Silly sketches I did like a week ago.
Idk but the way they’re framing Dark Cacao rn with the whole “a bunch of people broke in tried to my steal my (fake) treasure and called me a fake immortal” backstory for Mystic Flour combined with the whole yin/yang symbolism in that one frame from the trailer and the fact that she still seems to want what’s best for cookiekind added onto the fact that Dark Choco (a character about second chances and forgiveness) is showing up in BY book 4…. Idk makes me think that maybe she’s getting redeemed or something.
Not a serious theory or anything, I’m totally wrong but it’s fun to think about. The beast updates actually being about the 5 heroes Friendship is Magic-ing their way into helping the beasts like come to terms with their situation and learn to coexist with the two halves of their soul jam.
Maybe that could be what the “Awakened” states are- becoming the whole soul jam light thingy. Or maybe just accepting their place as a half. Like I said, not a serious prediction it’s just fun to think about.

The Plague Approaches! | Looking into The Awakening of White Apathy Update for CRK!
Tumblr media
The Pale Ailment looks to be a sickness that’s coming from a storm that had been carried over from Beast Yeast. Is this natural for that continent or is Mystic Flour Cookie trying to bait Dark Cacao Cookie into heading over there to face her?
Tumblr media
Is that Mystic Flour Cookie’s actual body in there? Butter Roll may have worked for nothing, lol.
Tumblr media
THERE SHE IS! PLAYABLE MYSTIC FLOUR! She’s a Healing class too, pretty ironic for a cookie that’s currently causing a plague. The Healing class is making a comeback with this one.
She also appears to have this quirk where her background and such gradually change the more you promote her.
Tumblr media
Cloud Haetae Cookie! I thought for sure they’d be a Special rarity cookie, but I guess not. The Peach Blossom cookie doesn’t seem to be present in this trailer, she’s for part 2 then.
Tumblr media
Stormbringer Cookie’s costume has been dipped in butter.
Tumblr media
New element? The cookie choice for Darkness is a bit odd, I can understand cookies like Licorice or Dark Choco, but Caramel and Crunchy Chip?
Tumblr media
YOUNG GOLDEN CHEESE AND WHITE LILY OH MY CHEESE-
Tumblr media
This update is gearing to be quite the big one what with Mystic Flour approaching and the Beasts overall beginning their attacks on the Ancients. If the order is stuck to from Elder Faerie, then we could expect Eternal Sugar in the future, maybe….
———————————————————————
Tumblr media
“Y/N Cookie, come to me…”
You shake your head vigorously, refusing her request as you try to keep the grip on your weapon steady, stepping back from the slowly approaching Beast cookie.
“No, leave…them alone!”
Dark Cacao Cookie was on one knee, the shaking had gotten bad for him, he couldn’t maintain his balance.
“There’s no need for violence, Y/N. I wouldn’t burden you with such a fight. Don’t you want to just go home?”
No, you had come this far with Dark Cacao Cookie, you were going to see this until the end, with her defeated.
The white fog started to form all around you, obscuring you from view to Dark Cacao Cookie.!
“Y/N Cookie…NO!”
He struggled what strength he had and hurried into the fog.
“Why do you continue like this?”
Mystic Flour Cookie appeared before Dark Cacao Cookie, a dazed Y/N Cookie in her lap.
“Why do you persist?”
“Wouldn’t be better to just crumble away like the rest?”
“No, I will cut down any danger to the Dark Cacao Kingdom and to those I hold dear! Put them down!”
“Y/N Cookie is too weak for that, but they will do nicely in my cocoon and soon…become a part of me…”
Dark Cacao Cookie refused, only pointing his sword at Mystic Flour Cookie.
Mystic Flour Cookie only sighed.
“How insufferable….”

To Go, Please (Thalexios)
This has been a long time coming, but it’s my first foray into an Assassin’s Creed fanfic! This was requested by @deadskeleton95 who wanted some modern thalexios, so I really hope you enjoy! It got a little out of hand, but I tried to stick to the prompt as best as possible! <3 If you have any prompts (even other than Thalexios) message me!
Read on Ao3 as well!
