#The Vice and The Shadow

[darkfluffydragon]

White Lily Cookie's braids were giving me a hard time so I decided to draw how Pure Vanilla's appearance would look instead lol. I was going to make him a jester like the faeries but then remembered that Shadow Milk Cookie likes plays and stories. A story wouldn't be fun if everyone was the same character, and Pure Vanilla was supposed to be more of a main character, unlike the faeries. So, going with the jester theme, I decided to make him a puppet king instead!

His appearance doesn't change in the animation because Shadow Milk Cookie figured that it would hurt White Lily more if Pure Vanilla Cookie betrayed her while still looking like himself. Casually planting seeds of doubt in her mind.

I also realised kings have knights, so I'm giving PV a knight :D (to be designed later). Also, I headcanon that Shadow Milk Cookie is a theatre kid who likes dancing.

edit: I spelt Knight wrong in the image XD

#fyp #cookie run #cookie run kingdom #cr kingdom #crk #pure vanilla cookie #shadow milk cookie #possessed pure vanilla cookie #pure vanilla is partially aware of his mind controlled state #sort of like when you're aware that you're dreaming but at the same time you're not?? #sometimes parts of Shadow Milk Cookie's personality creeps into Pure Vanilla #and vice versa #shadow milk is somewhat fond of pure vanilla #unintentionally #though he still bullies him using white lily #i made this at 4am- #phantasmagoria crk

Just thinking about Bela and Dani and how close they were as kids, only to notice they have the same kind of piercings🥺❤️

AND ALL THREE OF THEM HAD MATCHING NECKLACES IN THE OG DESIGNS

Pardon me while I go SOB

#I can’t w them #considering Dani shadowed Bela as a kid #they could’ve gotten piercings togther OR Dani wanted to match with her big sis😭 or vice versa! #okay now brain rot HC of Bela getting her piercings simply because Dani didn’t want to get hers done alone❤️ #I love to imagine the years they actually got to spend together as children/young teens was just them being inseparable. #what? what do you mean they get tragically separated and Dani is desperately trying to rekindle her relationship with her sister #while Bela struggles with her own demons and pushes her sisters further away to keep them safe? #nuh uh 🧍‍♀️ #all three of them are actually bonding at Disney World rn #resident lover #resident lover spoilers #bela dimitrescu #daniela dimitrescu

Guillermo with Nandor: aggressively pulls him out of depressive episodes by fighting (verbally or literally), tired of his shit yet indulges him most of the times, generally takes care of him

Guillermo with Laszlo: "oh honey, shush now, don't fight 😘", all this domestic shit they do, me and my (??? what are they) on our silly quest again te he~

Even before s4 it kinda like Nandor is his demanding sensitive baby and Laszlo is that annoying unthreatening guy, like they were destined to be silly duo

#Why is Guillermo like that hmmm??? #He's so silly cute with Laszlo????? #Laszermo #laszlermo #nandermo #wwdits #what we do in the shadows #guillermo de la cruz #The duality (infinity) of Guillermo #And yet he's the support they don't get from others #Nandor gets respect and admiration he misses #And Laszlo gets a close friend with whom he can be open about his feelings and vice versa #Like Guillermo and Laszlo are so vulnerable with each other in this season????🥺🥺🥺 #Theoretically Nandor often was vulnerable with Guillermo too but with them it's 10 times more complicated #And with Laszlo it's simple #Their relationship is very close and simple #And I want them in ot3

Vampire guillermo this

Human nandor that

What if they did some freaky friday type shit and have nandor and guillermo switch bodies? Now that would be funny

#I mean I still would like to see vampire guillermo and human nandor but it would be fucking hilarious if they did this #and like it would give guillermo the opportunity to test out being vampire and vice versa #wwdits #what we do in the shadows #guillermo de la cruz #nandor the relentless #throwing up my thoughts onto tumblr again #if I was good at writing I would have written this as a fic #*insert joke about them being inside each other*

Sareena: MY boyfriend is too tall for me to kiss him on the lips, what should I do?

