YOU! This is me asking you to talk about mazes and the shenanigans inside them.
OK OK OK OK OK O KO K OPKO
Today's thoughts!
accidentally found myself re-watching the "She drove me to madness" (episode 31) today.
AND THAT EPISODE HAD SOME OF IF NOT THE BIGGEST FORESHADOWING IN THE ENTIRE SERIES AND I COMPLETELY FORGOT.
Also made me realize C!Ayngel is SHIT at advice and always has been. i thought it was a one time thing. but she has been telling to bury everything FOR YEARS APPARENTLY SO LIKE THAT IS A THING.
AND LIKE. IT ALL MAKES SENSE LOOKING BACK.
Owen was so scared to tell anyone what he was really feeling. and took the role of the stone cold protector so that way others could feel the safety he never had. BUT AT THE SAME TIME HE TOOK IT TO FAR. WAYYYYY TO FAR.
i have always thought the only way to really 'fix' things was to have what ever moral reconsideration happen after the reunion. but...they really did push him to that. i always though Owen was over exaggerating with his puppet metaphor. "Like no dude no one is forcing you to be a jerk"
but they really did. like they villianized him for not being a leader. but when he was a leader they hated leadership and thought he was to controlling. there was no right answer for him.
does this make his actions ok in slightest? absolutely not. BUT its fun to think about a world where instead of encouraging his behavior of locking away any sort of fear and using him as a shield and someone to idolize. the clearing members would realize how it was affecting him and pull him away from that mindset.
if only they had noticed the signs sooner. but....thats what makes it all a tragedy is it not?
i could talk for hours on this episode alone. if anyone wants more of my unhinged outsiders rambles

You should put Machete in a turtle neck with a spooky shaped boob window, for what other holiday could you do such a thing?

Thinking about the acient Y/N cookie
Imagine a Y/N cookie who was part of the first 5 cookies who were baked But this Y/N was the only one who didn't get corrupted by their powers.
Tumblr media
Final Days (The Five Beasts)
Granted power by your Creator and tasked to bring your corrupted friends back here wasn’t the hard part…
The hard part was watching them get imprisoned, hearing their pained protests and anguish. It was hard bringing them all to one place and even harder to not fall to each of their temptations..
Tumblr media
Mystic Flour didn’t understand why you felt the need to protect such fragile cookies, cookies that can disintegrate into nothing with just a motion of her hand. Why bother spending a fraction of your power for these helpless little things…
Silent Salt couldn’t bring themself to raise their sword towards you, someone they called a friend even after having fallen to darkness. They just didn’t get it, why you cared for these weak pieces of dough….
Tumblr media
Eternal Sugar was the most in denial above the rest. She didn’t understand why this was happening, you had to be under someone’s control to do this to her! She thought you loved her! She’ll cry out to you as the chains enveloped her prison, to please look at her, she needs to see your face, your eyes! She weakly cries as you leave her prison, at least tell her that…you…you….
Tumblr media
You stood up for those little cookies against him?! Red Spice is trying to rack his brain for any kind of rationalization to your choice and can’t seem to find any! He never thought the day to raise his weapon against you would be now of all times, didn’t do him any good if he’s now stuck here!
Tumblr media
The staredown before you and Shadow Milk as his prison traps him in, his hands struggling to keep the bars apart. This was the route you chose?! Why?! It could’ve been you and him, playing the weak cookies beneath you like fiddles, having them dance to your tune! You put those frail pieces of dough before HIM?!
And yet….none of them could bring themselves to hate you for this.
They couldn’t….
———————————————————————
You…don’t really hold onto your power nowadays..less you might end up becoming just like them. It pains you to be dishonest about your capabilities, but..you try to chalk it up as being for the best. Especially in current day.
Tumblr media
“Y/N Cookie! There you are! I’ve been looking all over for you, the time of the expedition is today! Are you ready to join us?”
You chuckle to him as you finish up prepping your gear, stating that you’ll be with him and the others in a minute!
You wished you never had to go back to Beast Yeast again, but…if it meant possibly finding..her…then so be it!

yooo lovebug au?
OKAY SO.
The lovebug AU is not an all ages AU, let me tell ya. Acknowledging the toxicity of the 'yandere' stereotype first and foremost, for a short and sweet explanation: it's a yandere virus.
Tumblr media
It's a virus that effects both Sun and Moon, and causes them to become not only extremely protective of Y/N (to the point of threatening those who get too close) but also extremely Obsessive.
When it's not actively effecting them, they behave as normal, but threats towards Y/N, not knowing where Y/N is, intimacy and/or flirting (intentional or not) are all things that can trigger the virus to take effect.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Resisting it is tiring at best and painful at worst, and being close to Y/N is all that really quells it.
I doodle it sometimes, and have considered writing it, but it's also like 'how canceled to i want to get on the internet' yknow?
for now it stays in suggestive sketches and ominous doodles :)

