#dead to them and this kingdom

[nonuggetshere]

Nah, Hollow gave his job to his sister Marissa, which is one hell of a career shift but in Hollow's defence they were desperate to not fall out of favour of butterfly monarchy and they don't know many people personally.

He'd care in that he's still shell-shocked and somewhat offended that they made an example out of him, but after he calms down a little he comes to the conclusion that he wouldn't want to work under them anyway

Laddies we got an Au

Long post below the cut and some disturbing imagery, so be advised.

So it takes place after Pearl sunk Abalone and his fleeting. This time however her sisters actually stuck around to check on her after everything and actually managed to help her open up…some how.

Though her heart wasn’t stained black she will never be the same.

However she was able to build up the strength to talk to Lord Oyster again. She never fully forgave him for giving away her pearl, but he was there after the attacks to take care of the pirates who had somehow managed to avoid dying to take them to justice. This showed the mermaids that some cookies could be trusted. Because of this Pearl became a guardian for The House of Oyster and oh boy did that do wonders for their reputation!

With her making peace with all her pain she didn’t fully become Black Pearl and is kinda grey(-ish purple) I need to work on her design a bit more obviously, but she followed a lot closer to Crimson and takes her job as a protector seriously enough. Some may wonder if she enjoys a good fight more than defending her friends.

Also her sister and Frilled Jellyfish have her tokens to try and brighten her up some.

Through all this Lord Oyster swore he would redeem himself to his moon (she asked him not to call her that anymore lol) So he dedicated a good chunk of resources to trying to locate her pearl! This mission was passed down through the generations until finally…

Oyster Cookie had finally gotten a big lead and was able to send one of the best captains and his crew out to try and recover it.

Unfortunately they ran into a slight problem.

The sea the pearl was said to be found in was rough and could capsize a ship twice their size. Caviar wanted to go alone, but with a crew as stubborn as he they braved it together as one! (Candy Diver died in a different accident and Caviar still managed to find them and bring them aboard because he’s just that good at sniffing out crew mates.)

Alas it wasn’t just a storm.

It was a trap.

A band of pirates forged a letter hoping Oyster herself would show up so they could get a nice tidy ransom, but when a harder than nails crew showed up in their place they were far from pleased.

The Salty Shark crew hold their ground well, but being outnumbered four to one never seems to end in your favour.

Caviar was the last to go down and was thrown overboard to his watery grave like the rest of his crew. After The Silent’s crew was demolished completely the pirates set out to “commandeer” her, but immediately things started to go wrong for them. Things went so wrong that at least two were killed on their scramble to get off the boat while many more met their soggy fates as they threw themselves overboard in preference to whatever was on their with them.

Guess what movie franchise this is based on :D

As the legend says the captain pulled himself up out of the deep that night and sails his waters of the Duskgloom searching for his crew to bring them safely aboard and finally leave that damned place. However the captain’s kindness runs short with strangers who cross his path, especially those who fly the skull and crossbones.

The Silent is still under his full command and all orders are carried out will full efficiency.

Now Oyster wanted the return of her pearl to be a surprise with a big celebration after, but when the captain never returned and those she sent to look for him disappeared she had few other choices than to send her most capable guard.

My take on Rauru and Sonia's very unnamed and unmentioned probable daughter

[randomspagetti]

[RegretfulTrio!AU]

Imma be completely transparent, I was listening to the lightning thief musical for too long and now this exists. Do I regret it? Not really. Am I proud this now exists as part of my brainrot? Somewhat not.

Anyways-Au time go:

A gatekeeper with no more gates to protect, the prince of a kingdom that has exiled him, and an ex-tray-master join forces to go to beast-yeast.

Whether it's for the people Dark Enchantress killed, the person he needs to make proud, or regrets of following her, they will take Dark Enchantress down. After all, they have no other options.

Dark Choco dropped his sword the second he slashed his father, Burnt Cheese Miraculously was the only survivor of the Golden Cheese Kingdom Tragedy, and Red Velvet starts to truly wonder if he's on the right side.

Basically they all have stripped hair, parental problems, past regrets, a somewhat lack of social skills, and they're all going to try to defeat Dark Enchantress, each for their own reasons.

I don't think the ancients will be happy when they find out that three random cookies decided to travel to the most dangerous place in Earthbread to fight the most dangerous villain. (Especially Golden Cheese and Dark Cacao)

Also! Some exerpts I wanted to share from discord:

Velvet: Wow this is a nice rock, I just wanna look at it

Burnt: I wonder if I could guard this..

Choco: idk why we're staring at a rock but I don't want to be the odd one out

{Burnt Cheese Can't Write(well)}

Burnt: ok. We need to go here, visit here, stop here, and spend the night here (making a separate map)

Choco: .....*squints*

Velvet: .....were you by any chance a doctor in Golden Cheese Kingdom??

That's it- imma start working on comic stuff again

[chimerafeathers]

there's an essay jumbled up in my brain about dunmeshi's beginning and how clever and deceptive it is as a sleight-of-hand trick that distracts the audience from the depth and scope of the worldbuilding and foreshadowing that's being set up the entire time by dangling zany characters and wacky dishes and biology fun facts in front of us, and how that serves to catch invested viewers off guard when those elements come to the forefront, but also how it works against it with other viewers wanting "more" and not seeing it because the plot bait isn't laid out up front

how people getting frustrated with the characters "not taking things seriously" is mirrored and refuted in the confrontation between Laios and Shuro. how the characters' attitudes aren't just a result of shallow low-stakes "comedy rules" where nothing matters, but are an extension of their personalities (Laios's nonstandard expression of emotions being offputting even to people he knows) and the world and social environment (adventurers being desensitized to death and injury because resurrection magic is commonplace). the way the party refers to "saving Falin" instead of "retrieving Falin's corpse," indicating that they still see her with full personhood, and how that phrasing leads to some readers/viewers believing that Falin is alive in the dragon's stomach, conscious of being slowly digested while the party carelessly fucks around "wasting time." how the weird tonal dissonance makes sense in-universe and yet is deliberately challenged more and more the deeper the party goes

all the character building and pieces of lore slowly weaving together the shape of the larger world, laying the groundwork for the major themes that will surface later. so much is right there in the "low-stakes" early episodes if you know what you're looking for (or pass the perception checks).

it can be so satisfying to see new viewers/readers pick up on the clues even in the earliest "simple" episodes, or notice new things and make connections yourself....and it can also be frustrating to see people dismiss oddities and dissonance as shallow or bad writing because they don't expect a "cooking anime" to have depth like that. why try to question and understand and peel back the layers when you don't expect there to be any layers?

why can't laios take things seriously for once?