The first time he had come in, Alexios had dropped the bearclaw he was putting on display near the front counter. Both of their eyes, which had previously been locked, immediately followed the trail of the sad little pastry, its almonds wedging loose in some places.
“That’s not an omen, is it?” The man - man, he was Alexios’s age, probably still in college - asked, a perfectly sculpted eyebrow raised. He was the picture of dry humor, but underneath that there was a sincere amusement dancing on the edge of his words. Alexios was just thankful that his cheeks didn’t burn as bright red as the apron Barnabas forced him to wear.
“I’m sorry about that. The tongs…” He snapped the offending instruments for example like a sad little crab, and this time a small smile played out on the customer’s face for a few precious seconds. It was a nice face, Alexios would admit. He was effortlessly beautiful, and you couldn’t deny it. He was like a strong breeze; he just was there, and you knew it.
“They have a mind of their own, I’m sure.”
“Exactly. Anyway… What can I get you?”
“Definitely one of those,” Thaletas pointed to a - fresh - bearclaw, “and a medium of whatever your ‘Spartan Kick’ is.”
“Good luck with that one, friend.” It was by far the strongest coffee they served, almost enough to warrant a warning label in Alexios’ humble opinion. “I’ll make sure to send flowers and a nice letter.”
“I’m more than sure I can handle it.” The customer scoffed, and Alexios didn’t doubt it at all, but the wise, more sensible past of him that his mother had molded him into made him bite his tongue; especially since this was going on much too long even for a “dead” time. Instead he cleared his throat and grabbed a cup.
“Could I have a name for the Spartan Kick?” Alexios picked up a cup and Sharpie marker, subtly clearing his throat.
“Thaletas.”
“Thaletas?”
“It’s T-H-”
Alexios showed him the cup. “Like this?”
Thaletas blinked and read it over. “You got it right on the first try. Thanks for not laughing.”
“Alexios.” Alexios pointed out his nametag. “I completely understand the struggle.”
Thaletas smiled again - a real smile, the corners of his eyes just barely starting to crinkle - and Alexios knew immediately he wanted to make it happen again.
~~~~~
Thaletas would show up regularly over the next few weeks, always on Tuesday around quarter to 11am, but aside from very small things Alexios could learn from conversations and typical details, he knew next to nothing.
“You’re disgusting.” Kassandra remarked one day as Thaletas left, and no Alexios did not almost spill a bag of flour before he turned to glare in reproach at his older sister in reproach. She had apparently been in line behind Thaletas and just moved like a damn shadow since she had eluded the sight of everyone until right about now.
“Don’t you have off today?” He remarked in way of a greeting or acknowledgement of her previous statement.
“Yeah, and I’m here for three strawberry filled donuts with powder and a large espresso. But besides that…” She dramatically over emphasized the point and leaned against the counter to look over at her brother, “Who was that you were chatting up a storm with?”
“We were not ‘chatting up a storm’, I was asking about his exercise routine, how much he pressed.”
“And if he would be able to press you, obviously.” She was unphased as Alexios almost slammed the little wax paper bag down in front of her. Why was it so damn dead in the store now?
“Shut your dirty mouth. You want to say that a little louder? Can you just… Just not? He’s a customer.”
“Alexios, I saw the way you were looking at him. Little brother, that’s the same way you used to look at that cute boy who wanted to be a doctor. What was his name, Ly- Lyakon, wasn’t it?”
“You’re not helping my case.”
“And I’m not trying to. Just relax a little bit, okay? And because I’m such an am-a-zing big sister, I’ll give you a tip.” She leaned in conspiratorially as Alexios handed her the coffee and whispered. “Make the first move.”
“Impossible.”
“Boys almost never make them. You do it? Get his reaction. Catch him off guard. And before I lose my mind get his number. Okay?” She stared at him long and hard before he sighed and nodded once. She smirked and left with an extra two dollars in the tip jar, and Alexios felt like hitting his head against the oven door. Although he knew she was right. And though he would never admit it… She did give him an idea.
~~~~~
The next time Thaletas came in, Alexios chickened out. The time after that, though, he took the time and did something worthwhile when the opportunity presented itself.
“Do you know a Brasidas?”