Hello!! what are the other ancients dynamics with their respective beasts like? Are they also learning to get along or is that unique to SM and PV?
Hi, thank you so much for the ask!! Since we don't know much at all about the other Beasts, it's hard to determine what their relationships with the other Ancients would be like. However, there're some light predictions that can be made!
- Hollyberry cookie, holder of the Light of Passion, is likely trying to befriend Eternal Sugar cookie, but Eternal Sugar goads her into giving in to her indulgences such as berry juice, hoping to get Holly to turn to Sloth as well. After all, they both represent Happiness. Hollyberry honestly believes she can turn the other back, however, an admirable belief that Pure Vanilla picked up on when deciding how to treat Shadow Milk cookie.
- Mystic Flour cookie and Dark Cacao both respresent Volition- however, due to Mystic Flour's apathetic disposition, the two clash very often, and they're very against any change or compromise. Dark Cacao sees Mystic Flour's apathy as an inherent betrayal of the kingdom's subjects and refuses to listen.
- Burning Spice cookie and Golden Cheese would likely see eye to eye at first, both being super driven and representative of Change. However, Golden Cheese is driven to Abundance, desiring only the best for themselves and others, but Burning Spice only wants to destroy and raze. They would likely get into arguments often, only working together in desperation.
- White Lily has the most complicated and unpleasant lot of the bunch, unfortunately. She not only has to contain Silent Salt cookie, but she has also been reunited with her other Self steeped in destruction, Dark Enchantress cookie. Due to her multiple bad experiences with corrupted reflections of herself, she's the most resistant to any sort of idea of redemption for the Beasts than the other Ancients. Thankfully, she's also the least likely to be corrupted- Dark Enchantress is incapable of using the Light of Freedom, and Silent Salt has taken to, well... Silently brooding and ominously watching over things, for the most part. While all three fall under the overarching virtue of Change, she's the most resistant to a different mindset. White Lily is rather fearful of any corruption happening again, which is why she's also rather scared & resistant to Pure Vanilla's comparatively casual relationship with Shadow Milk cookie. Even seeing him simply humoring him terrifies her; she cares deeply about him and doesn't want him to be harmed by the other's lies, an understandable position considering everything.

Permission to die for your Brilex art?
It is too good it's deadly
I was going to respond to this with a doodle, but then I remembered this unfinished painting I was working on last year, so you get a very special treat :)
Tumblr media
This has a lot of depth to it that you'd have to pull directly from the recesses of my brain to learn. You just have to see my vision. Do you see it

perhaps Sparrow for your ask game if you have any for him!
HA HA HA I HAVE TOO MANY (Litteraly writeing a post/essay on him right now in drafts after getting a comment on a recent post) but here are the basics
Really really bad at taking care of himself. mans is constantly forgetting what he needs in order to live
Copper sparrow spoke through a speaker on his chest rather than mouth
*refer to storming sacrifices world building* He has the longest comas/takes the longest time to switch between hybrids
Scott found and read/watched his studies while Sparrow was bust being copper
Skulk sparrow wears extra jewelry and noise makers because if hes still enough he becomes invisible to himself and that's not a fun feeling. to feel like you don't actually exist. he also stomps around a lot for this same reason. basically Skulk sparrow is extra loud.
Hates being underground. this is mainly for angst purposes. but also because he was a pilot who i feel would love being up and in the sky and underground is like the furthest you can be from that.
Before he studied hybrids he studied birds!
He loses more of his memory with each life change. but if he had to pick the thing he wants to remember the most it would be his friends and interactions with others.
Skulk sparrow hates the texture of wool. Copper sparrow hates being to close to sources of heat and dirt. The human sparrow doesn't like small spaces.
Responds to the name Owen but never understands where the nickname comes from. hes never used it before landing here yet he knows its his.
THANK YOU I LOVE HIM SO MUCH AND IM GLAD OTHER PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR MY THOUGHTS ON HIM HE MEANS SO MUCH TO ME

