For the Cookie Run fans.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Before I start with this ranting essay I'd like to apologize beforehand. I'm really really angry right now. So I'm gonna swear a lot and definitely sound rude. I'm sorry. It's toughness you all need, really.]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think it's about time someone talks about one of the greatest flaws the Cookie Run Kingdom has: The problem with shipping characters.

Now, there's no problem with shipping the characters with eachother! (as long as it's not toxic, fetishizing, abusive, minor x adult or incest, like ew, what the actual fuck is wrong with you.)

But here's the problem. Something that really pisses me off about the Crk fandom is how they're so goddamn gatekeepy of the characters and some ships in particular. Like, chill the fuck out. They're just fictional characters, snap back to reality.

For example, Espresso x Madeleine. You people have made me hate this ship with all my heart and soul. No, I won't bash you for shipping it, I'm a nice person and I respect everyone's opinions and boundaries. And I expect you to respect mine, please. Please try and understand where I'm coming from.

One of the reasons I hate this ship is because I don't see them involved in a romantic relationship at all. I only see them as close friends. Plus Espresso used to be so irritated around Madeleine, like- the guy didn't even want to be around him until later on at the end of the odyssey when their friendship started getting better a little. Espresso clearly disliked Madeleine.

Here's the part where I'm gonna sound rude.

The main reason however..is you. Yes you, toxic fans. You all act like Espresseleine is the only thing people are allowed to ship. I've been bashed a lot of times for liking Espresso x Éclair, and that alone added fuel to the fire. And now the damage is done, so next time I get bashed expect me to lash out all my anger at you :)

Hell Espresso can't even be shipped with a woman. Because you people are convinced he's gay-coded. I'm sorry? Did the fucked up Devsisters confirm it? No, no they didn't. This is just something your delusional asses made up and thought it was canon.

No I am not homophobic, I'm literally pansexual myself. So don't even try and bash me. I've actually wanted to ship Espresso with a woman before, him with Chocolate BonBon! It seemed cute to me but then someone told me "Espresso is gay-coded so nah". They know who they are. I'm not mad, just disappointed.

Again, no it isn't confirmed. You all made this up! Let Espresso be shipped with someone else other than Madeleine, goddamn! Ship him with any other character, man or woman! Any gender! Go wild! People are allowed to ship whatever they want, so who are you to stop me? Who are you to bash me??

Mad respect to the actual sane fans, you all are gems. But seriously, let people ship what they want. Don't bash people for what they like and what they don't.

WAKE. THE FUCK. UP. PEOPLE.

THEY'RE COOKIES.

C O O K I E S.

FUCKING. FICTIONAL. C-H-A-R-A-C-T-E-R-S.

People are allowed to ship whatever they want, who are you to start lecturing them when you don't like it? Keep quiet and respect eachother, you wild animals.

"But he's gay!" "But she's a lesbian!"

I'll believe it when Devs say "Haha yes they're gay!", got it? Because so far nothing about the cookies has been confirmed, NOT EVEN THEIR AGES.

And when a ship is confirmed to be canon, again, people are still gonna keep shipping what they want. That's how fandoms WORK.

In conclusion: Please, stop. Stop bashing others for the ships they like, and stop putting labels on the characters and act like you own them. You can't expect people to completely agree with you when you say "Espresso is canonically gay!" "Espresso x Madeleine is canon! >:(("

Like, no. Shut up. Don't act like you own them. I'm getting sick and tired of the Crk fandom, I only stick around to see where the story is gonna go, and also to continue writing my Crk Oc's and roleplaying them. I'm actually scared to interact with other Cookie Run fans, because you all act like spoiled brats when something doesn't go the way you want or people don't ship what you like.

Get a life. <3

"What do you remember of being human, Echo?" The question is out of the blue and unexpected. But Sora offers a patient smile and tilts her head in curiosity, just enough that one of her ears flops over. It's endearing, if anything.

But Echo wishes she hadn't asked.

"Not much. Distinct memories are cloudy." A tired tone says softly, a pained recollection in her eyes and an acrid haze in her soul that endures, endures, and endures, "But I remember the discomfort more than anything. My body always did feel wrong back then. Misshapen. Condensed. Like it was too small for everything buried underneath, and that ache went so deeply some days that it would make my skin crawl. I hated that part the most."

At that, Sora's expression falls. She looks inexplicably sad, as if she'd hoped for a different response, a gentler one despite knowing the harsh truth about the dark future and the struggles Echo must have suffered. "But you had Grovyle, right? I'm sure he took care of you."

"He did, Sora, of course he did." A sigh, a flick of an ear and claws clenched tightly into the churned earth pressed under her paws. "I doubt I deserved his attention, though. I was too busy being angry at the world to give any care back."

In my lore, Echo does not look fully human during their time in the dark future. Since they were Darkrai before becoming human, and as a result of Palkia's reckless shattering of the Dimensional Portal which distorted both time and space, Echo's transformation was broken and accidental. They ended up looking pretty messed up and definitely (not) human. A lot of their characteristics as Darkrai carried over but rather morphed into something else.

And Grovyle, growing up in a world where humans have been extinct for longer than any living pokémon has been alive, has no concept of what a "true" human looks like. The only thing he knows is descriptions of humans from glyphs and texts in old ruins. Thus, he mistakes Echo for an actual human. And Echo, not knowing what a human looks like themselves due to amnesia, accepts this identification with nothing better to use.

I just remembered that AllWings exist.

u know that genre of art that’s like disney talking animal characters drawn as furries with piercings smoking weed in band t shirts. it will never stop being funny to me

[the-knife-consumer]

I feel lame for not having many ocs tbh. Whatever i do what i want forever

[spaciebabie]

I think you should tell me about your ocs

ooouuu okay okay i put my ocs in a random generator and the oc it picked was General Emily Mentie (so that i dont talk abt the same ones over and over XD)

shes quite an uptight sort of lady. i mean being the general of a military will do that ta you. obsessed with order and having everything be just so. she wasnt always like that though! a long long time ago she had someone in her life that reminded her ta let loose every once in awhile. someone who brought her so much joy day in and day out. someone who she thinks about daily now even though they've been gone for years.

she's been in a state of "hope" for years now. constantly chasing clues, coming up empty but never faltering never wavering. everyone around her keeps telling her ta, "move on" and "be more in the present" but she is in the present. and in the present she isnt here. things wont be complete until she is. someone like her could not have gone silently into the night like a whisper. she was too radiant. too bright ta be stamped out so young.

and yet she doesnt even know the half of it. she's chasing the ghosts of people who don't even exist anymore, and leaving the people who are still here in her wake.

I get really chatty at this time for some reason. it's like the very end of the day for me and very few people are active

[unnamed-proxy]

Decided that making a robo-sona would fix all of my problems (I was right) here they are!

[bardicious]

I'm writing out my superhero comic idea and it's history, and it's like embarrassingly obvious what my favorite shows are. lmao.

Finally got around my journal and started to write down the fics I’ve read, it’s been a hot minute since the last time I updated it

And it’s. There are. So many. I’m overwhelmed because I have them BARELY sorted out in folders.

Most are multi chapters. So like, I don’t know how the fuck I pulled that off while on the hell that was my finals season. Um. It’ll take a while until I get around updating the list here, planning to do a document with them

So um, in the meantime, anyone interested in fics?? Or sharing them, gosh please if you see this please please promote yourself if you are a writer, I beg I love

you ever think about the canon characters that your oc would get along with but keep it to yourself out of habit bc you naturally get nervous trying to connect anyone from canon to your oc bc you've had it drilled into your head that people hate that despite rp being 90% relationship building so ofc you're gonna have to think about this stuff

you ever realize you're just scarred from years of tumblr rp being icky towards oc's asdfg and this isn't from a place of bitterness! this is just genuinely me realizing i'm still very worried about stepping on someone's toes despite! having really cool mutuals!! i still get so nervous when i'm plotting with someone and it's their canon character against my oc. i might give them a really fun plot idea, but i also make it clear that it's cool if they don't want that dynamic with my oc. and it is cool, but it shouldn't be if it's only bc my oc is involved.

it's just!! a lil sad that i still get that way is all, especially when i'm sure a lot of people feel that way, too. there needs to be respect both ways, and there always should have been respect both ways. respect the person who put the effort into portraying a canon character, and respect the person who put the effort into creating a character. respect each persons' boundaries and their ideas. be willing to work with each other -- rp is collaborative after all! just!! respect each other enough to put in the work!!!

Also tonight I had a dream that I've discovered an actual in-game file showing how Ludwig and Laurence looked when they were people.

Like, I obtained the knowledge of their CANON look and faced the hard choice - do I screw up many artists that already got attached to their interpretation (myself included) or I pretend I haven't seen anything? Didn't help that Laurence looked quite nothing like how people pictured him - he was somewhat stocky built like a dwarf (fantasy species of Strong Guys) clearly older than 40 years and with short blonde hair, and his robes had super unique design and not just 'Choir clothes but with no hat'. Ludwig was more or less common design of a huge guy with strong face features and very dark brown long hair like Adella's.

....and I decided to reveal the information because truth was more important. XD Once again: take away my Rom privileges please, I am not Rom, I am Simon 💀

[fefairys]

be honest do u guys think my salem blog is like. weird. like in a bad way. like idk to me its just sort of a kin blog sdlkfjsd but i feel like if i sent a stranger an ask from his blog saying i liked their art "in character" (kin shift) and they looked at the page on his blog that explains that hes a fictional character they might think that's weird. like should i just not interact with people from it unless i Know them..?

I hope my sophomore year English teacher is still out there by the time I get my first book published... I already have the dedication written out in my head

[synthetic-sonata]

its awesome being into a thing with a small cult(??? ig) following but it also means if you dont like someone's characterization you can outright talk about it or else youll be a dick . Except almost everyone has bad characterization of your favorite character and you're about to kill someone

[wildegeist-old]

Everyone talks about the joys of someone else being super invested in your OCs and while this undoubtedly feels absolutely awesome, I think there's also something to be said about the joy of being invested in someone else's OCs too. There's just vibes you get out of some people's casts of characters that you can't get anywhere else with their own unique flavor from that person, and they're just sitting there in relative obscurity spawned completely out of someone's mind with no media involvement or anything. Special kind of feeling
