#chess pie cookie

[quibbs126]

I saw you were doing requests. Could you do Blueberry Pie x Eclair fankid?Or possibly Caviar x Black Pearl one? Take your time with it!

This time I did both, we have Chess Pie Cookie and Sea Tempest Cookie

I think I named Chess Pie that because it was a pie, but also more of a yellow/brown color. I think I wanted a pie name that wasn’t a fruit. I don’t remember, it’s been a long time since I named her

Chess pie:

Sea Tempest was originally Abalone, I think because it was another sea creature, but I wanted to change it. I made it Sea Tempest I think because I wanted a name that was storm sounding. It was just a place holder, but then I couldn’t think of anything better, so yeah

For designs, so Chess Pie is supposed to be a student in Parfaedia, so her design is mostly based on Cream Puff’s academy outfit, assuming that’s their uniform. Gave her a long dress, gloves and a book to more reference her parents. I made her eyes brown because I thought it worked better with her color scheme, even if BBP and Eclair don’t have them. Also I gave her glasses since both of them have some sort of spectacle. I quite like her design

As for Sea Tempest, I wanted to make her have a sort of pirate/stormy look to her, if that makes any sense. I think she was mostly inspired by an edit I saw of Capsaicin with either Black Pearl or Prune Juice’s colors that made me think of a storm god of some kind, which she kind of is (though just in a demigod sense). The black jacket I just sort of imagined in my head and wanted to put on there. As for the rest of the outfit, I didn’t have much clue, and honestly I took most inspiration from @cosmicwhoreo ‘s role swap au Black Pearl. I gave her the reds and yellow because I was sticking mostly to dull blues and black/white, and I felt like she needed some variety in her colors. I think she’s fine

Oh right, another thing about Sea Tempest, I feel like she needs a hat of some kind, but I don’t know what

As for the characters, so as mentioned, Chess Pie is a student at Parfaedia, and is an avid magic user, wanting to learn all she can. Unlike her parents, she’s rather socially adept, even if she’s a bit introverted at times. She’s very friendly and open, and is willing to help other struggling students if she sees it.

Also, as you can tell by the sketch, she knows Cream Puff, and she acts as a mentor for Chess Pie and a close friend (I’ll be honest I half assed a design for adult Cream Puff. I wanted to give her a wizard hat like Latte but that was as far as any creativity got)

Now on to Sea Tempest, so she’s a member of the navy like her father, whom she lives with, though she tends to be a bit reckless. She’s very bombastic and loud, and just generally likes having a good time. She’s also very large, she’s even taller than her father, making him look somewhat short by comparison (which is supposed to be a reference to how big Black Pearl is). She likes to be out at sea more than anything, and feels most at home out there. Also, storms and tempests tend to follow her when out at sea, which makes people hesitant to be on a boat with her, but she’s always able to get her ship out just fine, you just have to have a lot of faith in her

I mentioned something about her being some sort of storm demigod, and I’ll be honest, I haven’t fleshed that out other than the whole “storms follow her” thing. But she’d be a Super Epic in terms of rarity, given her mother’s a Legendary

Speaking of her mother, Sea Tempest has met her, but they only meet on occasion, since people aren’t really supposed to know Caviar had a kid with the sovereign of the Duskgloom Sea. Also due to her heritage, as you can see in the sketch, while Sea Tempest has legs, when in the water, she turns into a Mer-Cookie, like Sorbet Shark. However unlike them she can speak coherently in both. This is usually the form she takes when visiting her mother

I think that’s about it. I definitely had more to talk about in terms of Sea Tempest, but also I feel like there’s some more interesting stuff there, if I’m being honest. But yeah, hope you enjoy them!

it's national s'mores day 😍 (one, two, three, four)

[spinningalbinoturtle]

Thanksgiving headcanons for the Lotr crew

Its hosted in Rivendell but Elrond lets people extend the invite to others so everyone comes

Sam is in the kitchens from 6am cooking a million things-he also brought several side dishes premade

Frodo is all over the decorations and setting the table but he also made some cookies

Arwen is also very particular about this particularly the table

She has made a seating chart which she hopes will minimize squabbling

She has also set some ground rules like no dissing on your child’s interracial marriage (for Elrond and Thranduil)

