Malky Wae Spiral

💫REMEMBER, MALK.💫

Ah yes drawing to remember dreams

I had a dream where in the dream express episode they redid some of it and now there was a sprite of that ram guy, but they had blue horns and it looked like their face was gas mask adjacent.

Sleeping gas? Thats a thing, yea? I can work with this. I will make a dream into an actual dream express employee.

I enjoy the sentiment of those "Your Yume would love you no matter what! Even through ur flaws and stuff" posts i often see but i live for the idea of milky way cookie just seeing the state of my room and immediately saying "Damn bitch you live like this?"

THAT would make my day

💫Doohickey Lad💫

I thought this was gonna be a dud because i thought compared to the last time i doodled them they haven't changed much.

I forgot im getting into drawing anthro more...

I like their design alot! I think its cute and sticks out. They're personality from what we see is something id really enjoy, i want more of them.

A funny thing ive noticed is all the attendants wear blue, which was definitely on purpose, but also all the attendants are darker, so the blue uniforms work great to break up the design instead of it all being a dark blob. I didnt use this brighter blue for my own reasons, i just inverted the gradient i use for the conductors so that the lighter half is more visible.

A thing seen in some doodles of mine before is a giant clock on their back. That still exists! Its just not on them. I wanna give each of the dream express workers a Instrument/weapon they use to use and trembling station attendants is just one huge noise maker. Its okay if they get a bit jumpy, sacrifices are willing to be made for the dream express!

Overall? intresting fellow, i like their english voice alot, good design fitting for their character and for the dream express. Slam dunk of an npc

Tank you for the request suggestion thing, s1nfulqu1ll!

Ask me to draw Cookies so i can research myths and folklore and stuff

Uhh requestssss you can gimmie space/dream/city of wizard cookie requests?

You can tell me who to draw and ill draw them in the context of my au. Maybe talk about them and what i think of them? Uhhh theres just so many and idk where to start and im better at stuff when someone tells me to do it.

I just wanna research species and myths rn honestly, and drawing designs for my au would be cool to do on the side.

Do these count as requests? Its more like suggestions. You can ask me to do it in any way, ask box, comments idc

:3

these next few crk updates are just gonna be me going

"Wow i cant wait until cresent moon arrives! Wow i wonder if new dream express content will exist! Evil milly way? Aurora? Please...?"

💤Milky Way Cookie💤

Choo Choo! Your replacement boss is here! Your new boss is here! Your ONLY boss is here! Your boss is here!!!

Okay time to get the au rolling its been too long of me talking vaguely about it. Milky Ways spiral, the name kinda gives away what happens i think.

how the hell do i start talking about this thing like genuinely???

GIRL STARTS TO FREAK OUT. GIRL CANNOT OPEN CROB. GIRL WILL MAKE VARIOUS FLAT AND EMPTY THREATS TO NO ONE IN HEAD. GIRL JUST WANTED IMAGE FOR HER BLOG POST.

This is cute and all but the fact you'd either have to buy ALL of the set or buy a blind box and pray to get it is pissing me off.

You're ALREADY a gacha game. Like chill the fuck out, no?

Rip Shadow milk fans and fans of bigger cookies, resellers are gonna have a field day.

💤Dumb headcanon💤

Id like to believe the Trembling station attendant is the only one who can remember and keep track of time in the dream express. None of the dreamers/voyagers know and the workers DEFINITELY dont know. Time is weird in the context of dreams afterall.

Many times, Aurora Candy has to ask them what time it is, then after they get a response they get mad because they realize milky way is off schedule again.

So uh... Trembling station attendant accidentally gets milky way cookie in trouble ALOT.

🍭Sweetie🍭

Semi old lineart i liked and decided to color out of boredom. Very messy :p

I got the plushie today! I was opening the bag infront of another person i live with and they said "OH GOD ITS THAT THING."

Anyway theres no more room on the top shelf anymore, I'll have to move to the second one!

Im gonna leave this here so i remember to draw it.

