Here me out

Instead of trying to heal Dark Cacao, if instead Mystic Flour can find the cookies closest to him, (like Dark Choco and Caramel Arrow or maybe even White Lily),

would they be able to bring him out of his apathy? If it’s mentally deteriorating him instead of physically, then the love of his friends and family might bring him back.

Or worst case scenario, kill Mystic Flour and hope that works out

Oh don’t you worry. Dark Choco is absolutely showing up again next chapter

[thesparkledash]

Hear me out

I feel like if we give Dark Cacao some therapy, antidepressants, and let him see that his Kingdom still wants and cares about him he would be fixed 

Well I mean, all of them need therapy. I feel like that’s a given

[thesparkledash]

no act of romantic true love between MysticCacao, but what about BurningCacao?

Dark Cacao will not be smooching anyone in this AU!

[thesparkledash]

I love your au, specifically because of the way that MFC is slowly becoming detached from apathy, it allows me to imagine that that's happening with all the Beasts - because of A) the fallen ancients behaviour and B) now having both of the soul jams back.

Golden Cheese, despite everything, still clinging to what she has lost. Pushing against change and clinging to abundance, making Burning Spice do some self reflection. (Let me be delusional)

Truthless Recluse, embracing sweet lies whilst also bitterly accepting his situation and the bitter truth, making Shadow Milk do a double take.

Is all of this going to happen? Probably not. Am I telling myself it's real? In an alternate alternate universe, sure.

Well I already said that I do want to eventually redeem all the beasts, so maybe you’re not being as delusional as you think lol

[thesparkledash]

what if…and hear me out…an act of true love? Doesn’t even have to be romantic

Well, I suppose you’re not entirely wrong about that?

(it’s definitely not gonna be romantic. MysticCacao is never gonna happen guys)

How do you think Golden Cheese Cookie will react to Hollyberry Cookie in the Fallen Ancients' AU? Will she be angry or try to understand Hollyberry Cookie since she's regretting her choices with Dark Cacao Cookie?

Ooooooh, that’s a good one. While I don’t think Golden cheese would resort to violence again, she would absolutely still be angry at Hollyberry for selfishly abandoning her kingdom. Cause again, golden cheese is the only one of the ancients who hasn’t bought into her beast’s ideology. Sure she might’ve fallen back into the habit of desperately clinging on to her kingdom instead of trying to actually fix things (as well as the added anger issues), but she’s still mostly the same as she was before. So she just cannot understand why the others would do what they did

[thesparkledash]

Does Golden Cheese and Pure Vanilla regret their actions at the tea part or are they both (mostly Pv) to far gone??

I think Pure Vanilla is feeling a little too numb for regret right now

Golden Cheese however? Oh yeah, she definitely regrets it. But she also thinks there’s nothing she can really do to fix it anymore

[thesparkledash]

Maybe Mistic flour could ask eternal sugar for help she is also a good healer though that probably wouldn’t work since I’m pretty sure the root of the problem is not physical but mental

Finally, someone said it! It is 100% a mental thing on Cacao’s end. It’s so funny how everyone’s solution so far has just been “lol she’s just not healing him hard enough, get pure vanilla or something”

Apologies for putting this in asks, but after reading your latest page, I have to give you big props.

I love how you make Mystic Flour's realizations and consequences come back at full force to bite her. Not maliciously, but in a reality check way (which in this context, I guess is malicious). It plays so well with the elements of apathy and how detaching from your emotions make you feel even more desperate to reach out to someone and make connections. It makes all of this feel so real and relatable in its emotional delivery.

Your really good at writing, I applaud you!

That's so sweet of you to say! To be honest, I'm always a little scared that my writing is perhaps a bit OOC and stuff like that, so this is actually really nice to hear

[thesparkledash]

You mean this pure vanilla? The pure vanilla that watched two of his closest friends emotionally/physically harm each other, did nothing about it and then willingly threw himself into shadow milk's arms? Yeah, I don't think that's gonna work out

[thesparkledash]

Are these interaction asks just for fun or can they actually impact the story?

No, they don't impact the main story. They're mostly either dumb jokes, or sometimes provide a little bit of extra context

[thesparkledash]

I have a question. Does peach blossom play a major or minor role later in the story?

Bro is most likely never gonna show up again outside of non-canon joke posts

[thesparkledash]

What about his Soul Jam? The Soul Jam of Resolution might be able to help

[thesparkledash]

Hmmmm maybe talk to peach cookie? I don’t know but maybe he can help

[thesparkledash]

Im gonna go out on a limb and say your favorite beast is Flour /silly

It’s a tie between mystic flour and burning spice tbh

[thesparkledash]

no worries mystic flour, I'll give you a cake :D

hands over a bitter dark chocolate cake with flour on it, it has a caption that says "you can't fix him <3"

Still more edible than the cake DC and Cloud Haetae made

[thesparkledash]

Mystic Flour’s falling flat on the floor from tripping looks meme worthy. Don’t you think?

Same energy
