Turns out, even a Soul Jam split between multiple cookies will awaken....
Or, a silly little AU I've been concocting for a couple months now! Gonna make a rp blog at some point but I at least wanna wait until the Eternal Sugar / Hollyberry updates finish!
The basic premise of the AU is simple: as a token of goodwill/trust/etc, most of the Ancients give a small peace of their Soul Jam to their most trusted allies.
Overtime, it just becomes second nature. A mark of how much trust they have on their shoulders, a way for the rulers to always know who they can trust.
And then Beast-Yeast happens. Turns out, when the Ancients themselves gained their awakened forms, the same happened to the cookies holding those small fragments....
And chaos ensues, because 2/3s of the Abundance holders should be dead and are Not, one of the Resolution holders has no fucking clue what's happening, and both Truth holders just woke up and have been transformed overnight with no word from Pure Vanilla in weeks
Light of Truth -
Although it wasn't until he lost his memories, Pure Vanilla did hand out two small fragments of his Soul Jam.
One to Black Raisin, even before he regained those precious memories. One as a gift to the leader he trusted to keep the village safe throughout it all.
One to Strawberry Crepe, as a peace offering. What harm could come if he indulged in the child's curiously just this once?
Tumblr media
Crepe was a design I always had in mind, with small physical changes! They now have pretty magic freckles, lights glinting in the hair, and various other little stuff!!! I really just enjoyed the idea of the subtle stuff for them!
(I also like to imagine that they're now able to read the Soul Jams, and have an internal sense of if someone is lying or not)
Black Raisin gets wings :3 It's kinda hard to work with just the sprite, but they're white chocolate, as a reference to chocolate cover raisins!!! And honestly the hair was just because the wings felt a bit bland, so the idea of the Light of Truth taking over her hair was an idea that I figured looked awesome!!
Also the Crows and her can communicate without any hesitation. She just starts chirping to chat with a random crow in the middle of a meeting. does not realize this is happening
Light of Resolution -
Long before he closed the kingdom off, Dark Cacao gave his most trusted soldiers their own chip of his Soul Jam, trusting that they'd understand what it meant.
And understand they did. Crunchy Chip made sure that even among the coldest nights and hardest training sessions, that gem stayed safe. Caramel Arrow, even while exiled, treasured the shard of something precious with her life.
Dark Choco, on the other hand, only gained his due to sheer luck. Affagato had gotten his hands on the small chip of Soul Jam that had originally been reserved for the prince, and lost it in the wilderness. Dark Choco just happened to be in the right place to find it.
Tumblr media
For the designs, I. honestly I wasn't sure how exactly the best way about changing them up would be. Aside from making Crunchy Chip a furry. that was a given lol
Tbh Crunchy Chip was kind hard to figure out a design for, but in the same vein as Carrow, I think at lot of the changes Awakening brought were in his instincts and shit. mans will know if you're acting shifty from a mile away
It's a bit hard to see, but Dark Choco has some draconic traits! Claws, tail, horns, and some scales on his face! Honestly I just liked the idea of him echoing his father a bit through that :D
Carrow my beloved I couldn't find much to change up about your design because in my head most of the changes were magic in nature. Just know that all her arrows are 100% magical now and will never miss any target. and small trails of purple magic follow them. please see the vision
Light of Abundance -
Mozzarella was always a candidate for this role, being one of Golden Cheese's most trusted allies. Golden Cheese thought the shard of her Soul Jam had died with her friend, but it turns out things didn't go exactly as she assumed...
Burnt Cheese, in the same vein as Mozzarella, was assumed to have died alongside the shard he was given. Until Smoked Cheese misplaced the Soulcheese's after defeating Burning Spice.
Smoked Cheese, by all means, should NOT have been given a fragment of untold power. But Golden Cheese saw something in him that caused her to pause. Maybe it was a small reflection of herself, maybe the hope that it'd placate him. Whatever the reason, when the Goddess of Eternal Gold regained her wings, her adviser as gained a pair of his own.
Tumblr media
Smoked Cheese gets wings!! I liked the idea of him having smaller, but very capable, wings!! Some of his outfit was shifted to a more gold color, and the purple smoke is also gold! (this will be a theme)
Mozzarella gets cool horns! I also adored the idea of her Soul Jam fragment taking the place of the cheese slice on her head piece!!! I then proceeded to (attempt to) make it look like she was sprinkled in gold dust!!!!
Burnt Cheese... I'm so sorry my guy I had like no ideas ;-; I did end up giving him a small tail, and made him look like parts of his cape/head piece were coated in gold! Again I'm sorry Burnt Cheese fans I didn't know what to do for his designs ;-;
#I haven't set in stone what goes on with the Light of Passion bc we're halfway through that mess in canon#but currently I'm going with the idea that Hollyberry gave fragments to both Pitaya Dragon and Wildberry!#I also don't know if White Lily would trust anyone else to give them a piece of her soul??? so that's waiting until we get more info on her#as I said I'll be making a rp blog once the june update comes out#because it doesn't make sense to start something only to potentially need to retcon it in like three weeks#crk#crk au#crk sprite edit#cookie run kingdom#cookie run kingdom au#cookie run kingdom sprite edit#sprite edit#shared souls AU#strawberry crepe cookie#black raisin cookie#dark choco cookie#caramel arrow cookie#crunchy chip cookie#smoked cheese cookie#mozzarella cookie#burnt cheese cookie#kinda funny that Crepe's fragment is Curiosity when I have an OC that's literally the Light of Curiosity#hmmmm wonder what would happen in they met. the world would probably implode#also for each fragment's trait; I tried to make it part of the original light#for example; strength; loyalty; and adaptability all have elements of Resolution within them#Pleasure; greed; and protection all tie into Abundance with enjoyment; wanting more; and keeping your treasures safe#Curiosity and Leadership are more abstract; but often you're chasing some sort of truth / leaders have to be truthful to gain loyalty#for the Light of Passion; Pitaya has Defiance and Wildberry has Steadfastness; both of which you gotta have at least#a little Passion about something to stand for it :D#. as you can see I am very autistic about this AU so please please please talk to me about it

