#puree pillar

[paras1t1c-squ1dd]

Hi guys! Since it won the poll here's my REAL first ever Pizza tower au! It's more of a fan project since they don't really look like their Pizza Tower counterparts but :3c

Let me introduce you to.........

Drum roll.....

...

..

.

PUREE PILLAR!!

I've waited so long to show this AU to you guys I'm so excited!!!!!

Puree Pillar goes along with the usual pizza tower lore, owner of a business gets threatened by a giant sentient piece of food that wants to blow up their building yada yada yada....

BUT‼️‼️

The main character ain't no ordinary peppino no siree

Instead, they're basically entirely different!! They look... Nothing alike probably.

Let me introduce you to the characters!!

•◌•◌•◌•◌•◌•◌•◌•★•◌•◌•◌•◌•◌•◌•◌•

Susie! (Peppino) : Susie is a not-so-young (he's old as shit) woman running a small beverage shop called Susie's Smoothies! (You will never guess what she sells. /j) Yeah, he has a smoking addiction she can't get rid of, but that doesn't stop her from kicking ass!!!!! (He is very depressed) AND on top of that!! She's a war veteran!! Crazy right!! She had a group of 3 other friends that had passed away during the war. Poor Susie can't catch a break... But on a lighter note, she rides a motorcycle! Woah!!

Next up we have..

Mia!! (Gustavo) : Mia is Susie's best friend and has been since they were wee little children! How adorable!! They've been with Susie through thick and thin, always helping each other out! (But Mia is not in fact, a war veteran like Susie.) She works with Susie and helps her run the shop. They care a lot about each other!! And her giant pet hedgehog Pebble!! :3c

(God this is getting long)

Berry! (The Noise) : Berry is a circus performer along with his girlfriend Drupe! Him and Susie are rivals, always getting into fights those two.. Berry is his stage name! What's his real name you say? I have no fucking clue

Drupe! (Noisette) : As stated before, Drupe is Berry's girlfriend! She runs her own little bakery somewhere in the pillar! (Or well, tower)

The Assailant. (The Vigilante) : He's a sentient glop of smoothie that anyone who dares to break the law must answer to! He's quite a fancy fella, but if you break a law.. Pray! Cause your ass MIGHT die!!! And he thinks he's a real human being! What a weirdo (/j)!!

DJ Apple! (Pepperman): DJ here is quite a cool guy! He makes sick beats that everyone enjoys! So much so they might break a hip from dancing too hard! Where did he get that chunk bit out of him? Why is his hand missing? ..... Who knows! But he still manages to make some good music!

Fake Susie! (Fake Peppino) : Whatever this thing is, it's creepy! How did it get in here! Why does she look so much like Susie? It's weird!! It's entirely made of smoothie, kinda like The Assilent! But why is she not as intelligent as him? Sometimes she can be found in vents! How the fuck did he get in there get him out

(I'm pretty sure you know what the purpose of the ingredients ((toppins)) are so I won't write about them)

Mr Trick! (Mr Stick) : Mr Trick here is a scammer!! Watch out!! He's very greedy, and would choose money over anything!

Nate! (Snick) : It's him!!

Orange Head... (Pizza Head) : He's the big bad of the pillar! The one who started it all! Boy I hate this guy! He knows... Strangely a lot about Susie... I wonder why!

Orange Face... (Pizza face) : He's a giant floating hunk of junk made by Orange Head! It's only that big so he can fit his fat ass inside!! Orange face chases Susie out of the levels once the timer reaches 0 so she can't get out! But Susie is usually too fast for him.

And last but not least...

Jerald! (Gerome) : He's the janitor/plumber of the pillar, the only one that has the key to special rooms!

GOD THAT WAS A LOT

anywaysss I hope you guys will enjoy this au as much as I do! Which is a lot!! This is basically my main au since I've been focusing on it a lot lately

But yeah!!! Holy shit!!! I can finally share this!!

[puree-pillar]

What if I told you guys there was already a swap/sugary spire(?)-ish variant of susie

Do you guys get to see her?

No.

(Not yet at least)

POCHI STOP YOU’RE TOO POWERFUL!!!

it’s so fucking beautiful. I never thought of it before but of course Pochi is an unstoppably good kiara artist. Of course she’s got the market cornered on sexy scary onee-sans.

I saw the Northern Lights and I’m having an extreme emotional reaction excuse me

[applepie-enthusiast]

I know that with demons running on and about everywhere every night, plus their duties and responsibilities even on day time, they won't have time for this but

[juliart-107]

the fact that juanaflippa and gegg have similar-looking aboveground memorials is weirdly poetic; when juanaflippa died q! charlie lost a part of himself mentally, and when gegg died q! charlie lost a part of himself physically.

what's left? a broken (egg)shell of a man.

I wanted to draw some puree pillar stuff over pizza tower things and I found a pizza tower font so I'm using that too

She's fucking dead

Based off this technical difficulty screen 👇👇

I might do more this was fun to draw

[birbwell]

love that there are characters in PotE who have lived or are living interesting lives but we just never get to see them. i would love to see the Anarchy political drama with Francis going back and forth and trying to thwart Empress Maud actually. or Catface fighting in the war? switching from Maud's side to Stephen's? i am so willing to bet he has more stories in his belt than just the siege well story. i need to see their lives NOW

How do you feel knowing you converted most of the welcome community to Howdy lovers

3. “Do you think it would be helpful if we were cuddling?” with team guilded vale or Eder/Gaura.

