i can only imagine the bs that happens during this meet up... so with @fishymom-art's help we figured out exactly how that would go!! (anything said about the FAB Lights are straight from Fishy! who is so helpful o(TヘTo)!!)

Happiness would be ecstatic to meet Determination! And to see a version of herself so mysterious??

...unfortunately Determination is not used to beautiful women and her holder is Strawberry Cookie, so they're... a bit too nervous to reply.

Change is pretty excited as well, and they dont even have to fight! Abundance is much more of a Storyteller anyway, they'll leave the fighting to Chili Pepper.

.... though Change does remind Abundance of someone.

i already mentioned in this post that Freedom would be a bit hesitant to talk to Solidarity, having seen how they used to be in the alternate version of themself, so it would be...

and with these guys.... things got a little confusing, since the Swap made Knowledge and Volition merge a bit.

at the very least its an interesting conversation.

theres a lot of confusion around the HBAN!Lights still being split, but since we just left the Silver Kingdom, they have a long way to go!!

(Fix A Beast AU (and the designs for Knowledge and Solidarity) belong to @fishymom-art! The design for FAB!Happiness designed by @sami-vai! FAB!Change designed by @vortex-tea! FAB!Volition designed @velvetsplentiful-art!)

slaps roof of car, this bad boy can fit so much potential for tragedy

on a completely unrelated note, who are we thinking could have been brave cookies

anyways chapter 6 is now up! on ao3 for ultimate vessel au

Writing Gingerbrave is surprisingly hard I swear.

Every scene I write of him its never really a matter of "Would he do this?" because for a friend there's a not a lot he wouldn't do. Rather I have to keep asking myself "What would make him stop?"

Because like Gingerbrave has so much willpower and hope in his heart.

Even after being born knowing the horrifying truth of the witches, he kept running for a better life and started a kingdom with his friends. Even after being used by Dark Enchantress Cookie, he believed in the goodness of White Lily Cookie until the very end. Even after nearly being crumbled multiple times in the Spire of Deceit and seemingly betrayed by Pure Vanilla, he still called out to Pure Vanilla Cookie to help him against Shadow Milk. Even after witnessing all his friends crumble and being mentally tormented by the Ultimate Cookie, all he needed was to hype himself up and he got back up to start running for the oven doors.

I decided to work on Strawberry's look. In my opinion, with every adventure she becomes more confident thanks to Gingerbrave and friends, and I wanted to reflect that in the design - to make her a little more open.

And here are a couple of my sketches. I initially thought about a skirt, but ultimately settled on the second one, as it suits her better and looks more appropriate for adventures.
