Character: Strawberry Cookie

only need one

popcon 🍿

“No Wizard Cookie, that’s not true I just-“ Pure Vanilla began, his eyes filled with heartbreak.

“You reach out to him…because of compassion, after all he did!? After he nearly killed us!!” He yelled, gripping his staff tightly,” I guess we’re not important enough to you…”

Because I feel like that's absolutely where the line had to be drawn. You could maybe have made a case for Pure Vanilla sending Bravegang across Crispia (that was still wrong) but offering (who you think to be) the murderer of the children under your care, friendship was something that absolutely screwed Bravetrio over.

Strawberry canonically has nightmares about the Spire and being trapped in the cards.

I heard someone say that Pure Vanilla treats everyone around him with compassion... except Bravetrio. Because imagine if he did this to the Ancients?

And I would have loved a Bravetrio confrontation with Pure Vanilla because fundamentally, he's trying to do good, but he just fails when it comes to Bravetrio in particular and they would be completely justified in being upset. But I have a feeling the narrative or the fandom would portray Bravetrio as being in the wrong.

Pure Vanilla had three children under his care, and he failed to take care of them the second he offered the guy who from his perspective at the time, killed the three children he was taking care of, friendship. And Shadow Milk rejected it and still continues to do so.

Even worse is the fact that Bravetrio have been doing this their entire life, so they don't know they're being taken advantage of and they TRUST him with their lives, they'd follow him to the ends of Earthbread. He's a world-renouned hero who has done so much good for so many cookies. Pure Vanilla and to an extent all the adults present in Bravetrio's life failed them. Pure Vanilla was the adult and their caretaker in the situation, and he failed on both counts.

You know it's bad when Chili Pepper, wanted thief, was salty about Pure Vanilla taking Bravetrio to Beast Yeast.

Number one:she doesn't immediately go insane,this is mostly to do with the information that the witches eat cookies,now strawberry has witness a witch eat a cookie but she stays good unlike white lily who fumbled so badly that she fell into the batch and became dark enchantress cookie who started two whole world wars which caused the death of many cookies

Number two:she's strong,now this one isn't probably noticeable at first until you take into account,her weapon which is a big lollipop and the way she swings that must indicate that it's heavy so she has to have some muscle on her

Number three:she needs more lore,I know we already have some lore on her if you count the other games but I want more,I want to know how she ended up liking video games,I want to know how she even got that hoodie,like was she baked with it,did she find it somewhere,who knows

Number four:she needs more attention,this one is pretty reasonable and everyone will probably agree with this considering that we have had no filler updates since like what,after the kpop demon hunters collab which is why I believe that we should get a filler update that centers around strawberry

Imagine if White Lily told her friends cookies were made to be eaten and no one really cared (cough cough Dark Enchantress in the Prologue).

Jokes aside, I would love to have even a Bravetrio centric update because they are major players in the story as a whole.

Also, because I feel the narrative hasn't been doing the three of them justice lately (except for Gingerbrave but even that's debatable, Strawberry is the most shafted of the three imho, and Wizard also has it pretty bad).

I find the difference between the two 'I saw a Witch eat a cookie' scenarios so fascinating.

White Lily spent her entire life looking for answers, from her Academy days until the Witches' Banquet, she chose to seek out the truth of the creation of cookiekind.

But the second White Lily fell into that cauldron, her fate was sealed.

Strawberry just... woke up. She was simply born. There's no fanfare, no work on her end, and absolutely no choice. It just happened.

But she went along with her life.

A lot of Strawberry lore is scattered throughout the game, the most recent bits being from the affection system and a lot being smaller moments especially since her character is often reliant on the cookies she cares about.

With the whole Strawberry seeing a Witch eat a cookie thing kind of being brushed off I imagine they're not going to do much with it but again, we're not done.

A horrible accident at the witch's house.

And that left Strawberry with a horrible gash across her throat and half her mouth.

It makes it hard for her to speak and forces her to stay quiet; otherwise, a horrible pain sets in.

NO MY BABY. NOOO. Count your days, blessings, and everything in between, I love this.

HOW COULD YOU NOOOOOOO

I love the angst
