GINGERBRAVE IS NOT ACTUALLY 17.

(This isn’t directed at people just making birthday fanart btw. Also if you didn’t know this already you’re fine, I’m just spreading awareness)

Usually the age misconception thing is just kind of an annoyance to me, but as the anniversaries near 18, I know that SOME PEOPLE are gonna use it as an excuse to be creeps about him. So, I’m gonna make a post clarifying it since some people can’t be bothered to remember basic information about this game’s main character.

A.) smc is written horribly out of character in most of them, and is treated like a sad little meow meow who’s done nothing wrong

B.) a good chunk of theses writers seem to have beef with random characters (for whatever slight they perceive against smc or gingerbrave/bravegang for existing) 

Now it’s no where as bad as other pairings, I’ve seen take over the fandom *shudders in klance and byler*

But yeah it’s not great, and is incredibly annoying when you try to find a story that’s about pure vanilla or shadow milk, that isn’t the pairing

It sucks because b-y (beast-yeast) episode 2 shadow milk cookie was so good, setting the plot as this menacing character we know nothing about that makes fools of everyone in the vicinity, just for him to become this obsessed crying baby out of nowhere (don’t worry I get shadow milk cookies writing fine but there’s a line of a fan favorite and the fan favorite

A fan favorite being a character that is praised by the fandom (example: derpy) but isn’t the one that takes over most of the plot because of fan popularity, sure there was the episode slice of life but she didn’t get all the episode, another example is mimiku even as a fan favorite and for good reason Pikachu is still the main Pokémon you see mostly and I think if someone doesn’t know Pokémon they atleast know Pikachu, even as little as the design they know it, it’s like miku with her iconic design

Now, The fan favorite is the character that gained too much popularity and now has taken over the plot, with many shows and games being planned ahead of time there arent many examples of this, I’m not saying shadow milk cookie took over the plot because of his popularity since “it was planned ahead of time” bullshit but the amount of merch, story relevance (even in dark enchantress cookies supposed 3 episodes I think he still has more screentime then her), and then him being squeezed into everything now (cue the 1 second instance shadow milk is in ovenbreak and the fans quickly jumped to him being the reason ob Dec sees the kingdom timeline) it’s become very suspicious, sure I can see the argument behind him becoming the main antagonist but when you shift too much at sidelining the main cast you made yourself it gets alittle suspicious, and what hurts me is that no other cr game does this, it sticks to its main characters, some might get replaced (rip skater cookie) or added (dozer for wc or olive cookie and adventurer cookie for kingdom) but that’s it, any more and it feels like your slowly getting rid of what made your game so great

what really sucks is that the main cast that were so accompanied with is heavily under developed, sure they have character development here and there but most of the time it just ties back to the ancients all over again, that’s why the scene of de holding gb, ulti and gb, bravery hill, and run gingerbrave run were by far the only good things about episode 15 and I didn’t see a single person complain about it that isn’t “oh gingerbrave got too much plot again” since they’re finally doing something with him, and what makes me really cry is that I just know they’re trying to make the ovengang on purpose boring just so then they can make it seem like the ancients are the main characters and that’s not okay, it’s bad! And you should be ashamed for totally ignoring the original main characters and don’t get me started on them slowly being rid of the cast and splitting the oven gang apart in episode 13-14, it’s all a mess and I hope they fix it going forward because like I said millions of times gingerbrave is the fool card and the fool card is involved one way or another in the deck

but that’s just a theory, A COOKIE RUN KINGDOM THEORY! Thanks for reading

Some early concepts for AJ! Gingerbrave, the concept was that he was spying on the beasts and DEC meeting, but ended up being discovered and later corrupted onto Bugbrave

I discarded it because it unintentionally created so many plot holes from what I am planning and overall didn't make sense. 😭🙏

And this time nobody is prepared, everyone expected ulti to take the reins, it would end up totally different

No context here, just HBAN!WL and AJ! Gingerbrave beatboxing

All the WIP and concept for My Cookie run OC...

What if White Lily was Gingerbrave’s mentor instead? After all, he did escape the witches…
