WAAAUUUGGGHHH (last cookie standing episode 6 spoilers)

no one:

me when the most annoying character ever gets eliminated: 🙁🙁🙁😿😿😿😿😿😿

no but fr uhhh

alright, well. despite my silly little guy getting eliminated 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂….. (altho I saw it coming anyway) this ep might be one of my top favorites bc it’s honestly so creative. i could tell they were having a lot of fun making this episode and there were some great moments from the budget loss to the ads. quite exquisite! but ya. im glad we got more cream uni and lico crumbs, they are def besties for sure…. i hope licos can take rocky with him and find rocky a good home in the cookies of darkness lair 🖤 also not the fact that they called his rocky obsession abnormal MOVE‼️‼️‼️ HES JUST A SILLY LITTLE GUY….. but yea good redeeming episode from the last one

my reaction to the elimination this episode:

previous part of me drawing the contestants every time they get eliminated

and here’s the episode lalalalala:

[beltsourcookie]

the faerie kingdom episode would have been better if they added worms and moles as their npcs and not a bunch of monotone grayscale silver aesthetic

in fact, the forest/woods aesthetic isnt the problem because compared to actual cottagecore faerie aesthetic, the faerie kingdom is too incredibly 'pristine' and feels like youre in in the utensil section of the cooking aisle

devsis creating the faerie kingdom:

what the faerie kingdom should have taken inspiration from:

cookies that have heavy designs from wild berries and flowers would have been more suitable because it can build a more creative and colourful world instead and there would be endless possibilities for outfits

Haiii orla (՞ . .՞)ฅ” i have a just a small request, what do you like König or any Task Force 141 members favorite sweets would be?

also have a wonderful day, drink water and take care of yourself!

141 + könig favourite sweets :3 🍰🍭🧁🍬

i'm a firm believer that john price doesn't enjoy overly sweet desserts and treats. although, he enjoys licorice, as well as fudge and toffee. if you hand him some skittles, or sour patch kids, he'll gag and spit it out... doesn't do well with sourness whatsoever, and prefers chewy caramel, or fudge!

on the other hand, soap mactavish is a fiend for sweet treats. as he's scottish, i can see him liking scottish tablet, as well as empire biscuits. i also believe he'd like sour and sweet treats, as well as biscuits with jam.

simon riley likes chocolate, although, he's not too big on certain sweets. like captain price, he enjoys licorice, but he can also get behind stuff like haribos, or starbursts. he wouldn't turn down something sweet, but he goes absolutely insane for anything including chocolate. (is also a fan of custard doughnuts, as well as chocolate filled.)

like simon, gaz garrick also enjoys custard filled treats. custard creams, custard filled donuts, or having custard on the side of a brownie. he also adores chocolate flavoured sweets, but also enjoys sour candy. gaz is always complaining that it's not sour enough – he can handle a lot...

könig enjoys mostly everything – aside from licorice and anything mint flavoured. he doesn't enjoy mint flavoured chocolate (like i've stated before), but be goes crazy for most desserts. adores brownies, and makes fantastic homemade, chocolate brownies. enjoys sweeter tasting treats, but CANNOT stand anything sour – trust me, he'll scrunch his face up (he may shed a tear, or two...)

october sixth

day six: james potter james brings you to a campfire with his friends | fluff! james being flirty | 1.1k

It’s a bit of strange magic that you haven’t met James’s friends yet. Not officially, anyway. In passing, sure, and James has told you all about them. He talks about the boys and their antics constantly and assures you that the girls will adore you. It’s only a matter of time before you all get together.

Not for lack of trying, of course. But Remus was out of town and then Sirius had the flu which he gave to Marlene and then everyone was busy with an old schoolmate’s wedding and you were swamped with work and it’s been almost three months since your first date and you still haven’t been properly introduced.

It doesn’t bother you that much. In fact, you’re pretty sure it bothers James much more. “I just don’t want you to think I’m hiding you,” he says. “It’s bloody weird that it’s worked out like this.”

The fix comes with the change of the seasons. Lily’s parents have a country house and invite everyone for a weekend of bonfires and warm drinks and general lazing about.

“A country house, James? Really?” you say when he tells you. He shrugs.

“We go every year. You’ll love it.”

So you agree. It’s not until you’re literally about to turn into the drive that the nerves hit you all at once. Your leg bounces in the passenger seat of James’s car and he puts his palm on your knee to still it.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” he asks. “No harm, no foul.”

