So he started leaving out nuts and treats for you. The damaged fruits and vegetables would join the pile, which you eagerly gobbled up. Nikolai took to watching you on the cameras that he set up.

At first, you would grab the food and run, terrified this was some kind of trick being played on you. Over time, you started to become more comfortable. You'd lounge on the trees nearby, catching the sun on your fuzzy belly for hours, or splash around in puddles that the rain made.

"Ya gonna bring em inside?" Kyle whines, tail thumping Nikolai's thigh as he watches you scurry around outside.

Sakura : NO!! I-

Taunade: rule number 1 : if I ask about it, I know about it, so don't lie about it.

Sakura :...we're in love.

grace's goes straight up. only he can see it. (otherwise he would be on the news for it, and i don't think he'd turn out to be the same guy with that different of a life in the spotlight as like, the guy who proves both aliens and being soulmates with them are real. i'd read a fic about this different guy, sure, but we're talking about grace rn. just like a batman with living parents is no longer batman imo. there is a line between au and "oc that looks like a character". those ocs can be cool and interesting, but still calling them "the character from that thing" feels inaccurate at some point. i'm aware this is a hot take. and the line is debatable bc it's ship of theseus shit. anyway.)

he knows he's going to space someday, or it's coming to him (slightly ominous, but okay, cool. he thinks). despite this, when he joins the hail mary project, he doesn't plan on going. they can come to him, and he's kind of scared. he's realized he's not attracted to anyone, as he's aged, and worries what that means.

he still freaks out when he's asked to go, and as he's sedated he looks up and sees it. fear and relief and acceptance battle as his consciousness fades. he knows he's not attracted to people, and hopes he'll be attracted to this alien (the paths diverge here on whether you make him only attracted to eridians or be aroace for all creatures, where they'd be queerplatonic soulmates, depending in part on whether you want smut or not. maybe he has an awakening when rocky eats in front of him, maybe they're the best best friends in the universe).

on the ship, for a while, he doesn't remember what soulmates are. maybe he didn't want to. he just knows there's a line going to his destination. then, when he gets there, to a ship, and then rocky. rocky doesn't say anything because they have other shit to deal with.

i don't know if he'd choose to leave in this au, but it'd be very easy to find his way back.

also the scene where he's following the burn marks on the floor to where rocky got back into his atmosphere, grace follows a flickering line along with the wreckage, bc rocky is so near death.

also, you can like, metaphysically feel the thread as well, for eridian "seeing" puposes and blind people on earth. fate cares about accessibility idk. rocky follows one of his threads on erid, and when the mission is announced adrian sees him off, being one of the few people he's told about his second thread (bc you can pull the polyamorous eridians headcanon from my dead hands. like, why would aliens have to be monogamous? fight me).

i may write for this even though i usually don't love soulmate aus, bc this idea is fun. we'll see. i have so many wips and promised myself i gotta finish one of the three i'm actively posting for before i start a new one.

(I still in a bad mood so......)

No doodles today, but I wanna add stories and facts and do some later on

(I just realized the gacha background of the beasts showed some stories of them, I AM SO DUMB )

(ok, bsc is my 2nd favorite beasts, ok?)

Once the Herald of change welcomed cookies to enter his temple for knowledge , he showed the cookies abt truth, democracy, liberty and history, the rightful way to rule the earthbread with peace and love, but once a lie has spread, everything became in chaos, Herald of Change and his friends tried to fix it,but in the end he eventually gave up as the damage has done . He thought if he can't fight it, he might as well join it. Now he showed lies, unequality, corruption and violence, and those 'foolish ' cookie fell blindly onto it, causing earthbread became a chaos. He had destroyed what he swore to protect , to teach, to love.

Fun (random) facts abt him:

0.I don't like drawing his design

1.Instead of having antlers like his original design, he had feathers (ones on his hat) that often wrapped around his hat

2.He is technically blind, even the eyes in cannot let him see besides the ones in his hat, so his feathers and sense does the job ( he is highly sensitive in all his body parts besides his eyes)

3. No one (even me) knows why is he holding a wine glass.( I thought it looks cool) or what it has, is it wine, juice, or even jam ?(heheheehehe)

4. [Shadowspice warning hehe, I am still a fan] in one of these universe (where smc is in the style of bsc) , he actually made his dough fragile and shorter (or skinnier ) than he was b4, so that he would do a workout like he did b4 ( which is doing push-ups sometimes while having him on his back or murder any cookies which he hates suggests him to do so). Although B smc hates him doing so, he had to thank him sometimes as his stamina got better while his strength doesn't change at all, he could run faster as his body was lighter (which foiled S bsc 's plan)

In these universes, B smc will hold him as much as he liked and S bsc doesn't mind at all, in fact , someone caught them holding hands while nuzzle their forheads (SUCH A DISGRACE LOL) (don't worry, B smc will have his entertainment provided by him later on)

5. If cookies suddenly have violent minds, trying to lie, or just even in rage, they became vulnerable when it comes in trapping inside his places, as he could use it ,or destroy them in a mere seconds if it suddenly went out of their control, so when you enter his place, just a reminder that don't have any thoughts abt him.

6. He wears heals,( such a girly ,ugh) AND HE COULD STILL WALK FOR HOURS

7.He could fly, but still

8. He is a great fighter

8.1 I am dumb and I wanna die

Do you think that he experienced a fleeting moment of melancholy when he gave Ivy that one chance in AK, or do you think it's more likely that his words were motivated by the strategic consideration that she, alive, might prove more useful to him in the future? 🤔🤔
