#I also have a lot of headcanons for Eternal Sugar

[poppyseed-cookie]

It’s pretty interesting, ignoring Silent Salt cuz we don’t know anything yet (tho I could see them following this pattern), all the beasts are like… REALLY similar when you boil them down.

All of them so far have basically the same backstory and motivation: they lost faith in the world, have their own ideas on how to escape that terrible reality, and try to “save” their ancients.

It’s really funny cuz you can imagine all of the beasts agreeing with each other but then arguing cuz they all have different ideas on what the Correct solution to the problem is (problem being The Way The World Is).

I’ll break it down if people don’t see it:

Lost faith in the world:

Mystic Flour: saw how greedy and selfish cookies are

Burning Spice: saw that nothing lasts forever and change always leads to the same thing

Shadow Milk: little more vague, but saw that lies and truth didn’t really matter and cookies would believe whatever they wanted to I guess

Eternal Sugar: saw cookies being unhappy!!!! Whenever she couldn’t watch over them!!

Got ideas on how to escape that terrible reality:

Mystic Flour: if nobody had individual desires, they couldn’t be selfish greedy or terrible anymore. Also her whole apathy thing is very “here’s how to continue living when everything seems pointless: just embrace that it’s pointless!”

Burning Spice: if everything is going to be destroyed anyways, might as well pour all your energy into the destruction so that your efforts don’t go to waste. Make everything the way you know it will end up anyways.

Shadow Milk: umm embrace deceit lol!!! If Truth and Knowledge don’t really mean anything then just make something up! Make it more fun!

Eternal Sugar: don’t leave don’t leave don’t leave- (ok I’m being vague with hers I just feel like she’s pretty obvious. We all understand what she’s doing and why, right?)

Try to “save” their ancient:

Mystic Flour: and all of cookiekind, of course. She knows that he cares a lot about his kingdom and all and she knows that it’s all futile and tries to show him that so he can escape the pain of living I mean Not Being Apathy ig

Burning Spice: the most deviant of this pattern I’d say, for I don’t think he’s trying to save Golden Cheese as much as he’s trying to get HER to save HIM (by killing him). But you could see him destroying everything she loves as a means of “saving” her, since everything she loves will be destroyed anyways might as well get it over with.

Shadow Milk: umm fall into deceit lol!!! It’s pretty clear that he projects a lot onto Pure Vanilla, and with how he’s trying to get Pure Vanilla to follow his same path, it’s safe to say that tormenting him so that he realizes truth is meaningless is sort of mystic flour style of “saving” but more devious. He wants Pure Vanilla to end up like he did. And he seems happier… right?

Eternal Sugar: I mean REALLY obvious. She says all the time that she’s trying to save Hollyberry from the suffering that her Passion will bring. She wants to protect her happiness in her garden.

I have more to say about Eternal Sugar tbh but I feel like that’s a whole different post cuz it’s not totally relevant to the main point I’m trying to make here which is: All The Beasts Are The Same But With Key Differences And That’s Beautiful.

(Sorry smilkheads for my questionable analysis of him, the more I look into his character the less I know how to articulate it LOL. I also don’t want to dive too deep into theory/headcanon territory in a post like this)

[moonfirecookies]

Silent Salt Headcanons I had for a while:

Silent Salt was mute way before he corrupted. When did try to speak after first being baked, his voice can barely be heard, his yelling is as loud as a whisper. Despite this he was still able to do his duties well.

Before sign language was made and became widely used (I headcanon that Twilight Milk (Shadow Milk) made sign language for cookie kind), Silent Salt had to find another way to communicate other ways. While he couldn’t vocally make noise, he can make different kinds of noises with whatever he can use (mainly with his sword). Each pitch and type of sound can mean something, and he can make many different noises, combined with body language. This is his main form of communication, but Shadow Milk, when he’s not causing chaos, does take the time to teach him sign language, and he begrudgingly lets him.

On note with his way of communication, Mystic Flour was the first to learn it and translate each sound to the others so they could understand what he’s saying. However, after he was sealed away, cookie kind used sign language more, and as he was forgotten, so was his way of communicating (Elder Faerie would remember though, but I’m not sure if any other faeries would know depending on how old they are) and Without any of the Beasts there to translate, no one will understand what he’s trying to say.

Silent Salt found a way to remove the sound of metal from his armor, so no one can hear him move. On top of that he learned how to walk without making sound. Really the only way you can hear him, is if you can hear him breathing.