“Of course I do,” you scoff. “We’re almost there, anyway.”

James grabs your hand and brings it to his lips. “I’d turn around right now if you asked,” he says. “Seriously.” His dark gaze is steady and warm.

“I will not ask that,” you say. “I want to meet them. I just —”

“They’ll love you,” James says firmly. “They know all about you and they are just as offended that this hasn’t happened sooner. They all blame me, actually.”

He turns off of the long road and the house emerges in front of you like a fairy tale. It’s a country house, sure, but it’s clearly large and nicer than anything you’ve ever seen.

“I hope you’ve only told them good things,” you say. James turns off the car and allows you to stall for a few moments.

“No, I’ve told them how you snore and leave your kitchen cabinets open all the time,” he deadpans. You laugh and he grins. “Have you got your silly bag?”

The tote at your feet is full of things you’ve brought with, despite James’s protests. Licorice for Sirius, cider for Remus, Lily’s favorite biscuits from town. You made sure to have a little something for everyone even though your boyfriend assured you that buying their loyalty wasn’t necessary.

“They’re already on your side since you put up with me,” he’d said.

But now you just nod. James gives your hand one last squeeze. “They’re going to love you,” he says. You let yourself look at him, really look at him in the way you know he enjoys. He looks excited, almost boyish. Fall suits him with his sweater and waxed jacket, a hat tucked into his pocket. His hair is a mess and his glasses need to be cleaned.

You adore him.

“Let’s do it.”

You arrive at the front door to a flurry of activity. Everyone spills out and there are cries of your name and hugs and you hand off your items, feeling a bit shy.

“My god,” Sirius says, looking at his licorice. “She’s perfect, Jamie.”

Remus thanks you with an easy smile for the cider and Lily actually screams when you pull out the biscuits.

“She’s a keeper, Potter,” she shouts. “If you ever want to ditch him,” she says to you, “you’re welcome to. You can hang out with the girls.”

You get pulled from James and meet Dorcus and Marlene and they take you up to your room. The sun has almost set so they tell you to put some more layers on and come down to the bonfire when you’re ready.

“See?” James says as he spills into the room. He tosses your bags on the bed. “They love you more than they love me.”

“I am rather charming,” you say. He laughs and kisses you once, twice, three times. He backs you up against the door and you have to push him away. “They’re expecting us at the bonfire, James.”

He pouts. “Fine,” he says. “If you insist.”

The evening is a fun one. There are jokes and stories and games, everyone drinking to stay warm and snacking on junk food.

You wander back from a trip to the bathroom to find that the seats have reshuffled, the conversations moved. James waves you over.

He’s bathed in the light of the fire, the flames making the lenses of his glasses shine in the dark. The bench he’s on has no more room but he grins and pats his thigh.

You raise your eyebrows. Really? He winks.

You do as he asks and perch on his thigh, knees smushed into his other leg. He wraps his arm around your back to keep you from falling if you lean too far. Dorcus is telling a story about some adventure she and Marlene went on last week, so no one really looks at you.

James tugs on your ear. You lean down and his lips brush against your skin. “This is nice. Are you having fun?”

You nod. “I am,” you say into his hair. “They’re lovely.”

“Thank you for coming.” You know James is mostly happy-go-lucky, pleased as punch to do anything, a real sunshine boy. But you also know it has bothered him immensely that two important parts of his life have been separate until now. He’s worried endlessly that you think he’s not keen on your relationship despite your assurances otherwise. So you are glad that you’re here, even if you were nervous at the start. You just want him to be happy.

He kisses your cheek until you turn your head enough for him to capture your lips. You can’t wait to be in his arms in bed tonight.

“Oi!” Sirius yells. “Stop canoodling. It’s obscene.” He’s teasing, obviously, but you tuck your face into James’s neck anyway.

“Aw, let them,” Lily says. “You’re just bitter you’re single as fuck.”

“Hey!” Everyone laughs. You feel James’s chuckle more than hear it and you put your palm on his chest. His heart is beating steadily. You can hardly believe he’s given it to you.

KitKat rambles 5

Part1. Part2. Part3. Part4. Part5. Part6. Storms. Power. KitKats.

Karaoke: Mostly just sits out and watches happily signing to the song to the best of his ability. May sing now and then if it’s a song he knows and really enjoys.

Will have work books. Will be doing school work other shadows give to him when on breaks. He’s very motivated for a gold star from (idk who wants to teach the kid) for doing well with his work.

