about your last post, i've had this veeery interesting little quirk about gingerbrave ive wanted to talk about forever. iii might ramble a bit
In the cookie Odyssey, specifically Chapter 2, Day 3, Elder Mille-Feuille Cookie asks Gingerbrave to accompany her to Choco Mud Town. He agrees, and while he is following her, they encounter a Cookie asking for money.
Now, Gingerbrave very obviously sees the encounter between the background cookie and EMF. He sees a cookie in need of help, and he knows that EMF has the Coins to spare- they were going to the market, after all.
But Gingerbrave turns the other cheek. He chose to follow a trusted person instead of his desire to help.
EMF, to him, is trustworthy! She is a figure of power in the Creme Republic, she greets him kindly, she asks him for help- just about everything every other friend in his life did. Hell, half of the ancients didn't do that and they're still his friends!
And, what makes it clear to me that he didn't feel good about this choice, he stutters. Not once, before or after that interaction, did he hesitate to act. He was not nervous around her at all, did not suspect anything wrong with her.
He listened simply because she is a friend - and he trusts his friends more than anything.
...which leads to your post about Soli/ the Radiant Cookie taking white lily's form as a sympathetic jab. Gingerbrave is already willing to run back to the "really scary" witch if it means he's helping someone. He almost JOINED the Ultimate Cookie to help his friends, like, 2 seconds ago in lore!!!!
I think Soli knows and recognizes this in Gingerbrave's behavior as he, too, is a representation of solidarity as a whole. (Look at how many Cookies he rallied together for the cause, how his whole goal is to live, how he doesn't tell anyone about his feelings of insignificance/powerlessness)
and I think Soli is using it for their own reasons. I don't think they're,,,, evil, but they are likely self-serving and uncaring about the Cookies they were made to help.
YES YES YES! THEY ARE NOT EVIL BUT MORALLY DISCONNECTED FROM COOKIEKIND!!!!
Like they have a very set path in mind and Soli knows GB is very vulnerable in trust. I love love love this point. I actually am NOT very caught up in Odyssey because I've just...forgotten about it tbh! I have started chapter 2 but im only on day 1-2.
Could lead to SMC also taking advantage and using the voice of a friend (Strawberry, Wizard, PVC, Soli/Lily (since they share a voice)...
sigh someone help this boy
Also SUPER happy that someone else is calling the Radiant Cookie Soli! Ive been calling them that since BY15 because I didn't wanna type out Light of Solidarity or whatever...even now I've said that so much that I can't bring myself to call them anything else khehe
