Okay, so it seems like the beasts are getting their own update (thank God),
Anyway, even though this spoiler is kind of vague, I can see it fitting for shadow milk or mystic flour.
If this shadow milk, this would mean the story would probably focus on him, possibly showing how he got corrupted.
Assuming this is mystic flour, they are talking about. This would imply that beasts corrupted themselves due to their mistakes instead of Shadow Milk. One by one, they fall into their own despair. Which is pretty interesting.
Y/N Cookie watching as the Fallen Heroes become corrupted: “I am very uncomfortable with the energy that we’ve created in the studio today”
*proceeds to help in their capture*
You had just finished going over the acts of compassion and benevolence you’ve done for your cookies. You patiently looked on towards your fellow Primordials, curious as to what they’ve done for their cookies! Surely they’ll be just as heartwarming and kind as yours-
Red Spice laughed as he went on about a recent village he reveled in turning into a burning landscape, taking much joy in watching these feeble cookies run for their lives! They couldn’t give him the joy YOU brought him in a fight though!
Silent Salt spoke few words, but you deduced what they said to be a case of Silent Salt cutting down any cookie in their way, no doubt with ease and with little difficulty. A sigh from them told you it left them pretty unsatisfied that it ended so fast, they bet YOU would’ve lasted longer then they did…
Mystic Flour nonchalantly chipped in that she leveled an entire forest area with just a simple hand motion, nothing remained. She can’t remember if cookies were in the area or not when she did that, but she can’t really do anything about it now. They’re probably reduced to nothing by now…but if YOU were there with her, she probably would’ve taken them into consideration..
Eternal Sugar yawned as she floated on her cloud. A bunch of these little cookies couldn’t stopped bothering her with their smiles and gifts, it was even her scheduled nap time too. So she may have kinda torn them apart with her power, a shame since she was pretty comfortable laying down and these annoying little biscuits had to come along. Besides, nothing they could’ve done would’ve made her happier then getting to see YOU and your cute face~
Shadow Milk chuckled maniacally to himself, he had his audience captivated and turning against each other in no time! It was such FUN to see them fighting and destroying themselves, it was so EASY to do too! But it would’ve been more fun if he had his guest of honor, YOU, with him…
They then turned to you, expecting you to compliment them on their feats. Could they have headpats too as their reward? They were always fans of those~
Nothing but absolute silence on your end.
You helped your Creators out and did not look back!
I made this a while back and had these head canon ships of the beast cookies. I just think they are neat, and Silent Salt is the third wheel and is perfectly fine with it.
Also, so are the Beasts actually friends? That’s what Shadow Milk is implying
I mean sure they probably used to be friends, and they probably weren’t enemies, but I don’t know, him still calling them comrades even when evil came as a shock to me
bit of a theory/headcanon, what if the beasts had different names before their corruption? it's a common theme in cookie run whenever a cookie ascends or gets corrupted or whatever they have some sort of name change, like croissant -> timekeeper, frost -> frost queen, white pearl -> black pearl, octopus -> abyss monarch, white lily -> dark enchantress
here's some of my ideas for what their names coulda been
shadow milk cookie - blueberry milk cookie, kinda inspired by how he very clearly has ties to the blueberry yogurt academy w/ that design + he's very blue and the shapes of his jester hat thingies and the thing on the end of his staff are kinda blueberry shaped
mystic flour cookie - maybe light flour cookie, clearly has a light motif going on in their design and it just has a nice ring to it
eternal sugar cookie - this one's kinda tricky tbh, harmonic sugar cookie because of the harp? sweet sugar cookie because happiness? i dunno
burning spice cookie - here's the guy who inspired this theory, since remember how when the beasts were accidentally mentioned on the anniversary site earlier they were labelled at red spice cookie? maybe that's why
silent salt cookie - much like eternal sugar this one's trickier, but i think stalwart salt cookie has a nice ring to it, fits with the knight theming and stalwart's another word for loyal/reliable and that fits with being the light of solidarity
I can’t wait to learn more about the other Beast Cookies, because I have a headcanon that their prisons inside the tree are tailored with a specific punishment for each of them depending on their crimes.
For example, Shadow Milk Cookie’s prison is a vast empty nothingness. He can do whatever he wants, cast whatever spells and put on whatever shows… but he’s ALONE. No audience to terrorize or entertain. Nothing there to challenge him or inspire him. It’s just pure monotony. It’s BORING, and Shadow Milk would do anything not to be bored.
shadow milk x reader where he’s drained of powers after being released and stumbles upon an ordinary cookie (y/n cookie) who helps him get used to it. do you see the vision
bonus, an even more self indulgent detail: y/n has a progressive disability ^_^ so they know what it’s like to lose the abilities you once had ^_^ sorry not sorry
This can be a situation of 'what if' since the five beast were the first ones then what if they would be the first who began with this whole yandere chaos like- they are the ultimates obsessive over y/n cookie the fallen heroes have the first and high level O_O

What If: The First.
