gloves, you decided to pay your reclusive neighbor a visit.

As you knocked on the door, you were caught by surprise when it whipped open, revealing him in all of his brooding glory. He wore a white tank, too tight for your sanity, as it clung to his abs and chest. And oh man, did he have abs for days.

You swallowed at the sight, but quickly averted your gaze to his face in response to this low grunt of, “what?”

That view wasn’t much better. The light stubble on his chiseled jaw had you fighting the urge to reach out and see if it would cut your finger.

“H-hi. I’ve got some extra petunias. I was wondering if you might want them? I-I’ll plant them if you want. I also have some lawn feeder if you’re interested. Not that your lawn is bad, it’s just, I thought I could help you care for it—not that you don’t know how to care for it! Just…”

You wanted to facepalm with the word vomit that was spilling out of your mouth, except…. the stranger started to smile, laugh lightly even. He saved you from making a further fool of yourself, too.

“I think that all sounds great, neighbor. I really appreciate it.”

He rubbed the back of his neck and looked out to his front yard. “Not really used to the whole ‘having my own home’ thing yet. I grew up in the city, so thank you for your offer.”

His smile had you bashfully blushing. “I’m Bucky by the way. And I just made lunch. You wanna, uh, come inside for some and we can discuss the grass that I don’t know how to take care of?”

You laughed and hid your face behind your hands. “I’m sorry about that. I told you I wasn’t assuming, though!”

He laughed at that and it was like music to your ears, as he held the door open for you and you became enveloped in the most homey aromas.

PLEASE I ABSOLUTELY ADORED THIS 😭😭 big city boy bucky!! could let me ride on his motorcycle 👉🏼👈🏼

this was such a lovely surprise omg thank you @levans44 for requesting this for me?? 🥺 and essie you're an artist omg i'm swooning !!! thank you thank you thank you 💛
