"—Wait. White Day? Chocolate? Chocolate?"

[quibbs126]

So, for the Valentine’s Day Combi pairings…so are we supposed to assume that these are all supposed to be romantic pairings between the ones chosen?

Because I mean, it is for Valentine’s, and I know Mint Choco and Cocoa are basically a canon couple, so…

[wonwayne]

how enha takes care of you ☁️

pairing : ot7 x gn!reader genre : fluff, comfort, humor warnings : mentions of food word count : 1k

a/n : requested by anon! kind of kicked it off with this hee drabble but had so much fun writing for all the members. for today’s purposes, let’s keep y/n sick and alone in their apartment 🫶

💭 heeseung

my little philosophy is that significant others can be two types of caregivers — one actively tries to treat your illness, the other is emotional support

each has their own merit ofc

but hee is miraculously both

sincerely believes he can rizz you to health

he’s being a bit selfish, he worries, for making you smile all the time

because it heals him more than it heals you

but he makes up for it by making sure you eat like a king (for all three meals a day!) until you feel better

also cuddles with you in bed to keep you warm

if whatever you have is contagious, he is definitely getting it

last but certainly not least: he sings to you. acoustic covers + snippets of his self-produced music, you’re getting it all 😌

almost makes you wish you were sick more often

💭 jay

arrives at your place with like fifty grocery bags (okay maybe not fifty, but… a lot)

big believer in sleep as the best medicine so he lets you be for the most part

but as soon as you wake up and come down to the living room

say hello to a FEAST

literally no room left on the dining table and he’s still doing something in the kitchen????

“jay i can’t… consume all of this” “don’t worry, eat as much as you want for now and i’ll put the leftovers in the fridge”

at this point what is there left to say except “can you just be my husband already”

you’re about to dig in and suddenly he’s standing over you giving you the death stare

“... did i… do something wrong?” “seriously?” your heart stops before he goes, “what happened to my thank you kiss?”

UGH he’s such a softie

💭 jake

is worried SICK and cannot hide it

refuses to leave your bedroom once he first enters it unless absolutely necessary — must stay by your side at all times !!

not the most experienced but the effort is very much there

“should we take the medicine together? would that be easier?” and you KNOW he hates taking medicine

“babe why would you take nyquil. you don’t have a cold.” “idk it can’t hurt can it?” it very much can (don’t do this kids)

he drinks it with you anyway (clinks the medicine cups and says “cheers!”… what are you going to do with this man) and tries his best to fight the drowsiness

ends up dozing with his head on your lap, kneeling by the bed

peak puppy position i tell you PEAK

💭 sunghoon

what matters is not so much how he takes care of you but how he looks so good while taking care of you: simple white dress shirt, sleeves rolled up just to the elbows, hair slicked back a little from washing his face, setting damp towels on your forehead and his forearm veins emerging as he wrings them… help me

it’s the wuthering heights bedridden cathy victorian era aesthetic okay

speaking of books why do i get the feeling that sunghoon would read to you

or simply talk to you about his day or childhood memories or anything to keep you comfortable and entertained

idk i feel like he’d want to remind you of his presence in a “i’m here for you” type of way but without being intrusive… is not at all offended when you fall asleep to his voice

don’t you just love when sunghoon.

💭 sunoo

i have one very specific idea for sunoo and i’m kinda obsessed with it

MINT. TEA. (if you know you know… mint tea is the sinus relief GOD)

and ofc as our resident mint choco lover, how could he not

“baby i made something for you!” you peer into the mug and you’re like 🤨 “you didn’t add chocolate syrup to this did you” “wtf i’m not a monster why would i do that??”

his discography and food preferences beg to differ but he truly does give you pure, steaming mint tea

it is so perfect i promise you will fall in love with him all over again

mint aside we all know this man is a human vitamin like i cannot imagine you staying sick for long

no need to binge tv (it makes your head hurt more anyway), just have sunoo spill all the drama to you for seven hours straight and you’ll be good to go

💭 jungwon

makes you wonder, did this boy have a medical degree this entire time and just not tell me??

knows exactly which medications help with which symptoms, gives you all the immune boosting foods, pulls up with a weighted blanket and a heating pad and a plushie to hug— you’re getting the best sleep of your life no question about it

listens to you so well “i miss what it was like to breathe” “it’s frustrating, isn’t it? as soon as one nostril clears, the other fills up, and it never seems to end” “YES ohmy— [cough] god, yes, you get it :(”

at the same time i think won is the most likely to avoid skinship when you’re sick bc yeah that stuffy nose does not sound fun

is smart about it though; prepares a bubble bath for you and then sets up the heating pad and everything on your bed while you’re in the bath

becomes 143x touchier once you’re back to normal (“i missed squishing your cheeks” “i missed squishing your cheeks!”)