Bilbo helps Sam cook in the morning but then he starts drinking around midday and doesn’t stop til he is dragged to bed by Frodo and Erestor

While Elrond is hosting he doesn’t do much just sits around and judges

He and Thranduil will be breaking Arwen’s rules

Thranduil and Gloin out drink Bilbo. They are having a silent drinking contest which has not been spoken of. Each one just decided to out drink the other

Thranduil wins cause he drinks like three bottles of a wine a day

Gimli and Legolas are just trying to avoid their parents

Thankfully Arwen sat them at the opposite end of the table

Unfortunately near Elrond who asks several awkward questions about how elf/dwarf sex works (he’s curious from a medical standpoint)

Bilbo drunkenly tells them how he had a dwarf boyfriend once so he totally understands what they’re going through at which point Frodo cuts off his wine supply

Frodo is actually trying to slow down Bilbo’s drinking all evening but with little success

Elladan and Elrohir have bonded with Merry and Pippin who introduced them to pipeweed. The four of them are stoned out of their minds and consequently eat more than everyone else. Arwen doesn’t understand what’s wrong with her brothers.

Aragorn is in charge of the turkey. Its excellent

He is mostly trying to hide from Elrond the whole time

Boromir tries to assist him with helpful turkey roasting tidbits but Aragorn would rather just do it himself

Eventually he assigns Boromir to the stuffing- its actually not bad

Erestor keeps Elrond occupied, they hang out and play chess in the middle of all the chaos

Glorfindel is the guy who is just ready for the holiday season to start

He keeps pestering Maglor to play Yule carols but Elrond’s rule is not until after dinner

Gandalf sits around and smokes and occasionally yells at Pippin. He takes turns hanging out with Bilbo and getting him drunker, hanging out with Elrond and Galadriel

Galadriel intimidates everyone no one knows where she was before or after dinner

Celeborn brought lembas rolls and cranberry sauce

Faramir makes a mean pumpkin pie

He’s just happy to be included. He fangirls over all the elves who indulge him mostly

Eowyn is enjoying watching the antics. She can’t cook for shit so she doesn’t bother to help with that but she does help clean up

So do Merry and Pippin but only because Gandalf forced them

Eomer brings “traditional Rohirric appetizers” and its smoked horse meat. Pippin and Sam are horrified to learn this.

Everyone has their favorite: Sam’s is obvs PO-TAY-TOES. Frodo likes cranberry sauce. Merry inhales stuffing. Pippin loves rolls.

Drunkest in order of most to least would be: Thranduil, Gloin, Bilbo, Gimli, Merry, Pippin, Legolas, Aragorn (but you can’t tell), Eomer, Eowyn, Glorfindel, Sam (he would’ve drunk more but he was busy cooking), Elladan, Elrohir (they’re so high they don’t drink much) Arwen (not a big drinker), Frodo(alcohol fucks with his anxiety so he just has one glass of wine) Faramir (who’s a teatotler cause he thinks if he did drink he’d become an alcoholic).

Lots of songs are sung before people start to retire for bed

Legolas and Gimli have sex really loudly between their fathers’ rooms to annoy them

Galadriel shows up around midnight and helps finish cleaning up

The clean up crew includes Eowyn, Merry, Faramir, Pippin, Gandalf, and Legolas and Gimli. They have a great time.

Santa’s Retreat

“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire… Jack Frost nipping at your nose.”

As the freezing temperatures set in over the quaint village, many seek shelter and comfort in Santa’s Retreat in hopes of easing holiday stress. Some will get warm by the fireplace while listening to sounds of the piano, while others might head upstairs for a massage from the village’s best (and only) massage therapist around or sweat out all those Christmas cookies in the hot ‘n toasty sauna. After some much needed relaxation, why not head downstairs and have a good ‘ole toast with those they love around the Christmas tree, perhaps make some hot soup in the mini bar, touch up on piano skills or just simply relax and unwind on the couch with a good movie? No matter who you are, Santa’s Retreat is sure to offer a warm and inviting atmosphere to ring in the holiday cheer and spirit!

