#cookie run discourse

[k1ttygam3r]

With the news of Smilk dropping on the 4th anniversary I’m curious as to if he’ll be the last Beast or somewhere in the middle

I feel like not having him be last would lessen the impact of his official playable appearance for some reason but at the same time I don’t know how they could fit two other Beasts in the span of 2-3 months before him

I bring a sort of "lord oyster was still very in the wrong for giving the pearl away, he's a grown man he knew what he was doing" energy to the crk fandom that tiktok doesn't like

Rant about Creme Brulee under the cut

"The genshinfication of cookie run" and you post two characters who are both just guys in normal clothes and food hair. I get that Creme Brulee's hair doesn't resemble the ingredient much, but how do you work with cream and burnt sugar on top? The archeologist concept looked like scrambled eggs, they also tried to incorporate the white dish it's served in, but I don't think it was enough. Maybe if he had some sort of berry accessory too, like how the dessert sometimes has fruits on top. I do agree that he and Linzer could've been a little less gray in terms of dough, but that's besides the point

You know, the people on YouTube being like "it's not October yet" give me the same "what happened in south korea have to do with a cookie game?" vibe when happened the Halloween stampede last year and they canceled the events.

Not being rude but it gets tiring that it doesn't sink on some people that not everything comes from western side.

Looks at the Cookie Run fandom

I think it’s both unfair and very stupid to hate on something because “the fandom is bad”

yeah, no shit sherlock - EVERY fandom sucks: it’s just the consequence of having large groups of people. there’ll always be one bad apple and then other people will start following said bad apple and outsiders will blow the entire thing up out of proportion because of stereotyping. plus, it’s not the art or the creator’s fault most of the time, it’s just people!

[hydras-bloom]

My ick is the misgendering too plus the gross "pro" ships. Like. W h y :[

like seriously, proshipping made me very sceptical of when walnut and roquefort are drawn in the same piece interacting with eachother. like i cant tell you how much i suspected worst from seeing many drawings of just these 2 in them and then seeing a drawing be suggestive. and the worst part is that wallnut is a minor, hell maybe barely even 10. and im questioning every single time i see these ppl, like my dude... you do realise as soo as you interact in the real world its going to me much harder to convince others to not look while saying "if you dont like it, leave" , right?

[imaginariumwanderer]

Ok but what if TR killed someone for Shadowmilk when he *really* didn't need to. What if. What if he's horrified and confused by his actions because not only did he murder someone, but he did it because they wanted to hurt Shadowmilk.

Umm yeahhh, my apologies, that's a nah for me. Vani even at his worse (Recluse) has shown again and again he's not willing to hurt others. If Recluse were to commit murder in Smilk's name it'd have to be mind-control or Smilk somehow was able to break Vani further than humanly possible.

Throughout the entirety of ep 8, he can't help but protect everyone. Smilk himself know it very well which is why he used Gingergang to take advantage of Vani's protective instincts, Recluse would go as far as committing what's basically suicide for them (the Yogurt river). In fact, the only one Recluse has shown clear animosity toward is Smilk. If there's someone Recluse is willing to kill/left for death it's Smilk lol

Maybe I'm being too harsh but I've seen yandere!Vani appeared a lot in p*relily content and they're never done well, it's hard to twist Vani's character into committing cruelty without making him ooc and most of the time my girl Lily would get reduced to just an object for him to obsess over. Which is, eugh...

I DO however get the appeal of having such a kind character turn "evil" in a sense, you're on the right track by focusing on Vani's near-compulsive need to protect his love ones, now let's add guilt, his tendency to hide things and act out under his misguided good-will... Maybe that'll work? idk I don't like yandere!Vani, his stubborn kindness is a large part of his the appeal for me.

I feel like some beast/ancient discourse boils down to you guys viewing queerness as something that need to be inherently sanitized which is. Weird. Fictional queer relationships deserve nuance that can be toxic. They are not fluffy and happy 100% of the time. Lol

[chaosxcrushed]

Something something, sometimes the CRK fan base is too serious/protective over some ships, especially PureLily! Just saying that if you do not like another person's taste in ships, don't make your reasoning for it be “because it's not canon”

This mostly goes to the PureLily shippers. As much as we love the ship, it's not canon. In fact, we'd argue that ElderLily has more canonical romantic undertones

Bonus!! Even though we don't ship romantic ShadowVanilla

[radiotheradio]

Hearing about Shadowvanilla discourse (or any ancient x beast shipping discourse really) from one of the purgatory websites like TikTok or Twitter (I’m not calling that shit a single letter. He deadnames his child I deadname his website) is so fucking wild because like. This is some basic ass enemies to lovers. It’s not even that toxic. Like a 6 out of 10 at most. 4 out of 10 if we’re being realistic. 2.5 if you’re freaky.

Like they’re such fucking obvious ships too (except Dark Cacao x Mystic Flour. I respect it of course but that man has never had sex and if he did it was to create his son only. Can you fucking imagine how many tries that would take if you really just weren’t into it tho? He also doesn’t have the emotional space for romance he’s too busy standing there looking very serious. My Aroace king unless it’s funny. I’m getting off track-).

And y’all are getting DEATH THREATS??? Say fucking WHAT NOW! Maybe I just have too much of a life and touch too much grass but even getting a “hey that’s weird,” would be fucking perplexing. Yeah I like this because I like when stories have conflicts and themes, as stories are wont to do. I like when the narratives foils have even more to narratively foil about. This really is not hard to understand.

Like Shadowvanilla is fucking awesome, Burningcheese is right up my alley too, Eternalberry seems awesome but since we don’t actually have their interactions yet that’s only a hypothesis. All these make for super awesome stories I don’t see what the problem is. “It’s abusive!” I sure hope so? How’re we gonna get from bad to good if we don’t start at bad? I want a problem, a struggle, a climax, and then a resolution. I’m trying to read a story here, not a weather report.

Is it just that these are (mostly) child friendly pastry people so it’s probably mostly teenagers and tweens who are in the “forming identity and opinions” stage of their life that are starting this shit? I think it’s that. Anyway I haven’t used Twitter in literal years now and you could not pay me money to make a TikTok. Get off those websites they’re bad for the soul and the mind. Or don’t I’m not your dad.

Aaaaaaaanyway God x God + Enemies to Lovers + Soulmates + Narrative Foils is just me bait. Catnip for a lil freak like me. BTW if you like that check out hit indie game Cult of the Lamb. I promise you Shadowvanilla and Burningcheese shippers, there’s an 85% chance you’ll like it.

Edit: changed my mind. I ship Mysticcacao too now. Fuck with me.

My thoughts about the new Cookie Run: Kingdom update:

(Keep in mind: I haven’t finished the update’s story yet. It may take a while for me to do so, seeing as I’m both caught up in Artfight and my motivation can shift wildly in the most inconvenient times. I ask that you refrain from spoiling any of the major songs. Thanks.)

While it is a drastic shift from her previous appearance, I actually really like Shining Glitter Cookie’s redesign. However, I hope they make her old design an obtainable costume in the game, so we can switch between the two at will instead of just sticking with one and leaving the other in the dust.

Mango Cookie being into rock is a better plot twist than the ending to Eternal City of Wizards /j

Speaking of Mango Cookie… god love him he’s trying his best

This story is giving character x reader fanfiction vibes. It’s kind of like Romance Kingdom but without any of the romantic elements and it’s just fanboying over MyCookieRomance or something

I fucking love Black Lemonade Cookie. We stan a goth gnc rockstar woman

I’m pissed though that we didn’t get a Parfait Cookie & Rockstar Cookie bond story. They could’ve rocked out together. What if they had a apprentice and mentor (respectively) dynamic. What if you did that devsisters. What if you did that

Also why in the shit balls and fuck did they make Shining Glitter a Super Epic??????? We just had a Dragon?????????

WHERE’S BAD4?!??!!,???!?!

[burningcheese-merchant]

okay enough with the ship discourse! let's lighten the mood with some season 10 discussions! I'm really really excited to see the latter half of the story, and I'm super curious how this will going into next months update too! chocolate bark, and whatever second cookie that'll come in july, I cannot wait to see how things play out, the dragons have some of the most interesting lore in all of CR history (second only to the Novas hehehe my awesome space super sentai family 😄)

Absolutely, my friend! No more dumb discourse, only good and silly vibes

I actually meant to make a separate post talking about my thoughts on Season 10 of Ovenbreak, but I was always too busy to do so. Your ask gives me an excuse lol

I have LOVED this update so far. It's so great. The story is so great. Longan Dragon being 1000000000000 kilometers long and looking like an eldritch horror? Basically being Jörmungandr from Norse myth? Peak. Longan Dragon trapping everyone in some kind of mind prison and forcing them to endure constant pyschological assault? Peak. More dragon family lore? Peak. Chocolate Bark? Peak, I love him, he's so handsome and perfect, if only he was in Kingdom too

I think what I've enjoyed most so far is:

Dark Choco and Chocolate Bark backstory. I really enjoy their little mentor/student bond. CB is such a fun dude. He's tough but he's lighthearted and has a sense of humor. The way he speaks to DC is so charming, he's like a older brother or uncle almost

I think Dark Choco really needed someone like this in his life, you know? It's a big shame he left, even if it was for an important mission. It makes me wonder how differently things would've turned out if he'd stayed.

Also...

"My father" this, "my father" that. #SayHisName, Devsis lol

It's cool to get official confirmation that the Dark Cacao Kingdom exists (existed?) in Ovenbreak as well. And by extension, Dark Cacao himself exists (existed?) there too. And... he's not the most affectionate dad still lol. It's ok, he's still my favorite Ancient and Kingdom character. I am begging and pleading Devsis for more lore on this, hell give us a whole update focusing on Dark Choco PLEASE, he's been so neglected in OB and it's been a huge shame because he gets more attention in Kingdom. I love Dark Choco, I love how tragic he is, I love his redemption arc. (It's admittedly... less compelling here than it is in CRK, but that can be fixed with a Dark Choco-focused update imo)

