poly hydrangea cookie & snake fruit cookie + dragon s/o smut hcs ; 18+
Tumblr media
requested by ; 🐜 anon (18/06/23)
fandom(s) ; cookie run
fandom masterlist(s) ; hub | specific
character(s) ; hydrangea cookie, snake fruit cookie
outline ; “from my aforementioned list (if Tumblr didnt eat the ask of me talking about it)
Snake Fruit and Hydrangea poly smut + relationship hcs :3
maybe a dragon reader? dosent have to be tho
i just like the idea of reader just... stealing the dragon's main 'worshipers' or whatever
- 🐜”
warning(s) ; sexually explicit content, power difference/power imbalance, idolisation of reader, dragon!reader
minors and ageless blogs will be blocked
in terms of base roles: hydrangea is a service submissive and snake fruit is a versatile switch (bratty sub and mean dom)
though due to the fact that we’re assuming a dragon reader, both of the cookies involved would default to a submissive role automatically
hydrangea lives to please and serve and can easily get off on pleasuring someone else — whether that’s you (as an act of submission) or snake fruit (as a sort of display or foreplay at your discretion)
she loves going down on you and can happily do so for hours: closing her eyes, moaning against your sex and making a complete mess of her face and neck and you as she gets fully into the moment — begging you to let her continue if you pull her away
prefers praise and lighter kinks over anything else and will tear up and get upset if you punish her — but she’ll accept it regardless
if you call her ‘good girl’, ‘good pet’ or ‘good mortal’ (or anything like that) then she’ll tear up and moan/whimper in approval
will gladly humiliate herself if it’s for you — exposing herself, accepting degradation or grinding on your thigh/boot/etc. to show how aroused she is
extremely sexually sensitive and is much more likely to cry or sob and get overstimulated
will fluster if she notices any claw/bite marks on her body after the fact
snake fruit, meanwhile, is less concerned with pleasing you and will bait you into putting them in their place with bratty behaviour
it tends to frequent phrases like ‘make me’ or ‘are you going to punisssssh me?’
big into pain play and rough sex — including spanking, edging, ruined orgasms and the like
if you leave any marks on their body then they’ll show them off with pride
would probably try and tease/edge you if it goes down on you — goading you into forcing them to get you off properly or punish them outright
not sexually sensitive but will get vocal if you lean into their masochistic side
if you call them ‘disobedient’ or ‘brat’ then they won’t fight it, leaning into their new role with pride and vigour and turning into a complete mess when you tame them
it’s a sadomasochist and this works excellently with hydrangea’s masochistic side when you encourage them to play with each other — they’ll lean into rough play and make her as vocal and wet as possible whilst showing all of it off to you and talking about her like she’s not even there
both of your lovers will lean into your power difference heavily during play and, whether immediately or after some fake fighting, always do whatever you want as they’re still incredibly loyal to you
whether it’s sitting back, bound, watching you pleasure yourself or another worshipper as punishment for disobedience
whether it’s pleasuring each other under your supervision, complying with your instructions and making a mess of each other
whether it’s making love to you independently or together, relenting to your experienced touch and embracing the difference in strength that comes with a relationship such as yours — between a dragon and two mortals
but it works for you all and none of you were going to complain

Tumblr media
Greetings! I am a slightly new Cookie Run writer, here to totally not dive into my rarepair…
Tumblr media
I cannot organize things for shit (sorry btw)
Here’s what I will do!
Headcanons
Cookie x Reader
Platonic works
The Dragons x Reader (OvenBreak and Kingdom)
Canon x Canon (depends on what character)
one-shots (iffy but ig)
Yandere (also depends what character)
Angst! Yum yum
Npcs (Like the other elders or whatever)
What I will NOT do :D
Nsfw (Not used to writing smut, but this might change in the future! Iffy on smut alphabets, but that may be more of a possibility then any list of hcs or oneshots)
Self-aware (it gets confusing sometimes…)
Very vague request (I get confused easily 😢)
Beast x Ancient (I’m so sorry I see the Beasts like ancestors to the Ancients…)
Oc x Cookie (I don’t want it to seem more ooc then it is-)
Most OvenBreak Cookies (Because I don’t play OvenBreak often and I haven’t really analyzed the other characters as much as I have the Dragons or Snake Fruit and Hydrangea)
Child x Adult or any proship like that (Pretty please DNI if you do support this, and I’ll stay in my own lane as well!)
