Штука о которой я думала больше 2 дней

Вот этот автор @thesparkledash сделал ау с павшим Какао и мне припëрло сделать что-то с похожей идеей, но с Сырочком

Пока только задумка, но мне просто нравятся чëрные крылья ю ноу😏🙏

Хехешки и то как я спрайт подрисовывал>:3

[burningcheese-merchant]

Merchant! Please, rant to us about the mythological inspirations of the BurningCheese!

The fact that I came home and sat down and wrote out a detailed post for this ask... The fact that I did research into Hindu mythology for BurningCheese inspo in the first place... (sidenote: Hinduism is legitimately interesting, I had genuine fun learning about it even outside of cringe shipping bs)

THE FACT THAT THERE'S ACTUAL SHIT TO WORK WITH...

Buckle up, buckaroos lol (I'll put it under a cut in case it turns out really long)

Do note that I am not a religious scholar nor a follower of Hinduism, and I didn't do a suuuuuuuper deep dive. I spent a few hours reading different articles/sources and looking at some paintings and the like. Whatever I say is what I derived from my own personal understanding (and my old notes), which may well be flawed!

Let's start with the obvious.

Burning Spice is directly inspired by Shiva, Hindu god of destruction. Important note: in the actual religion, Shiva is not malevolent; the destruction he brings is considered a necessary part of life and the foundation of cosmic balance. He can be temperamental and violent, yes, but he is by and large a pretty decent guy and performs his duty in the cycle of life and death without complaint (obviously, this is where Spice deviates lol)

His hair is a fucking pitch black jungle. Matted af. Just like Burning Spice's. I just felt like saying that lmao (they both look like shit, Shiva wears animal skins and dead people's ashes and doesn't brush his damn hair. HE WENT TO HIS OWN WEDDING LOOKING LIKE THAT! (Until Parvati told him to please freshen up and he went "yes dear, anything for you <3" and manifested fancy groom attire))

Now let's poke our heads into the rabbit hole.

Parvati is Shiva's wife, whom he adores and is wholly devoted to (and vice versa).

She is revered as a life-giver. A goddess of creation, love, devotion, and... ABUNDANCE.

Parvati has many forms. Her original form is that of a beautiful woman wearing a red sari, with a GOLDEN HEADDRESS/HEADBAND and LOTS OF GOLD JEWELRY AND PRECIOUS STONES, WHICH SHE LOVES.

She's very beloved by pretty much everyone. She's elegant, vivacious, and revered as a doting wife and mother

I'm not finished.

One of Parvati's forms is that of a fierce warrior woman called Durga. She is powerful, confident, and no less beautiful than her original self

She has many arms, and a sacred weapon in each one. One of which is a GOLDEN SPEAR.

Durga is regarded as a goddess of protection, war and destruction - but not the malevolent sort. She fights and destroys the forces of evil, for the sake of others'; the destruction she brings is in the name of protecting and liberating innocents, and empowering creation

One of her epithets is Mahamoha, which means "great delusion" - and in this context, the delusion/ignorance derives from intense desire and attachment

Now, with all of that said, I'm gonna tell you guys a story.

Shiva's first wife was Sati, daughter of Daksha. Though they were madly in love, Daksha despised him and never approved of their relationship

The blood between them was so bad that Daksha declined to invite either of them to the yajna (VERY important ritual sacrifice) he was hosting. Against both social norms and Shiva's advice, Sati showed up anyway, which led to her father cruelly insulting her, her marriage and basically her whole fucking life in front of everybody

In protest of everyone's derision of her and the life she chose to live, she throws herself on the sacrificial fire and thus kills herself (extreme and unnecessary, I know lol). Shiva finds out and LOSES. HIS. SHIT. Shows up, goes on a rampage, hurts a bunch of people, beheads Daksha (whom he revives and pardons eventually)

In his grief, Shiva basically decides to retire from everything and seclude himself in the mountains, denouncing the world and everything in it and refusing to interact with anyone or anything