💭 niki

crashes at your place to make sure you’re having a good time

it’s either you watching him game or movie marathon together

you don’t say it but you are so inordinately grateful that he’s caring enough to chill with you on days like these, you know he’d rather do dates outside and play pranks on you every other hour, but he’s giving that up just for you

would share a tub of ice cream with you if you’re craving it, although he voices his concerns first “is it… right to eat cold stuff when you have a cold?” “it defrosts in my mouth don’t worry” “okay you do you”

basically a good old sleepover

every time he checks your temperature he sings his part in fever (he’s humorous like that)

Takemichi, while making chocolate for Hina for Valentine Day decided to make buddy-choco for everyone.

Mitsuya smiled and says "my lesson was a sucess" and also take the ones for his sisters, thanking Mitchy for have thought about them.

Draken was flattered.

Emma and Yuzuha looked at him and wer like "buddy-choco only right?" before laughing and patting his back.

Chifuyu cried. He never had had buddy-choco (homemade) before. Baji gave him choco but it wasn't homemade. Same for Tora.

Baji just took it with a thank.

Senju was happy.

Sanzu accepted it with a smile.

Kakucho tried to not cry.

The mizo five were super happy (even if asked why they weren't the first to receive chocos)

Izana was about to be jealous but was confused to have choco before, except from Emma and Kakucho.

Smiley was flattered and accepted that Angry receive choco too. They invited him to a free dinner for white day.

Inupi was a happy puppy.

Koko was almost jealous but promised himself that Mitchy was going to have a nice white day because he can't let them with no that. He looked at Takemichi and think "a vest, that's it". Because Koko has no debt, even over buddy choco.

Taiju thanked Takemichi and slam his back 100% friendly. (Hakkai was terrified + impressed that Mitchy wasn't knocked out)

Hakkai was overjoyed. Before asking to Takemichi if his back was ok.

Peh and Pah were like "but we're boy" and then blinked with surprise because Takemichi is so nice. Buddy chocos for everyone? That's so nice. "and you made them yourself? cool"

Kazutora was super proud and teased Chifuyu that "your partner gave me choco". Fuyu and Baji didn't have the heart to tell him that Mitchy gave buddy chocos to everyone.

Shinichiro laughed because he only receive buddy chocos at every velentine day. in the background Waka starts to think that he must make his own into a heart form for Shin to understand.

Mikey waited all day to have his chocos and eats all of them immediatly like a hungry beast. And then asked for more.

Hina laughed and took her own with a gentle smile. "don't worry i take time to savor them,you deserve it after all the work you made into making it"

Takemichi on white day though getting a whole lot of stuff back (not just chocolate since a bunch of them burnt their attempts and settled for other random gifts)

New King AU basics

this is basically an introduction to the New King AU, since you all enjoyed the premise! It has some personal headcanons included, but for now I'll just make the basis settled so you all can accompany whatever I post about it from now on!

Basics:

In this AU, the soul jam doesn't make cookies immortal, just makes them live wayy longer than an average cookie, and the ancients got old. Cacao was the last one to give up on his jam but, eventually, passed it to Caramel Arrow.

The main plot evolves around Caramel, but Raisin, Choco and Royalberry also get soul jams. Still haven't decided on stuff for the Golden Cheese Kingdom though, I'll wait for when ep 18 is out ASKSMMR

This AU has my personal HC where the soul jam changes its holder's physics. I think you already noticed Caramel's horns already but yeah she gets more dragon-like traits and abilities, Raisin gets crow/angel like features (a mix of Vanilla's angelic appearance and her own touch) and Royal's dragon features are more evident (him being a hollytaya child in this AU. They divorced but eventually get back but it's a whooole story that I might explore later). Choco's appearance is never consistent as Dark Enchantress' soul jam is corrupted, but it's always something to do with shadows.

There are some changes in the kingdoms! I might go in depth with it as the AU expands.

Cacao Kingdom:

Cacao gives the throne to Caramel after the Affogato incident happened, as he doesn't believe he's capable of ruling over a kingdom anymore, that he should've passed the soul jam through before all of that and that he knows that the kingdom will be fine in Caramel's hands. (He already didn't feel too confident in the start of the og story I just kinda focused on it 🤷🏽.

Also Cacao didn't randomly tried to kill Choco in the middle of the story he just felt bad for being the reason for his son to have joined the dark side all because of their fight long ago, another reason for him to pass his throne and jam to somebody he trusts.

Affogato didn't manage to run away, instead getting caught by the Beast Tamers and jailed until Caramel was crowned and decided what to do with him. She makes him join the Beast Tamers as punishment (knows he doesn't like getting dirty)

A lot of cookies didn't like that decision but Carrow has Principals™ and wouldn't kill anyone who was defenseless (now that Affogato didn't have followers, weapons or venom or whatever). She acknowledged that at the same time as she still hates his guts.

Vanilla Kingdom:

Pure Vanilla passes his jam to Black Raisin after she saved everyone's asses in the end of ep 12. They rebuilder the kingdom and then she got the jam. Kinda became the leader of the kingdom since she doesn't like a title like "queen", feels too abundant and she doesn't like it.

