Promoting my fics always makes me feel slightly embarrassed but I've been writing a CRK fic for the past while if you'd like to read it <3 I am a big fan of taking largely lighthearted or silly media and thinking WAY too hard about its implications. If you are a big fan of dialogue that reads like someone trying waaaayyy too hard on a canvas discussion board for a class that isn't part of their degree, or if you like it when Pure Vanilla Cookie bullies Shadow Milk, you may like the fic I'm currently writing!

Chiaroscuro (25755 words) by Cinnamoncandyy Chapters: 6/? Fandom: Cookie Run (Video Game) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Pure Vanilla Cookie/Shadow Milk Cookie (Cookie Run) Summary: "In art, chiaroscuro (…) is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition." (Wikipedia). How long can a lie remain a lie before it becomes a justification to linger? For how long can one lie about motivations before the lie becomes their truth? Shadow Milk Cookie makes good on his threat that Pure Vanilla Cookie's kindness will be his undoing. He arrives in the Vanilla kingdom asking for help, claiming that his only followers have turned on him and his magic is gone. This lie wraps him up in itself until he is completely enmeshed, unable to tell where the lie ends, and where his true motivations begin.

Who put this shadowlily in my cookie run fanfic.....

From a fic that I'm currently uploading out of my files and onto AO3, I'll add the rest of the dialogue this is pulled from under the cut

 "Elder Faerie was… he was a dear friend, and he always endeavored to put his kingdom before himself. He understood me in a way no one had before, and I will eternally be in his debt for that. He would have done anything for his people. For me. But he did not understand you. It was not his job to, I suppose. You frightened his people and spread deceit. It was not his role to understand you.” She stepped closer, and he felt impossibly small under her unwavering gaze. “But I do.” The coldness in her voice cut like a knife. The hint of compassion underneath was salt in the wound.

A New Beginning – From Mosab in Gaza

My name is Mosab, and I’m writing this with honesty and humility.

I live in Gaza, where war has taken nearly everything from me — my home, my safety, and 25 members of my family, including my beloved mother, siblings, and their children. I’ve been displaced multiple times. Every day here is a struggle to survive.

In the face of this, I turned to the internet — not because I wanted to beg, but because I truly had no other way.

🧭 What Happened

A few months ago, a friend helped me create a GoFundMe campaign: 🔗 https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-saving-whos-left-of-my-family

Unfortunately, I could not continue working with the person who set it up. As a result, it was closed — and I had to start over again, this time on Chuffed, where I could manage everything myself.

I am the same person behind both campaigns — same story, same face, same truth. I only changed platforms to regain control and transparency.

💔 Why I Created Multiple Campaigns

I didn’t just make one campaign. I also helped create campaigns for my loved ones:

My wife Nadin, who’s caring for our 11-month-old daughter in these terrible conditions

My brother Abedmajed, and his wife Saja

My nephew Naser lost his mother (my sister) and his sister in a missile strike that hit our family home. That same strike also killed:

My mother

My other sister

My older brother, his wife and their daughters - all gone

My uncle, his wife, their sons, and grandchildren — all erased as well

That home was the heart of our family. And in one moment, it was gone — along with so many people I loved.

Naser, still a teenager, now takes care of his three younger brothers alone. His life — like mine — was shattered in an instant.

We are all in Gaza. We are all real. And we are all trying to rise, together.

⚠️ My Mistake

At the beginning, I made a big mistake.

I was so desperate to get our stories seen that I created multiple Tumblr accounts to send messages and reach more people. I didn’t understand that this would upset users or lead to the campaigns being flagged as spam.

I see now how that felt for others. And I am deeply sorry.

I never meant to deceive or annoy anyone. I was simply trying to survive — and to help my family survive. But I know now that good intentions don’t excuse bad methods.

🔁 What I’m Doing Now

I’ve spoken directly with Chuffed.

I’ve closed all old campaigns.

I’m keeping this account — @mosabsdr — moving forward.

I will be creating new, respectful, honest campaigns for myself and my loved ones.

I will reach out to GazaVetters again to explain and hopefully clear any misunderstandings.

🌱 Moving Forward

From this point on, everything I share will come from the heart — no pressure, no spamming, no noise. Just our truth, told with honesty and dignity.

If you’ve followed me, donated, or shared anything in the past: thank you from the bottom of my heart.

If you were hurt or bothered by how I reached out before — I truly understand. I hope you can see that I’m learning, and trying to do better.

This war has destroyed so much — but we are still here, and we are still rising.

If you wish to stay with us on this journey, I welcome you with deep gratitude. If not, I still thank you for reading and giving me your time.

With sincerity and respect 📍 Gaza | @mosabsdr

-insert ominous whistle sounds- caught up with chaos theory today and i'm obsessed with the Handler and her microbangs <3

[grim-arcade]

Combat went wrong or something, I don't really have a backstory for this one. I just think watching villains redeem themselves is interesting. The joy of drawing something slightly OOC is wondering what would need to transpire in order for it to be in character! Endless possibilities <3

[ID: An illustration of Pure Vanilla Cookie and White Lily Cookie. The two images have slightly different color grading and editing but are otherwise identical. White Lily sits with her legs crossed and has a smile on her face. Her hand is extended. Pure Vanilla leans over her and kisses the top of her hand. They are framed by trees and mist. /End ID]

The cookie game is slowly consuming the entirety of my focus. I finished my last final and immediately started churning out cookie fanart like my life depended on it. Please send help

i love them and i love us <3

scantily is basically the most classic way to be clad

[grim-arcade]

I found this in my camera roll while I was looking for something else and I thought the good people of tumblr might appreciate it. I have. Absolutely no context for this, by the way.

[grim-arcade]

holmes, whatever the case is.

patron saint of not giving a singular fuck, literally so iconic

fr tho, mari ibarra you will always be famous to me and i wish the show and the writers would’ve had the decency to not disrespect you </3

one of the first things i said after i finished the episode was “i’m not catholic i wasn’t even raised catholic but i need to make a saint candle to mari NOW” and i commit to the fucking bit. she is honoured on my altar forevermore with a coconut scented candle <3

Do the people of tumblr care about fake TV screencaps of me and my partner’s OCs? Is that a thing people are interested in?

🚨 Help Save Shada’s Family and Baby Adam! 🚨

My name is Shada Kassab, and I am a 24-year-old mother living in Gaza. Every day is a fight for survival for me, my husband Hussein, and our baby boy Adam, who is just five months old.

Our lives have been turned upside down by war. My home has been reduced to rubble, and my husband lost his water truck, which was our only source of income. We’ve been forced to evacuate twice—from Deir el Balah to the Nuseirat camp—and now, we live in constant fear of what the future holds.

To make matters worse, Adam was born with clubfoot and urgently needs surgery. The cost for his treatment and specialized medical boots is at least $3000, but this surgery isn’t even possible in Gaza.

I recently graduated as a nurse, and I dream of building a better life for my family. But to do that, we must leave Gaza and start over in safety.

💔 I need your help to save my family and give Adam a future. Even a small donation 5$ can bring us closer to safety, and if you can’t donate, sharing our story means the world to us.

I dream of living in safety, of seeing Adam grow up healthy, and of building a better life for us all. Please don’t give up on us. Your kindness can make all the difference.

❤️ Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your support and compassion give us strength to keep going.
