For some reason I just imagine Cream Unicorn cookie would get Affogato cookie in constant trouble. Mostly because of how they keep kidnapping cookies on accident. Like he just goes to her carnival and wonders why Santa is there.

(I will never stop loving that part of the holiday special)

Wait what holiday special??? I’ve never heard of this TOT also not to sound rude and/or pretentious but isn’t Cream Uni nonbinary? I know they use they them in the game tho

But you’re so right tho like they totally do TOT

"Goodbye James"

James woke up in a cold sweat, he'd once again dreamt of that day. The day he lost who he believes to be the love of his life. The day he saw marked skin that could never be forgiven. Dreamt the feeling of tears falling down his face as he processed the end of what he thought was only the beginning. The look of pain on his boyfriends face as he choked the words out to finish breaking James' heart. The knowledge that the man he loved didn't want this either. The knowledge that this wasn't a breakup due to lost feelings but because there was no other way they could have gone.

The reoccurring dreams hurt so much more because he has never been able to escape the love he feels.

And now they hurt more because he will never see Regulus again,

since he doubts the afterlife will allow them even a second more time than life already gave them.

it suddenly occurred me that when it comes to aglaea in yandere scenarios for amphoreus characters, this woman is able to know exactly how much the chrysos heirs are obsessed or smitten with their darling because she is overseeing everything through her threads. which means that aglaea is aware when yandere chrysos heirs are being losers in love.

depending on circumstances, aglaea is actually someone… who can be capable of protecting darling from worse off amphoreus yandere, actually?

i mean, aglaea wouldn’t necessarily meddle in the private life and habits of the chrysos heirs (good OR bad), but she is still lucid enough to differentiate right from wrong (thankyou Tribbie-sensei), and perhaps if things get too serious and order of okhema is being threatened, she will step in

…or if you’re unlucky, she just ties you back up and sends you back to yandere phainon or mydei

what i mean with this is that aglaea is either your greatest ally or another nail in the coffin

does she go with “what is humanely correct” or sacrifice you to the starving wolf for amphoreus’ future?

The insanity and deep fucked up romanticism of two sapphic goddesses fucked over by the politicking of the homophobic followers of Helio/Sol to be forcibly corrupted into darker forms in order to survive which resulted in their separation for centuries only to be reunited in death is so poignant and so good

On a totally unrelated note, dark!Bad Kids au where Fig and Kristin become the lead cleric and paladin of these darker forms instead of redeeming them and absolutely destroy the Helio-ic religion in vengeance

Someone gave me this keychain, can you tell me who they are and what you think about them? I know nothing about cookie run but I’m guessing they’re like a pancake/croissant themed evil sidekick?

This is Pancake Cookie! He’s actually a very good boy, and he likes gliding around n looking for acorn jellies. He also likes playing pranks with his friends Gumball Cookie and Cherry Cookie, from what I’ve gathered from stories and character descriptions. I think he’s a cute lil guy n a pretty good beginner-stage cookie 🤎🥞🐿️

SPOILERS FOR ANDOR SEASON 2 EPISODE 6

Let me tell you something: I've been watching Andor since the very first episode, and I have nothing but praise for this show.

Well, "had" is more correct.

Yes, I know, Cinta's death was supposed to illustrate the danger of disorganisation and not obeying a hierarchy. Sure, not everyone can have a happy ending when you're fighting for the rebellion. Heck, I'm not even expecting one character (well, except Mon Mothma) from the main cast to survive past the events of Rogue One. But see, there's writing a character death and writing a character death.

Cinta, as a character, was not respected in season 2 - not in her arc, not in her death. Honestly, I was waiting for something like that to happen: we barely see her in the trailers. My hopeful ass was like, "Well, that's because she's doing awesome shit - therefore, they don't want to spoil too much of what will happen by putting her in the trailers." But there was another explanation: they kill her off early, and she barely appears in the season at all. Guess what they choose.

And for what? We already got an arc about disorganisation/not obeying the hierarchy within the Resistance with Cassian in the first three episodes. The French Ghorman Resistance was bound to fail somehow - we've known this for multiple episodes. Do we need to sacrifice a main character over this?? Really?? Especially to make them fail in such an underwhelming manner??

It all just feels so pointless. Of course, the angry guy from the meeting will appear out of nowhere in the middle of the night. Of course, even though they have no reason to hate each other, him and the man-child will fight right away and use the gun. OF COURSE Cinta will be at the right place and the right time to get fatally shot. One single shot, not even aiming at anyone, from more than 10 meters away? Is it that easy to kill someone - apparently so. Cassian can cross an entire battlefield of dozens of soldiers shooting each other (while being hunted by wild animals in the night) and don't get shot once.

But the entire "these are all very arbitrary circumstances pushed to make the death happens" is not even the most important part. The death itself is not the most important part.

No, the most important part is to whom and how and why it happens in the first place. Cinta is utterly disrespected as a character (or, since Andor is still really high-quality writing, let's say she's the less respected character in the entire cast):

1/ she's brought back for a real plot line (of ONE EPISODE) only to be killed - she's got, like 4 or 5 scenes top.

2/ she does NOT appear, except for the equivalent of a cameo at the end of episode 3, at ALL in the season.

