hey did you guys know its the pines twins’ 23rd birthday today? I had no idea.
anyway, here’s a thing I’ve been working on for a while. This was originally supposed to be for the show’s 10th anniversary back in June, but I definitely didn’t anticipate how long it’d take and had to push it back to the end of August. It feels like an appropriate way to send off the summer :]
ps: as per gf tradition, there’s a hidden message along the first 10 pages
stay weird etc etc
Based on a comment by DJSuperQueenXD on reddit!
I finished this a week ago or so, but didn't post it until playing through the new DCL and reading the interactive comic to make sure the one old god I choose wasn't given some new lore lol
Image IDs:
A 6 page comic, shaded in black and white and Grey screen tones.
Page 1:
Kallamar is posing with his arms out. He wears a necklace, arm bands, and bracelets with pearls and gems on them. He proclaims, "TA-DA! The Lambs newest attempt to gain my favor was gifting me crystals from my lovely Anchordeep! I made jewelry from them! What do you think?"
Panel 2 has follower form Shamura staring forward with a question mark over their head. Narinder is walking by in the background looking sideways at the scene.
Panel 3: Shamura says "It's--" but is cut off by Narinder leaning in panel saying"*Gawdy*".
Panel 4: Kallamar crossed his arms and says "Tch! I wasn't showing you! I was showing Shamura!" while Shamura turns towards Narinder.
Page 2
Panel 1 narender lens forward with his hand on his chest and says oh I am so sorry Elder brother! Please allow me to try again. Panel too narender has his arms held out and cheerfully says "wow Kallamar I thought we killed the old god of beauty and removed 'true beauty' from the world but you have proven me wrong! amazing! "
panel 3 Narinder has his hand on his hip and looks smug he says "there. happy? that was sarcasm by the way"
Panel 4 Kallamar looking angry saying "you are such an as--" while tomorrow tilt their head looking Confused
Panel 5 Shamura, looking more confused and upset says "old god of beauty... who?" To which Kallamar reaches out and replies "theyre no one don't worry about it" Shamura repeats in a shaky speech bubble "Old God... Of Beauty... Who?"
Panel 6 shamura has one hand at their bandaged head and one at their shirt. They are upset and panting. They say "the old god of beauty? Who? Who? I... I knew them. I know them. We met many times, didn't we? Uuh... Err..."
Panel 7, Shamura grabs at their bandages and shirt collar. Their eyes are wide and teary. Black blood oozes down the middle of their face. The line art in this panel is scratchy.
Shamura says "but what was their name? I... I can't...I can't remember their... Um... No... They were... Who?"
Page 3
Shamura is slumped to their knees on the grass while Kallamar has his hand on their back and on their arm, soothing them with "there, there. It's alright. Deep breathes Shamura."
Panel 2, Narinder looks on guilty.
Panel 3: Narinder looks to the side with a sigh.
Panel 4: Narinder sits next to his siblings, rubbing his neck. Kallamar glares while Shamura looks at their hands with eyewides.
Narinder says. "Aetherile. Their name was Aetherile. In their vanity, they called themself the god or beauty. Really they were the good of something else. But it doesn't exist anymore, so it doesn't matter."
Page 4
Panel 1 in the foreground, Narinder rubs is arm, looking up and to the side. In the background, a younger bishop Shamura holds their arms out behind a younger Narinder, holding an axe, and younger Kallamar, holding a sword. The screen tone on them is offset to show this is a memory
Narinder says "They were the first of the gods you declared war on after we met and you, Kallamar, and I became siblings. They were the first I got to help fight."
Panel 2 in the foreground Narinder holds up his hand. This time he looks down and two the side as he speaks.
In the background, a younger Narinder holds up a Hertics Heart. He has blood on his chest and chin and his shirt is cut. A younger Shamura looks on please while a younger Kallamar pouts behind them. Their toning is also offset.
Narinder continues, "you let me take their heart, even though Kallamar dealt the final blow. You thought 'Death Devouring Beauty' was a poetic end and I should take it instead."
Page 5
Panel 1, Narinder looks down and says "I know now you only gave it to me out of pity for my youth and to motivate me." Kallamar, a hand still on Shamura's arm, looks to the side and mumbles "that and you got yourself cleaved in two at the shoulder." Shamura is bend over with their face shadowed.
Panel 2: Shamuras face is zoomed in on. Their upper face is still in shadows. They say "... No..."
Panel 3 Shamura wipes the blood from the middle of their face with their shirt, looking much calmer, as they say "I remember now. That's not what happened, well, not exactly"
Panel 4: Kallamar and Narinder are shocked and both cry "WHAT?!"
Panel 5 the upper quarter of Shamuras face is in the corner. They are looking down. A younger Narinder is behind them. Leaning on his axe and looking idly at his claws. The toning of offset on him, and a copy of the line art offset as well. A noise layer is applied over the memory.
Shamura says "We only defeated Aetherile because Narinder made them angry--too angry to think clearly."
In a soft edge speech bubble Narinder says "A god of beauty? Ha! I guess you'll make a pretty enough corpse--for a hag anyway!" the text is faded and has an offset copy over it.
