Do with as you will👹

Embracing Feelings and Family (Rayleigh x gn!winged!child!reader)

A/N: Not sure how to feel about this one., I think is really mid, maybe it’s just because of the dark nature of the piece itself but idk. I think this goes without saying based on the request but beware of the dark undertones of this piece as it portrays human slavery and auctioning. I couldn’t come up with something for mihawk so I went with our favorite grandpa

Dividers by @/saradika

“Up next, we have ourselves a true rarity! This one will blow your minds; we have a winged child! You can fly it around as you want or even have them carry you around the skies! They can even deliver you special things in a fraction of a time!” The announcer enthusiastically explained

“Let us start the bid at 10 Million Berry! Who offers 10 Million Berry?!”

“Let me go, you Jerks! Im not an item!” The child growls, banging on the cage’s bars

Charlos awes childishly before throwing out the first bid

“It’s a big Bird! It’s a Big Bird! 50 million Berry!” He yelled out joyfully before waving happily to the child in the cage

“Grandpa will get you all! Grandpa will save me, you gross creeps!”

The bidders ignore the child’s threats, continuing to bid

“60 million!” A man in the back screams

“80 million!” Another man hollers back

“I’ll do 800 million!” Charlos shouts back while waving his arms frantically in the air excitedly

“D-Does somebody bid any higher?”

“800 million….” “Awe, man, I was excited to have it too!” The crowd mutters

“Going in 3!

Going in 2!

Going in 1!

Sold!

The winged child goes to Saint Charlos for 800 million berry!”

Reader screams as they open the door to their cage and begin pulling on the chains, trying to pull them out and take him toward Charlos.

“Don’t touch me!” They sneered, throwing a kick toward the handler that was closest to them

The handler dodges out of the way and gives them a look.

“Rude little one, don’t bite the hand that feeds you!” The handler growls

“You have just been bought for a very generous amount of money for no one less than a Saint himself! A nobody like you should be Grateful!” They turn towards The Saint and bow

“A-Apologies for its insolence Saint Charlos; if I may, I’ll gladly teach it some manners for you; no need to trouble someone of your status to teach slaves some tricks.”

Charlos groans, sticking his finger in his nose.

“Could you hurry it up? I want to fly it!”

“Yes, Yes, of course; im sure you must be extremely busy, Saint Charlos. I promise not to take more time than is needed!” they assure him, turning around towards the child

“Now come here, you stupid brat,” they growl, raising a baton towards them.

“You will learn to listen!" the exclaim, bringing the baton down, but instead of receiving a blow, the man before them falls to the ground, knocked unconscious.

Reader sighs with relief when the man falls to the ground, the people in the auctioning house following the familiar pattern they have come to expect from their grandpa’s powerful Haki

“Grandpa!” They say, trying to flutter their way to Rayleigh but are cut short due to the chains binding them, causing them to plummet to the ground

“Ow”

“Geez, Reader.”

Rayleigh sighs calmly as he wrenches the chains from them easily, not paying any mind to the explosions that followed once they were removed.

“You seem to be able to get yourself in all kinds of trouble,” He says calmly as he sets the child back down

“Haven’t I told you not to get near this place and much less showing off those wings of yours?”

“What was it this time?” He asks as he looks them over for injuries

“I tried to fly higher…but a wind current caught me, and I couldn’t get myself out from it; it dragged me here, and they brought me here.”

“A wind current?” Rayleigh asks curiously

“One strong enough to drag even you, that’s pretty surprising, to say the least,” He says as he continues to look them over

“Are you alright? Have you sustained any injuries?”

“Im okay.”

“Alright, good to know,” He says as he scoops them up and leaves the wretched place.

“That must have been scary, huh? Im sorry it took me so long to get there; my body doesn’t move the way I want to anymore.”

“I wasn’t scared,” they mutter

“It’s okay, you know.”

“What?”

“To be scared for one’s life from time to time it’s not something one should be ashamed to admit; it doesn’t make us any less brave; you have the right to be scared, just as much as you have the right to be brave.”

“Your feelings are real; you shouldn’t deny them,” He says as he continues to carry them

They stare at him as their eyes begin to water

He smiles gently

“Just let it out, Reader; no one will think less of you for being scared.”

They hug him tighter, diving their head in his shirt as sobs start escaping them

“T-They kept calling me ‘it,’ they kept saying how they would fly me around like I was a kite,” they sob

He ran his fingers through their hair while he let them continue to cry, hugging them back tightly as he did.

He couldn’t help the anger he felt rising when thinking about what had happened inside the auction house

He rubs their back gently as he continues to walk

“Nothing that they told you in it is true; Reader, do not listen to their words; you are invaluable and your own person, not someone to be owned,” He says

“I -I know b-but the way they said it, they meant it, Grandpa; I was nothing but an item for them to use in their eyes.”

He pulls them a bit more tightly as he did

"I know, some people are like that, wretched beings who enjoy stepping in other people and causing them misery simply because they can."

“You are someone special to me; always remember that; you are the biggest treasure for me and your grandmother,” He says gently as they rub their back

"Now what do you say we go back to the shack and ask Grandma to make you your favorite drink?" they offer, chuckling when they feel the child nooding

"Can we add extra chocolate to it?"

"Anything you want, Reader," he smiles, knowing that it would take a long time and effort to build their confidence and sense of security back to where it was after everything that had happened, but they would get there together.

Ya’ll I have summoned my choice wheels to do some platonic!reader x character, not child reader, normal age reader but still platonic 👀 Had to fight to find some good roulettes.

I don't like the argument that because original Oko is at a higher rarity on a bonus sheet, it's impact in Limited is minimal so it's fine. Not everyone plays on Magic Arena and does Limited events dozens of times. Some people only play Limited in paper a couple times or at a pre-release and it's extremely discouraging when the one or two times you play limited, you get bodied by a notoriously OP card that isn't even a mechanically new card. Magic makes numerous different products, various products where they can reprint cards that aren't also used for Limited (i.e. collector boosters, FNM promos, Secret Lair, pre-constructed Commander decks) or even high powered reprint Masters sets that can be drafted. I don't see why Oko needed to be in the Play Boosters and I thought the same about Ragavan in March of the Machine. If it's thematically important to release the reprint associated with the set, then why not just do it in collector boosters? One thing I don't like about all of these bonus sheets is it means in nearly every limited environment with them, the best and most powerful cards are oftentimes old cards that I'd played with or against rather than the new cards I want to be excited for.

Let's see what the Question Mark's think about this specific topic.

Catch me and I'll follow — Soapghost wingfic

@rainerestored I can't think of any ways to pin this on you, but I'm still blaming you for it anyways 🥰

To say that cross-species relationships were shunned would not quite be correct. Was it a rarity to find? Yes.

But that's mostly due to differing courtship rituals. For example a pair of kestrels courtship behavior will obviously be different from some type of waterfowl courtship.

Obviously with dedication and a bit of hard work these differences can be bridged.

The beginning of Soap and Ghost's relationship was rocky to say the least. A hawk and an eagle? Not the largest species gap that's been heard of, but they've got their differences.

Ghost had to give credit where credit was due, and say soap's learning curve was steeper than his own. After all a straight freefall until just before sudden death just might be a bit harder than a game of follow the leader. Putting everything that wasn't physical aside, it was all about learning timing and coordination, and trusting your partner. There's also the added bonus of improving and learning new flight skills/ability

Old advice from generations back would have said to just scrap both courting rituals or to choose one (the easiest). But both soap and ghost have agreed that that only breed a hostile relationship that's destined to fail.

Meaningful courtship is important for maintaining a healthy relationship, especially if they aren't mono-spec. See, on ghost's end it was a show of trust and competence among other things. On soap's end it was it was a sign of willingness, and it builds a kind of understanding between partners. And for all multi-spec relationships it also shows a general dedication, and want for the relationship.

The put in the work and the hours. Did as much research as they could. Communicated their wants and needs, and what they could or could not do.

They started small. Soap took the initiative to start introducing himself to Ghost's traditions. The first time they did it was a 15 foot drop over water side by side, just to prove that they both could, and to see their limits. The next drop was higher, several wingspans higher, side by side.

The traditional method (the most dangerous) of the death spiral was for both partners to to fly way up high, all the way to their altitude limit, then they'd intertwine their legs, and free fall. Obviously physics caused the spinning due to differing weight. It was a massive show of strength, self-control, natural instinct, and trust, to accomplish a successful death spiral.

Now, in modern times, there is technology that makes such courtships much less dangerous. That's not to say the traditional method is no longer used. But interlocking flight boots did make cross-species courtship easier for some parties. The learning curve was still steep, but it was one step made just a bit easier.

After the were both comfortable with the companioned free fall they donned the interlocking boots and began to test out short spurts of joined free fall from high altitudes. At first they released after only a few short secinds of spinning, but slowly the time before they released grew longer and longer and the distance from the ground grew shorter.

Eventually after years of working at it, and practice, and repetition, it became almosts second nature to soap. To follow a only wingflap behind ghost as they rose higher and higher into the sky, then to lock themselves together, and let the wind scream past their ears as they spiraled towards the ground, so that they could release only a few wingspans away from sudden death.

Soap isn't the only one learning though, sure his job was harder, but that doesn't negate Ghost's efforts. He's never learned had to follow so close behind anyone before. He's never had to learn to swoop and dive in tandem with someone else, like he has to with soap. He's never had to follow and lead in this push-pull type of courting.

At first he felt clumsy, too large, not agile enough. It seemed like he bumped, and knocked into everything as he struggled to keep up with soap. He tangled and fought with brambles and branches. And when the broke free into open air he overshot, and soap struggled to keep close behind.

