you know there's actually plenty to talk about this update such as
-confirmation number one that pure vanilla was not a child in the academy
-confirmation that the academy was a research focused higher education institution (aka confirmation number two that those two were not children in the academy)
-confirmation that the blueberry...person (croissant cookie calls him "they" and i do think that it's because she does not know the guy or his pronouns but you never know shmilk is funny with gender) DID RESEARCH!!! IN THE ACADEMY. which you know. you know. proves that by the time he founded the academy he, the all knowing fount of knowledge, had already accepted that he does not know everything. WHICH IS HUGE ACTUALLY. if he was doing research... he was doing it to find out stuff... he made the active choice to look for ways to find out stuff on his own. which means that at that point he has to have fully acknowledged and internalized the fact that he is not the perfect entity who knows everything
-then they went pointing at him like "nudge nudge this is shadow milk cookie guys... we're going to the academy where you can find ALL KNOWEDGE (like you know the spire of all knowledge, maybe because the knowledge guy lived there). oh and wait!!! suddenly... there're droplets here. are they water? wait no!!! they're MILK hmmmm milk.... all knowledge... hmmmmmmmmm. oh and also this milk is ancient magic :) yeah maybe even older than the academy :))) hmmmm ancient enchanted milk coming from the place where the first headmaster used to do research HMMMMMMMM" atp. you can't deny it sorry
-on that same vein of thought CROISSANT COOKIE RECOGNIZED HIM IN THE EXPLORATION LOGBOOK COMMENTS??? HOLY SHIT??? she said like "someone white lily met in the academy... THEY LOOK FAMILIAR... Who Could They Be". like croissant cookie. who has only met that ultimate abomination. said the guy looked familiar. HMMMMMMMMMMM
-back to regular bullshit. white lily asked if he has found the creators??? hello??? all the shadow milk angst enjoyers where are you??? you got your guy canonically actively looking for them like this whole time??? his abandonment issues are more real than ever and nobody is talking about it???
-also white lily asked him if he found the creators (yes ik this is also the pervious point). which means you know. he has probably tried to do the same thing which led pure vanilla to this place. the implication could be that he too has tried to go to the first witches' place. and this is why in beast yeast 7 his illusions are so much alike to the ones on the witches' island.
-also. GINGERBRAVE IS LITERALLY POSESSED BY THE LIGHT OF FREEDOM??? and people say that was a whole bunch of nothing??? hello??? "this is a soul ailment. something is eating away at your soul. something that resonates with it" YEAH PROBABLY THE FUCKING EVIL MANIFESTATION OF A FUNDEMENTALLY BROKEN VIEW OF FREEDOM WHICH ONLY ALLOWED ITSELF TO BE HEARD BY HIM. MAYBE THAT'S WHAT'S BOTH RESONANTING AND EATING AWAY AT HIS SOUL. also. speaking from experience there pure vanilla??? YEAH THAT'S FUN
-also madeleine cookie said "so this is the fabled magic academy" haha. hehe. the creme republic knows about the academy hehe. the creme republic knows what a blueberry yogurt cookie is hihihihi
-now on to other plots. BLACK SAPPHIRE. BLACK SAPPHIRE RECOGNIZED THAT THAT IS NOT THE WILL OF THE REAL SHADOW MILK. that's amazing black sapphire cookie please keep going. like i had a feeling since last episode that he seemed skeptical of what that snake is making them do and this episode he straight up said it. i. am having a great time
-also. thermodynamics reference with how life energy works we love to see it. the writers read like the first thing about thermodynamics (entropy lmao) and now just throw all of it it into their worldbuilding
-also hollyberry :(((( and her creature of a dragon :((( i'm sad for them :(((
overall. yeah good setup. good continuation of where the blue jester and white lily's characters are. i like talking about less information about them over more episodes than just a whole lot in a really short time. that's nice.
scoop is a little pointless though but we let it slide because. it's a silly cookie game. they're fun
