Hollyberry needs to learn to stay out of the berry juice :/

Jokes aside, this comic is a partial vent and a projection of mine (as someone with a parent that’s mostly loving when sober, but becomes a very unsavoury person when drunk).

But unlike the adult in this strip, Calvin’s dad actually APOLOGIZED for yelling at him when he saw how guilty his kid was:

Aaaaall of the Ancients and Virtues together for me to look at and digest. The designs are still subject to change, I'll have to ponder the orb and look into the future for that.

You have no idea how excited I am to have these finished.....

She thinks that Sloth is the answer to Happiness because no one can be hurt or sad if they don’t do anything. She even still titles herself similarly to her Virtue counterpart (Sugar of Happiness -> Bringer of Happiness).

She doesn’t see herself as corrupted because she thinks she’s finally found an answer on how to make every cookie happy forever. It’s a really interesting part of her character that’s never really addressed.

I think this is why she dislikes the title of "beast." Why should she be called a beast for making people happy? That's her thought process, anyway

She genuinely believes she’s found some secret code to making cookies happy and that everything she does is for their own good. She ultimately doesn’t understand happiness because she cannot understand that different cookies are happy by different things.

Honestly, man, I think that they all just kind of hate each other. Or at least, they don't get along very well because their ideals clash with each other. Silent Salt obviously hates all of them including himself. In kingdom interactions, Burning Spice has threatened to destroy Eternal Sugar's garden- which she was clearly not happy about- and it's implied he wants to rip off her wings like he did to Golden Cheese. Mystic Flour has referred to Burning Spice as "the noisy one" and says that she "pities those who fail to understand the merit of becoming dust before crumbling by your hand" during their kingdom interaction, and in One of Darkness Absolute, she says she finds his hunger for destruction unappealing. Mystic Flour also seems to find Eternal Sugar's love for Hollyberry to be futile, and Eternal Sugar is distressed by the thought that Mystic Flour's philosophy implies that the happiness she strives for is meaningless as well.

Burning Spice has threatened to destroy the garden because his whole thing’s about knowing that things will wither sooner or later, so to save time and pain, destroy it now (which opposes Eternal Sugar who wants to keep her garden and herself pristine and “happy”). This goes with Mystic Flour, who doesn’t seem to mind the crumbling of cookies, but it does “frustrate” her how he doesn’t give the cookies the chance to understand how futile life is and choose to crumble

Eternal Sugar thinks the answer to everything is happiness within the garden, so Burning Spice wanting to destroy what she thinks is the solution is frustrating. And you’ve mentioned why Mystic Flour frustrates her as well

Mystic Flour, as previously stated, thinks all want and emotion is futile, so Eternal Sugar’s strive for happiness and Burning Spice’s lust for destruction are things she thinks have no need, so she verbalizes this to her friends as an attempt to “enlighten” them

Like...—'old childhood friends(or more like co-workers that didnt know what an actual friendship was like and assumed that this was it) who drifted apart as life got more busy and only meeting each other again YEARS later as surprise roommates but by then all of you have changed so drastically that rekindling old bonds felt near impossible(and also awkward because youve known each other for a majority of your immortal life yet at the same time you dont), but none of you really want to be alone again nor have the heart to truly leave each other(with the exception of Silent Salt) so it becomes this weird kind of codependent kinship that progressively gets more and more toxic as they all delve further into their respective unhealthy coping mechanisms'—type of complicated...
