smpv dancing in the rain pleaaseee,,, 🥹

It hurts my soul to admit that what happened to the Vanilla Kingdom is partly Pure Vanilla's fault (not entirely but he could've done better), but it also caused me to realize something else. This just gives his relationship with Strawberry Crepe even more potential that was ultimately wasted in the end. Pure Vanilla trying to make up for his mistakes by befriending Strawberry Crepe, the child who's been wandering the ruins of the Vanilla Kingdom all alone for who knows how long due to the war, and being the adult figure they need would've been so awesome and a wonderful direction for his character arc regarding this. I wish Devsis had given them the same "I want to be your friend because I see how lonely and traumatized you are" arc with them like they did with Shadow Milk. Obviously for different reasons than Shadow Milk's case, but Strawberry Crepe is ALSO misguided and coping with their loneliness and trauma in unhealthy ways. Pure Vanilla could've set them on the right path. And like Shadow Milk's case, Pure Vanilla is probably the one who would understand them the most- or at least what they're going through, because they are the only 2 current citizens of the Vanilla Kingdom that were here before the Dark Flour War. They had both woken up after the attack to find the Vanilla Kingdom abandoned and in ruins. Pure Vanilla helping the Vanillian who just might be one who was most affected by the war would've been good for both of their character arcs. But apparently Shadow Milk is the only character who should have a friend who understands him and Devsis hates the Vanilla Kingdom