Silent Salt will move his soul jam from his chest plate to his sword to put more power into his attacks, and vice versa to strengthen his armor. He mostly wears it on his chest plate so he can communicate without cutting something in half with his sword however.

Out of all of the Beasts, Silent Salt is closest with Mystic Flour, and it’s continued to be that way throughout the centuries (no this is not a ship, if anything it’s more platonic than romantic)

On the contrary, he doesn’t really like Shadow Milk (but he did like him when he was Twilight Milk). He didn’t like him ever since he corrupted for a lot of reasons, some more personal than others. He’ll still work with him but very begrudgingly, and only because the other beasts are with him.

He and Burning Spice have a friendly rivalry due to the fact he’s the only one that’s willing to fight Burning Spice and entertain him for a few hours. Sometimes Burning Spice can scare him a bit though.

He doesn’t like anyone taking off his armor. At all. Just don’t do it for your own sake.

Azriel headcanons

Since I'm working on too many fics and not finishing even one, here's a list of random headcanons I have about our favorite shadowsinger. Seriously, they're very random.

I have so many more, but I didn't want this to be too long lol. Let me know if I should write more of them.

If it weren't for his scars that make it impossible for him (it'd probably be really uncomfortable), Azriel would wear rings. And I mean a lot of them, on both hands. Very slutty of him if you ask me. This is how I imagine it to look like:

And necklaces as well. Like silver little chains and similar.

Azriel is 100% a cat person. I don't think I need to say more, we can all agree on this, right?

The shadowsinger can sing, we all know that. But my current obsession is him playing the piano. He probably learned while healing his hands when he was a child because it helped with coordination. He's really good at it, but he doesn't play in front of people. Only for you. (I wrote a fic about this: Play It For Me)

He has a very neat handwriting. Again, he had to practice a lot after his hands were burned to use them properly again. I picture something like this:

He's the kind of "monster" that eats pizza with a knife and fork instead of just cutting slices and using his hands (I'm Italian, I'm allowed to say this). He would also always stick to the same pizza, never changing the topping too much (relatable). He'd probably keep it simple, with mozzarella, black olives, and maybe anchovies if he feels extra.

Since we're talking food, if you are out on a date or just eating at a restaurant or whatever and you order something you end up not liking, he's swapping your dishes and giving you his. If you do like it but you also like his a lot, then he asks you if you want to share and eat half of each.

He's not a cocktail guy. Here as well, he likes to keep it simple: whiskey, brandy, wine if he's eating, and beer if he's hanging out with Cassian. If he does drink a cocktail, his go-to choices are Black Russian, gin and tonic, Old Fashioned, Manhattan, and Negroni (which might be an Italian cocktail, I'm not sure).

Oh, and he loves coffee. Black, no sugar, no cream. Mostly espresso, but also full mugs of it, especially in the morning.

Azriel loves turtleneck sweaters. Leather jackets are another favorite. When he's out, he mostly wears black or dark jeans, but at home? Sweatpants. Those infamous grey sweatpants we all love. Again, very slutty. He bought them without thinking too much about it, but once he saw your reaction to him wearing them, they became his favorite piece of clothing out of everything he had ever owned.

On the topic of clothing, we know he mostly wears black, but we also know he loves Winter Solstice. He could be easily convinced to wear one of those ugly Christmas sweaters, especially if you bat your eyelashes at him. He can never say no when you give him doe eyes. He'll complain about it, but he secretly loves it, even more so if you're wearing a matching one. The first three are nice and simple and cute, the other two if you want to embarrass him a little (but he still wouldn't say no):

Same goes for Halloween. Couple costumes? He's down. Would he admit he likes it? Probably not. Would he refuse to do it until you're begging him to, just so he can see your cute pout? Absolutely. And of course, he lets you do his make-up.

He smokes. Not much, just 2/3 cigarettes throughout the day, but it can be more if he's stressed or nervous. (Just imagine the hand in the first picture with a cigarette, it's just the perfect position already. I don't smoke and I can't even stand the smell, but I would honestly let Azriel blow the smoke in my face fr)

[hollyberrygarden]

headcanons for Wildberry after Beast Yeast. aka after he almost crumbled from a very severe injury

his injuries in Beast Yeast were obviously really bad. he gets hit by a heavy attack and is knocked out cold immediately. when they get to the garden, the others say he has too many crumbs falling off. we can literally see his arm and face missing crumbs. he is only healed because Eternal Sugar herself steps in. suffice it to say, his injuries are horrible! and he almost died!

