Synopsis: Beast Ancients AU [BAAU] explores an alternate universe where the ancients corrupt into beasts. With the looming presence of the original five beasts as well, the cookies of Earthbread must grapple with the threat of ten beasts vying for power, domination, or annihilation.

Are you a YouTuber? I feel like I seen you somewhere 🤨🤔
eeeeyes i have a youtube :)
yknow while I don’t subscribe to golden cheese x burning spice, I think Spice having an unrequited, toxic crush on cheese is a fun and scary angle
(yap below, tw for possessive/obsessive themes)
Is there a chance that the beast ancients will become stronger than the beast cookies? (By like taking there other half of their soul jam or smth)
You tell me
aka Moonstone and his four weed-smoking girlfriends
also a couple more doodles I have yet to share plus Pezzy’s fullbody under the cut!
Burning Spice only knows so much about what happened. At first, there was the crack of glass, succeeded by searing pain. Then, there was a tall winged cookie with piercing eyes. When he awoke for the final time, he was surrounded by cables. He felt weak, incredibly weak, incapable of acting on his urge to escape whatever it was he was in. His soul jam flickered on his chest, alert to a familiar energy, but it was too drained to rouse him. As darkness consumed his sight once more, the energy readings on the computer monitors brimmed with activity.
As promised, he has granted Celestial Cheese a great benefit for the cultivation of her kingdom.
So i don't know if the question have been asked before but is yellow feather aware of what going on in the world ? Like what are the beast and the ruler of her kingdom is a beast herself ? Or will she discover it later by example since Crepes will happen to run in the cheese kingdom will they met ?
Nope, she doesn’t know what’s going on. She’s not aware of the Beasts, the Neobeasts, or much of the history surrounding them. She knows Celestial Cheese to be the queen of her kingdom, but “Beast of Conquest” isn’t really something she’s questioned, if she’s heard the moniker at all. The extent of Feather’s knowledge comes from her memories, and the books, research, and information her friends have given her. She’s yet to learn about the world, and there’s a chance that if she meets Crepe, it’ll be the first time she learns about what else is out there.
Helloooo
So i had recently start the beast yeast chapter and i came across mercurial knight and the part where he told us he gave up on his flavor in order to become one of the silver tree guards. So my question will you expand on this ? Will it be correlated to the reason of why the faerie kingdom had became some sort of hivemind ? Will we have more "mercurial knight" ?
yes 😉
I'm very excited to meet the protagonists for the Midnight Lily saga. Are they gonna be ocs or cookies from the concept art?
Also, I hope you expand just a teeny bit more about the lore on the Faeries and stuff. The one we have so far in game is kind of lacking (idk if that's the word I should use) atm. It made me sad as someone who loves fantasy lmaooo. They cooked so well with the mermaid's tale update prior to that 😭😭
They’re canon characters! Both of them are playable epic cookies, one of whom I’ve already shown in a baau post before. I’m going to drop them real soon, since I’m ready to talk more about the Lily Saga (specifically its lore, since it kickstarts a major plotline in baau as a whole).
I will! I agree it’s a little lacking, and as someone who is a huge fan of fae I need to add more. Hopefully we’ll get more when SS comes around, but til then I’ll be adding a couple of things to spice it up lol
I have one question...
Has Frigid Cacao spoke for once or has he never spoke for his entire life when he's corrupted?
He speaks, just not often
Tiger Lily and Strawberry Crepe are my favorites. But how do you keep track of everything? It's so interesting and cool. I have to use Google slides so I can keep a consistent reference :/ and is there like a site you use to record the sagas? Do we get the written timeline of what's been revealed? (Sorry I have so many questions. It's just so cool and I love your art style and really like this au and storytelling)
ty!! im a little embarrassed to admit this, but most of this planning has been entirely within my head :’D save for a few ramblings I’ve done to friends on discord lol, but I’ve been planning to jump on putting things in a miro whiteboard so I can better figure out how things progress and keep track of characters! for your third question, you probably will once I figure out what the full timeline looks like, but that won’t be for a long time I’m afraid. at least there are bits and pieces of the chronology to pick up
have a tiger lily! i’d been meaning to draw her for a while anyway lol
I saw your idea of shadow milk and burning spice ruling over their own schools, and it gave me this interesting thought: -Shadow milk ran the blueberry yogurt academy -Eternal Sugar ran parfaedia -I'm not sure about mystic flour, perhaps she had her own place? idk -burning spice ran scovilla -Silent Salt ran the paladin academy Scovilla went first, when burning spice changed to the beast of destruction, the current scovilla lead is a descendant of burning spice parfaedia was abandoned next, since we don't know much about eternal sugar i can't say for sure what she did mystic was the third, the reason her place isn't around anymore is because she physically wiped out everyone there, only ruins exist of what it once was Silent salt was the second last to go, while the other beasts were turning, he was training those at the academy to try and help fight off his former allies, he's eventually overwhelmed and becomes the barer of silence Shadow milk was last, tries to get to his friends but is overwhelmed by sugar, flour and spice Salt shows up after the first three, by this point he isn't fully corrupted, but you can tell he's KINDA getting to that point? Shadow milk begs him for some help, tries to get him to listen to reason Silent salt, keeping his namesake, only demands one thing for shadow milk to be silent after that, the blueberry yogurt academy falls, the beasts go on their rampages and are sealed away Parfaedia, Scovilla and the Paladin Academy are picked up by new cookies, and are still used to this day the blueberry yogurt academy is abandoned, and nothing happens with what mystic used to run since its gone sorry for the tangent, it just got me thinking
Ooooooh that’s very cool! Nice thoughts!! I’m focusing on just Headmaster Spice for now, but maybe the other beasts could be teachers of some kind in the au/au of the au if I feel like it :o
theyyy HATE each other
Are we allowed to get any tidbits of what triggered each neobeast? I'd love to see that and it'd spur an art
Disclaimer that this is bound to change the more I develop each of their stories:
whos your fav neobeast/neobeast saga to write?
