When someone forgotten how to use a fucking phone....
Janus, texting: Quit throwing stones at my window! What do you have a phone for?!
Virgil, texting back: Shoot, youโre right, my bad.
*THUNK*
Janus: *opens his window and shouts*
Janus: DID YOU JUST THROW YOUR PHONE AT MY WINDOW?!?
Finally butterfly Virgie.......why did I suddenly smile....... IT'S THIS HAPPYNESS?!?!
๐ฆ ๐
I have a little headcanon that when Virgil is excited some butterflies just magically โจ appearโจ in his room because of the โbutterflies in your stomachโ thingy
I have no idea why I made this
Hi ๐, can I request a self aware Smilk & reader, where heโs the only one who knows of their existence, and the reader can sometimes take control of him which causes some confusion to other cookies.
(You can choose whether itโs a one-shot or headcanons)
Yess self awareness time
.......
After trying and trying again, you finally pulled Shadow Milk Cookie from the gacha, thrilled that he finally came home!
Now that you've understood all the hype surrounding him and how crazy powerful he can be after clearing his Beast Yeast episodes, you had all your star jellies, toppings, and a legendary beascuit saved just for him.
But ever since obtaining him, you've noticed some...oddities with him that made you assume it was part of his programming/AI.
When you see him walking around the kingdom or working at a station that's not the toy store, he's looking at you a lot.
Of course, some cookies may glance at you occasionally, with even fewer breaking the fourth wall (like Black Sapphire and Devil Cookie), but that's just what the devs added as a funny joke.
Shadow Milk...is different. He doesn't follow their script to a T.
The way he talks and waves at you, shows off during battles and making himself the last cookie standing in difficult arena fights, and doing his juggling trick when he knows you're looking at him.
Then he actually responded to you after you made a remark about where to put his statue...and at first you're startled, bc no way could that have been a coincidence...
In reality, he had an "awakening" of his own--in that his knowledge suddenly extended beyond CRK's borders.
Somehow, he can see and hear you, becoming 100% aware that he's in a video game.
But you assume his new antics are part of his programming...until one day the charade falls apart and he straight up tells you that he knows the truth. He even says your username, the device you're playing on, and the day you started CRK as proof in case you think he's lying.
You're stunned at first, but then you think it's actually pretty awesome....until he claims that he's the only one who knows and felt like it would've been better if he didn't.
Of course, the master of deceit would rather ignore the truth and live out a lie, like all the other cookies are....but he's stuck with this earthbread-shattering truth that's only his to bear.
In a way, being "trapped" in this game reminds him of the witches and the time he spent in the silver tree, believing he escaped one prison only to end up in another.
After you leave the game to tend to some real life matters, he tries sowing chaos in the kingdom by revealing this to other cookies, thinking they'd "wake up".
Yet none of them know wtf he's talking about. Not even the Beasts or Pure Vanilla, who thinks he's just trying to trick everybody again..although he admits that what Shadow Milk is saying sounds most outlandish.
Typically, he'd be able to conjure up some kind of "evidence" and manipulate wide masses into believing any word he says.
But you're untouchable, and he has no way of obtaining tangible proof of your existence to show the other cookies...and once he realizes this, he gets frustrated.
"Who do you think fulfills our wishes at the tree???? Who do you think indulges us with star jellies????? Keeps this kingdom from crumbling to pieces?!! We are ALL the puppets to an even bigger puppet master!"
Anyone who hears this yap from him just thinks 'is he alright? like genuinely?'
The next time you log in, Shadow Milk is gravely upset that he has to carry this burden and decides to take it out on you.
Suddenly there's lag spikes when his ability is on cooldown (so you can hardly use them in battle and lose your ranking in arena), he avoids you trying to pick him up in the kingdom (much to other cookies' confusion, as from their pov, he's fleeing something that's invisible)...and he even corrupted his own stats to make it seem like any promotions were gone and his level dropped back to 1.
You ask him why he's causing you all this trouble, and his next rant was more or less....a reasonable crashout.
"I was a god...or at least that's what I thought. But no. I've been lied to. A master of deceit...has been lied to again!! What cruel irony! This world...this life of mine....it's all been one big game from the start! And nobody knows but I!! HAHAHA!! Tell me, [username]..what's it like being the true god of this world? Do you enjoy toying with our lives? What makes you think you deserve my power?! Damn you....and damn this prison!! YOU'RE NO BETTER THAN THOSE WITCHES!!!"
Other cookies just see him screaming at nobody in particular, although his rage forms rifts in the ground, from which the other-realm creeps out to attack anyone close to him.
You end up closing the game out of fear, leaving it alone for the next several hours.
While initially scared to reopen it, you did understand why Shadow Milk lashed out like that--he thought he was in control, and couldn't comprehend the idea of it being somebody else.
You don't know why he, of all cookies, had to be cursed with this forbidden knowledge, but what could be done about it now?
Nothing.
So you returned to the game and found a plushie of him somewhere after looking around for a few minutes, and after clicking him, he turns back to normal and scowls.
"What? You've come back to toy with me more, stupid god? Or were you just worried that I did something to your precious kingdom?"
"No, and no." You say, explaining to him that while you'd never fully understand what he was feeling--and couldn't help him explain your existence to other cookies--you wanted him to see you as a friend, not a puppet master or a witch or some untouchable god like he accuses you of being.
To show him you're serious, you bought all of his decor and gave him his own little castle/spire-like area, where he can indulge in his hobbies or just retreat there whenever he wanted to.
For some time, Shadow Milk is silent as he inspects everything and for a moment...you thought he reverted back to his NPC programming...
Then he looks at you and grins a little. "Jeez, if only you put this much effort into the rest of the kingdom."
"Yeah, well...I'm working on it." You chuckled. "Black Sapphire and Candy Apple Cookie think it's "dull" and doesn't compare to your spire, but-"
"I'll deal with them later. This...is acceptable."
It's fair to say...he's content.
He seems to finally accept his new reality, as he doesn't corrupt his stats or sabotage your gameplay anymore, allowing you to use him as your strongest magic cookie again.
Now if you start shifting your focus towards pulling Awakened Pure Vanilla, however, he might stir up some trouble to make the process take even longer