Santa’s Toy Store & Workshop

“Our finest gifts we bring, Pa rum pum pum pum”

What will the kids do on this little holiday trip, you might ask? Fear not, as Santa’s Toy Store and Workshop will be sure to keep the kids entertained for hours! Planes… trains… and automobiles…. Oh my! While parents and grandparents shop around for that one special gift, the kids can let their imagination run wild at the train table, zoom around remote controlled hot rods and helicopters or perhaps find something fun in one of the toy chests! And for parents who are just as much kids like their own, they can head upstairs to Santa’s Workshop and learn how to make their own toys… oh, the simoleons that will be saved this Christmas! And don’t forget to check out those picturesque views on the rooftop… capture that special moment and paint the perfect holiday picture. Just don’t freeze up there… brrrr. It’s a lil chilly!

---

Santa’s Clubhouse (more pictures coming soon)

“And they never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games”

Join in any reindeer games, you say? No one needs to feel left out… as there are certainly no shortage of games here at Santa’s Clubhouse! This central area of the village is a great place to seek refuge, catch up with friends and family with chats by the fire and play timeless games upstairs. So… how about a coffee, nice game of chess by the fireplace and a holiday movie afterwards? Sounds quite delightful. What’s that? You’ve got more simoleons than you know what to do with? Hmm… I know! How about a game of poker? Just don’t lose all your money before enjoying the other festive activities this wonderland’s got to offer!

---

Cheers! Bar & Bistro

“And later we’ll have some pumpkin pie… And we’ll do some caroling”

Pop! Sizzle! Delish! What better way to ring in the holiday than at Cheers Bar & Bistro? Right next store from Santa’s Clubhouse you’ll find a grand hallway and entrance to this cozy restaurant nestled up on a hill overlooking the entire village. Grab some holiday cheer inspired drinks at the bar and dine downstairs for or make your way upstairs to the family style dining room complete with a fireplace and covered outdoor dining! Whether you’re in it for the drinks or just want a little date night with the honey, Cheers is sure to leave everyone full of tasty food and fun!

---

Holiday Stop ‘N Shop (pictures coming soon)

“Joy to the world, my shopping’s done…”

So you made it to Santa’s Wonderland… but you just realized… it’s so cold and you didn’t bring your winter clothes…. One stop by The Holiday Stop ‘N Shop will surely fix that! This clothing store features an indoor/outdoor shopping experience with more great views of the village and skating rink. In addition there’s magazines and cologne for sale to make this lil shopping trip well worth it!

❤️The Cullen Family Valentine’s Special!❤️

As promised, here is the Cullen Family Valentine’s Special! Hope you enjoy, as it took me a fair while to write.

SUMMARY: some headcanons for how you would spend Valentine’s Day with all the Cullens (and human!Bella)

…

Carlisle

· As the hospital knew he was such a hard worker, they gave him the day off (he definitely deserved it)

· He hid little gifts around the house for you to find

o They consisted of roses, love notes, hand-made items, photos of the two of you and much more

· There were so many literally everywhere in the house that you found them for days afterwards

· You two just sat on the sofa in each other’s arms the whole day, never moving for anything

· After a day of gentle loving, Carlisle blindfolded you and took you in the car to his favourite secret spot

· It wasn’t a long drive, but you found yourself growing slightly impatient on the journey

· He surprised you with one of the nicest places you’d ever seen

· You vowed it would become your special place, just as it was Carlisle’s

· You found yourselves at the bend in a beautiful river, just in time to see the sun sink slowly beneath the horizon, in a glowing burst of colours

o It was the most phenomenal thing you had ever seen (besides Carlisle himself)

· Sat on blankets, you chatted the day away, until the night grew dark and cold

· You started to get up, but Carlisle pulled you gently back down

o ‘my love, look at the stars!’

· and you did.