Purple Yam Cookie. Idk why I just fucking hate him- I’m sorry Purple Yam simps…he’s just too loud.
Ships I will/won’t write

Call me Diabolo.
This is a side blog and there is a 99% chance I will not follow back.
Unabashedly edgy cringe-inducing they/them bitch. More caustic than toxic in that I'm not going to bite you unless you try to bite me first. To spell it out for you: if you find some way to send me IRL gore, or if you describe in detail some strange murder fantasy you have about me, I will respond in kind. It's only fair.
The only exceptions to this are stupid brats interacting in spite of my "minors dni," who will be blocked.
To clarify I mean interactions such as DMs and other private sources of communication. I don't give a shit if some kid likes/reblogs or drops a comment on a post. Public communication/interaction is whatever. Just don't go reblogging my naughty posts if you're like, 13. You shouldn't even be able to see them, I use community labels.
My opinions and actions are my own and do not reflect any broader community I happen to fall into. The people in them are usually much nicer than me, so fuck off if you want to try using me as some kind of an example in your idiotic smear campaign against this-or-that.
General content warnings if I decide to actively utilize this blog for (fictional) sexual content, sadism, masochism, incest, noncon, dubcon, abuse, necro, eroticized gore.
What you won't find here are lolisho or filth kinks, those are not my cup of tea.
Kink-friendly. Para-neutral. Obviously proship. Might drugpost now and then if I'm high or drunk.
My anti-harassment stance only extends as far as fiction. TERFs, reich-wingers, nazis, and other such goons deserve net zero peace and naught else but high-velocity sleeping pills.
If any of this bothers you, the block button is free use.
Ships You'll Find Here

dragon s/o hcs ; poly hydrangea & snake fruit
Tumblr media
requested by ; 🐜 anon (18/06/23)
fandom(s) ; cookie run
fandom masterlist(s) ; hub | specific
character(s) ; hydrangea cookie, snake fruit cookie
outline ; “from my aforementioned list (if Tumblr didnt eat the ask of me talking about it)
Snake Fruit and Hydrangea poly smut + relationship hcs :3
maybe a dragon reader? dosent have to be tho
i just like the idea of reader just... stealing the dragon's main 'worshipers' or whatever
- 🐜”
warning(s) ; power difference/power imbalance, worship of reader
drawing each of your partners away from their respective lords would take different courses of action because the nature of their devotion is different
snake fruit would be pretty easy to convince as the only thing fuelling their servitude is the chance of ascension, which you could also offer
hydrangea, meanwhile, is loyal to a fault and does anything she can for her dragon because she wants to — so you’d need to put in immense effort to draw her away
of course both of them adore you, they are courting you after all, they just need a bit of a push to abandon what they’re used to and fully devote themselves to you
but once you succeed, this relationship would be fantastic for a dragon like yourself
they wait on you hand and foot: cooking you food, massaging the knots out of your muscles, defending you from dissenters and fluffing your pillows
just doing anything and everything they can to ensure your comfort — both out of a want to keep you comfortable as your partners and out of an underlying desire to serve you based on your status as a dragon
normally you would just accept the worship of lower beings without complaint, but as these are individuals you do actually care about you return the favour where possible
helping hydrangea style her hair and having her dressed in the most comfortable, intricate robes that money can afford
advising snake fruit in its dream of becoming a dragon by speaking of your experiences and talking to your kin to try and locate whatever information on the process you can
calling them your mortals, your treasures and your precious little mates
hydrangea calling you ‘my love’ and ‘my dear’
snake fruit calling you ‘my liege’ and ‘my dragon’ — spoken with more reverence and affection than they ever held for longan
you covering them and drowning them in all of the luxuries that your status afforded you
curling your body around them as you rest, only falling asleep once you were certain that they were safe and comfortable
threatening any and all dragons that came near your mates or your territory — only soothed by snake fruit’s reassurances and hydrangea’s gentle touches
sharing stories of your long life on quiet evenings, snake fruit sat across from you with a notepad they don’t scribble on as much as they should whilst hydrangea hangs off of your arm or lays across your lap
hydrangea is much more physically affectionate and, if you let her, she’ll pretty much always be touching you somehow
snake fruit, meanwhile, shows their care through quality time — being in the same space as you as you do your own things, occasionally checking to make sure you’re okay before returning their attentions to their research
they both do love you dearly but it comes in different forms: hydrangea adores you as a partner but she also reveres you as an idol, snake fruit cares for you as a spouse and sees you as a mentor — an example of who they want to be — and treat you accordingly
this lends itself to a distinct power dynamic but it’s nothing you haven’t experienced in the past so none of you are bothered by it

Before settlers crossed the Mississippi River and literally ran for 160-acre plots in one of several Oklahoma land runs in the late 1800s, much of the territory’s western half was covered in mixed prairie grasses.  In what became Oklahoma Territory, the Osage, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Kiowa, Comanche and Apache tribes hunted bison and other animals. Oklahoma’s diverse landscape, including its glorious grasses, made such hunting possible because prairie and forest plants provided cover and forage for animals like bison, elk, bear, rabbits, squirrels, turkeys, and white-tailed deer. On the eastern side of Indian Territory, the land was wooded with blackjack oaks, eastern cottonwoods, post and pin oaks, and many other tree species. Being rocky and hard to develop, much of it is still very wooded today.
