Secret Commonwealth hopes + predictions

I’m so bloody excited for this dumb book which is coming out in 1 month!!!! I’m compiling this list off the top of my head so few free to add your own ideas! I’d absolutely love to hear them:

Return/mention of HDM supporting cast: this includes Iorek Byrnison, Serafina Pekkala, the Gyptians (please can we see Ma Costa I’m begging you Pullman I love her so much), etc.

The secret commonwealth: oh boy this one is probably the most likely. Didn’t understand a thing about it but that gate tritan dude seemed cool

Fairy queen: her + the idea of multiple dæmons

Return of Hannah Relf’s weird alethiomitor: I didn’t understand anything about it but it seems cool and important.

Bonneville: he’s dead and shit but maybe a look into his studies or a little more into his past? Hdhdhj honestly I just wanna hear him talk more cause I thought his dialogue was so tasty and Scar-like. Give me the nasty bastard

Lyra’s classmates: self explanatory. I think we briefly met a few in Lyra’s Oxford but I’d love to see the friendships Lyra’s made over the past 10 years.

Asta and Pan go on strike: the two dæmons get together and yell at Lyra and Malcom for abandoning them. Give me angst or give me death

Will????: give me Will??? Please??? Let me hear something about the boy????

Lyra’s alethiomitor: it’s only been ten years but she probably has skills somewhat similar to LBS Relf by now. Please can we get a scene where she asks about Will im begging—

Malcom and Lyra: I want some good father/daughter or brother/sister bonding between these two

The nuns: please I loved them so much don’t tel me they’re dead :(

Dæmons: just more general knowledge and stuff about dæmons!

Alchemy: most specifically, the alchemist from Lyra’s Oxford. He seems sorta important

Gay rights: gay rights

rules: what does your character keep on their person? bold for always, italic for sometimes. then, tag some mutuals!

tagging: @nerevar-shid-and-fard @orsinium @devilsworddante @ptsilenthill @sheobaby @ anybody else who wants to do this, i’m bad at this lol. [tagged by @akulorkhan. the edit-tag worked buddy!]

Ku-vastei

➳ BAG

➳ WEAPONS

➳ APPAREL

➳ HEALTH + MAGIC

➳ STEALTH

➳ TOOLS

➳ PROVISIONS

➳ PERSONAL

anything bold, (in parantheses), AND italicized is stuff i’ve personally added to this for clarification purposes. feel free to get rid of them if i tag you!

b/c i want to, im going to elaborate on this under the cut:

she has a backpack wrapped in a bandolier of potions, most homemade. the inside of the bag is....kind of a mess. she just throws things in and has to dig around when she needs something. (not fun when she needs the knife or needle. but that’s what restoration magic’s for, right? there’s no tetanus in nirn, right?) she keeps the shovel (more of a trowel really, mostly used for muck-ing about, hehe) fastened to her bag as well. on top she keeps her guar-hide sleeping bag, wrapped in kresh fiber.

on her hip she (currently) has a sparks-enchanted glass dagger she nabbed off the corpse of one of her first morag tong writs. she thinks. she doesn’t exactly remember where she got it, but she probably killed someone for it, and love it very much.

her primary weapon, however, is a conjured daedric spear. it’s very powerful, and she loves it. just a wave of her claws and it’s hers, ready to stab.

she wears minimal medium armor, just enough to conceal under her robes. right now, it’s an orcish cuirass and bonemold pauldrons. she has a scarf now, but only after having to brave the ashen wastes of molag amur for mage’s guild business, and then winding up almsivi-intervention-ing to ald-ruhn, where there was a helpful ash-scarf merchant. she brings it with her everywhere on this stupid island now. she’s got a belt just to secure her robes a bit, and a few magic rings.

one of those is the ring of khajiiti, which she got from doing a quest for mephala that she didn’t know she was doing, who it was for, or why. first guy she talks to in the morag tong base when she finds it says��“go poison this guy’s food and don’t ask why.” so she did it without asking why, and when she came back, the morag tong guy said “mephala wants to talk to you now” and then she gave ku a magic ring. really nice magic ring, too.

as i said, her backback’s potion bandolier is chock full of useful little brews. restore health, magicka, fatigue, some cure blight disease, some dispel, levitation, etc. anything she might need that she might not (reliably) be able to cast a spell for. (she knows a levitate spell, but it’s really, really hard. she has one shot for it to work, and if it doesn’t, she’s out of magicka.)

she carries a mortar and pestle for on-the-go alchemy, and a lot of herbs and ingredients. she’s very disorganized, but at least she tries to keep those ingredients separated in pouches so as to avoid accidental reactions. she also keeps some of the marshmerrow + saltrice poultice she learned to make from her naheesh so long ago, for those times she doesn’t want to cast a spell or drink a health potion. if you apply it to a wound and wrap it up, it’ll heal, slowly but reliably.