“Brasidas?” Alexios looked up from where he was brewing the beans for Thaletas’ drink. It was becoming a tradition of a sort where if it wasn’t too busy and if Barnabas' good eye was turned away, they would talk a bit. Thankfully, most times seemed to be like that. “There’s one. He’s an old friend of my mother.”
“He’s my coach, actually. At my college.” And oh, everything made sense at that point. He commuted, he had later classes, things were beginning to snap into place. “He was actually the one to recommend The Adrestia to me. Said you and your sister worked here and it was really nice.”
“We do. Kassandra is a little like a cat, though. She comes and goes as she pleases unless she requires food.” Alexios gestured in a joking manner before putting the top on the coffee and handing it over. This was it, and he put on a winning grin with the just right wink to go along with his words. “Did he say much else about me? Something about my winning good looks, perhaps?”
Immediately he felt every internal part of him cringe at his delivery, even though theoretically it should’ve worked. It wasn’t disrespectful, wasn’t rude, but it was just… bad. And he knew it.
But amazingly, instead of walking out then and there, or laughing in Alexios’ face, Thaletas simply just… said nothing. The freckles on his face grew more pronounced, even, as he started to blush. It was fascinating, a beautiful shade on his olive skin. His eyes darted away for a second and he didn’t reach out for the offered coffee for a second.
“No, he- He didn’t say that.”
“So… You’re saying I’m ugly?”
“Not at all!” He said it loud enough that a few eyes darted over and this time Alexios could feel himself heat up a bit. There was a somewhat awkward cough from behind Alexios and he felt a light pat on his shoulder.
“Do you need to take a little break?” Barnabas asked and this time the cringe was reflected on Alexios face and in his wince as he shook his head.
“No thanks. Have a good day, Thaletas.”
“You as well, Alexios.” The other man got out before grabbing his coffee and bag and making the beeline out the door, the bell hanging above tinkling its small goodbye. Alexios gave out a mix of a sigh and a groan and allowed his head to gently connect with the cash register in front of him.
“It’ll work out, boy, don’t worry.” Barnabas offered in way of support, fucking mystic as always, and Alexios didn’t even have it in him to roll his eyes as usual. He wasn’t even about to find a way to plot the death of his older sister the next time she came waltzing in here. He just wanted the week to be over. And he didn’t want next Tuesday to roll around at all.
~~~~~
Next Tuesday rolled around, and he didn’t see Thaletas at all until the very end of the day. 11am had come and gone with his heart in his throat and fresh food waiting; heavens knew he was the one of the only people as well who ordered their death trap of a Spartan Kick, so that was all ready to be brewed. But he didn’t show up the whole day. And Alexios tried not to let that get him down, he really didn’t. He just baked donuts, made coffee, smiled, nodded, and confirmed.
The sun was almost completely set and his shift was within the last hour when the bell sounded again and Alexios found it in him to get to the front counter to give a greeting and take the order. The sight in front of him made it die on his lips, another word taking its place with more disbelief than he was going for.
“Thaletas?”
“Alexios. I’m sorry I didn’t come earlier, it… There was traffic. And I was waiting outside until it wasn’t so busy. I didn’t want to…” His hand swirled a little as he searched for the words. “Embarrass you.”
“Oh.” Alexios’ heart sunk. “You won’t embarrass me, Thaletas. Really. You did nothing, I should apologize for last week, it was unprofessional-”
“I do think you’re good looking.” Thaletas cut him off quietly. “Stunningly so. I did when I first walked in. And I think you are a very wonderful man.” Then here he took a breath, willing Alexios to be quiet; not that Alexios could say anything if he wanted to. “It’s why I simply wanted to give you this.” He dug in his pocket and took out a pen before swiping a nearby napkin and scribbling something on it. He slid it across the counter for Alexios, and finally Alexios saw in all its glory that it was Thaletas’ number. “Are you able to meet after your shift? Or sometime this week?”
“I get out in less than an hour.” This time Alexios couldn’t help a smile, and he saw another real one mirrored on Thaletas’ face as well. “Are you able to wait that long?”
“Am I able to get a small wedge of cake while I wait, then? Maybe on the house?” He asked, a fake hopeful look on his face that had Alexios’ shoulders shaking with laughter.
“Maybe next time.”
And there were plenty of "next times" after that night.
---
I hope you enjoy! If you do I have a Masterpost here and more ideas for writings and prompts here, so feel free to request!  If you’d like to support me, I have a ko-fi here! Safety and peace!

The Lord of the Rings: The 10 Worst Movie Book Shifts
The art of adaptation is a cruel business. For a beloved property like J.R.R. The trilogy of The Lord of the Rings Tolkien is not limited to being victims when they move from page to screen. Peter Jackson calmly led the attack to bring Tolkien's rich Middle-earth world to life by adding some of his own artistic flowers. The King's Return Ring Society, Jackson has taken the highest of high fantasy concepts and translates them into three thrilling adventures. He just won three Academy Awards in 2004 for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.That is, the films are not flawless. Fans of the books know how much Jackson left from Tolkien writing, especially his adaptation of the two towers. The characters are distorted, omitted from the underestimated key elements and important events, often to the less effective substitute. Here are the 10 worst book changes to Lord of the Rings movies. 1. To a joke Gimli
Unlike trilogy to his portrayal in Peter Jackson, Gimli is a tough warrior and a dwarf only. Although he is a fool in films essentially Tolkien put him as "an obscure character, usually only occasionally, to laugh, and although in some rare cases, entertainment, but never a joke." He certainly is not the idiot who thinks he can break the ring with a single blow from his ax. If in the laughter of the community conversion to Gimli, it undermines the dwarven moments of gravity. Take the darkest moments of the Battle of Helm's deep links, which is the Battle of Normandy beach from Middle Earth substantially. Although Aragorn and Theoden prepare their men and their bark orders, Gimli is on the edge how to make cracked strength and laughing. There is room for humor, even in the most difficult situations, but not at the expense of Gimli's character, approaching caricature throughout the filming. 2. Pass the Shire Wash
Long before J.R.R. Tolkien wrote at the end of The Return of the King, he planned to bring the epic circle of fantasy. Amidst the destruction of mighty Middle-earth, the region was not spared. Tolkien noted that "an image of the last decrepitude of the old flour mill, with its pool, which seemed so important to me." The picturesque image was Tolkien's own Shire, and he also had the hounds were destroyed. When the Hobbits return home (in the books), they discover that their homes have changed their own lives so much. Saruman and his servant Wormtongue moved to Frodo's facility in Bolson, and the evil forces of Mordor moved to Shire. The last battle of the War of the Ring found in Bilbo Baggins's backyard, and sees that the hobbits bravely fighting and Saruman is the death he has always deserved. Although Hobbits are peaceful short of Shire's tongue Snake's neck and his master will distribute dead by a shower of arrows. These sequences have added the already epic runtime of the film, but have the omnipresence of the evil Sauron demonstrated inspired. Without them making the movies that region than practically unchanged despite the apocalypse around them, which not only reduces the risks, but raises the question of whether Bag-end was out of danger, should not Frodo simply stay at home? Tolkien hanging entire story on this penultimate chapter because it represented during the war, even the most sympathetic people or the field are safe. 3. No Closure For Saruman
Saruman is a central character in The Lord of the Rings, so why was the ending so unsatisfactory? Sauron may be the most difficult of all bad guy, but is caught in an eye presence for the whole trilogy. This leaves Saruman as the main enemy to take shape in the flesh, and once all the chaos caused in Middle-earth, you would think that Peter Jackson would have enjoyed the opportunity to take his death in the final movie. In the theatrical edition of The Return of the King, all we say (by Tree Beard) is that the twisted wizard was locked in his tower, disappearing, until death comes to him. When the Ents had under her command, certain that she would be unhappy some form of punishment, instead of imposing a prison sentence. The species decimated the population, after all. Unfortunately, Jackson decided not to close for the White Magician to give to save for more cut of his death, in Isengard. As the director himself admitted, "I reluctantly decide to save this sequence for the DVD The selection based on was made that most people assume that Saruman was defeated by the events of deep and Helm's Ent. End appropriate, it is strange, "take over", the fate of Saruman in the film. Trimming to Shire: This inconsistency can be explained by the lack of other key element books. 4. Escape ARAGORN a hero in HAMBRIENDO CAR
