#beast yeast speculations

[cheesecakemermaid1048]

Calling it right now,these(or least some of them) islands are gonna be play a role in future updates.I am sure everyone have already noticed that with each beast update,we get a side story connected to the main one.

First it was the white lily update,that introduced the beast lore and the fan favorite beast,Shadow milk.Then it followed by a side story update revealing dark enchantress making bodies for the beasts.

Second part of the main story was the mystic flour update,introducing one of the main villains as well as giving us more speculations for the future.Which bring us to now with another side story,introducing wind archer(my precious son) and the ultimate cookie.

Obviously,this came later down the line since it's more than likely the burning spice update will come after that.And after update is done will more than likely we get another side story that will focus on one of the other smaller islands.Because it seems like we are done with the lab...least for now.

It's a hunch but I feel the first nest will come much later since it seems to be something relating to the dragons and we all know they're gonna continue this story after all of the beasts are playable.So why not bring on the dragons?Dark enchantress is kinda getting stale,so it would be nice to get another main villain.I can see short lived saga with ultimate cookies but that's it.

The question remains whether or not,they will bring back the dragons from the original or make new ones is up for debate currently. Personally,I don't mind if they make new dragons because we are lacking in legendaries of different species.

Anyway,wow,this ended up being longer than expected lol.

So I was just thinking of this either last night or this morning, but I wonder if the order the Beasts are listed are also the order we’ll encounter them, since Shadow Milk is first in both cases. Which would mean that Mystical Flour is next

And I mean, the ordering of their regions would make sense with that too, considering MF’s region is right next to SM’s

I mean granted, World Exploration doesn’t necessarily follow the geography of the land, but also the Beast Yeast episode selection has the map on it, so maybe it does here

But anyways, so if Mystical Flour is next, that means we’re getting Dark Cacao’s counterpart next. Not only that, but the region also has one of the two dragons who’re presumably the ones from the Dark Cacao Kingdom

So that means we’re getting our Dark Cacao update soon, right?

I think the most scary part of hard sci-fi settings is that there wouldn’t be bread.

Like no planet besides earth would have actual yeast. Wild yeast can be found in the atmosphere, and unless it’s introduced in ridiculous amount another planet just. Wouldn’t have it. Even if introduced it might not be able to thrive.

And like, one obvious work-around is having a yeast equivalent on the planet; which is pretty feasible since fermentation is such an easy way to produce energy. A LOT of things use it in real life and alien life almost certainly would too. But in hard sci-fi where there’s a lot of realism, there would be very little chance that any alien yeast equivalent would be good for bread. If the yeast doesn’t live for long enough, if it doesn’t rise fast enough, or if it’s just. Not safe for humans to eat. It wouldn’t be good for bread

The other work around would be really good trade routes transporting packaged yeast. And every other material for bread.

BUT if you’re going slightly less hard sci-fi and you DO have edible equivalents for flour and uh. Buttermilk. You can just make bread with baking soda. Because you can mine baking soda, apparently. It’ll be denser and taste different from regular yeast bread, but it’s still bread.

[craske]

a small prediction, or speculation on where the story in beast yeast might go in the future, based on what weve seen in the story mode in the cookie lab

or, as one would say, fuck you unbeasts your jester

[burningcheese-merchant]

Got any theories, speculations, wishful thinking on how White Lily and Silent Salt’s Beast Yeast Episode could go?

It's hard to say. We know literally nothing about Silent Salt except his name and vice. I have ideas, but... are they really ideas? Or just fanciful daydreams? Wishful thinking is all I can really operate on right now, unfortunately.

Above absolutely all else, I want Silent Salt to be mute. I don't want to hear a single fucking sound from that man. Many people already do headcanon him as mute from what I've seen, and I'm 100% in that boat, as well. A mute character in this setting would be a very interesting concept to work with imo (like... How would he communicate? How would he sign when nobody actually has hands lol? You know?). But I think certain character traits that you don't often see in people irl and that majorly impact who they are as people (not just referring to disability, anything that might stand out a little extra or appear unconventional) can be fun to work with in storytelling, provided you actually know what you're doing with them. We already have a couple of characters who don't quite talk, like Sorbet Shark in cookie form and Candy Diver, but... that's not really the same. A character that is 100% mute, that literally does not and cannot speak, in a world and game like this where there is so much talking, would be a fun deviation from the norm.

As for him with White Lily, I think an interesting angle to explore would be Silent Salt actually not being as antagonistic towards her as the other Beasts are with their Ancients. Perhaps the slightest remnant of the original Light of Solidarity can shine through, even for just one moment, and allow him to almost... commiserate with this fellow lost soul. Because how different is White Lily from him, really? She succumbed to darkness, too. She's a Beast in all but name. Of course, he still wants his power back, and if he has to defeat/kill her, then so be it. But perhaps he doesn't find any joy or satisfaction in doing so, like his comrades did with their Ancients. He's not sad about it, but... I don't know. Maybe he finds White Lily to be a kindred spirit, at least in some small form. And maybe the smallest part of him thinks that all of this is just... such a shame. Such a big shame, indeed.

Idk if I articulated my thoughts very well there... I have a LOT of thoughts regarding Silent Salt and his (potential) character. I want to make a separate post talking about it, but I need to get them in order first. (I will say that if anything I've ascribed to him turns out to be canon in the future, I will be a very happy merchant and he will very quickly usurp Burning Spice as my favorite Beast lol)

[sunseed-fandump]

Let’s talk about Realm of Apathy rq and what I think this means for the next parts of the story.

And this isn’t talking about gameplay or anything like that this is purely from a lore and story perspective.

(Disclaimer that a lot of this is my own opinion and speculation based off of what we have seen so far.)

Based off of the events of Silver Kingdom and Realm of Apathy, I believe we’re really going to start getting a better idea of the extent of the Beasts powers. Their bodies might be crumbled, their spirits might be sealed, but their WILL is unrestrained; especially now that they’ve been awoken from their eons long slumber.

Twice now we have seen a Beast Cookie either completely alter reality to suit their own whims (Shadow Milk Cookie to the Faerie Kingdom) or create/maintain an entire plane of existence separate from the Real World. (Mystic Flour Cookie with the Ivory Pagoda and pretty much most of what we see in Episode 4)

The only other time we have seen this so far - to my knowledge - is Moonlight Cookie and her imperative role in maintaining the Dream World.

I wouldn’t be surprised if every Beast was capable of exerting their Will like this and creating entire domains.

This, to me, is truly a testament of their power; and if this is what they’re capable on only HALF of their original power??? Holy shit. It’s no wonder the Witches had to step in when they did. There was no way the cookies of the distant past would have been able to compete against LITERAL GODS.

Thankfully, now there’s a more even playing field.

What does this mean for the story going forward?

Well I’m not 100% certain, but I’m pretty sure with the next few Beast Updates we may or may not see their respective “domains” or realms. Representations of who they are and their ultimate desires.

I believe what we’ve seen from Mystic Flour Cookie wasn’t real, however what was shown in ep 4 was what she DESIRED to do when she obtained the means to do so (getting Dark Cacao's Resolution).

Remember, the Beasts are still in the Silver Tree. They can’t affect the real world until they are out. Shadow Milk Cookie couldn’t do so until he was able to break out during the events of episodes 1 + 2, and the moment he was sealed back up, all the circus stuff vanished. (The only wrench in the works here would be the Pale Ailment which spurred Dark Cacao Cookie into showing up to Beast-Yeast at all. The Fog was very much Real. However, considering the low number of casualties listed off by the apothecary at the end of Ep 4, AND the fact they were able to find a cure for it at all, makes me believe that this was a VERY WEAK version of what Mystic Flour had in mind.)

But you know what they CAN do??? Mentally assault and torment their Ancient Hero counterparts.

Just some food for thought :)

tl;dr: The Heroes are boutta go THROUGH IT and are gonna get BULLIED by a bunch of OLD ANGRY GHOSTS.

[fluffshi-wxffle]

Shadow Milk and the Beasts' Relationship

I had this thought for a while, but I want to hear everyone else's thoughts on this.

How do we really know if all the Beasts are truly friends? Yeah Shadow Milk called them his friends, but what if it's just that? HE considers them his friends, but what if they all don't like him/each other? They have to at least be somewhat conscious in the Silver Tree since Shadow Milk said he's "been waiting for so long for this moment" after the White Lily Sealing cutscene. So for all we know, they HAVE gotten sick of each other in there or maybe they haven't liked each other before being sealed (at least for the other Beasts. Shadow Milk still seems to see them in a positive light)

In Beast Yeast Episode 3, Cloud Haetae said the cookies that invaded Mystic Flour's temple had glowing eyes that were "ablaze with hatred" and the cutscene art showed they had red glowing eyes (yes I know they could have red eyes because "they were so angry they saw red", but its also speculated that Burning Spice sent their cookies to attack Mystic Flour). Burning Spice's entire color theme is red (their name even was leaked accidentally to be Red Spice before it was changed to Burning Spice). Yes, it could also be Cloud Haetae being all dramatic, but Mystic Flour recounting her side of the story confirms Cloud Haetae wasn't lying about what happened. Maybe it was the cookies blessed with her power but corrupted/influenced by Burning Spice who knows.

And based on the new short on the Cookie Run: Kingdom YT channel, Mystic Flour is aiming to turn all of the cookies on Earthbread to flour (or maybe she's selecting certain cookies? Cloud Haetae said "Wouldn't the world be better with only nice Cookies?" or something like that in episode 3). Wouldn't she be aiming to at least not do such a large scale move so her friends can do their thing as well? Unless they're not friends and they're all fighting for one plan with the Cookies of Earthbread. It's like the trope of a villain group that can easily fall apart because the villains don't like each other and start fighting and that's how the heroes win. It could be an Apathy thing that Mystic Flour doesn't care about the other Beasts and probably just sees them as annoying coworkers or something lol. She could also be weakening Earthbread for an easier takeover when the other Beasts are free, who knows.

I could be wrong and maybe Mystic Flour ends up saying the other Beasts are her friends in EP 4 next week.

[cuppajj]

Don't mind me as I found out this AU a day ago and heard you're waiting for BY ep 4 to form stuff w Dark Choco and Frigid Cacao and BOY do I have ideas.

(This is going to be a long ask, it's been cooking for a while and I need to ramble abt it, hopefully Tumblr won't eat it. Also a little spoilers about ep 13 & 14 and odyssey ch 1 if you're not there yet)

So, we're not talking about Dark Choco's perspective just yet (I'm also waiting on BY ep 4 for that) but from Cacao, we can establish stuff about how he feels about Choco in canon and go from there and speculations on BY ep 4.

Canon Cacao very clearly loves his son and truly longs for him back in his life. But, as referenced from the Hollyberry interaction, he's very reluctant to seek him out, preferring Choco approach him first instead.

One of the ways Cacao shows his love is how he respects the boundaries of those close to him (and, in turn, expects the same for them to him. That's why he violently snaps at Clotted Cream and feels very betrayed by Vanilla for keeping Lily a secret in Odyssey) and I feel this applies to Choco the most. He understands Choco needs his time and space, especially after the whole ep 14, and won't feel comfortable around him or his kingdom for a while. There's also the chance that Choco may not want to have him in his life again (untrue) and he'd rather not risk finding out that's true by personally seeking him out and further upsetting his son. (That last one was just my interpretation but AUGH)

This is the building blocks I found for forming Frigid Cacao's side of the relationship. Should Dark Choco return to the kingdom, Frigid Cacao would feel Very Much Conflicted™️ about having him back, but for different reasons.

On one hand, he would be relieved and overjoyed to sense his son's return. There's so much lost time, so much regrets, he wanted to make up for it and rebuild his relationship anew. But on the other hand, this clashes with the Soltitude he built for himself. Accepting his son back in his life would mean breaking down his walls, thus tearing down everything he built and betraying his own light. Perhaps that part of him would also be angry that Dark Choco would impose this on him. But it saddens him to turn him away. And so on and so forth it cycles.

This duality is the internal conflict that, while it opens the gate for redemption (or at least loosen his terror and maybe actually get him outside), is also very hectic for Choco himself because it also manifests in his powers.

The licorice monsters are noticably more docile around him, but they can just as soon lash out randomly, coming in big waves and heading for only one target. The weather is constantly shifting from mild snow to freezing blizzards in minutes. The paths feel cleared out but it feels like there's always something out to get him.

That's assuming Choco didn't return to the kingdom after the Beast Yeast expedition (bc I'm assuming you're setting Cacao's fall after BY ep 4). But if he did, there's two possibilities. One is the more boring Frigid Cacao's reign didn't last really long bc Choco was there from the beginning. The other one, ooh the other one also works as a bad ending for the first scenario.

(I ended up writing a full oneshot for it. If you want, I can send it in another ask, hahaha)

As someone who hasn’t gotten to that chapter in odyssey yet (i really oughtta watch a video on it bc these quills brake for nobody), this is a really good reference for Cacao and Choco in beast ancients!! I won’t say much about Choco since yeah I’m waiting for apathy pt 2 but I’ve definitely been wanting him to be a huge source of conflict for frigid cacao in the au, and this helps describe it pretty well. Cacao’s fall is being worked on because the timeline of beast ancients is a WIP, it does come after BY 4 for all I know atm, and whatever happens to Choco in that episode will determine where he is and how he affects his dad when he becomes a beast. But the bottom line is that it is not gonna be easy for either of them either way :D

Would love to see your one shot btw!

Potential Swap AU pt. 3(OLD)

I'm still thinking about making this official, mind you. Anyways, welcome to my third blog about this speculative AU project thing. Which isn't so speculative anymore, surprise! I call it Exchanged Fates, and all past and future updates about this AU will have the tag #exchangedfatesau. Today, we've finally reached the last Beast-Ancient pairing, Shadow Milk Cookie and Pure Vanilla Cookie! A fair warning, this one is longer than the others, so be warned. I talk waaaay more here.

Preamble There's a reason why these two are last. Knowledge is a pretty hard virtue to make something out of, and it's even harder when Truth and Deceit are two classic foils. You can make the truth a problem, but lies are always going to be tricky to make a good thing. Initially, Truth would be made into Judgement, but I scrapped it once I realized I couldn't think of anything for Deceit. So I took a break for a bit. I had a birthday and then several historical events just slapped me in the face-

Eventually, I had an epiphany. And I'd like to show you all now, if you'll allow me to. Behold,

Pure Vanilla Cookie, Beast of Despair and Shadow Milk Cookie, Ancient Hero of Hope

...I can feel my Danganronpa phase resurface. No time to waste, let's begin with Pure Vanilla. Throughout the story, he's presented as a paragon character, the most virtuous of the ancients. And it's somewhat true, but there's more to him than just altruism. He's quite sharp, able to discern the plans of his enemies and very emotionally intelligent, but is prone to some self loathing and suffers from an inferiority complex. I'm not *quite* well spoken enough to make a deep analysis on him, although I wish I was. He's so interesting to me and the fandom kind of brushes him off as this sweet old man-twink. Now he is, but there's so much more going on with him. If anyone does a deep analysis into him, I want to know immediately.

Sorry! Got sidetracked there, anyways! Why despair, hmm? Let's head back to his negative traits, the self loathing and the inferiority complex. Pure Vanilla struggles with his self image, blaming himself for how the flour war turned out and feeling as if he failed to protect the ones closest to him. Even after restoring his kingdom, he struggles with these feelings. Granted, it's not as bad as it was before, but you can still feel bits of it in Odyssey and in Beast-Yeast. Despite this, he still pushes onwards, being a beacon of hope for many. But there's only so much the soul can take. Even he can recognize when someone has to be stopped for the greater good, even if they did mean the world to him.

Fittingly, if he was one of the first to gain his soul jam, he'll be the last to turn, how tragic. Pure Vanilla would try everything in his power to save his friends, and when his efforts are unsuccessful, he has to stop them alone. Of course, the former ancients try to turn him to their side, and the battle of wills is long and painful. Since the roles are reversed, Elder Faerie exists and tries to help where he can, but he can see the writing on the wall and prepares for the worst. Eventually, Pure Vanilla falls. Despite everything he's done, nothing changes. He isn't strong enough to save them, and he isn't strong enough to stop them. He's only delayed the inevitable for himself, and even now his soul jam has begun to corrupt. Forced to face his own helplessness, he turns, finally joining his friends in sowing chaos across Beast-Yeast.

The Timeless Kingdom, once a refuge for escapees of the the other kingdoms, becomes stuck in time. Y'know how Blue Diamond emotionally manipulated those around her to make them submit to her will? Imagine that but worse. The kingdom feels like it's frozen in time. Nothing ages or rots, just... distorts. The moment you step foot there, you can feel your strength waver. Walking around, you see people consumed by agony as they stay in place weeping aloud, their bodies warped by a deep sadness as their hollow eyes stare back at you. Unlike the other beasts, Pure Vanilla's palace is open for anyone to visit, almost like he's flaunting his strength. You'll soon understand why. If you make the dumb choice and see him, you'll find him kneeling behind a veil. He'll greet you and talk to you for a moment. But don't be fooled. He's still a beast, and before you know it, you're overwhelmed. Visions of your greatest regrets flood your senses. Every action you've ever taken, every right and wrong choice flashes right in front of your eyes. Fight all you want, you're eventually consumed by it all, and become like the other residents of this forsaken kingdom. Forever reliving your worst moments in a never ending mental purgatory. If some of this sounds familiar, I took some inspiration from Bloozstella's blue diamond swap AU for this, by the way. Go check that out if you have time!

~~~~~~~~~~~

Now... Shadow Milk Cookie. The fandom's new favorite blue gremlin/pos. He's clever, charismatic, perceptive as hell, a lover of the theatre, and very cocky in his abilities. The very first time we see him, he gets to work immediately, corrupting some fairies, tormenting Pure Vanilla Cookie, and taking over the faerie kingdom, and that's just him toying around with them all. Interestingly enough, despite being the embodiment of deceit, he shares more truth than lies with the players and the hero gang, revealing Dark Enchantress' plans and telling them that all the other beasts have been awakened after his temporary defeat. His lies have been fairly obvious for the most part, which is a bit strange. I wonder if there's a reason for that...

So... Why hope? Why in the witch's oven would I make such a menace hope? Because of how he handles the truth. In canon, Pure Vanilla doesn't handle the truth too well. He'll confront it, but he has a tendency to get consumed in himself or worry about how others would take it. Shadow Milk, even before he turned to darkness, feels like he would embrace it without hesitation and keep moving like a runaway train. Pure Vanilla is reactive, Shadow Milk is proactive, and his curiosity and determination could make him overcome any obstacle. Probably why he's so dangerous, asides from the immense power he has.

You can probably guess that my head canon for him is that he was the last beast to turn evil, so naturally he's gonna be the very first cookie to get his soul jam! And he starts in the Blueberry Academy. Kind of, it's not formed yet when he begins. Our shadow menace starts out as an aspiring scholar/adventurer and thrill seeker. He's definitely a nerd, kinda like Wizard Cookie, and begins his hero's journey exploring the world. On one particular expedition, he visits the continent of Beast-Yeast, but doesn't make it that far before passing out. He wakes up in the company of fairy cookies who took pity on him, and is taken to Elder Faerie. Unsurprisingly, he tells Shadow Milk Cookie to go back to Crispia once he's recovered because this place is far too dangerous for him and he'll die. Unsurprisingly he takes this as a challenge, and during his stay he reads up on the place in the library. Far too invested to leave, he starts exploring beyond the kingdom in secret, and finds the soul jam deep within the forest.

Eventually he gets caught, and Elder Faerie wants to take the soul jam away from him, but whoops! It's already attuned to Shadow Milk and there's nothing he can do about it. Realizing there isn't much he can do, he at least offers to train him to use it properly, prompting a few training sessions before sending him off. When Shadow Milk gets back, he doesn't establish a kingdom. Instead he goes to find others like him first. For his research, of course. Eventually he ends up forming the group of the Ancients, and finally establishes his kingdom. He doesn't feel like he'd have a traditional kingdom. Rather, it would be more like the Creme Republic! It's a hub of the arts and sciences, a place where the brightest and most creative cookies can show their talents to the fullest potential. He finally founds the Blueberry Yogurt Academy in his "kingdom", and he, alongside a personal council makes the rules. In reality, the council does all the work and he acts more as a figurehead so he can focus on his own personal projects. He's definitely the most hands on with his subjects, hosting events, mingling with the commonfolk, exploring, etc. At least before the Dark Flour War... But that's a story for another time.

~~~~~

Finally... I'm DONE. No more foundation, now I can just think and edit. Mystic Flour's part is outdated with her release and now I have to rectify that in the future. I hope you all enjoyed this miniseries! I will be taking questions on both this AU and Fading Letters. I'll try to answer any questions a lot quicker this time, and hopefully the rest of this month is uneventful. Please.

This is being posted at like, 1 AM in the morning, so good night everyone! Hope you have a peaceful night!

Theory: The St. Pastry Order is Worshipping The Five Beasts.

This is gonna be a speculation theory of mine about the five newest characters in Cookie Run Kingdom- The Five Beasts and how they could be connected to the St Pastry Order!

And like always…

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

First of all, let’s start with Exhibit A- aka that one scene in Cookie Odyssey.

Ya know how Millie-Feuille Cookie was leading a CULT of kids with fragments of the Soul Jams?

Well, I theorize that they were gonna give those shards to the St Pastry Order so they can revive the 5 Beasts for good.

Heck, Mystic Flour Cookie LOOKS like someone from the St. Pastry Order!! Especially with the headpiece and the outfit!

And Eternal Sugar Cookie looks like a fallen Angel- because in her design, she has Angel wings and a halo + devil wings and a devil tail!

And not just that, in Exhibit B, aka the opening cinematic for the Beast Yeast update, they’re all sealed in Forks. And you know what else has forks? The St. Pastry Order!

And you know what that could mean as well? THE ST PASTRY ORDER COULD HAVE A LOCATION IN BEAST YEAST!!!

And not only that, I personally predict they’re gonna return in a future world exploration episode/Special Episode where it’s revealed that the FIVE BEASTS are the ones they’ve been worshipping.

TL;DR: The St Pastry Order is worshipping the Five Beasts.

Untitled Hope (Sixth Virtue AU)

(Sooooo here's a NEW hyperfixation idea I had while playing CRK. While I have seen quite a lot of Sixth Virtue AUs, I was wondering what if the Beasts were all siblings? What if like, they accidentally killed their youngest sister? And what if she reincarnated with an incomplete memory? Well, here's the world building post, and I might continue it if I feel like it.)

How would cookies from the era of the Virtues and Beasts describe that said era as?

Perhaps they would call it “paradise”? They also might have called it “Doomsday”.

How about “Hell on Earthbread”?

Or maybe even “The year the harvest was bountiful, but the skies turned red”.

There were many mixed opinions about the Five Virtues of Knowledge, Volition, Change, Happiness and Solidarity, who turned into the Five Beasts of Deceit, Apathy, Destruction, Sloth and Silence. Some say that during their reign, nothing could have been better. Others would remark in the records that having the Five Beasts in the world existing at their prime reportedly “turned the skies red and scorched the whole of Earthbread”. Though none lived long enough to tell the tale, there was one cookie, whose Life Powder cycled through the world after she died, and retained some of her memories, though it was still incomplete. That cookie was the Sixth Virtue, the Virtue of Innocence and Hope.

According to the many records located in Elder Faerie Cookie’s archive, the former Virtue of Hope prevailed through the fight against the darkness and transcended beyond her current limits to gain a power far beyond her former ability called “Innocence”. She was never named in many records, though many cookies speculated grandiose names such as “Pure Yeast Cookie” or “Shimmering Yeast Cookie”, she was not even a Yeast Cookie at all! On the contrary, she was…

Just a flower cookie. A flower cookie known as “Pure Daisy Cookie”. It was also said that everywhere she stepped, no matter how barren or snow filled the land she travelled was, there would always be daisies seen where her footsteps had once landed. There was some evidence that Pure Daisy Cookie had gone almost everywhere in Earthbread though, due to the amount of Sugar Daisy flower seeds that could easily be found around the whole of Earthbread. 

However, that was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to the story of the Virtue of Innocence and Hope. The question was, how did her story end?

It was… a sad ending, for such a pure being in this land of betrayal and pain.