1892 Map of Oklahoma and Indian Territories courtesy of the Library of Congress.
I live at the junction between the prairie and the forest in what is now Logan County, a green section at the center of the map above. Each day, I wake up grateful that I own 7.5 acres of land where I continue to work in a garden that’s become a pollinator and bird habitat. Lizards, snakes and frogs like it too. It’s always a work in progress, and that’s what makes gardening such a fascinating hobby. You never run out of things to learn.
And, one thing I’ve learned over the last ten years is that glorious grasses help me build my own little corner of the prairie.
[Click on photos in the galleries to make them larger.]
Grasses and other plants in my garden midsummer of 2013. It looks similar now, but the chairs are painted purple. I could no longer find French blue paint.
Pennisetum purpureum ‘Fireworks’ with Phlox paniculata ‘Bright Eyes’ behind. See how great they go with my purple chairs?
Tallgrass prairie once covered 14 states throughout the central part of the United States.  On November 12, 1996, the Nature Conservancy purchased the Chapman-Barnard Ranch covering 29,000 acres near Pawhuska, Oklahoma. This purchase helped form what is now the 39,650 acres of the Joseph H. Williams Tallgrass Prairie Preserve near Pawhuska, Oklahoma, once part of the Cherokee Outlet and the Osage lands in the above map and stretching into southern Kansas.
Bill and I have visited the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve numerous times in various seasons. It is a source of respite and inspiration to me in my own garden. I especially notice this In late summer and early fall. Grasses that have been providing background support for the rest of our landscape now take center stage. Ornamental grasses are at their full height and sport fully-formed seedheads. The prairie is a thing of true beauty in any season, but in fall, it is magical. Ornamental grasses breathe life into a garden. Let them breathe life into yours.
Good old Miscanthus sinensis, maiden grass in my garden. It is next to Blush Knockout rose. Although M. sinensis is invasive in some parts of the U.S., it has never moved from this spot in my garden. I also use ‘Adagio’ in another spot.
How can you replicate some of the tallgrass prairie for your home? One way is by strategically planting grasses. Although the Great American Prairie is composed of a multitude of plants, grasses are its living backbone providing structure for three seasons out of the year. The only time ornamental grasses don’t look good is in late winter/early spring when just cut back. However, the plants surrounding them will shelter grasses until they begin to grow. Grasses are relatively unobtrusive unless you have an entire row of a particular grass as I do with my pink muhly grass.
Muhlenbergia capillaris ‘Lenca’ Regal Mist, pink muhly grass, with Salvia leucantha, Mexican bush sage peeking through.
Even then, the grasses don’t look bad. They just don’t look like anything.
Bouteloua gracilis ‘Blonde Ambition’ blue grama grass. I grow it in pure gravel, and only water it occasionally in summer.
Many varieties of grass are simple to grow. In fact, in some climates, they can be invasive, but we haven’t seen that in Oklahoma. You can grow many by seed, or by purchasing container grown plants in the spring or fall. Although I have grown some by seed, I prefer to buy plants to get things more quickly established. Some of the ones I grow are native. Others are not. I tend to choose grasses based upon what I need in a particular space. I then surround them with other prairie plants attractive to pollinators and birds. Although I still love roses and grow them, Rose Rosette Disease wiped out many of my rose shrubs. I will never plant a rose in the same spot for a variety of reasons, and I’ve found grasses are wonderful for rose replacement although I’ve also planted numerous fruiting shrubs for the birds too.
