Cookie Run Kingdom: ViceShift

Hello! This is a blog for an AU I'm making where the Beast Cookies fall into different vices, and this has a domino effect on the rest of the timeline. More to follow, but for now here's the Beast Cookies (and their Vices) and the Ancients (and their Virtues). Story and asks will mainly be depicted via Comic Studio because I can't draw worth crap, but the designs used aren't necessarily what I imagine them to look like.

Beast Cookies

Mystic Flour Cookie: Despair

Burning Spice Cookie: Gluttony

Shadow Milk Cookie (now Sage of Truth): Disclosure

Eternal Sugar Cookie: Fantasy

Silent Salt Cookie: Vengefulness

Ancients

Dark Cacao Cookie: Perseverance

Golden Cheese Cookie: Progress

Pure Vanilla Cookie (now Truthless Recluse): Concealment

Hollyberry Cookie: Reality

So despite the changes, Burning Spice Cookie (who as mentioned is an archer in this) and Golden Cheese Cookie do in fact get a fight like in canon when they meet.

Now, the bait to get her into his territory involved some of them being lured into the Den of Pleasures, called the Eternal Oasis by inhabitants, through nightly parades. So after a whole thing with Young Kulfi hounding her with pranks in an attempt to confuse her into turning back and eventually showing her the Lassi Springs to give her some since she insists on going, she gets there and started investigating the place by disguising herself as a regular cookie. After she identifies him as the master of the realm and finds her subjects, she drops the disguise and confronts him, and he all but tells her that he has no intention of letting her subjects go because they're so "happy" where they are, even commenting that they're clearly not as keen on overworking themselves for pride's sake as she is on doing it to herself. She also pieces together that he's her Beast when he, asked why he had so many of her subjects lured into his realm, tells her that he did it because he wanted to see her. So yeah, she swings on him.

Young Kulfi gets caught up in the fights, but mainly because the spice storms are starting to put him to sleep, so Burning Spice Cookie aims for "her" while she's almost directly above Young Kulfi, winding up hitting the chain of a chandelier when she dodges. So Golden Cheese Cookie has to catch it before it lands on him, which Burning Spice Cookie counted on and fired an arrow where he knew she would be. Specifically a pink arrow. For newcomers, he has different color arrows. Different colors do different things, and pink arrows weaken the body. But anyway, he then uses his power to catch the chandelier so it still doesn't hit Young Kulfi; it was a bluff, he just knew it would work.

So guess who forgot to finish these 😅

What did the Beasts think of their Ancients when they first met in person?

Some of that was already answered, but the main constant, at least when they knew who the Beasts were, was fear.

Would you consider the Canon Ancients and VS Anicents Demigods?

Also, do the Ancients ever think about how they'll outlive all their friends and families since they got their soul jams?

I would actually put them as lesser gods (for comparison, the Beasts are intermediate gods and the Legendaries are major gods). The Imago Bestiae cookies are more like demigods, albeit with more raw power than their station suggests.

The Ancients definitely do think about that, yeah. Burning Spice Cookie especially was a lot happier than he should have been when he realized that Golden Cheese Cookie thinks about it as much as she does because now he could have someone to relate to from his experience as the Herald of Change he knows that common ground makes rulers easier to work with.

Also, do the Ancients have nicknames/pet names for the Beasts?

Mystic Flour came up with "Burdened One" for Dark Cacao because she knows how much his... well, everything is weighing down on him and feels the need to remind him of it every time they interact.

Burning Spice came up with "Little Songbird" for Golden Cheese because he thinks she's bright and pretty (in addition to her wings) and wants to tease her because she's notably smaller than him.

Sage of Truth came up with "My Recluse" for Truthless Recluse as a nod to their connection (to some degree all the Beasts feel entitled to their Ancients because they have the other halves of their Soul Jams).

Eternal Sugar came up with "My Acolyte" for Hollyberry because she wants Hollyberry to be her closest follower.

Silent Salt came up with "Flower" for White Lily as the closest thing to a term of endearment he could come up with.
