Shadow Milk "Mommy Issues" Cookie Confirmed

But jokes aside, I’m pretty sure that The First Cookies are the Beast’s “mothers” in the same way that God is “the father”. It’s meant to mean that they are their creators in a religious context, not their literal parents. Especially since The First Cookies were once witches that are now in cookie form, and witches are very clearly worshiped as religious figures. (Shadow Milk even refers to them as “gods” quite blatantly.)

The implication is intended to be that The First Cookies made the Virtues when they were witches — thus, why First Milk is still a human when depicted with Fount of Knowledge.

Anyways, Shadow Milk’s creator being a healer and his other half being a healer and the Beast he’s arguably closest to being a healer is so funny because that freak has never healed from anything in his LIFE

Snowflake Challenge 2026 #14

Challenge #14

In your own space, create a promo and/or rec list for someone new to a fandom.

I actually wasn't sure what to do with this one (thus, the delay), but, since I'm getting into Kingdom Hearts, and I'm saving a lot of links related to it, I thought I'd share a very small list of the things I am using, or that I think are neat. So not quite a promo post, not quite a rec list, but something in-between, perhaps? Please pardon the clear Soriku bias.

• Kingdom Hearts scripts (Kingdom Hearts 1 to Dream Drop Distance)
• THE six-hour "Riku is gay" essay
• A Keyblade clique for indie sites
• Necklace Theory masterpost
• "traveled half the world to say (i belong to you)" (my favorite KH fic)

(Maybe next year, I'll make a reclist with a certain trope as a theme in fanworks, rather than a particular fandom? Assuming this challenge comes up again.)

Challenge #15

How did the Fandom Snowflake Challenge go?

It went quite well! Although I was relatively "late" to a few prompts, I tried to keep the pressure off of myself and have a good time. I still did every prompt, after all. I'm especially proud of the amount of wishes I granted for the wishlist-related challenges!

I made an effort to read other people's posts that were linked in the comments of the challenge announcements, but no particular effort towards commenting. Next year, I think I want to try commenting on other people's posts more!
