Tumblr media Tumblr media
Princess Cookie: C’mon Knight Cookie! What’s taking you so long, you heavy-armored slowpoke?! Knight Cookie: My Princess! *phew* Please take caution and slow down! Princess Cookie: You should learn to relax and have fun! Go with the flow! You know, enjoy the pure excitement of adventure once in a whi- EEEK! Knight Cookie: Princess Cookie! Are you alright?! Your Highness, I beg you! It is possible *pant* to enjoy adventures while keeping *pant* safety in mind at all times! Princess Cookie: Geez, I thought you were a knight, not a nag… Whoah, look over there! There’s something behind these shrubs! Knight Cookie: It’s… it’s a boat, Your Highness! It seems like someone has sailed all the way here. Princess Cookie: Yeaaah, I don’t know but it’s SO EXCITING! A real adventure boat! SHEESH! And look! There’s something inside!
Tumblr media
Princess Cookie: There’s a place called the Tropical Soda Islands! Doesn’t it sound like the MOST. PERFECT. PRINCESS vacation spot?! I haven’t been on vacation fooorever! Knight Cookie: But my Princess?! You cannot be suggesting we- Princess Cookie: It’s settled then! YAY! Tropical Soda Islands, here we come! Knight Cookie: Errm… Uh… But a journey of this scale needs… preparations! Food, supplies, spare sets of clothing and armor, weapons to defend ourselves with, a secured route and itinerary, and, and, and... Princess Cookie: Oh, of course! Aren’t you one smarty knightly knight! Let’s meet at the docks after we’re done packing! Knight Cookie: Wait, no! That’s not what I…! Your Highness!!! Knight Cookie: A sea journey… That doesn’t sound safe at all�� No, a knight must have no doubts and second thoughts! My mission is to protect Princess Cookie, no matter when or where! Princess Cookie: Knight Cookie! I’M BAAACK! Knight Cookie: Ah, Your Highness! You’ve… returned, with a companion?
Tumblr media
Sparkling Cookie: Good afternoon, my good Knight Cookie. Sparkling Cookie, at your service! Do you mind if tag along?* I heard of an exquisite island beverage worth the journey!
*actual text
Princess Cookie: Yeah, a princess can’t enjoy the beach without a fresh ice-cold juice in hand! Those are the rules! So naturally, I invited Sparkling Cookie to join us. Sparkling Cookie: You’re in good hands, my lady. I’ll whip up some amazing drinks that go perfect with the fresh sea air and the patter of waves.
Tumblr media
Knight Cookie: My Princess… Are you sure this is wise? What if Your Delicateness suffers from sea sickness during the trip? Princess Cookie: Nah, I’m feeling JUST GRRREAT! And what’s more, looky looky here! Princess Cookie: There’s lots of different fruit villages scattered across the islands! They say the juice at Watermelon Isle is heavenly! We HAVE to stop there! Sparkling Cookie: I’ve heard that the denizens of Pineapple Isle serve drinks in hollowed-out pineapples. That will truly be a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we simply aren’t allowed to miss!
Tumblr media
Careless Durianeer: Boss! BOSS! Hey-hey-hey boss! Stink-Eye Tortuca: Who ya callin “boss”?! Oi told ya’s, it’s “CAPTAIN” now, hear me? “CAP-TAIN”! Stink-Eye Tortuca: And oi said NO DISTURBANCES! I be entertaining guests. *GROAN* FINE, but ya got five seconds! Each second more’ll cost ya a day’s ration! Careless Durianeer: We spotted a small ship ahead! Stink-Eye Tortuca: Oh yeah? And ya think they’re super rich? Careless Durianeer: T-t-they be lookin like… er, tourists, Captain. Stink-Eye Tortuca: WRONG ANSWER! *Tsk* What a waste of time… Teach this greenie how tae NOT be wrong! Dunk him in *grin* DURIAN JUICE! Careless Durianeer: But Cap’n! CAP’N! One more thing! If we stay on course, we might crash into them! Our beautiful ship will capsize! Stink-Eye Tortuca: USELESS LIKE A NO-STINKY BONE-DRY PIT! Do oi have tae do everything on this ship MYSELF?! Just shoot ‘em and problem solved!
Knight Cookie: My Princess! It appears as if we cannot continue sailing this way. There are buoys blocking our path. Princess Cookie: Oh bummer! This can’t be right?! Why don’t you do something?! The route on the pamphlet says this is the most scenic route...! Sparkling Cookie: My lady, there’re little flags on top of the buoys. It appears to be a drawing of something… pointy? A thorned flower, perhaps? Knight Cookie: Your Wiseness! It can be something much MUCH worse! A dangerous spiky bomb, for example! Princess Cookie: Nah, it looks like a spiked watermelon to me!
Tumblr media
Knight Cookie: GWAH?! What’s this? PIRATES! We’re under attack! Take cover! Sparkling Cookie: My my, the situation is stickier than spilt juice on a hot day! But surely our ship can handle cannonfire, can’t it? Princess Cookie: EEEK! Knight Cookie, why are they shooting at us? DO SOMETHING! Knight Cookie: Hang on, my Princess!
Tumblr media
Knight Cookie: Urgh… my head… what’s that sound… Of course, it’s Princess Cookie starting a commotion again… Wait… I was... Knight Cookie: Oh no no no! YOUR HIGHNESS!!! Knight Cookie: MY PRINCESS! Where are you?! Princess Cookie: Not so loud, Knight Cookie! Why are you yelling at me? It’s not very polite, you know!
Tumblr media
Mango Cookie: No need to argue! This kind sir here just woke up, after all. How’re you feeling? And dut-dut-dut! It’s OK! You’re safe and sound, here in the Coconut Village! Knight Cookie: You step away from the princess and state your identity! Your Preciousness, are you unharmed? What did you do to the Princess! Mango Cookie: Whoa now, easy, easy! How about a proper introduction? The name’s Mango Cookie, and this is Coconut Isle! And Princess Cookie doesn’t have a scratch on her. Princess Cookie: This coconut milk tastes… eh he he… unique! Wake up already, you sleepy head, and try it! Oh, and put this lei on. Mango Cookie made it himself! Knight Cookie: PHEW… I am relieved to hear you are safe, Your Highness. A-a-and… ahem. I shall put this on myself, if you please. Knight Cookie: That reminds me…! Who were the miscreants that attacked us? They’d dare open fire upon the peaceful ship on which the Her Nobleness was aboard?!
Mango Cookie: Glad you asked! They were probably the Durianeers.
Tumblr media
Mango Cookie: TheDurianeersareabunchofpiratesbuttheynevercausedtroubleinourTropicalSodaIslandsuntilrecentlybutnowtheyarewreakinghavocbutnooneknowswhytheystartedtothis*andtheykeepplunderingislandshereandthereand...
*actual text
Knight Cookie: Eh… um… I… I’m not sure I… Sir, could you speak a tad slower, please? Princess Cookie: Are you saying that these ”Durianeers” are plundering your islands?! Tsk, tsk, tsk. That’s not very nice of them! Princess Cookie: *GASP* What about Watermelon Isle?! Mango Cookie: I took a few visitors there a few days ago and it seemed to be perfectly safe for tourists! I think… Erm… I hope! He he. Princess Cookie: WELP! It turns out I don’t like coconut milk that much! Perfect time to move on to Watermelon Isle! Mango Cookie: Leaving so soon? Aww, the Coconutians will be so sad… Oh well! We’ll take one of my secret routes! Mango Cookie: The strait we’re going to take is too narrow for large Durianeer ships, so we’ll be safe! But just in case, stay sharp and hang tight! The currents can get real nasty.
Tumblr media
Princess Cookie: Oh no, how horrid! The village is in ruins…! Who could have done such a terrible deed? My princess sense of justice is TINGLING! Knight Cookie: It seems the Durianeers have pillaged this place rather recently, Your Justness! Princess Cookie: The entire village is empty! Did the Durianeers kidnap everyone? NOW HOLD ON… Does this mean I won’t get a glass of ice-cold watermelon juice?! Knight Cookie: Your Watermelonness, please! I understand your disappointment, but now is not the time. This area is highly dangerous, totally unsuitable for royal princesses, and- Princess Cookie: (Pouting angrily) Those… those bad, bad pirates! The Durianeers! I’m going to rescue all the villagers they kidnapped! Cuz that’s what Princesses do! Knight Cookie: I-er- Pardon me, Your Recklessness? You are… YOU’RE GOING TO- Princess Cookie: Sparkling Cookie is missing. The villagers are missing. You can’t get a glass of watermelon juice without breaking some watermelons, Knight Cookie! Do I really need to explain that? Princess Cookie: The Princess has decided! I refuse to have my vacation ruined by a ragtag band of pirates! Mango Cookie: But… Wait! No, no! There’s no way I’ll let a group of travelers go on such a dangerous quest! Knight Cookie: *Sigh* My friend, there’s nothing you can do… Once Princess Cookie puts her mind to something, nothing will stop her. Princess Cookie: Knight Cookie, LOOK! It’s a coconut boat! We’re gonna use it to rescue the villagers!
Tumblr media
Mango Cookie: Oh dear… No, don’t! Oh, I can’t watch... Knight Cookie: Her Highness has made her choice, and I am honorbound to her side. Mango Cookie, you have no obligation to follow us, but I do have a request. Mango Cookie: A… request? S-sure…! How can I help? Knight Cookie: Ahem… Well, the thing is… Can you get me some more coconut milk?
Tumblr media

Lost his boat, lost all his supplies, even lost all his valuables in these bets. Careless Durianeer: The boss is, I mean, the CAPTAIN is pretending to almost lose! (And he’s so bad at keepin’ a poker face...) But THIS Cookie’s just too gullible... Laid-back Durianeer: Scraped off the bottom of the gullible barrel… Ha ha! Oh look, the game’s already over. Stink-Eye Tortuca: HAR HAR! Oi win again! Chuck over that Naga’s Heart of yours! And aww… just look at ya. A merchant’s young son, with NOTHING tae his name! HA! Yogurt Cream Cookie: I… I lost? Oh, no no no, this isn’t happening. What will I tell father?! Wh-wh- How? This is bad, very VERY BAD! Lilac Cookie, what do I do?!
Tumblr media
Lilac Cookie: ...You should not have revealed nor bet the Naga’s Heart. Lilac Cookie: Captain Stink-Eye. Your palm. Don’t think I didn’t notice your trick when you slammed the cup. Stink-Eye Tortuca: HA HA HAR! A trick, eh? Who d’ya think oi am?! Oi got a better idea! GET THESE TWO LOSERS OUTTA MY SIGHT! Stink-Eye Tortuca: Accusing me, ME, of cheatin’? Ya hurt ma feelings… But oi got a special gift for ya. HEY! You! Tell that sparkly, bubbly guy to make some goodbye JUICE! Laid-back Durianeer: Aye aye, captain! Farsighted Durianeer: Boss!

Princess Cookie: HYAAAAH! Stink-Eye Tortuca: Now this be a lovely day!? Getting tae meet and rob so many Cookies today, HAR HAR! Knight Cookie: Princess Cookie! *Urgh* Your Braveness, please slow down! The deck is rather slippery and- GYAH! Princess Cookie: You’re the Durianeers, I take it? You seem all bark, no bite! Did you kidnap the peaceful villagers of Watermelon Isle?! I, Princess Cookie, demand you let them go! Stink-Eye Tortuca: Who do ya think ya are…? Making demands of ME, the captain of this ship! Ya look like you’ve still got a lot tae learn about the world, “PRINCESS”! Stink-Eye Tortuca: Piece of advice. Stink-Eye Tortuca: On this ship, if ya want something, ya gotta win a wager! Stink-Eye Tortuca: Ya want me tae free these watermelon fellas? Then show me what ya got to bet! Though, one look at ya tells me that YA’RE the one who’s all bark and no bite. Princess Cookie: Excuuuse me?! It’s a very ROYAL princess you’re talking to! And I’ll prove it! Now, where did I put it… It’s somewhere in here... Stink-Eye Tortuca: HAR HAR! Little princess is gonna wager some candy wraps from her pocket? Now that be CUTE, oi gotta say! Princess Cookie: Then how about THIS? A valued, royal treasure from our kingdom!

Knight Cookie: How is this possible? This is no mere victory of chance…! Princess Cookie: Something stinks! And it’* doesn’t smell like durian! What’re you hiding in that giant hand of yours?!

Tumblr media
Princess Cookie: Get, psst! Is your name Rookie Cookie? Let us out…! Sorbet Shark Cookie: OoOo! Princess Cookie: Huh? What are you bubbling? Can’t you like… speak in words? Sorbet Shark Cookie: OooOoOooOOoo...
Tumblr media
Knight Cookie: I cannot tell if this Rookie Cookie is hiding any ill intentions. Though, even if we could understand these bubby sounds… I believe negotiating is- Princess Cookie: URGH! There’s gotta be a way out of this! Sorbet Shark Cookie: oOoooOoooOO! Knight Cookie: My Princess, that strange Cookie has left… It sounded like they’ll be back soon though. But that smile… What could it mean? Princess Cookie: Who cares! Now’s our chance! Let’s find a way to bust this joint! Knight Cookie: The key has been taken away as well. Perhaps I can cut through with my sword… Stand ba- Princess Cookie: Knight Cookie, hurry up! There’s a porthole! Crouch down so I can get up there! Quick! Knight Cookie: Your wish is my command, Your Resourcefullness!* *Urp* H-heavi- Have you reached the porthole, My Princess?
