Do you ship Purelily?

Sort of? Not really? I view their relationship through a very specific lens:

I think they mutually liked each other when they were young, maybe even had an actual relationship. But when Lily started to pursue her ideals of the origins of cookies, the witches' motivations, increasing the survivability of their species, etc, more and more, PV got worried. He dreaded who she was becoming, and his feelings for her began to wane. He didn't feel like this was "the lily he knew".

But PV is nothing if not forgiving. He convinced himself this was a phase she was going through, that she'd eventually figure out that this pursuit of strength and knowledge was fruitless and dangerous, and messing with dark moon magic was doubly so. But when Lily received her soul jam of freedom, her determination to learn more and be more only got stronger. She was (metaphorically) a new cookie now, but PV was still attached to the Lily he first fell in love with. He told himself that Lily was fine, just exploring things she shouldn't be for a little while, and then she'd get back to being the sweet, curious girl he thought he knew.

And then she died. Her pursuits led her to fall into the ultimate dough, and even then, PV refused to admit to himself that maybe Lily had changed before that.

When Lily was half brought back to life in the faerie kingdom, PV assumed she'd be herself again. She'd learn her lesson after dying at the hands of the witches, and everything could just be normal. But she still held her beliefs, and was still too different for PV. In an ideal world, they would've gotten the chance to talk through this, but some blue guy just crawled out of a tree to terrorize everyone's minds and that kind of takes precedent unfortunately!

Even now, with her being back, he yearns for who she used to be. He ignores the traits of hers that he finds undesirable, because he doesn't like that someone he loved so much has become someone who so adamantly craves something he disagrees with. I also think PV has a bit of a saviour complex as a subconscious defence mechanism against his own insecurities. He probably isn't aware of this specific feeling he has, but he doesn't like that Lily is so much more independent now. He liked being someone who could provide for her, who could protect her and guide her, and make her feel welcome when other cookies didn't, but she just doesn't need that anymore. She doesn't need him. And that makes him panic. Who is he if he is not needed? What's the point of him if he can't be useful? How can he possibly be of any worth to Lily if she doesn't feel the need to rely on him in some way?

He wants to be a benevolent, strong, kind leader; the kind of leader who loves all of his friends, no matter how they grow and change, but he just feels too differently about Lily to love her in the same way he once did. He's in denial. And he knows he is. Lily does too. That's the basis of their separation at the spire of deceit's entrance.

Their paths don't align in a literal sense, wherein they both have important physical goals that need to be achieved before the war kicks off, but their paths also don't align in a mental sense. They aren't partners anymore. They want different things. They care about different things. Neither wants to admit that they've both become cookies who aren't compatible anymore, but neither wants to change for the sake of the other, either. They still cherish each other, but not in the same way they used to.

So TLDR, no, I don't ship purelily. BUT I do think it was canon behind-the-scenes at some point in their past, and their feelings for each other is a critical part of both of their characters (and I think a lot of fan works are really sweet, I understand the appeal of the ship).

PureMilk/ShadowVanilla AU List.

I still have no free time from school so once I do I’ll put a link or just make separate blogs for each AUs I made (mostly by accident). This post is just a reminder to not only others but also myself on what I made so far.

I was inspired to constantly post my ideas after many months ago I watch a video of GinjaninjaOwO/June where she mentions that she doesn’t want to die with her ideas. I also don’t want to die with my ideas and I’m a small guy. I just want my weird ideas to be seen even if it’s hated or liked.

Note: In all this AUs I tried my best to mix both the in game PVSM and the fandom one (the ones that are commonly used) so it would be a bit fun but also grounded. I want to also say I have played crk since 2022, I stop at the start of golden cheese arc and came back to shadow milk. So I have a lot of catching up, this is the first time I interacted with the fandom. I need to mention that since I don’t want others to tell me again that I ruin these characters.

CondensedMilkAU/EvaporatedExtractAU

An AU where it focuses mostly on the Sage of Truth and how he balance his life between his usual work and his new life of being a Mother of two demon children while trying to live a normal cookie.

It takes place many many years after his first meeting with the Truthless Recluse.

It was made by accident after the concept of a burnt out Sage was made and it was later developed into its own thing.

The CondensedMilkAU is the original name of the AU based on the concept/doodle comics that uses the characters of the Burntout Sage/Mama Berry with his children the Demon/Devil Siblings.

The first comics and other comics that are doodle drawn under the CondensedMilkAU tag are the concept ideas where we explore possible stories for these characters. Think of it like those early cartoon logic where continuity ain’t really taken seriously but some mentioned events pop out from time to time or info may not make sense as it’s being made.

The EvaporatedExtract is more of a story where I try to make an actual storyline /Game concept based on whats mentioned in the CondensedMilkAU.

