Spookstacular !!

So.

Yeah idk have this

So I know we’re obviously all wondering why the HELL Kris has one of Berdly’s feathers. But while thinking of this, I remembered a small, eensy-weensy detail from a short kerdly oneshot I posted in May

Yeah Apollo’s dodgeball really decided to kick my ass with this one I guess

I’m wondering. Would anyone be interested in commissions of the results looked like this? Some colored variations below

If there is any general interest in receiving commissions of this style, let me know!

I ORDERED THIS LAST MONTH AND IT WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE TILL MID-JULY TO SHOW UP

But here it IS.

EARLY.

AND BEAUTIFUL.

MY K-ON DVD AND AN EXTRA GIFT TOO HELL YEAH

When ShaMilk and Custard start their travels together he’s eventually brought to the Spire where he meets Black Sapphire and Candy Apple

For my own entertainment I imagine Candy Apple had a pretty one-sided beef with Custard for being the ‘new favorite’ and taking all the attention since he’s the focal point of Shadow Milks schemes against PV and the Brave Gang right now lol

If this were a more comedic au Black Sapphire would make fake ‘minion of the month’ pictures that are all just Custard to irritate her

“HE HASN’T EVEN BEEN HERE THREE DAYS!”

Shrug “Hey, the pictures don’t lie do theeeeey?”

That’s a good question honestly. As much as I’d love to make it a fanfic or a webcomic, with large storylines like these I tend to struggle with maintaining motivation to get from start to finish haha

Best cause scenario is I eventually put something out on ao3 or post mini-comics here when I find both the time and motivation

I think the best way to answer this is to start by explaining where specifically in the plot my au becomes canon divergent, that being scene #7 of episode 2, where Elder Faerie and ShaMilk have their fight

Unlike in canon, breaking free from the Silver Tree left ShaMilk more drained than he anticipated, so rather than Elder Faerie fighting him off at the cost of his only life, he just barely managed to make ShaMilk retreat and survive (did I decide this just because I wanted Elder Faerie to live? Only partially lol)

At the time of ShaMilks release and encounter with the Brave Gang, Custard the iii is still in the airship wreckage somewhere in the forest, so he doesn’t know about ShaMilk or how he’s the bad guy (this helps define their dynamic later in the au)

When ShaMilk retreats into the forest he finds Custard the iii then and puts 2 and 2 together from both the boys appearance and the airship wreckage that he must be acquainted with PV and the Brave Gang one way or another.

And since Custard knows the Brave Gang but DOESN’T know about ShaMilk being bad, he figures the boy is the perfect pawn to use against them.

He immediately begins his scheme the moment Custard is awake again.

Obviously SMilk is going to play as one of his personas, maybe not changing his appearance but using a concerned and warm personality to make Custard feel more secure

“Now what is a young cookie like you doing in *such* a dangerous place hm? Why you’re *so lucky* I happened to find you!!”

Something like that

And for this particular scheme I decided he wouldn’t be doing any disguises with it.

After introductions he makes a comment about Custard’s tiny crown and staff and this ofc gets Custard talking about how kingly he will be

And sticking with the concept of Shadow Milk not changing his appearance and only his personality

He’ll act like he’s doing Custard a service

Something along the lines of

“Well I should accompany his young highness through these treacherous lands then!!! Maybe offer some entertainment, after all a king does need a jester!”

Which

Custard would easily agree to anything that makes him more ‘kingly’

So Shadow Milks plan is already going perfectly

Easily making Custard think he’s in charge and that SMilk is just doing right by a future Royal

Thats the start of their acquaintanceship, rather than Custard the iii

So what I have for that at the moment (I might revise it later) is that Custard the iii, rather thank staying put in crispia like in canon, decides to stowaway on the airship heading to beast yeast.

Because of how he idolizes PV and wants to become a ruler like him, he thinks seeing how PV behaves and handles situations in the field will give him an example of how to be more ‘kingly’

I made a mini comic of Nakamura based on that time I accidentally bought my first smutty BL (legit the one in the comic) and had essentially this exact reaction (without there being a Hirose equivalent on my mind)

Bonus:

that’s like

such a unique and out-there trait to give a modern teenage boy it makes me so weirdly happy (also bcus I too enjoy Chaplin films)

Icchan is NOT living long bro 😭

On the phone with @ermine-57047 and just spent around 15 minutes ranting about “Go For It, Nakamura-kun!” and subsequently ranting about everything I know about Nakamura Okuto and how he is me fr fr

he is everything

he is my silly guy

I wake up and he’s the first thing I think about

he’s the last think I think of before I sleep

I dream of him

I eat lunch and think “would Nakamura like this?”

I think about him during every song I listen to

I walk around and wonder how he would spend his day today

So this is my endgame design for a redeemed Shadow Milk in my canon divergent redemption au

I first made the au when Beast Yeast was first starting out and I decided to bring it back recently. Of course given current ShaMilk is currently like. Beyond no return, the au still diverges from where it did when I first made the au, that being in the beginning of Beast Yeast ep 2, before Elder Faerie dies

so I’m going to FanExpo at the end of May and I’ve been decorating a bag I bought for myself with all my various pieces of fandom merch and shit

but before the expo next week

I’m ALSO getting my nails done

so to whoever was interested enough, how should I theme my next set of nails? (It’s currently Whipped Cream cookie themed)
