You WILL fall for my Custard Cookie III Shadowvanilla son propaganda.

So, Cookie Run Kingdom, yeah

But what if

Swap AU

Behold, our protagonist: Vanilla Bean Cookie, an aspiring healer with a kind and gentle heart...sometimes to his detriment. Regardless, however, he refuses to back down, and will save Earthbread or die trying.

On the other hand, we have:

The Gingerknight! Former leader of the Ancient Heroes, and the only one remaining as far as anyone on Earthbread is aware. Normally quiet and stoic, swiftly slaying threats with his candy cane blade, he is in actuality quite amicable, though he doesn't often let others see that side of himself. As the Light of Bravery, he charges headlong into danger, determined to save everyone he possibly can.

Other swaps include:

Strawberry <—> Hollyberry (Strawberry becomes Sweet Berry, Light of Protection, Hollyberry becomes Redberry)

Custard III <—> Dark Cacao (Custard III becomes Pâtissière I, Light of Guidance, Dark Cacao becomes Chocolate)

Chili Pepper <—> Golden Cheese (Chili Pepper becomes Pepper X, Light of Fervor, Golden Cheese becomes Cheddar)

Wizard <—> White Lily (Wizard becomes Dairy Archmage, Light of Curiosity, White Lily becomes Sage)

And lastly, a certain jester takes the place of a certain...enchantress. Needless to say, he's much more effective at the more psychological side of warfare than some witch and her pastries. :)

Character design choice analysis below v

Gingerbrave:

Scars are an inevitable part of his design. I purposely tried to make his eyes lokk less cheerful and hopeful than the other characters because something about an inherently good and the embodiment of hope characters having the dryest old eyes than any adult he's ever met is really interesting. The patch on his vest is decorated with sewings from the kingdom-folks who helped him, they care for him. He actually has a vanilla cone hair tie in the back, it's the thing that keeps his hair together.

Strawberry:

The marks on her cheeks are supposed to be an imitation of Strawberry seeds. All of the added details from me are supposed to imitate real life stereotypical Strawberry, especially the curly leafy hair! I tried to make her look introverted but comfortable around her teammates, hence the complex pose in the art, because if you're comfortable with someone you would definitely not mind posing with whatever pose that is comfortable.

Wizard:

His cat-like eyes are similar to Espresso cookie because I headcanon that most mages are made in the image of a cat by the witches, and also because it's a representation of how strong their mana is. I decided to make him look more 'ethereal' like the witches in the oven summoning scene, you know with the glitter and starry eyes and all that?? I also tried to make his eyes as dry as Gingerbrave's but more hopeful and cheerflul and bright, it showcases how despite being the smartest he's still a child with big hopes for the world and his future.

Custard:

Small.

who up cookieing their runs

ᴏʜ, ɪ ᴊᴜꜱᴛ ᴄᴀɴ'ᴛ ᴡᴀɪᴛ ᴛᴏ ʙᴇ ᴋɪɴɢ!

When you were transported to this world, you had just so happened to land in the unexplored forest close to the Cookie Kingdom. You had quickly stumbled across it and were seen by a cookie.

You were soon connected to the Legend of the Baker and cookies insisted you should  officially become ruler of the Cookie Kingdom.

Custard Cookie III was a bit reluctant at first. He did really want to be king, but you were the Baker. You were WAY more important than him. You should definitely rule!

However, the minute you were officially crowned, he ran up to you and begged you to teach him how to be a great ruler so one day, when you step down, he can rule.

And you, being sympathetic and not thinking of a reason why this could be a bad idea, accepted.

Ever since, he’s been visiting you whenever he can and persistently asking about what you do as a ruler.

He wants to know everything. He wants to become a just and powerful king when he eventually takes the throne!

As he gets to know you more, visits become almost daily. He rants to you about anything and everything.

He mostly rants about what he would do as king. How he would help his kingdom thrive. It warms your heart, watching him talk about his desire to make sure every cookie in the kingdom would be happy under his rule.

Eventually, the idea of inheriting the throne almost makes him feel a bit bad. If you ever had to give up power, it would be because something bad would have to happen to you.

He doesn’t want that! It makes him feel sad. He’s not ready yet.

All of his worries and emotions eventually boil over during one of his visits. He cried and hugged your leg as he told you his realization through tears. 

You spent a while comforting him until he stopped crying, reassuring you weren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Despite the emotional visit, he acted completely fine the next day when he ran into your office and eagerly began ranting and asking you about royal advice.