It has a lot changed from the CondensedMilkAU but the main concept of the Sage getting burnt out and living a double life to feel alive as Mama Berry remain.

The only change I know that will remain that differentiate it from the CondensedMilkAU:

The Siblings (BlackSapphiCookie and CandyAppleCookie) are adults now but still under the guardianship of the Sage.

Truthless Recluse being a focus of the tutorial guide for the Sage. In this story, TR has done the double life premise before Sage.

The story may have the original Fluff of the CondensedMilkAU but it will explore the dark and degenerate part that can be possible. For example being CandyAppleCookie’s obsession, in the CondensedMilkAU it’s more of an admiration for the Sage but in the EvaporatedExtractAU her admiration is obsession and if not in checked, her actions towards the Sage/Mama Berry would be dangerous and degenerate. Making even the siblings a threat to the Sage.

The Sage was hinted to have done evil stuff before as he weaponizing the truth, it’s just now we get to see him trying to repent for his sins. (I’m not sure if the evil was done by the Sage unintentionally or intentionally).

I had a dream before about a ShadowVanilla AU where it involves making consequence decision matters. We call it the Umbrella..something dream since it has PV breaking and entering another school to get WhiteLilys Umbrella back at night. It has him and Shadow milk exploring the curse school at night and the events made them open to each (I took the concept of it being a game with consequences and apply it to the EvaporatedExtractAU)

There’s a lot that is in this AU but that’s the Summary since not all is set in stone.

This AU was made during late March 2025 or early April 2025. After the release of the SoT and TR skins.

DosedofNightShadeAU/ Sanrio ShadowVanilla/OldManFount/3PM_AU

This concept was originally made an as excuse to draw Pure Vanilla and Shadow Milk in the modern AU still as cookies but the settings are like the April fools. It is an excuse as well to draw them in cute dresses and outfits.

I accidentally made a fanfic of these two loving Kuromi(PV) and MyMelody(SM) after my brain try to debate itself as to why they’d wear the theme Sanrio clothes.

It was based on the concept of “opposites attract” and how similar Kuromi and My Melody are to PVSM in where Kuromi does like to be My Melodys friend but is pissed then her jester clothing, her gang, her parallels to My Melody. Then for My Melody it’s her caring nature and openness to others but a bit aloof. Making PV attracted to Kuromi themes and SM to My Melody is like making them unconsciously into each other or the personality and style that reminded them of the other cookie.

Days after I made the Fanfic I did a doodle of what if The Fount of Knowledge, The Sage of Truth and Shadow Milk are siblings in a modern “human” AU. The headcanons given by the people that comment that initial post inspire me to make a PV version.

Fount was only made after the poll of making him look more motherly type than cutesy

It was supposed to be just two PVs since I always see Classic PV and Awaken PV as one being and TR being his own thing but others are sad that the Fount has no PV of his own. One suggested the Fortune Teller and all hell breaks loose in my green pea sized brain.

The story as of right now compare to the previous AU since it’s made in Mid/Late April of 2025 as a brainrot.

The only concept is ShadowVanilla(Sanrio)in where they are the most healthiest and the kinkest, FountFortune are the middle ground, in where they are the horrors but also hurt comfort. Then SageRecluse, the weirdest and creepiest one, probably dead dove do not eat and any content with those two STAYS IN THE PRIVATE ACCOUNTS.

One concept though I want to keep is that all three SMilks are not innocent. Shamil committed bullying and harassment before, Sage made students go insane due to academics and his ego, Fount committed war crimes that even the police are afraid of him.

I saw floatinglittlestars tag for the AU being 3smpvau which is easy to remember which I love but I know there’s a lot of AUs from other artist that has 3 SM and PV in it.. so gonna call it 3PM_AU like 3:00 pm in the morning where they do something funky. (Especially Fount and Fortune). Though I really like the 3smpvau a lot. It’s very easy to remember

Those two are the ones I can say are AUs. There’s a Fable one but that’s not completely develop since I’ll only finish one of that once the poll is done and my hell is over.

[mysterious-meat-cake]

First post on here and it's a rant!! If you want more cool takes you should totally follow me as I'll be posting here more often and have totally cool art to share‼️‼️

I'm not completely sure how to tag this? I'm talking about the ships in a positive light so I think it's okay, and besides, I want lots of peeps to see it, I'm aware I probably won't change many people's minds at all, but it's okay lol, I just want Anti's to see they genuinely have a nothing burger and need to leave people alone.

This is a mostly TikTok only problem regarding Beast x Ancient's (thank god) but I've seen my fair share elsewhere like on here. So lemme counter every argument I've seen so far cause you got a lot of time on your hands to be telling people to off themselves over Cookie ships 😭 put that hate into people who actually deserve it.