While the other Virtues turned and succumbed to darkness, Pure Daisy Cookie had prevailed over it with new power, but fighting against her brothers and sisters as the youngest was something her heart could not take. She also did not want to kill them, and went to the Witches, begging them to seal her siblings instead of killing them. It was said that the Witches were adamant about their decision, but Pure Daisy Cookie had somehow managed to convince the Witches to seal instead of kill.

However, it was this choice that doomed the Virtue of Innocence and Hope to her fall.

When trying to distract her siblings in a battle, she had severely underestimated how powerful the darkness had turned her beloved older brothers and sister’s powers, twisting and warping them into something even Pure Daisy Cookie could not deny was of an unholy descent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hehehehe… HAHAHAHA! Come on, my dear sister~ the darkness made us stronger than ever! You could join us in overthrowing the Witches, and we would be the masters of our own fate! The world would turn into our very own stage!”

“No! Blueberry Milk Cookie, you have to fight it! Fight the darkness, please! We are meant to protect and guide the world! Not to lie to the world or rule it!”

“Why even bother with protecting this… futile world, little sister? It is simply… helpless. Besides, cookies are such breakable creatures. Everything they do to satisfy their endless greed is in vain, and we simply should assist in making them realise that.”

“Please, Light Flour Cookie, we’re supposed to teach the cookies how to live!!! We were meant to be their guides to the light! Not to the twisted path of pure apathy! They’re breakable, that’s why we were created to protect them!”

“HAHAHAHA! That’s exactly why they’re so… FUN to play with! They’re so WEAK, it makes it all the more satisfying to crumble them!”

“Come on, Red Spice Cookie! Your axe was once a symbol of change and protection… it could be that once again! Please, please fight it! Fight the Destruction corrupting you now!”

“*yawn*... Dear little sister, step out of our way. It’d be easier for you to go back to sleep after all this is over, and then we can sleep in as much as we want if we rule the world! Come on, join us and it would be quicker for us to just rule the world this way!”

“Radiant Sugar Cookie, you once brought this world to happiness and love! You were a guide, a friend to all! I’m begging you… just fight the darkness that’s closing your eyes, we all could guide Earthbread to a happier future!”

“...”

“Your silence already says it all to me, Silver Salt Cookie… you were a great elder brother to almost all of Cookiekind, it could be that way again if you come back to the light!”

The fighting consumed much of Pure Daisy Cookie’s energy, and she was already worn down as her brothers and sisters with more combat experience landed one hit too many, that was harder than most, causing the Virtue of Innocence and Hope to collapse to the ground in exhaustion. It remained that way for a few minutes, with the Beasts expecting Innocence to get up and keep fighting.

“Alright Innocence! Show’s over, come and join us! Get up and fight!”

The Five Beasts felt a wave of concern for their youngest sister, with her lack of response. Mystic Flour Cookie glided over, with the most amount of expression on her face ever since she became the embodiment of Apathy as she knelt down to check on her beloved younger sister’s pulse.

“How is she?”

“...!”

Mystic Flour Cookie turned to face the other Beasts, an expression of horror on her face.

In a strict tone, she asked, “Burning Spice Cookie, how hard were your strikes to our younger sister?”

“Eh?? Not that hard. Just enough for her to learn a lesson,”

Silent Salt Cookie, who was getting concerned, knelt down to check on her pulse.

“..!”

Shadow Milk Cookie began to become concerned as he walked over and asked Mystic Flour Cookie what was wrong. That was when the revelation came upon them.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE’S GONE?!”

Pure Daisy Cookie was dead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Witches, who witnessed this scene, were enraged. Their final, ultimate creation had been crumbled by her brothers and sisters. In their fury, they sealed the Beasts, casting upon them a spell of binding and pain, making all Five Beasts suffer as long as they were in captivity of the Silver Tree.

They stripped the Five Beasts of their power, and rebaked the five vestiges of their power into what became Truth, Resolution, Abundance, Passion and Freedom.

However… Innocence’s purity was impossible to rebake. Her power was completely destroyed in the process of sealing the beasts, and her secondary power of Hope remained locked away, allowing none without the purity of Innocence to wield it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elder Faerie Cookie closed the scroll as he finished the story, looking at White Lily Cookie, Pure Vanilla Cookie and the Brave Gang.

Gingerbrave spoke up, “So there WAS a Sixth Virtue, and she was called Pure Daisy Cookie, huh?”

“Indeed. However, since all Life Powder returns to the earth, there must be some form of hope that the Virtue of Innocence would be able to return, and her power of Hope with it. After all, Earthbread needs all the power it can get to fight the Five Beasts once again…”

At that moment, Strawberry Cookie piped up, “Um… but doesn’t Daisy Cookie over there almost share the same name as Pure Daisy Cookie?” Everyone looked towards Daisy Cookie, whose small frame was weaving a flower crown of her signature flowers. She noted everyone’s gaze on her and curiously tilted her head.

“Huh? Did I do something wrong?”