Something has to start somewhere. Y/N Cookie is a figure beloved by all, sometimes even a little too much from certain, no wait, a large majority of the cookie population on Earthbread.
They’ve seen a lot from what levels of obsession could offer from simple clinginess to the alters and shrines many create amidst their sickly love.
Y/N Cookie was surprisingly no stranger to these gestures. After all, they’ve seen these similar types of obsessive love elsewhere.
Long ago, many years back….you were a Primordial Cookie alongside your long lasting companions, the Five Beast Cookies.
You remembered all the times you’ve had with them.
The times you laughed. Shadow Milk Cookie would tell you many things about this world, but he also liked to sprinkle in some humor too. He’d even do a sort of jester act by using a puppet show, it never failed to make you chuckle at least once…
The times you chose to help others that made Mystic Flour Cookie warm with you. Your choices to make decisions that befitted your Virtue of Compassion was something of a spectacle for her. She adored that you did not question anything about showing compassion for others, some things don’t always have to come down to choice.
The times you felt safe. Red Spice and Silent Salt Cookie were your protectors. You were a cookie of compassion, but that shouldn’t mean that cookies should push you around. It made the two cookies unhappy and advise the perpetrator to back off. Red Spice was all show while Silent Salt was all quiet, but both make sure that you wouldn’t get harmed under their watch.
The times you loved. Eternal Sugar Cookie was always happy to see you. Compassion and Happiness always worked well together, so it only made sense that you were the closest to her. She’d let you join her on her cloud as you two talked the day away, Eternal Sugar being happy that she got to spend time with you in any form.
Oh, how things went south when power corrupts.
One by one, their will crumbled under the weight of their own strength. The Five became twisted apostles of evil and brought forth darkness and devastation.
This corruption had also brought upon unfortunate side effects to their love for you, twisting and change until it’s nothing but sickly and dark.
Shadow Milk Cookie embraced deceit into his heart, controlling and manipulating the cookies around you. His plan to make you belong to him would be to drive everyone you knew away from you whether it be by his twisted mind tricks or more lethal methods. You’d have no one left but him…
Red Spice Cookie only brought nothing but destruction to whoever dared to challenge his sick obsession with you. No cookie could ever survive an encounter with him, only reduced to smoldering crumbs on the ground. No cookie has ever loved you like he has, because there’d be no one left that could…
Silent Salt Cookie’s protectiveness reached insane levels you’d never expect from them. Cookies that so much as raise a hand in your presence are swiftly cut down by Silent Salt. Cookies can’t even look at you without Silent Salt putting an end to their existence. Their worry for you, and you overall, was worth the lives they stomped on.
No other cookie mattered to Mystic Flour Cookie anymore that wasn’t you. She just didn’t see why you should care for any of these insignificant specks of grain as she casually waves her arm, reducing the whole landscape around her into nothing. No longer did choice matter to her, the decisions she once valued mean little to her if it didn’t help you or her out.
What was once happiness has now turned into a deadly and sickly obsession with you. Eternal Sugar Cookie’s mind hazed with nothing but thoughts of you, unable to get you out of her mind. NEVER wanting to get you out of her mind. Only you could get her off her cloud, she’ll simply yawn and turn away anyone else. She believes her love for you triumphs above anyone else, gleefully obliterating anyone who thinks could challenge her…
You can still hear their screams and shocked gasps when the Creators locked them away, their pained cries and shouts all becoming static in your head.
The Ancient Heroes…
They’ve done well in resisting the temptation of power unlike your former comrades, their affection remaining moderate as a result.
Shadow Milk Cookie would call Pure Vanilla Cookie a Himbo. Derogatorily.
Silent Salt Cookie is actually quite fond of White Lily Cookie, while the other beasts DESPISE the ones who own their soul jam.
Eternal Sugar Cookie may look like a graceful angel, but they're vulgar as hell and will cuss a bitch out if their bored, which is all the time.
Burning Spice Cookie wanted Capaicin Cookie to inherit their soul jam, but it went to Golden Cheese Cookie and he was peeved. (double this with the hc that capsaicin is older than he seems.)
Mystic Flour Cookie founded the St. Pastry Order, but the meanings of the texts changed and were interpreted differently over time, causing the cult we see today. If they saw it today, they'd burn it to the ground.