Sati ends up reincarnating as Parvati. She remembers exactly who she is/was, and made it her mission to return to Shiva's side and rekindle their relationship

Shiva doesn't buy that that's his beloved and rebuffs her. She doesn't give up. She tries over and over again to convince him and win his affection. She endures harsh weather without appropriate clothes, starvation, the faces of her own fears and doubts, endlessly; all while continuously performing acts of religious penance/piety. So unwavering is she in her strength and devotion that Shiva eventually, finally realizes that that really is the woman he loved and lost

They reunite and remarry quickly (and it was a big blowout event, too! Very important, there are even several sculptures depicting it!) and they live happily ever after

And a short summary of their union:

Shiva and Parvati are considered complementary forces; one without the other does not make sense and simply cannot be. Parvati is the warm, life-affirming, creative force that balances Shiva's cold, world-denying, destructive one. She's portrayed as having lured Shiva away from his lonely, ascetic lifestyle and showed him the value of life, love and marriage. They're almost always depicted together in artworks, as they're admired/adored not only for their loving partnership, but for the way they uphold cosmic order together. They are life and death. Attachment and detachment. ABUNDANCE AND DESTRUCTION.

It's commonly stated that Parvati is the outright source of Shiva's power. His shakti (not super sure how to explain what this is, it's not very simple. It's... ultimate cosmic energy, basically). She encourages and energizes him. Without her, he is incomplete

They have two kids :P two sons, Ganesha and Kartikeya. (I DID NOT KNOW THIS when I first made up the fankids, I just happened to guess the correct number of kids to give them lol. I thus decided to partially base Pepper Jack on Ganesha and Matar Paneer on Kartikeya, enjoy those links where I explain properly haha (and you can look through their tags to see more abt them if you want))

They also jointly represent harmony between sexes. Shiva is the male aspect, Parvati is the female

They also jointly symbolize love, devotion and sexuality and are said to have a lot of sex (and are also often depicted having sex)

Let me walk you guys through it all one more time. A god who, in his endless rage and grief, chose to forsake the world and all within it, for he believed he had nothing left to value from it...

Who is temperamental, violent, and is not above lashing out at others when he feels wronged... who can and will destroy everything in his path... (You don't need screenshot evidence of this but whatever lol)

Who will lash out at others if they dare to lay their hands on his counterpart, or otherwise keep him away from her...

... And his counterpart, a beautiful, vibrant, benevolent goddess who can take many different forms, including that of an elegant queen adorned with gold and gems, and a great, fearless warrior... (You notice how there's some red in her Soul Jam now? There's that bit of Destruction, used to defend others...)

Who's known and loved for the boundless love and warmth and charity she bestows upon one and all...

Who's known as a creator, a life-giver; who so cherishes the world and what she makes that she allows herself to descend into madness in pursuit of preserving it all... Whose desire and attachment led to ignorance and delusion...

Who, in stubborn defiance of the cruelties she faced, chose to remove herself from them and from the world itself for a time, only to eventually return with her identity and life's purpose still intact, and livelier than ever...

Who takes the form of a hero, a protector of the innocent, a warrior who battles against evil and seeks to vanquish oppression and tyranny...

And together, she and he make up the foundation of the world. The threads with which the great tapestry of the universe is woven. Life and death. Attachment and love for the world, and detachment from and contempt for it. A woman dressed in the finest garments and jewelry, and a man who embodies the unforgiving wilderness in which he sequesters himself.

Abundance and Destruction.

In conclusion: Burning Spice and Golden Cheese are literally Shiva and Parvati, they are husband and wife, they NEED each other and are meant to be together, together they create and maintain the balance of life and the universe, we must all band together and demand that Devsisters release the cutscene that shows their wedding, they are the bride and the ugly ass groom fr fr

"Sanity"... what is that?