Umm nothing changes much rlly. Everything's fine until the odyssey stuff happens (I'm still getting into it)

Hollyberry Kingdom:

Hollyberry being gone was the last straw for Pitaya, who took the kingdom for themself to try and get her attention (misses their wife). A princess contest was made to settle the next heir after Royalberry just to be sure, as the soul jam was kept a secret from Pitaya so they didn't use it to get Holly's attention too. For that, Royal didn't have the power (or courage) to confront Pitaya using it, and even ordered the royal guards to not mess with Pitaya, even Wildberry (look at what divorce leads to /silly).

Like in the story, Princess invades the context and wins it, giving Royal courage to use the shield with the soul jam and fight confront Pitaya with Princess in the only way Pitaya would listen: in a fight. Hollyberry eventually joins in too, her role is very similar to the one she has in the og story, except she was thereby get the soul jam back but decides to let Royal stay with it.

Cookies of Darkness:

Choco got White Lily's/Dark Enchantress' soul jam as he's the most powerful (combat-wise) of the cookies of darkness. Even if upset about not being chosen to be its holder, Pomegranate stills obeys her master and keeps controlling Choco with his blade (now powered by the soul jam) to get to her goals.

After ep 14 Choco doesn't give up on the sword, as Pomegranate stops him before he does. He still thinks about running away for a while though, but since Pomegranate has even more power over him because of both the cursed sword and the corrupted soul jam he still has to find out how to make his body stable without Pomegranate's help.

He eventually does, taking the soul jam and Poison Mushroom with him. He still struggles with how corrupted his body became, but finally the voices are gone and he can focus on himself. He only took Poison Mushroom because he felt bad leaving a child behind (and mayyybe he got attached. They reminded him a liiittle bit of Caramel from when he first started training her)

[c00kietin]

I don't know too much about your ocs,(and it was hard to find names, sorry) but I'm curious, so the third one if they were all in alphabetical order in their Pyjamas😴 (only if you want to obviously)

while I didn't draw all my characters (that would take a LONG time lol) I drew some of my more well known ones on the blog!

Some lil sleeping bits if ya don't mind:

Tenebris kinda has old-fashioned pajamas, with the night gown and striped shirt and jazz. I was tempted to draw one of those caps on them but I decided not to. They like to have their hair tied up by assistants so it's not as much of a mess in the morning. And they MUST have a glass of water before sleeping, no exceptions.

Brittany wears cutesy (and usually pricey) night dresses or t-shirt and shorts. She especially loves pairs with frills, lace or fluff. She has a long routine of doing her face and hair and teeth before going to bed, so she takes a while before she actually sleeps. Brittany also owns a huge collection of toys and plushies that she keeps around her like a barricade.

Valerie has tried to adjust to sleeping at night to blend in with people, but sleeps a lot better during the day. She wouldn't wear anything elaborate, just a top and tracksuit legs do just well for her. She listens to white noise to help her sleep.

Zeke likes to wear fluffy/thick, long sleeved pajamas to keep him warm. And he sleeps with a lot of blankets and pillows. He goes to bed the earliest of the three siblings- and sleeps the best.

Natalie's sleeping schedule is wonky since she tends to go out with friends at night. So, coming back home, she just throws on whatever she finds first and snoozes in that. Natalie's also the kind of person to wake up with half the blanket on the floor and sleeping upside down. She snores loudly.

Onika wears oversized t-shirts and shorts, and has her hair tied up as always. She goes to sleep fairly easily, but wakes up extremely early all the time. She likes to sleep up high, so she has a bunk bed. She uses the bottom bunk to dump all her stuff onto.

Choco Fish Cookie isn't too picky about what she wears to bed but likes night gowns. She reads a few pages of a book and hums to herself to help her fall asleep. She doesn't own any toys, so she hugs a pillow instead while she's sleeping. She's slept with her eyes open once or twice before.

Cici struggles sleeping a LOT. She has a mixture of maintenance insomnia and sleep apnea and sleeps for very few hours in a week. She keeps a nightlight on in her bedroom at all times. You'd most likely spot her in the kitchen making herself toast.

As promised i full color, I don't know why the paper reacted like that but oh well. 🤷‍♀️

All of them are either the deity got a body, Clover and "Shadow Milk", or had some sort of contract to share the body with the host.

Clover - out of the "siblings" he is the only one who got a body made for him, that night it wasn't only Dark Enchantress and White Lily that were created in the ultimate dough, consequently he got the looks of White Lily, even not liking her he can live with it.

"Shadow Milk", changed his name to Blueberry Yogurt [Water Hyacinth nicknamed him "Blue" because she thinks the name is a mouthful] - the only one who managed to take the body of the one of the first users, it was a desperate attempt because it was either be sealed alongside the original Shadow Milk or continue inside of that damned sugar crystal and hope that the next users were more easy to manipulate. After taking the body he dedicated his time to partially change his appearance to avoid being recognized and then to find someplace to live without worrying about being hunted and to plan on freeing his siblings.