Will actually be exited for Pt and drill. Will show up early, the one day he didn’t it turned out he couldn’t sleep so he found the drills and did it at 3am.

Gave himself a bedtime, it’s 8:31. Will not be seen outside his room after this time, very strict about this. Will run to his room if he’s going to be late. Unless he can’t sleep then he’s out exploring.

Always is comparing people to random things. He loves to point it out to others, even if that person doesn’t know the person he’s referring to.

One’s said so far:

A calico cat, yelled its dad very excitedly. Also anything orange gets called Neo Random blue pencil, mostly blue items. Sometimes certain rocks, said it was Pixel would not elaborate.

Most dogs are pointed at and are Selena, also circles. Will not elaborate on this as well

A cat plushy that was all black (this), yelled 7-11!? Also whenever he sees a 7-11 station he will giggle to himself

Tea and ravens, also snakes, mostly boas or corn snakes specifically. These are Orion

Pineapple and Green apple candy's and broken cars are Dawn items. (Not sure if Dawn likes those flavors but KitKat will try to give him candy flavored like that)

Knives and forks and certain fluffy pillows are Switchblade. Again won’t elaborate on it

Graves is anything coffee related, and biscuits and gravy. If KitKat sees something stereotypically American he will say it’s Graves

Valkyrie is anything dinosaur related, also hearts (Specifically black ones or shiny ones) one time pointed at a anatomically correct heart drawing and said 'its Valk!'.

Reed, black licorice and gloves (fluffy black winter ones to be specific). Will say Asl is her as well.

Sentinel, rivers and small creaks. Black licorice and white chocolate. Cigarettes (Specifically the burn out bud) (I will add more as I get to know more people, if I forgot you I’m so sorry T^T)

a letter home

I was inspired to write this after answering this ask 💛✨ Short and sweet, implied (eventual) Sebastian x FMC

September, 1980

Dearest Papa, 

First I must apologize for the delay in my letter and secondly, for any grief the owl gives you upon her arrival. Her name is Ophelia and if she hasn’t already helped herself to the tin of biscuits in the kitchen, you will need to placate her with licorice. A boy—friend— classmate offered the use of his owl until I am able to train my own. 

I know I promised to write as soon as I arrived at Hogwarts, but the journey—I won’t lie to you—I’ve been having a difficult time adjusting. Almost all the students here have grown up with magic and have known about the wizarding world their entire lives. It’s supposed to be natural, and despite Professor Fig’s confidence in my abilities, my magic is anything but.  

I am trying—trying to find my place and purpose and not feel so guilty for leaving you alone on the farm. I miss home, I miss you, and most days I wake up terrified of the magic I can supposedly wield—but I can hear you right now telling me that you (and Mama) did not raise me to give up so easily. 

I know you will worry about me, regardless of what I write in a letter, but I thought to add a little bit of positivity, so you can worry less. I have made an unexpected friend—her name is Poppy and besides being my roommate, she has been keeping me company, so the days aren’t as lonely. You’d like her.  

There is—someone else. A boy. Sebastian is—strange—nice. He escorted me to Hogsmeade. We share a few classes and he has been generous enough to offer his help with tutoring me when Professor Fig is unavailable. He is knowledgeable—though he isn’t very good with plants (Herbology)—the only subject I am any good at. Sebastian calls it a fair trade. You’d like him, too.    

I promise to write again, soon. Promise me you’ll be well, and eat a proper meal—whiskey is not a balanced breakfast, Papa.

With all my love, 

Siobhan 

PS: Ophelia bites.

Idk why I never uploaded my Cookie Run Kingdom stuff here!

Made a bunch of OCs based on biscuits (and cookies) I like~

Licorice is my absolute fave, he’s such a wet paper bag!

[faunandfloraas]

top five snacks!

deeply difficult question for me to answer........... Truly sat here like 😐 trying to determine what snacks I love. For snacks I'll go with stuff that you Eat It Without Any Prior Effort

Any kind of biscuit. Love having a biscuit with my tea, special shout out to Tim Tams, my homemade choc chip cookies, chocolate scotch fingers, shortbread creams, and theres these lil indian heart shaped ones my grandma always has at her house I like.

Good ol kettle chip. Love a nice crunchy, crunchy chip. I'm fond of the chipotle & honey flavour one lately.

mango or raspberries or blackberries. just nice, fresh fruit in general.