I don't think it's possible for him to have injuries like this without some lingering effects (even after he recovers). such as:

visible scars. we've seen other characters with scars (Royal Margarine on his forehead, for example), so we know Cookies can scar. I think him having visible scars both on his face and his right arm would be very realistic for this type of injury

recurrent soreness and pain. I don't know if his right hand is his dominant hand (I'm assuming yes? since he uses it to wield his gauntlet), so him using his dominant hand, like writing, training, or even holding his gauntlet/fighting, could possibly cause discomfort from his injury. I wouldn't even be surprised if Eternal Sugar purposefully didn't heal him all the way since she was focused on Hollyberry's happiness, not his, especially since he was distracting Hollyberry. granted, Eternal Sugar's job is to grant happiness to those in her garden, so that would include Wildberry's injuries, but I wouldn't be surprised if she twisted her own words like she did with not forcing anyone back to her garden but also encouraging monsters to attack those who leave. either way, Raspberry outright says he needs to be still at the beginning of episode 12 because he's "not fully healed yet," so I think it's possible he overextended himself before his body was ready. therefore, I think recurring bouts of pain and soreness would make sense for him, ranging from mild to almost unbearable. same with headaches. his facial injuries are not as severe, but I think it's still possible

general discomfort around discussion of the injury itself. I think he's used to fighting, and he's very courageous and brave, so jumping into battle to save Hollyberry, who is very close to him, makes sense to him. but I cannot imagine injuries like this being common for him, especially since he was only healed (and he only survived) because of an all-powerful Beast's intervention. I think it would stick with him, and discussing the actual injury and the circumstances behind it (being in the woods, the swarm of monsters, saving her from immediate danger, pushing himself beyond his limits while still in pain, the adrenaline and the fear for her safety and those other intense feelings, etc.) would make him wary. on edge. maybe even anxious? he doesn't like how he feels when it gets brought up, when someone worries about his safety or mentions his scars or asks how he's doing. I think he would almost dismiss it, state that he's doing well and recovered smoothly/quickly and the Queen Mother is safe (which is what ultimately matters, he says), and to be fair, these are all true things! but he hates drawing attention to his own injuries

new worries he didn't have before. maybe big crowds of strangers are more daunting to him, if they weren't already. he studies exits in unfamiliar places and likes having his back to the wall so he can look at everything. he knows Hollyberry is a very capable fighter, and he thinks she is stronger than him, but he worries a lot more about her being in danger and him not being there. he might be even more nagging about her safety, but she knows why and tries to reassure him as much as she can

nightmares :( of varying levels of intensity. nightmares about the injuries themselves or if Hollyberry was hurt. if he crumbled. some of them aren't very clear when he wakes, and others are too vivid for his liking. they always leave him a bit shaken. he likes a good distraction

Teddy anon and same! I need her to tickle me gently and hold me!

Yesss! Please, she’s so dang pretty. Like, it was an instant crush when I saw the leaks. Praying that I can get her asap. (Kink/NSFW accounts DNI!)

Lee:

Oh, her laughter is so sweet and dreamy. It’s like a cacophony of aeolian harps.

Both sets of wings are her worst spots! But especially the little devil wings.

Not really squirmy, but her tail swishes and her wings flutter a little.

I headcanon this for all of the Beasts and Ancients, but I haven’t said it until now: her Soul Jam is also low-key ticklish. Like, giving it really light touches will make her laugh instantly!

Quite open about whenever she desires tickling. She lazily stretches out, poising her arms right above her head just perfectly, setting her feet in her desired ler’s lap, and of course opens up her wings for display. She also just asks.

She’s actually quite the big fan of tickling in general! After all, it brings about happiness.

However, you must promise to cuddle afterwards! She doesn’t like being wrecked then abandoned.

Loves feathers and all fluffy little tickling tools. But stuff like hairbrushes or those little metal things? Yeah, no. It must be soft. She won’t allow anything else near her.

Ler:

The most sickeningly sweet ler in history!

Her tickles are so absurdly gentle, her fingers feel like feathers. Speaking of feathers, you know for a fact that she uses her wings!

Loves giving out tickly cuddles and kisses. Expect to be wrapped up tightly in her wings as she gingerly dots all over you with little kisses.

Teases quite a lot, but it’s just the sweetest compliments and softest cooing ever.

”You have such an adorable laugh! Let me hear it more.”

”Does that tickle, dear? That’s good. I love that sound you’re making.”