The first time they tried to fly together ghost shot into the air, and soap was panting by the time he'd caught up. Then soap dived down into the thicket of trees. Ghost had tried to follow right behind him, but he'd never had to fly in such close quarters before. He'd nearly flown face first into a bundle of branches, had to duck low to avoid it and had promptly gotten stuck in an overgrown thorn bush, and soap was dusting him in the wind.

It took lots of trial an error to learn how to tuck his wings close to get through the gaps soap practically soared through. It had taken him ages to figure out how to perfectly fit soap into his slipstream to give him more lift. It had taken weeks of watching and following soap to learn how to circle and swoop and to lead as flawlessly as soap

Now, after years and years of learning, and flying, and learning some more, their courtship rituals looked like a perfectly laid out dance.

The way their flight paths twined together as they rose straight up into the air, as high as the could go. The way the locked "talons" and plummet towards the ground in terrifying spirals until they were mere meters from death. Where upon they'll catch themselves with open wings, a feather's width away from eachother. The way they perfectly mirror each other as they snake through trees, and vines, and along cliff faces.

Their monthly courting flights have become somewhat of an, unintentional, spectacle. A private, ordered to 'find' their drill Sergent's pine cone, had stumbled across them on one of their flights. News spread fast over the next few months. Not so silent whispers through the halls of base, that kicked up whenever they walked by.

"Have you seen the lieutenant fly with the Sergent?"

"Never seen a hawk do a death spiral before, you should see it next time"

"I didn't know an eagle could fly like that"

"The stunts they pull are crazy"

It's not that they minded the whispers per-say, no, they knew how to deal with distraction and what not. It's just that when a crowd had shown uo to their next courting flight...

Ghost had never courted anyone before soap. Soap had courted before just... just not compatibly. So to suddenly go from whaterver they had before, to a live action show infront of an audience, was a little uncomfortable at first.

Now they usually put in for some time off to do their flight together. Usually somewhere an hour or two flight off base. That's not to say that they do put on the occasional show for everyone on base. Just that they prefer it to be a more private matter.

I kinda want to write more on this but I also want to experiment with other species and situations

Here's an example of a 500-word commission as I finish my ko-fi and patron commissions. They're available on my ko-fi.

“Hand me the bone shavings,” Rowan says, squinting down into the bowl they’re using for mixing.

You survey the assorted jars and bottles and reach for one filled with a powdered white substance.

“No, no. That’s bone powder.” They correct you, reaching across you to grab a jar you’d missed off to the side, “These are bone shavings.”

“Is there an important difference?” Your brows furrow, “And…whose bones?”

“It’s not a human’s bones. Likely deer or cattle.” Rowan gives you a dry but amused glance, “And when it comes to a potion that causes erosion, shavings are a necessity. The powder doesn’t pack the same punch, so to speak.”

You’re perched on a stool next to them, watching them crush and heat and stir. Ingredients are strewn about Rowan’s workspace, and you enjoy seeing them in their element.

“Don’t you crush them up regardless?” You raise an eyebrow, giving the mortar and pestle a pointed look.

“They’re melted, not crushed.” Rowan corrects, lighting a fire beneath the mixing bowl without even snapping their fingers.

Their magical aptitude is…breathtaking. You’d been told you were a powerhouse all your life, and you can only surmise that Rowan is at your level or higher in terms of raw magical potential.

“What do you plan on using an erosion potion on?” You freeze briefly, eyes widening, “People?”

Rowan pauses in their actions, looking at you incredulously, “Really? People?”

“It’s a fair assumption,” You flush red, “I saw you summon a spirit inside a man’s chest one time. He exploded.”

Rowan blinks, “I did do that, didn’t I?”

“Yes, you did.” You huff, crossing your arms, “So I think my question was warranted.”

“You might be correct,” They concede, which is a rarity in and of itself, “To clarify, the use of an erosion potion can be to eat through castle gates, render weapons ineffective…things of that nature.”

“Ah.” You brows raise, “Alchemy is…more useful than I imagined.”

“So it is,” Rowan gives you a small smile, “I’m glad our chats can be enlightening.”

“I come here for more than chatting,” You say, before realizing exactly how that sounds and feeling the heat rush to your face.

“Oh? And what else do you come here for?” Rowan raises an eyebrow, their full and undivided attention now placed solely on you.

“Um,” You swallow, glancing away, “You, I suppose.”

They blink, their face softening just a bit. Their potion is forgotten as they turn toward you.

“And I’m thankful you do,” They admit quietly, “I enjoy your presence, even if you only pester me with questions.”

“I can always go pester Orion.” You offer.

“Perish the thought.” They wave a hand, their smirk bordering on playful, “I’ll keep my inept assistant here at my side.”

“Inept?” You can’t help a quiet laugh, “Apologies if my lack of skill in alchemy is too much of a burden.”

You had meant it playfully, yet all traces of amusement flee Rowan’s face at the words.

“You’re not a burden, never a burden.” They say firmly, golden eyes flashing with some unknown emotion.

It’s clear the words has some baggage, at the very least. So you nod, and they turn back to their work. From your view of their profile, you can see the beginnings of a deep red flushing along the tips of their ears and you know their unintentional vulnerability was not something only you noticed.

When they ask for the next ingredient, charcoal, you pass them the jar with a shy grin. Your fingers brush theirs and they pause for a moment longer than necessary, just staring at the place where your hands touch.

You feel warm all over from the briefest graze against them, and you aren’t watching their potion for the rest of the evening. Instead, your eyes are locked on their face; the curve of their smirk, the furrow of their brows. You find you’re quite happy to stay exactly where you are.

Ok, if you, like me, were in the minority of people who didn’t immediately fall in love with One Dark Window… like, the consistent rave reviews popping up on various algorithms have been simultaneously confusing and making you feel very left out? Well, I’ve got news!

In my humble opinion, Two Twisted Crowns (book 2) is mostly a total knock out. I obvi gotta sit with it longer (I just finished at 3am)… revisit some exceptional quotes that left ya girl blushing (dresses were almost ripped).

Duologies can feel like such a mercy in the fantasy space and looking at the series as a whole, i’d now happily recommend it to anyone not looking to tackle a new 3-6 book series/investment at this time. Also a good one for newbies to the genre. It also isn’t just another copy-paste SJM variant and that almost feels like a rarity with the big new releases.

Book one, I really struggled with the messy (albeit cool on the surface) magic system, the constant rhyme thing felt really hokey and made me struggle to get into the writing (which is mostly very good), the MCs were outshined by the side characters and just weren’t really my type, and the pacing is so odd like - sometimes so slow and sometimes so fast - it’s like, “Wait hi, I need more info please.”

25% into book 2 I genuinely thought, “I think more has already happened in this book than in all of book 1.” And that’s when I realized I was hooked and in for a late night.

Book two is action-packed and the plot is operating on so many levels - thanks in part to more povs. Ironically, part of me was like so grateful I had read book one, even if I didn’t like it, so I “knew the rules,” and could run along this faster-paced, more ambitious book 2.

Obviously I think the magic system, and general world building, was infinitely more successful in TTC. Gillig just used the framework and the lore with a higher level of craft and focus. We scaled back on the goofy rhymes - tho not entirely lol. But I credit the attention paid to the world/magic as a big part to why I read this whole thing in an evening! It felt like a really unsatisfying missing piece from ODW and, clearly, with that amended I more than liked it! I got that unmistakable all-consuming euphoric rush that only binging a great fantasy can give you.

*spoilers ahead*

I would also be fully lying if I said that what made this book work for me wasn’t just… the big focus on Elm and Ione. Yes, I had to google that name pronunciation for my own sanity at a certain point. But within their plot, in particular, I was like “ok, now this is what I call a magic system.” I have no idea why this same concept was just utilized and pulled off so much more successfully in their narrative arc… but it was. I still liked the odyssey into the woods with Ravyn and the Nightmare, but I fully credit Elm and Ione for making me love this book. Did I miss Elspeth a lot… I plead the fifth.

The Elm-Ione romance had everything I was missing in ODW! Like hot, hot tension. Sexy build up. And idk their growth and stories and strength genuinely made THIS tender little reader shed a tear. Their dynamic felt really honest and fresh and different. I’ve been getting a little burnt out by copy and paste romantic plots, in fantasy in particular, so these two took me by surprise. Yeah, I was just kind of floored by their romantic journey.

What can I say, I’m weak for an emotionally intelligent boy who can communicate his need to be topped (and like traumas and other things). Some of their build up tension scenes had me blushing the hardest any book has made me blush in 2023. RIP OFF THAT DRESS BABY!!!

Anyway, if you felt gaslit by the hype around ODW, but you already read it, I’m hear to say that TTC is more than worth it. You’ve already made it that far, what do you have to lose?

Unless your me who is going to be feeling that decision to not go tf to bed!

I was reading about the 1* bard again because she's funny as hell, and just found out they adjusted Chaive's talent (on CN) to only affect robots!! Like yes that was always the intent but it ruins the ability to reuse a wombo stun/fragile with her and Thermal (and Castle buffing the boom). I'm inconsolable but will still try this with them when I can even though she suffers the one star redeploy

Yeah I saw this coming when they did this change for Chiave a few months back and sure enough, the Palicos from Monster Hunter were our first 1 stars that were not robots. It's another perfect detail that adds to how delightfully awful she is.

But, think about it another way. This DOES open up the possibility for higher rarity robot operators. Maybe a battlebot controlled by Closure? She IS officially listed as an operator even if she normally just manages engineering and day to day maintenance.

Also, I actually think Eureka will have a niche. The ability to stun their own allies used to be unique to Conviction's S2 when everyone runs their S1, and stunning your allies can be quite useful if an enemy's passing by that you don't want to attack (such as a flagbearer, or a Seaborn pocket crawler) or block (like Gopnik). you could also always just run her with Lumen (another welfare! it's free synergy!) so as soon as her stunbomb hits both enemies and allies, Lumen slaps your operators awake immediately and you get a free 7.5 second beatdown on the enemy.