Licorice. When I was a kid my dad used to buy this roll of black licorice and he would peel it into individual rows and braid it and then put it in my lunch box :) I still love licorice. Especially red licorice, though. But all the red licorices seemed to change recipes a few years back and they aren't right anymore.

lil puffed rice cakes 😇

Chapter 9: Cortondo (Patch)

Thanks to Kapheria, Patch arrived at Cortondo earlier than they had expected. The entrance to the humble village was accompanied by rows of olive trees coming into season. It surrounded the air in a licorice, sweet fragrance allowing fantasies of olive oil meals to fill their head.

  The village itself was smaller than Mezagoza, but just as bustling. Farmers and vendors advertised their delicacies and delights. Some townsfolk had bug-type Pokemon accompanying them such as Heracrosses, Vivillions, or Tarontulas. Cottages adorned themselves with vines or even silvery webs. The roads were paved with gray stone composites and olive green banners were hung from the street lamps. They read: Cortondo Olive Harvest Festival April 15th-April 18th.  

That’s the day after tomorrow, Patch thought, I wonder if Sage knows that it’s happening? I’m not sure I can stay for all of it. 

Patch abruptly slid off Kapheria and planted their bottom onto the rough ground, “Ouch!”

Some townfolk couldn’t help but chuckle at the clumsy trainer’s ungraceful display, while the other few had their eyes drawn to the magnificent, metal dragon. Oh, come on! They blushed as they picked themselves up, You try getting off a dragon’s back!  

Suddenly they felt a tickle of air from their neck, causing goosebumps. It was just Kapheria kindly for sniffing for scrapes. 

“Kapheria,” Patch laughed, “Stop it I’m fine!”

“Arggg,” the violet dragon affectionately nustled their beanie. Pushing the dragon side, Patch glanced around the street for Sage. They couldn’t discern a short man with carmine-red hair out of the plentiful crowd. I must be the first one here. They pulled out their phone for any missed messages on their phone.

When Patch lifted their head from their screen, they found that Kapheria had her snout in someone else’s food.

“Hey, I’m selling those!” The elderly store clerk tried swatting at the dragon. 

Patch pulled her back by the neck her metallic skin feeling hot from driving. “Kapheria!” Patch scolded, “Mind your manners! That's not yours!” I should have given her breakfast! “I’m so sorry sir! She’s just a little excited!”

Kapheira’s silver jaw was stained with black juice and crumbs. “Arrrr….” She remorsefully growled. 

“Sorry, it doesn't cover it!” The store clerk’s nostrils flared, “Those biscuits took me an hour to bake! Your Pokémon bites it, you bought it!” 

The store clerk scowled at the trainer. There was a fire in his brown eyes, Patch felt their skin burning at the crisp.

“How much?” They surrendered their wallet. 

“1,000 P for the batch!” He scoffed.

Arceus Kapheria! “I’ll take two…” they sighed handing him a doubled amount. I might as well get two while I’m at it. 

The store clerk swiped the crinkling cash from Patch’s trembling hand. He slammed a white box of biscuits on his table and the anxious trainer took it fearfully. 

“Keep it on a leash,” The store clerk muttered under his breath.

As soon as they hung out with Sage, Patch couldn’t wait to leave this village. They opened the box and were met with a dozen black olive biscuits. Committed to their hasty investment, Patch reluctantly took a bite not even knowing if they liked the taste of olives. While the olives made the bread rubbery in texture, they couldn’t deny the biscuit pertained a pleasant saltiness even Patch couldn’t deny. Not bad. 

“Arggg…” Kapheria wined, enlarging her blue eyes. 

“No Kapheria!” Patch pulled the box away from the dragon, “You just ate biscuits that you made me buy. If you want another one, you’re going to have to behave!”

Just then they felt a vibration in their pocket, their Roto phone hovered in front of them.

Patch scurried through the village frantically scanning the area for the flying taxi station.  Kapheria romping behind them like a large puppy. Once they saw a sign labeled: Taxi station, they knew they were in the right place. In the faint cerulean sky, Patch saw a black speck coming into view. That must be him! 

The young trainer dug into their bag and threw three Pokeballs into the air. Out came Tamarind, Kombucha, and Flumpfy. Patch was eager to show their Pokemon off in person as well as Kapheria, even though the large dragon was a bit skittish. Yet Kapheria was the least of their concerns, it was Arturo they were worried about. It’ll be fine, they thought, I’ll just keep him in his ball.

The speck in the air slowly lowered followed by the sounds of synchronized wingbeats and squawking. An air taxi carrier gently landed on the ground tied to a rainbow of Sqwakabillies. A broad-shouldered woman in an aviator coat stepped out of the carrier to slide the door open. 

“Need any help with that, sir?” The pilot asked.

“Nope, I’m fine!” Sage’s voice responded. 

“Sage!” Patch squealed so high it startled some of the Squawkabillies, “It’s you!” 

“Oh my Arceus, Patch!” Sage peeked out of the carrier smiling, “Hang on just a second!”

Sage pulled himself out of the carrier with a cane in hand. He wore black jean shorts and a gray sleeveless shirt that revealed the black Purloin tattoo on his right arm. The lenses in her glasses were tinted gray to protect his aqua eyes from the harsh rays of the sun. Patch could already tell he was still getting used to the Paldean heat. 

“Hi!” Sage reached his arm out to hug his friend. He was the best at giving hugs. 

While being comforted in a single arm squeeze, Patch could hear Kapheria wincing at the sight of a new person. 

“Yooo!” Sage marveled at the metallic dragon, “Who’s this, is she yours?”

“Oh, I can’t, believe I forgot to introduce you to Kapheria,” Patch explained, “She’s not mine, I’m just watching her for someone.” 

“You’re watching her?!” Sage gasped, “What Pokemon is she? I’ve never seen this species before!”

Answered as best they could, “I don’t think I remember, but her trainer says she’s quite rare.”

Patch browsed their messages to Professor Turo. Their past three text messages still unanswered. Why hand your Pokemon to me, and then ghost me? What is this man doing most of the day? Maybe Kapheria is mine now?

They looked back up from their screen to see Sage reaching her hand out to pet the frighted dragon. 

“Argg…” Kapheria shielded herself with her tail.

Maybe I should’ve worried about Kapheria after all! “Ah- Kapheria’s a bit shy,” Patch awkwardly blurted.

“Aw, poor baby,” Sage sighed. 

Patch took a biscuit out of the box, “Here,” Patch handed Sage a biscuit, “Give her some food and she’ll warm right up to you.” 

“You let her eat biscuits?” Sage wondered.

“I let her eat sandwiches” Patch corrected her, “She eats anything and it never comes back out.” 

“Lucky her!” Sage laughed taking the treat from Patch. 

“Woink, Woink,” Kombucha put a hoof on his trainer's foot begging for a biscuit. 

“Yeah Yeah, here you go, grouchy!” Patch gave the pig his treat.

Kombucha paced his snout on Patch’s wrist and licked the biscuit off their palm. His tongue felt wet with spit and mucus. To be fair they gave two more biscuits to Tamarind and Flumpfy. 

“Naww, you’re a hungry girl! Aren’t ‘tcha, Aren’t ‘tcha?” Sage tickled Kapheria’s chin.

“Arrrg!” Kapheria purred back.

“So remind me what their names are?” The carmine-haired boy asked.

“Right,” said Patch, “The dragon is Kapheria, the Fuecoco is Tamarind, the Lechonk is named Kombucha, and the Mareep’s Flumpfy. I caught him yesterday.” 

“Didn’t you have another Pokemon?” Sage raised a brow. 

“Oh um. Yes, Arturo! He’s… tired so I’m letting him rest in his Pokeball,” Patch lied staring directly at Sage’s right hip.” I have to make sure I let him out when Sage isn’t around. 

“Aw, that’s sweet of you!” Sage smiled, “You want to see some of my Pokemon?” 

“Sure!” Patch nodded.

Sage took two common Pokeballs out of her pocket and opened both of them. Out of the dim blue lights came a Sprigatito and a Shinx. 

Oh great, Patch had flashbacks of Fuerte, Of course, Sage would choose a cat when given the chance. They could already feel the scrapes against their arms.

“You remember, Dahlia. And I call my Shinx, Zia,” Sage introduced them to the two cats. 

Dahlia looked more fluffy and plump compared to Fuerte. Instead of a light green pelt, she was more yellowish like a dried leaf. She didn’t seem to hiss when noticing Patch, but the nervous trainer held their guard. 

The much bigger Zia looked like your typical Shinx. Sky blue fur with black legs. Yet she had flecks of gold on her paws and muzzle like pyrite in lapis. 