For some reason, I was always under the impression that Machete (through various misfortunes and happenstance) just sort of... BECAME a priest - I wasn't aware that be actually WANTED to be one :0 what was his reasoning for that line of work? I mean, I guess growing up in and around the church might foster an interest, but...?
Well, priests were held in extremely high regard at the time. Apart from nobility who had the benefit of proper education, they were usually the only people who were literate, and being able to read was a massive advantage. Social classes were extremely rigid, if you were born a peasant you died a peasant and so on. But if you managed to join the clergy, had luck on your side and didn't do abysmal job, you might be able to ascend to a higher status, accumulate more wealth and live reasonably comfortably regardless of your origins (to my understanding the main reason people didn't choose this path to escape poverty and hardship was because of the literacy requirement. I've read that some village priests could only write their name and memorized everything else, but for the most part you had to be able to write, read and speak at least passable Latin). Committing crimes against men of God was a severe offence, more so than regular laypeople, and (at leasts in some eras and places) priests themselves couldn't be tried in regular courts and had their own ecclesiastical courts instead, all of this made clergy kind of a protected class.
Machete spent his early childhood in a monastery, after his parents left him there (he was sickly and his family was stretched thin and couldn't care for him anymore. Before orphanages monasteries sometimes housed orphans and foundlings until they were old enough to be apprenticed). He grew up in a strongly religious environment so a certain sense of spirituality and fear of God was ingrained in him from early age. He was a quiet, meek, punctual and polite kid, and because he didn't like to play outside and was so well behaved, he was allowed inside the scriptorium and the library. He was inquisitive and very fascinated by books so the monks taught him to read, and when they commented he'd make a good priest he was instantly entranced with the idea. He wasn't interested in preaching, but if there was a chance he could be safe and respected, even regarded as holy, he felt he had to do everything in his power to attain that. Sure he was sort of guided and trained towards that goal all along, but he also genuinely thought it was something that would give his existence meaning and significance, after being discarded by his birth family and feeling vague worthlessness and lack of belonging ever since.

The beasts, sealed away, punching the air while Y/N cookie accepts Elder Faerie’s proposal and the wedding after.
Tumblr media
Today is not a good day for the Beasts
You tell him that you do. That you wished to be married to him, now and forever.
The faerie priest asks if Elder Faerie Cookie will do the same.
“I do. Truly, I want nothing more then to be by your side, through the darkest of hours and the brightest of peaks. You, the wonderful cookie who helped saved the Silver Kingdom. And me, the guardian of the silver tree. Together, we may watch over this land as King and King/Queen.”
Tumblr media
Shadow Milk Cookie is seething. Hell, all of the Beasts were as they watched from their prisons.
“HOW?! MY PLAN WAS PERFECT! HE…ALL OF THEM WERE SUPPOSED TO LOSE!”
Tumblr media
Red Spice Cookie, from within their prison, is trying with all his might to break free. Rage is all he could feel, it feels like his own dough is burning from the sight…
Tumblr media
Mystic Flour Cookie sighed solemnly. It looked like Shadow Milk Cookie had failed to convert you fully, a shame that you saw significance in these lesser cookies. Why settle for less? It was beneath a cookie like you.
Tumblr media
Cut them all down. That was the plan Silent Salt could conjure up in their head. Destroy every single cookie in their way, reduce them to bits. Remind them why there can only be few cookies that could protect you and it would certainly not be Elder Faerie Cookie…
Tumblr media
The other Beasts should be lucky they don’t share a prison with Eternal Sugar Cookie, who’s currently in emotional agony as she struggles to brute force her way out of her prison. She has to watch the brightest light she’s seen getting married right before her eyes. It made her want nothing more then to BURN THE WHOLE KINGDOM DOWN weep into her hands, unable to think of anything else but to MUTILATE ALL OF THEM think of you and what could’ve been…

So like, are we gonna talk about how there is a problem in this fandom about some creators, mostly female ccs, being critized by fans whenever they "overshadow" the more famous hermits? No shade to any of the hermits, they are wonderful and i am sure this is the last thing they wanted to happen, but i am starting to notice a pattern. And it s always with the same excuses! "They did not play by the rules" "Someone else did the work for them" "It was boring and anticlimatic". And although I can think of some cases of this happening to male ccs (well, one case, and it was to a non-hermit), women have to deal with a looot of shit every time they score a victory, and it s terrible that this is just a routine at this point. And like where do the critics come from? Are these ccs supposed to lose in purpose and act as secondary characters to those who have more views or subs? I just don t understand
Oh yeah there's definitely a misogyny / popularity problem. It's always been around, got a bit better, and now post-Covid, it's getting worse.
Women can do everything and anything and they'll be criticised by some assholes. If False was proactive and killed every reaper who came near her? She would be "mean" and "a bully". If False kept her distance? She would be "barely online" and "not deserve a win". If False was on all the time, "the trappers wouldn't have time to lay traps". If False wasn't on because of work purposes (the meeting) or to EAT (because women are human beings who LIVE), "she wouldn't have a chance to die". I found it sad to see False explain herself and justify her jokes and actions. AND that is wholly dismissive of any irl things that may or may not have been going on.
Also... the popularity gap is getting worse. Some hermits have stagnating or even negative growth in terms of viewership and subs. It's unfortunate because everyone is free to watch who they want, work with who they want, everyone has limited time and attention span, so there's no real solution. Which is why I'm all for spreading propaganda. And I feel like my mains False and Ren are in the middle in terms of this— not the most popular, not the least either, so they kind of get left out when it comes to "underrated hermits" discussions. Idk. I know this has been a problem since the birth of Hermitblr and I know from the pov of a fan I do have it much, much better than some other fans who main other people. My main duo interact alllllllll the damn time. And I know I am guilty of sticking very closely to my main povs.
We have to drown out the trolls. Be vocal about what we love. I love seeing all the nice comments on vids. <3