she wants to get into enchanting, and so carries around a fair amount of petty soul gems, and a few lesser ones, and she knows a basic soul trap spell. but she’s constantly cursing herself because she always forgets to cast it, and ends up just killing the thing. she’s got a loose kwama forager, rat, cliffracer soul here and there, but she decided recently to stop carrying them around, because hist knows when she’ll actually use them for anything. still, she keeps some empty gems on her, just in case.

ku taught herself how to pick locks and disable minor traps long ago, when sneaking around the plantation to get or spread information, or to unlock armories to arm her revolt. now that she’s more magically inclined, she knows an ondusi’s spell, but always tries to pick it first, to try and keep the skill fresh.

she keeps a piece of charcoal to keep up with her journal and update her maps. even in her late 40s, she’s not completely literate, having been first a slave, then a revolutionary, then a prisoner. but she can read well enough to get by, and can even write in cyrodiilic enough to keep as detailed a journal as she can. (unfortunately, despite her ability to read cyrodiilic, it doesn’t do her much good in vvardenfell, since a lot of things seem to be written in daedric.)

she keeps needle and thread to sew up any damage to her robes, and to close particularly egregious wounds to maximize the effectiveness of healing magic done on them. she has a knife for utility purposes, generally gathering/processing ingredients such as plants or hides, as well as anything she doesn’t want to dirty her precious glass dagger for. and she keeps some kindling and corkbulb to start fires to keep her warm during the cold nights.

she always carries food and a slaughterfish-gut water bag whenever she’s on a trip for business. usually she eats salted slaughterfish, mudcrab meat, saltrice porridge, and scuttle. she also never turns down any tasty bugs she comes across. she boils her water (and cooks her porridge) in a small cast iron pot, and has a similarly sized pan for grilling meat. she keeps some sujamma on her, not for recreation, but in case she ever needs a bit of a pick-me-up.

as a child, she spent a lot of time with her khajiit friends, who always seemed to have a way to occasionally get a hold of moon sugar, despite the harsh punishment if a slave was caught with it. as a result, ku developed something of a sweet tooth, and occasionally like to treat herself to some.

she also carries extra food and water, just in case she ever runs into a situation where she needs to escort a slave to safety.

her money never seems to exceed about 3000 drakes, mostly due to having to bribe so many people for information, since she’s not always so good with words. now that she’s got a semi-stable job with the morag tong, though, this might change soon. and if she ever gets around to selling some of the junk she’s got holed away.

she keeps the journal and map she obtained from arille’s tradehouse in seyda neen in a front-pocket of her backpack, and tucks any books she finds interesting in her travels in the bottom of her backpack. currently, she is carrying one regularly: "a pilgrim’s path,” just in case she is close by to one of the shrines, or forgets what offering to leave.

she carries her sadrith mora hospitality papers, as well as her current morag tong writs, in a separate pocket from her journal and map. she’s also been collecting these strange, glowing, singing plants she keeps finding along the water with no discernible alchemical uses. she’s shown them to other alchemists, as well, but none of them knew anything about it. some, however, told her there was an alchemist in caldera who studies these plants. she has yet to visit caldera, though.

around her neck she carries a sentimental comfort item: a fire-proof twig from a hist tree (given to her by her naheesh, it is a small fragment of a branch that fell from a hist tree) bound tightly to a small pearl ku’s mother once found in the soil at the bottom of a marshmerrow paddy. both of these women are now long dead, lost either before or during her revolt. they’re all ku has left of them, and constant reminders of the futility of her actions as a young adult.

*rubbing my gay little hands together* ok so my sibling plays cookie run so xe’s already shown me a lot of them so I’ll just be repeating what I said for those. im taking all the ones i saw on the wiki. this is not going to be a 1-10 rating it’s just going to be “this cookie would suck” “this cookie could/does work” or “this cookie would rule”. gimmick cookies that don’t have a listed flavor in their name I will be assuming are just regular gingerbread/shortbread cookies

gingerbrave- that’s a gingerbread cookie. that works

strawberry cookie- that works

ninja cookie- gingerbread, that works

angel cookie- i am assuming that’s like a cake cookie? an angels food cake cookie. that would rule

muscle cookie- also a gingerbread but looks to have chocolate icing? that works

wizard cookie- gingerbread, that works

beet cookie- beets are sweet, that could work

princess cookie- gingerbread. that works

knight cookie- gingerbread. that works

cherry cookie- that would rule

alchemist cookie- gingerbread/shortbread. that works

adventurer cookie- gingerbread. that works

blackberry cookie- that would rule

gumball cookie- have you ever. tried to eat something when you already have gum in your mouth. the other food you are trying to eat disintegrates the gum. it would taste fine but why would you do that on purpose. texture bad