Hanzo: punch him in the stomach, when he doubles over in pain, kiss him :)

Kia: Tackle him!

Jataaka: Kick him in the shin!

Bi-Han: NO TO ALL OF THOSE! JUST ASK ME TO LEAN DOWN!

Later:

Bi-Han: You knew what you were starting when you suggested that.

Hanzo: Don't have the slightest idea of what you're talking about, my dear in-law :)

Bi-Han: >:(

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

Again, this works in any scenario, but I had "Be My King" in mind.

🍃 As The Tide Turns ‣ (4/9) ‣ The lost treasure of Durin the Deathless has been sought by many and found by none, but to Bilbo Baggins, it’s merely another riddle just waiting to be solved. The self-proclaimed “Deathless” expert finds himself whisked away aboard The Ravenheart, led by the infamous Captain Oakenshield, and the two embark on an unexpected journey to solve one of history’s biggest mysteries. (pirate au, teen and up, 23k)

🍃 Between Vices and Virtues ‣ (6/6) ‣ King Thorin Durinson has only held the throne for a few months after the death of his greedy predecessor. When Shire Inquiry journalist Bilbo Baggins is brought in to observe a meeting of powers, it's quickly made apparent that Thorin's sheltered and strict lifestyle has him completely disconnected from those he rules, as well as his family. It's up to Bilbo to show Thorin that the world is worth exploring and that not everything is as it seems. (modern royalty au, gen, 40k)

🍃 Bookbinder//Songwriter ‣ (13/???) ‣ Thorin Durinul has always dreamed of making it to the big leagues in the music industry. Ered Luin’s newest citizen, Bilbo Baggins, an aspiring writer and all-around bookworm, has recently taken ownership of the mountain town’s dusty old corner shop, now, Bag End Books.

🍃 Forget-Me-Not ‣ (3/3) ‣ After the Battle of the Five Armies, Thorin remains out of consciousness until his outbursts of pain become too much for Bilbo to witness. Bilbo - the hobbit whom Thorin married in Lake-town - begs Gandalf for assistance. Magic may have pulled the pain away and brought Thorin to a lucid state, but it also took his memories of the quest, Bilbo, and their marriage, away from him. Now, with a fair warning from Gandalf that rushing Thorin's memories too quickly may cause him to relapse, Bilbo must tread carefully around his feelings, while Thorin is dead-set on courting the hobbit he can't remember he married. (post-botfa/amnesia au, gen, 14k)

🍃 Fuck Thy Neighbor ‣ (7/7) ‣ Bilbo and Thorin have a past, one that spans no longer than one wild evening which resulted in far too many drinks, a 24-hour chapel, and not knowing the other’s last name.

(accidental marriage/neighbors au, explicit, 31k)

🍃 Golden Hearts Bleed Faster ‣ (1/9) ‣ Bilbo Baggins, Prince of the Shire, has been left with a kingdom on his back and a ring in his hand after the unexpected death of his parents. Bodyguard Thorin Oakenshield has been brought in to see to the prince’s safety, and do a little investigating of his own on the matter in hopes of coming face to face with the one who turned his mountain, and his life, upside down some years prior. (modern royalty/bodyguard au, teen+, 3.5k)

🍃 Kurdu 'abadaz ‣ (6/10) ‣ It's said the Arkenstone is the literal heart of the mountain with a pulse of its own, ensuring life can sustain within it, but it's also been said that the Arkenstone can drive any king mad. Not every curse of madness is the same. When Thorin Oakenshield is plucked from his eternal slumber by some miracle of the stone, he must work with Bilbo to navigate this new world and what it means for the both of them. (post-botfa/supernatural au, explicit, 34k)

