Helping future Dad 🥹🙏

Mkay—— so this piece of fanart is a little different from the others, because I really wanted to gift you a colored piece, but only realized after I’d sat down to color it that because I was on vacation, I’d only brought a pack of 36 markers, a white posca, my pencil, and sketchbook with me……. And no other art tools…. In light of this, I had to improvise and ended up block coloring them—— I’m sure you’ve seen other ppl do this before. It’s the first time I’ve ever attempted this kind of coloring technique though, and so I’m rather dubious as to how well the outcome was, however, I still wanted you to have it…… so here it is!

This is fanart for your fic: An offer returned ( Please let me stay ) I really love the dynamic of the trio and Pure Vanilla in this, so in dedication of the recently passed Father’s Day and your fic, I decided to do sketches of them. I hope this doesn’t ruin your impression of my art, thank you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, I'm posting this to my blog again because of 2 reasons.

1- This was submitted before it was publicly posted, and I completely forgot to reply to this before I saw the post on their Tumblr.

2- The message alongside the art was too cute not too include too.

That said...

DADNILLA! THE KIDDOS! I love how you translate their cookie designs to human forms. And again, your art is so soft and just... Ugh, I wanna hold it in my palms and squish it gently.

And even with limited colors, you did such a good job with lines, shadows, and different outfit parts! (like the designs on Wizard's cloak)

Nilly and his accidental children.

Cookie Run Fanfic

|Short Fluffy, Hurt/Comfort character study of Nilla and the trio, I’m not slandering him, I know the kids go on the adventures cause their the main characters, this is jsut for fun! Badly written sorry|

Pure Vanilla is in the garden with the trio, their helping him garden. He looks at them with fondness, Gingerbrave was busy watering a bunch of lilies while Wizard Cookie was discussing the importance of botany and how it can be useful in spells to Strawberry who was currently planting a lily in the soil.

They’re such sweet children. Such sweet wonderful friends! And then that thought came back. A thought that had been floating in his head for so long now…

Where were their parents?

Not that he wasn’t used to seeing young cookies go on quests, but even then they still had parents awaiting their return. But seemingly in the Cookie Kingdom they only had friends…..they never mentioned a parent…

They weren’t even originally from the kingdom…

Why didn’t he even think this before? The healer had paused in the midst of planting as he hummed with intrigue. He looked at his companions with a smile.

“My friends, i have a question?”

The kids paused in what they were doing looking at him.

“Sure what’s up, Pure Vanilla Cookie?” Gingerbrave asked cheerfully.

He heisated before looking back up,” We have been through so much together and….” He heistates before continuing” I apologize I am asking too much but…I have been wondering where are your parents?”

Silence. The children’s eyes widened at the question. He frowned wondering if he had said too much. He was about to apologize before the words spoken to him, made his eyes go wide.

“Parents?” Gingerbrave asked, confused.

“As in young cookies who travel with those older cookies?” Strawberry titled her head.

Pure Vanilla frowned deepened, as confusion mixed into his expression.

“He’s referring to families, or more specifically the creators of young cookies. The ones who made them.” Wizard Cookie answered, as Pure Vanilla felt even more perplexed by such an answer.

Gingerbrave and Strawberry Cookie, seems to understand the answer as they let out an “Oh!”

Creators?

He gave a worried smile going with the statement,” Yes, your creator I suppose, the one who shaped you, made you into who you are today…”

“Oh like the witch?” Gingerbrave replied with a nervous smile,” Our mother, if that is correct way to say it… tried to eat us…”

All the color drained from Pure Vanilla Cookie’s dough at the answer,” She…what?”

Strawberry nodded shuddering as she finished planting the flower,” Yeah I saw it, as soon as I was made I hid…watching her eat one of the other batches…”

Wizard Cookie nodded,” Matter factly so yes by definition we do have a parent, however we were specifically made for eating, so at the same time not really…”

“Which is why we keep running!!” Gingerbrave chimed in with a laugh.

The healer blinked in disbelief. All this time when he had been with these children. All these dangerous adventures, they had been following an instinct. Guilt seemed to overwhelm him at the realization of from these children conception they had been running from danger, running from monsters, running to find his own friends.

