there is potential that the white lily echo and some version of croissant were able to see the decent of thier main selves as it happened, with lilys echo possibly forming as she was rebaked, and a nonzero chance that some version of croissant witnessed another croissant go from director to god. neither option is impossible

but then also, the idea of having such a large change, whether gradual or not, and being consumed by sorrow, rage, loneliness, boredom to the point of seeing those who were your friends as mere toys of a sort when before you might very well have gone to the ends of the earth for them,

Affogato is not just a ‘woe is me’ victim. He is using his lower starting place in life to justify hurting people who don’t deserve it. Your right, this isn’t the same as Pomegranate… it’s actually more akin to DE. Which isn’t much of a better look.

Pomegranate is not just a gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss. She is just as much a victim as any of the other Cookies of Darkness and to reduce her to just being a Simp takes away from the outright toxic devotion and obsession she has. Which I could write an essay on how it’s reminiscent of some toxic patterns I’ve noticed amongst fellow lesbians and how that goes into her reading as a lesbian character, but that’s for another post.

Does this make Pomegranate justified in her treatment of Choco? No. Does this mean you can’t sympathize with Affogato? Also no.
