You are a Human who found the Earthbread! Meeting cookies all around! how do the cookies react to seeing a human in their kingdom?
Part 1 | Part 2

Can be visualized as? Friendship Relation Ship (stableshed to the last two Parts), Cookies meeting you!
Sinse you adventure arround the Earthbread, Cookies are start to get comfortable arround you, Mostly the Cookies who live in the Custard Cookie III Kingdom, Others who as been accept you due the Aprovals of the Acient Cookies, as you progress being arround the cookies helping them and conviven with them, slowly they start to not be afreid of you, rather love to be with you!
Of corse due this your preces is well know by now by the cookies of all the kingdoms, talking about you most of the time, all this voices slowly go to other parts of the Earthbread more far away, arriving to the Cremee Public
It was not normal a Human convived with Cookies, the last thing regristed appart of the Witchers was the Wizards who was the only close human thing who treat Cookies as equals, but was for decades ago until they desapear
Due you unexpected arrival of the Cookies earth, this caugth the attencion of one specific group of cookies, The Council of Heroes
It was just matter of the time the Council hear about you due the cookies who spear the voice to the Creeme Public, they could not belive about a human in they world, but this rumors as been souding more and more, related to Acients and Gingerbrave itself, making less hard to belive it just make out or Fake
They worries soon has start to been discusted about you, why are you here? what you want? and what was you real intencion? this was one of the only chance to investagate about the humans/Witchers an understand more behind Cookie History Itself
And soon a letter from the Council arrive at the Custard Cookie III Kingdom, Surprising your Cookie friends due was writed for you
GingerBrave Cookie: "Dear Witcher, we invite you to our Republic to meet face to face and knowing more about you, this invitacion will be and purely with pacifist intencions, if you accept, we will make sure to make a place so we can talk comfortable without cause any troble, Sinsery the Council", Why they want to Meet [Y/N] Out of knowere?
-Gingerbrave says confused, due he dint talk to anyone from the Council to even tell about your existence-
Wizard Cookie: It very Obvius GingerBrave, They alredy hear about [Y/N] becuse of the adventure we have to meet the rest of the kingdoms and the acient cookies! [Y/N] Is in the radar of everyone cookies and everyone wants to know what REALLY [Y/N] is
Strawberry Cookie: Oh no, does that mean [Y/N] is in troble? but dint do anything bad to be call, does they want to hurt or do something bad to [Y/N]?
Custard Cookie III: Even if they try to do something with [Y/N], [Y/N] is under MY Kingdom protecion, if something happen to [Y/N] they have to deal with me!
-Custard Cookie III says a little angry and annoyed, after all you showed nothing but kindness and someone who there to help others, you win your place in Custard Coookie III Kingdom and as a reward you under his protecion-
As yourself you dint know what to think or say, you was worried all over again, what they want to do to you, does they want to hurt you? so many questions for you and the Cookies, but no much idea what to do
With this unknow circustances, letters as been send to the Acients to try to seek for anserws, the Acients dint like the Council start to intevied with all this situacion, mostly knowing they could do unmoral things to archive what they want or what they want to know
Due the circustances and knowing a "No" as a responde of the invitacion could cause problematic things in the future from part of the Council, they decide to the better decicion is accepting the invitacion, and mostly guard you to keep you safe and to keep eyes of what happen in the Republic
They never expect to have to deal with you sooner...or well, way sooner of they thougth, but they know you dint nothing wrong, you just attrack to many unwanted eyes, something start to also worried the Acients....
As with your small boat start to go to the cremet public with your cookie friends and acients on board, you head was full of questions, it was the same was with the acients yes but at the same time not, becuse the aceints was with you, feeling this was something way more heavy as was, wondering what happen once you arrive? the least you want is cause chaos or a drama, more and more thoughst was fully your mind was starting to hurt
Dark Cacao Cookie: I can see you worries Human, but think will not help your situacion, we wil make sure to keep everything in ease or for the woerse keep you protected
-Dark Cacao has noticed you expression of worried, something that caught you off guard due was focus in your thoguths-
Golden Cheese Cookie: Yea, what ever these guys want from you i will not let just take you for what ever they want

After a long journy to the Creme Republic, you was surprised to find this huge city, you was expecting to be like the acients kingdoms, but this was other level, the place so white and clean and the water feel so clean so diferente of cand-ish water you was starting to get use to it
The firts one to "greeting" all of you was Capitan Carviar Cookie, who was waiting near the waters to scool you all where the concil is going to see you, he mostly was annoyed, he dint belive in the rumors, was too crazy to be real, a Witch in the cookie kingdom? it was too ridicolus, but the Council was too worried to be true he just follow them, so was a absotluly surprised seeing the rumors was true
even so, he let his surprised aside and soon you and the cookies was near, gides you where the Council is, a place was a little far away of the city, alredy your big size let the cokies of all the leves of the republic see you, was a little of panic and fear from all the cookies for this "giant monster", but the paladins make sure to keep everyone calm and go back of what they doing
Once there, it was justa improvise place the Council made to meet you, of corse was full of paladins, ready to charge the firts order was giving but a little away so not to scared you or treathing you
The Council itself was well, surprised, confused, and shoked and worried, they expected you was big, but not this big, seeing they faces of unconfrtable of you, not a big surrpsied...