Thank you, Anon 💖 have some Edér x Watcher, Seeker, Slayer, Survivor desert valley whatever

Word count: about 1250 words

A small, red spark shone at the end of the valley. Night was falling and with the setting sun, came a chill that felt like the maw of a beast thanks to the rising winds. Gaura couldn't be bothered by it though. Her worries lied elsewhere. She and her companions entered the desert valley on Kazuwari, not quite sure how they would be tested, but ready for anything that the Surviving Face could throw at them. They didn't expect that the valley and their own weaknesses were the enemy they had to face. In a lot of ways, the Watcher was reminded of the Living Lands. Except her homeland never was as unfair to her as this place was.

She was never denied of her chants.

Gaura found out there was no ether to command, no memories to call out to, no remnants of the past to connect to, relatively early, during the first night they spent in the valley. They entered a cave and Aloth stuck close to her, close enough to rely on the light of her flames. But it wasn't enough. He hit his head as he fell and when the Watcher tried to heal him... her voice did nothing. The valley was devoid of anything that could recognize the melodies she sung. She was powerless to help him. And then the valley took more and more of her companions while she could only grant them feeble attempts at helping them, until...

'It's getting pretty chilly.' Edér's hand on the Watcher's back snapped her out of her musings. He was the only one left by her side.

'Right,' Gaura blinked a few times, urging herself to focus. 'We could set up a campfire if that helps.'

'Or...' he rubbed her back soothingly, 'you can come to bed with me.'

'And who's going to keep watch?'

'Whoever stays awake longer, I suppose,' the farmer shrugged. 'I... I ain't feeling all that sleepy, not going to lie.'

Gaura didn't answer at first. She merely watched her lover as he did his best to hide his own worries and his own exhaustion. There was a plea in his eyes and he smiled at her encouragingly. The Watcher, however, could only focus on his lips that grew so dry, the skin began to crack on them. Her heart sank and she looked away.

'Do you think it would help if we cuddled? I need you rested tomorrow,' she said as she grabbed her pack and looked for her waterskin in it. To her disappointment it didn't have as much water in it as she hoped. Still, she offered it, her eyes begging him to take it. He let out a small, bitter chuckle but took it. He took a sip before he handed the waterskin back to her.

'Well, being nice and warm ain't gonna hurt,' he said as he made his way to the bedrolls he lined up right next to one another. 'Sorry, I... I didn't do that magic thing that Aloth does to the pillows.'

At the mention of the wizard's name, Edér's smile faltered. He let out a barely audible sigh, hoping that the Watcher wouldn't notice, but she was watching him intently, focusing on any sign of distress that he might fail to hide.

'It wouldn't have worked anyway. Just like I couldn't heal Aloth.' She moved to the bedrolls as well, and gently pushed against Edér, urging him to move aside. He obliged, allowing her to place the bedrolls on top of one another, creating a thicker and warmer surface for him to lie on. She didn't pay mind to the veteran watching her every move that carried nothing but tension and frustration.

'He walked off worse,' he tried to calm her, but his voice rang hollow as if he couldn't even convince himself.

Gaura paused and glanced at him. They shared a moment of silent agreement. They were both worried for the wizard. They were both holding on to hope for him. The Watcher then moved to sit against a rock wall and stretched her legs next to the bedrolls, allowing Edér to lie down and rest against her like he wanted to. He, however, grabbed her by the ankle and pulled her on the bedrolls, drawing a surprised gasp out of her. His lips curled to a relieved smile as he climbed on top of her, lightly pressing against her thighs. The Watcher parted them for him, only to receive a quick kiss as thanks before Edér lied down and rested his head on her chest. The Watcher squirmed a little under him, trying to get comfortable with the upper half of her body against the dusty ground and the farmer helped her by putting a pillow under her waist.

'You think you can rest this way?' She asked once they both lied still.

'I'll rest when I know you've calmed down.'

Gaura sighed. She knew she couldn't afford shedding tears over mistakes she made when she still had someone to protect.

'I'll try my best.'

Edér nodded. 'Good. We're close. We can finish this soon. And then we'll go back to the Crucible and we take one really long nap.'

'Before we enter the fray again.'

'Yeah,' he scoffed, 'should've ditched this place when they asked for your blood.'

Gaura tightened her hold around him. In that very moment, the prospect of leaving for good felt too tempting. And the guilt of not doing so sooner felt almost suffocating.

'You're right. We really should have.'

Edér lifted himself at the sadness in her voice. 'Hey,' he said looking up at her, 'don't let it gnaw at you now.'

'I can't help it, Edér,' she shook her head and closed her eyes, stifling whatever tear intended to form in their corners. 'The more I think on it, the less I trust myself to... to keep you safe.' She felt a broad palm against her cheek, but she wasn't ready to open her eyes just yet.

'You're taking real good care of me right now.'

'But without my chants-' before she could finish the hand on her face slid to her mouth, turning the rest of her sentence to a single muffled and offended note.

'Without your chants you can still do a whole lot. Besides, I can take care of myself. And I can take care of you too. I did promise you that, remember?' He removed his hand from Gaura's mouth. 'Look at me.'

The Watcher hesitantly opened her eyes, only to be met with a warm gaze that reminded her of late summers in the Dyrwood and lush peaceful fields in the Living Lands.

'You came here because no one else can figure out what's going on here,' Edér reminded her, 'you're gonna figure out how to help us too. I trust you.'

The Watcher didn't answer at first. Edér left a kiss on her cheek trying to get her to speak again. Her throat felt suddenly very dry.

'Alright. I'll... I'll keep it in mind,' she forced the words out of herself. 'I'll finish this soon, I promise. But you better be by my side when I do.'

Edér gave her a nod. He gave her one last kiss, that felt too coarse to comfort and tasted vaguely of blood, then lied down holding her once again. He fell asleep listening to her heartbeat while she held on to him like a lifeline.