When your oldest brother dies on a religious crusade just as you feared he would and your father refuses to deal with his grief just as he refused to deal with it when your mother died (you were a baby btw) and then again when your other brother left home (because your dad was impossible to live with) and in spite of feeling entirely abandoned by your dad you use your newfound higher status to put yourself out on a limb in order to downgrade his punishment and that of your close friend despite grieving their involvement with the queen who led your brother to his death but instead of your father acknowledging your pain and your attempts to do what you believe will bring justice he lashes out at you by comparing your current position to the horrific way your mother died…just Eärien things

#andor#star wars#colonel draven#mon mothma#bail organa#I think one of the interesting things about andor and rogue one is how much it shows mon mothma trying to strike a balance#a balance between being a leader and active participant while also ensuring that others are involved/committed and informed enough#to also make decisions and lead#partly so that she isn't doing it on her own and partly because she has seen the starkest alternative - palpatine and the empire#and I think people really overlook or don't think about how much that is constantly in the background for her#seeing how the republic got warped and twisted and dominated and becoming the empire all because of one man's will and influence#and so she has to be careful when she does exercise her authority and influence#and she doesn't always get it completely right! she sometimes errs too much on the side of caution!#the meeting with the alliance council earlier in the episode when first being told about luthen's intel being a prime example#she could have been more vocal and pushed back more (but also would it have mattered? or would she have spent capital she might need later?#but in a moment like this with bail organa and with colonel draven backing her up...she can be more assertive because of their relationship#sorry but I just think she's so fascinating and it's moments like these#the expanded universe goes into this with her and it was so interesting - the fear from people like garm bel iblis that she's a dictator#only to know that she was always watching out for that herself#and that she also only took certain leadership burdens on because she didn't want others to be blamed if they failed