Both teams of Pokemon began curiously sniffing at each other.  Patch could only hope that Dahilia wouldn’t scratch anyone.

“So did you know that there was going to be a festival held here?” Patch asked as they went along the street.

“Oh yeah, the Olive Harvest Festival!” Sage gazed at the dangling banners, “I was playing visit Cortondo for the occasion. So, I’m glad you're here too!”

Cortondo was known for having the best desserts in the region. Of course, Sage’s sweet tooth would bring him there.

“So will you be entering the Harvest Tournament too?” Sage asked. 

Tournament? As in… battling tournament?! As in Pokemon fighting?! “Uh…” Patch spoke with a dry throat, “I didn’t know there was a tourna-“ 

“WOINK!” Kombucha abruptly squealed.

Patch turned to see their Lechonk throwing himself against Sage’s Shinx. 

“Maur!” Zia cried, her fur bristling with tiny sparks. 

“Oh no!” Patch hurried over to break up the sudden fight. I knew this would happen! 

They anxiously picked up Kombucha by the belly, and held him as he wriggled about, “Sage, I am so sorry! I didn’t think he would do this!”

Sage seemed not to bat an eye, “No no, it’s okay Patch, I think they were just play fighting!” 

Do spouting attacks count as play fighting? “Well, I didn’t expect him to be this rough!” They huffed, as the hog struggled to break free. 

“Battling is perfectly healthy for them, why don’t we let them duke it out in a real battle?” Sage suggested.

Patch remembered Nemona’s advice, Fuck I forgot about the stir crazy! But I don’t want him to hurt my best friend’s Pokémon! As much as they wanted to back out, the anxious didn’t want their Lechonk to ravage any more then he already did.

…

The two friends rented out a battlefield near Cortondo’s Pokémon center. It was as big as a tennis court just like one’s at Nemona’s house.

The midday sun shined on both trainers. Basking them in a warm, golden light. It was the only comfort Patch had in that moment. In front of them a Shinx cub shuttering their sparks like a faulty lightbulb. Kombucha stood beside them with a structured fighting stance. It was already too late to back down.

“You ready?” Sage called out to the other side of the field.

“I…” Patch stammered, “I… suppose…” They could feel the weight of the battle trickle down their body in the form of goosebumps. 

Sage’s eyes had a glare of competitiveness, “Let’s start with tackle!” he pointed his cane at the hog. 

“Maur!” Zia growled.

Patch needed to act quickly, Shes not going to kill you, she’s your best friend! “Kombucha use Tackle!” they repeated Sage’s command out of anxiety. 

“Woiiiink!” Kombucha hollered. 

Both Pokémon charged and head bashed into each other with such force. The impact of the tackling made them stumble.

“Woink…” Kombucha moaned.

How’s my chance! Patch waved slyly to their hog, “Hey Kombucha, if you’re too tired we can stop!”

Kombucha shook off the pain, “Woink!” He exhaled dust out his snout. 

“Or… we can keep going…” They thought aloud. They began to scheme in their head. Nemona says an official trainer battle can only end when one Pokemon is exhausted. That can’t be too hard. I just need to tire him out.

Patch’s other Pokemon cheered from the sidelines, 

“Fuey-Fuey co!”

“Mah-reee!” 

“Agriaas!” 

“We’re just warming up,” Sage smirked, “Now use Thundershock!” She stamped her cane onto the ground.

Oh no! 

“Maur! Maur!” Zia hissed.

The Shinx’s colorful fur stood up, then a thin bolt of lightning surged out of her paws. 

Sage knows what, she’s doing! Sage knows what she’s doing! Patch continued to remind themselves.

Without so much of a word, Kombucha slid out of the way before he could be shocked. 

“Woink, Woink!” He turned to brush his back hooves against the soil. Somehow it turned to mud and Kombucha began splashing it at Zia.

“Maur! Meur!” The Shinx scampered to dodge.

“Hey Kombucha, I didn’t say you could attack again!” Patch shrieked.

As Zia ran for cover they were pelted with a large drop of mud on her backside. As she got up she jumped into Sage’s arms.

“Patch…” Sage cradled the Shinx in their arms, “You can tell your Lechonk to stop battling now… Zia surrendered, you won!”

I…won… a battle? It was actually that easly?! That can’t be right…

Amid the unexpected victory, Kombucha was still trashing mud left and right. Okay just going to recall him in his ball before someone gets hurt!

