Saint Vanilla Cookie by @cuppajj!!!

[imaginariumwanderer]

Mkay last post before logging off. Featuring silly pixel art I made w/ my mouse.

This chart was actually made out of pure self-indulgent a while back with no intention of being posted, I ended up scribbling(?) all over the thing. Hopefully it's readable when zoomed in.

It's "my ship in 5 minutes" but I can make it 30 if you want. WARNING: Tons of sappy yapping+pixel art download under cut.

About "tropes": The trope is called Angel-Devil shipping, oh but I don't think PV is an angel. He's more like a God for SM (at least that's my preference)… Thinking at all the possible tropes that suits them make me really wonder why some people consider Shadowvanilla a crack/pro ship. Enemies to lovers or villain/hero ships have been pretty archetypal since the day of olds. Compared to all the ships I've encountered in the past… Shadowvanilla is more or less the "slightly out of the norm" on the "problematic ships scale" <- typing this out make me feel like an old fandom veteran haha

About "how it happens": I have no idea where to put PV on that chart. He's the one who approached first, but not out of romantic intents, him falling for SM is as unexpected as can be. SM fell first and slowly, and in 'slow' I meant decades upon decades. It's inevitable, painfully so, spending all those years watching over this cookie who's so perfect in his imperfections, how could one not feel something? Of course it's not so simple, that 'something' is a horrid mixture of disgust, envy, hatred, understanding, both the need to preserve and destroy… And maybeee the tiniest crumb of affection? SM realized something around the first couple hundredth years mark, he then spends the next thousands in denial of it. No matter. Whether it's PV or the Soul jam, his birth-given rights. SM knows what he wants and he WILL get what he wants. (He's wrong on both fronts. And somewhere in the back of his mind, SM knows that. But he'll never admit it. He'll never ever admit anything. Until it's too late. In a way, the same goes for PV)

About a certain someone who's not clingy, but would die for attention: I think PV gets lonely easily. As he's hyper-aware of himself and considerate of others, appearing clingy is the last thing PV wants. So PV would put extra efforts in taking care of those around him, be it cookies, animals or the greenery in his garden. A healer is always busy, always helpful. If he's always needed by others then he would never be afraid of being alone. Ironically enough, this ended up making PV come off as a little overbearing. As of late, the only ones able to see through the facade are Hollyberry cookie and you-know-who.

Other scattered thoughts: These two are completely different yet can't be more similar, on the various sliding scales they're either stuck to one another or are flung to both ends. On another note, honestly I can't see these two doing anything domestic together, the most I can see is cooking, which is basically the same as magic in the cookie world. Anyways, are they in "love"? Are they dating? Not really, no. It's more of a a parasitic-turned-symbiotic-soulbond, a will-they-won't-they-destroy-the-world situationship (iykyk) I do enjoy relationships that's hard to put into words. Their feelings are somehow romantic, somewhat deranged and something much, much deeper.

My desire to ship these two comes from the desire to see them grow beyound their archetypes. Being with PV does give SM the chance to be horrible as can be, yeah, but I'd like to think SM does have a personality outside of being a villainous tormentor. He spends so long observing others, and now for the first time he's being seen. Now SM have met someone who can see right through him, who can glimpse into those dammed vulnerabilities of his. Being with SM does let us see PV in his darkest moments, but it's at the same time the moments where PV can shine the most, to prove SM that his ideals isn't naïveté or simple platitudes. In canon, SM+PV works well as enemies, but it is the many contradictions born when romance is added into the mix that got me shipping. They simultaneously break down and bolster one another's greatest traits. Like binary stars, they orbit around the other, so close yet so far apart, lest they collide. They could've been so perfect for each other. But not in this life, or the next, or the next...

Pixel art time! I have way too much fun w/ Smilk's many faces, his and PV's combined came to around 22 expressions. These are quick to made due to their small size (25x25 px). Zip file includes both the og and 75x75 sizes. I don't mind if any Vanilla milkshakers might use these, just please remember to read the my art terms and conditions first! (which can be found in my About)

Some disclaimer: some images may have different names. This is the first time I'm using Getuploader so sorry if something broke.