Somehow, her tickles always put people to sleep eventually. After you’re done giggling, expect to be out like a light in her arms.

BUTTERFLY KISSES! And, man, those lashes of hers make them lethal.

Doesn’t really go out of her way to use tools, but if they’re in her reach she’ll gladly use them. For real, she is way too skilled with feathers! She knows exactly where and how to brush them.

Raspberries are always so soft and loving. They aren’t super big and loud, they’re just super tiny ones that are peppered everywhere her lips can reach.

I… uh… also headcanon that her lips are super soft, so beware of that.

Aftercare is honestly just guaranteed, especially with the whole “always puts lees to sleep” thing. When you wake up, you’ll still be in her grasp.

Like Pure Vanilla Cookie, she often disguises tickle attacks as hugs.

That’s it!

Ugghh I’m such a simp for her. I love her. I don’t care that she’s evil or manipulative, woman pretty. I’ll be trying to upload more, but I can’t always guarantee. Band has the month off during June, so hopefully the free time will be enough for me to catch up on requests. Have a good one 🫶

Yoo, here's some stuff ya need to know, but first, welcome! I'm the brainrot anon on @ask-the-fire-spirit-cookie and I figured why not just y'know, do a Rp blog. So here I am, ask away. But here are some things you should know.

I'm a minor, thank you very much. No weird asks.

Also uhh mod pronouns are she/her

This rp blog is an AU of CRK. However it's isn't much different, just..eh, you'll find out. They all act to their canon attitude.

You can ask Shadow Milk Cookie, Mystic Flour Cookie, Burning Spice Cookie, Eternal Sugar Cookie, Silent Salt Cookie, Cloud Haetae Cookie, Candy Apple Cookie, Black Sapphire Cookie, Nutmeg Tiger Cookie, and Pavlova Cookie. Maybe a few secret codes/ words can trigger someone not listed here...

I have headcanons for them, but not a lot.

Mod is @dabestmoonever btw! :33

Anyways, bye!!

(Also, SMC is brainrotted. Sorry not sorry.)

[azuremist]

For a long while, I had considered my autistic Shadow Milk headcanon rather self-indulgent, mostly founded on his intense interest in theater and his tendency to mask his true feelings. (Autistic masking comes in many flavors, after all. It’s not just, “Hey, I’m just like you! Just a regular ol’ allistic person doing allistic things!” Autistic masking can also be, “I’m the clown! The dramatic life of the party!”)

However, the more we learn about his relationship to the other Beasts, the less baseless it seems.

A lot of people joked that the update where we got to see the battle interactions between the Beasts was the “everybody hates Shadow Milk” update. Which isn’t much of an exaggeration. He’s told by Burning Spice that he talks too much one interaction. He tries to make Mystic Flour smile and fails in both their interactions. Eternal Sugar gets mad at Shadow Milk in one interaction, and is told that she has no faith in him in another.

It is true that none of the Beasts are friends. They’re intended to be an inverse of the Heroes, who are. None of their interactions are strictly pleasant (with an arguable exception for one of Eternal Sugar and Mystic Flour’s). However, Shadow Milk is the only character who seems to be trying to be consistently friendly towards the others.

As stated, both of his interactions with Mystic Flour are him trying to get her to smile. He tells Eternal Flour to have more faith in him, and says he loves it when she gets angry in a way that seems encouraging. And, of course, there’s the infamous “okay, hot stuff, do your thing!” towards Burning Spice.

When I realized this, it immediately reminded me of this line.

You’ll notice the pause. He’s not even sure.

It’s very much… the autistic experience of thinking that you’re friends with people who actually dislike you. Never being sure when to call someone a friend outwardly, because you can’t be certain in your assessment. Being constantly brushed off when you’re trying to talk to those you consider friends. Etc.

Of course Shadow Milk is in denial that he’s lonely. He thinks he has friends.

Of course Shadow Milk is put off by his minions’ devotion and when he’s treated kindly (his voice line in response to a gift being “not bad…! what do you want?”). That’s not how his friends act.

Of course he is taken with Truthless Recluse, who acts openly annoyed towards him. That’s how friends treat each other.

He was even the one that gave the Beasts their name. With the implication that he was the first of the Beasts to be corrupted, it paints a picture that he wanted for all of them to fall together. Be tied together. Be a group, be friends.

I think this picture is probably best at showing what I mean.

He had to make full-body plush toys of the other Beasts, just to have a representation of them for a performance. To get them to hold each other’s hands, he sewed their hands together. But I don’t see any hints of hysteria in his expression — his fangs aren’t even showing in his smile.