If there was no model to compare with Aragorn movies, you can think of it as the ultimate hero. He is discreet, (relatively) early, and if you are struggling to convince bravely in the battle. This is all very well, but Aragorn as you can imagine from J.R.R. Tolkien is much more pronounced. More self-abominable in the movies, the Aragorn books unkempt, and almost reluctant leader is poised for leadership. More than any other man in history, Aragorn is the bearer of heroism. He does not withdraw his fate, nor does he question his role in the fate of Middle-earth. No, he embraces his role as Isildur's warm heritage. In movies, it always seems to have a foot out the door. A shining example of heroism confused his decision Aragorn the heads unarmed emissary Sauron in the Black Gate. Although the creature is uglier than the sin and mocks Aragorn, Legolas and should never the heir of Isildur get his moral code broke and a messenger of peace killed Gandalf on the fate of Frodo, the "Mouth of Sauron." Tolkien would be such an act reserved only for the most famous characters in Middle-earth. 5. HUMANIZING GANDALF against the Witch King
Speaking of King Warlock, if you have a scene to add in the fight with Gandalf, you can not let him win. Or if you are going to put the Wizards knees, do so after a glorious battle, love the kind of writers of fan fiction to create. For some reason, the extended version of Peter Jackson has the Return of the King a scene in Minas Tirith where the Witch King walk to stop Gandalf with Pippin flies. Though one of his greatest enemies in the present, Gandalf did not move, and instead sits on his horse to the shudder expecting Nazgul. Kill. Witch King sends a magical force field from Gandalf to destroy and then thrown from his horse in a really humiliating way. It is a pointless moment that not only adds value to the film again but has zero relationship with Tolkien's books and reduces Gandalf's omnipotent power without even a chance to respond, to give. 6. Neutralization THE IMPORTANCE OF Merry and Pippin
In general, Comic Relief is managed throughout the trilogy The Lord of the Rings and Peter Jackson and co-writer Philippa Boyens. Bring out Bilbo's 111th birthday to the end, Merry and Pippin laughing with their intrusive and audible. Unfortunately, the two hobbits are the Middle-earth puppet theater depicted far beyond the Tolkien borders. His wit and courage, unfortunately, lost in the shuffle. If for Merry and Pippin, Frodo and Sam were not they would never come with success in the region in the first place. Although they are out of their league long history, Merry and Pippin are quick to accept and learn as they go. In the movies, but Merry and Pippin are presented as accidental warriors who come to the community in a fantasy. In the books they need Frodo to come on the trip and, although hot Elrond to protest against his presence, Gandalf who insists on being accepted is. Finally, it is argued in value that it has been neglected by the death of Éowyn important against the Witch King, the Merry contribution. Without his dagger and his mystical wave of daring, Nazgul did not weaken to such an extent that a single strike would end. Although the Cheerful films show the dagger on the side of the spectrum to bring down, he received no credit in the episode. 7. Notes ENTS Daft
Despite the many missed opportunities, Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Hobbit achieved its calmer scenes, especially in moments of music. When the dwarves of the "misty mountains," a haunting and hypnotic Braman theme, all majesty in Tolkien's mind seems to thrive. It is particularly strange that Peter Jackson several minutes running precious time to see Thorin Shield of Oak hum an output melody when you consider that the rest of the movie is consumed by the CGI high frame rate. It is not until Bart tree hobbits on a walk in the afternoon when he finally got the decimation of his colleagues testify Ents. Like Eowyn, he uttered a cry from Darth Vader-lite of the sadistic magician knows that his days are numbered. This is a slap in the face that created Tolkien's character for the first time. In the books, the arrival of Merry and Pippin comes just before Entebate where Barbary and Co. quickly decide to bring ruin to Saruman. There is no need to think about it because they are intelligent, experienced and proud of their people. The movies show the Ents have little or no agency, but rather serve as the filling time, while the rest of the plot unfolds kills. 8. Reduced almost all songs and POEMS