I just really, really adore seeing the dragons interact with each other. I love their dynamic SO much, they're my favorite group in this whole series. I'm nutso about them individually and as a family/clan. It's been awesome learning more about Lychee and Longan especially; I love Lychee's unwilling attachment to Rambutan and her apparent longing for proper attention from/bonding with Longan, I love the way the Pitaya-Ananas-Lotus trio bicker and banter, THE LONGAN CHARACTER STUDY‼️‼️‼️ Pitaya may be my favorite dragon but Longan is the most complex and interesting one by far. The warped affection he feels for his family. The need to protect and govern them. The way he perceives time and the world at large. His sociopathic desire for absolute control and revenge for perceived injustices. The way he tries to manipulate the others into agreeing with him and going along with his plans (those scenes in the Dark Realm are fucking crazy. The way he warps and weaponizes their emotions and memories is actual textbook abuser/cult brainwashing shit)

What the actual fuck dude. Ok, Charles Manson lol. And I thought Shadow Milk was bad. (No lie I find Longan Dragon 10x more intimidating than Shadow Milk. He exudes an aura that SM simply does not. THIS is power. THIS is boundless knowledge sharpened into a blade and held against your throat. Shadow Milk may be a god but Longan Dragon is above even godhood. I'm way more scared of Longan than any of the Beasts)

Biggest scene for me though?

WHAT??? LAST SURVIVOR OF THE FLOWER DRAGONS??? WHAT???????????

In hindsight... yeah it was kind of obvious something was up with Lotus Dragon lol. The one flower in a group of fruits. Pretty on the nose. But it's still crazy to think about, you know? What happened to the other Flower Dragons? Why is Lotus the only one left? How did the other Fruit Dragons feel about taking her in? How did SHE feel about that, essentially being adopted by a rival clan? What if they had something to do with the Flower Dragons' demise? They better address this in the next half of the story istg. I will lose it. I WILL write a sternly worded email to Devsisters. I WILL cry

What this says about Longan's character is also quite interesting. It appears that his respect and affection for dragons actually does extend beyond his own immediate family. Enough to take in an orphan. This capacity for compassion and generosity is so unlike how Longan normally behaves. It makes for a really fascinating pivot from his usual modus operandi and adds a lot of depth to his thinking and character

(honestly, this makes me want and hope for Longan Dragon's surrender even more. I've always thought that Longan willingly standing down and ceding victory to the other dragons would be more impactful than him simply being beaten the normal way, aka through the Power of Friendship and Punching Stuff. I want Longan's love for his family to win in the end. I want him to come to realize that he really would have no choice but to eradicate his family in order to achieve his goals, and then forfeit because he could never bring himself to do it. They're the reason why he's doing any of this in the first place. I don't want him to change his mind about mortals or anything, he can stay a genocidal race supremacist lol. I just think it would be more interesting if he willingly stopped what he was doing just because he can't let go of his kin. Perhaps he truly is only clinging to an idyllic past long dead. It would hurt. Hurt his pride, his ego. But their preservation would require the destruction of his clan and he cannot stand for that. THEY are his mission. THEY are his dream. Yes, Longan will forever mourn this loss as he shall forever mourn the past itself. But at least he'll still have those four afterwards. Even if they hate him.)

The dragons make me so ill. I need to pelt them with rocks. Gonna call the Stone Dragons Pitaya was beefing with in prehistoric times and ask them for a favor

SUPRISE POST ON COOKIE RUN

Hello everyone, today ill be asking you what kind of Icks do you have about the cookie run fandom! eather be ships, opinions on whaters/story, maybe even the ppl in here, anything! just dont harass anyone with it... please

also dont use this post to put down someone unless they shown to do actual harm. the last thing we want is a blown out situation just because some idiot desided to use this post for the worst. my ick is having the continuation of misgendering non binary cookies. like no joke i cant tell you how much ive seen ppl misgender the dragons, with the most common one being Pitaya as “he” in the kingdom side. hell i still see ppl who refer to Snake Fruit as “she”, like sure you can headcanon them as non binary AFAB but like- they are canonicly non binary, at least respect their pronounce same goes with cream unicron or roquefort, my god

[strangecake]

Everyone on Twitter was freaking out about the fact that mating season was """canon""" in the Cookie Run universe and getting specifically freaky about dragons, made me think that maybe omegaverse would not work in a world full of alphas then Snake Fruit "technically a dragon/imoogi" happened

Imagine fck up so bad u birth omega dragons into existence

[convocxrny]

Every time we see "beast x ancient is always pro/darkship and liking it AT ALL makes you a TERRIBLE PERSON" stuff in the crk fandom I have to wonder what it would look like if the villainous fandom was more alive. The Villainous fandom, where the most popular ships are.

Paperhat - abusive boss who literally owns Flug's soul and loves tormenting Flug physically, mentally, and emotionally

Idk the ship name but flug x heed - woman who drugged thousands of people into adoring and loving her to the point of obsession using Flug's thesis that she stole, including making her "fall in love" with her through this drug and kissing him while under the assumption he was still drugged

[geeky-zombie]

Every time someone says that you can't ship a character with anyone else because they're already in a canon relationship, a piece of my soul is violently ripped from me