3/ when she does appear, her entire character is focused on Vel (her lover) or secondary to Vel - and I bet her death will be used to further Vel's character development... which is... fishy when the poc character only exists as a prop for the white main character...

4/ she KISS the woman she loves (after an off-screen arc where she realises the importance of her loved ones, and not of only the mission), and she's KILLED in basically the next scene (I'm having PTSD about this, seriously, are we doing Clexa again???), which is very, very tone-deaf at best, insulting at worse for the queer audience.

5/ the only reason for both Cinta and Vel to come to Ghorman is EACH OTHER. They come here to see each other and reconnect, and this decision pushes them part - definitely. What's the message here? Love a woman and die, I guess? (OK, I know there's no really happy ending here, but seriously, Brasso got years with his lover before dying)

7/ again, can I stress the gravity of Cinta being written this way as a poc AND queer character? As the only queer poc character of the show? Yes, you should be more careful with this type of character. No, it's not the same killing Brasso with a stray bullet (it's not even a stray bullet, the stormtroopers are aiming at him) and Cinta with a stray bullet. Yes, it means something when the less well-written character of the cast is the queer woman of colour. It's disrespectful. And don't tell me Brasso's death and Cinta's death have the same weight, because Brasso has three episodes before dying - he has multiple scenes, new relationships, scenes with Bix and the boy and the robot. And he dies trying to save his family from deportation. It's not the same at all.

8/ btw, are we talking about Cinta being this ninja badass rebel who survives nuclear level shit (wasn't her entire people/family murdered? she was in the rebellion for years and did multiple high-risk missions), getting killed by a stray bullet? She's not even dying to protect Vel from the stray bullet or something (well, maybe that wouldn't work well either, I don't know).

But see, my main problem isn't that Cinta dies. It isn't really the message behind it (well, the "good" message: not respecting hierarchy and disorganisation will get innocents killed) either. No, it's the way it was done. How can you respect Cinta as a character, you might ask?

Well, you give her an actual arc for all of season 2. Without and with Vel as a partner. With her own character development onscreen. When she dies, it's at the end of the series, when she's had something to do for the rest of the season. Also, you don't kill her minutes after getting her and Vel together - that's just shitty and way too reminiscing of the way ALL OF THE LESBIAN CHARACTERS ARE KILLED EVERY FUCKING SINGLE TIME - "kiss your lover and die from a stray bullet that was 100% avoidable". We've got enough of this plot thank you, it's not even surprising anymore. My gosh, I'm not even asking for her to live happily ever after, I'm asking for a death that makes sense and is earned (story wise). I don't want just the chock-value, I want the meaning for the dead character (and not only for her girlfriend whom she has been back with for 2 sec after years of separation bc of an "unknown injury we don't want to waste time or energy developing" in the story).

Is that so hard??

Apparently, it is. I was so happy to watch the very first lesbian kiss (with named characters and good angle and everything) on a Disney show. Ofc they couldn't let that pass without killing the poc lesbian, too. Guess that's the curse huh? Bix and Cassian also get to kiss, yet the only result is them blowing up torture guy in a blaze of fire and coolness.

So yeah, I'm pissed off. I'm still into the show (I wasn't in it for the gay content), but that's a stain that will taint it forever, to me. It's not perfect anymore. I know it's only fiction, but fiction represents/influences the world as well. It's important too (especially regarding minority characters).

Anyway, hope Cinta's death will at least not be hidden under the rug and actually have a big impact on Vel in the future episodes.

Rest in Power, Cinta Kaz.

You deserved better.

im thinking about celestia and the abyss being literal opposites (chaos and order) and im thinking about childe and lumine being sort of embodiments of that, just not in the way we think. after the latest natlan quest its clear to us what the fatui intends and what they want- i think the tsaritsa more than anything loves humanity, which is why she directly opposes celestia who are known for bringing down different civilizations. childe, as Her weapon and Her blade is an extenction of that: he's a blade forged by the abyss, bathed in Her holyness, meant to strike down those who sin. lumine (talking solely about traveler lumine) is the literal sister of the prince of the abyss, she has clear ties to it and at this point in the story still is hesitant about fully opposing him (i love angst). her entire story revolves around chaose and disrupting celestia's (and the fatui's) order. isnt that fun

i think what childe longs for the most is control- control of himself, his life, his powers, his story, his fate. i think what lumine wants the most is freedom, which is just another phacet of chaos

anyways. you see it. the themes are theming

"I have almost forgot the taste of fears; The time has been, my senses would have cool'd. To hear a night-shriek; and my fell of. . . Of. . ."

(What was the next line?)

". . . Forget it."

(You sigh and look out to the night sky. The stars hide tonight, that's alright. You just liked the cool air of the night.)

(Who are you.)

(And who do you want to be now?)

(. . . . Time is our playing, you mold it like clay. For a play has to be perfect, right? Then again, aren't the mistakes what give a play character?)

(Ha, character. You were one. You saw yourself, once, in a play. It felt. . . It felt strange.)

(Then it seemed like no time passed at all, and you were wandering in a maze, lost, with no thought⁏ with only flight, and death. Then time passed, and you found yourself fighting that one you couldn't touch. Who you spared. And then with a snap of the fingers, time passed again. Like you didn't even exist.)

(. . . You should go back to sleep. You gave yourself ten days, then you would try and confront your others.)
