THAT'S HER DAD, MOM, AND PARENT!!!

the REAL reason why silent salt will basically adopt strawberry

+ bonus

silent salt wouldn’t be happy with shadow milk, either

"Oh, and when I had my reality shattered at a certain banquet :3"

They're very similar, no.?

THEMMMMMMMM <3

Hold on, speaking of evil counterparts-

We've got:

Evil counterparts.

-Evil connotations even. In Cookie Run, strawberries are usually associated with evil. This could just be a stroke of bad luck but: Strawberry Crepe Cookie, The Strawberry Choco Jam Blade, Strawberry Jam, Strawberry Cake Tower, Wild Strawberry Cookie (that's a name change though, originally, she was named Wildberry). Strawberry's artificially flavored, so maybe this is irrelevant but isn't that a track record jeez.

Introverts.

Insecurities regarding their fragrances.

-They have the same problem just in reverse.

In the Mines, they share the trait of being "Thorough." They keep track of the most minute details.

-White Lily is an actual genius. She skipped multiple grades, top of her class at fricking magic school, conducted experiments with books that the Academy restricted for only professors, and got access to a BUNCH of information in an attempt to reach her goal of helping cookie kid (location and date of the Witches' Banquet, ingredients for baking cookies, and managed to get to the Faerie Kingdom and seal the Silver Tree).

-While Strawberry isn't a "genius" academically or in a traditional sense (that's Wizard thing), we know she's got a good memory. She recognizes Pure Vanilla's statue in Episode 9 immediately and she's the first one to do so. She was also the one who remembered the original reason the team began adventuring: the cake hound with a crown. Wizard didn't remember that, he said that they started chasing Choco Werehound Brute. That's wrong (this isn't to dog on Wizard or anything, he's my son how dare you-) But canonically, he's smart, it would make more sense for him to remember. Unless they wanted to make a point that they never listen to my girl Strawberry 💔

The Pilgrim Path mountain statue thing directly parallels them (from the CRK China Balloon Expedition art).

And they found out cookies were made to be eaten first (out of their respective teams). And were the only ones to have actually seen it.

But we haven't had anything too recent considering the writers seem to have forgotten they set her up to have a BUNCH of story potential. All Dark Enchantress has to do is manipulate her and boom she's got an inside spy. A spy with a great memory, who's often overlooked, and who would be the LAST cookie anyone would suspect to betray them.

Not to mention the second track record with the Soul Jam of Solidarity (Solidarity both fits Strawberry and White Lily's characters, but quite frankly it could fit a lot of cookies). Silent Salt (spoilers for the end of Beast Yeast Ep 10) is HEAVILY alluded to have made the Silver Tree, the prison for their FRIENDS. That's betrayal one. White Lily accidently fell into the Ultimate Dough, giving birth to Dark Enchantress who then started the Dark Flour War and brought devastation to not just the Ancients but all of Earthbread. You can technically count that as betrayal two (Golden Cheese sure seems to count it-)

If I had to bet on a third betrayal? Strawberry could fit the bill. Easily, but not willingly. If a betrayal were to happen in canon, it's probably gonna be Gingerbrave given how he's our protagonist but honestly it would be a missed opportunity to not have it be Strawberry. The one who's the nicest, who's been through so much, deeply cares for her friends. The one who found out that her purpose was to be a mere snack on the night of her birth and has been bottling it up for most of the game's run. How would the team, her FRIENDS, even react to that.

i have more of these actually

[midnightmariana]

Been slowly losing it for years over the fact White Lily and Strawberry actually saw the Witches EAT cookies. They saw their gods eat them. Just think about that for a second.