Patch pulled into their bag and got out the the first pokeball they felt for. They quickly aimed it at Kombucha despite him not keeping still. 

“Kombucha return!” Patch impulsively announced, trying to gain control of the situation.

Unbounce to them, Kombucha’s ball fully opened unleashing a blue light as if something was already inside.

“Shroo-Shroodle!” Arturo squeaked as he suddenly materialized.

Wait Arturo?! I didn’t mean to call you out! Patch examined the Pokeball and quickly noticed it had fuchsia streaks instead of black; It was Arturo’s Pokeball. Shit! 

“P-Patch…” Sage’s voice became uneasy, “is that a…Shroodle?”

Patch’s felt tears rolling down their bright red face. Grabbing Kombucha’s Pokeball, they recalled both normal types and shoved them deep into their bag.

They pulled their hat down in remorse, “I- I’m sorry!” With a heavy weight on their shoulder, Patch ran off before they could make any more mistakes. With Kapheria, Tamarind, and Flumpfy tailing behind them.

…

The overwhelmed trainer found a sheltered olive tree to cry under deep within the Cortondo orchard. As they wailed, Tamarind acted as a weighted blanket for his trainer’s lap. Kapheria gathered the finest olive branches to cheer them up. Yet Patch couldn’t help but sob.  

They pressed the backs of their knuckles against their closed eyes. At that point, it didn’t matter if Patch looked like a child they needed to let everything out. How could I mess up my relationship with my closest friend? How could I let out a poison-type Pokemon in front of her?! She’s afraid of poison types! 

The voice of their former best friend could be heard, “Patch! Patch where are you?!” 

No, they pleaded in their mind, Stay away Sage! I don’t need you to tell me how much I failed! 

Not long after, Sage appeared navigating through the endless rows of trees. His pale face was moist with sweat. 

“Geez, Patch… you couldn’t find a closer place to hide?” he huffed as she caught his breath. 

Patch tried to shield their vulnerable heart, “What are you doing here?” They purposefully looked away.

“Looking for you…” He took a moment to sit down next to them, “Why did you run off after our battle?”

“Because I-I… I” their voice shook, “I nearly killed your Pokemon! And I’ve never battled before!” 

Sage paused with a worried expression, Arceus only new what he was thinking after hearing that.

 She put her hand over her Patch’s, “Zia’s fine. She’s resting in her Pokeball.”

Whenever someone told Patch not to worry they couldn’t be convinced. The fact that what they feared most happened made them feel powerless.

“I’ve been training her to take some pretty nasty hits,” Sage clarified.

She’s just saying that so I stop crying. “But then I let out my Shroodle…” they winced.

“Oh…” Sage held herself tight, placing a hand on her hip “That's what that was about.”

Patch nodded, their lips puffy. There were so many tears they could taste the saltiness. 

Sage smiled reassuringly, “While I appreciate the thought, you don’t need to worry about having a Shroodle around me. I was stung so long ago I couldn’t even remember it.”

Patch wiped their eyes, “R-really?” She couldn’t mean that. 

“To be honest the reason I was so afraid of poison Pokémon in the first place was because everyone else made a big deal about it around me,” he reflected, “I was always the kid that everyone was concerned about… I didn’t even know I could do so much. Then I realized people like me are everywhere and they live incredible lives. I should have the one I always wanted, that’s why I’m a trainer.”

Patch looked at their friend in awe, the sun seeping through the branches outlined Sage in a golden glow.

“Pokémon and humans are kinda the same,” he grinned, “We take a lot of shit without realizing it!”

“Yeah,” Patch smiled back, taking in a nasally breath. They looked at their Fuecoco and how he took on two Tarontula’s with a single ember “I guess my Pokémon are stronger than I realized.”

They rubbed Tamarind’s white snout, his body was still warm despite sitting in the shade all that time. Maybe battling isn’t so bad. 

Just then a woman working the orchard approached the two trainers “Excuse me,” she said, “Is that weird looking Cyclizar one of your Pokemon?”

“She’s with me,” Patch answered.

“Well she’s damaging the trees!” spat with a disgusted look, “This orchard is our livelihood so you better have the bucks to pay for it.”

Patch’s heart rate shot back up, as they saw Kapheria’s trove of branches pile up in size. Almost as if the orchard had been struck with an abrupt thunderstorm. Arceus Kapheria! 

“Arrrg…” Kapheria dropped a thick branch out of her jaws looking very remorseful of what she had done.  

