EXPIRED: Shadow Herald by Gaily Novelry

In the world of Rhimn, a Herald is a god’s highest servant, expected to carry out their god’s will until the day of their death. Navaeli of Nowhere knows this all too well. Bound in service of Silamir, a resurrected goddess of death and rebirth, her life has been one of constant cowering. Irongardhe knights hunt her down on the orders of Gardhe, the sun god who killed Silamir so long ago. Unfortunately, Silamir is eager to fight these battles herself, even if that means taking Navaeli’s body for her own. For the longest time, Navaeli has been resigned to her fate as either a corpse or a vessel for her vengeful goddess. Fate has other plans. An ugly encounter with a knight’s patrol puts her at the mercy of Crislie Crimsworth — a handsome, headstrong girl who solves her problems with her fists, and is dying to escape the disapproval of her mother. When Navaeli’s goddess forces her to move on before she’s fully healed, Crislie seizes the chance to follow her out into the world. But what starts off as an exciting opportunity becomes a desperate flight as the budding attraction between her and Navaeli forces Crislie to confront the crimes of her country. As if Crislie wasn’t enough trouble on her own, a chance meeting makes the two of them responsible for Meparik, a young feyrie thief with more trust in glamour than kindness. Together, the three will contend with the machinations of Rhimn’s pantheon, the cruelties of the Irongardhe, and the ugliness within themselves. There might be people worth surviving for after all! But is it possible to free Navaeli from her divine yoke, or will she be the first casualty in the oncoming war between the gods?

Headcanon of the beast cookies and the reader who was the only cookie who was able to brew ambrosia? Both before and after corruption. (Headcanon name for this reader cookie is Ambrosia Cookie)

☆ Sweet Like Saccharine — Beast Cookies x GN Reader HCs ☆

Genre: Fluff || they/them pronouns for reader || No warnings needed

A/N: I avoided using pronouns for Eternal Sugar and Silent Salt Cookie since they both don't have confirmed genders, and since they're unreleased I'm basically guessing their personalities

──────.𖥔 ݁ ˖˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗.𖥔 ݁ ˖ ──────

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Burning Spice loved using your talents for celebrations. He's an extremely prideful Cookie, and the ambrosia you brewed was better than anything on Earthbread. He always made sure to order in whole jugs of it, especially for when he won over Golden Cheese

ᯓᡣ𐭩 As the Herald of Change, he used your drinks as a sort of pick-me-up. Whenever he was stewing in his turmoil, a bottle of ambrosia with you was his favorite way of relaxing, if only for a while

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Eternal Sugar would use your gifts to bond. A quiet moment with you shared over praising your talent was a great way to get closer, especially when Sugar could laze around drinking with you rather than working

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Before becoming a beast, Eternal Sugar would almost always take time off to just drink with you. A moment of calm, Sugar lounging around and consuming all Sugar can in the carved out free time

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Silent Salt always drinks right before a fight. Salt's concentration is always so sharp that not even the strongest wine could dull it, so Silent Salt deemed it harmless to indulge just a little

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Even when Silent Salt wasn't known as an amethyst knight, Silent would use your talent to keep busy when in a noisy situation that Silent didn't want to be in. Silent would also stay right by your side, being a social shield for you so no one could bother you

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Mystic Flour essentially never drinks, but she remembers receiving your bottles fondly and never turns down ambrosia when it's offered. Though she has to be careful not to open her eyes, or it would immediately sour

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Back when she was granting gifts, your ambrosia was what she'd always adore the most. It was an offering that she gladly accepted, rejuvenating her just a little longer to push through the day

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Shadow Milk would basically drink for any reason. To celebrate, when bummed out, for really any excuse he felt deserved it. Ambrosia is sweeter and richer than anything on Earthbread, so of course he wanted to indulge whenever possible

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Before lies and deceit became all he knew, he used to split it with you over work. It'd be a way to try and work through the realization of existence together. A dull cure, but something that helped nevertheless

Guys, is it gay to tenderly hold the man who both completes and ruins you and who you went to the edge of the world/universe for right before you die together?

[eghostsofdeadchildren]

Solaire being on there is a bit unfair to the rest.

yaoi i drew for friends bday

1. Herald of Change x Twisted Acquisition (PrecorxAltcor AU)

2. Your usual Shadowspice/Burningmilk/whatever nonsense that i tossed together last minute

bonus kinda suggestive or freaky one

3. Sage of Truth x Herald of Destruction (PostRedxCor AU)

the voices won with this one

@airbreather1234god i debated posting this all bc of the last yaoi

[atherflame-theconcubus]

OK, I have another AU that I don’t know the name of yet because I’m still working on it and I’m focusing on one arc at a time, but each arc is going to be based around a musical and the first arc is the sprinkle circus arc

Should probably give context to this AU right now, for this AU instead of the beasts themselves being sealed in the silver tree at the side of the silver tree the beast, memories and powers were removed, and they were subsequently given to five of the first cookies from which is castle (who were tasked to watch over them) later on the five ancient need to seek out the former virtues in order to get counseling/advice on a threat that they are facing (threat pending)

As of right now, I have no clue who Mystic flour, silent salt or eternal sugar were given to, but I’ve determined that first sprinkle cookie took shadow milk cookie, and first Choco cookie took burning spice cookie.

Each arc is gonna be steamed around a musical and the sprinkle circus arc is based on the greatest showman with PV and the kids going to the sprinkle circus to find the fount of knowledge.

I don’t have everything on this AU planned out yet. I’m still working out the very first arc that came to mind which is the greatest showman arc, but during it I came up with the idea that while the former virtues don’t have their memories nor corruption anymore, who they were while corrupted still exists. The memories and corruption just sealed in the silver tree.

Is this the convoluted way of saying I just got to rewrite the stars while listening to the entire playlist for the greatest showman for an alternate universe? Yes.

Needless to say, this is adorable

[deceitfuldestruction]

somebody draw herald of change (precorrupted bspice) x shadow milk PLEASE. MY BABIES

[deus-ex-arcana]

Not to be a complete dweeb but Arcane Herald Viktor here really reminds me of Elden Ring's Midra

[crowswarm]

okay honestly im really confused as to how and why ambessa dies

like mel breaks the necklace, ambessa gets sent to the shadow realm where leblanc does ooky spooky shadow magic on her brain and mel steps in and frees ambessa but ambessa dies immediately after being set free.

why did mel send ambessa to leblanc? she says a "wolf has no mercy" did she intend to have leblanc kill her mother? and why does leblanc act like mel is betraying her by interfering? ambessa still ends up dead.

was leblanc like... looking for something in ambessas mind? is that why she didnt just have the chains crush ambessa like she did with elora? mel says "i know your face deceiver" so i assume she knows leblanc was lying about her intentions. but what then? leblanc knows what ambessa "stole" and from who. she knows ambessa is instrumental to the heralds plans and that's why she sends mel to stop her. was there something else? in that case why imply that right before shes about to die? it feels like an afterthought.

like maybe i wasnt paying attention to some key moment where someone says something that makes this scene make sense. but ive watched it and the scene where leblanc tells mel she has to kill her mother over again and i just. cant peice it together. like it was a little jarring and disorienting to watch as mel steps in to save her mother from the black rose only for ambessa to still die.... make it make sense