Bloodberry, abandoned her previous name after hosting the deity - not much of her past is known but accordingly with Copper she is one of Hollyberry's descendants, she is from a line Hollyberry wants to pretend it doesn't exist, she planned to steal the shield on the day of the princess contest but when she got in contact with the soul jam she contacted the deity inside, she agreed on being it's host as a way to escape her bloodline and as a indirect revenge against Hollyberry, since now the soul jam is just a battery with constant use and someday it will end.

Smoked Cheese, later changed his name to Gouda Cheese - his contact came when he took the soul jam from Golden Cheese, the deity was already done with her using it's powers to power up her delusions and when he took it... let's say that the deity was impressed that someone broke the hidden obedience command Golden Cheese created and thought that he was the best choice as host, when the contract was done Smoked Cheese got his body back and found out that Burnt Cheese was alive and the one in the simulation was just a placeholder. After he went to search for him, even if the "golden kingdom" leaves a bitter taste in his mouth he wants to hold on something familiar in a unfamiliar world.

Dark Choco - the invasion on the castle went differently in this universe, Affogato had other issues and planned to destroy the Dark Cacao kingdom instead of taking the throne, in this universe he didn't trust Pomegranate, and in the midst of the mess he found the sword, he was supposed to be the original host but the deity also sympathize with Dark Choco, specially with wanting to make his father proud, let's say the deity saw red when Dark Cacao said that he didn't consider Choco his son anymore, after the possession Choco left much earlier than intended, ironically he encountered Affogato who, along with his followers, bowed to him and called him their master, turns out he was having visions of the deity coming to reality, along with them there was Milk Foam, a girl from the milk tribe who also was having the same visions, and people who she converted to the new cult, all of them left to find a place where they can live their lives in peace and away from the Dark Cacao kingdom.

All of the siblings meet later, Water Hyacinth accidentally collected them all and then created villages near the reasort so each one of them would have some semblance of power, except Clover because he is living on Parfaedia with Eclair, he keeps contact with his family.

Eyes: Amber with golden limbal rings

Skin: Umber (a bit lighter than his hair but in the same color family)

Hobbies: Reading, astrology (learned from his mom), botany and gardening, botanical drawing, alchemy, helping Kendra in the kitchen, knitting, letter writing.

— T R A I T S

Most Positive Trait: Orion has an inquisitive mind. His desire, not only to know but to fully understand phenomena has led him to several ground-breaking discoveries. And he does not hoard knowledge. He'll enthusiastically share his findings with anyone who cares to listen. He is also just as inquisitive and keen to understand in social situations, making him an empathetic and open-minded person in general.

Most Negative Trait: Orion has a deep-seated distrust of governments and other institutions of traditional authority. This is not without reason, or even some merit, but it can make him difficult to work with when it comes to large-scale endeavors.

— L I K E S

Colors: Blue, especially woad, ink, and rhotano blue / Green / White / Warm browns / Metalics, especially gold.

Drinks: Tea, especially oolong or pu-erh. If Orion does not have access to actual pu-erh, he will make an equivalent with the darkest Sharlayan-style tea blend he can find, a custom blend of additives he will not divulge, and karakul milk.

— O T H E R    D E T A I L S

Smokes: Medicinally smokes whatever variety of moko grass gets you stoned. He will also occasionally smoke tobacco socially, especially cigars.

Drinks: An adventurous but moderate drinker. He'll try anything at least once. He can occasionally be cajoled into heavier indulgence but that's abated as he's gotten older.

Drugs: There have been a few controlled "experiments" over the years.

Mount Issuance: Birdlegs is his primary mount that travels with him almost everywhere. The dusky, gigantic chocobo has become a bit of a legend in her own right. However, he does also technically have a yol as well, but has entrusted Cirina with his care because there's just not enough room on any of his properties for a bird of that size.

Been Arrested: For a mild-mannered professor type, Orion has been arrested so many times.

!!ID LIKE TO HEAR ABT PROJECT CHOCOLATIER

project chocolatier !! basically just whatever chocolat fes (!) had going on except theres no festival and they're just on a choco making show and are supposed to make chocolate as a team and then perform together afterwards I havent thought of the story too much tbh !!

dynamic wise tho !! It's just all the members kinda fucking up while cooking and ibara is like 'this is fine' while niki goes 'VICE PRESIDENT NO IT IS NOT' also the idea of tetora being in a cooking show with niki shiina is so. sweet to me I think they must interact happily ! it's mostly ibaniki being goofs (you can see it as romantic or platonic it doesn't matter) and kinda just involves them being friends . outside of working relationships . thru cooking . ibara opening up more . yeah . tetora blows up the kitchen probably and breaks makoto's glasses at some point too yeah

art concept for their outfits I dont exactly know what I was going but ! Something funky, modern, lots of hearts and reds and browns bc i imagine this to be a valentines day/white day themed shuffle :D

[fresh-outta-earthbread]

What happened to Dark Choco Cookie in the somber au?

Dark Choco Cookie is no longer with the Cookies of Darkness now that Timekeeper altered the timeline. He lives with the regret of not being able to stop his father from going sour the way he did. So now, after abandoning the Dark Cacao kingdom (which allows Affogato to step up as king), he's off on his journey to bring peace to Earthbread and get his father back.