Smut Prompt (10/?)

Prompt: "No one can ever find out about this."

this goes out to @zaunitearchives who requested this prompt ilu muahmuah

Pairing: Viktor x afab!Reader

Tags: porn with feelings, mutual pining

public sex (lab), under the desk shenanigans, nervous subby-ness to dom viktor, fingering, finger sucking, p in v, improvised tie-gag, big dick viktor agenda, viktor scrambles reader's brain, dick-drunk reader

Word Count: 3.2k

Reading time: 12 min

Translation: cizrnko - chickpea (self-indulgent nickname 🥰)

“You two are staying late?” Jayce was packing up for the night as you and Viktor sat next to each other still studying a new blueprint.

“Hm..? Oh yes y/n you may leave if you wish. I’m almost done.” Viktor rested his cheek on his fist as he flipped the blueprint to inspect the other side.

“Sure.” Jayce sighed.

“I think I’ll stay too. We can finish up quicker that way.” You reasoned and Jayce nodded before leaving the lab with a goodnight.

You moved your chair closer to him to share the prints of your projects.

“I’m so excited about this project. I have been trying to figure out how we could incorporate elements from your designs to make them capable of practical use, I just can’t understand how you come up with these designs all the time Viktor. It’s like you never sleep.” You commented as your fingers brushed over one of his sketches.

Viktor chuckled. “Maybe I don’t.” He leaned in closer to you.

He smelled like soap and shampoo with a hint of cinnamon from the many cups of the sweet flavored coffee he loved. His arm was close enough to touch. You would be lying if you said you didn't want to feel his skin against yours.

“Or maybe it is because they are so captivating. I find inspiration in them, even when I attempt to rest.” Viktor looked up at you. Your mind went blank as your gaze met his own. You felt overwhelmed and your face was hot as you slowly turned away from him and returned your focus to your work.

"Y/n?" Viktor asked in a quiet voice, "Did I say something wrong?" His head tilted ever so slightly.

You shook your head quickly, attempting to mask your fluster, "No! Nothing is wrong, Viktor." The warmth returned to your cheeks.

You must have made a contradictory expression as he continued, "Are you sure? You haven't been this quiet since we started."

"Just a long day is all." You replied while looking down at your work.

Viktor nodded in understanding before turning his head from you to the window to stare out into the darkening sky. You watched him, noting how beautiful he was illuminated by the dim light. Your heart burned as he turned around to catch your staring.

"What's on your mind?" He asked, breaking the silence.

You blinked, "Nothing really. Just thinking about what we can do next. The things we can change."

Viktor hummed in response, "I'm excited to see what you'll discover. What we’ll discover." A warm smile spread across his lips. You had seen it a few times but never quite realized just how much you enjoyed seeing it, given the rarity of the occurrence.

You two quickly decided to continue working and you sat in silence, both diligent and focused, or at least Viktor had. Perhaps he was blissfully unaware of how stupidly attractive he was. Maybe he didn’t notice your wandering eyes or awkward fidgeting. Your eyes found themselves magnetized to his profile again, his hands, where the hair met the nape of his neck –

– The way his nose scrunched when he frowned was adorable. His mouth was always slightly agape while in thought, a slight pout and the gap of his teeth showing. You noticed how the brightening moonlight reflected off his skin, making it appear to glow like porcelain.

How his eyes would sparkle when he saw something he loved. He had such an effect on you, that you were sure his beauty was a gift bestowed upon him by some higher power.

“Are you staring again?"

He knows.

"Huh?" You turned away from his gaze and back to the blueprint you were previously examining.

“You do that when my face wasn’t turned towards you, It's cute.” Viktor chuckled. “You must be really distracted.” He gestured to the paper in front of you. “You aren't one to make such a mistake under typical circumstances.”

You weren’t sure if Viktor meant to touch you when he reached over to grab the quill going unused in your hand, but you were surprised enough to accidentally pull your hand away. The collision caused him to drop the quill underneath the desk.

“Oh! Shit, I’m sorry, let me,”

“Y/n that's not necessary I-” You were already underneath the desk before Viktor could finish his sentence, your knees knocked together awkwardly as you dropped down.

You grabbed the quill out from under the desk and handed it to Viktor who took it gingerly. He turned to look at you, eyebrows raised quizzically, face red. You felt heat rise into your cheeks.

“Here.”

Viktor held the quill like it was made of glass, unsure of how to proceed. You watched in amusement, trying to ignore the warmth in your chest and elsewhere.

“Thank you, Y/n…”

There was little space to maneuver underneath the desk and with your attempt to steady yourself, your hands fell onto his legs, with a small gasp from the man above you.

His reaction sparked confidence in you as you squeezed his thighs before trailing your palms up to his lap, you started to notice the warmth your bodies created underneath the desk, he looked down mouth agape and eyes wide.

"Y/n, are you alright?" He asked more in an attempt to compose himself than to check in with genuine concern.

So flustered, so pliant, you continued your experimental touches, rubbing and squeezing the flesh of his thighs through his pants, you could feel him growing warmer.

You saw he began to strain at the groin of his pants before he threw the quill onto the desk mindlessly and placed his hands over the tent in his pants.

"This isn't … I did not intend to" He fumbled "I'm so sorry y/n."

"So you wish for me to stop then?" You attempted eye contact with him as he turned his head to the side, breathing heavily, undoubtedly contemplating how he should proceed with you.

You two were close, yes, but this? This was unexpected, even to you. You both are bold to be sure, the tension between you had stretched thin to a mere thread, destined to break at this moment, he has only to ask.

"So it was your intention then?"

You answered with a curt nod, looking at him with half-lidded eyes.

"In that case, please... don't stop." His hands returned to the desk, opening and closing his fists, unsure what the do with them as you worked his buttons, and pulled him from his underwear with a slap against his skin, his cock reached nearly below his belly button, thick and long, and a peachy color reddening at the tip. His hips dotted beautifully with moles, beckoning to be tasted.

And how could you deny such an invitation?

"Mmh... Yn?" He breathed, and you raised your eyebrows and hummed in response. "No one can ever find out about this."

"Not a soul," You whispered against his skin sending a shiver through him.

Your lips pressed against the first, your tongue reaching out to leave a wet caress trailing from one mole to the other before backing away and you took notice of one on his lower shaft, and one just below the head.

He whimpered above you, his hands in perpetual fists as your breath warmed his cock before you kissed and licked up and down his thick shaft.

"Shit-" He hissed as he threw his head back, giving you a breathtaking view of his neck and the curls that surrounded it. "Ah I mean- pardon me-" You took his head into your mouth, twirling your tongue playfully around the swollen glans, "-fuck!"

He seemed unable to hold himself upright and he collapsed against the desk, you could hear the papers crumple and a few flew off, floating in the air for a moment before they reached the ground.

His fingers threaded themselves through your hair tugging gently. He grunted again as his hips bucked, fucking himself into your mouth filling your throat causing you to gag, and he choked out an apology. Your eyebrows furrowed and eyes bleary as you forced your throat to fit him, and he whined a pleasured cry at the feeling of your throat constricting impossibly tight around him.

It was a sight to behold, being the cause of his erudite mind descending into complete disarray.

You could see the muscle flex in his abdomen while his fingers moved along your jawline, cautiously grasping your head, examining your expression before continuing to press your head lower onto his cock.

It felt wonderful, so warm and smooth beneath your tongue. He groaned again, this time louder and more demanding. His head arched back and his back bent inwards, causing his hips to thrust upwards.

A few moments after you bobbed your head and wetted his cock nearly to the base, your tongue moved slowly upwards towards his tip sucking at his head once more, collecting the slick precum on your tongue.

"Y/n... I- may I take you in earnest?" He caressed your jaw as it hung open.

"And what exactly do you have in mind, hm?" You stroked the underside with your fingertips, and more of his pre-cum swiped against his belly, sticking to his happy trail, leaving him biting his lip before wheeling the stool back with his heels.

He reached his hands out to you and you held them, warm and big, his hands nearly engulfing your own as he pulled you out from under the desk.

His thumbs caressed your knuckles as he leaned in to press his lips against your own, surprisingly chaste for a man who just had his dick in your mouth.

His hands released yours and slid down to your ass, pulling you closer to him and you felt his length press against your body eliciting a lewd groan from Viktor into your mouth leading to an open-mouthed kiss.

You grasped at the base of his neck and threaded his locks through your fingers with a gentle tug.

He pressed kisses all around your mouth, peppering them lightly against your cheeks and jaw, his nose brushing against your earlobe, savoring your taste and scent.

You delighted in every second of his undivided attention, allowing him a rare chance at tasting you and exploring your mouth until he was completely lost in the sensation. He pushed you back until you hit the desk behind you, causing you to moan at the feel of his weight pressing against you.

You brought your hands to his hair grasping eagerly to push his mouth closer to yours and he backed away with a pant, a look of pensiveness on his face.

“Y/n, there is something I must say before we continue this… exchange.” his fingers trailed from your arm to your shoulder. “I would not think any less of you if this were to be a casual encounter, but I must be entirely honest with you y/n,” The back of his fingers caressed your cheek lightly, “I… I love you.”

The words hung heavy in the air, a mixture of anticipation and uncertainty, almost as though it were the first time he'd said it aloud.

"You do?" You almost wanted to smack yourself for the cliched response but his hand grasped yours tighter and the other held your face up to look at him.

"Yes. I wanted more than anything to tell you since the beginning, but I was too afraid you wouldn't reciprocate my feelings." He looked at his feet. "That I would have ruined something good if you did not."