It fluctuates as I develop each of them, but right now it’s the Cheese Saga! Dragonberry almost has it beat, but the twists and turns I have planned for Yellow Feather’s adventure are just too fun to think about. I can’t wait to share them with yall!!
baau belongs to @cuppajj its amazing go check it out
Vanilla Swirl Cookie Blackbane Cookie: Guardian of Memory Beast of Secrecy, also known as the Blightmother
"ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves, false saint."
Little is known on the status of Blackbane Cookie, the most ruthless of the neobeasts. She seems to spend most of her time dwelling in the thickest reaches of what was once known as the Faerie Kingdom of Thorns, and now known as the Blightwoods; a hostile forest teeming with Cookiesnaps, Venus Crumbtraps, and all sorts of Cookie-eating flora slowly spreading across Beast-Yeast. We think. All our research parties that enter never return.
Additionally, there have been a recent spike of Faerie Cookie disappearances, all of which have had at least some ties to the Kingdom of Thorns. Rumour has it that these cookies were transformed into savage beasts on their own volition, capable of ripping a cookie to crumbs. Lets hope, no pray that its just a rumour though...
Cheese Cinder Cookie Volcanic Cheese Cookie: Guardian of Growth Beast of Hunger, also known as The Great Devourer
yes that is a ninjago ref
Having joined forces with Celestial Cheese Cookie, Volcanic Cheese Cookie has become a furnace powering Celestial Cheese Cookie's conquest. but like all furnaces, he needs to consume, and consume he does, getting stronger every time he sets something ablaze. But occasional shows of strength to instill fear into the common people is not enough. He needs more. MORE. MORE. And what better way to get fuel than to become a method of execution for those refusing to submit? The crispier the better! No matter what or even if it leaves a stain on his conscience, he must do what it takes to survive.
Crystallized Raspberry Cookie: Guardian of Courage Beast of Fear, Dragonberry Gladiator Champion and respected general.
A general with an Iron Fist (literally. its where her spirit jelly is housed), Crystallized Raspberry Cookie is the very model of a proper commander and executioner under Dragonberry Cookie. Having unfortunately grown a bit of a sadistic side under the neobeast, Crystallized Raspberry Cookie has taken delight being thrown into whatever match is going on in the arena, instilling a terror into the combatants and a thrill in the audience.
Bitter Bean Cookie: Guardian of Honor, Last Guardian, and White Dragon Knight.
last seen outside the gates of Frigid Cacao's Black Citadel right before the dissappearance of the strawberry jam sword, Bitter Bean Cookie supposedly now carries the burden of preventing Strawberry Jam Cookie from wreaking havoc all over earthbread (well... more havoc than what has already been wreaked) as the singular trail of tracks quickly lost to the snow lead him to the most silent region of beast-yeast in preparation of what to do next, trying to stay strong in the face of Strawberry Jam Cookie's temptations of revenge, power, and sometimes even relief.
Strawberry Jam Cookie: Beast of Hatred, Spirit of the Strawberry Jam Chocoblade, First Fallen.
for goodness sake let me take the suffering from you /ref
Still stuck in the damn sword. at least he's now a travelling companion to bitter bean, attempting to distract him with words of revenge, apathy, etc. but to no avail, Bitter Bean Cookie's always been a stick in the mud. Phooey.
might make this an actual fic?
clotted cream and the rest of earthbread having to handle 14 different beasts
