Oh my, Soul Jam play is real...

At first, I was a bit skeptical about the theories of Sugarfly Cookie being based on the Greek goddess Psyche, but this new update has me convinced.

I believe this loading screen is based on a statue by Antonio Canova depicting Eros and Psyche embracing each other.

I haven't seen anybody else talk about it and I feel like I am going insane!

Have you all seen the new trailer? It is so gorgeous! I am looking forward to how the new Episode of Beast Yeast will play out. I have refrained myself from making too many new elaborate theories or analyses before the story would be concluded, but the new trailers really sparked some thoughts inside of my brain I desperately need to get out.

Awakened Hollyberry Cookie is also called Aegis Hollyberry Cookie. In Greek mythology, the Aegis is a powerful shield wielded by both Athena and Zeus. Hollyberry Cookie wields a shield as well, and with her transformation her shield does the same. She remembers the true purpose of her shield, and the fact she held the shield not to protect herself, but to protect others. To be underneath someone's aegis means to be protected by someone. Awakened Hollyberry Cookie is the Aegis, the powerful protector of her Kingdom.

A more curious thing about this Aegis name is the fact that in Greek mythology, the creature making this shield so strong is the decapitated head of Medusa. This head is what makes the shield so strong. Medusa is a Gorgon, a monstrous creature with snakes as hair, who can turn anyone who looks at her into stone.

Eternal Sugar Cookie has some minor allusions to Medusa in her design. She has a lot of snake symbolism surrounding her, possibly connecting to the snakes in Medusa's hair. But more importantly, she is implied to be able to turn other Cookies into statues, according to a line of dialogue from Pavlova Cookie.

The head of Medusa sits in the middle of the Aegis. Awakened Hollyberry Cookie's shield has her usual Soul Jam slightly altered, looking pointier like the one Eternal Sugar Cookie has. Additionally, it has wings, like Eternal Sugar Cookie as well.

I wouldn't say that this insinuates Hollyberry Cookie has decapitated Eternal Sugar Cookie for her shield, or ripped off her wings. It would be pretty out of character for Hollyberry to be so violent towards Eternal Sugar. Perhaps this is simply implying the internal battle of defeating Eternal Sugar's temptation of Sloth, rather than a physical one. And the triumph of that inner battle made her (and with that her shield) stronger.

I am very curious about this new chapter, I can not wait! I avoided talking about Shadow Milk Cookie, because I genuinely have no idea what he could be doing there, but... I can't say I'm not interested.

Hi dear readers! This evil pink Cookie will not stop eating away at my brain, so in an attempt to get her to stop for a little while, here are my theories about the story of these upcoming chapters based on the new trailers!

Keep in mind that this is all for fun, and I am in no way a professional on any of these topics!

On the title screen, Eternal Sugar Cookie is holding a yellow fruit, perhaps an apple, with a snake wrapped around it, holding it out to Hollyberry Cookie. This is a reference to the Biblical story of Adam and Eve. The devil, disguised as a snake, offers the Forbidden Fruit to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden is also called the Paradise.

Both the names 'the Garden of Sweet Delights' and 'the Paradise of Passion and Sloth' seem to be referring to this. Eternal Sugar is the devil, offering Hollyberry Cookie a fruit. The Forbidden Fruit represents temptation. Eternal Sugar is tempting Hollyberry with her paradise, her ability to make her endlessly happy.

The fruit Eternal Sugar is holding is a yellow apple, or more specifically, perhaps a golden apple. This could be a reference to the Apple of Discord from Greek mythology. The Apple of Discord is an apple that was given to Paris, with the words 'For the most beautiful' written on it. He had to choose between the goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. He eventually gifted it to Aphrodite, which started the Trojan War.

Eternal Sugar Cookie is most likely based on Aphrodite, so this could be a nod to that. Or that when Hollyberry takes the metaphorical apple (gives into her manipulation), all hell breaks loose. Or they simply chose the color yellow because it has a bigger contrast with pink than red does.

Eternal Sugar Cookie seems to be able to make anyone feel happy. Feel 'relaxed', and like they are 'floating on a cloud'. Sugar in itself can be an addicting substance, with some studies even suggesting it might be more addictive than cocaine. Sugar releases dopamine in the brain, making you feel happier and more energized. This makes you associate the intake of sugar with something positive, making you crave it again once the effects wear off. It works like any other addictive substance, be it alcohol or cocaine.

Eternal Sugar promises eternal happiness, even calling herself 'the Bringer of Happiness'. She has a large statue inside of her Garden of Sweet Delights, surrounded by ionic columns. Columns are often associated with ancient Greek architecture. The ancient Greeks also often erected statues of important people, but above all, of gods.

After Hollyberry Cookie approaches the statue, Eternal Sugar Cookie descends from the sky, like a divine being. She makes it seem like she is a savior of some sorts who can make all pain go away.

Wrapped around the columns are grapes. Grapes are sweet, but are also used to make wine, an addictive alcoholic substance.

Another thing I noticed was the appearance of the Ouroboros. This is a symbol of a snake eating its own tail. It symbolizes eternal cycles. This could symbolize the (seemingly) endless cycle of addiction, and with that the 'eternal happiness' Eternal Sugar promises.

Eternal Sugar Cookie once held the Soul Jam of Happiness, which then corrupted into Sloth. The part she is missing is the Passion Hollyberry Cookie now holds in her Soul Jam. Perhaps this is a metaphor for depression, as Eternal Sugar compares happiness to a butterfly that she can't seem to catch.

She tells Hollyberry Cookie her passions will only lead to suffering. This might only be Eternal Sugar lying to Hollyberry Cookie to manipulate her, but it could also be Eternal Sugar Cookie's own perspective and experiences. Perhaps she saw Cookies that were dear to her crumble, making her depressed and lose her passion and motivation, wanting to escape from the harshness of reality with her dreamlike illusions.

And this might all be wishful thinking, but Eternal Sugar might even yearn to be truly happy again. This gives her a motive besides mere power to try and get Hollyberry Cookie's Soul Jam back, making her more of a tragic villain.

The happiness Eternal Sugar spreads is devoid of any passion. It is an easy way to escape and forget your pains, but real happiness can not exist without the pain that goes along with life. Perhaps that could be a moral the story will convey.

Or not! This is all mere speculation. I think the story has a lot of potential to explore deeper themes, and I can not wait to see what they will do with Eternal Sugar Cookie!

Hi everyone who happened to stumble upon my humble post! I am absolutely terrified of the internet and its inhabitants when it comes to sharing ideas and opinions, but I am simply too ecstatic about Eternal Sugar Cookie and her upcoming update. I swoon over cute characters who are secretly evil. It feels like I will implode if I do not share these thoughts, so please, feast on my theories!

This post will focus on Eternal Sugar Cookie's design alone. I might write a different one about her Garden of Sweet Delights and more in depth theories about her story soon.

Keep in mind I am not a professional, and feel free to share your thoughts with me!

Eternal Sugar Cookie has both angel and devil motifs in her design. She has two big white wings and a halo floating above her head, giving her the appearance of an angel. At first glance, this makes her appear divine, innocent.

But when you take a closer look, she has a different set of wings underneath, darker and pointier than the white ones, and a spaded tail, typical attributes of a demon. This all alludes to her not being the sweet entity she appears to be.

Her eyes are pink with white slit pupils. Slit pupils are often associated with snakes. Snakes symbolize deception, if not the devil itself.

Something also worth mentioning, and something that also may be a stretch, is the tiara on her head that holds her Soul Jam. The head garnment makes shapes on the sides of her head that almost make it look like she has devil horns.

Eternal Sugar Cookie wears a white dress, which appears to be a toga, a type of robe people wore in ancient Greece. This specific style of robe might have a different name than a toga, considering there are many different styles, though I am not very knowledgeable on that subject so I couldn't say which one for sure.

She also plays a lyre, an instrument that was one of the most, if not the most important instruments to the ancient Greeks.

She also has a lot of themes in common with the goddess Aphrodite. Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love, beauty and procreation. She has a lot of pink in her design, and hearts on her lower wings, both symbolizing love.

One of the animals associated with Aphrodite is the white dove. Her large white wings could, aside frrom the obvious angel imagery, resemble a pair of dove wings. White doves symbolize purity, which ties in nicely with the idea she is trying to appear innocent.

Another detail I noticed was the little arrow underneath Eternal Sugar Cookie's Soul Jam. It could be a coincidence, but it looks like the symbol of Venus, Venus being the Roman counterpart of Aphrodite.

Those were my thoughts and theories about Eternal Sugar's design! There's probably some overlap with the ideas of other people out there, but I hope I might have given some new insights. Feel free to discuss other theories, I'd be delighted to read them!