It sounded so rehearsed, so practiced, but you couldn't deny the way his hand trembled as it held yours. You leaned forward placing a tender kiss on his lips.

"I love you too. I have for some time." You chuckled, "If I'm being honest, I thought you knew." His fingers tightened their grip on you slightly and he smiled, releasing a breathy laugh into your mouth.

"I'm afraid affairs of love are a blind spot of mine, darling." He planted another kiss on your lips, "But we can work on this together,"

"We'll have plenty of time for that afterward." You leaned in to leave a kiss on his cheek, then whispered into his ear, "won't we?"

You felt him shudder at your touch. "Ah, of course, cizrnko."

"Cizrnko-?" You questioned.

"Just something I feel suits you..." He reasoned before burying his head into the crook of your neck, his hands continued to explore your torso sending chills through you.

You allowed your arms to wrap around him, holding him close against you.

You could still remember when you'd first started falling for him, the butterflies and flutters of affection you felt whenever he was around you, those same feelings resurfacing now. The way he made you feel, the way he made you want to be near him, the way he made you feel safe.

You loved him.

You wanted him more than anything.

His hands fell lower and lower, and he backed away from your neck slowly, "Can I touch you?"

You yearned for more of his attention, more of his touch. The warmth between your legs becomes nearly unbearable. "Please,"

He obliged palming you through your pants and making you shudder. His hand was so big, the friction was overwhelming and you moaned, your back arching as you tried to catch your breath.

"You like that don't you?"

"Ngh..." You nodded.

"You want me to touch you properly, don't you?" He pressed a kiss to your neck, nibbling softly, and then sucked on your pulse point eliciting a gasp from you. "Say it... Say you want me to fuck you with my fingers."

"Viktor please..." You moaned, the feeling almost foreign to you. His hand slipped inside of your pants, his fingers rubbing against your clit making you arch your back into his grasp.

"Shh.. as much as I want to hear you we have to be quiet." He hushed. Your breath quickened as he began to pump his fingers inside of you, his palm rubbing over your clit, and your legs spread more for him, meeting the thrusts of his long fingers.

You bit your lip trying to suppress a whimper, but a sharp intake of breath escaped your lips when he began to move faster, rubbing circles around your bud between each thrust, the pad of his digits pressing against your walls, hitting the spot that made you shake and clench around him.

"Shit... you're close?" He muttered. "Fuck... Y/n, come for me, let go for me." He growled, his fingers pressing harder against that spot, fucking you through your orgasm as you suppressed your moans. "Oh... you're so fucking good for me, cizrnko,"

He withdrew his fingers from you, examining them covered in your cum before licking the tip with a groan.

"So fucking good." He brought his fingers to your mouth, pressing them to your bottom lip, "Open."

And you did, his fingers slid into your mouth, sticky and sweet with your cum as he pressed them against your tongue. "Good, just like that." He praised "Now," He pulled his fingers from your mouth. "I am not quite finished with you yet," He grasped your ass pulling you off the edge of the desk and pulling your pants down "Turn around." He commanded and you did as he said, you bent over the desk giving him a good angle to take you. He grabbed your hips tightly, "Tell me if anything is too much, I want to make you feel good."

"Yes, yes please just- Ah-!" He pressed the tip against you, pushing in easily with your wetness. He hissed as he buried himself in your cunt, still pulsing from your last orgasm.

"Gods, y/n, I love how wet you are." He murmured as he thrust into you. His praise went through you like electricity and you let out a debauched moan.

"Fuck, y/n, I said you have to be quiet," He brought his hand around to cover your mouth "You have to," he repeated. You nodded as he fucked into you again and again.

"Mmmh," You whimpered against his palm.

You noticed his thrusts becoming erratic and uncalculated for a moment then a flash of red in his other hand grasped his un-done tie balled up.

"Put this in your mouth," He instructed, your mouth opened submissively as he placed the tie in your mouth.

Both his hands gripped your hips once more, using them to push you on and off his cock. He fucked you fiercely, making you collapse halfway onto the desk, your fingernails scratching at the metal.

He felt amazing, making you lose all coherent thought, it was all him, just him and his cock fucking you.

You were drowning in pleasure, drowning in the taste of him, drowning in the sound of his moans and grunts as he continued slamming into you and you could barely register it all because every part of you was focused solely on him. He filled you, making the heat in your stomach grow.

You felt the pressure building and you wanted more of it, wanted to get lost in his touch and in the feeling of his body on top of you, filling you completely, fucking you as if his own life depended on it. He took you by surprise by moving one of his hands down and stroking your clit chasing your orgasm.

Your knees buckled under you and you clutched at the desk trying to steady yourself as you came undone beneath him, mind-shattering and immense, the pleasure washing over you until you collapsed, sated, weak, and spent in his arms.

You were panting heavily as he continued to fuck you, still keeping a tight hold of the tie balled up in your teeth.

"Are you okay, cizrnko?" He asked, voice hoarse and ragged. You managed to nod against the desk. He pulled out and you whined, clenching around nothing.

He bent over you to take the tie from your mouth as he stroked himself. You turned around on the desk, spreading your legs and lifting your shirt to show your belly.

"Cum, please, I want to feel it." You begged, placing your hand on his own as he stroked faster. He came with a growl and it shot onto your stomach and pressed the head against your cunt, you felt the warmth of it spill into your opening.

You sighed contently before bringing your arms around his shoulders pulling him closer. and he ran a hand through your hair.

"Don't ever forget that I love you."

“Never," You whispered wrapping your arms around his chest, snuggling into his warm embrace, and resting your head against his chest. A soft smile spread across his face. He rested his cheek against the crown of your head.

"Sleep with me tonight?" He spoke quietly, running his hand over your hair.

"Sleep? I thought you never went to bed." You teased. He kissed your forehead.

"Maybe I don't... but with you? I fear I may never leave it."

Cookie Run: Kingdom - Why It Isn't in a Good State

Cookie Run: Kingdom is an action role-playing gacha game developed by Devsisters. It is the sixth game in the Cookie Run franchise and the most well-known Cookie Run game in the franchise.

The gameplay is simple; the player chooses five Cookies to put in your team and the player basically spams their skills. This is used in every game mode. The player can also build their Kingdom and collect resources to make their Cookies stronger and their Kingdom better.

The game unexpectedly became really popular in late 2021. It was everywhere and you cannot really escape it. I, myself even joined the game back in November when it was still popular. Although the game's popularity would slightly decline in mid 2022, the game was still good. This wasn't until March 2023 - where things started getting different.

As of late 2023, the game isn't the same as it was. The popularity of the game is declining and the game isn't in a good state. Why did this happen? Well, multiple things:

Super Epic Cookie Banner

-----------

The Super Epic rarity was introduced on May 3rd, 2022 with the release of Clotted Cream Cookie. Unlike the other higher graded Cookies, which are Ancient Cookies, Dragon Cookies and Legendary Cookies, Super Epic Cookies are below the mentioned rarities and are similar to Epic Cookies. As of right now, there are 7 Super Epic Cookies. Their appearances in the gacha are low. However, this may change as more Super Epic Cookies may come in future updates.

Previously, their banners were simple; the player must draw to get 8 items in order to meet the Super Epic Cookie. If they're lucky, they may have a chance of getting the Super Epic Cookie during the draw. This was used with Clotted Cream Cookie, Oyster Cookie and Sherbet Cookie until Stardust Cookie's release.

Starting with Stardust Cookie's release, their banners have been rebranded with a different method; much like the Epic Cookie and Ancient/Dragon/Legendary Cookie banner, the player must draw 10 times. However, the player will have to draw many times to reach the pity system, with the pity system being 5,000 - the player has to grind constantly because of this. This wasn't well-received by the player base as the rebranded banner is considered "overwhelming" to complete. The missions for both Stardust Cookie and Capsaicin Cookie's banner were like Moonlight Cookie's banner - completing another mission in order to unlock the next one. However, because Stardust Cookie's banner only ran for 20 days, we aren't given much time to complete it (and I haven't completed it too) . Thankfully, this was changed with Shining Glitter Cookie's and Crimson Coral Cookie's release. (and thanks to this change, I was able to reach the pity system during Shining Glitter Cookie's release and I have reached the pity system for Crimson Coral Cookie in just 16 days).

Many even thought Cookie Run: Kingdom is becoming pay-to-win - and they were right, which I will explain more. No reason was given for this change, but because the Super Epic Cookie banner was rebranded in the same month as the Cookie/Pet gacha from Cookie Run: OvenBreak, I assume this was because of Korean gambling laws. I may not be 100% correct, but this might be the reason for this change.

-----------

Packages

This has been an issue for a while, but has been noticeable recently.

For a game targeted to children, the packages, especially event packages, are REALLY overpriced, even for such minor things.

Where I'm from, which is Ireland, Sea Fairy Cookie and Black Pearl Cookie's Ultimate Crystal Jam Package costs €70. If the player can buy 3 per week, this adds up to 420.

Apparently, once you fully ascend a Legendary Cookie, the player gets a pop up where they can buy one copy of the ascended Legendary Cookie, 6,000 crystals and 30 legendary soul essence for over $100 DOLLARS. Yikes...

Yes. Devsisters need money, but the fact that the packages, especially the one above are overpriced is ridiculous and it is not going to give them much money. Not everyone is pay-to-win and not everyone can afford it. It's way too much and it just proves Devsisters are straight up greedy.

-----------

Lack of Decors/Paywalled Decors

Recently, Cookie Run: Kingdom has been slowly drifting away from its building aspect to focus on the battling side of the game. Even if there is a new decor, there is a 90% chance it's going to be paywalled or limited.