Shadow Milk thinks that this is all normal.

[thetiredartist101]

[Idk what to call this CRK AUs]

I really wanted to get this out before Silent Salt came out in the Gacha so designs might looked abit rushed but I did also decide to redo the Ancient cookies due to the lack of detail originally, these designs were made before I saw Hollyberry and Eternalsugar’s other designs (Awakening and costume) although I won’t change my designs because I am very lazy and took more time than I’d normally for this-

Anywho lore and notes:

Both of these are separate universes that eventually collides, one is where the beast cookies are good while the other AU takes place in a universe where the Cookies got their awakenings and Souljam back but had a sense of vengeance, despite getting their revenge there was still something wrong with each one of them so they planned.

EXTRA NOTE:

YES I headcanon Black Sapphire being the child between Shadowmilk and Eternal Sugar due to a lot of reasons (I am not going to get into because I’d be rambling a lot

YES I also do believe in Elder Faerie Cookie being Silent Salt, although I will change things if proven otherwise.

I also don’t have proper names for them just titles :D that I thought would be cool

Fun fact about all of them (in this AU ofc):

“Savior Cookies”

- Freedom Knight actually was given his Soul Jam after the passing of White Lily

- Burning Spice has tats with meanings such as a chemical formula for spice on his shoulder, tiger patterns on his arms and more

- Sage of Truth is the main reason the 5 collective agree on anything, being the one to seek truth and maintain it

- Menmento Mori is remembered by most as one of the most elegant cookies, forging anything from the flour she possesses or is given to help others

- Empathic Horticulturalist, the mother of Lil Sapphire Cookie tries to maintain her garden, enjoying help from others and tries to keep in contact despite always being in her garden

*still debating on the second AU being a vengeance AU or a Swap AU for I love Swap AUs*

(This lore is not concrete but original I just wanted to draw Truthless Recluse versions of the ancient cookies so this is all I got now while drawing them out, I might expand on this AU in the future, I dunno but I hope this doesn’t flop for this had taken me too flippin long, either way, good day!)

[clandestineivory]

Always had a headcanon that some beasts have extra eyes (basically half-open slits right under their other eyes)

and this headcanon mostly goes to burning spice and mystic flour.

silent salt has a horse with white flames (it isn't really a horse, more like a weird metal ant/horse fusion)

eternal sugar has a scar/marking on her back shaped like an upside-down heart

shadow milk cookie thinks that the term 'ignorance is bliss' describes society the best and that's why he turned to deceit (because spreading white lies made people happier). I also think he'd be just a tad bit surprised if someone genuinely wanted to hear every truth, no matter how hurtful or bad it is. It's not like he would make a huge reaction, but he'd certainly take notice to that fact.

another headcanon abt silent salt... I think they'd be partial to a law where everyone in the salt flats (or wherever they are) has to be quiet at all times for them to focus and exist in peace. I think they would be connected to the stars and the moon more than others. (I love faceless characters with no info about them besides clips and screenshots from the trailer and details in the design)

Burning Spice is lowk "What happens when a hero lives too long and learns that victory was just the start of another pointless cycle?" and I fw that a lot. The beasts are all so interesting and I can't wait for Silent Salt's release

~ My Pure Vanilla headcanons ~

✧ Pure Vanilla Cookie is transgender (FtM/AFAB). (I like projecting on my favorite characters a lot.)

✧ He is the shortest of the ancients and I like to imagine him shorter than most of the beasts as well (except for Eternal Sugar).

✧ He is blind (mostly just very blurry eyesight).

✧ He has autism and he does suffer from an ED (projecting again lol).

✧ He does also have PTSD, anxiety and an inferiority complex (from the Dark Flour War and the Spire of Deceit).

✧ Pure Vanilla Cookie doesn't have any (living) parents. He was raised by his townsfolk around where he used to live and - unsurprisingly - a flock of sheep. He has no memory of his mother who likely died when he was very little. But he does remember often seeing a ghostly being hidden among the other sheep as he grew up...

✧ He is very much bottom coded. (Yes, I do prefer Top!Shadow Milk and I don't switch, bite me.)

✧ He is a literal Disney princess.

[skyedancer2006]

Ok so Cookie Run hyperfix go brrrr I wanna talk about the Beasts for a bit :)

I’m absolutely loving these guys so far; they’re such good mirrors of each of the Ancient Heroes (especially Shadow Milk to Pure Vanilla, but that’s a topic plenty of people have talked about before lol). Them being negative flips on the Ancients’ virtues, showing how even things like Knowledge and Resolution can have harmful sides, is something I enjoy a lot, and I’m looking forward to what the game does with Eternal Sugar and Silent Salt once they release.

