Do you accept? (PleazspelasepleaseIneedlicolmondcontentibegofthee)

I know this has been probably months in the making (sorry about that), but I finally got to it, and their names are Marzipan Cookie and Black Sesame Cookie

Originally I was just going to stick with Marzipan, but after getting that thing from anon with suggestions for Marzipan’s character, I decided to use one of the other names for some of the other ideas listed. Thanks again to that anon for the help

I came up with these names a long time ago, so I don’t entirely remember Black Sesame’s name reasoning, other than I think it was based off the seeds and it was because those seeds are a dark color like licorice? And probably some other reason relating to Almond that I can’t remember. But for Marzipan, it’s because marzipan is made from ground almonds

Marzipan and black sesame seeds:

I’ll say one thing, I feel like Marzipan looks almost nothing like Licorice. Hmm, maybe she was younger she had a goth phase where she dressed more like him and maybe dyed her hair? I dunno, but at this point she’s moved past that. I also feel like she looks more like a journalist, when she’s supposed to be a cop. She has a badge somewhere on her jacket, you just don’t see it. The anon mentioned something about skull cuffs, so I thought might as well give her that, so yeah her cuff links are skull shaped. Also originally, her jacket was orange, but I changed it to purple because I thought one of them should at least have a color scheme similar to Licorice (also I was waiting on my friend for a consultance on which colors to use, but she’s going out on vacation, so I just stuck with purple. I should probably find more consultants on this stuff than just her, but also I feel like that’d be rude)

Also I know neither Licorice nor Almond have white hair, but the pictures of marzipan I found were usually an off white color, so I chose to stick with that

As for Black Sesame, I’m pretty happy with his design, it’s pretty much what I wanted. I wanted him to look somewhat like a crazy and/or homeless person, even though he isn’t one. Though maybe I could have given him more detail. Ah well. Oh also, Black Sesame has a slouch, but is also just generally a bit short. Sorry just random detail I wanted to mention

So anyways, let’s get into the two, starting with Marzipan. So she’s part of the police force like Almond (who’s probably the Commissioner at this point), and she specifically deals with homicide cases. Previously, she attended the Parfaedia Institute and learned magic, as well as some from Licorice, and probably her most notable asset is that she can temporarily bring a victim back from the dead via licorice magic (even if she herself doesn’t have much licorice in her dough), so they can figure out how they died and who killed them. Unfortunately, she has the bad luck that almost all of the victims she deals with don’t have those answers, so she still has to try and figure things out for herself, though the victims can be helpful in the process. To be honest, her cases tend to go more like Ace Attorney cases, with a lot of wacky hijinks and things being relatively light hearted (you know for a murder case). She loves her job but she can get frustrated sometimes with the amount of weird stuff she has to deal with to get her job done. Also you know that clip of suspects having to sing I Want it That Way? I’d imagine she’d be the cop in that scene (sorry I’ve never seen Brooklyn 99, only clips)

As for Black Sesame, he’s a teenager that also attends Parfaedia, but he has little if any interest in learning magic, and is only still going because he likes the potions track (which Prune Juice likely had some involvement in, but I’m not sure how). His big thing is that he’s an author of a series of murder mysteries, which he loosely bases off of Marzipan’s talks of her cases (and case files as well as her diary, but he doesn’t tell her about that last bit). Like he’ll lift certain elements from her cases that he thinks are interesting (as well as the main character being a cop that brings people back from the dead), and then insert them into this stories. Though unlike how Marzipan’s actual cases tend to be more on the wacky side, Black Sesame’s versions tend to be incredibly dark and gritty with gratuitous amounts of violence and vulgarity. However, Black Sesame doesn’t just do this because he wants to make edgy fanfiction, it’s because he’s trying to make statements based on the stories at hand, choosing to use the dark tone as a form of satire while also being a commentary on things (unfortunately I don’t really know what those messages or things are, because I’m not good at deeper meanings to stories, I kind of have to be told them by other people to understand them). He generally doesn’t condone the dark things he puts in his stories, he just uses them to make a point

His books are actually incredibly successful, some people reading it for satire, and some just because of the dark content. However he hasn’t made it publicly known that he’s the writer of the series (he uses a pen name), with it really only being kept between his publishers and his family. He does it partially because he thinks that revealing a teenager wrote these books could lessen people’s opinions on the books, and also he thinks it’s funny if he doesn’t tell people, like some of his classmates read them and love them, including plenty of people who just generally don’t like him, and he thinks it’s hilarious, and he wants to keep it up until the best possible moment to publicly reveal himself so that he can see the looks on their faces when they realize he’s the author

Marzipan doesn’t read the books (hence why she doesn’t know he reads her diary for info), mostly just because she knows the main character is based on her and the stories are based on her cases, and she finds it a bit too surreal to read about. And while no one knows the real identity of the author, other people in the precinct suspect Marzipan has some connection to them, considering the main character sounds suspiciously like her and the cases in it sound a bit too much like their cases for these to be complete coincidence

Also I’m considering the idea that they have a youngest sister called Swirl Taffy who wants to be a wizard and is just generally an optimistic child, but Black Sesame keeps trying to get her into dark things and Marzipan has to stop him (but she probably already knows the dark stuff and is cool with it), but I don’t think I’ll draw her, just a random concept

But yeah, I think that’s all on Marzipan and Black Sesame. Hope you like them!

Pale yellow eyes met solid brown, and the cookie behind the interrogation table gave a little huff, a raised brow accentuating the sound. Almond sighed, tapping his pen on the paper in front of him.

"So," Almond said, "this is quite the list of crimes you have racked up here, Licorice Cookie."

"What can I say?" The woman gave a wheezing laugh, resting her handcuffed hands on the table. "Got your attention, didn't it?"