“Sage..” Patch winded their eyes back to their friend, “Does this tournament you mentioned have a cash prize?”

[ayyy-imma-ninja]

i am so sorry megmeg, i have an unfortunate hyperfixation on the fairy boys now. i will now proceed to ask way too many questions :3 some for moon: - does he ever summon lunar out of sheer boredom while sun's out (if he's awake at that time) - would he be mad at me if he knew i haven't slept properly in a few weeks (i have an entire scenario in my head abt this tbh-) - does he ever accept sweets from sun if he asks him to try something and for sun: - does he mind cats if they're nice and don't chase/attack him straight away (similar to juniper) and would he try to befriend one that may be injured/disabled in any way (ex. my little boy, pyro, is blind in his left eye, but an absolute sweetheart, and doesn't chase bugs or anything :D just don't get near him when his brother biscuit's around, biscuit's not so friendly sometimes) - would he ever try to befriend or just cheer up someone who looked lonely, regardless of age (exception being hunters, of course, probably due to unpredictability) - does he like black jellybeans (ik theyre not for everyone but theyre my favorite so i wanted to know) - *leaves candy outside their tree hollow for him* :3 im leaving my lunar ones for the qna, theyre already in the notes of that post lmao

ho goodness XD

Moon questions:

-Not really. Moon spends most of his time sleeping when Sun is away, so Lunar isn't needed.

-That would depend on why your sleep schedule has been poor.

-It takes a lot of coaxing for him to try something sweet, but he is willing to try it if Sun thinks it's good.

Sun questions:

-He doesn't mind them, but he is still weary around them at the start.

-Yes, but he is more comfortable revealing himself around young children.

-He does not like black jellybeans, or black licorice.

Beverage. How do you Beverage? Tea? coffee? choccy? juice? what kind? woter? do you add anything? temperature? Provide Details on your Beverage Consumption methods.

Used to be Huge into drinks but over time i sort of petered out on that front. I'm a room temp water from the tap kinda guy. Love minerals.

However even if I don't do fancy drinks anymore here's my drink opinions

Lemonade ; I don't like a lot of store brand lemonades anymore [too sweet] But! I do like making lemonade at home sometimes during the summer, from lemons I Didn't steal from the neighbors tree I Didn't steal them inswear. I don't add a lot of sugar and sometimes I add pepper as well! It's nice and refreshing esp with some ice in it.

Sodas; After big parties [new years for example] once we have them we tend to have a lot of leftover mixers and syrups/purees for alcoholic drinks so I just toss some into club soda or ginger ale and call it a day as well. Very fun! Other than that I'm really not into them big time, do like root beer though sometimes. And ginger ale by itself!

Milk; when I get sick I make some milk with turmeric and a little bit of sugar and pepper, it helps keep me pretty warm and tastes really good! Helps with the sickness too but being nice to drink is a plus when every other aryuvedic remedy is bitter as hell lol. I do like hot chocolate and it's probably the only thing I order from cafes if I order at all

coffees; I don't drink em. I'm a wuss, they're too bitter and caffeine doesn't work on me in the slightest lol. I do like coffee flavor in cakes and sweets though! It's just the bitterness that gets to me

Tea; I like tea, both chai and more English style tea though I don't have the second as often as I'd like. I like licorice and lemon tea :] not much to say because I love chai with a packet of biscuits and the feeling of having one in the morning is unparamount I swear.

Juices; I don't drink juice a lot anymore but I like orange juice with the pulp and apple juice a lot. Lychee is also very nice but it's so sweet. Mango also, guava is a lot milder which I can appreciate though. Every once in a while when I go to India cash and carry I get this lychee drink with little soaked basil seeds that have expanded. Sorta like a chia drink but slightly to the left! I love the textures

Typically I don't add anything to my drinks and have them warm [if they're hot drinks] to room temp. If it's a summer day i throw in ice, but that's about it. I live simply and happily..

I consume drinks by drinking them through my mouth, by the way. thank you very much .

[thecookiefoster]

Adopted anon here...all the cookies are getting along well. While I'm just relaxing in my chair, the cookies are all in my lap, doing their own thing. Lilac is just chilling out, affogato keeps nuzzling me and just giving me lots of attention, licorice is chatting with red velvet while he is just making biscuits on my leg...ngl it tickles and I'm trying not to giggle.

SCREAMING CRYING SOBBING THEY'RE SO ADORABLE