the Council look at each other, thinking all this information and what to do, is confusing situacion had to afront, difente buts and what ifs put on the table, what to proceed and what will be the best if everyone agreeds
Mulled Juice Cookie: well, let the human be arround, we have a alive legend arrounds us, why not give the chance?

Clotted Cream Cookie: i agreed with Mulled Juice Cookie, the Acients alredy is taking care of the human situacion and ready to take actions if antyhing ocurrs, even so, we have a army of palidins with magic pearls can help to put the human down, if happen the case
Oyster Cookie: We can observe as well if this human is good as want to show, can also do task to provide they trust and good intencions if really want the effort to be
Clotted Cream Cookie: and we can investigate as well the Human, after all we dont know much about the humans appart of the old writings we have, this is our good only chance to understan better the humans kinds
Dark Cacao Cookie: of corse you did have to say that....
-Dark Cacao Cookie looks angry at Clotted Cream Cookie as alredy expected to say something like that, while Vanilla Sugar Cookie and Custard Cookie dont agreed of the idea have you arround among us-

Pure Vanilla Cookie: We alowed you investigate about [Y/N] but we not tolerate if you do something to [Y/N] is againts any morals, or will be taking actions as well
Expresso Cookie: If im alowed, i will be very honored to take the investigation of the human, i did my own investigation just observing the human behavor in the kingdom, i will of corse, follow the morals and no cause anything againts it the desires
Clotted Cream Cookie: Look like we arrive to a conclucion it benefids everyone, to make sure, everyone agreeds to this last desicion?
-The concul nods in agreedment, even Vanilla Sugar Cookie and Custard Cookie but mostly becuse not have much choice due they out of numbers-
Oyster Cookie: before we finish, please human, there something you want to tell us here the concil?
You look surrpised, you get use to it others talk for you and keep quiet, so this was very diferent, now having the attencion of all cookies, Acients and Cookie friends as well, you take a deep breath, and decide to spooke
"I...[Y/N] i promise to show my trust to all cookie kind, to show i not here for any bad intencion what so ever, if i had to pay for the prise of my actions, i will without any resistance to be take my head off"
All cookies present was shoked, was not expected shut shoked words would you say, understanding you ok to take the responsibility to be put down if you do something is againts the morals
Clotted Cream Cookie: very well, i think this will be all for today, thank you for accept our invitacion, and i aploguies of how things as turn out, we hope our next time we see faces be less like happen today
The Acient cookies are glad this is finally over and things dint go out of hand, You too are glad this is over, you really just go back to the kingdom and rest from this tension, as Gingerbrave cookie celebrates everything utnr out well
The comeback home was at least better, Gingerbrave, Wizard and the Aceints helping you feel better after shut tense situacion, just hoping things in the furute be more brighter and be now becarefull, now that cookies eyes on you
For Espresso Cookie, now he have a huge investigation to do about your kind, he of corse will not rush things and take slow the investigation and not do nothing will make you unconfortable
And Madelin Cookie is sad could not meet his family, he would love to show you arround the Creme Republic and be in his sweet home, he know his family will love you not matter what you are
in the end, even if things go a little heavy, everything turn out ok
Mille-feuille Cookie: Our Gold.....is finally here

Yes, every FDC podcast pisses me off, but the most recent one might be the most so. Dr. O'Neill essentially recommends against all health testing (or disorder testing a he calls it) unless it's a major issue in the breed based on quality of life and population AND the test showing significant value to change population over time. Basically saying unless over 20% of the breed is affected, don't test for it in favor of genetic diversity. I think this is a clouded take of someone who works with population as a whole, and not breeding dogs. Just about every health concern in border collies, less than 20% of the population is affected. And a big part of that? Genetic testing that prevents two carriers being bred to each other. That doesn't mean that carriers are pulled from the gene pool, they just aren't bred to other carriers. I've seen very, VERY few cases of dogs being pulled from breeding on their genetic testing results alone. But pull the genetic tests, and you have NINE different easily tested for genetic diseases common to the breed that it would be exceedingly easy to breed two carriers to each other when breeding blindly. According to OFA, only about 10% of the breed has failing hips, but what kind of life is in store for a high energy dog who's body can't withstand that lifestyle they need? Only two percent fail elbows, but elbow dysplasia in the breed is more likely to be a career ending diagnosis than hip dysplasia and IMO a much worse QOL prognosis.
Sure you can't guarantee the results of any breeding, but coming from a breed where more dogs are washed from breeding for bad temperament than failing a health test, I'll keep spending money to stack the cards in my favor and will buy from breeders who will do the same.
#bark bark bark#Dr. O'Neill mentions health testing adding to cost of puppies being a concern and I quite frankly don't agree.#There are shelters full of unhealth tested dogs for people who don't want to pay for that kind of benefit#and always some ass hat willing to buy from bybs and puppy mills and it's not MY job to lower my standards#to appease the people who don't appreciate what goes into producing a good dog

