No matter how she changes

And no matter how short my life is

I will love her forever

I want you all to know that what I’m implying is that Dark Enchantress has always been and always will be an incompetent leader who doesn’t know where the strengths of her followers lie and is far more focused on her pain and spite and the vile words she can spit at people than actually sitting down and coming up with a viable strategy. Dark Enchantress is one of the most intelligent people on Earthbread- it’s true. Your intelligence does not matter if you cannot utilize it. Dark Enchantress is throwing THE biggest temper tantrum anyone has ever seen and it’s evident when every time she, personally, pops up for more than just a couple lines, she is obsessed with her hatred for Pure Vanilla. She cannot let this man go. She goes so far as to pull him into her own dreams in the Crunchy Dreams event to continue to torment him with his ‘betrayal’ (I will get to analyzing that Crunchy Dream later do NOT worry) because she cannot be half assed to do anything actually important… or, perhaps, she has other intentions. Those don’t matter for this post.

She NEEDS someone as calculated and driven as Pomegranate to do all of the important work or her entire following will crumble away, with the exception of her son, who she has indoctrinated herself since her transformation. She NEEDS a powerful sorcerer like Licorice with enough of a broken spirit to be vulnerable to control, because everything she says is batshit, even when her objectives look good on paper. She NEEDS a child to indoctrinate because she’s familiar with indoctrinating children. She NEEDS people like Shwarzwalder who have constantly been excluded from society for the crime of not being born a cookie. She NEEDS someone like Affogato who is willing to spend years on his convoluted efforts to gain a chokehold on the political undercurrents of a kingdom for the simple want of comfort. She needs Red Velvet, someone who has two choices; serve, or die like the rest of them, stay and crumble away in the mouths of your creators, who chose to forsake you, who have already shown you exactly how willing they are to turn your life into their sustenance. Dark Enchantress takes vulnerable people, like she did Pure Vanilla, and she says all the right things to get them on board. If she were actually useful as a cult leader, she would be able to indoctrinate Dark Choco without the help of Pomegranate’s far-more-useful forced visions and her experience in being a High Priestess.