Role wise, Dark Choco would take up something like White Lily's spot, except this time he's staying as part of the main gang and doesn't mean any ill will.

Pumpkaboo Commission for @tapioca-milktea1978

Never really done Pokémon art before except a regional form of Vanillite and its evolution a few years ago so this was a LOT of fun! And a dream of mine to succeed at it since I was a kid growing up with the first few seasons of Pokémon on telivision! (Yes, I’m that old and from that gen!) Decided to throw in the Shiny as a bonus since she— Nevermind, just got a notification while writing this, she sent me even more, you silly Tappy!! <3 I really appreciate it!! <3 ;3; Anyway!!! She got 8 files due to some details differences (with/without paper texture and with/without white outline) but you can see here the with and without paper texture! Enjoy the choco-mint ice cream! :3

[quibbs126]

Alright, this kid has been fully finished since like, Monday, I’ve just been too lazy to post him, but now I’m gonna post him, this is Black Choco Cookie

As you can see, this is yet another darklico kid. I’m sorry. But he’ll be the last one I do; I already semi had plans for him when I made Licorice Cream, it’s just that I decided to just do Licorice Cream. But then the night prior to making him, I was thinking about ideas for him and just drew this the next morning

The only other darklico kid thing I plan to do is redesign Gancao, since her look really doesn’t match her name, and it bothers me. Either that or her name changes. But fundamentally she’ll still be the same character

Anyways back to Black Choco, so with his name, he’s dark chocolate like his father. His name is just Black Choco because while he’s chocolate, he supposed to have this smell of licorice about him

Maybe he’s these chocolate licorice brownie cookies I found online that one time. But his name is still Black Choco

Anyways, let’s get into his design

So you’ll notice he looks very similar to Dark Choco except for the eyes. Well that’s because he’s the third one of these, and frankly I feel like the girls look enough like Licorice, so might as well have one of the kids be the Dark Choco clone like Dark Choco is to his own father. I think the fact he’s the third of these I’ve made is the only reason I allow him to look mostly like one parent and be the clone

But I finally gave one of them Licorice’s yellow eyes, so that’s good. I’ve been wanting one of them to have the yellow eyes and white eye lines since Gancao, it just didn’t work with her or Licorice Cream. Though I changed up the yellow slightly so that it’d work better with the white

I based Black Choco’s look off of the young design of Dark Choco in the artbook, since his sisters all look like they live in the Dark Cacao Kingdom too (the three are all supposed to exist in the same universe as siblings), and he’s supposed to want to be a fighter like his dad. Also with the brown it makes him look like the cookies I showed above. That wasn’t the intention but I like that

I think the way his hair looks was supposed to be inspired by how Licorice’s hair, like specifically in how it’s parted or something, but looking at it again I can’t really see that

I just realized the drawing I have of Black Choco here is with his gradient. I wasn’t sure if I should give him one; I did it so he’d look at least a little closer to Licorice, but I wasn’t sure it worked well. Ah well, I suppose you tell me

Anyways, so let’s get into his character

So Black Choco is a shy and a bit anxious kid, as well as someone who gets spooked easily, as shown in one of the sketches. He’s also generally quiet and soft spoken, not very capable of loud noises. But despite his timid nature, he’s a good kid who just wants to help people

He greatly admires his father, Dark Choco, and wants to be like him, which is part of the reason he wants to be a warrior. Thankfully for Black Choco, I imagine Dark Choco to be more openly affectionate than Dark Cacao was, so Black Choco isn’t gonna grow up with those same parental issues. But unfortunately, Black Choco isn’t as great with a sword and fighting, especially since he tends to accidentally drop his sword. But he does want to learn, and he tries hard to overcome this

Despite this however, he does know magic, and he’s actually very skilled at it, far more than he is at fighting. However, he chooses instead to become a warrior. Perhaps in the future, he learns to try and do both, combining his skills and becoming a warrior that uses both sword fighting skills and magic, becoming a real powerhouse

Now, as for his connection to his siblings, I’m not sure, as some of it depends on his age compared to them. I want to make Black Choco Licorice Cream’s twin, probably since I imagined Black Choco as a child and I drew Licorice Cream as one too, but also I don’t think I can really do that since Licorice Cream herself has a particularly unique origin, one that Black Choco doesn’t necessarily fit in to. Not only that, but I think I drew Licorice Cream as a child because I couldn’t figure out what to do for her other than her origin and possible connection to dark magic and the Strawberry Jam Sword. She’s technically supposed to be the older than Gancao, and I imagine Black Choco to be a child. But at the same time, I can really see Black Choco and Licorice Cream as a twin duo, and I like that concept, especially since personality wise, they’re pretty different, Licorice Cream being an extrovert while Black Choco is the introvert, for example. But it just doesn’t work with what Licorice Cream actually is

*sigh* I think I’m gonna need to do a redesign with all three of them, putting them on the same canvas and figuring out definitively what order they’re in and their ages relative to one another. Though Black Choco I don’t see changing much, he’s fine as he is

I suppose for now, Black Choco is the youngest of the three

But in any case, I think that’s it for Black Choco. To be honest, I feel like sometimes, I put too much into these characters and should just try to keep them simple, which is sort of what I tried to do with Black Choco here

But in any case, I hope you like him

A Half-Gem Boy’s Adventures In The Creek: Chapter six

Friday night came around, Steven was getting dressed, he wore jeans, and he was trying to find a perfect shirt to wear, but he couldn’t find anything. Steven walked out of his bedroom and walked into his father’s room, Steven didn’t have a shirt on so his gem was exposed Greg wasn’t in his room.