onion cookie- going off the design alone that is raw purple onion. that would suck. a CARAMELIZED onion cookie could work i think

pancake cookie- i imagine it's a pancake mix cookie, that works

avocado cookie- people use avocado in baked goods all the time. typically as an egg replacement i think. that works

carrot cookie- I’m assuming that’s also a cake cookie. a carrot cake cookie does work

clover cookie- clover flowers are edible and people eat them all the time. I assume the clover leaves are too. that would work

custard cookie (III)- that works, they exist

devil cookie- im also assuming this is a cake cookie, devils food cake cookie. that would rule

snow sugar cookie- snow sugar is another name for powdered/castor/icing/dusting sugar. powdered sugar on a cookie. that works

vampire cookie- shortbread cookie, that works

tiger lily cookie- tiger lilies are edible, that could work

werewolf cookie- shortbread cookie, that works

mint choco cookie- that would rule

herb cookie- i have heard of lemon rosemary cookies, rosemary is An Herb but this is herb cookie. there are lots of herbs. it could work i guess. it'd be edible

dark choco cookie- that would rule

sparking cookie- you can use sparkling drinks in baked goods as a egg replacement, that could work

chili pepper cookie- that would be edible but I'm a little bitch boy gender neutral and i can't eat spicy food

pomegranate cookie- that could work

purple yam cookie- that's ube. that would work and probably rule

milk cookie- milk cookies are real, they're also called biscottoni apparently. that works

poison mushroom cookie- inedible. it's poison and i would die

licorice cookie- based on it's design, it's black licorice. it would be edible but I've never had black licorice so i can't speak for how tasty that'd be. also while doing research for this, the chemical in black licorice that gives it it's flavor is "glycyrrhizin" and that looks like the sound you make when you walk into an electric fence

madeleine cookie- this is a real cookie, it is french and shell shaped. that works

espresso cookie- coffee cookie, that would work

rye cookie- at first i was like "that's just bread" but rye probably just indicated that it's a cookie make with rye flour instead of white flour. that works

kumiho cookie- gingerbread. that works

cream puff cookie- that'd probably be a choux au craqueline! that works

latte cookie- coffee cookie, that'd work

almond cookie- that works

black raisin cookie- that works

strawberry crepe cookie- idk how that be a cookie. if it can be done i bet it'd rule

fig cookie- that works

pastry cookie- a palmier, that works

red velvet cookie- also a cake cookie, that'd rule

mango cookie- that'd work

lilac cookie- lilacs are edible, that'd work

sorbet shark cookie- thatd probably work

squid ink cookie- squid ink is salty, it'd be edible but idk how good it'd be. maybe it'd be like a cracker instead. I think cookie run should expand their horizons. include crackers

parfait cookie- fruit and cream in a cookie, that'd work

raspberry cookie- that'd rule

moon rabbit cookie- I'm guessing it's a moon cake but with a rabbit gimmick, that works

mala sauce cookie- once again that'd be edible but I'm a bitch and would not eat a spicy cookie

twizzly gummy cookie- that'd probably work. the gummy would just melt when you bake it though

pumpkin pie cookie- that'd rule

cotton cookie- cotton. not cotton candy. inedible

cocoa cookie- im thinking it's a hot cocoa mix cookie, that works

eclair cookie- that works, eclair cookies exist

tea knight cookie- tea cookies are a thing, it just has a knight gimmick. that works

affogato cookie- coffee and gelato as a cookie that would rule

caramel arrow cookie- I'm assuming it's a caramel cookie and arrow has to do with it's gimmick. that'd work

cherry blossom cookie- cherry blossoms are edible and I'm pretty sure have been made into desserts, that'd work

wild berry cookie- that's just a bunch of berries at once. that'd work

crunchy chip cookie- i assume that means a crunchy chocolate chip cookie, that works

clotted cream cookie- clotted cream shortbread cookies exist, so that works

oyster cookie- see again i think this should just be a cracker. oyster crackers exist, the don't even actually have oyster in them

sonic and tails cookies- yes I'm included ng them. they're just decorated shortbread cookies. that works

sea fairy cookie- sea water in my cookie? otherwise I like to think that's a pecan sandy and that'd work

frost queen cookie: I've heard of cookie recipes that specifically use ice water so maybe it's like that. I'm getting tired of doing this can you tell

pure vanilla cookie- vanilla sugar cookie. that works

holly berry cookie- inedible. that's poison

dark cacao cookie: for a second i was like "didn't I do this one already" but there's dark choco cookie and dark cacao cookie. idk. It'd work

I didn't realize that most of the wackier absurd cookies are non playable until after i finished the post. the more wacky absurd cookies were the reason i wanted to make this post but now I'm so tired. maybe later

rating cookie run characters based on how feasible they’d be as an actual cookie
