Shadow Milk Update Is Coming So Here's My Old Reverse Au For Funsies Cause Evil Vanilla Might Be Real

Overprotective 🐛🌳

Scrumptious details, ate with no crumbs left

swap!au lamb, the carillonneur (i hope i spelled this right) by @yellowflowrs i wanted to draw them for a while now, their design is so fun. it was a blast :D

took some creative liberties with "the god of death" stage mainly because i couldn't make out all the details on ani's sketches of them

god i love this nightmare fuel murder sheep

My personal 2D model of Shadow Milk, animated by my pookie…. I love the result so much, thanks sweety <3

Okay, can we talk for a min about the fact that gingerbrave technically knows explicitly WHAT happens to cookies baked in the oven by the witches? Like his whole introduction in the game cookie run: ovenbreak is that he woke up one day, surrounded by non-animated cookie versions of himself, understood that the witches were planning to eat him, and RAN to save his life. And if we’re going off the idea that Gingerbrave happened upon the land of Crispia during his venture to run away from the witches, then are they just — keeping the information about the witches on the down low from them? Because they know for certain that cookies from Crispia downright revere the witches as like, their Gods, right?

Do you think when Gingerbrave found out that what White Lily Cookie saw “that night” were the witches eating non-sentient cookies, that he felt sympathetic to her PTSD? That, yeah, he was there too — it happened to him upon his birth, and he’s been running from it ever since? But why did he never say anything? Do you think he felt compelled to keep it hush-hush because the cookies of Crispia would think of it as heresy? Or do you think it’s because it’s more merciful to keep his silence — that cookies were born to be eaten?

Like can u imagine that the God you revere and pray to, that you send well-wishes to and celebrate, actually made you to sate their hunger? That your flesh is not made your own, that you were never meant to actually be alive? You were not meant to BE? You were just made to be consumed?

Maybe this is my religious trauma speaking to me and my ever-rampant need to project on my fave characters, but God, that is so fucked up. And White Lily can’t even know about — she feels all alone about what she had to witness, about what happened, like she would be labelled insane for even mentioning what she saw — but there are literal COOKIES in her presence, YOUNGER than her, that have witnessed, lived, and RAN from said witches all their lives.

Which one do you think is more fucked up; that one can’t share the horrors she witnessed because everyone else would label her a heretic, or that one can’t confide in the fact that all their life, it has been the ONLY thing they have ever known — and has been the only thing that has kept them alive?

More Lore in my AU (could also be part of Beastsitting AU past lore) I will paste it in from me and my friend @mo0nflower26 sleep deprived conversation about it

Based from listening to this Little Nightmares 2 song: https://youtu.be/5Z5I1ydmSUE?si=MH3ZYP1o7h_qykc1

I imagine Wizard Cookie and Strawberry Cookie in this cuz hoodie and face being covered

Basically before they met Gingerbrave cuz the Witch's Castle lore... Gingerbrave met them when they were already a duo

("There's a duo in a trio 😭💔💔💔" my fren says)

Though it is unhealthy, but i feel like the 2 being older than Gingerbrave makes them the overprotective siblings duo

Since Mono and Six aren't exactly seeing each other originally as siblings or any sort of protectiveness.. So that also inputs to Strawberry Cookie and Wizard Cookie... They likely see each other in some equal terms and beneficiaries

Those were the times they were still filled with skepticism... But Gingerbrave brought the warmth literally. And they'd probably fall in the doomed six and mono duo but Gingerbrave came in the Pic 😭

———————————————————————————

They'd probably attack more roughly like stabbing someone with a dull knife until gingerbrave came in and they became more quicker and swift with attacks

Like imagine the arena or battle affects in the game... How if you got gingerbrave in the team the team becomes more quicker with attacks killing enemies faster... But with just the 2 they'd prolly have not too quick to specify the fact they'd prefer to make it slow and painful in anway unless they have the moral compass friend

———————————————————————————

Strawberry Cookie and Wizard Cookie don't exactly have rivalry going on... Not sure how much the mono and six dynamic works. But they might clash if they're giving out "lessons"

Like they'd give Gingerbrave some lesson on how things work and their belief. But they'd only clash because they always had just the mutual benefits relationship instead of fully trying to bond

But they met Gingerbrave in my au probably when he's got a good grasp on things qnd had his own built in beliefs too He wouldn't exactly wave their lessons off, they'd prolly don't go far into truly pushing him to what they believe.

Can't get over the promo art and their cute lil outfits 10/10

I presented you Wizard Cookie Angst!

Always wondered why be covers so much with his scarf and keeps almost half of his face hidden. Here you have it

I shall call em Oven Trio.. Although i haven't really played Oven Break nor have much plans to.. I still indulge in the concepts of hte horrors of having your first years in life already knowing the sole purpose of you existence only being for a meal and already met with cruelty.. Gingerbrave, Strawberry Cookie, and Wizard cookie have gone through so much..

It's so interesting to see and understand how much it psychologically and emotionally affected them.. I want someone to write a fic deep diving into this kid's trauma and then giving them comfort in the end.. With suffering Ofcourse!