Steven walked downstairs but he wasn’t anywhere in the house, So he went to the basement.

He walked down the pure white carpeted steps to the basement. He looked at it, the basement was empty, except for a couple of beanbags that his father and Duane bought, Greg was sitting on a beanbag chair

“Hey, Dad! Can you come to my room?”

“Sure, what’s up?”

“I don’t know what to wear. And this is our first concert at the creek.”

“Alright. Show me your closet.” Greg said, walking up the stairs and to the ground level of the house, then they walked up the stairs to Steven’s room. Greg looked through the many articles of clothing that were in his closet. Greg found it. He showed Steven a nice pink button-down shirt that was hung up.

“How about this, buddy?” Greg smiles.

“That’s perfect! thanks, Dad!” he said slipping it on him and butting up the buttons. “Should I do something with my hair?” he asked him after he finished putting on his shirt.

Steven received a text from Buck, Jenny, and Sour Cream that they were waiting outside in their car.

“Bye, Dad!” he said hugging him.

“Bye, Schu-Ball have fun!” Greg called out waving as he saw his son run out the door. Greg walked downstairs and into the living room and stared at the portrait of his late girlfriend. “Oh, Rose. I wish that you were here to see Steven…He’s growing up to be an amazing young man.” He said, sitting on the couch and turning on the TV, the portrait hanging above him — a constant reminder that she was always there watching over her boyfriend and son.

“Okay, guys. We have everything set up. Kit has her snacks set up for everyone, I went to my friend's house and he said that we can borrow his drum set. Steven, the drum set is connected to a pulley system over there and it can be lifted to the treehouse. Think you can handle it?” Craig asked. Steven did a salute, ran to the pully system, and pulled the drum set to the treehouse deck.

The Cool Kids grabbed it and set it up behind their instruments. Steven climbed the ladder and picked up his guitar. He turned on the amplifier and the speakers that controlled the sound for the microphone, Steven walked up to the microphone and adjusted the stand to his height.

They practiced a song and smiled when they got it down.

We're ready.

🌳⭐️💎🌳⭐️💎🌳⭐️💎🌳⭐️💎🌳⭐️💎⭐️

Kids of the creek were all at the King’s Keep for the event. Steven was tuning his guitar, Jenny was on drums, and Sour Cream was going to be recording the whole thing on his video camera that his mom bought him before coming to Maryland.

Buck was on bass guitar playing a few notes to see if everything was tuned correctly. Steven tapped the microphone and cleared his throat. “Check, check,” Steven said, Craig was holding a choco roll in his hand as he looked up.

They were ready.

“Hello everyone, we are the. What are we called?” Steven asked. Buck walked over and whispered in his ear and he smiled.

“Steven Quartz and The Cool Kids!” the crowd cheered loudly. Steven strummed his guitar and began playing the notes to the song. Then, he starts talking into the microphone. "This is a song summing up my life being with the Crystal Gems in the last couple of months and then moving here, and this concert is sponsored by The Trading Tree, owned and operated by Kit.” He said as he sang the lyrics.

“I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface

Don't know what you're expecting of me

Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)”

Steven sang, and then when he got to the chorus, he began to play his heart out, pouring his heart and soul into this one song. Plus, all the negative feelings that he kept trapped within him. But at the same time, he has a lot to learn about his gem heritage and his mother.

“I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

Become so tired

So much more aware

I'm becoming this

All I want to do

Is be more like me

And be less like you”

His mind was a total blank now. All he could do was focus on singing and giving the kids of the creek a good time.

“Can't you see that you're smothering me

Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?

'Cause everything that you thought I would be

Has fallen apart right in front of you”

Everyone in the Creek were cheering, dancing, singing, and recording on their phones and or just eating candy and snacks and having a good time. Steven sang without thinking about anything else.

“Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

Become so tired

So much more aware

I'm becoming this

All I want to do

Is be more like me

And be less like you

And I know

I may end up failing too

But I know

You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

Become so tired

So much more aware

I'm becoming this

All I want to do

Is be more like me

And be less like you

I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)”

Steven finished the song and everyone cheered. He grins and bows. Steven ran down the stairs as Craig, Kelsey, and JP ran up to him and hugged him, knocking him down. Omar stood by his friends, drinking a small bottle of the red Hawaiian punch.

“Good song, Universe! That was awesome!” he said. Steven beamed as he took the compliments from his friends.

Steven and his friends had a good time at the Creek until his father enrolled him in the school year the following August.

Boozo’s ghost by Martin Walls who inspired me to do this story and created the song Accept your mistakes which I’m going to feature in my post.

I will also do instructions for when to play the song and to stop reading until it’s finished before continuing.

Warning(s)⚠️: Gulliver being a huge jerk, bad work environment, mentions of death of a loved one from a main character even though it didn’t actually happen, abuse, and mentions of body shaming. Long ass post because I literally worked on this in the summer of 2022, Please don’t read this to harm yourself and/or others

It was a snowy Christmas Eve, the snowy breeze sways as the snowflakes come to play.

Usually at this time children are asleep waiting for old Saint Nick to stuff stockings and leave gifts under the tree, most shops are closed for the holidays except for one, the store called Clover green cottage that is owned by Gulliver J. Ebenezer who was so greedy and selfish it one day lead to dire consequences and some special visitors you’ll read about today, so grab your cookies and hot choco (unless you’re lactose intolerant or just don’t like them, pretend it’s something else) and prepare to dive in.

Daryna was jus sweeping around the shop until a pleasant smell caressed her nose, it was the smell of freshly baked Christmas sugar cookies along with hot chocolate with a hint of peppermint bark. The smell basically pulling her towards the source like a cartoon character, her face then planted into a beefy chest and then she fell back and knocked down the massive tip jar, shattering it and letting the money fly.

“Oh my goodness! I’m so terribly sorry sir, I wasn’t paying attention!

“Oh no it’s fine, it’s my fault I was too busy looking around at the wonderful items on display I’m so sorry sweetheart. Are you okay? Are you hurt?

“No I’m fine, again I’m terribly sorry for bumping into you- ”

“DARYNA! What the hell is going on here?”

“I’m so sorry boss I accidentally knocked into the customer and knocked the tip jar down, I’m going to pick it up.”

Gulliver face palms at the scatterbrained woman in front of him, giving her the “you stupid bitch” look and then turning to the handsome white haired man with raven tips with a strained but customer friendly smile.

“ I greatly apologize for my employee’s little mistake, I promise you a 25% off discount for your troubles.”

“And you” he said facing the brunette chubby Ukrainian woman, “ I need to speak to you real quick before you pick up okay?” “Yes sir.” Said Daryna as her little pink lips trembled and hazel eyes filled with fear. The pristine white haired man noticed this as well as the ginger haired man with gradient purple tips and eyes who was around the corner, not too far behind from his friend. They looked at the poor woman with pity, it took them most of their strength to not snap the shit brown haired man’s neck. Before following her boss into the back she told the customers to be careful of the broken glass, both the man and the Ukrainian woman went to the back, entering the employees only room.

“Daryna you stupid bitch you do nothing but embarrass me, you’re lucky that I’m desperate otherwise I would have fired your bitch ass”

“Sir please forgive me, I didn’t mean to bump into him.”

“Sorry! Sorry! Your nothing but sorry! I don’t understand how your husband could ever stand you with your fat ass and ugly mug!” seethed Gulliver who is too angry to process his words.

“ Maybe that’s why your husband is dead, he couldn’t stand your scatterbrained self and hung himself because of it.”

Daryna felt as if she was stabbed many times in her heart, tears starting to flow down her rosy cheeks, she tried to talked but the only thing that came out her mouth was choked sobs, she then looked at her ring, or her mother in law’s ring, her husband couldn’t afford to buy her a proper engagement ring so he offered one of his valuable things, his mamas ring to proposed his undying love for her.

Reference for her ring:

“And one more thing before you go back to work, I’m cutting off your check.”

“P-Please don’t sir!”

“I am.”

“Please sir I beg you! I need to feed my sons!”

“ Maybe if you weren’t so scatterbrained and plump, you could actually get paid more and hired by other big shots!”

Daryna fell to her knees and cried until her lungs gave out, Gulliver then gives her liquid foundation, “Stop that crying and tidy yourself up, you have work to do, now if you excuse me, I going to fix the mess you’ve made.” Little did both the man and woman know there was a man outside their window eavesdropping on them. When they both got back, the mess is gone and there’s a new jar that is filled with the fallen tip money. “You know it’s a good thing my friend Yin here purchased this jar from the shop before, it’s really handy, thanks again Yin.” “No problem Yang.” Beamed the ginger haired man. “Hey you, what’s your name.” “Daryna.” “What a lovely name, can I talk to you over there.” Yin said as he pointed to the hall that’s in the back of the store where the bathrooms and the employees only room is. “Uh sure.?” Daryna then followed him to the hallway.