The lack of Cookie decors is noticeable recently, with the Cookies not receiving a decor of their own mostly being Super Epic/Epic Cookies. Meanwhile Pitaya Dragon Cookie has a decor. While Shining Glitter Cookie, Rockstar Cookie, Peppermint Cookie and Crimson Coral Cookie did receive a decor, the decor Shining Glitter Cookie and Rockstar Cookie is able to interact to is limited and paywalled while Peppermint Cookie's decor is also paywalled.

-----------

Crystal Jams

Crystal Jams are Magic Candies but for Ancient/Dragon/Legendary Cookies. They were introduced on August 9th, 2023 during the "A Mermaid's Tale" update. The conflict of Crystal Jams for Ancient/Dragon/Legendary Cookies is a good idea on paper. However, the way it is executed is very poor.

If the player is a free-to-play player, they can only go up to 7 battles per week in just one Cookie trial. If the player uses all of them up, the player cannot do anymore or do more battles in another trial. Therefore, it is very hard to focus on both Crystal Jams. Meanwhile, pay-to-win players can easily buy these overpriced packages and easily level up the Crystal Jam in just days.

If your Crystal Jam is level 15+, the player is able to access a feature that can make your Cookie stronger. This is called "Ascension Buffs". However, looking by the name, it requires ascension to make your Cookie stronger, and Ancient/Dragon/Legendary Cookies, being the highest graded Cookies, are very hard to obtain.

-----------

Lack of Rewards/Coupon Codes

Very little rewards and coupon codes have been given since March 2023. Before, we were given LOTS of rewards. In the "Triple Cone Cup", "Legend of Red Dragon" and "Summer Soda Rock Festival" updates, no coupon codes were given at all and most of the recent updates give out small rewards now. However, we were given a coupon code after months, being CRKINDONESIA. Be sure to redeem it before December 31 if you haven't.

-----------

Iridescent Shells and Snapdragon Cookie's Hatching the Dragon Egg

The Iridescent Shells is an event where you can collect three Gem Mermaids - Aquamarine Cookie, Gold Citrine Cookie and Mystic Opal Cookie. The conflict of this gacha, like Crystal Jams, is decent, but the way it is executed is really bad.

This gacha is described as the "worst" gacha in Cookie Run: Kingdom for various reasons:

The player can only go up to 30 tries if they're a free-to-play player. If the player wants more than 30 tries, the player has to pay for it.

The player has to randomly choose a shell. If the player chooses the wrong shell instead of the shell that has a Gem Mermaid, that's it. There is no second chance.

Even worse, the Gem Mermaids are limited. If the player does not have all of the mermaids in time, they go "bye bye" and you will never get them again. It's hideous.

Hatching the Dragon Egg

This was introduced during the second-half of the Legend of Red Dragon update. In this event, the player hatches the egg to obtain Snapdragon Cookie - a Special-graded Cookie for some reason. This isn't as bad as the Iridescent Shells gacha. The player can also super hatch the egg using the Searing Snapdragon Jellies. However, there is an issue:

There is no way to obtain the Snapdragon Jellies. The only option is, of course, pay. That's it. There are no weekly events that contain these jellies, Magic Laboratory does not have it and the shops do not have it. It's just having to pay the jellies for over $20.

What's the point of this item if you're not going to make it available to everyone? When is it going to be in other shops besides paying? I'm pretty sure the only time this was available to everyone was some events, but it was only available for the update.

-----------

Repetitive Updates

The last three updates have been the same thing; Special Episode, Hall of Encounter and Higher-graded Cookie > Special Episode, Hall of Encounter and Higher-graded Cookie and Special Episode, Hall of Encounter and Higher-graded Cookie. This was fine during "Legend of Red Dragon", but when this format was used in "Summer Soda Rock Festival" and "A Mermaid's Tale", it started to get repetitive. This might be the new format of the game's updates when a new Ancient/OvenBreak Legendary isn't released, and if so, it's going to make the game's updates less fun and more boring instead.

-----------

Lack of Optimization

This is a major issue since the games release. The game's optimization has been bad since the launch. However, due to Devsisters refusing to fix their game, it has gotten much worse with every new update. The game crashes constantly and it is really slow and the game is becoming unplayable for some (myself included in my 4 1/2 year old iPad), therefore, they would probably miss future updates. Many players have tried to do EVERYTHING - clearing up storage, lowering down graphics and fps, everything, but the game still runs terribly. Many have requested this in the Cookie Run: Kingdom Discord server, most reviews mentioned the lag, and yet the devs seem to be ignorant.

TL;DR: Cookie Run: Kingdom is becoming a more pay-to-win game and it is really slow. The devs are really ignorant to the mentioned issues. They are going to keep milking it, which will make the game's popularity drop even more.

The game NEEDS a major improvement from its current state if it wants to be good again; fix your really slow game, make actual fun updates than what we have gotten recently, focus more on decors, change the ascension buffs from crystal jams to promotion buffs, redesign the Super Epic Cookie banner by reducing the pity system to 3,500-3,000 and increase the rate for the featured Cookie and potentially reduce some of the costings of your packages, especially the 5A Legendary Cookie packages.

And that's the end of this blog. If there is any missing information I forgot to add, feel free to ask me to add missing information.

wait am I misremembering you made a post about dragon age half alf genetics? I can't find it. I thought it was interesting I forgot the wording but about the traits being dormant and stuff? Idk

Hello! Yes! I did make this post, it was an answer to another ask and I. Also cannot find it because tumblr’s search feature is god awful so I’m just going to. Repeat myself here. The original post was kind of messy anyway so here we go

Dragon Age Half-Elf Genetics Headcanon (aka: I rewrite half elf genetics in dragon age to be canon compliant in a way I don’t hate)

In Dragon Age, half elves work differently than they do in most other fantasy works that use elves and humans in that they do not exist. There are no half elves in the Dragon Age world, any elf/human hybrid comes out looking entirely human and that’s it

I, and from what I can tell the majority of the Dragon Age fandom, are not a fan of this. It’s boring, uncreative, and very obviously just there to explain how Alistair can have an elven mother despite not looking elven at all. In my opinion it’s fine on an individual basis, maybe with Alistair he does just look more human, but EVERY half-elf just looks human? Don’t like that

BUT

Supposedly, this is because elves are very magical and special and humans are not. So, because of this, when elven blood meets human blood the human blood cancels it out entirely, kind of like dousing a fire. To which I say…I still don’t like it but it’s better than “human genetics are just SO DOMINANT they EAT the elven genetics forever” throwing in a magical element at least gives us more to work with, but I still don’t like the idea that human/elf hybrids are literally always human

So. Here’s my solution

Half elves, in the traditional sense, still do not exist. The child will always look entirely human, or, more rarely, entirely elven.

See, when an elf and a human mate, and the child is born looking human, that elven blood is not gone, just dormant. Elven blood can lie dormant in a bloodline for generations before being “awoken.” This “awakening” is done in two ways: when it makes contact with more elven blood, or, the parent is exposed to strong magic

Most commonly, the blood is awoken by making contact with elven blood, usually when an elf-blooded human has a child with a full elf. This is what happens in the case of my Hawke as I like to believe the Hawkes have elven blood lying dormant somewhere in their linage. When my Hawke has a child with Fenris, that child is then born an elf to the surprise of everyone involved. It's not an unpleasant surprise just a "Huh, well that's weird"

But two elf-blooded human parents can still have an elven child. This happens to Miris, my secondary inquisitor, she was born an elf to two noble humans and abandoned near the Lavellan clan for it, claiming later the child died during birth. (unbeknownst to both her and the clan, they all assume her birth parents were city elves that could not care for her)

Unfortunately, that reaction is not an uncommon one, and that combined with the rarity of its occurrence means it’s practically unknown that this is possible

Elven blood being awoken from magical exposure is even more rare, but, surprisingly, it is better known. In fact it’s a very closely guarded secret by the Chantry.

It has been known to happen in circles. In the already undesirable case of a mage falling pregnant, there is a chance the child could be born an elf. It still is not a common occurrence in those births, but it has happened enough for the Chantry to grow paranoid at the possibility whenever its reported a mage is pregnant. The stronger the magical talent of the mage, the higher the chance. It's part of the reason accidental babies are taken from their mage mothers so quickly, the Chantry doesn't want them to realize their child is an elf.

What happens to those babies? It's... unknown. Most likely they are put in an alienage orphanage, or abandoned to the Dalish, though the truth may be darker.

There have also been cases of Templars having elven babies, which are also covered up by the Chantry. What happens to those children is up to their families discretion, the Chantry claims to have no involvement there at all.

Why does the Chantry do this? Because they don't know why it happens, or what it means for the elven race they've spent so long oppressing, and that scares them. They can't predict what would happen if this knowledge was made public, but they are too afraid of the possibility itself to risk the secret leaving their walls.

So that's the headcanon! I like it. I still like regular D&D style half-elves as well, this isn't meant to really be THE solution, just one possible interpretation. I might better tag this post so it doesn't get eaten by the search feature again...

Hey dear, would you happen to know how to level up faster? or should I just grind with the golden tags?

I would say yes, but unfortunetly that doesn't seem to work anymore?

It seems like every time I find a coord/tag combination that scores really well, if I try to use it again nobody joins my promise. I think in the last maintenance they implemented some sort of measure that prevents your promise from being seen if you try to use certain tags/coord combos more than once? Or at least it seems that way.

So right now my only advice is to just play whatever promises you can where your character is the center in a higher rarity coord, with matching teammates and a few matching tags here and there. Note that if nobody joins your promise within ten minutes or so, nobody probably ever will and you might as well cancel (seriously).

If anyone else has any insight please comment or reblog because I would like to know as well!

*ahem* No one asked but I'm going to talk about my favorite archetype to play anyway:

Aromas!