He looked up trying to process the next words,” Do…you even have a caretaker? Someone who looks after you when you return home?”

The children looked at him confused. Gingerbrave gulped as he looked down bashfully,” Well I mean…we help heal each other? And the cafe makes steamed jellies!”

His heart sunk so low at the truth. For someone who dwelled in compassion and helping others, how could he have been so blind (mentally).

The trio had stopped seeing how the saint had let out a shaky breath.

“Pure Vanilla Cookie are you alright?” Strawberry Cookie asked worried.

He had to steady his breath as he looked back up with glossy eyes,” My apologies…I just- I can’t believe I never realized, how alone you were…taking care of yourself…”

The children immediately surrounded him.

“No! No, Pure Vanilla Cookie don’t worry about it! We’re old enough to take care of ourselves!” Gingerbrave reassured.

Even then he couldn’t help the regret. When he had been too cowardly to go find his old friends, he had set the children. When he couldn’t speak to White Lily cookie feeling too overwhelmed he sent gingerbrave. He had left them stranded in the Spire. He had seen them almost plummet to their deaths, because of his inability to stop it….

Even if he was tricked by Shadow Milk in that case it still felt like his fault.

He had tried to understand and help everyone else but the three children who would do anything for him. How could he be so inconsiderate.

“I’m so sorry…I let you all go on those expeditions for me…i didn’t even realize how scared or hurt you might’ve been…” A tear fell from him as he tried to remain calm,” My inability to see how it must’ve frightened you…”

Of course he too had grown up mostly with the sheep…but this was different. These children shouldn’t have gone through that…and yet he had let it happened. What kind of….cookie was he? How could he have let this happen.

A hand was placed on his shoulder, he looked up at Gingerbrave who stared at him with a soft smile. The children had knelt down.

“Pure Vanilla Cookie, please don’t cry….” The boy muttered as he looked up with endearment,” We…were always willingly to do such things for you!”

His heart ached.

“We’ll always follow you…we’ll always make sure you’re okay…” Strawberry Cookie spoke shyly fiddling with her hoodie strings.

Wizard Cookie flickered up at with rare vulnerability,” We..we care about you…you’re very important to us…” He mumbled, tipping his hat down to hide from such words he just spoke.

The healer’s breath hitched at the confession.

“But you deserve to have someone who will cherish you, keep you company, who will keep you safe…”

The children looked at each other before back at him,” Like you!”

He snapped his head back up in shock, his heart beating slowly,”P-Pardon?”

“Logically, you’re always here for us when we need you, you provide us with comfort and warmth, you made sure Gingerbrave was safe in the Creme Republic by sending Black Raisin…” Wizard Cookie began straightening his posture.

“You give the greatest hugs too!” Gingerbrave smiled.

“And…you make us really happy…”She looked down nervously,” We love you Pure Vanilla Cookie…”

His face flushed, so brightly in that instance he swore he looked more like a cherry cookie than a vanilla one. His soul swelled so much, at such honest words, he could feel tears pricking his eyes once more. He looked down his throat feeling dry, as he tried to find words. He had been through war, lose, and sacrifice, and yet this was the moment were he had frozen.

Their words had struck within his souljam.

“I….” He couldn’t find words at the awaiting children, all he could do was let out a jagged breath and embrace them tightly. The children immediately melted into the touch, as he cradled them close.

“If…you let me…perhaps I could be your….” He nuzzled into them, pulling them tighter.

All he could do was let out a laugh. Such sweet children. His sweet children.

His little ones who he would never let run from fear again. He would be here for them, to protect them.

He had an another chance to protect Lily. But this was a first chance to protect them. To return their own love, with his.

Trio of orphans accidentally wander through a fairy ring and get scooped up by local Fae king.

I can hear Mel scoffing noises about Viri.

Viri is immediately there to comfort the lost children wondering through the woods alone. His heart filled with worry. He takes them back and is sickly sweet to them, the love potion radiating a warm parental affection to nurture the aching loneliness his queen’s unrequited affection gives.

The trio are eager to leave, continue their journey back to their kingdom. Viri won’t let them leave though they’re so young! He can’t let them travel the terrains of this world alone.