I think it's kinda interesting how, while the Beasts are opposites of the Ancients, some feel like reflections to Ancients they're not directly related to.

Starting with the pair that feels most obvious, Silent Salt and Dark Cacao. Their designs especially seem similar with the armor, sword, and color palette. Silence also feels like it can be related to Dark Cacao's isolation during his previous arc.

This feels the same as with Pure Vanilla and Mystic Flour. Again with their color palettes, but also with their religious theming, both being obligated to help all those that seek their guidance.

Again, mostly similar vibe with these two. You could even argue that Destruction can be considered an extention of Passion in a way. These next pairs get a bit weaker with their comparisons, which is why I started with the strongest ones first.

My comparisons for Golden Cheese and Eternal Sugar come down to both of them having wings and some speculation I have. "Eternal" I feel could imply abundance, which may be a motivation for Eternal Sugar's slothfulness. It's possible they simply have all they desire, thus no longer having the will to do anything.

Lastly, for White Lily Cookie and Shadow Milk, the biggest point of comparison I have is that Shadow Milk Cookie's theatrical presentation could also be considered an extention of freedom (especially since it's implied that he used to be an academic). This is the one I really stretch the most with, I'd say.

Why do I bring any of this up? What I think about these possible links is that the Beasts reflect what each of the Ancients could become, if taken to their logical extreme. Also, with those that share their Soul Jams being their opposites (Pure Vanilla being truth and Shadow Milk being deceit, etc.), it can imply that each of the Ancients are each other's opposites as well. Opposites that mesh well enough despite it, anyway.

I'm bad at analysis, so do what you will with this. I don't know if this is anything. Implications and whatnot.

◆♠︎I believe the feeling is mutual♠︎◆

Dropped another piece after decates!!

I missed rendering a bunch and this was super fun to work on!!

Finally rendered something for Intertwined Opposites like I did with Storybook a while ago, I had to do it to em/silly

[fisheito]

i told myself that yakuei only had one position then i proved myself (sorta) wrong

my fave face here:

[snail-noodle]

grrr... can't stop thinking about how infatuated my oc is with pure vanilla cookie (and then eventually shadow milk cookie, but he falls for her harder)

pure vanilla is just.. completely oblivious (at first) that she has a crush on him. it doesn't help that pv is more prone to physical affection towards those he calls family and friend.

this man is constantly holding her hand whenever he sees how stressed she is. my poor lavender cookie is burning up in the face whenever he does that or even hugs her 🤭💖

also omg here's a piece I commissioned for these 3!! Art credit to @/bonsiii-art 😭💖💖💕💖💕

LOOK AT THEM!!

[yukinabushido]

I'm making the sick jester an actual thing I swear. So, I just realized the sketches of Shadow Milk being sick in different ways is my most liked post for some reason, so I decided to give you guys a decent drawing of it, which is basically one of the sketches but with lineart and color:

No but srs thank you so much for the support??? Like, those were sketches I wasn't even proud of, I'm flattered! ‎‧₊˚✧ ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა ✧˚₊‧

[obernice]

Commission from Telegram!!

I just posted in one channel that I was drawing a personal dakimakura with Vee and there was a person who also wanted it.

He really love results C:

[lemonadehtwooh]

I have spent since 5th grade working on my ability to draw just to produce this

I should try drawing in my anime style more often, it's so fun for something I never try using XD

[pinkvaquita]

Ok I'm being so obssesed lately with Golden Cheese and Dark Cacao. But like... I think their friend-ship/friendly rivalry/whateverbisexualthingtheyhad is so fucking hillarious since they are polar oppositives but share the same strong personality.

