So I heard someone mention recent Cookie Run designs somewhere, and it made me remember this thing I was going to post about a couple weeks ago
Namely, the Witch’s Castle designs, since I personally think they’re the weakest we’ve been getting recently
Like, they aren’t the worst thing ever, but a good half of the original Witch’s Castle Cookies feel overdesigned to me, or they’re too busy
Like, why do Marble Danish, Sachertorte and Onyx Cream have 4 different hair colors? Why is this necessary?
And I feel like they just have some unnecessary details that really didn’t need to be there, like the fur on Marble Danish’s coat, or the sprinkles on said fur
It also personally irks me how Onyx Cream’s outfit has so little black or other dark colors. His name is Onyx Cream, and Black Cream in the original, and yet the black in his design is really only around his head. I don’t know, I feel like the darker colors should have been more prominent
Also I think Onyx Cream looks a bit too similar to Marble Danish, at least in terms of basic outfit things. Not only that, but their descriptions say that Marble Danish is made of cacao and butter, while Onyx Cream is made of cocoa powder and cream. Also, they’re both swordsmen. I don’t entirely know how similar they are in character yet, but they feel q bit same-y to me. Which wouldn’t necessarily be a huge problem if Onyx Cream didn’t come out only a couple months later
And as for Snow Crystal, I know she had the whole “she looks AI generated” thing going around, but honestly I think her hair is the main culprit
I feel like it just looks really ill defined, and with that, it makes it look more AI-ish
Personally I don’t really hate her design, and I like the color combos, it’s just her hair that irks me, because it really doesn’t scream “snow crystal” to me, maybe if her hair were more angular and rigid, or at least more together
Also she’s got this very light and flowy feel towards her in her animations, but that’s not really the vibe I get from the name Snow Crystal. I know snowflakes and such are light, but her name I feel like doesn’t match. I did find out there are apparently these tulips called “snow crystal”, which I feel like would make plenty more sense with her design, but her description tells me that no, she’s supposed to be like a snowflake snow crystal
Maybe I am being too picky, and I know my brain is wired to this philosophy of “simpler = better” despite that not always being the case, but I just feel like they have all these unnecessary details
Radish, Rosemary and Witchberry I don’t really have much problem with, I think their designs are perfectly fine as is, and I can maybe excuse the detail on First Cream, at least in her hair, but I feel like the Witch’s Castle designs are a bit hit or miss for me, and I really don’t know whether to expect more misses or not, since all the ones I like were here since launch

one thing I will say for the cordy stuff in season 4 actually is that it is inadvertently in very effective conversation with the rest of the show. bc ppl talk about how bad her treatment in that season was but at the end of the day truly what was it other than a logical extension of how the show always treated her? she was always being deprived of bodily autonomy and having her body altered without her consent it was just maybe easier to forgive until it hit the point it hits in season 4, when cordy is deprived of agency and autonomy to the point of no longer even really being present. the call was coming from inside the house etc.

Just got reminded that today I'd the 31st and not actually the 30th. I thought I had more time for this. I do not!!!
2023 has been... a year. Not a particularly good year, but not a bad one either. Just a year!! Having said that, though, alot of good things happened. I made a few new friends + graduated this year! Turned 18 – which isn't one of the good things it's just a thing that happened but ahhh whatever whatever – and got new friends (albeit over on discord). Plus !!! Mutuals made alot of bangers this year and I love that 🙏🏽
Hoping I get more social in 2024. I'd like to try and reach out more!! Be more sociable. And not be scared!! And also make more content eyeas yes 🦫
(This was so bad but man I am BAD at this 💔. Girls can't do talking posts (I'm girls))
Here's to the end of 2023 and a Happy New Year 🫡!!!!!