Grasses require some garden work, but it isn’t onerous.
Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Ginger Love’ is a dwarf fountain grass that I love more than ‘Hameln,’ although I grow ‘Hameln’ too.
Grasses come is many different heights. Among the shortest are Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Hameln’ and ‘Ginger Love’ dwarf fountain grasses. I love these small grasses for the front of the garden bed. In fact, I bought two more one-gallon containers of ‘Hameln,’ and I’ve planted them in the front of the garage border. Schizachyrium scoparium ‘Standing Ovation’ is a shorter little bluestem grass. I have trouble growing bluestem grasses, tall or small, in my garden probably because I water more than they like. I use drip irrigation, but I also have years like this one where Oklahoma received tons of rain. Bluestem grasses do not like too much rain or enriched soils. I have both at various times. I also can’t grow Festuca glauca ‘Elijah Blue’ fescue.
No one can grow everything, and that’s okay.
Panicum virgatum ‘Northwind’ up close. See all those shades of yellow?
P. virgatum ‘Northwind’ turning bright yellow.
P. virgatum ‘Heavy Metal’ with a crapemyrtle behind.
I have tremendous success with the native switchgrasses, and I grow several from tall ‘Northwind’ to the shorter ‘Heavy Metal’ and ‘Cheyenne Skies.’ At eight or nine feet, ‘Cloud Nine’ is one of the tallest switchgrasses available. At the present time, panicums are probably my favorite grasses. They’ve performed so well in the garden that I’ve been able to split them several times. All of the switchgrasses turn beautiful colors in the fall with some being more yellow and others more purple. They are perennial.
Rosa ‘September Song’ with P. virgatum ‘Cheyenne Skies’ behind it.
Speaking of purple grasses, for pure theater, I don’t think you can beat Pennisetum purpureum ‘Fireworks.’ I’ve grown this grass in pots on the deck and in the borders for years. I especially love it with coleus and Phlox paniculata ‘Bright Eyes.’ Such a beautiful combination. Purple fountain grass is not perennial in Zone 7, but also check out ‘Princess Caroline’ for a large focal point.
Pennisetum purpureum ‘Fireworks’ with Phlox paniculata ‘Bright Eyes’ behind. See how great they go with my purple chairs?
Pennisetum purpureum with purple heart and coleus at Bustani Plant Farm.
Another view of ‘Campfire’ coleus and purple fountain grass in the terraces. The trees are still small, but they will get bigger each year eventually providing windbreaks and shade.
The very gorgeous Pennisetum ‘Princess Caroline’ is a showstopper next to Hibiscus ‘Maple Sugar’ and Senorita Blanca® cleome.
Dramatic dark grass at OSU Botanical Gardens. Might be ‘Princess Caroline’ or Vertigo.
If you want a nice tall grass with large plumes, consider Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Overdam,’ a variegated selection. If you can’t find ‘Overdam,’ try ‘Karl Foerster.’ I’m growing it along a fenced border in the back garden as a kind of screen. It’s going to take a while to fill in. I like larger grass clumps at the edge of my gardens because they dissuade deer from entering the space. They don’t like the swishing noise or that they cannot see.

  Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Overdam.’ In front of the grass is Penstemon smallii ‘Violet Dusk.’ 
I mustn’t forget Mexican feather grass either. Although it is invasive in some climates, it is well-behaved here. I do have to replant it periodically because it tries to die out. I love how the plumes swish with the wind. Is there anything better?
Mexican feather grass and other plants, native and non-native make up a the palette used by Piet Oudolf.
Phlox divaricata, woodland phlox with Mexican feather grass planted in a shallow border. I lined the border with Nassella tenuissima, Mexican feather grass because it softens the concrete.
Nassella tenuissima, Mexican feather grass, planted along the edge of a border softens the concrete blocks.
Side border next to the deck has Tightwad Wad crapemyrtles, Little Lime® and Quick Fire® hydrangeas. There are also daylilies and Mexican feather grass in this border.
Try some glorious grasses in your garden, and you’ll see what I mean.