Its not competitive in any way, really, (too reliant on continuous spells/traps for the current meta) but it sure is fun (and that's all I care about, haha), and for a 5D's-era archetype, it's actually really pretty decent. When you see that the highest rarity is only 6*, you might be tempted to think otherwise, but with the phenomenal monster effects, they had to be nerfed somehow.

The basic premise: Gaining Life Points utterly destroys your opponent's field, hand, and graveyard.

Extra Deck:

Aromaseraphy Sweet Marjoram - 6* Synchro - 2200 ATK, 2000 DEF - When summoned, you can add one of three archetype continuous traps to your hand. Once per turn when you gain LP, you can destroy a card on your opponent's field. Any card you want. (Idk if this effect stacks as I only have one copy in Master Duel because she's UR. I really should craft another one if for no other reason than to find out, but I have not yet.)

Aromaseraphy Rosemary - 5* Synchro - 2000 ATK, 900 DEF - When you gain LP, you get to nullify the effect of one card on your opponent's field, monster or spell or trap, they are all up for grabs. When your LPs are higher than your opponent's, all Plant-type monsters on your field gain 500 ATK and DEF. And both of these effects stack. Which means you can potentially nullify the effects of three cards and grant all of your monsters 1500 ATK. Which is sick, by the way. I have done this.

Aromaseraphy Jasmine - Rank 2 Link - 1800 ATK - Can you say "card advantage"? When you gain LP, you can add one Plant-type monster from your deck to your hand. Also, when your LP are higher than your opponent's, this monster and any it points to cannot be destroyed by battle. You can also tribute one monster she points to to special summon a monster from your deck in DEF mode. (This is a great defense strat if you choose to run Chirubime but more on that later.) (Obviously if you're writing a 5Ds-era duel then you can't run her, but she is quite nice.)

Main Deck Monsters:

Aromage Bergamot - 6* Effect - 2400 ATK, 1800 DEF - This bad boy is 100% worth the single tribute. Once per turn when you gain LP, he gains 1000 ATK and DEF. If just being a beat-stick isn't good enough, ALL Plant-type monsters deal piercing damage when your LPs are higher than your opponent's. Goodbye, defense.

Aromage Marjoram - 5* Effect - 2000 ATK, 1600 DEF - You can special summon her from your hand if a Plant-type monster on your field is destroyed. If you do this, you can gain 500LP, and whenever you gain LP, you get to banish cards from your opponent's GY, one for every Aroma monster face up on your field. Goodbye, graveyard.

Aromage Rosemary - 4* Effect - 1800 ATK, 700 DEF - Admittedly I do use her for synchro fodder more than anything simply because in the easy duels I'm usually in with this deck, her first effect tends to hurt more than help which is that when you gain LP you have to switch the position of one monster on the field. Key words being have to. You don't get a choice so if you're not careful you end up having to switch your own. Her other effect, however, of your opponent not being allowed to use monster effects during battle, is slightly cooler and more helpful (especially depending on what type of deck you're battling against; once again, I'm usually in easy solo mode duels).

Aromage Cananga - 3* Effect - 1400 ATK, 1000 DEF - When your LP are higher than your opponent's, all of your opponent's monsters lose 500 ATK and DEF. You also get to bounce a spell/trap back to their hand when your gain LP. And, yes, these effects DO stack. So if you've got three on your field, all of your opponent's monsters lose 1500 ATK and DEF. (I've never had more than two on the field once, but still. The possibility is there, lol.) Goodbye, ATK points.

Aromage Jasmine - 2* Effect - 100 ATK, 1900 DEF - Can you say "card advantage" again? Once per turn when you gain LP you get to draw a card. If that wasn't enough, you can also summon an additional plant monster during your turn (when your LPs are higher than your opponent's). When combined with some other card effects, she makes it very easy to synchro summon 5*s very quickly. (I looped out all three 5* synchros in one turn once with her. That was sick.)

Aroma Jar - 1* Effect - 500 ATK, 400 DEF - This little guy is a great defender because when flip summoned he can't be destroyed by battle. (Doesn't....doesn't work in anime duels unfortunately then but hey.) During the End Phase of each turn, you gain 500 LPs. So he becomes a very handy way to quickly gain the LP advantage as well as proc'ing other effects during your opponent's End Phase.

Aromage Laurel - 1* Effect - 800 ATK, 0 DEF - Oh, this handy lil dude. When your LPs are higher than your opponent's, you can special summon him from your hand. If you gain LP, you can select another Plant-type monster on your field (including him) to treat as a Tuner until the End Phase. When he leaves the field for any reason, you can gain 500 LP. Tiny but mighty.

Aromaseraphy Angelica - 1* Tuner - 0 ATK, 0 DEF - Aside from being the only archetype tuner, she's got some neat effects. You can send her to the GY, select another Aroma monster already there, and gain LP equal to the selected monster's ATK points. While in the GY, if your LPs are higher than your opponent's and you have another Aroma monster on your field, you can special summon her (though you have to banish her when she leaves the field; had to nerf her somehow, haha).

Spells and Traps:

Aroma Garden - Field Spell - As long as you have at least one Aroma monster face up on your field, you can gain 500 LPs and ALL monsters on your field gain 500 ATK and DEF. If an Aroma monster is destroyed by battle, you gain 1000 LP.

Aroma Gardening - Continuous Spell - Once per turn when you summon an Aroma monster, you can gain 1000 LP. Also, if your LPs are lower than your opponent's and they declare battle, you can special summon an Aroma monster from your deck (and then gain that 1000 LP for summoning it). Summon Bergamot and that about stops any attack, lol.

Dried Winds - Continuous Trap - Once per turn when you gain LP you can destroy one face-up monster on your opponent's field. (This is really the only effect I use, but there is a second one that allows you to pay LP to destroy your opponent's monsters. You can only use this when you have 3000+ more LP than they do, and you have to pay whatever the difference is. So if you have 5000 more then you pay 5000 to destroy up to a certain number of monsters but no matter how many you choose to destroy, the cost is the same.)

Humid Winds - Continuous Trap - Effect one: you can pay 1000 LP to add on Aroma monster from your deck to your hand. Effect two: if your LPs are lower than your opponent's, you can gain 500 LP. You can use both in the same turn. This combo has occasionally been a life-saver, haha.

Blessed Winds - Continuous Trap - Three effects on this one, but you can only use one effect once per turn. One: you can send one Plant-type monster from your hand or field to the graveyard to gain 500 LP. Two: you can shuffle one Plant-type monster from your GY back into your deck to gain 500 LP. Three: you can pay 1000 LP to special summon an Aroma monster from your GY. The third one gives you an infinite synchro-summoning loop. Or an infinite healing loop, depending on your immediate needs. (Both made possible when used with one non-archetype card listed below).

[Insert other spells/traps here] What else you run is entirely up to you. I typically run Monster Reborn, Raigeki, and Skill Successor, but I have run other things like Call of the Haunted and Trap Hole with Spikes. (And I'm honestly wondering if I really even need Raigeki but then I have to find something else to add because it's only a 40-card deck as is, lol.)

Non-Archetype Winners:

Rose Girl - 3* Tuner - 800 ATK, 600 DEF - I would not dream of running this deck without her. When she's in your GY and you have a Plant-type monster on your field, you can add her back to your hand. Not to mention having a tuner that's not a 1* makes synchro summoning much easier. Her effect combined with Blessed Winds creates "endless" loops for either gaining LPs or synchro summoning. Additionally, if a Plant-type monster leaves your field, you can special summon her. She's a must for this deck. (Even if she is nerfed with a hard once per turn.)

Queen of Thorns - 6* Synchro - 2200 ATK, 1800 DEF - This lovely girl makes it almost impossible for your opponent to normal or special summon monsters. Both players have to pay 1000 LP to summon monsters unless they are Plant-type. Which, ya know, isn't a problem for this deck since the only monster in it that isn't Plant-type is Aroma Jar (lil dude is a Rock-type).

Chirubime, Princess of Autumn Leaves - 8* Effect - 1800 ATK, 2800 DEF - While I'm not currently running her, she is a good defensive tactic with L2 Aromaseraphy Jasmine due to her high DEF and her effect which makes her the only Plant-type monster your opponent can target for attacks. Additionally if she is sent to the GY by your opponent (by battle or card effect), you can special summon another Plant-type monster from your deck.

Botanical Lion, Botanical Girl, and Violet Witch - I'm lumping these together because I don't currently run them either but they do work well within the deck. BL gains 300 ATK for every Plant-type monster on your field which comes in handy sometimes, and the other two allow you to search out cards when they are destroyed. They are also useful as syrchro material, obviously.

If you actually read all of that, I am both impressed and kissing you gently on the forehead in appreciation, lol.

But yeah, I love this deck. You get a few key cards in your opening hand, and it's over before it even really starts.

#yugioh #ygo #yugioh 5ds #ygo 5ds #yugioh master duel #deck profile #i guess? kinda anyway haha #autism brain go brrrrrrr #on a niche part of an already niche interest lol #lightsworns will always be my first love but man are they a lot harder to not brick your opening hand with so uh #yeah aromas might just be my fave archetype to play haha

Earthbread Mechanics - Combat 1/?

So first post of many here. I'll say this now, most of the posts about this will not be in order as they're just going to be whatever is on my mind at the time. Today its some aspects of combat. Some of these ideas are pulled from a bunch of different places with a lot of them coming from Kingdom as its the main game with combat, and I haven't played Tower yet, so I'll get into the stuff I'm pulling from there first.

Attacking

In theory each Cookie would have a class(charge, defense, magic, etc) with this only really effecting the skills and what toppings they should use(I'll get into those in a bit). Outside of that Cookies would all have a main melee attack along with a ranged/magic attack depending on the Cookie.