He sighed, wishing sorely that he had thought to bring his coffee into the interrogation room. "If you want my attention, there are better ways of going about getting it."

"Such as?" Licorice rolled her eyes. "You're pretty much married to your work."

"Magical Emergency Handling is important, Licorice," Almond sighed, the words practiced and tired and echoed from countless times of being said before, "and I can't let these crimes of yours go unanswered."

"Wait wait, you're serious?" Licorice looked alarmed, sitting up in her seat. "Almond. You're actually serious about this?"

Almond gave her a flat look, eyes flicking down to the handcuffs that bound her wrists together and sealed her magic. She followed his gaze, deflating slightly in her seat.

"Illegal use of magics ranging from improper summoning to forbidden arts, public endangerment, public disruption, resisting Parfaedian law enforcement..." Almond listed off a few more things, before pausing and looking at the cookie across the table.

She had slumped down in her seat, looking rather upset. Almond sighed again, and taking a moment to readjust his patience, set aside the pen and paper.

"What's really wrong, Licorice?" he asked, reaching across the table to take her handcuffed hands into his own. "I know you like your dramatics, but this incident today wasn't like you at all."

Licorice didn't answer, but she didn't pull away the way she would have if this weren't serious. She craved physical contact, especially when she was in need of comfort. It was always a surefire way to calm her down from some anxiety attack or something else that had caused her distress.

"Licorice," Almond tried again, gently rubbing his thumbs on the backs of her hands. "I can't help if I don't know how to. Let me try."

Licorice took in a shuddering breath. She let it out slowly, and then spoke. "I just... miss you. A lot," she added, when Almond paused. "And I know you'll be home at night, but I'm... alone all day. And you're always working. It just feels like we don't get to spend any time together! Not like how we used to."

Licorice wasn't looking at him, gaze turned down, and a cold stone dropped in his stomach. Had she done all this just to get his attention? Had he been neglecting her?

"I'm sorry," Almond said, voice faltering, and he cleared his throat. "I'm sorry," he tried again, stronger. "My job is important, but... you are more important."

Licorice looked up at him then, eyes carefully narrowed. "You're not just saying that, are you?"

Almond shook his head. "I'm glad you told me. I had no idea I was making you feel this way. It was not my intention to neglect you, and I'll see about taking some more time off of work, but... please don't do something like this ever again? Pardoning all of this is going to be a pain..."

Licorice laughed, bright and happy. "I won't," she said, "so long as you actually follow through."

Almond sighed, but couldn't help the huff of laughter that escaped him. He stood, moving over to the other side of the table.

"How about this," he said, pulling out the key to the magic suppressant handcuffs clamped around her wrists, "I'll leave early tonight, and we can go out to dinner somewhere."

The cuffs unlocked, and Licorice looked up at him, rubbing absent-mindedly at her wrists. There was a smile on her face, one she couldn't hide no matter how hard she was trying to.

"That sounds amazing," Licorice said, her smile soft and happy.

Because if she felt neglected enough to do something like this, he would drop everything to make her feel better.

Does anybody have any Almond/Licorice reqs?

[quibbs126]

I’ve been getting requests for Licorice/Almond for a while now, and I promise, I am getting around to it, heck they’re one of the lowest 3 on my list (as in oldest and ones I should probably do first), it’s just that I have multiple ideas for names and I haven’t been able to consult my friend yet to see which one works best

Edit: actually wait a minute, why don’t I just ask here?

Alright, so my listed options are:

Swirl Taffy Cookie

Almond Toffee Cookie

Marzipan Cookie

Black Sesame Cookie

(Though I will admit the concept of 4 is growing on me, I’m not sure it’ll pan out)

[licorice-my-beloved-archived]

LICORICE x ALMOND COOKIE??

[quibbs126]

An idea for Marzipan: Noir detective for murder mysteries. Could easily solve said murders with bringing back the dead but what's the fun in that? Chaotic lawful with dark ish morals regarding death. Writes down the syccessful cases with grizzly detail into book form as a warning to be good

Possibly has cuffs that are bone shaped and wavey hair to cover a hollow eye? Stitches to look like a skeleton?

Just the thing that pops in my head sjdb

Sorry this is late, but I do like the ideas here

I think my brain has taken some of the these concepts and tried to work them into something I can work with. I like the idea of her bringing back victims from the dead in her murder cases, but also I want to add the idea that she just has the luck that most of her victims either don’t know how they died or they don’t know who did it, so she has to like, go around with their reanimated bodies and figure out who it was from them. Randomly, I’m thinking of that “I Want it That Way” scene from Brooklyn 99 (never seen the show but I have seen that clip), and she has to do that with one of her victims

I do also like the idea of the cases being written down into book form in gritty detail, but I think I want to make that into another character, like a sibling of hers. I’m thinking I’ll use Black Sesame for that. Like, Marzipan gets home and talks about the case she’s had to deal with, and then the other kid transcribes it (though probably with some embellishments to the story to make it sound more horrific and gorey), and then publishes it into a book

But yeah, thank you for your help, you gave me some good ideas to work with

(maybe I should start asking for more help with these guys…)

[licorice-my-beloved-archived]

Almond seeing Licorice for the first time (and then ruining it by yelling that she has the right to remain silent right after)

[quibbs126]

I feel like I should apologize for the whole Licolmond fankid, since I said that was gonna be one of the next ones…and that was like a month ago, and I’m still basically nowhere

Problem is, I just don’t know what to do for Marzipan Cookie (that’s their name). So, I just don’t have any ideas for what to do

Also I’m not at school right now, I’m on break, so the need to just draw is not here, so I can’t just make something up as I go like I may have before

I imagine it’s not too big a deal to the people who requested, but still, I feel bad for it