CRKNews about the next Beast under the cut

Guys I am over the moon about this

Granted, I’m not entirely sure yet if this is true or not, give it a while before people can confirm, but if it is I am so happy

First off, I said Eternal Sugar didn’t make sense to go next! Mystic Flour makes way more sense than Eternal Sugar. Though Sugar being after Flour I think would also make sense, just not Sugar after Milk/Elder Faerie

Second, we know that one of the twin dragons is there. This current update is about their backstory, and then in a couple updates we’re getting to see them in person. Us North and South Dragon fans are being fed good. And also with this, even more Dark Cacao content

The devs said “alright we’ve kept the Dark Cacao Kingdom fans waiting long enough, we’re just gonna give them everything”

Sorry I’m probably overreacting, I’ll be more rational later on

Oh but also as I was typing this, they gave us a new thing, featuring Mystic Flour’s eyes

Hello creator of the s*icidal burning spice headcanon, i was wondering about how you think nutmeg tiger would react to this information :3

Oh my God! thanks for the ask and... WOW, that is certainly a title. I know I have been sharing my theory sort of excitedly, but I didn't realize it would stick to me so much that it would become a title or what I'm known by... a pretty wicked one at that. But anyway, to your question. I don't think the answer is as cut and dry as people might think.

The entire culture around Burning Spice is built off of strength being everything, those with the most strength being the leaders with no questions asked. Fights are so common that most creatures don't blink an eye when family or friends start to fight, if anything it's encouraged... so, wouldn't Tiger Nutmeg Cookie be upset her master would seemingly want to end his existence and give up such a powerful role?... yes and no.

My biggest forms of evidence for this is the behavior of burning spice and his cookies, as well as the spice storms existence. From this point on I have to go into some spoilers regarding episode 5 of Beast yeast, you may want to stop reading if you haven't played it.

++++++++++++++++

My first sign of evidence that death isn't all that frowned upon (or at least cared about in away cookies from crispia might see it), is the fact that burning spice cookie was extremely dismissive of the injuries of tiger nutmeg cookie when he had finally met golden cheese. And yes I'm fully aware that he's a beast cookie, and holds the light of Destruction, AND has killed potentially millions of others, but he isn't the only one to show this lack of care when it comes to damage other people around them.

When Pepper Pangolin Cookie came back from their defeat by Golden Cheese Cookie, others were more impressed that they could be damaged at all rather than any potentially life-threatening injuries. We've already seen that they don't care about lesser spices by this point, is another Warrior dying in the midst of battle really a tragedy?... or is it simply life weeding out the weak from the strong?

I think the spice storms is my biggest evidence that they really don't have a problem with dying. The spice storm holds the emotions of the lands passed ancestors, acting as a sort of natural library of the past... and perhaps the world's way in honoring those who have fallen. There are plenty of cultures in the real world who don't believe death is necessarily a bad thing, which I encourage you to do your own research on since I don't have the time to show them on this post.

So with all that said, do I think Nutmeg Tiger Cookie would be upset if she found out about Burning Spice Cookie's plan of self-destruction? Kind of. Keep in mind this is all just speculation, but I'll try my best to explain her possible feelings.

She could be excited that Burning Spice desires such a fate. If he had crumbled then it was simply meant to be and that would mean someone else would have to take up the mantle, maybe even her.

But there's also a chance such an idea never crossed her mind and she doesn't know how to deal with it. With things in the spice lands always changing in a way, Burning Spice and his Legends are some of the only consistent things some cookies have.. and now he wants to throw it all the way? are his cookies not entertaining enough?... is she not entertaining enough?

-----

That's what I believe anyway, I would write a lot more but I'm on vacation and even doing this post was a bit of a hassle. That doesn't mean to stop asking me things as this question really made me think, I would love to answer more questions from the community.

HI

UH

I AM VERY CURIOUS ON WHAT THE HELL IS SHADOW MILK'S BEHAVIOUR AND INTERACTION WITH THE ANCIENTS AFTER GETTING HIS SOUL JAM STOLEN

DOES HE TRIES TO LIKE, GET IT BACK OR SOMETHING?

ALSO LOVE SO MUCH HOW YOU DRAW HIMM

HI THANK YOU SM IM HAPPY YOU LIKE IT 🥺

yapfest incoming

the interactions are very uh. complicated. as you can probably imagine. considering thats the fucking Beast that not only was tormenting Pure Vanilla and White Lily but also killed Elder Fairy and devastated the Faerie kingdom. so things are a little, itty bitty slightly tense between him and literally everyone

if they could theyd leave him there for dead but thatd be really irresponsible so what else was there to do than to apprehend the still big (literally) threat. for quite a while tho he is just trying to adjust to not being this all powerful force (meaning hes being a miserable wet thing with a very bad migraine) (dont worry it doesnt stop him from brewing plots)

bc a very large portion of his powers is gone, he isnt really that dangerous anymore (but also he isnt neutralized). and since all of this is a speculation because we currently have No Idea what will happen in the future of the Beast Yeast arc, i like to believe the beast yeast expeditions retreated back to Crispia and Shadow Milk is being held as a prisoner. under constant supervision of couse, cant have the clown start doing his clownery again

since im a biiig sucker for antagonists turned begrudging ally (or an actual ally as time goes on), he turns out to be a good source of intel, plus provides some surprisingly important insight. yeah they all hate eachother and hold massive grudges (esp in case of the two doomed lovebirds) but they have a common enemy. and shadow milk wants his powers back.

but.... wouldnt it be funny if the lack of overwhelming almost limitless power had an effect on his (and by that extent, other beasts) mind? if that force didnt push and pull and mold and break down and put it back together? and maybe something started to change, or in fact revert?

well who knows! imagine that happening lol

Spoilers for Beast Yeast Episode 3 + speculations for Episode 4

So everyone's speculating about how Dark Choco is in Beast Yeast too, but I wanna know how tf did he get there. Did he stowaway on the ship? If so, what was his reason?