Right now though I want to ramble about their title: Beasts. Why are they called the Beasts? Aside from the mass destruction and chaos they caused, the name doesn’t seem all that fitting. They aren’t animalistic in any inherent way; they aren’t “mindless beasts” as the saying goes. They were former heroes and saviors that had a fall from grace.

I’ve seen some fan works giving them more beastly forms they can change into like the Dragon Cookies do. And if anyone knows me, you know I love a good old transforming/shapeshifting character! So I latched on to this headcanon real quick, cause honestly it would make their title make a lot more sense. Also it’s just cool :)

So, what sort of creatures would these theoretical other forms resemble? Time to analyze each character, their design inspirations, their symbolism, and more to determine this. This got long, so I’ll put it under a cut

Shadow Milk already has a very clear connection to snakes, both through the religious symbolism with the Garden of Eden (which is seen in his gacha animation via a snake eating an apple; image below), and with snakes often representing lies and trickery; Deceit.

So him being something snake-like is the obvious choice.

Mystic Flour is also relatively easy: spiders. There is an abundance of spider enemies in the Pagoda areas, with the boss of the first half being the Webbed Spider Queen:

This spider already bears a resemblance to Mystic Flour, with its abdomen having markings that look like her face and Soul Jam. It also comes out of Mystic Flour’s cocoon, which honestly looks like the stereotypical “spider cocooned its prey” depiction, background webs and all.

Mystic Flour cookie’s philosophy about enlightenment and letting go of worldly desires is heavily based on Buddhist beliefs, and spiders actually do have some symbolism in Buddhism and the Vedic philosophy from India. In the Vedas, spiders are depicted as hiding reality in illusion, similar to the illusory perfection Mystic Flour creates. And a spider web is a common way of explaining the Buddhist concept of interpenetration; all phenomena in the universe being interconnected. Less connection to Mystic Flour there, but I wanted to note it.

Burning Spice also has religious symbolism behind him, this time coming from Hinduism. He is heavily based on the destruction deity Shiva’s more wrathful depictions. In Hinduism, destruction is more of a neutral force; part of the balance of the universe along with creation and preservation (the deities Brahma and Vishnu respectively). Burning Spice being such a harsh inversion of that neutrality fits the Beasts’ theme of being twisted virtues.

Shiva has a few animals associated with him, such as bulls, cobras, deer, and the one most important for this discussion: the tiger. Burning Spice already has stripe markings on his arms, and his main follower that we see in the game is Nutmeg Tiger Cookie.

Making Burning Spice a tiger would be a bit odd because of Nutmeg Tiger’s existence as one of his followers, but the idea of a giant, wrathful, firey tiger is just too perfect for Burning Spice in my eyes. Maybe add in some bull features to make him stand apart a bit more.

Eternal Sugar and Silent Salt I can’t really do much with yet since we don’t know anything about them other than their respective corrupted virtues, being Sloth and Silence. Eternal Sugar���s design seems to have an Angel and Devil theming, so perhaps some sort of bird? And Silent Salt I have absolutely no ideas for. I’ll have to figure these two out once they get added to the game and we learn more about them.

Anyways, hope yall enjoyed this silly analysis thing :) Also take a bonus doodle of snake/dragon Smilk that we did before making this post and that inspired us to write it in the first place lol (design still being workshopped; looking at him now we really should have made his hair into a cobra hood)

My Healer Cookie (Pure Vanilla Cookie) headcanons...

✧ Pure Vanilla Cookie is transgender (FtM/AFAB).

✧ He is the shortest of the ancients and I like to imagine him shorter than most of the beasts as well (except for Eternal Sugar who is the same height as himself).

✧ He is blind (very near-sighted).

✧ He has autism and he does suffer from an ED (I like projecting onto my favorite characters a lot).

✧ He is the prettiest princess.

✧ Healer Cookie is full of whimsy.

I love having random ass headcanons for the cookies- this is basically just Burning Spice and Mystic Flour bc they are stuck on my brain right now and I typed this at like 2 am so it may be messy oops-

Like yknow what Mystic Flour has aphantasia. Shadow Milk will be vividly describing an idea for a play and she'll have to sit down with a notebook and pen to draw everything out so she has the slightest clue what the fuck is going on. If you ask her to do a complicated equation in her head no paper allowed she'll slap you across the face.

