Behold, lazy refs for Nightlight and Daybreaks parents: Sunspot and Moonflower.

Sun got a new color design based off of Comet Moths and I just had to include the wifey, Moon (rest in piece 😔) who's based off of Luna motha. Didn't feel like making new line art so pulled a Hasbro move and just did a recolor lmfao

[toxicityriot]

Giggling. I've been working on a few

Sunspot and Moonflower are mechanical beings from a distant "cousin" planet from Cybertron called Avizadus, which was unfortunately overtaken and overruled by Megatron during the Great Cybertronian war in an event dubbed "The Scorching" as Avizadus was rich was much needed resources. The Avi inhabitants refused to let outsiders on their world, including Autobots, as they wanted no part in the Cybertronian War. Those who did not flee or were killed in the massacre were taking in by Decepticon forces. Some as lowly servants, others forced to be soliders. They're tall creatures of metal with long narrow strong tails, Bird like legs, full face glass visors, and relatively weak armor compared to an average Cybertronian. They sport an ALT mode similar to the Ornithopters from Dune and mainly use their alts for long distance travel. Avis as a species are known for their pacifist natures and their spiritual beliefs to keep ones face/eyes concealed from others. Sun and Moon have two children: Nightlight and Daybreak. Unfortunately during an escape attempt, Moonflower was murdered by an old friend of her and Sunspot, Snowdrift. Snowdrift became a Fiercely loyal Decepticon after having struggled with the "lazy" nature of his colony's council when it came to giving away their territory to their rival colonies. After Snow had confessed to Sun about killing their mate, Sun went forward with finishing Moon's plan to escape to freedom. Unfortunately in the canon route, Sunspot had sacrificed themselves to buy the Autobots some time to get Nightlight's unhatched egg to safety and was executed. In the "good ending spinoff", Sunspot escaped safley and has been reunited with Night and Day, continuing to raise the two away from the war.

Midnight Lily love!!

Moonflower Cookie misses her mom, as Midnight Lily is the most normal among the Neo-Beasts, she secretly sneaks off to visit her. Who can blame her? She's not an adult but still a mere child.

She tries understanding why Midnight Lily went down this path, while she doesn't fully understand and it may confuse her at times. She feels the safest in her kingdom and her arms. While its unknown why she does not move to her mothers kingdom. While she has given Moonflower some very harsh words on this subject, but she truly cannot stop her from running around.

I also included a doodle design as a little "what if" she was a member of Midnight Lilys kingdom. Otherwise, she wears a little thing (a black lily w/ two golden colored chains) when she visits. But these arrangements may change in the future...

@cuppajj

She needs more love!! at least shes somewhat normal?

Not sure what kind of symbolism I am gonna do with these two. Unlike the other neo-beasts, she does not hate her at all. Also, Insecure family core

Another double oc feature and #draweverythingjune2024 entry for day 17! This is Celeste Moonflower, a half Galazonian half…well we aren’t sure. She tends to be a bit calmer and less anxious than most Galazonians, being a healer and often comforts those in distress.

here's the bordered version, you can now turn him into a sticker, if you can figure out how to do it (i have no clue how to do it myself good luck)

[darknoverse]

BLACKSPACE KIKI AND BLOODIE

(BLOODIE is a basil oc from an AU I share w/ my bestie, named MOONFLOWER AU, it's basically an shattered omori, but made of blood, Newtonian blood to be more specific, and kiki is made by @cookikiixp, sorry for the tag tho-)

I love them.

[snail-noodle]

Mystic Flour Cookie: We will all eventually die. Free yourself from being baked and crumbled.

Moonflower Cookie: *frail and sometimes bedridden*

Mystic Flour Cookie: Find the best medicines for her and keep her alive. She's more precious than life itself.

[snowleopardcrk]

more symbolism!!!

ah yes, more Midnight Lily, a silverbell cameo and two Moonflower doodles. AU by @cuppajj

For Moonflowers story, we have her main conflict with her father, Saint Vanilla Cookie. But what about Midnight Lily Cookie, her mother? To give a little context for whats coming up, Moonflowers story theming around the Saint where Moonflower symbolizes the Moon, which includes the Solar Eclipse to contrast the Saints light themed imagery. Plus Moonflowers additional and more religious theming being based on the Spirit of Apostasy.

It is abundantly clear that Midnight Lily is an enabler of the other Neo Beasts, while to some extent understandable as she is the weakest of the Neo Beasts (she has long crossed the line of it being acceptable).

To compliment well with the general religious theming, I did additional research into the role of a mother in the lens of the Bible. 'the mother is one who "binds" the family together, holding them together individually and collectively through her love and actions' Despite how broken the family is, the only remaining connection that Moonflower has with the Saint IS Midnight Lily. And in return, she does care for her daughter and the Saint at some level. Yet, she does nothing to genuinely mend what has been broken (no one is, Moonflower is afraid of her father and the Saint is so delusional that he believes that this is the best course of action to save everyone). This fits her pattern of enabling and being generally passive to the world around her, for the most part.