🍃 May Your Forge Burn Bright ‣ (18/18) ‣ Thorin labors as a blacksmith within the world of men to support his family and the other displaced dwarves of Erebor. Change comes to his monotonous routine when the smithy he works in unexpectedly comes under a hobbit’s management. (pre-quest au, explicit, 109k)

🍃 (Take Me Back To) The Night We Met ‣ (6/6) ‣ On a night when The Green Dragon Inn is out of vacancy, Bilbo Baggins opens up his home to a trio of displaced and rain-soaked dwarves. The two children of the bunch are happy to have a temporary home away from the rain, but their uncle, Thorin, sees it only as a debt to be repaid. (pre-quest au, gen, 25k)

🍃 They Stole My Heart (Along With the Rest of Him) ‣ (6/6) ‣ After departing less than amicably, Thorin and Bilbo find themselves pining over memories and questions of ‘what if’ without any courage to seek out the answers themselves.

(hades&persephone/TNBC au, teen and up, 58k)

🍃 Where The Shadows Lie ‣ (8/???) ‣ Bag End Bed & Breakfast collects more dust than customers these days. An unexpected visit lands a company of royal vampires into Bilbo’s care. As he learns to coexist, he discovers secrets to his lineage. (vampire/slayer au, explicit, 59k)

One of the craziest claims/opinions I have come across in the BL fandom is "Thai BLs aren't creative"

Sweetheart, my sweet fucking dumbasses, Thai BL industry was (one of) the first ones to create a BL with a time loop concept (Triage), with parallel universe concept (vice versa, two worlds), Time travelling (Love once upon a time, I feel you linger in the air), Twins interchanging places (Not me, Twins the series), mafia (red peafowl, kinnporse, gangster oppa, unforgotten night), and so much more. They have shows on racing, murder thriller, supernatural, prostitution, disability, class differences, FUCKING VAMPIRES.

Y'all are so fucking dumb and detached from reality

Characterizating Shadow is always a fight for me. In my head he is either proper and (outwardly) put together or he is a mean mean hedgehog who's compliments are just masked insults lol. I'm pretty sure I've achieved an okay balance tho.

Like he wants to be kind to all the worlds plants and animals but gentleness just doesn't come naturally to him(<- projecting). It takes a lot of work to stop baring his teeth put away his claws. He wants so badly to be kind like Maria was, but first he has to put down his weapons (sometimes literally) and go against everything his instincts tell him to do.

Unless he's talking to Sonic and Silver, they're fair game :3

Eventually, like years and years in the future type of eventually. He achieves his goal. He's def still rough around the edges, but he can hold hands without gripping too hard, garden without killing every plant he grows, and genuinely smile without getting embarrassed or feeling the need to mask it with something

#prefacing with two things #first off. the gardening was more metaphorical. just because you're nice to your dirt doesn't mean your gardening will get better #secondly. uhm. im a tails guy first and foremost so i would love for my shadow guys to weigh in thanks #sth #sonic the hedgehog #shadow the hedgehog #i have the mic #sonic headcanons #sth headcanons #also i really like making rough characters soft and vice versa lol

[xerith-42]

dude. xerith. idk if you saw my reblog of madcatlad’s post, BUT. they cooked. the issue on the table: nether withdrawals. i’m insane about this.

very much exploring the idea of the calling being more about fighting the addiction that is the nether itself for shadow knights, rather than purely the aggression part.

thoughts? musings?

Oh Cinn, oh Cinn you've brought my attention to something beautiful.

Little known fact about me because I'm still pretty decent about over sharing on the internet, addiction is something I've actually thrown hands with before. The idea of the Calling as an addiction to the Nether?? Now that's a concept I can latch onto.

I think that there could be ways to satiate withdrawal, but not in an exactly helpful way. The Calling is in Shadow Knights brains like "Oooh you wanna kill your loved ones and come back to the Nether soooo bad." But minor acts of violence and arson can make it shut up. Enough bloodshed, such as what happens at the Werewolf Wedding, is enough to make it so a knight isn't drawn to the idea of killing their loved one anymore because the urge for blood has been answered. Of course... Most Shadow Knights fighting the call aren't exactly happy when something like the Werewolf Wedding happens to them.