An edit idea I had when I decided to suddenly hyperfixate on a song I loved as a kid. Kinda proud of it, kinda think it's not good but... Also the font I used for a certain part was chosen on purpose as a nod to the popular lyrics video I've watched too many times. (the watermark is my tiktok username.)

Dear Keeper of the lore: Have you ever done a Cookie Biology 101 on cheese cookies? Cheese is my favorite consumable substance and I'd like to know more about them please

I'll pay you in my finest cheeses

I haven't, which I'm surprised about, since I love Golden Cheese Cookie and Roguefort Cookie.

You don't have to pay me in your Cheese though! I'd rather much get paid with in information. If you have any artifacts or books or any information to tell me, I'd appreciate that much more instead of cheeses!

Cookie Biology 101: Cheese Cookies

Cheese cookies (not to be confused with Cheesians, who are cookies descended from the Golden Cheese Kingdom), are cookies who have a high amount of cheese in their dough.

Like a lot of cookies, the most prominent thing about Cheese cookie's is their frosting, which is made up of cheese or cream cheese. The texture, scent, and flavor all depend on the type of cheese used. For example, Golden Cheese Cookie's frosting is made up of melted gold cheese, while Mozzarella Cookie's frosting is made up of mozzarella cheese. Because of the cheese, their hair also tends to be heavier and can last longer without being washed (cheese has longer shelf lives), which makes the styles for their frosting very pretty!

Cheese cookie's dough colors range from shades of brown, orange, and yellow, with cookies from the Golden Cheese Kingdom having darker dough colors due to the desert temperatures. Their eyes are warmer colors as well, but they can become cooler colors with flavor mixing.

Cheeses have cheese in their dough. The thickness can make the cookies wider (as in less flat next to the average cookie). But, when hurt, melted cheese will drip out with the strawberry jam. The cheese doesn't work like strawberry jam, but if cheese is leaking out of their dough, it often means that something is wrong.

Their sweat smells like stinky cheese.

[crk-kr-to-en]

Here are the lines that are evidence as to the two Ancients calling out on their Beasts' childishness.

In Kr Dark Cacao: (link)

Mystic Flour: Your appearance… has changed from before.

All fear disappeared. Rather, I knew your fear.

Mystic: ... What?

Pity for yourself for trying to practice in a cocoon and having to give up halfway through because you were ripped out of it! Anxiety over losing the power granted to you as the first prophet! The immaturity of wanting to make others experience the same pain you have!

Mystic Flour: To this great beast… how could you say such a thing…!!!!

♤

In Kr Golden Cheese: (link) (link)

>Proving she isn't a Soul Jam thief to the Spice Beasts.

Your master is deprived of soul jam as a naughty child is deprived of a dangerous toy...

>Fighting with Burning Spice in a crumbling state.

Phew… I just sighed for a moment because you look so pathetic. Are you really saying that you can destroy your spices and your temples…?

Burning Spice: You fight over the trash I threw away? You destroy the old temple from the entrance to the top? What's wrong with that? Rather, it's something funny and entertaining! Hehehehe!

Huh… In my opinion, you didn't abandon your role as a god. You just weren't good enough to become a god…

Burning Spice: ... What?

You have not guided history. You're obsessed with fighting over great things… Do you think your civilizations lasted long? Of course they fell apart. As a leader who failed to advance civilization, you must have felt bad about your failure.

(THEY NEED CREAM FOR THOSE FUCKING BURNNS😭)

They easily understood their Beast counterparts, but they don't have enough understanding for them to even think that they never had a choice when they were tasked to do so.

And out of the three Ancients, Pure Vanilla never used this harsh judgement towards Shadow Milk Cookie, but instead let him do as he pleases, even if he was mentally tortured and his friends being in near death tricks in order to provoke him. Through Smilk's childishness and trust, he tricked him into sharing one soul with him, then saw everything that was under the Mask of Lies he has made to protect himself of reality. This is the level of kindness and understanding that couldn't be done by the other two previous Ancients who also knew of their Beasts' childishness. They never dug deeper into understanding why they did the things they do.