Like, probably when they were all together before the Dark Flour War, Golden Cheese LOVED to annoy the fuck out of him and make him mad. But they never actually hated eachother, Golden Cheese just found funny making this grumpy man more grumpy than usual. And the first thing she did after calming down from her whole delusional situation and hearing all the important thing. Was to run and go see him, just to wacht Dark Cacao's face when he realizes that now the woman that annoys him the most is back. Like... Omg their dynamic is just so funny in my head-

(also here is a version in spanish of the comic above, I just thought I should do it in spanish too)

[lilacthebooklover]

don't mind me drafting up a vanilla milkshake (silly vanilly x shadow milk) propaganda post instead of sleeping <3. the ship name is courtesy of @charismabee, who has graciously pointed out my apparent inability to make any that aren't cursed :)

[bunbunism]

I didn't like how this turned cuz my cat kept jump scarring me and I flipped flopped on line art but I need to post lmao

I love the hc she has wings now, I love my pookie, pookiest pookie to ever pookie

[romaritimeharbor]

addiel try not to get attached to inherently nurturing & encouraging, and therefore either somewhat or extremely parental, characters challenge (impossible)

[karol-chan-art]

I saw some people I follow do this "What if" thing where their OCs/fankids are in @cuppajj 's Beast Ancients AU and I decided to join in the fun!

I think I'm gonna just do my fankids who are related to the ancients though because HAHA I have WAYYY too many-

Vanilla Roguefort Cookie

Status- Deceased

She and her siblings were in the Vanilla Kingdom when Saint Vanilla happened, unfortunately she couldn't run fast enough to escape from being "purified"..

Langsat Dragon Cookie

Status- Deceased

After Vanilla Roguefort's "purification", he decided to confront Saint Vanilla alone to buy some time for his remaining sibling to escape. He sadly didn't make it out alive and in the end was "purified" aswell..

Pure Passionfruit Cookie

Status- Alive

If watching their younger sister be "purified" wasn't enough, their own older brother sacrificed himself for them to escape, now they're all alone and wandering Earthbread to look for a safe place to take refuge.

Red Pear Dragon Cookie

Status- Alive

Since Red Pear is quite easily influenced, they never questioned why the Red Dragon, Pitaya, had been shackled and studied underneath the castle. They just believe whatever is happening will be over soon and does everything Dragonberry tells them to without a single question or hesitation.

Acerola Dragon Cookie

Status- Alive

Unlike his younger sibling, he's not as easily influenced, but still does everything Dragonberry tells him to. He often sneaks to the castle underground to talk to Pitaya whenever there aren't many cookies around, he firmly believes he won't be caught anytime soon.

Tarte Choco Cookie

Status- Deceased

She was peacefully asleep when the entire kingdom started freezing, she was unnaware and froze without even having time to wake up..

Zuccotto Cookie

Status- Deceased

He tried to rebel against Celestial Cheese, which in the end resulted in him being turned into a golden statue right in front of his younger sisters as an example to them..

Golden Pearl Cookie

Status- Alive

Seeing her older brother being turned into gold, she made sure to give all her devotion. She never once made a mistake or went against Celestial Cheese since then, living in fear of being turned into gold if she did.

Charcoal Cheese Cookie

Status- Alive

She visits her brother daily, never missing a single day. The day her brother was turned into a golden statue was extremely traumatizing for her, she rarely talks, eats, or sleeps.

Night Sky Petunia Cookie

Status- Alive

Very loyal to Midnight Lily, never once even questioned her leadership, though she misses her old self very much.

Moonflower Cookie

Status- Alive

She misses Midnight Lily's old self as much as her sister does, yet she faithfully stands at her side due to fearing whatever would she do if she stepped out of it. She has no clue what the Beast of Sovereignty can do..

[WIP] Some more updates!!!

I've been quiet recently, but got a bunch of stuff in the works for y'all!!

I'm still working on those paper puppets for a little project regarding intertwined opposites (Possibly one of the most ambitious things I've ever worked on so far) and found a proper way to introduce that new au I'm working on!!

Here are two more paper puppets for the big pmv

And a few sneak peaks for the new au!!

(Doodles+notes alongside a silly little meme with a sprite edit of pewpaw)

I'm working on an info post for it, progress has been slow however since I wanna prioritize the pmv again (Started it on june, stagnated a long period, and went back to work on it. I'm dead set on finishing it this summer AND stubborn/silly).

[Personal reminder: Beetle stop starting wips when you're already busy/silly]
