Remember when readyberry is not included as part of the future heroes collection?

Brightseeker is part of this collection, hence the gingerbright icon. (I’ll get back to her soon,) and gingerbrave has two icons oven wanderer and regular gingerbrave.

However, regular gingerbrave icon goes by the name "Courageous Old Cookie" and both characters are meant to be the same people beyond gingercraven? Well,

I think these two versions of gingerbrave are timeline versions of each other. With courageous old cookie most likely being the older version of ovenbreaker.

Ovenbreaker seems not entirely sure on what’s happening + giving out warnings , while courageous old cookie is aware and is actively giving advice + yearning for the past

(Notice the insane differences between them?)

Back to gingerbright. Another important thing we should take into consideration is how brightkeeper is still apart of the future heroes.

the reason why i believe brightskeeper is still counted as a hero is because she's also generally a wanderer too

of course, she's mainly a collector, however keep in mind that collectors tend to wander around to find things to add to their collection

she probably went on adventures with ovenbreaker + shortly leaving after, or it's just be she has similar character motives (wanderer) as ovenbreaker.

Anyways, Readyberry was most likely there during the event of ovenbreaker constantly sacrificing himself into the oven/ going through multiple oven doors

And to be completely honest strawberry cookie isnt the type to wander around (think we all know this)

she likes to stay in a small area in which she finds the most safest, or is actively surrounding herself around people she deeply trusts or feels safe around.

In conclusion to my theory:

readyberry purposely isn’t included as part of the heroes (despite having the urge to save her friends in her video game) mainly due to her self isolating herself but also this is the last thing she has relating to her friends.

what do you mean HE ALREADY TOLD EVERYONE ABOUT THE OVEN?? When did this even happen? Because not ONCE before has he EVER mentioned this, not to mention that the trio in general have apparently already told everyone that they escaped from the witch????

What could have been a really important, dramatic reveal was done off-handedly and offscreen. I WANTED TO SEE THEM HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WHAT THE FUCKKK

Not to mentioned that none of the characters are worried about this? Like everyone's treating it like "oh yeah haha that thing" and GingerBrave isn't even sensitive regarding the topic. Like I'm sorry, isn't the oven the cookie equivalent of HELL?! He should have PTSD! Not to mention that someone should have mentioned this in ep 15 when he got thrown in an oven AGAIN (and he definitely should have been freaking out more when that happened).