Toppings

So Toppings, another bit from Kingdom yes I know, but I find them as interesting as a mechanic. In essence they function the same as Artifacts from Genshin but we aren't going there. Anyway in this hypothetical game they would function the same way that they do in Kingdom. You'd equip a max of five to your Cookie, with each kind having differing effects on stats.

Resonant Toppings

Additionally I want to touch on Resonant Toppings briefly. I love the idea of them, with sets meant for specific groups of Cookies. However, I feel that Kingdom initially kind of dirty, with Moonkissed and Trio Toppings both being no longer available yet we can still get Tropical Rock, Draconic, Sea Salt, etc. Even in limited amounts they are still available to us. In this case I would imagine the different varieties would simply only be obtainable depending on the region of the world. Moving on!

Crystal Jams

So I have an issue with their inclusion into Kingdom. While in concept they are very cool, honestly would've preferred for Legendary Cookies to just have Magic Candies. However I don't want to remove them outright because there is an aspect I like about them for use in a party style of combat. These being the Rally Effects they have when a Cookie possessing one is in your party. An item in game that provides buffs to your whole party is very fun. But changing them from their form in Kingdom is how to obtain them and how they would be used. Firstly I'd keep them in their first stage form as the simpler design just looks nicer. I'll go more into them in another post as this is getting long as is.

Elements

So this aspect is something I just find fun for games sake. It does also make strategies for what Cookies to have on your party. Having Elements assigned to Cookies in an open world rpg does feel very cliche but it also just feels correct to me to include.

Elements can tie into so many other aspects of gameplay in a variety of ways. Plus they're also just fun to look at, all the pretty colors and fun symbols for each one. I do find it interesting that of the ones currently in the game, they all seem to tie into an Ancient, Legendary, or Dragon Cookie. So putting that into the context of the other three Ancients, four Dragons, and the other nine Legendaries, it leaves a lot of gaps in the Elements to get filled. Sleep for Moonlight Cookie, Wind for Wind Archer Cookie obviously. I could see some kind of Space or Star Element for Xylitol Nova Cookie and the likely four other Nova Cookies. We all know its inevitable, Devsis loves to release higher rarity Cookies in sets of five. This isn't even considering the Beast Cookies yet. But that's for another post.

With all of those thoughts planted into the realm of Tumblr for all to see, I bid you all a good evening as its getting late on my end as I type this. Thank You and Goodnight!

(Here it is bubs♡ get ready to be scared into your inner skull)

"You...want to go to a haunted asylum?"

The blood of the murdered and mutilated assassin kissing the ground, soul was grinding and smashing into heaven. blood hugged the beautiful patternized sword of jaha. So many techniques and souls have been taken from that damned sword. Hongshin pouted as if the cupcake she had just made had been eaten for absolutely nothing.

"Come on, jaha. We have been doing nothing but missions for weeks. I figured that we needed to do some scary fun."

jaha's strong fist untightened at the rivers of the sword, sighing in his nice toned but deep voice. The voice of a madman that slaps the faces of powerful martial artists.

"I don't even know why I try with you...fine. if anything happens to us, then it's your fault."

"Ehm..they don't allow weapons inside the building."

the eyes of a killer widened at those surprisingly wounded words.

"What?"

Thin papers were held in her hands, it was tickets for each heavenly generals and everyone that talks to hongshin like a friend, the blood eyes of jaha squinted at the papers.

"You invited me, dokgo, seongtae, white tiger, geumhae, gun, brother chicken, Sachong, green dragon, and Moyong."

"Don't worry, jaha. We can all fight with and without the support of weapons. for example. You literally crushed the head of the black wolves leader before you changed it. Unforgettable choice of sending a soul to hell."

"Fine. Fine. Did you tell everyone about this?"

"Yep. you're the last one to be informed about this "scary fun." You'll be fine, jaha."

"When are we going?"

"Right now bubs♡"

hongshin's cupcake soaked voice squeaked in such a glee tone. that she won't be bored for the rest of this trip. jaha prepared everyone for this trip to have some "scary fun"

seongtae crunched his face into a disgusted and disturbed type of emotion. He took a small bite of the took chinese chicken from the fresh-smelt kitchen of the creation of food.

"hongshin. this is stupid. why did you get tickets for us to go to an asylum? I don't even know scary shit like that."

shaking his head, gun took a bite of the chicken.

"we've been doing missions assigned from jaha for weeks. so we should do something together. If you have an issue with that."

"No, I dont. We are all sitting in one spot right now. So I'm scared."

brother chicken flapped his chinese fan in a sassy tone as if he's rarity from mlp but manwha version.

"That's all you had to say, seongtae. this is a coordination between the higher ranks of black rabbit. our lower rank subordinates don't deserve this classified and indecent trip, maybe if it's worth our time in the first place."

jaha pointed the small tip of his sword at Brother Chicken, interrupting the high class attire and personality he's radiating through his thick skull.

"Aye. she got us the tickets for us to have a trip as a prize for our- no your hard work that i assigned you to do. so stop it. and let's go."

"y-yes. Master. I'm sorry, hongshin, for calling this wonderful trip of ours...ehm..indecent and basically a waste of time."

the glare of jaha's side profile and side eye electrified his system.

"That doesn't count as a true apology."

"Jaha. mind your b-"

Dokgo's gruffy, deep voice filled the carton of toxicity.

"Shut the hell up, and let's go to this asylum."

the 2 hour ride of this mysterious but rarely haunted asylum had been nothing but arguments of seongtae and jaha, dokgo talking about jaha's battles. and the active noise of the entire ride.

it went quiet when the large, monster high school attired asylum left everyone quiet. seongtae wrote a voiced reaction to this.

"Aww hell no."

jaha held moyong as if he's a human teddy bear, all comfy and soft like a washed blanket with the best detergent.

"I'm protecting my doctor. fuck all of you"

hongshin looked at the tickets if it's the wrong movie ticket and the wrong movie.

"I could have swore it's..the right ticket.. the asylum from when I went there looks like people monitoring and working on it."

Sachong looked at the names of the tickets and then went inside, seeing the inside as an apocalyptic place polluting with spirits.

Geumhae's stomach growling broke the echoing sensation of an inside of an abandoned place.

"Did anyone pack any food?"

moyong's fresh smelt sandwiches took over the raging hunger of geumhae, the sugar filled face of the doctor made jaha trust him even more in any situation.

seongtae seen brown liquid in the brown, dirt pulsated floor, feeling like something is about to go down in this asylum.

"g-guys, maybe we should leave. brown liquid usually signifies blood. so let's..pack up and leave?"

jaha sighed, eating the sandwich.

"This mi-"

a scream scratched the halls of the darken, wore down asylum. jaha instantly turned into his battle machine mode. from killing most people in cloudburst to kill whoever made that scream.

"Seongtae. stay back. The scream was coming from the direction of the sewer right outside the main office here."

the echoing steps of jaha's heels quieted whoever caused that scream to escape their big mouth. the silence was like a black hole getting ready to spaghettify a person in noodles. All quiet.

a shadow appeared in the moving darkness. in which the more that jaha approached, the bloodier and more violent the shadow turned into a human got. if this random, but deadly looking human attacked even the face of a master then it's death coming to them.

"I don't care who you are. but are you the one that caused that shrill scream?"

the gurgling sound of a slit sounding throat was pressured in jaha's defensive system. a kitchen knife bathed in blood as a woman's skin was on the dirty blood. death filling the atmosphere.

"No. I'm not doing this. just die."

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

moyong's sweat trickled on his light body as worry filled his emotion like a blender.

"I wonder if jaha is ok. I worry about him sometimes."

seongtae ate the last sandwich remaining, everyone's hunger wasn't full of rage to be filled.

"Ah. Don't worry. That son of a bitch can eliminate anybody in a blink of a eye. Oh, and there he is♡"

Stinky iron smelt blood masked his face as his fist was sprinkling that blood.

white tiger slowly started to reach a point of confusion from that ordinary glow of jaha's blood eyes.

"Uhm. What happened?"

"Just..minor inconveniences."

the doors shut like a ghost locked them inside the spooky asylum. The only light holding everyone together was jaha's fire. bright red and dangerous.

Seongtae looked at the goosebumps from his arms.

"Ok. you guys have the strength to bust us out of here, right? SPEAK UP!"

"Seongtae. shut up. I can try to find a window for me to break through. but they are probably gonna be metal bars to keep patients intact in here. It stinks."

brother chicken smelt blood from the main upstairs area, to the theater, and to the libary.

"Jaha. Light your fire up a little higher."

it raised up like a light, seeing blood written messages on the walls, dead bodies everywhere turning rotten, crushed heads, guts, vomit, broken windows, and broken stairs.

brother chicken had the surge of vomit claw from his stomach to his mouth, making his chinese fan shake from the surging impact.

"Uggg..the smell of rotten bodies is so disgusting..I'm about to throw up."

"Eh I've smelt worse."

hongshin looked around, seeing a bunch of holes leading to different places, to the basement, the female ward, the male ward, and the administration block in the upstairs level.

"Maybe we should separate to find a way out?"

seongtae looked offended from how much damage had been done in this entire lobby.

"HONGSHIN. ARE YOU STUPID? IN HORROR MOVIES. SPLITTING UP IS LIKE DEATH!"

(Part 2?)

F.A.Q.

Hello, dear customers. Please read this FAQ and check our masterlists before sending asks. We have 7 different ones in our pinned post, right below this very FAQ’s link:

I just started the game, what should I prioritize: card level, vignette/episode level, spell/magic level or buddy level?