I just had a dream where a cheap clothing store near me had a limited time lolita fashion pop up and i wanted to get something from it so bad but i didnt have enough money, despite how big it was none of the dresses were in my specific style, and there was no A-line petticoats which is my preferred shape.

So the dream was just me freaking out in the store because it was about to close and there were no dressing rooms

Also there were 3 milky way plushies there which didnt help the NOT ENOUGH MONEY issue.

💫Daww💫

Milky way on her way to release merch right next to cookies that will sell out immediately (This has happened multiple times)

I wanna get this so bad but id need to get a phone case along side it whichh whyuhghhhh so much money to spendd...

💫Boops unlocked💫

idk if ill ever use these but i like how they look so im wavin them here. Total doodles, drew in a below 800 pixel canvas.

also noses. i wanna try drawing noses idk, these are easy ones cuz they got animal noses but ill have to practice for more human characters too.

contradictory Character design, milky way cookie, and how crtoa (kinda) screwed it up.

[this is long. sorry. also sorry for typnos and grammer and yadda yadda yadda]

Milky way cookie is a very interesting design because it baits you twice in a row. Ive seen some people complain about how her design is a bit lacking and not really what you'd imagine what this franchise would make a design after the concept of the entire damn milky way.

Id like to say thats the point, its supposed to be a bait and switch. Its funny. Moonlight Cookie being based on the moon is a legendary Cookie, powerful. You'd expect a design based on the milky way to be grand and big. Milky way is just kinda the opposite. Shes small and overall pretty plain design wise. She wears oversized clothes and refers to herself as special (and is even treated like such by Moonlight cookie herself), like shes supposed to be something bigger but she's just not.

With her design being a bait and switch on her concept and name, Its also a bait and switch from design to personality. She has these big glossy stary eyes that looks like shes about to cry and in her main crk sprite shes frowing, shes tiny, she has a cute voice, and shes marketable as hell. So by looking at her design you might assume shes just gonna be cute, maybe a little  crybaby? A bit flat on the character side of things because shes just kinda meant to be cute and easy to sell?

Nope! BAIT AND SWITCH. Shes pretty damn capable. She has personality outside of being cute, and shes pretty okay under pressure. Honestly some facts and lines from her feel like shes activily poking fun of the overly cute thing, making fun of the whole "just a cute mascot" idea and giving this design its purpose.

Most of the time a design is supposed to tell you something about the character, thats a big part of it, but i find that when a character design seems to PURPOSEFULLY break expectations is when its really fun, because at the end of the day the design is doing its job, its still telling you something you just gotta be ridiculous enough to get the correlation between design and personality.

Anyway, this could be me defending my oshi, using the idea of purposefully contradictory designs as a crutch. If you think that then your gonna hate the crtoa version of her where her design just seems so much more boring, and this crutch is taken away for this design to crawl

Shes far less capable here and funnily enough despite being the first canon game to straight up elude to the fact she isnt considered a child its the game shes the most childish! Wow! amazing work guys. Im sure people will be normal about this information.

her design feels SO much more basic with this interpretation of her, and i feel like it actively goes against what we've seen of her before. Ive seen her straight up talk about how dangerous Dr.Evilglaze is and then snark him, why is she crying out for help to no one at the sight of nightmares? She was "Waaa..."ing too much here. Shes not helpless. Even when it seems like she kinda is shes not open about it to the point of yelling for someone to help her.

Im kinda glad Aurora wasnt here, if Aurora pulled the stuff they did in kindgom with this specific Milky Way Cookie it would be seen as much worse and many more people would've probably hated them.

She wasnt like this throughout the whole story, she still had the slight edge she had in crk and crob (Never played crwc so idk how she was there) but it was so much more toned down. This milky way wouldn't have snarked Evilglaze and probably would have had a heart attack during the nightmare storm stuff from crob

I swear, the writers for her didnt look at the other stories with her in it. They only really looked at her design and took it at face value, thats what it felt like. And with a contradictory design thats the ONE thing it shouldn't feel like.