Gingerbrave and Wizard (according to Kingdom lore) also know that cookies were made to be eaten however they didn’t actually see it happen. Strawberry told her friends; they didn’t actually witness the ordeal. But you know who did? White Lily. Let me reemphasize: Strawberry and White Lily are the only lore relevant characters who witnessed first-hand that the purpose of their species was to be mere snacks. Snack on that won't ya. Ba dum ching- And they haven’t done ANYTHING with them as a duo. (I’m excluding Pastry right now because she and the St. Pastry order are a whole other can of worms. They are more lore relevant now with Black Forest’s update though.)

They’re in an awkward position where White Lily isn’t gonna tell anyone the truth because she knows it’s forbidden knowledge. Meanwhile Strawberry is too quiet to speak up. Plus, she and her friends aren't as wary because they don’t explicitly know it’s forbidden knowledge, but Gingerbrave did deny their purpose when Dark Enchantress brought it up. Imagine that you tell your friend about a deeply existential and traumatic experience and then they tell your other friend that your traumatic experience WASN'T REAL.

I wonder how that felt-

White Lily and Strawberry aren't exactly the most talkative and they barely know each other. They're close in the sense that they are acquaintances and have known each other for as long as Strawberry’s been adventuring technically but never really talked.

They’re two sides of the same coin. They both witnessed the truth, one willingly and the other unwillingly. They dealt with the revelation in different ways. They went down different paths. Granted Strawberry didn’t have the power to actually start a war- And most likely can’t process the ramifications of cookiekind’s purpose. Strawberry had just been brought into existence and that's the first thing she saw.

And this hasn’t been addressed? I feel like the writers forgot they gave Strawberry a front row seat to traumatic forbidden knowledge 💔

Y’know what they’re MY obscure mother daughter dynamic now. Let them trauma bond.

The White Lily versus Silent Salt Beast Yeast arc is just gonna be them attempting to secure custody over the random child that reminds them of themselves.

They have parallels too:

They've both got fragrance issues.

They're both shy critters (slash hate people/lh).

They witnessed the horrors of their gods <3

Also, this Crk China Balloon Expedition image (I kid you not I was tweaking out over this singular image for weeks):

Devsisters gave me the most potential filled dynamic EVER and I’m gonna use it.

Do we want more crazed observations? Here's some stuff that struck me as odd that I jotted down after watching S3 Pt1 :3

Spoilers for S3 Pt1!!! None for Pt2 tho-

-> Episode 1: “That’s never been the way of this monastery.” Followed by an absolutely DIABOLICAL eyebrow raise. Lloyd didn’t really teach Frak how to change what Ras taught him. IN FACT he inadvertently doubled DOWN by saying:

-> Episode 1: “I like that enthusiasm, reminds me very much of Arin.” Y’know Arin? WHO LEFT TO JOIN RAS. I believe this could have led to Frak trying to prove himself as more than Ras’ lackey (in Episode 2). Btw Lloyd got hit with a piece of wood from the training course and just rubbed his head, like he barely felt it. Kinda like cough cough Powerlid-

-> Episode 2: “Can we not bicker. Let’s go.” Is a HUGE shift from how Lloyd usually attempts to diffuse arguments. He's been attempting wise leader stuff as of late, it's just kinda out of character-

-> Episode 2: “...” WHEN THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT ‘EVIL’ ONI. He kinda just stared into the distance that time. Obviously, you’d all think we’d immediately look at Lloyd for a reaction but HE’S NOT EVEN LOOKING AT FRAK AND SORA??? There’s no way the writers and animators would think we would NOT look at him. Why wasn’t he animated with anything besides a blank face, unless they’re trying to intentionally throw it out there that something is off with Lloyd. However, the team wasn’t exactly in the most welcoming place to go, “Oh yeah, I’m an Oni!” 

-> Episode 2: “Yeah even if there were a uh…” Lloyd didn’t hear them say cyclops LIKE SIX TIMES??? He was not there at ALL.

-> Episode 2: "I don't wanna turn around..."

-> Episode 2: “So… you two ready or what?” Lloyd said that very lightheartedly BUT Sora and Frak were having a REALLY emotional conversation about Arin. He should’ve known to not interrupt them.

-> Episode 4: “Will you two knock it off.”  Similar to the first Episode 2 line.

-> Episode 7: “What’s the point of a legendary weapon if I’m not gonna use it?” Lloyd was so RECKLESS WITH THAT. That is NOT what he’s been taught.

-> Episode 8: “If my uncle really caused the Merge, I have to believe he had a good reason.” Arin just told Lloyd that the Merge caused by his UNCLE is the reason his parents died. Read the ROOM.

-> Episode 8: “No… I didn’t mean… I-I just…” FOLLOW UP. WHAT LLOYD??? NO BUD NO. Lloyd sounds so tired it’s actually insane. 

-> Episode 10: “...” When Thunderfang throws him into the side of a CLIFF. He doesn’t put up as much of a fight. In fact, he seemed way more passive in battle (and all battles this season). Lloyd was always on defense, barely on offense. 

-> Episode 10: “I’ve had some pretty weird days… but this might be the weirdest one yet.” Lloyd casually joked. After he DIED. He had his soul RIPPED OUT after a gruesome battle. You don’t JOKE ABOUT THAT.

-> Episode 10: “...” WHEN SORA LEFT TO JOIN ARIN AND RAS.

Additional stuff:

Lloyd’s face is pretty much blank this season. 

That could be an animation thing for everyone, but you can just look at other characters to check that.

Similarly, the cast’s emotions were turned up this season (Kai and Nya’s sibling bickering, Roby and Wyldfyre being lovey dovey, Zane and Pixal winning couple of the year, Sora and Arin with their friendship being torn apart) providing a BIGGER contrast between their emotions and Lloyd’s seemingly lack thereof.

Lloyd’s interactions with Frak were… cold. It was purely professional, almost like Lloyd didn’t want to get attached. I wonder why lmao-

The Dragonians showed us that ancient magic can easily corrupt dragons. Hey Lloyd, you're part Oni and part what again?

These blades are magic right? How come slapping Lloyd around with a blade broke it? They should have just hit Lloyd with the blade, and it'd be broken. I wonder why they didn't retraumatize him-

There's proly a lot more that I simply just didn't right down- But yeah that's some of what I have rn >:3 I saw some of you guys reblog and I kinda wanted to give more of my thoughts :3

“Hit me all you want! Powerlid can’t feel a thing! Stub my toe? No pain! Bonk my head? Nothing! I can’t even feel… love. But Powerlid is not ready to expose himself emotionally!” Oh my God. Was this an allusion to Lloyd.

FOLLOW UP: Powerlid (the cyclops in Episode 2) refers to himself as the “Ultimate object of admiration,” orrrrrrr a title someone would probably give to the prophesied savior: The Green Ninja.

Realistically? Probably not. I’m 100% looking wayyyy too into it. I just thought it was interesting given the emotional numbness arc Lloyd is heavily implied to going through right now- If anything it just gave me more think about in a currently 2-page long Lloyd character analysis for this season.

[midnightmariana]

Eternal Sugar is watching White Lily too 😭😭😭

THIS UPDATE IS ABOUT TO GO SO HARD.

Boop!

NO FAIR >:0

[midnightmariana]

Hello my friend, I hope everything is fine with you, do you know if season 7 of PJ Masks will be released this year?Also, what are your expectations for season 7? Mine are these

1 - Armadylan joining the team (he is one of my favorite characters, I was upset that he only appeared in two episodes and then left, I hope that in the 7th season he appears more)

2 - new villains (I would really like them to talk more about Armadreado and for him to appear, but I think it is unlikely, I hope that this season there will be new villains, a scientist villain like Romeo could appear to be his partner, since he still doesn't have any partners like the other heroes and villains)

3 - the return of Orticia, Munki-gu and Teeny Weeny

4 - new places (I hope that in the 7th season, the PJ Masks go to the world beyond, and who knows, maybe talk about Lilyfay's planet) Now tell me, what are your experiences for season 7 and what do you hope to see?