Redemption arc Mystic getting more comfortable with showing her emotions wouldn't be her magically emoting more but instead shes basically adding tone indicators to everything she says. She'll have almost the same exact face and tone saying "I am having a lovely time with you" and "You are seriously irritating me right now. Go away." She'll still be straight to the point just a little bit more open with what she means.

Based on her defeat animation + the lore we have for her she has a tendency to web herself anytime she gets hurt and/or anxious. Someone will jump from around a corner to scare her and instead of screaming or jumping her arms are all covered in webbing and now she has to cut herself out again thanks a lot -_-*

Mystic Flour got so used to other cookies using her/not even caring about her existence as a fellow cookie that she is very slow to pick up on genuine compliments from others. (The other beasts are an exception. She has known those bastards since forever, but the whole lot of them RARELY ever express anything genuine anyways so thats a rare occurrence as well.)

Mystic just casually gaslights people (whether this is on purpose or not nobody knows). Someone will comment on her doing something different and her instinctual response is to say "what do you mean? I have always been this way." its even worse if shes embarrassed about something. No matter how hard you push she will deny deny deny, even if you shoved photographic evidence in her face she will INSIST that could be anyone, do you know how many shapeshifters there are in this world? She's good friends with one and he happens to love pulling a good prank or two. She is definitely being framed. You are crazy. Insane even.

Burning Spice was/is a MASSIVE hobby hopper. He has tried everything at least once, an absolute jack of all trades but nobody knows just because he doesn't talk about any of his old interests and as a beast he's only focused on destruction and warfare and the likes. During his forced redemption arc since he literally can't pursue such violence anymore he immediately falls back into his old habits.

Somebody will walk by like "Oh I know Mystic Flour is good at knitting so I was gonna ask is she had any advice on how I could get better at crochetin-"

"Your tension is WAY off. Give it."

"???"

100% would be the type where you get up at 2 am to get a glass of water and here's the bastard in the kitchen making 57 different variations of bread just because he couldn't/wouldn't sleep

(Bonus: Pure Vanilla makes the mistake of getting him a few cookbooks to help nourish the interest and now everyone has to deal with Golden Cheese constantly shoving new dishes at them in a futile attempt to save her rapidly declining kitchen space.)

Burning Spice is bad at vocalizing how something is carried out, he's more of a teaching by example type + the muscle memory kicks in which is also helpful in demonstrating what he means. (kinesthetic learner for the win!!)

Shadowmilk is actually a lot taller than he portrays himself, he used to be way shorter but with the new bodies he's about the same height as Eternal Sugar. After all the beasts saw each other again/when Shadowmilk was giving everyone the "we are BEASTS >:D" debrief everyone was basically like "get your ass back down there" so he's shapeshifted down to only a few inches taller than when he was the fount of knowledge (and thus the shortest of all the beasts + ancients alongside golden cheese)

I meant to ask about your ship chart when you first posted it, but I forgot, oops. I noticed that Shadow Milk has arrows pointing towards all of the other Beasts, but it looks like the only one with an arrow pointing back towards him is Mystic Flour? I'd love to hear the details on how you see the Beasts' relationships :D (I have seen speculation that SMC's view of them being friends is mostly one-sided, and the chart reminded me of that)

thiiis chart :3?

well, you noticed correctly! shadow milk wants to be friends (or really, anything at all) with all the beasts, but none of them can really match his energy, can't deal with him, or don't want to deal with him. (except for mystic flour, but that's because she just straight up does not care).

silent salt, silence, has ZERO relationships with anybody but white lily, and that's because i see them in a very particular way - they haven't been released yet, so i'm running purely off of headcanons here, but i don't think silence as a vice lends itself to wanting relationships with others anyways. the only reason i think they want something with white lily at all is because she's their other half. she is part of their soul. it "doesn't count" as breaking their silence if it's her.

burning spice, destruction (also extremely depressed), doesn't WANT a relationship with anybody but his own equal, that being golden cheese. he's done with outliving civilization, he's done watching everyone he cares about die. someone in the bxa server put it really nicely: he's an unstoppable force (destruction and death) looking for an immovable object (an immortal). because, that immortal would be the only one who could even begin to understand what he's gone through; watching every little mortal cookie he cares about grow old and die. shadow milk... does not understand that. he is not that immovable object. thus, burning spice has no interest in him or any of the other beasts. (he likely, very likely, could be persuaded to be friends with them all again. but he very likely isn't gonna be persuaded by shadow milk).