Cars of Doo Wop City, Part 11
A lot of people loved the Cadillac from my post Stella Starās Among the Cars in Wildwood-Villas. We have additional photos of this car. These photos were taken at Brentās Auto Repair, on January 5th, 1968. (ā¦Or, was that 2024?) This car is destined to become a classic. Half in the shade, half in the sun. Either way, itās high style. Hereās the Cadillac Fleetwood, in all its beauty, as viewedā¦

Alecto Prediction #8
Alecto will open with an almost word for word recreation of John 20:24 with Harrow filling the role of Thomas and Kiriona filling the role of a resurrected Jesus. True to its biblical counterpart, the scene will include chussy-fingering.
#John 20:24. hmm. interesting.#reach hither thy finger indeed#the Paulycule is pointedly looking away in the background#Alecto is not#her full attention is on these two useless lesbians#when she goes to kill Jod she just full on pulls his heart out and crushes it a la Regina Mills#gideon the ninth#the locked tomb#harrow the ninth#nona the ninth#alecto the ninth#tlt#tlt series#alecto predictions#alecto speculation#alecto theories#kiriona gaia#gideon nav#harrowhark nonagesimus#alecto#paulycule

consider a swap smp aa au where Miles is the pixl
HI I absolutely RAN to my ipad upon seeing this ask to make sure I had some sketches down. Ended up working out some coherent designs ehehe
Man I lowkey like these designs more than I had for the initial AU :') Also OUGH I think Phoenix getting so fucked up and sad that he ends it all is just...kind of neat actually.
#i didn't see the full ask in the notif bar and deadass thought you were gonna say 'where Bleck and co. are in court'#which has been on my mind for sure lol. but i didn't think abt a role reversal version of this au before AA#i love doing the pixl designs it's all about SHAPES#ace attorney#super paper mario#miles edgeworth#phoenix wright#spmaaau#for Phoenix/Nikki I designed Phoenix's clothes and worked out his pixl form based on tbat#for Miles it felt easier to draw a pixl of him. Miles just has a lot of shapeable things going on lol#and then made that gay little outfit#i kinda like the name Mille for him...#you can say it the English way or the French way#the latter meaning Thousand. like he knows a thousand things as a pixl#anyway thanks for this it was incredibly fun to draw these

Iām still catching up, but hereās a quick rundown of whatās been going on since Halloween, both good and bad . . .
1) Enormous and untenable workload
2) Adelaide and her boyfriend broke up, and this boyās overly involved mother has been harassing me about it for 2+ weeks and yet also keeps trying to make plans to hang out with me as friends, which is bizarre. (If I turn up dead, please show this bulleted list to the police, hahahajustkiddingsortofhahaha.)
3) One of my best friends was elected as a circuit court judge and I drove the 6 hours up for her surprise party last weekend.
4) The head of my department, a woman I greatly admire and work closely with, announced sheās retiring next month and sheās leaving a huge power vacuum thatās getting . . . uhhhhhh . . . pretty ugly
5) Iāve started dating someone. I like him, and heās been very forthcoming about liking me back. Itās been a bright spot in all of this madness. Solid plans made all the way to June, so this one isnāt fooling around.
6) In absolute sincerity but glossing over the āwhyā details, I spent 24 hours mentally preparing to let myself into a friendās apartment and discover their dead body. They were fine, but itās highlighted a larger problem I, of course, have no control over but can be free to feel low-grade constant worry and stress over, which is cool.
7) I canāt overemphasize the ugliness of #4. The team is being pulled apart and reallocated. People are scrambling to protect themselves and each other. I donāt have much faith in what will be my new situation, but thereās upheaval here every 8-12 months. So Iām going to white knuckle it until it changes again. You can tolerate just about anything for a year. Weāll cross the āand if it doesnāt?ā bridge when we get to it.
#remember the drama of high school#the rumor mill and how sensitive and back stabby people could be?#thatās what itās like to have a corporate job#just a terrarium full of people with below average emotional intelligence