Another aspect that I have neglected to mention is her slow-burn of a plan, she seeks by the end to have the others at least playing by her rules, but also not liking when her children do things she does not like. This is now territory where I do a lot of guess work and personal thoughts n' research so this is very much subject to change if anymore gets revealed.

How I have understood the few tidbits we get about the Beast of Sovereignty, she is an enabler and insecure about being the weakest. And I think her insecurity in some way, even if unintentional may reflect on her relationships where she is the one in power. In general, she is fine with her kids, generally passive until they get too unruly. At that point, she will remind them with harsh words who the mother is. I'd like to note quickly, she will NEVER get physical. She only uses WORDS. It is also important to note that she does wish for her child to understand where she is coming from. She is an enabler because she holds little power over the beasts, but in dynamics where she is the one in power, this side vanishes for the most part. Despite valuing sovereignty I believe she still wants to retain some level of control so Cookies don't do things she does not like. This is generally in line with how leadership generally operate, they don't care when you're doing smth positive, but when it turns negative, that's when it starts turning sour.

As for the actual arc of Midnight Lily and Moonflower, I have a general framing but it is difficult to make something as substantial as the one she has with Saint Vanilla. Gotta wait until I get more lore and story for the gal. But in short, it is a conflict of the two trying to make each other understand their respective sides. With Moonflower trying to save her mother, her only remaining parental figure from being a beast- while Midnight Lily seeks to make Moonflower truly understand her side and hopefully have Moonflower join her permanently.

Heres other tidbits for Moonflower and her relationship with the Creme Republic. For her ventures to the Silver Kingdom are actually secret. She is a very powerful and talented magic user (similar to her parents), so her travelling long distances quickly is very possible. Moonflower is already an outcast in the Republic, it is well known who her parents are. And Cookies keep their distance, there are very few Cookies who come and check in her. Its mostly some scientists who are researching the neo beasts (espresso, maybe, depends on his condition in this au), Clotted Cream Cookie, GingerBrave, Financer (sort of, she tags along the Consul) and depending on the direction of the story, Madelaine Cookie(I will start really brewing something here once more stuff comes out~). She stays isolated in her lab in the undercity, she never comes out, and when she does, she hides her face and just retrieves things like food or research material. It is normal for her to not talk with anyone for well over a week with nothing but a single lost Raisin Crow to keep her company. I'd like to note that this raisin crow is now an albino, and Black Raisin tasked Moonflower to take care of it since it was bullied and ousted by the other raisin crows (I took inspo from the myth, but it is generally agreed that white color corvids are subordinate to the colored ones).

But she is also an outcast in the silver kingdom, despite being Midnight Lilys kid (its a well known fact), she has gotten into disagreements with their monarch and isn't the upmost loyal member- she has a strong stigma around her. Silverbell Cookie does take pity on Moonflower.

That's all for now. I'm gonna lay down, I've done so much research...I silently weep at the thought of fully showing the complexity of the three in full force.

“She Still Is.” Moonflower Fic

Under the cut is a small Moonflower fic I wrote about Macaque taking Suki under the falls to see the ruins of the old stone palace, with a bonus sketch of the last moment by the pookie @aleiiii 💜

Enjoy!

“Macaque..Are we supposed to be here?” Suki asks as they walk in through the tunnel, leading to the ruins of the old stone palace.

The shadow monkey shrugs. “Probably not.” He yawned as he lead her in.

“This place looks so old..like really old..this Wukong’s old place?” She blinks.

“Yeah sorta kinda..” It was lore anyone would know about the monkey king had they just known that story, but it wasn’t just his home..it was their home. Not that she would have remembered.

“These stones are so smooth.” Suki whispered to herself, feeling the texture of the broken slabs of stone that once rose dozens of feet to sculpt high walls.

“Hm yeah they were.” Macaque shrugs.

Why did you bring her here you idiot!? If Wukong comes around you two are gonna fight and she’s gonna get upset. he thought to himself as he wondered around, but he couldn’t sense Wukong anywhere around here thankfully.

Suki continued to wander further into the structure that had not yet collapse.

“Hey wait up!” Macaque huffed as she wandered further.

“Oh my..” She whispered as she looked over the walls with faded murals.

“Oh..” Macaque mumbled to himself. This room.

Suki stopped at a small section of wall that was mostly covered in vines that she had to pull away to see what was there. “…Oh wow..she’s beautiful.” She whispered as she gazed at the portrait before her.

Macaque glanced over to where she had gone and he let out a soft sigh. The mural she was staring at was her..or at least what used to be her.

“Isn’t she beautiful..?” Suki glanced back to Macaque with a sparkling smile and a wag of her tail.

“Yeah..She was.” His gaze softened to her as he got closer to look at the mural, seeing how the colors had faded with weathering and sunlight. His gaze rested on her, marveling at the mural of her past self.

She still is. he smiled to himself.