Card level (At least until groovy level: 20 for R, 30 for SR and 40 for SSR. Focus on some few cards around your SSR first, don’t try to level up every card at the same time);

Spell/Magic level (Try to go for 5/5, especially DUO, heal, and those with effect change);

Vignette/Episode level (Start with the cards you use most and wish to groovy);

Buddy level (Check the ones you would usually pair up together and if it’s HP or ATK/POW buddy)

You can also check this similar ask.

Is there any list of every card, magic/spell and their DUO partner?

Yes, check our Resources post, it’s the second link there (“General and Event Information”).

What does leveling magic/spell do?

You can check the links below, all from our Masterlist:

Benefits of increasing magic/spell level

Change in magic/spell effects at different levels

Why max a magic/spell to Lv.10 without gaining new effect?

TLDR: Higher levels means the spells hit harder and their special effects (heal, buff, debuff) are stronger too.

Which cards have heal? How much do they heal?

You can check the links below, all from our Masterlist:

Heart ♥︎ icon indicates it’s a healer

Healers sorted by rarity and amount healed

How can I farm gems?

You might wanna check this link from out Masterlist.

I need help with chapter X OB fight, which cards should I use?

General advice: Bring a strong support with elemental advantage (e.g. Dorm Riddle, Dorm Azul and Dorm Leona), their DUO partner and ATK/POW buddy. Level up your cards, spell/magic and buddies.

You can also check this post with all OB battles using only R cards and the NPC story support.

☆ Heartslabyul: 21k HP / 2 Water & 8 Fire or 3 Water & 7 Fire

Enemy info: Uses mostly Fire and some Water spells. On the first turn, the boss will use an ATK debuff (Power Drain) on the whole party that lasts 3 turns.

Team suggestion: Bring mostly Water and some Flora spells. Dorm Azul is a great support choice, but another option would be Dorm Leona IF you want to play high risk/reward. Get the timing right and the boss is easily defeated, but don’t bring too many Flora spells. The boss only uses Water up to 3 times during the whole first 5 turns.

Past team help asks: [1]

☆ Savanaclaw: 25k HP / 4 Fire & 6 Flora or 5 Fire & 5 Flora

Enemy info: Uses Flora and Fire spells. On the 1st move of turn 1 and 2nd of turn 2, the boss will inflict one ally with Burn (it can miss) that lasts 3 turns, each stack of Burn removes 15% of the affected character’s HP (no buddy) per turn, so it’s better to get a character with low HP hit by the burn spell.

Team suggestion: Bring a Dorm Riddle or Dorm Azul support. You can either make a team with Fire and Water spells in equal amounts or mostly Fire to play safe.

Past team help asks: [n/a]

☆ Octavinelle: 34k HP / 3 Flora & 7 Water or 4 Flora & 6 Water

Enemy info: Starts with a Flora continuous heal (1.7k HP/3 turns). Has a Water DMG buff, and a DMG debuff. Uses mostly Water and some Flora spells.

Team suggestion: This battle is similar to the first OB. You can use Dorm Leona for an easy win or Dorm Riddle to aim his duo at Azul’s heal magic, which is a Flora spell that always comes out at the beginning of the battle. Bring mostly Flora spells and a few Fire. Healers are also recommended if the battle drags on due to the enemy’s heals.

Past team help asks: [n/a]

☆ Scarabia: 43k HP / 2 Fire & 8 Water or 3 Fire & 7 Water

Enemy info: Uses 3 ATK UP buffs at the start of the battle (recasts on turn 7) that lasts 3 turns. Watch out for the Blind debuff (2 turns, Fire spell) that might cause your attacks to miss. This battle consists of mostly Water and very few Fire spells.

Team suggestion: Bring a Dorm Leona support to help you end the battle fast. You don’t want to drag it out if your total HP isn’t high enough. Your team should be mostly Flora with a few Water spells. Bring healers if you can, even R cards such as Uniform Rook and PE Epel will help you.

Past team help asks: [1], [2], [3], [4]

☆ Pomefiore: 48k HP / 3 Water & 7 Flora or 4 Water & 6 Flora

Enemy info: Debuff galore, this boss will cast Heal Block and DEF down (both for 3 turns) on your whole party on the first turn, he can also use ATK down (Area/2 turns) multiple times and Freeze on turn 3 (whole party/3 turns), which causes your buffs to miss. This battle has mostly Flora and some Water spells.

Team suggestion: Bring a Dorm Riddle or Dorm Leona support and avoid using Water spells. If you have healers and buffers, watch out for the Heal Block and Freeze so they don’t go to waste. As much as possible, use buffs and continuous heals at the beginning of T1/3/5 and normal heals at the beginning of T3/5 since they buff first before the enemy in those three turns.

Past team help asks: [n/a]

☆ Ignihyde: 60k HP / 2 Flora & 8 Fire or 3 Flora & 7 Fire

Enemy info: Starts the battle with an ATK up buff and Continuous Heal (3k HP), it’s a 2 in 1 buff and lasts 5 turns (seems to recast on turn 7). On no fixed turn, the enemy can cast AOE Burn on both selected characters (16% HP without buddy) and Fire DMG up on self, both can be used at least twice and at most thrice. This battle is mostly Fire and very few Flora spells.

Team suggestion: Bring a Dorm Azul support and avoid bringing Flora spells. Healers are very recommended, but try not to drag the battle for too long as the Burn debuffs will stack and drain your HP quite quickly.

Past team help asks: [n/a]

Best cards of each type?

You might want to check this post.

Which characters should I level up?

Check your main SSRs DUO partners and buddies and bring cards with elemental advantage and many buddies.

E.g. Dorm Riddle with any Azul and Cater, Dorm Leona with any Vil, Dorm Azul with any Riddle and Jade, etc.

You can find some previous test/exam team help asks for ideas here.

Is there a Tier List for the cards?

Yes, we have a total of 4 tier lists, but those shouldn’t matter much in this game unless you want to get SSS on every test/exam. All cards can be good if you match the buddies well.

Dorm/Event SSR

Birthday SSR

When will you update the tier lists?

We won’t.

CROB: Obtaining and Upgrading Cookies & Pets

⚙️ As of March 14th, 2023, the primary method of unlocking new Cookies and Pets has changed. Now, instead of running numbers against an RNG-based treasure chest, you’re going to use Trial Star Candies to unlock new Cookies.

FAQs

How do you get Trial Star Candies?

⚙️ Cookie Trials, duh! You get them as you reach given score ranks. Hard Mode has them too, and there’s no timer or anything to collect them before they expire unlike New Cookie Cups which expire about a month later.

What happens when I get enough Trial Star Candies?

⚙️ You unlock the Cookie AND the Pet for free.

What if I already have a Cookie or a Pet that I’ve just met the unlock condition for?

⚙️ You still keep your collection as it is. Only the ones you DON’T have are on the unlock track.

Cookie Trials? What about the ones where I got some high scores before the 3/14/23 update?

⚙️The Trial Star Jellies for ranks you already got are retroactively added to your progression. If this total exceeds the benchmark for unlocking a Cookie, you’ll get one copy of the Cookie and Pet in your mailbox.

There’s a new Cookie I really want, but I don’t have enough Trial Star Candies! What now?

⚙️ Buy whatever you want with Crystals, duh! Every other goal-based unlock restriction is gone (obtaining select Cookies, reaching affection levels, Escape Levels, etc), but you can play in a lot of events and other modes to get them for free. The unlock cost in Crystals is the same for all Cookies of a rarity, but higher rarities cost a LOT more. See these prices for Cookies/Pets respectively. If you have a Cookie Unlock Ticket or Pet Unlock Ticket, you can use that to unlock any Cookie/Pet that’s Epic rarity or lower without spending Crystals.

Common: 900 / 600

Rare: 1,800 / 1,200

Epic: 2,900 / 1,900

Special: Unavailable.

Legendary: 9,900 / 6,600

So Special Cookies… are they unavailable?

⚙️ YEP! Hello Kitty, Mimmy, Coffee Cookie, and Cookiedroid are not part of this. If you really want Cookiedroid that bad, go to the Google Play Points Store! If you’re just realizing that Hello Kitty collaborated with Devsisters in 2018, TOUGH BISCUITS! THEY’RE NOT AVAILABLE.

Do Cookies and Pets share the same unlock conditions?

⚙️ Yes, most Cookies and their Combi Pet share the same Trial Star Candy unlock requirement. Unpaired or secondary Legendary Pets will have their own unlock requirement. Certain events and shop offers may award copies of Cookies or Pets for free, including ways to unlock them instantly.

Alright, I have a Cookie. If the Chests are gone, how do I upgrade them?

⚙️ There are four ways:

Use Cookie Potions to gain the necessary copies

Gain the copies through gameplay and events

Spend Crystals to buy the needed copies

Buy the desired copies in any game shop, including the Package Shop

These methods also apply to Pets, which have their own Pet Potions. Legendary Cookies and Pets use Legendary Cookie/Pet Potions. Special Cookies and Pets use Special Cookie/Pet Potions (if for some reason you still had Special Spirit Potions when the 3/14/23 update happened).

Crystals to upgrade? How much per copy? And how much would it cost me to max out one Cookie not counting the Magic Candy?

Common Cookie: 2 💎 x 8,905 copies = 17,810 💎

Common Pet: 1 💎 x 8,905 copies = 8,905 💎

Rare Cookie: 6 💎 x 2,405 copies = 14,430 💎

Rare Pet: 4 💎 x 2,405 copies = 9,620 💎

Epic Cookie: 45 💎 x 305 copies = 13,725 💎

Epic Pet: 30 💎 x 305 copies = 9,150 💎

Legendary Cookie: 3,600 💎 x 35 copies = 126,000 💎

Legendary Pet: 2,400 💎 x 35 copies = 84,000 💎

⚙️ The Coins and copies needed are still the same as before. How many copies do you need? See below:
