Cookie Run AU Ideas #1 (or 2? Does the Herb Archer one count?): Crispia Academy

A school AU where all the cookies are students! The ancients are the teachers, and the students start to notice something...odd, about them. Such as the Mr Cacao's slip-ups where he starts using old slang no one recognises! Or when Ms Hollyberry started a rant about royal politics during a class when a student mentioned it, one swears that Hollyberry had a real shield. Ms Cheese's jewellery seems a bit too luxurious and Angel once mentioned that they saw Ms Cheese fly! But surely not, right? Magic doesn't exist, and people with wings can glide at most. Gardener Pure Vanilla is rumoured to actually be the principal, who has a love for tending to the plants around the school. The stories he tells are weirdly consistent and too detailed to be just stories. He often speaks of the characters while looking sad, or wistful...not to mention his odd habit of referring to people as "cookie". It hasn't happened a lot, but, weirdly, it happened more than once. And the school is apparently haunted at night, with eyes that watch from all the shadows. No one has managed to prove that yet.

The new students are strange too. After a visit from a guest no one recognised, some guy named Wind-something started to attend the school. Followed shortly by another student, who was eccentric and hot-headed.

The school's conspiracy club is never quiet.

OR

The Ancients are immortal, watching the cookies they knew succumb to time and the world change around them. Since there are few immortals around, they all end up meeting and become somewhat acquainted with each other. Cookies were no longer recognised as "Cookies", and magic was forgotten. It would never completely fade, though. Not with the elementals, who continued to watch the world. White Lily Cookie separated from them again, remaining by the Silver Tree as its new guardian. She needed to keep the remaining beasts contained, after all. They still keep in touch, whether it is through occasional tea or through the new electronics. Pure Vanilla Cookie eventually decided to open up a school, and his friends joined him as teachers. It was a surprise when centuries later, the reincarnations of the cookies they knew slowly started to attend. Millennial Tree Cookie even asked Wind Archer Cookie to disguise himself as a student! And with the wind, fire will always follow.

If there is one thing that has been created since the past that Pure Vanilla Cookie was thankful for, it is therapy. While they can't go to a therapist and just dump centuries worth of trauma onto some poor cooki- person, Pure Vanilla can most definitely take up the subject himself. He'd do anything to help his friends.

teased my therapist for being the kind of millennial who would call her dog a fur baby and she was like “oh yeah. my husband calls our actual human child a skin puppy.”

The metaphor of TV shows

When you talk about how a TV show affects you, you don't actually have to reveal too much of yourself.

Some people do and that's so delightful.

Some may only see the boring plot, laugh at funny scenes...

Others may see metaphors, make connections to their own experiences and get invested in characters' stories.

I like seeing people through the way they watch shows and movies.

And through characters we can experience without actually having to do something.

There's something to be said about having a therapist in your age bracket. Not dissing on having older therapists or younger. But the fact we can rant together about things I rarely can with older generations, and she just gets it, is so good for me.

[your-actual-therapist]

mrs. johnson no

in the past few years, i’ve come across social media posts from The Young expressing discomfort with the following things:

public speakers saying “good morning” and then subsequently, “oh, come on, you can do better than that. i said, ‘GOOD MORNING.’”

other forms of audience participation you didn't agree to (like that one weird restaurant at disney world where they yell at you, i am not kidding, i have eaten there)

asking little kids if they have a boyfriend or girlfriend

icebreakers in meetings no one seems to be enjoying

socially unavoidable hugs/touching

forcing autistic people to engage in eye contact

aggressive asking of pronouns

these items may seem disconnected, but i think they all point to something amazing about gen z.

when i was little, i was convinced that any discomfort i experienced a around an adult must be my fault.

when near-strangers insisted on hugs or rubbed my shoulders without my permission, no one saw it as a weird thing to do, so i assumed i was the weird one for being bothered by it. when i was cautious around [the soccer coach who turned out to be a creep/the guy who ended up embezzling money from my theater group/my grandma’s oddball friend who was estranged from her adult children, which is always a great sign], adults told me i was being paranoid, so i let it go.

i couldn't say that i disliked being around certain relatives or family friends, or that they were unkind to me. i certainly couldn't say it to their faces.