· If you thought the sunset was stunning, the inky black sky just redefined the word

· Constellations littered the sky, every star its own perfect heaven

· The rest of the night was spent laying on the blanket, hand in hand, gazing up at the night sky

Esme

· The two of you spent your Valentine’s Day doing good things for the town:

o You baked cookies for hospital patients

o You made cards to give to the rest of the Cullens and your friends

o You treated the workers of the library to a home-made pie

o You gave roses and good wishes to people you saw on the street

o And just the general spreading of good, Valentine’s cheer

o And you had a damn good time doing it

· All that doing good had almost made you forget yourselves on this, the day of love

· Almost

· At home, you found a bouquet of roses from Esme herself waiting for you on the kitchen table, along with a DVD of your favourite movie and a photo in a frame she had decorated herself

· The two of you sat on the sofa and watched your favourite romantic movies together, cuddled under blankets

· When the day turned to night, you surprised Esme with a necklace you had made her and a bouquet of her favourite flowers

o She put the necklace on immediately and swore never to take it off

· You decided to put on your CD of love songs and you danced together in the kitchen, so in love

· Definitely one of the best days you’d ever spent together

Edward

· Edward took you to his most sacred place, the meadow

· He made sure that you were out of the house before sunrise, so you could watch the sun creep from below the horizon together

o You made it just in time

· The feeling of running through the forest and streaking across the meadow was a high you were sure you wouldn’t feel ever again

· At last you fell on the soft, flowery ground just as the sun was making its ascent

o It was beautiful

· But not as breath-taking as the person sitting next to him, Edward told you

o If you could have blushed, you would have

· When the dawn had well and truly broken, Edward started pulling things out of the backpack he had brought

o He had board games, books, puzzles, sketch pads, you name it

· You whiled away the day playing your favourite games together

· Edward revelled in the opportunity to play chess with you, being the only person whose mind he couldn’t read

· When you played every game several times, you just lay down in the soft grass and held each other for hours and hours

· It felt so wonderful to let the sun shine on your face for once, and you saw the sparkle of Edward’s skin – you knew yours was identical, and you loved it

· You talked to each other in hushed voices, but mostly lay in silence; your company was enough for each other

o You gazed up at his gorgeous features; they never failed to take your breath away

· The day had passed quick as a wink, and before you knew it then sun was sinking below the horizon, spreading its beautiful colours across the landscape, and glittering golden on your faces, as you smiled at each other

· You sat there, looking at each other until the sun had left the sky

o ‘my love, it’s twilight’

· and it was.

· The light was half there and half not, and it was beautiful

· Finally, you streaked through the forest again together at midnight, racing each other, laughing so loud the people three towns over heard it

· It had been the best day you’d ever had

Rosalie

· She took you out for a drive in her red convertible

· She drove so fast you screamed and laughed together

· The feeling of breezing down the roads was exhilarating; it filled you with euphoria and a palpable giddiness you’d never felt before

· The streets were deserted; there was no-one to stop your fun

· Rosalie drove you to all your favourite places, and you got out, sat and talked together at every one

· Once you had seen all your favourite places, Rosalie took you to hers

· There were meadows, streams, forests, everything

· She had good taste

· At your final stop, the place where you had your first date, she gave you a gift: your favourite flowers and a ring

o It was her promise to you to love you forever

§ If she ever thought you’d leave her, she was crazy

· You finished the evening by singing love songs together sat on a blanket on the banks of a gentle stream, not a care in the world

· You could see the sun set in its gentle waters

· Rosalie held you close in her strong arms, and you felt that you couldn’t be close enough

· Your hands touched accidentally, but you grasped Rosalie’s tightly, knowing how she had struggled in the past

· You didn’t let go for the rest of the night

· On the drive back home, you screamed the same songs at the top of your voices, not caring one bit about being heard by people

· When you got back home, a giggling mess, you cuddled up together on the sofa, completely drunk on love

Alice

· She took you out shopping and told you to pick whatever you wanted

· She treated you to a brand-new outfit, which you wore that night when you went out to a Valentine’s Day party thrown by one of your friends

o You two slow danced the night away

· When you returned home at midnight, the two of you treated yourselves to self-care and romantic movies

· When you got bored of the movies, you held each other close for the rest of the night, Alice making sure that you were always feeling comfortable and loved

· It was so perfectly romantic you could have sworn you were dreaming the whole time

· A soft, sweet and gentle Valentine’s Day

(sorry, I couldn’t think of much for Alice – I may add more to this if I get more inspiration)

Emmett

· The two of you left the house very early and went for a morning walk in the forest

· Nobody had seen you leave, it was more thrilling than you thought it would be

· You made your way there, only running when you were sure you were out of sight of any unsuspecting humans

· The gentle sunbeams fell through the leafy green ceiling and sparkled on your skin

· You grinned at each other, as Emmett suddenly sprinted away from you

· Determined not to let him get away from you, you followed at full speed

· You eventually caught up to him in a clearing, where he was stood in front of a large log, grinning widely

· You knew what he was thinking

· You were by him in an instant, arm held out, hand ready for him to take

· He did so, and it began

· He thought he was winning at first, and he relaxed, overly confident, and you saw your chance to beat him and win

· And that you did

· He was shell-shocked, in a word

· You laughed at his kicked-puppy face, until he cracked a smile and tackled you to the ground

· You lay there, laughing together, never happier

· Eventually, you got up and continued walking

· You talked all the time, hand in hand

· Walking, walking, walking till it was past sunset

· Eventually, you only saw by the light of the moon

· Emmett told you it looked stunning sparkling off your face like that

· You stopped suddenly, and he did too, confused, until you ran off this time

· He took a while to catch up

· You had to stop at the edge of the forest, lest any humans were around at this unlikely hour

· You walked home, hand in hand, having spent a long, wonderful day with each other

Jasper

· He took you to his favourite place, the top of a hill

· A somewhat unlikely place for vampires to hang out, as you were in full sun

· It was especially risky as it was an abnormally nice day for February

o You had to bring a big floppy hat to hide your sparkling skin

· However, the risk made it all the more exciting to the two of you

· There you sat, on the top of the hill, until you saw humans climbing up it

· This you took as your cue to get out of there

· What were this bunch of hikers going to say when they happened across two sparkling “teenagers” on the top of the hill?

· Not very much, you suspected; only a great deal of screaming

o You usually didn’t mind attention, although this was the type of attention Carlisle would not be fond of

· So, you got out of there

· You ran down the other side of the hill as quickly as you could, which was very risky as well

· However, as you both were basically flashes of light, nobody saw you

o It was kind of a miracle actually

· You found yourselves in the same forest where you had met, and in the same clearing too

· You decided to sit against a tree and reminisce for a while

· You brought out your pocket knife and began to carve your names into the tree you were sat against, vowing that you would come back whenever possible for some peace and quiet

o Jasper agreed

· Something inside you told you that it wouldn’t be very long before you were back

Bella

· You spent the day at Bella’s house as it was the weekend

· You had agreed between you that Bella would provide entertainment, and you would provide the food, being the better cook

· Bella didn’t disappoint; she had rented tons of rom coms for you to watch

· When you walked into the house, you found every surface was covered in every candle that Bella owned, lit up and producing a lovely, warm glow

· It was like the glow you felt in your heart when you were with her

· The sofa was buried under blankets and pillows

· You hadn’t disappointed either; you had prepared a wonderful lasagne for the two of you, and had brought soup for lunch too

· Plus, Charlie had gone out for the day, so you had the place to yourselves

· Bella decided to start with Love Actually, then you chose Breakfast at Tiffany’s

· You watched the movies cuddled on the sofa, hand in hand

· After the 2 movies, it was lunchtime, so you heated the soup you had brought and served it between the two of you, whilst watching Bridget Jones’ Diary

· After Bridget Jones, you grew bored of the movies, and decided to bake cupcakes instead

· Now, it had to be said that the cupcakes you made weren’t the greatest, but that was only because you were too busy chucking cake batter at each other and laughing to care about them

· However, by the end of the 3 hours it took to make them, you had a plate of half-decent cupcakes, but a very messy kitchen, dirty clothes and cake batter filled hair

· It was only an hour till Charlie was due to return, so Bella and you had to run around like headless chickens trying to clear things up

· Then you had to run around like headless chickens cleaning yourselves up

· Just as you heard the key in the lock you sprinted to the sofa and jumped on it

· Charlie walked in to two girls grinning on the sofa, looking the happiest he’d ever seen them

· He smiled too, happy to see you two happy

…