Hellooooo >:)

As for Season 7's release date, we don't have one as of right now, our best guess is that PJ Masks is on hiatus. There's been no news about cancellation but there's also been no news about a renewal. Maybe they'll do something for the ten-year anniversary?

The director did quit and if the show was on a decline, it would have most likely already been cancelled. Another thing was that the studio responsible for animating PJM was also bankrupt for a while and was recently bought by another animation studio. But the fact a cancellation wasn't announced means that Disney might be holding on to PJ Masks until they find a new director and studio. Besides, PJM: Power Heroes has only had one season, and it doesn't make sense to invest in an entire soft reboot and drop it after one season especially with an IP as popular and well known as PJ Masks.

My guess is, without an animation studio or director, PJM would have been cancelled already UNLESS Disney still thought it was profitable.

But everything's still a GIANT "maybe," until we receive more news.

However, if Season 7 was to release, I'd like to see:

ARMADYLAN PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Dylan already had amazing character development JUST to get thrown AWAY. I’m so glad he came back for a couple episodes but still, only two? I guess he didn’t fit the brand which was a real shame cuz he’s such an interesting character. The Armadreado lore drop gave him even more to work with. I want him back, don't get me wrong, HOWEVER not with the Power Heroes, they mistreated him WAY too much. Maybe as a solo hero doing his own thing like before because the Power Heroes have burned that bridge.

2. SOMETHING to do with the Mystery Mountain lore.

Bring Munki Gu back!!! He knew something I SWEAR- I say as they drag me into a white room- The amount of lore POTENTIAL for Mystery Mountain has me crashing out. They were still thinking about An Yu’s lore in specific during S6 too: An Yu’s Birthday, the “Inner Dragon of Anger” comment, the joke about 20,000 year old dragons, the Power Heroes game had an entire Mystery Mountain level with a BUNCH of stuff, and Pharaoh’s Mountain gave us  the inevitable An Yu crash out. The writers set up SO MUCH just to not address it and make Munki Gu disappear- 

3. No more characters-

I actually think we don't' need any more characters- I KNOW this is inevitable, but THE CAST IS TOO BIG. They’re lovable characters but we just can’t TAKE ANY MORE. They literally wrote off Orticia, Munki Gu, Teeny Weeny, and Dylan (some of the more interesting characters-) cuz we had too many characters- While I do miss the old format of the show, it’s too late to turn back now- And they’re kinda making it work? The new format was a solution for the overflow of characters but we’re still at max capacity for characters- If they do want more characters, bring fan favorites back or introduce something interesting- We just straight up don’t need any more-

[midnightmariana]

Oh my God, the Mountain's a narcissistic parent.

How come every mystery mountain episode is "do this menial and highly specific task or the whole mountain will FALL APART LIKE A DRAMATIC BITCH"

[midnightmariana]

"AND the OMNIPOTENT MAGIC MOUNTAIN will NOT help you out at ALL but will NOT hesitate to help the ENEMY."

How come every mystery mountain episode is "do this menial and highly specific task or the whole mountain will FALL APART LIKE A DRAMATIC BITCH"

[midnightmariana]

YURIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I LOVE THEM SM

THESE TWO BUT I AGED THEM UP!! I hope u like the designs! Also a comic! :3

YOU CAN'T JUDGE ME OKAY? -

[midnightmariana]

so sleep deprived they forgot the lyrics

HOW DID IT TAKE ME THIS LONG TO REALIZE THAT THEY CHANGED "BEDTIME" TO "NIGHTTIME"

[midnightmariana]

we need more PJ R!ders merch ngl

Do you think there should be more PJ merch? Not just the main trio but the terrible trio too.

Absolutely! I rarely see it anymore and when I do it’s kind of crappy. PJ Masks merch should be SO easy to design bffr.