He does that the most. He asks you about what you do as ruler and asks you to teach him how to do it so he’s prepared.

Overall, he really looks up to you. He wants to be just like you. He’s like a younger sibling, copying everything you and proclaiming he’ll be just like you. Just like the legendary Baker.

“Why are you looking at so many papers?”

You looked over at Custard Cookie III, who was standing on a chair and peering down at the document you were currently reading. He was visibly confused, his eyes trying to read it. His voice raised as he grew slightly frustrated at the hard time he was having trying to read the document.

“I can’t understand any of this! What does frivolous even mean?!”

You only chuckled, tapping your pen against the table. You gently ruffled his fluffy golden hair, causing him to pout and complain.

“H-Hey, watch the crown!”

Smiling, you stopped, returning to your previous task. Your eyes were glued onto the document, carefully reading word by word. Your eyes shifted from one word to the next and Custard could easily notice the intense focus in your eyes as you carefully read the fine print.

“Most of these papers are about approving trades from the Jelly Bear train and other suppliers, which I have to sign. Some are letters from one of the other Kingdoms that are mostly invites for dances or just meet ups. A lot of those are from the Hollyberry kingdom and Golden Cheese Kingdom.”

You responded, looking over the last paragraph and signing your signature at the bottom of the paper. You set the multiple paged document aside, grabbing another from the pile and starting the process all over again. Custard poted, raising his handmade scepter into the air and declaring.

“Well, when I’m king I’ll ban paperwork, so you’ll never have to do any again!”

You chuckled, finding his naivety amusing. You put your pen down, flexing the stiff muscles in your hand and stretching your arms in the air. Silence filled the room as you stretched, before you felt Custard suddenly grab the hem of your outfit, gently tugging. He looked up at you, his face troubled and his voice soft.

“Can we do something else?”

You stared at him, then the papers, then back at him. He was making puppy dog eyes. You could feel your resolve weaken at the sight. You softly sighed, getting up from your office chair and grabbing your coat. You could see Custard was beaming from the corner of your eyes, making you smile as he hastily grabbed his scepter.

“Alright. How about a walk through the garden?”

“Yay!”

You giggled at his excitement while you buttoned up your coat and walked over to the office doors, holding them open for him. You watched as he raced out the door and took your hand, practically skipping down the halls. You smiled as you saw he occasionally glanced at the banners and decorations hung on the walls.

“I can’t for this all to be mine one day. I’m going to be the best king anyone’s ever seen!”

“I believe you will.”

You quietly agreed, squeezing his hand reassuringly. He giggled as he began to run quicker down the walls and pulling you with him.

“I can’t wait to be king!”

Dont focus too much on the Baker's design I'm still tryin to figure it out 😭 🙏

Shadow Milk: How did I get so many grandchildren and great-grandchildren? Some of them aren't even Jam related! And one is a child to two other Beasts!

Too bad he wasn't in most of their lives...in a positive light at least. But yeah...his family tree is a lot bigger than he thought.

Wizard cookie and custard cookie III costumes: Fount of Knowledge and Vanilla King.

Okay so hear me out on this headcanon: Wizard cookie being shadow milks experiment "son".

I'm talking before Shamilk corruption, he was trying to find a way to make cookie stronger, ok white lily, one of those ways being baking a cookie just like him, smart, magically talented, Prideful and long lasting. I imagine he'd mix his own dough to really give it that extra kick, being witch baked and all. The problem? The cookie refused to wake up no matter how he tried but he didn't want to just throw this possible life away, no instead he shoved the cookie away into a freezer in hope that one day he'll find away to wake the cookie.

Only for his hole corruption, "aLl CoOkIeS wAnT aRe LiEs" fiasco, leading to his imprisonment and yada yada. Thousands of years pass by the cookie still asleep in the tower in the witches castle until. finally! A nasty thunders storm strikes the top of the tower and out pops wizard cookie from the freezer! Still as fresh as the day he was bake although dazed and confused, Electricity still buzzed through his dough and his milk white hair has frozen into ice cream, not to mention he has no idea where or who he is. The only solace in this strange place being the countless books (all written by the same cookie) that lined the opposing shelves and a single painting of a old scholar that share his eyes, and the longest beard he has ever seen. he'd quite like one of those.

sorry for the rant had the creative juices going, anyways here's a bonus:
