Gushing-heavy zone. Slightly too passionate about Cookie Run.

Most people will be immediately inclined to see this and use it for sympathy points; oh no, he doesn't trust anyone! He's so lonely because he just thinks that if he allows anyone to get close, they'll just use him again! And while I do get it, I think there's another angle that speaks far less nicely of him. Personally, I think it's indicative of a core, rooted belief spurred by his time as the Fount of Knowledge. That people, by their nature, will always look to get something out of other people. That innately, no matter what, there's always some benefit or another being sought out from interaction. That it is merely nature to use others. So, he's sought out to be the one that always wins that exchange, to always be the one using the other party, and never the other way around. Take everything, and never give anything back in return; how's THAT for payback for the way they treated him all the way back then, huh?

Shadow Milk from a Magma session I was just in, by @mutedeclipse ! Posted with their blessing, of course. They were oh so very generous to provide a kind of Shadow Milk art that I can hardly ever find in any fandom tags, something that captures his manic, unstable and dangerous energy so very well. They aren't even a Cookie Run fan, by the way, they've just heard me talk about every single thing regarding him and decided to use him as rendering practice.

He thinks he's so fucking cute. he thinks he's soooo cute. he says this so fucking casually. "hhhmph! maybe my evil self had the right idea!" HE SAYS THIS SHIT AS A JOKE. HE THINKS HE'S SO CUTE. he's so fucking acutely aware of himself and how bad he could be and he's so casual about it. he thinks he's sooooo fucking cute. absolutely fucking obsessed with this guy

Cough. Bleugh. Sorry, something sets off in my brain the moment people take any stray line in the game and use it to go "GUYS GUYS GUYS HE'S SECRETLY SO SOFT AND HURT AND HE JUST NEEDS LOVE HE'S GOING TO GET REDEEMED". I thought the cycle would be over by now, now that we've seen him at his absolute worst; but clearly, some people just don't know how to let go.

Nothing makes me happier to hear!!!!! I'm honestly impressed that my sheer insistence upon talking so assertively and lengthily about these things has actually been inspirational, and that fact is genuinely very nice to hear considering I've been doing all I can to regain my confidence over time; this blog just gives me an outlet to pour it all out on something I know I'm most likely right about, all with my plentiful experience loving villains who have little to no redeeming qualities in them. I do hope to diversify my content whenever I have the mental capacity to, since as stated on a past post the only reason such a majority of my posts are about Shadow Milk is entirely on the fact that he's the one where the words come easiest to me. But even once I do have the capacity to talk about other characters, let it be known it will not reduce the output regarding him either. After all, the more time passes, the more he becomes a scarily solid contender for my #1 favorite villain of all time, a position which he is currently contesting with Evolt from Kamen Rider Build.
