hi so i got really bored, and i wanted to practice crk artstyle by making a costume fanart for your fic :D
this costume is supposed to have a matching bond costume with HBAN!Gingerbrave, but i wanted to show you the Ultimate Cookie's early because it took me too damn long for them, so this is the Ultimate Cookie's Triumph of Unity!
since you've stated that HBAN is technically an unstable core timeline, hban costumeverse #1 can exist in canon. (I'm still thinking if i should try making bad endings for your ancients n beasts when BBAN drops)
basically this universe diverges from canon after our lilygang frees gingerbrave and the ultimate cookie from the moonstone prison back early on in the story.
remember when the light of freedom transports it and gingerbrave out of the hall of enlightenment? well if we glimpse into another path, gingerbrave uses his connection with freedom to get white lily and the others out of the hall of enlightenment, which leads to him getting captured after his great sacrifice.
the ultimate cookie does NOT consume gingerbrave when it gets its hands of him, and instead, just lets him live as his right hand man (this will be explained more when i finish the gingerbrave costume).
the rest of crispia proceeds pretty much the same as canon but during Chapter 34, the Ultimate Cookie just barges in at the end of the meeting with the other followers and consumes the other Ancient Heroes, with Gingerbrave doing nothing to help them, so the ancients are DEAD. (maybe not forever,,,??)
ANYWAY, i want to talk about the design! the ultimate cookie is tinted red because, since he can't have gingerbrave, they settle with the shards of the light of freedom, which turns him... well, red. the wisps circling tuc's head are the SOULS of the ancient heroes, which is to keep Gingerbrave in line incase he ever tries to betray them. is this a power the ultimate cookie has in canon? probably not but it looks pretty though.
its little poncho is designed to look like a butterfly because of that pic i put in the inspo section, so yeah!! it's also made out of wizard cookie's dough. (the green is because of white lily... will you ever know what happens to her? probably yes in the future if i ever do her.)
i hope you liked it because if you do im prolly gonna finish gingerbrave's design. the ultimate cookie took me nearly 4 hours because i kept redrawing his stupid clothes.
oh my god who knew something so evil could be so CUTE!!!!
i love all the little details here. the souls of the brave ancients, the fabric from white lily?? THE PONCHO IS MADE OUT OF WIZARDS DOUGH? tuc HATES wizard cookie on GOD it hates that man.
god. and our heroes going through all of hban JUST for TUC to get them at the very last moment? after all of that? i would have the BIGGEST crash out in history.
i do wonder how white lilys personal journey will change with the fact that it took gingerbrave so early. will she still have its shard, or did TUC consume it? THAT MAKES ME THINK. if gingerbrave is its right hand, he'd be at the banquet. so maybe willy is too shocked to tear the shard form its chest. ooh dude that is so good. i want to learn more about this.
you have this whole thought out story for it too omg. i would LOVE to hear more and see what else you have planned. ohhh my goodness this is AMAZING!!! thank you so much <33
i adore this ive been staring at it for like an hour taking in all the little details.
ALSO. yes, that soul storage you mentioned is technically something HBAN!TUC can do! if it doesnt full merge with those soul it can pull them out. thats what it does with the followers of unity!!