How widespread are the odonii? Do they only live in the capital or does every town have its own temple?
The cult center is in the city Wardin, this is where THE temple to Odomache is, where the Odomache permanently resides, and where the majority of the priesthood in general is based. The priesthood is overwhelmingly centered in this capital and the vast majority of its public rites occur here, but does have branches throughout the state.
There's another major temple in Odkoto which has almost as many members and has a pretty major sway on local government (and has been in a cold war with some of the merchant guilds that Also have a pretty major sway on local government, this is where most of the 'assassinations suspected to have been ordered by Odonii' have taken place). Odkoto was the departure point for the ultimately failed colonization of Finnerich and the currently successful colonization of the Lleniwir island, and also gets the 'most frequently besieged and sacked Wardi city in history' award. So concepts of Sovereignty and Dominion and Military Might are especially important there on a cultural level and God-As-Odomache is effectively a patron deity(-form) of the city. The temple complex there is massive (built in part on remains of very old Imperial Burri temples) and holds the biggest semi-domesticated lion population. One holiday public rite to Odomache is performed only here.
Every other provincial capital has at least A temple and some local Odonii, which is because (aside from political and pragmatic reasons) their presence is considered to be a metaphysical bastion for the health of the state and all its major divisions of government. Every local jurisdiction outside of Wardin is run by an internally appointed high priestess, selected out of the body of 'senior priestesses' (the Odomache effectively fills this role in the Wardin cult center). Temples to Odomache are near-exclusively a mega-urban thing (with a the exception of a small temple in Lobera a ways down the Kannetod river, which is part of the state cult/priesthood but is the assimilated remnants of an unrelated cult and kinda still doing their own thing to some extent).
The CULT to Odomache is wider than the Odonii and there are other centers of practice and worship (though they still tend to be pretty urban, and small). The most notable is the outdoor temple to Odomache Ebada ('patriarch/father Odomache') in Ephennos, in which the Odomache godform is venerated specifically in Its aspect as a guardian/father to the collective people. It's maintained by a small lesser priesthood of exclusively men and a bunch of lay followers, though the Odonii do have a hand in this (the Ephenni high priestess directs public rites here on a yearly local holiday).
Most of the priesthoods and major temples in general are an urban phenomena and people living far from major cities generally want to be able to participate in their own religion. So you'll won't find many Temples but will find community-made shrines in many villages/towns (though the agricultural Faces (Ganmache Mitlamache Anaemache Inyamache) are typically the focus of these). This is generally considered acceptable as long as it's an extension of lay practice and no one involved is 'playing priest' and attempting rites they shouldn't. These shrines are usually just places to their communities perform more focused veneration, celebrate holidays, and leave offerings to aspects of God.
The villages on the pilgrimage route between the city Wardin and the Sons of Creation tend to have the most lavish community shrines to Odomache. This is because some Odonii and usually the Odomache are usually accompanying the pilgrimage, and will often oblige their hosts with blessings of their shrines or gifts of cult objects (statuettes, amulets, etc). The village Waenatlan Hehaë on the northern Briya river has a particularly lavish and proudly kept shrine. When they hosted the inner pilgrimage party 21 years ago, the community provided them a feast and slaughtered two oxen and three horses and several ducks for the occasion. The Odomache in attendance declared that they should be gifted with a real kagnoma odo headdress (helmet with a full sacrificial temple lion pelt, this is considered a holy object) for their shrine in return for their exceptional generosity as hosts, and lay pilgrims have been leaving an abundance of little handmade statues and the like for the village shrine ever since. (This sort of thing is typical under normal new year pilgrimage conditions, its expected that host villages Act like hosts and provide for their guests within reason and capability, and they can usually expect (but should NEVER verbalize or demand) to be gifted to in return).

idk if it’s just me but the whole “which atla kid in the gaang is the most mature” debates can get redundant and kind of exhausting at times. they’re kids. they’re multifaceted characters. they’re mature in some departments and immature in others. they have their strengths and weaknesses. also they’re kids lol.

#17 Snailshade
no one really knows what this guys deal is bc he doesn't like or talk to anyone. Honestly the only reason he stays in RiverClan instead of fucking off to be a loner is for the security. He prefers vanishing early to patrol by himself, which he usually can do as even the deputy occasionally forgets he exists for days at a time.

One day I will write a longer post about this but in my opinion, part of the real reason Zhen Huan wins in the end is that she was the most effective leader of the harem

"#i also think that thalia holds a lot of pride in being a daughter of zeus#like she doesn't shun that part of herself very much but actively shuns being the daughter of fallen starlet beryl grace#food for thought"
FOOD FOR THHOUGHT INDEED. she was even textually introduced as thalia, daughter of zeus. no last name. it is later discussed that thalia literally does not like using her surname....... yeah, she is her father's daughter. i don't blame her for it bc beryl is beryl but i think it's interesting that she didn't even know zeus and still put trust on him.
like we didn't find out thalia's last name until the last olympian... thalia is constantly described as a daughter of zeus being her main epithet... she is so much like her father in ways i cannot explain coherently... even if she loves it and hates it at the same time...