BILLFORD COMPARISON

Regarding ShadowVanilla specifically, people have compared the ship a lot from both sides, but what really got me is what I've seen here:

"Shadow Milk Cookie is way worse than Bill! He drove Pure Vanilla to insanity! He tortured him!"- This is in regards to how people bring up the fact Anti's are fine with one thing but not the other when it's basically the same thing they're against. Psychological, physical, mental, and emotional torture. I'll be honest I haven't watched Gravity Falls whatsoever, but my friend has, and from what she says, yeah Bill is the definition of a cruel and unusual punishment. He's done some crazy things, absolutely heinous, might even be a little worse than Shadow Milk or on the same level, either way though-

You can't like one thing and then not the other, it's different flavors of the same thing, it's hypocritical. Either you hate them both or you hate neither.

"Those are 2 different fandoms!"- Doesn't matter, it's the same thing, just different media, it's not different whatsoever aside from the universe, there's much torture involved on both ends.

ABUSER X VICTIM

This one I've seen A LOT and I'm just ??

"If you ship Beast x Ancient's you support Abuser x victim btw"- That's a STRETCH. You are reaching FAR. Nobody is romanticizing the abuse, nobody is normalizing it, it's stuff that happened in canon and we acknowledge it but nobody is doing any of that other stuff. I'm not condoning anyone in real life to do that shit lol. It's called exploring, they have an interesting dynamic, romantic or platonic, two sides of the same coin. You can say the same thing about horror movies, they put a lot of disturbing stuff in there. Do the movie producers CONDONE any of that stuff? Obviously not. Goes for Devsisters too, they don't condone body mutilation yet they still made Burning Spice rip off Cheese's wings.

But even so, for the people who DO like it for the angst, I won't say fiction doesn't affect reality because it does in many cases, but this isn't one of them. Not every relationship is going to be peachy and perfect, just like in real life. I can give an example on this one too actually.

GoldenLily, they aren't condoning what Lily (technically) did to Golden Cheese's kingdom, but they like it for all the potential, complicated feelings and emotions that come along with it.

Also, that's basically the same thing with Beasts x Ancients, just turn it around to enemies to lovers.

"This isn't Villain x hero, this is abuser x victim"- Are you saying MOST of media is abuser x victim then? This is in fact a typical hero x Villain trope, it's nothing new. Respectfully, you guys freak out when a Villain does villain stuff, I'd be surprised if there was a villain who DIDN'T cause any trauma for the opposing party. But according to this logic, media is just dead, no more fanfiction, no more what ifs, no more content since it's all apparently problematic and not canon. Even if somebody switches stuff up in an AU, and makes things completely fluffy, that's apparently still not enough.

"oh you had to make an AU to ship them because you know it's toxic"- No, it's just playing around with scenarios. Learn to separate fanon from canon. This specifically goes for the redeemed AU's I see of the Beasts, people still complain, they act as if people can't change. One of the biggest examples I have of that is FlutterCord, Discord did plenty of messed up things, but in the end, he still managed to change. You'll still get burned at the stake for it though.

"You must be an abuser yourself to condone this!!"- Extremely disrespectful and a WILDDD take. Need I say more??

"I ship Beast x Beast rather than Beast x Ancient's"- According to your logic, the Beasts are abusers right? And if we followed the same story, they are not mentally well whatsoever. You'd rather ship 2 dangerously mentally unstable characters together who'd just make each other worse? Destroy each other? Fuck each other up beyond belief? It doesn't make sense does it, nor is it fair for y'all to praise these ships but hate on the others. You like watching the cookies crumble huh 😭

CANON

"The ship isn't canon!"- We know that, everyone should know that. With what I said earlier, please learn to separate fanon from canon. That's what a fandom is, we do non-canon stuff, it's very fun, you should try it.

"It's a Proship/Dark ship!"- Going the canon route, Beasts are Eons old, Ancients are thousands of years old. Big gap yes, but nonetheless all of them are old as fuck. Older than bloodlines. Treating the Ancients as if they aren't grown adults. You're intentionally trying to make it weird. Stop calling ships you don't like proships please.

Also a little off topic but please don't listen to everyone you interact with on TikTok?? I remember one time I was scrolling through a comment section and saw somebody say "Doesn't Mystic Flour Cookie hate Burning Spice Cookie?" On a MysticSpice vid, looked in the replies, somebody asked for proof/where it was implied, and they didn't answer 💀 just blatantly spreading misinformation. Sources around you are way more reliable than people who don't back up their claims.

CONCLUSION

Even despite all this, you still have the right to feel how you wanna feel. Just please stop harassing people for simple stuff like this, in all honesty, I feel like it's more about seeing one of your favorite characters shipped with somebody who hurt them in canon that makes peeps upset. Which I can totally understand because I used to be exactly like that, I LIVEEEE for Dark Cacao Cookie, when Mystic Flour's update came out, I wanted her dead. Quite literally blocked someone because I couldn't stand seeing their MysticCao art. Hated what she did to my baby boy fr.