Despite the many missed opportunities, Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Hobbit achieved its calmer scenes, especially in moments of music. When the dwarves of the "misty mountains," a haunting and hypnotic Braman theme, all majesty in Tolkien's mind seems to thrive. It is particularly strange that Peter Jackson several minutes running precious time to see Thorin Shield of Oak hum an output melody when you consider that the rest of the movie is consumed by the CGI high frame rate. This moment is just one of the many songs and poems written throughout the text of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Pippin Music in The Return of the King is one of the most prominent in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Jackson used it with great effect. If only the original songs of Tolkien object of frequent use. Without suggesting that the trilogy a full-length music film would have benefited from the song Frodo in the Bouncing Pony or Aragorn's poem about Gondor. This is of great imagination, which Tolkien wrote after all for the same reason of such a long list of songs in the first place. 9. MAKING HEROES IN PRACTICAL ELAS
For many fans of the film, the battle of the Abyss of Helm, the highest mark was two towers in the water. It was a confrontation in the rain of Uruk-hai furiously against an army of men and elves. It is a scene that is opposite to the best fights of Game of Thrones, but it is a pity that Peter Jackson strongly to interpolate the raw material and wrote basically the whole nature of the war. The most notorious of all, he relied on warrior Elven to fight against the Dark Army. To be clear, there were no elves for the Abyss of Helm in the books when the film a team of five hundred archers shows from Lothlórien to sent the scene of the fight. Army Theoden consisted largely of "soldiers [I have seen many winters or very few." Of course, this does not mean it describes the presence of immortal popular Elf. In the battle of Horburg, Theoden did not shoot the luxury of a battalion of experienced archers dozens of bloodthirsty Saruman warriors. This is a recurring theme in The Lord of the Rings, the world of men shows that they strive to survive in a universe where everyone, even the elves flee to safety. This subtly benefits Theoden and Aragorn's deep Helms allows elves to save the day. 10. CASTING Hugo Weaving AS ELROND
When we meet Elrond in the Fellowship of the Ring, which is about 6,500 years old. JRR Tolkien describes him as "noble and just as an elf-lord, as strong as a warrior, as wise as an assistant, as venerable, as king of the dwarves, and just as in summer." Briefly, Elrond is the total package . His debut on the big screen can be described as something of a sage, but pushes Elrond in a much more humane way than his elvish nature area can withstand properly. To be sure, he is as mortal as she is eternal, he can not quite god-like in appearance and be in nature. Hugo Weaving, despite his entire talent and screen presence, may not have been the ideal role for an actor. His dullness and his ridiculous "Mr. Anderson" make him more militant than he probably thought Tolkien. Although dressed in the best clothes and insignia, the fabric looks more like a front-warriors than an old-fashioned board. It actually looks right at home in flashback scenes during the Battle of Dagorlad.

Y/N cookie: Caramel Arrow my love stay with me please I don’t know what to do without you in my life please don’t go
Tumblr media
No…no! Caramel Arrow, what’s happening!?
“I-I can’t move another step…my legs…”
She will make it through! She has to!
She quickly take her hand into yours as you try to get her to walk with you.
Mystic Flour was right there! She promised you two would face her together!
“Y-Y/N Cookie, I-I’m sorry…I can’t go with you…”
You looked beyond her to see the Cacao troops slowly crumble away into flour…
What?! No, no, no, no, no, NO! You pleaded for Caramel Arrow to stay with you! You needed her!
“We must…return…to flour…won’t you join me?”
She shouldn’t say that! Pull through! For you! For the others! For her kingdom! For Dark Cacao Cookie!
“Y/N Cookie…I….I….”
Right before your very eyes, you watched as Caramel Arrow Cookie crumbled…and faded away into flour, leaving your hand outstretched where hers used to be…
You were on your hands and knees, choking back the urge to cry. You wanted to puke, collapse, and curl up on the floor. First Crunchy Chip Cookie, and now Caramel Arrow and everyone else…
Tumblr media
Dark Cacao Cookie placed a hand on your shoulder.
“We will…mourn the fallen later. Mystic Flour Cookie is close…”
“I need you to stay with me. Do not let their sacrifices be in vain.”
You can see even he was struggling to keep it together, even if he couldn’t let you see his tears…
After wiping your face and taking a moment, you turned back to him with a nod as you get up and follow him up to the palace.
Mystic Flour Cookie…you won’t let her get away with this….