"Feminism failed me because now I have to work a nine to five job and I'd rather be a stay at home wife."
Or maybe we've fostered toxic work cultures that have created a "grass is greener on the other side" situation, or maybe we push our children so fast and hard into a career path without slowing it down to ensure our kids know of all their options instead of diving headfirst into a path they might not care about and thus leading to resentment of their work, or maybe we're getting lazier and lazier generations who feel like they shouldn't have to put in a standard amount of work and being a stay at home wife sounds like a dodge of responsibility, an easier route . . . .
. . . and on top of that, maybe we've romanticized the 1950s and the "traditional household" that we've decided to ignore that the culture was forced in order to get women back into domestic labor after running America while the men were at war so that men could get their jobs back, and have forgotten the commonality of domestic abuse and how ads would brazenly joke about it while victims felt like they had to keep quiet in order to maintain the image of a happy family as well as the alarming rate at which women were taking "mommy's little helpers" to help them with their lifestyles, and we've disconnected the fact that the 50s was followed by the wildness of the 60s and 70s as well as feminist movement wave which maybe indicates that the 50s was not the happy little decade in which men and women were in their "correct gender roles" and trying to replicate that era could possibly be a big mistake . . . .
Maybe the issue we have with feminism gaining women the right to work wasn't that it got us the right to work, but rather that it played into the idea that men and their traits are the standard of being human, and in order for a woman to be successful she has to display those traits instead of taking traits of women and standing on those as women's strengths and arguing for how work can be better when women and men use their feminine and masculine traits together because we're both human, and masculine traits are not better than feminine ones, and vice versa.
Maybe the problem faced by those who actually want to work stay at home lives are not hindered by feminism, but rather a failing economy caused by a government for a multitude of reasons, and not because the government created feminism to get women working to tax them too.
Maybe the problem here isn't people going against gender roles, but rather a multitude of many other factors, and it's a lot simpler to fight and blame the other gender.
I have many criticisms of feminism, particularly modern feminism. But feminism in general won women many victories over the decades, and there are a lot of things we women can do now that our female ancestors would have died to have. History might not be as sexist as we remember it, but sometimes I think we forget how unkind it was to women. Wishing feminism didn't come about or make the advances it did might be a little ignorant of the problems it saw women face and sought to correct.
Maybe it's not our "biology" to follow traditional gender roles, and we must return to that.
Maybe there's something we keep hopping over that recognizes men and women as individual humans first, with different skills, strengths, ambitions, and goals.

I think the funny thing about my being a youth leader is that I basically just Hang Out with a bunch of middle schoolers. like I just pal around with them and play games and then sit down and ramble at the youth pastor when it's time to discuss the Biblical topic of the night and somehow this has charmed like half a dozen of them into considering me A Cool Person despite the fact that I'm actually Introverted And Awkward at all times

Hi, happy new year! When it comes to heirs to the throne, who do you think is being better prepared? And what do you think of Leonor’s preparation so far?
Happy New Year to you as well! I'll be honest, I am quite tired so this reply may not be very good, but I tried. I liked this one though. Thanks for asking!
When it comes to heirs to the throne, who do you think is being better prepared?
It is kind of hard to argue which teenage heir is more prepared because each monarchy and country is different, which impacts how each royal family operates. While the Spanish monarchy isn't on its last legs as some believe, they cannot afford easily avoidable controversies (re: the Dutch vacationing in Greece during COVID) nor would pictures of Leonor or Sofía carrying a luxury brand bag be well received by the Spanish public. Each heir has different expectations depending on their country. Amalia doesn't need to enter the military because there's no link between the monarch and the military in the Netherlands, but this is seen as the standard for many monarchies (because of the monarch's role of the military). Also, if the country is typically in favor of their monarchy (re: Norway) then there is also less stress for perfection at a younger age. So because of this it is hard to fully compare until possibly each heir is more "established." That being said... I think if you asked each of the teenage heirs about duty, service and leadership, one of the better answers would come from Leonor.
And what do you think of Leonor’s preparation so far?
Felipe and Letizia have done a wonderful job adjusting Leonor to being a public figure. Though, her circumstances are also different! She bears the name of two foundations that give her an opportunity to hone in some communicative and leadership skills. They have also done little things, such as utilizing their vacations to highlight local communities, since the girls were young to show the girls who they're serving (plus I'm sure having the fam there helps bring in some new visitors for the places!). Some thought Leonor's military training plan was extensive, but it makes sense considering the close ties between not only the monarch and the military, but Spain and its Armed Forces. Leonor may not be ready per se to become Queen right this second, but she surely is becoming a trusted leader in her own right. Before you know it, she'll be just like Felipe and Letizia with a packed agenda!
