Upon Awakening

Re: White Lily's reaction to what happened to her friends and their new forms

I've been WAITING to make this post for such a long time, and I finally did it >:3 Side tangent, but I referenced the composition + shading style from a picture of Phrolova from WuWa.... smol mention for transparency purposes, hee hee

LORE BELOW:

White Lily Cookie was incredibly stunned when she heard the news of her friends' transformations and the development of their much more ruthless natures. Her dough was filled with dread all the more when she was told of their newfound powers. The ancient hero never would've thought she'd begin to fear them, but she understood at the same time. The wrath of heroes.

Amidst her shock, White Lily Cookie felt pain at the thought. Just how much despair and hardships were they subjected to, for them to harbor such rage? How long had it been boiling inside them? What were they told? Or did they also uncover the same truth that gave way for Dark Enchantress Cookie's birth? What had happened while she remained slumbering?

She returned to the waking world too late. White Lily Cookie wished she could have offered them comfort, but a part of herself nagged: would her friends have wanted to see her, even after the great evils she had brought upon cookiekind? A source of their anguish?

Was it too late to ask for forgiveness for her sins?

Interaction between Abyssal Cacao cookie and F!Y/N Cookie yippie-

F!Y/N Cookie found herself in the Dark cacao kingdom and accidentally bumped into the one cookie she was especially trying to avoid: Dark Abyssal cacao cookie.

It didn’t take long for him to recognize F! Y/N Cookie, even in her disguise form. He was of course VERY happy and relieved that she was ok and unharmed, but he was also pretty mad and frantic about the fact she disappeared for so long. Abyssal cacao cookie still welcomed her into the kingdom and citadel with open arms, F!Y/N Cookie went along with it to find out more about what was going on.

Abyssal cacao cookie was of course planning to tell the other three anti-heroes that he found F!Y/N Cookie. But for now, he needed to attend to other important matters, including: The execution of the traitorous Affogato cookie and his followers.

And poor, unlucky F!Y/N Cookie had to secretly witness each of their executions with her own eyes.

F!Y/N Cookie confronted Abyssal cacao cookie about him executing cookies and the two got into a huge argument. In a huff, F!Y/N Cookie tried to storm out of the citadel, attempting to leave the Dark Cacao kingdom.

But unfortunately for her, Abyssal cacao cookie was not about to let go one of the cookies he loves and adores the most.

F!Y/N Cookie would stay here, in the Dark Cacao kingdom where she would be protected and safe, whether she liked it or not. After all, he was only doing this for her own good. She would come to understand, in time. Deep down he felt guilty with forcing her to stay, but he refused to lose another cookie he loves.

Affogato Cookie fans, I'm so sorry in advance...

Kind of a filler post but lore-wise, not-

CW: Mentions of death, execution

I kind of had a big brain moment and got the sudden inspiration to start drawing arc characters and placing them in the AU,, for this one yall have some cookies from Flaming Berry arc :DD I haven't gotten around Raspberry or Wildberry yet but will definitely soon. I do think Raspberry wouldn't really change much though, but Wildberry will deffo mirror more of Flaming Berry's style... More stuff below:

Went for a different direction for Tiger Lily's new design here! I kinda wanted to explore a "princely" vibe yet still keep a rough look,,

Sugarfly's outfit is kind of inspired off Raspberry's style! and I think y'all can guess where I most likely got the dress style from HEHE- I just thought it'd fit Sugarfly really well! I wanted to keep the vibe of her original outfit while making her blend in with the Hollyberry Kingdommm

I made Jungleberry and Royal Berry look a little more regal, perhaps slightly intimidating? maybe Royal Berry doesnt look THAT imposing still but thats intentional since i wanted to keep his canon character while being on Flaming Berry's side! I was really tempted to give Jungleberry a war fan but those came from Japan and Hollyberry Kingdom is inspired by Europe.... so I just made her fan look sharp enough to at least defend herself,,,

I really wish crk does more with Tiger Lily's story as the lost twin princess of the Hollyberry family AAAAH, so why not utilize that here in this AU!!!

For now,, have crumbs of Jungleberry being particularly fond of Tiger Lily when she was brought in the castle due to her almost uncanny resemblance to her (presumed) late daughter. Plus, the tiger lily flower she wears in her hair also comes into play.... its not lost on Jungleberry- as of these scenes, neither the royal family nor Tiger Lily herself knows her true identity.

I swear if tumblr sitll ruins the formatting, then shit there's nothing i can do ab it then HEIOATJKA-

Lily and the (Anti)Heroes!

This au has me in a chokehold im

Overthrown AU posts r still coming just not at this moment, IM SO SORRY- I do have a few things planned tho dw

Flaming Berry Cookie - Fervent Passion

The wrath of Passion. When does passion begin to burn as hot as rage? There were many a sources it could've been ignited from. Be it the bouts of self doubt, regret, but there was also sloth and the truth of the world. And by extension, her very purpose.

The demon almost pulled the Hollyberrian Queen into a cage furbished in gold and the sweetest of whispers. And she was almost tempted into giving it all up. A moment of rest and recuperation... The thought sounded attractive to the weary monarch. But this dreamy veneer was shattered when she had laid eyes onto her friends, her family who were trapped in jars full of jam. Hollyberry Cookie realized just how fast the world truly spun if she let go even a sliver of passion.

Now, as the draconic warrior Flaming Berry Cookie, she has taken fate into her own hands and crushed it. Clad in velvet armor, she moves like a ferocious dragon that tear down any threat with razor sharp teeth and claws drenched in jam. But she protects the cookies she so loved with her trusty shield and signature warm and jolly demeanor all the same.

The Moonflower Bard would strum her silver lyre, imagining herself in the grand halls of the Queen Mother's palace as a musician who would play her songs to soothe her burning spirit, and perhaps share a drink with her once more.

Abyssal Cacao Cookie - Sharpened Resolution

The wrath of Resolution. The Dark Cacao King reached his turning point when he sought a deal with the creatures of the Licorice Sea, intending to make them his ally - whatever it takes to become stronger.

The bitter cold enveloping the Cacaoian lands was just as harsher as Abyssal Cacao Cookie's rule. There came the relentless capture and execution of confirmed traitors from forces of Dark Enchantress Cookie and the Master of Apathy in the kingdom. From then on, it marked the beginning of a reign of Resolution sharpened like the coldest of blades.

Abyssal Cacao Cookie did away with the King who let burdens crush his dough and became the rightful protector of his denizens.

Oftentimes, the Moonflower Bard wondered: Could the warmth of her old friend still be found somewhere in the raging, murky hailstorm?

Beasts, I have something to warn you about. The other ancients you faced off against are now more ruthless so I suggest you tread carefully. Don't believe me? *hands them pictures of the 4 anti hero ancients*

"You're too kind of a soul to warn the likes of US. But we already know. A little birdie told each of us."

A bit of an author's note: I imagine by this point, the Beasts already know about what happened with the Ancients through word of mouth! SMC would've heard from Black Sapphire, and Burning Spice by his army, and so on and so forth-

Silent Salt, though... he stays watching in the shadows. :00000

Thought I'd try some mixed reactions with the beasts :P