refusing to answer an intensely private question my parents asked? perish the thought!

no wonder i treat so many anxiety disorders in people my age. no wonder my 30-something clients don’t take themselves seriously when their bosses or dates are dicks to them. no wonder activists are asked to be more polite and kind with nazis. we were taught that the comfort of people in positions of relative power was more important than anything else.

i don't thing gen z accepts this at all. i think they're asking questions like "why is it so important that i say good morning to you, sweaty man who came to talk to us about why drugs are bad?" and "mrs. johnson i don't dislike you, exactly, but what makes your love for hugs more important than my not wanting to get your perfume on me?"

we are like “isn’t this tiny piddling stuff you should just put up with?” but they are like “no, Aging Ones, apparently it all adds up to a shitty world” and we’re like, “oh.”

Fellow Millennials, do you ever think about how much growing up with hypervigilance in the form of stranger danger fucked you up?

Therapist for Teenagers in Somerville, NJ

Meet Catherine Black, LPC (she/her/hers):

Hello! I’m a therapist at Olive Branch Therapy Group. I received my undergraduate degree in Child and Family Services and minor in Sociology from Montclair State University and my graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling from New Jersey City University.

My Therapy Specialties:

I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults dealing with:

Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Low Self Esteem and Body Image Issues, School Issues, Social Problems, Behavior Difficulties, Parenting, Venting, and Motivation.

What drew me to this work:

Growing up, I always knew I wanted to help people. I often found myself babysitting, listening to a friend’s problems, and taking pride in working with elders in a nursing home listening to their life stories. I always had a fascination with people’s habits, behaviors, and understanding the different ways the human mind can work. I went to school to learn how to help children and families who were struggling. Later, I went to Grad School to work as a School Counselor, I loved working one on one with children and helping them reach their goals even if they thought they’d never could. As I progressed in school, it became clear to me working in a private practice, helping people was exactly where I wanted to be. I knew this was the kind of work where I can directly help and educate clients on how to live their best life.

My Style:

My style is to help my clients feel welcomed in the counseling session. It is important, my clients feel safe and accepted because talking to someone about your fears, anxieties, issues, and bad habits can become uncomfortable quickly. As a counselor, my job is to help you overcome this struggle and look past the stigma, so these things are part of your history and you can grow into the best version of you. You are the expert in your life and I am looking forward to helping you.

Services I offer:

In-person individual, children, millennial, and young adults who live in New Jersey.

Catherine’s Credentials:

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Trained Clinician

Cognitive Behavioral therapy trained

Therapist just told my partner “Of course you have severe ADHD. Did you not already know that? Oh my god. How did you not already know?”

My best friend had this same experience a couple months ago.

I would like my two weird nickels, please.

[lucifer-hot-as-hell]

Should I scold my therapist for calling me cis-hetero? (In a rather casual conversation - so replace "my therapist" with "a gay man I value and like a lot")

I mean, I don't care about labels.

But I always say "I live in heteronormativ" but I still don't fully understand monosexuality.

I would totally shock him but still I feel like it wasn't right behavior and has to be ... Called out in a way.

[onesidedradiostatic]

VoxVal is just bizarre to me in the specific vein that I personally don't understand why you'd be in a relationship with someone you clearly don't get along with. Both pre-series and in current canon, it's outright said that Velvette is pretty much the only thing keeping them together. Does it still count as going to couples therapy if you're just friends with benefits and the therapist is your extremely unqualified mutual friend being forced to mediate

hmmmmmm I disagree that they don't get along actually.

like yes, vox did express annoyance at him at the beginning of episode 2, but that's because he was called to calm down his tantrum, does that sound enjoyable to anyone? we all have our moments where we're annoyed with our friends. I'd say outside of val's tantrums, they actually get along pretty well. and I don't believe his tantrums make up most of their interactions either.

like come on

does this look like someone he's not getting along with?

this isn't to say they aren't toxic, but they get along enough. and velvette may be said to be the glue between them, but I don't think she's the ONLY thing keeping them together I mean. look. she's probably a millennial, likely arrived in the 2000s-2010s, vox and val arrived YEARS before her. they likely held up on their own for 20-30 years so I don't think they're that unstable.