As for the urge of the Nether, they could always try to answer that with things that are like the Nether or remind them of it. Sitting by a fire, setting things on fire, sitting in a pool of hot water that can at least try and simulate lava, setting things on fire, existing in the bitter dry heat of an Arizonan morning, or setting things on fire. The Calling always responds best to the most violent solution, and even while trying to satiate it, it's still pulling at the mental strings of a knight to make the most violent decisions possible.

That idea of being able to sit by a fire instead of setting something ablaze really sucks for Knights who might have been traumatized by the Nether and struggle to be around fire for very long as a result, Laurance.

A lot of moments of a premature Shadow Knight lashing out aren't necessarily because the Calling is making them want to kill, it's because it's making them want to go back to something they know is bad for them. It's a drug that they've overdosed on and are trying to run away from still present in their veins and urging them to take another dose, regardless of its lethality. That kind of mental gymnastics and battle wears down at a person even when they aren't actively fighting. Even if they aren't in their head fighting the Calling and it's urges, it's still there. They still think about it.

Laurance doesn't want to go back to The Nether. He would rather die again than go back there. But when he sees the frame of a portal, when he's nearby one that's unstable, he has to fight. He has to fight his body and its urge to go back to that hell. Just one hit will make him feel better. Just a chance to touch netherack and breathe that ashy air will soothe his worries. Because being reminded of the Nether, even if it causes a trauma response, does cause a part of his brain to feel good. The Calling sees fire and gives him a shot of dopamine and excitement.

Wouldn't it just be so nice if he went back? If he didn't have to feel this constant drain? If he was in the Nether then the Calling would shut up, right? Wouldn't it be so amazing to just feel this good all the time? He's already dead, what damage can be done to his body afterwards?

Of course the Calling has two components, both addictive. One is of course the urge to go to the Nether. The other is that urge to kill your loved one and gain immortality. Doing one only makes the other feel stronger. Oh, you sat next to a Nether portal and made it so you're now comfortable in the over world? Bet you wanna kill your lord right about now, huh?

What's that, you actually killed your lord? Well, don't you just wanna come home to the Nether where you're surrounded by people who have all done the same and won't hate you for it? Go on, you know you want to.

Like everything else, it comes down to the Shadow Kings need to control. If he can make Shadow Knights into addicts of stuff directly associated with him, they'll be more loyal. They'll serve him to get a fix of bloodshed and hell fire. They'll come running back to him after ruining their lives for his enjoyment, and they'll fall at his feet for the chance to become a higher up in their army. He deprives them of everything they ever could have had and calls it freedom.

[sonknuxadow]

one thing i wish was explored more in sonic is the like. dynamic between humans and mobians i guess is how you could describe it. specifically in the games and other continuities where theyre all living on the same planet together.. like are there any major cultural differences between humans and mobians? holidays or religions that are common among mobians but not humans? eating habits that are common among humans but not mobians? stuff like that

are there many towns or cities that have equal amounts of humans and mobians living in them, or are they usually mostly or exclusively populated by one or the other? would restaurants have multiple types of chairs to accommodate for things like height differences or big bushy tails? idk its just interesting to think about

#i think its also interesting to think about possible differences between mobians that are different animals #in terms of behavior and the food they tend to prefer and things like that #also i know mobians is an archie sonic word its not a term thats used in the games but #idk what other term to use that would fit here and wouldnt be a mouthful to say over and over again #i also wonder how common it is for humans to adopt mobian children or vice versa #closest thing we have to an example of that is shadow . which wasnt really an adoption situation #but i do wonder if he has any noticeable behavioral differences from other hedgehogs #that are a result of being raised by humans
