One day, the New Vanilla Kingdom court suggested the king and queen to let one of them school Honeysuckle up until her young adult years, but was surprised when they turned down the offer.
"It would be a shame to confine her in the lavishes of the castle.", Vanilla explained. "We want her to experience the world to its fullest, to open her mind to cookies and sights she's never seen before. Honeysuckle has a big heart, and it would be a shame to throw it to waste."
It was an agreement on his and Lily's part to raise her to become not just an heiress, but a compassionate young girl whose path in life isn't predestined by her regal bloodline. She's already had dreams of traveling the world like they once did, and was dead set on fulfilling her dream of riding a dragon when she grows up.
So upon bringing her to the Vanillian kindergarten for the first time, the two can't help but think about the future she's going to have. Though, judging by his sniffles and tears, Vanilla might have been too ahead of himself...
Today, I noticed that the Ancients have eye and soul jam colors belonging to the same analogous set of hues. All except for White Lily, who completely complements hers. I wonder why...?
Happy International Pure Vanilla Day everyone! Can't believe he's now two thousand and five hundred three years old (4/8 or 4/7, depending on your time zone)
I've never actually posted anything that isn't an illustration and wanted to try my hand on something new, so here's a rough storyboard of my two ancient babies! I've always imagined White Lily to have just as big of a crush on Pure Vanilla as he does on her except she's the more feeble type and struggles to string her thoughts and feelings together in a way that doesn't make her a flustered mess lol
I have yet to plan when I'm going to polish this since I'm so stacked with schoolwork but ehh, whatever's on the table is available. Eat up PureLily brainrotters~
Not gonna lie, I thought Devsis was onto something when they made CaraChoux look an awful lot like Honeysuckle. Like come on now, sharing the same name with a canon cookie is one thing but the same design? That was not on my bingo card. Nevertheless, I think the two would defo be great friends :D
In fact, before the art below, the first Pure Vanilla sketch in a long time was this crossover that I no longer remember how it came about.
Silly circus cultist.