Shamura continues "Is what he said. They were so upset that they only attacked him, leaving an opening for Kallamar to deal the fatal attack"
Page 6
Panel 1 Shamura beans, holding up their hands. They chuckle and say "What a nice memory!"
Panel 2 Shamura pets Narinders head by his ear. He is Suprised.
Panel 3: Shamura puts a hand on Kallamar's shoulder. Kallamar smiles with a sign and has his hand on their arm.
Panel 4: the three are sitting side by side in the grass. Shamura with their hand on Narinders head and Kallamar's shoulder. Thwir shadows extend behind them, with smiles draw on each on as Shamura repeats "...A nice memory..."
The collector is a baby.

Hey loved this and found it so interesting...and got an idea for a whole self aware au...possibly could be a series if you find it fun enough to write...already love what you did with this first writing and defiantly wanna see it in action and your take on this:
Self aware au...cowardly y/n. Just imagine a y/n who gets sucked into the game and is so nervous about the story because of the fights, rivalries, and etc...like they know the story of cookie run so they are TERRIFIED at first when they first enter the world...maybe nervous at first when the cookies become self aware but scared when actually in the world as themselves but a cookie form...just a powerless cookie!
Cue them getting dragged through story, thinking they are gonna die...but here is twist, especially because of this writing I really liked: the cookies adore them! So every time they think they are about to die or get caught in the crossfire? Nope, they are perfectly safe and loved! Can't wait to see all the hilarious senarios of y/n panicking and thinking 'this isn't gonna end well for me' only to be immediately proven wrong via y/n being protected, comforted, or whatever you want lol!
AAAA I LOVE THIS IDEA!
Ideas are exploding in my head!
Self Aware Au
W/cowardly!Reader
You don't know how but you have been sucked into the game. At first you just wanna relax on the couch then suddenly, poof, you're in the game.
The first to meet you was the team. They saved you from a couple of cake hounds and cake wolves. You introduce yourself to them and oh what a wrong move.
Gingerbrave was instantly all over you, fawning on about you and finally excited to meet you. Both Pure Vanilla Cookie and Wizard Cookie were questioning how you got here.
That aside, Gingerbrave insists on having you travel with them. At first you don't agree, saying you rather not, already knowing what will happen next with all the spoiler episodes you watched. Wizard Cookie agrees with you until Gingerbrave literally begged for you to come.
Geez just like how you begged for new cookies to come home in your gacha.
You gave in and went with their adventure, honestly all the time traveling you felt bad. Not having the skill to do.. anything. They would reassure you every time, "It's okay.. [Name] Cookie. Just getting to know you along the way was a gift."
Gift? Okay Pure Vanilla..
Finally all of you arrived at the place, Beast-Yeast. Being there somehow gives you the chills, the crawling feelings of being watched.
You all met Elder Faerie Cookie. Soon White Lily Cookie. You both introduce yourself, luckily (or unluckily which ever you wanna see it) she doesn't seem to recognize you from outside the screen.
It's all great, until you meet him. Oh how the presence just makes you wanna coward back and run. Hide away from everything. Not to mention you can't do anything. And he can do anything he wants.
"Oh. I see I have quite an audience here! I am SO terribly sorry to have kept you waiting!!"
You froze, you can't move even as your mind screams at you to run. It wasn't scary when you passed this episode.. why is it now? Why do you feel fear now? Is it because you couldn't do anything, like closing the game?
"But now... The wait is over!"
Move your body, run! Anything!
"Your favorite trickster is here!
The sharp stares of his eyes, lands directly at you. Your body shakes. You know what will happen! You know what's next! But why are you still afraid? You expected this long ago!..
Oh what some silly thoughts!
Gingerbrave put a stance between you and the beast. He seems as scared as you are but.. he's determined enough to protect you. They all did.
The faerie kingdom fell into deceit, playing lies and truth like a game for fun. Shadow Milk Cookie returns once in a while to tell the stories Elder Faerie Cookie told them. But different.
It goes like you expected so you wouldn't fall for his lies easily. In one of the plays he described you. The divine, watching over them, Oh they were saddened when the five original power holders fell and sealed away.
No you were not.
At the end you watched as the team defeated the trickster. After he tried to swoop you away from them.
You watched both Pure Vanilla Cookie and White Lily Cookie exchange. Now you don't know where to go. You're lost without a home or anything. But they, accept you into The team with open arms. You have no choice either way, as you follow them to the next adventure.
Run Shamura while you still can !
A child with blood on their hands
follow up question what dose euclid and scalene think of everyone else in gravity falls?
They're neutral towards them mostly! They like Wendy quite a bit (tho they were upset about the Dusk 2 Dawn situation for a bit) and her friends are... Fine? They don't have a great frame of reference for how human young behave in their teenage years but they seem fairly similar to teenage Euclideans.
The Gleefuls are their sworn enemies, and Mr and Mrs Northwest will eat glass by their hands one day, but everyone else is kinda unimportant to them.
Aside from McGucket. They feel a great deal of guilt about how badly Bill affected him and they want to help, but he's the only person aside from Dipper and Mabel who can see them in their regular 2D forms, and he's terrified of them.
