Crappy thumbnail lookin' ass doodle of my Rich Cheese Cookie to let everyone know I'm still alive and fixated on cookies. Maybe I'll redraw it into a full thing, maybe not. It’s as much of a mystery to me as it is to you.

Anyways, she expresses herself with her wings. When she gets very upset or unconsciously wants to look intimidating, she'll hold them up really high. Sometimes it makes her look goofy, but other times it has the intended effect.

Oh yeah. I might also start calling my version of her Gilded Gouda Cookie instead of Rich Cheese Cookie. It makes sense in the context of her story, I promise.

#my art #sketches #rich cheese cookie #crk #in terms of the new name its likely she either renames herself or she was born with it but it had.. unintended implications #notice how the word 'gilded' implies only a surface level luxury and value compared to the word 'golden'#notice how little value many gilded items hold im actuality because it's just flimsy gold leaf that if stripped is worth next to nothing #gilded things are still beautiful but its only an illusion compared to solid gold #she may have renamed herself that after her escape to avoid others thinking she is wealthy and worth robbing or attacking..#the glitter is just for show folks. you don't need to assault the person with the word 'rich' literally in her name #either way it is a play directly on golden cheese cookie's name #gilded = golden / gouda = cheese #so perhaps she unconsciously was thinking of her mother if she named herself. or golden cheese named her after herself #bc she is a little full of it. but not in a cruel way or anything she just wouldnt have realized subtle implications #LEANING TOWARDS her naming herself bc that says more abt her as a character yanno #I am rambling so much in these tags that it probably should've been in the main body with the rest of it #oh well #OH YEAH on the flip side gilding is a super time comsuming and delicate process. basically an art #so gilded things are valuable due to the skill and time and effort required to make it #not just because they’re made of a particular material #do with that what you will but I pay a lot of attention to subtle implications #esp in terms of characters. usually anyways