But then It started growing on me, over time, I just realized it was never that serious.

Even so, notice how I still didn't go out of my way to harass said person about it because I specifically didn't like it? It really is that easy. Block and go about your day.

I also suspect this because of stuff like this 💀

Love that person who replied, but it's not that hard y'all. We all can in fact, get along.

ANYWAYSSSS thanks to those who took the time read, I love you my pookies hope you have a good day or night💕💕

[faemytho]

finally got a design down for him that im happy with. its busy. but i like it!!

shadow milk faerie from my shadowvanilla fic and au, In The Eye of the Vanilla Beholder :3

wings down vers + more notes under the cut

i wanted to incorporate blueberry shapes, + his jester motif, + blueberry yogurt academy styled robes. hope i got it all!

the butterfly he's based on is the blue morpho. his wings are an example of bilateral gynandromorphism; the darker wings are female wings, and the brighter ones are male wings. that's also why he's got two different dough colors!

[milkamel]

Sis y'know I kinda wanna brighten your mood so pls yap bout your ShadowVanilla hcs :3 (love it when u do so ngl)

(also rate this pic pls,,, is it canon to our rp??)

Omg bro I literally love you so much I can't describe that with words <3 Thank you for granting me this opportunity it won't go to waste let me write a list of headcanons that spawned in my head/I accidentally borrowed from other people fhgfhjgjhgf

A lot of text ahead, you have been warned

When it comes to pet names PV either calls Smilk by his name or uses gentle names like 'sweetheart' or 'bluebird' (due to his love for those birds too), while Smilk prefers to just use nicknames like 'Nilly', 'Vanilly', 'Nilla', etc because they feel more..personal and original I guess?

PV has much more relationship experience while Smilk has.. none, since before the corruption he was focused on his duty as the Fount of Knowledge and didn't have an opportunity to connect with someone and after that he was stuck in a tree for all those years and PV had a few crushes or relationships before;

PV is taller than SMilk (not by a lot, but enough to notice) so Smilk prefers to float and hide that embarrassing fact. PV definitely knows but doesn't call him out on it;

At first Smilk saw PV's compassion as weakness and naivety but gradually post-redemption changed his point of view and he started to see it as a strength because no matter what PV stood by his ideals no matter how much he got hurt. It's hard not to resent someone to hurt you and find the strength to understand and forgive;

Despite being incredibly smart and wise Smilk's knowledge on some things is a bit outdated. Pure Vanilla tries his best to help and update him on some information even if he struggles sometimes as well (they're both old af, they will never catch up to the modern slang I fear);

PV always has warm hands and Smilk's are always cold. When they cuddle it's a perfect balance;

Smilk is very clingy and needy though he'd never admit that out loud but PV understands what he needs without words and makes sure to spend a lot of time together even if it's something tiny. He makes sure to keep his promise and don't leave SMilk on his own for a long time;

They occasionally read together, though it's more of Smilk reading out loud and PV listening to his voice. It reminds Smilk of the days he used to do lectures but in Pure Vanilla's company it's comforting, he lets his old 'scholar' persona slip;

PV tends to overwork himself/hide his issues and Smilk frequently calls him out on that and makes sure he eats and sleeps while denying that he cares about him;

Smilk struggles with emotions and showing affection and sometimes doesn't fully realize that what he's doing is wrong and toxic due to isolation and his shaky mental state. The best example of that is with his treatment of Truthless Recluse I guess;

Okay so that's all for now I can't think of more stuff- phew once again ty for letting me yap <3

(yes, sadly, that pic is canon to our rp- ..what about the sprite I made? Tell me in dms :) )

[burningcheese-merchant]

So there's this Shadowvanilla fic on Ao3 Im fairly certain you know about, and in It SM and PV link up to eachother's minds/feelings/souls via their souljams touching, and its pretty sweet since since they're on their chests, the two basically have to hug to connect.

Which made me think, what about the other beasts and ancients? BS and GC would be by far the weirdest imo bc she would have to touch her forehead to his chest??? Which depending on the size difference It could still just be a hug.

SS and WL would touch their weapons (sword and staff), which can comes off as distant or cold, despite the fact they're about to peer into eachother's very being.

ES and MF suffer because their's are on their forehead and their ancient's are on their weapons😭�� imagine HB shield to EG's forehead, that'd be awkward af

I'm not actually sure what you're referring to 😅 is it Jambound? I think something like that happens in it? I don't really remember, I read the first 3 chapters a while ago and that's it haha (I really don't have the time to read fanfics, especially not ones as long as that one (it's like 15 chapters long now and still going with no end in sight, isn't it??? Goodness)). I never really did much of anything on AO3 tbh, I honestly just go there to write and post my own dumb garbage and then vanish into the aether again

Regardless. I always vibed with the concept of the Ancients and Beasts connecting/strengthening their existing connection through their Soul Jams. But the way I've tried to get around the fact that most of their placements are... cumbersome and don't really lend themselves to that (White Lily's staff and Silent Salt's sword, for example) is, I think of it as... Through the sharing of the Soul Jams, they're all already bound to one another, yeah? So do they NEED to have them be a component in the physical aspect of this? Do White Lily and Silent Salt NEED to have their staff and sword clink together to express that intimacy? Or can they simply embrace each other nice and tight, staff and sword set aside nearby, and their souls can resonate just with that action? The Soul Jam not physically being in their hands doesn't really mean it's left their ownership and they've completely lost access to its power, I don't think; we saw that with how the Light of Abundance refused to answer to Smoked Cheese when he took it, and how Golden Cheese could keep fighting Burning Spice for a while even without it (albeit weaker). So idk if they need the Soul Jams to touch so they can feel closer to each other. I think they've all been naturally imbued with that power at least to some degree and thus don't really 100% need the physical Soul Jams to facilitate that closeness. If I'm already super glued to somebody then not putting my hands on their belt buckle or whatever isn't going to make us any less stuck together ykwim

With that said I like to imagine BS's being particularly sensitive since it's embedded in his chest. GC can press her hand down on it, or lay her head against it, and feel his heart beating through it, if only faintly. Maybe it feels warm to the touch, and grows warmer and shines brighter the faster his heart races. Maybe his breath catches in his throat when she touches it because it feels different there than it does when she touches any other part of his body. Maybe it acts as a cute little nightlight when they're curled up together in bed. Maybe it burns hot like a coal and glows like the fire in a hearth when they're deep in the throes of passion. Maybe, as a charming little gesture, she actually will touch her forehead to his chest so they can listen to that soft little clink that sounds the little kiss Abundance and Destruction shares. Maybe a certain something stirs within them both when she does it, maybe not. But it's cute. They're so in love that even their Soul Jams want to make out. Lol

Also any excuse to put her face in those big strong man titties is 👌👌👌 in her opinion

SHADOWVANILLA HEADCANONS (We got BillFord as cookies in CRK before gta 6, gng.. 💔💔)

-When SMC does something extra sweet for no reason such as making a not totally terrible breakfeast in bed for PV, he finds it really sweet, and out of happiness and excitement he can't quite express with words so he just picks him up princess-style, and twirls him around with a big smile on his face

-When PV does this SMC finds it rather embarrassing and tries to push him off and cover his face with his hands and sentient hair to cover up his dark blue blush

-When SMC is embarrassed the eyes in his hair look embarrassed too and look away or down in a sheepish manner

-When PV is feeling extra affectionate he refers to SMC as "his silly royal jester" just like how SMC calls him his "silly vanilly" which he thinks he is being genuine about

-PV loves to call SMC "his pretty boy" and SMC isnt good with genuine compliments or nicknames back so instead he just creates graphic frankly concerning compliments about for example if someone doesn't treat him right he'd "slice them limb from limb and leave them to rot in the depths of my castle while they silently wail in agony!" and then just smile and blush and say something like "you know..something cheesy like that, Vanilly!" as if he told a pickup line and not something every 90s serial murder would

-PV often bathes with SMC in a non-sexual manner and does it to show SMC can be cared for and vulnerable without having it have negative consequences

-SMC smells like blue raspberry candy and flavored milk, PV smells like vanilla, a cat after lying in sunlight all day, and slightly of sugar

-PV is always very attentive when it comes to SMC's well-being and constantly makes sure he is bathed, comfortable, and cleaned up

-When they are asleep and cuddling SMC is extremely touch-starved and clings to him with an unrelenting grip and if PV tries to pull away SMC in his sleep he mumbles "P-please..n-no..d-don't go, please.." over and shakes his head like he is having a nightmare, which he often does

-SMC can't keep flowers or plants alive to save his life and frankly envies PV's pretty garden, which he grew with ease. Meanwhile, if he even breathed wrong next to a flower it would die in a second

-Sometimes if his flowers are growing well PV slices the prettiest flower and hands it to SMC especially if it is blue and says something along the lines of "Bluebird, look what I found in my garden today? Isn't it beautiful? It's even blue, just like you!"

-PV doesn't blush easily but does so when SMC says something sweet or kind for once or when says I love you back instead of "Of course you do!

-SMC blushes surprisingly easily from even scraps of affection but physical touch

-PV knows that SMC is touch starved and often teases him by waist hugs, playing with his hair, and holding his hand, and when SMC turns bluer than a damn blueberry and shouts for him to stop, in all honesty PV finds it even more funny and frankly cute. If he is feeling extra mean he says something like "I can't believe you are considered feared, my bluebird! You're simply adorable, after all.."

Like what you read? Well dont worry, depending on how this post does there will likely be more, ya dweeb!

[star-rinalina]

So I got a comment on tiktok that's been rotating in my brain for a bit and I need to yap about it

So for those that don't know, I've got an au where Shadow Milk accompanies the crew instead of Apple Faerie (it's gonna be shadowvanilla ofc). I've been crossposting the comic on all my socials. And on the most recent one, I got a comment saying "You write Shadow Milk so well, you should just write a fanfic at this point." And I thanked them, but I was kinda put off by it? Like I didn't want to bring up something negative since they were being nice. But like, what do they think goes into writng fanfic?

I do write a little, but the skill to make it interesting? To get the readers to experience the emotion I want them too? That takes skill. Did the commenter think that writing is the "easy" option? That if I switched to fic it would get done faster?

For example, I did this section:

The point was to show the canon conversation was happening, but frame the tension between the disguised Shadow Milk and disguised Black Sapphire. Like how would I write this without going:

"Shadow Milk glares at Black Sapphire. Black Sapphire notices and Shadow Milk raises an eyebrow. Black Sapphire gives a nervous smile as Shadow Milk shifts his glare forward, and his hand tightens on his arm."

A talented writer could definitely make that tense and interesting. But for someone who mainly scripts? It would take me so long to figure out a way to work it into something I was happy with. I know how to set the mood visually, with the head tilt and SMC's grip tightening. But how do you do those subtle nods in word form without bland descriptions or elying on cliche?

Or did they mean the opposite? That writing is the "more professional" option and my scriptwriting needed to graduate from the "silly little comic" to a more meaningful artform? It's not an uncommon view our society has.

Or maybe they just prefer the written word to comics idk. But like these are very different mediums and writing a good script =/= writing good books. Like I could nail the dialogue, but if I can't set the scene or describe the visual cues effectively the writing's gonna be shit.

And then this was sitting in my drafts and the announcement that Ao3 is gonna start reposting/clarifying their rules on site etiquette and wow. Master of picking up on shit right when it happens huh?

[groovyfrog420]

Ok so I've wanted to draw The Gays (shadowvanilla) again for a while, but the Urusei Yatsua animation trend (heart background, finger waving, that's the one) has caught my eye

(POLL UNDER THE CUT)

QUESTION IS: Do you guys want a shadowvanilla animatic in like 2-3 weeks because I SUCK heavily at animating

or do you want an actual nice drawing of them that I'm more prepared to do

Secret third option: I draw just the finger waving/chibi character running (example bellow) frame of the animatic but it will be prettier and not take forever (like it will if I animate the whole thing)

[mmmilkweed]

I really hope you don’t mind me asking. But honestly I’m invested in your take on ShadowVanilla and I wanna know what your take on it would be with Truthleas Recluse, if you know what I mean.

(I do apologize English isn’t my first language.)

No need to apologize brother, mine neither 💪

I love truthless recluse. He's my little emo schmookie, I just don't draw him much because I really like PV's demure behavior, this kind of like sweet but strict attitude, shy but outspoken..

Whereas I see TR as a more muted, silent type. Conniving and silently angry at the world. Where PV would take more of a backseat in a situation, TR takes the charge. I see them as polar opposites

Maybe as an example, if Smilk came up to flirt with PV, he'd shy away, but TR would lean into it. Probably push further. 😋

I'm going to beat him to death with a crowbar (cuteness aggression)

[tempolite]

Okay, nah, I'm gonna go back to being an absolute asshole, especially to those with "holier than thou" attitude when it comes to people shipping toxic stuff. For example, take a look at shadowvanilla. I started seeing y'all being shitty to those who ship it. For what? Because we "don't know" what it's like to be abused and that shipping such stuff makes us ABUSIVE??? Bullshit.

I was extremely abused by 5 to 10 older men back in middle school to high school, and they would rip my security and self-esteem apart every single day. When I rejected their advances, they would coerce me into accepting it every single time. I was 13 when it all started. It finally stopped a year or so ago when one of them finally bit the dust.

You'd think I turned out "just fine" and to be a perfect human being just like you? Fuck no. I still and always will ship whatever I can see myself in. I used to hurt others a whole lot because I didn't want them to get closer to me out of fear that I'd just end up losing them all over again. I also lied all the time, like Shadow Milk, to feel better, even if temporarily. I have lost count of how many disorders I have to deal with now because of that facility I was stuck in for six years till the very day I graduated.

I see a LOT of myself in Shadow Milk and my partner in Pure Vanilla, and I'm still trying to change for the better after all that I've done to my ex-friends. You seem to think everyone who got abused won't turn into an abuser, which is an extremely shitty mindset. I don't care if that's not what you exactly said, but it is very shitty regardless. And tagging the common ships is just even shittier. If you hate us so much, pray it away or even block us. We don't care, just don't harass us or talk shit WITHIN our tags. Like damn.

Sincerely, block whoever you don't like and move on. I'm not naming who, let alone bringing up screenshots because I'm not that kind of person. Just do better.

And yes, fuck you if you think I'm a bad person for being emotionally attached to Shadow Milk, at least I'm not emotionally attached to a perfect character that'd likely fuck you up the chance they get if they think you do/say something bad.

the ibuprofen is looking real delectable tonight... tw: rant (it doesn't make sense because I'm sleep-deprived but who cares)

I just went on pinterest and oh my lord the media literacy for most ships is just...gone. buried under layers and layers of "i ain't looking into ts" and "you expect me to read allat" like PLEASE be fr...

"shadowvanilla is actually fanservice in-game btw and content of it is literally always sexual so you shouldn't ship it" WHAT 🤯🤯. REF DO SOMETHING PLEASE

I'm not a shadowvanilla expert or anything but that sounds false idk man...

"pure vanilla is minor coded and so it's illegal to ship him with shadow milk" please of course, give me five examples and let's play English Class. Tell me why you think he's a minor. And let's talk about White Lily too, yknow? They went to the same school together, they were close friends, so let me know if you think she's also a minor too💔😔 "if it were a straight ship everyone would complain and hate it" (talking about eternalberry and shadowvanilla)

the way the crowd went silent. the way nothing would change besides a bit more complaining. Like...they're soulmates in the way that they literally share the same soul jam. people are gonna ship them regardless of gender atp.

like yeah pinterest is cute but by god it's a cesspool of AI, stolen art (saying "credits to artist" and not specifying is still stealing vro), and REALLY appalling opinions (sometimes).

at this point I'm a shipper just to rage bait on pinterest and for fun. let people do what they want like geez. I only go on that site for pngs and stuff like this

like isn't this way cuter than seeing someone bash a ship

i ship beast x ancient for the love of the game and pinterest opinions can be...loud. and violent. and it's actually insane how many people just DESPISE it. if I said in a comment section that I shipped burningcheese and shadowvanilla, there would be so many evil packages at my doorstep

I still remember when people were bashing hollytaya because it's "toxic" bro I remember the trenches of shipping

the way people are going to complain so bad about silentlily when they come out and the episodes are released (personally I adore silentlily and the mystery of how they'll interact with white lily will be so cool)

Rant about the cookie run kingdom fandom

Okay, so I know I'm gonna get hated for this, but I don't care. Ignore if you're sensitive.

First, I just want to clarify that it's for every fandom, of course, bad apples exist everywhere. But at this point, I can't believe what I'm seeing. The more a media is cute, kid-friendly, the more the fandom is crazy (and not in a good way)

So, I want to adress the things that bother me a lot.

Firstly, I think the Beast Yeast update was both a good thing and a bad thing to happen. Let me explain. Of course, the enemies into lovers trope has always existed and it's the most popular trope, but I think that update actually flipped upside down the fandom. Toxic ships has always existed (like affocara, redpastry, etc..) but they weren't that common I think?

But after that update, it never became the same thing again. It honestly makes me uncomfortable how shippers say "hAhA ToXiC yAoI" for everything, especially Shadowvanilla. It makes me cringe (I like sometimes when it's funny cringy, but not uncomfortable cringe you know?)

I hate how CRK content mainly ships (like 90% of the time) it's sexual.

Of course, I guess sex jokes/suggestive jokes can exist, but it comes to a point where it's like everywhere. These shippers only think about these 24/7.

One thing that adds with the fandom, is how people love to woobify the characters. The misrepresent/misinterpret the character for something they're not. Headcanons are fine, but when I see Shadowvanilla, and purecacao fans... I'm really concerned. They woobify the characters into "b-b-b-but he's g-g-g-ood!" or "I'm j-just a-a innocent uwu gay boi" I understand if you're a kid/teen, but when I see adults doing that, I'm like actually scared.

Every character is complex, and it doesn't have to be romantic. I actually like the Shadowvanilla ship, but not to this extent. And I don't like them romantically. But I would love to see them grow.

Plus, not just woobifying the characters, but also just changing them entirely. Like their personalities, and just only keep one trait. For example, Pure Vanilla Cookie. He's the most popular cookie with Shadow Milk, and all I see is just him being all innocent and nice. Of course he is friendly and generous, but (especially purecacao shippers) think he's weak or something. But when you see him defeating Dark Enchantress ALONE in the video, he isn't WEAK at all.

Or Dark Cacao, all they make him is "manly man who is strong and protects his boi" or "neglectful dad bad dad". When it's much more complex than that. I'm shocked when their account is JUST about this ship. Like I like Purelily and Cacaolily, but I don't post to this extent about them. And even if I wish for Cacaolily to be real, I'm not delusional enough to repeat that they're canon like some shadowvanilla and purecacao fans do. Of course, you can say that they're joking, but there are actually people that seriously do this ☠️ (do what you want, but I just can't belive it myself)

Plus, the amount of times where these shippers also looked at the tiniest details of an interaction, and thought, "it's canon" it's actually crazy. Like I've seen a post about how Dark Cacao's face in the fight between the ancients and Dark Enchantress Cookie, meant that he loved Pure vanilla cookie in a romantic way ☠️

Obviously characters can care about eachother without liking them romantically. Plus, not only Dark cacao was saddened, but also Hollyberry and Golden Cheese. But you don't include that for your ship.

You guys can understand that I really hate Purecacao, right? Well, unlike Shadowvanilla fans, they don't attack me personally, and they're actually cool. The experiences I had with Purecacao shippers made me hate this ship.

Also, stop hating characters for no reason, because of misunderstanding or something. Whether it's Golden Cheese Cookie, where there are people who think she's selfish and as bad as the beasts, Lord Oyster, or anyone tbh. A lot of characters are hated for no reason, either from their design, or what they did. What I mean is, okay, hate a character, but PLEASE have a at least a reason why you hate the character, and not just because it blocks your ship 😭

It's actually crazy Kingdom fans hated Revel Cookie and Okchun Cookie just for their "simple" design? A lot of CRK fans are so narrow minded it's sad. I really hope your minds opens up more, especially to other ships. For example, rare pairs are cool, and I don't see the problem with it except if they're problematic like age gap, pdf things yk?

I hate Purecacao, Affocacao, but I just block their tag. They just love drawing them kissing and making out. As much as I hate them, I won't threaten them or sending death threats over it, you know? I'm really sorry if I was too rude, my emotions get over me, I really hope it didn't hurt you.

At the end of the day, do what you want. Just don't interact with me. And please improve yourself, a lot of you guys need therapy, myself included. I needed to rant.

[knowledge-unbound-crk-au]

Welcome to Knowledge Unbound!

A CRK AU centric to Shadow Milk Cookie and Pure Vanilla Cookie uncovering the secrets of a rather peculiar situation involving the sudden dormancy of Shadow Milk’s Soul Jam and more importantly the sudden appearance of a witch’s magic across Earthbread’s surface. The familiar yet distant memory of, The Witch of Knowledge.

(Small note: this AU takes place before Beast Yeast Episode 3 everything up until the Dark Cacao’s journey has happened up until this point)

Disclaimer:

This AU is mostly going to focused on story and lore and will line up with typical canon violence and writing. Like there will be screwed up concepts and cookie gore?? But everything showcased in this AU will be typical to canon. This also means Ships will be minimal or only implied, I may ship PureShadow and many others (and trust me I’m still tagging it as ShadowVanilla cause I’m not subtle I like the ship) but for example one could easily see Shadow Milk Cookie and Pure Vanilla Cookie’s relationship as close platonic friends or romantic if they so wanted. There will be nothing explicit in the script just two idiots and them causing issues. The spiciest thing on the hot plate y’all are getting is them cuddling and one of them joking about kissing the other lol.

Introductions:

(Get to know the new and old faces you will see in this AU. Earthbread was never known for being quiet.)

SM PV WL

Where is this AU?

All future Chapters of the story will be posted HERE on my A03. The book of knowledge only grows over time after all.

It's so funny to me how people try to justify 'Shadow Milk cookie x Pure vanilla cookie' by comparing them TO BILLFORD.

Literally saw someone say in a TikTok comment section "the people that hate on ShadowVanilla is the same people who ships and love Billford 🙄😹" and the replies WERE AGREEING WITH THE COMMENT SAYING THAT THE SHIPS ARE BASICALLY THE SAME.

NO??????? I'm sorry but they're both are DIFFERENT. For example, the reason why Billford even works as a toxic ship is because THEY BOTH ACTUALLY USED TO LIKE EACH OTHER. BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT BILL WAS JUST MANIPULATING FORD (and then bill actually realises that he likes ford)

They were friends. They get along. They hanged out. They literally drank and did karaokes together???? ShadowVanilla DID NOT have any positive interaction at all.

Shadow milk purely hates Pure vanilla because Pure vanilla is saying that the souljam is his. Shadow Milk wants to see him dead. Meanwhile Bill cipher actually WANTED. Ford to join his team. I don't know if this is true or i made it up but DIDN'T BILL CRIED WHEN FORD STOPPED BEING FRIENDS WITH HIM????? Also let's not forget that Ford literally called Bill HIS MUSE. That is the most homosexual thing you can call your friend.

But ShadowVanilla? The only interaction they had is just Shadow Milk torturing and playing with Pure vanilla.

Honestly why are we shipping "abuser x victim" 💔💔💔