Did he see the situation that's going on in the Cacao Kingdom and wanted to help find a cure? If so, was he trailing behind Cacao, or was he in the search for a different thing, a herb that may combat the effects of the plague?

Does he have some idea of what beast Cacao's dealing with, maybe from his prior knowledge on Dark Enchantress' plan?

Also, if he did stowaway on the ship, how has nobody noticed? Especially the cream wolves. Yanno, the kingdom's literal scent dogs technically.

Edit: I forgot he snuck into the castle without anyone knowing back in Crispia Episodes 13-14, ignore that last bit lmao.

Hydrogen Anon, I know I'm back rather quickly, but I'm gonna talk about Creme Republic in the Self Aware AU because it's my favourite location in the game.

Some Cookie Odyssey Spoilers--

The Creme Republic would probably first take notice of Gingerbrave and company sometime around Chapter 10, possibly before, seeing as at the start of Cookie Odyssey, it's established they had tabs on the Ancient Heroes. Though the small group of people with access to this information would all be rather confused..

How are a group of young teens with a thief no less, able to go to all these locations and manage this?? So they keep even closer eyes on the group, maybe even sending some cookies to watch them in their travels. This is when they find out about MC, which is seemingly this mysterious sentient being, hiding away, yet advising them every time they get into a fight..

Weird.

I also imagine that if MC ever ends up in Earthbread by some ridiculous circumstance, this would probably be a very, not bad per se.. (there is duskgloom and beast yeast after all). But just not great place to land in. You're in a city with no money, and people are giving you weird looks because you clearly aren't from here and don't know where you're going.

(Going thru some characters) - beware very ooc.

I feel like Clotted Cream would just be completely thrown for a loop, it kind of made sense until he was told that the cookies had never actually heard this figure "speak", MC just guided them into a battle formation and then they'd win. It sounds completely ludicrous. I think that CCC wouldn't suspect MC to be a higher power initially, but would suspect MC, whatever they were, had some level of strategic genius to lead a group that effectively, all while never actually being seen.

Financier and Madeleine don't initially think MC is a celestial or anything, that's jumping the gun a little, in fact when the Council of Heroes happens they find MC a little unnerving, MC has eyes everywhere, nobody can see them, and they never say anything. MC just keeps watching. By the time Ch.2 and 3 roll around they get convinced though. MC literally guided all of them, helping in fighting the masked cookies, as well as defending the republic when DE attacked, when they finally witness MCs bizarre guidance in person they walk away with a really different perception, MC being some kind of celestial isn't completely impossible.

When news of the weird entity reaches the elders, they've all got radically different perceptions of MC, (I won't go thru them all it will take forever) - I think Caviar wouldn't care in the slightest what they were, if they really are some higher power, and so far, mute, they probably won't be telling anyone anytime soon, speculation is fine, but the more important issue is if they're a threat or not, and so far, despite their suspicious demeanor they haven't *really* done anything bad.

Honestly I have no idea where Oyster would stand on this, wherever she stands though, she probably keeps her opinion very secretive, though. Or holds off on making assumptions until they have more information.

I'll do Expresso too, screw it. He subscribes to the belief that you're a cookie with incredibly powerful magic, plain and simple. (I could also see him not caring either, but in this case I imagine curiousity getting the better of him).

Though--out of the lot he finds MC the most unnerving, for exactly that reason. If they are a cookie, why do they never show themselves or speak, even in emergencies??

I hope you liked my *very* out of character rambles about the Creme Republic, use these HC how you want, they aren't very good lmfao.

Hello again Hydrogen, welcome back.

I do believe that CCC are very confused about Mc and want to find some understanding not liking how they know nothing of them.

I think when Mc first landed in Earthbread I felt like everyone at first could see them but for right now so unknown things happen where they are not invisible but only those they chose can see them.

And I think that the Mc can talk but when that unknown thing happened it kind of messed up their way of speaking. Kind of like tinkerbell where all you hear are bells when she speaks or they don't need to say anything but yet they still know what they are saying, or some form of sign language.

Just imagine those cookies shocked and confused when they see Mc leading them to battle. But I think Mc really cares about the main squad as to them they are also confused about this new place.

But I do think after Mc helps out with fighting the masked cookies more about their existence started to be talked about.

I do like your self aware hc better than what I can do, does make me want to write oneshots.