*actual text
Princess Cookie: No! Hold… still, UGH! Just… a little… bit… higher! Knight Cookie: Y-es… Your... Princess Cookie: No, I SAY “HIGHER!” Huh? Knight Cookie? Knight Cookie: Zzz... Princess Cookie: Knight Cookie, now’s not the time for a nap! Wake up! WAKE UP! Princess Cookie: That’s one lazy Cookie… And… Oh? *sniff sniff* Where’s this smelly smoke coming from? ???: You. How are you still awake? Princess Cookie: EEEK! Don’t sneak up on me li- *urmph* Lilac Cookie: Silence. You will awaken everyone from their sweet slumbers.
Tumblr media
Lilac Cookie: How strange. My sleep powder is effective on every Cookie. Except you. Are you not a Cookie? Princess Cookie: What are you talking about?! Of course I’m a Cookie: PRINCESS COOKIE! Did you cause this? Put everyone to sleep? Are you rescuing the villagers? What’s going on? Who are you? Lilac Cookie: *Sigh* Another headache to deal with… I must remember to concoct a more potent batch next time. Princess Cookie: Hey! Are you listening to me at all? Answer me! Or at least… oh! Are you trying to steal back something from that I’m-Stinky Captain? Lilac Cookie: I do not owe you a response. Princess Cookie: Hey! YOU! STOP! Will you just leave a fragile, delicate princess like me trapped in this cage?! Princess Cookie: If you don’t let me out… I’ll... I’ll… I’ll scream!
Tumblr media
Lilac Cookie: Sweltering sands take me… What a shrill voice… Very well. Princess Cookie: Good! Let me wake up Knight Cookie real quick. Lilac Cookie: No, leave the clunky one. Just you. I assisted you. Now you… will assist me.

I love your writing, I used to be able to enjoy it with your pacifim rim fanfics but you're in another fandom now and I don't know where to start with DCU so I can read your new things, Kuro could you recommend me where to do it? movies, comics, series?
so i’m totally not the person for this because i frankly did not get into DCU until Batman v Superman (2016) movie where my biggest take away was: ohh fuc ALFRED HOT 💦💦💦 between that and all the subsequent dceu movies (which were just alright to me but fun enough to have me show up at the theatre to enjoy), most of my interest largely came from fics actually.
because i consumed a fuck ton of that in those following days and have not stopped since. i’m a multishipper, i also like gen, and DC has been around fooorever so there is a fic for every need out there.
i knew enough about the general lore surround bat and friends that i could read most batfam/batship fics with no glaring problems (and sometimes i will gleam new canon facts from fics like tim has no spleen??? or more earlier on, bruce wayne has more than 3 kids???). and then i discovered jason todd as a character and my one brain cell mind clutched on and never let go.
most of my fics focus on jason todd and basically how i want everyone to have a good time with him (he is the herc hansen of my dc fics). and i'd easily admit, not a lot of my fics actually need much dcu knowledge 🙈 and the fact that  you are willing to try a new fandom for my stuff makes me bAWL in the best way.
i’m not really a comics reader because frankly, i don’t like the way western comics have this rotating roster of artists so going from one issue to another feels like whiplash to me. and i can never stand it :’(((
but here are my limited comics recs, notably all jason focused:
Arkham Knight Genesis (good art and good story and packed full of heartbreak jason galore)
Batman: White Knight (can be a bit long-winded but i love the premise and the art is Lovely)
Batman: Under the Red Hood (mostly for jason’s return from the dead knowledge)
the first 25 issues of Red Hood and the Outlaws Rebirth (and then dexter soy, the artist, left and the series crumbled for me :((()
not comics but: the animated movie Under the Red Hood (2010) (i haven’t watched batman the animated series or batman beyond but i’ve seen that rec’d by many people, seems to be THE cartoons that most dc fans watched and fell in love with as a kid)
not comics but: Titans 2018 (both seasons now on netflix, i cringed at some parts but enjoyed some parts too so i think it deserves a spot on my list given i watched the full thing lmao)
i’d admit, dcu is big and daunting. and i might be writing fics for dcu for the majority of like upwards of 3 years now but i still have no idea what’s actually going on 😂 and all this probably doesn’t answer what you’re asking but i hope it helps in some way 🙏 (and if it didn’t, well, i get it too)
ps: if anyone sees this and have good comics/movies/whatever else dc content recommendations, feel free to add in the replies/reblogs! :DDD