When they got there, he gently directed her to the bathroom. “Um sir, May I ask why are we in the bathrooms.” “To make sure your boss doesn’t hear our conversation.” “Anyways I have something for you.” Yin than reach for his hoodie pocket and pulled out a $100 and gave it to Daryna. “Oh my goodness! Thank you so much!” “Your welcome little lamb, make sure you hide it from your boss.” Daryna then turned around and unbuttoned her shirt and putted the $100 in her bra by her left boob then buttoned her shirt back up and thanked the ginger haired man once again. “Oh and one more thing.” Jeff Yin then pulled a small medical kit and squatted down, he then put Neosporin and small bandaids on the little cuts on her ankles that she didn’t even knew were there. “Oh! Thank you so much I didn’t even see those.” Yin gave her a small smile before heading out. When they got back, Yin and Yang took their leave. “Daryna?” “Yes boss?” “Why did that man pull you into the back?” “Oh he was just patching up my cuts, see.” Daryna showed her boss her bandaids. “Ok, now go get your shit we are closing.” Daryna wasted no time and packed her shit and ran out the door with the speed of light. Before Gulliver was able to flip the sign to “sorry we’re closed” a feminine man of 5’2 and a 1/2, almost to 5’3 with reddish brown hair walked in with a medium cardboard box with a doodle of different colored stick figures holding hands around the Earth. The man walked up to Gulliver, her hips swaying as he walked, he then gave him her brightest smile. “Hello sir may I help you?” “ Hello sir, merry Christmas, I’m Aubrey and I’m trying to make donations to help the unfortunate so they have better lives and I came here to ask you if you would donate, well if you want to?”

Gulliver then reached into the box and pulled out a wad of cash and took the three $1 out and put it back in the box and put the rest in his pocket. “HEY! WHAT THE HELL MAN!!” “That was for wasting my time, now leave before I call the police, I’m too tired for more bullshit.” The man was about to say some thing but cut himself off, her complete heterochromia eyes sparked a bright but eerie light then he turned around towards the door and looked back at Gulliver. “Go burn in hell old man.” He then left out the store with a sour mood but smiled at the tall purple haired man who looked at him with love in his ruby eyes, the tall purple haired man turned to look at Gulliver’s store then at Gulliver and then gave him the most shit pants scary death glare and mouths out “you’re dead old man” then walk away with his love. Gulliver then flipped the sign and then turned all of the four locks and went to the door that said “Customer and employees keep out!” and took his other key out and unlocked it. He then lock the door with the same amount of locks as well another door on his right, after that he went up the stairs and into his cozy apartment. Gulliver wasted no time to put his sleep wear on and went to his bed.

Reference for his sleepwear:

He closed his eye finally embracing sleep. . .

Ok what the hell was that noise. Gulliver woke up from a small clatter in his living room, he then picked up his hand gun making sure it was full and then left his room to go see what is the commotion that disturbed him from his sleep. Keeping his guard up he walked into the living room only to find it was beautifully decorated by Christmas decorations, this confused the man, he doesn’t celebrate Christmas. . .

He looked around the apartment, keeping his guard up to make sure the intruder doesn’t attack out of no where. There was nobody but him in the apartment. He then came back to the presents, he put his ear on each one to make sure there was no ticking of a bomb. He then hesitantly picked up a blue box with a purple ribbon and on the box were purple worms on a string but without the string. He then slowly opened it, the present then revealed a cute plush of a clown with a jester hat.

The plushie:

He picked it up to feel the soft material, it smelled of raspberry and grape candies and the sent was not too strong so it was pleasant. Then his living room was now a void of darkness and his hand gun was gone. He pinched himself only to find out he wasn’t dreaming. In front of him appeared a door with a clown man with purple hair and a Jester hat with bells. The clown man had a frown on his face and tear drop make up. A fluffy blue worm on a string decorated the silver doorknob. He hesitantly walked forward and opened the door to reveal the same void but there is a giant gift box, the box is white with a pink ribbon for the bow. As Gulliver walked over to the box, he heard sobbing. “Hello?” Then the box lifted only a little bit to reveal a pair of eyes, they were dark voids with pure white light as pupils. The box lifted to reveal a sad clown man. His nose is painted purple and had black tear drop makeup, his bottom lip was bluish black. the bells on his hat wear silver, his outfit basically matched the plushie’s outfit except he has real bells and the colors are blue and purple. He also had worm on a string earrings, the purple on his right and blue on his left. (He also had the the scars Varai have on his face.) the clown man looked at Gulliver, sniffing a bit and rubbing his eyes. “Hey there. . . Um how are you?” The clown man just stared at him basically giving him the 😐 face. Gulliver is not good at comforting people. He never gotten the experience himself

“So do you want to talk about it, also who are you?” “. . .”

“I am the Sad ghost of past experiences, I’m also known as Melancholy, and I’m crying because you’ve stolen and lied.” The clown man’s voice was echoey and with every word he spoke there was a chime of a music box but it didn’t come from the large box in front of him. “I know everything that you’ve done, why did you do those terrible deeds.

Gulliver just stands there trying to find an answer for even his self, he can feel his heart racing.

“No I didn’t?” That’s not the answer Sad wanted and it’s not the answer he wanted either. Melancholy just sighed. (Keep scrolling when the song is done.)

Sad then continued to show Gulliver’s past, and telling him there might be some time left to change and to fix everything and to also get some help that he needs.

Yet Gulliver is too stubborn and confused.

To be continued on Christmas morning.