eternal sugar, being sloth, is too tired to deal with shadow milk's high energy shenanigans, so the only ones she vibes with are mystic flour (qpp) and hollyberry (her other half/soulmate). her update is about to drop, so i guess we'll see, but i can't see her concerned with anybody else beyond hollyberry. as for her relationship with mystic flour, she was once happiness, and mystic flour once cared a whole lot about cookies' happiness. they just kinda fit together, to me.

mystic flour, apathy, is the only one who reciprocates shadow milk's friendship, and that is purely and only because she does not care. she is apathy. he wants to be friends? okay, fine. whatever. not like it matters if she says yes or no. might as well give him what he wants. it'll be easier if she just lets him have his way.

shadow milk, deceit, is very, very lonely. he wants whatever relationship he can get with the other beasts at all - that's why the line from him is striped green (alterous, that which desires emotional closeness and does not care what form it takes). he's a little desperate to have someone, literally anyone... mystic flour has to put up with a lot of his complaining, but he appreciates her so very much for it. he just... never says it. and she doesn't care anyways.

Theory/Headcanon Time

Okay, a lot of people like the theory/headcanon that Black Sapphire and Candy Apple are Shadow Milk and Eternal Sugar's kids from a past relationship. A lot of folks think Eternal Sugar left Shadow Milk with the kids, but with the latest update, I think otherwise. Eternal Sugar would willingly harm those who try an leave her garden by attaching monsters to them via her "blessings." That and Pavlova mention not wanting to be turned into a statue and is scared of showing that he's not happy staying in the garden for the rest of his life. What if Shadow Milk took kids because he knows Eternal Sugar is crazier than he is and doesn't want to risk Candy Apple and Black Sapphire's safety, given that Eternal Sugar would draw harm to them or turn them into statues if they try to leave her domain. So, his having custody of the 2 is more so to protect them rather than Eternal Sugar being too lazy or not wanting anything to do with them. Cause she seems to be the type to give Shadow Milk absolute HELL if he tries taking them away from her domain, so he took them when he had the chance. Knowing Etertnal Sugar won't chase after him because that would mean she would have to leave her realm to do so. Anyways that's the end of my ADHD/Audtisc endused thoughts, hopefully it's a good read to ya'll :v Also keep in mind how scared Palvola is of her, and how she had literal baby angel things do her chores for her. She wouldn't be a good mother at all and be like one of those helicopter parents.

The beast with a easily flustered reader

The beast with a easily flustered reader

The bea-

The fact I’ve seen your same blog EVERYWHERE related to shadow milk cookie is both concerning, scary, and funny at the same time, also I got the flu so don’t mind this being rushed. I was completely clueless on how the other 4 would react because we have not seen them yet, so this is quite a guess.

The beasts x reader

Tw: jealousy

Type: headcanon, fluff

Shadow milk cookie

‘Oh? How many games can I make out of this..’ kinda reaction

All the beasts would be toxic lovers, ESPECIALLY SHADOW MILK COOKIE AND ETERNAL SUGAR

Abuse this power he would, making you flustered until your light headed (he’s a sadist)

Though don’t blush for anyone else (or he will rip both your arms off so you can never hug anyone again

I see him being a generally flirty cookie when it comes to a cookie he sees interest in

A teaser for sure

Eternal sugar

Finds it incredibly hilarious. How you can be so pathetic to fall for simple compliments like that

It’s starts growing on her

Tucks her wings around you just to see your face go pink/red for her own entertainment

Oh you get embarrassed when she says things to you? Well now she’s gonna do it more often

Don’t let this women find out you blush easily to others as well

Burning spice

DONT let him find that out, you will regret it

Pushes someone down a flight of stairs and calls it flirting, thats the type of cookie he is

So expect to be shoved a lot

He doesn’t do complements well and takes them as insults, burning spice can’t even say something nice without telling them that there a worthless piece of dough

So you being flustered around him is incredibly difficult to happen

If you did end up flustered some how around him, he probably takes that as a insult aswell

“Why are you making that face? Why are you turning red? ARE YOU CHALLENGING ME??”

Silent salt

He doesn’t care

Mystic flour

Being the most stable of the group and probably the ‘nicest’ of the group (the beasts are all mean but mystic is currently the most merciful)

Not clueless but not totally aware when you flustered

Though unlike the rest of the beasts, she does not take advantage of it..as much as the rest
