#perfectionism

Ever notice how this blue freak is the only one not to act depressed? His dialogue pauses read as boredom or uncertainty. The same argument could be made for Burning Spice who briefly talks about his first kingdom wistfully, however he doesn't have multiple symbols of his virtue shedding tears. Leads me to believe Spice can weep, just rarely. All of them can.

Except this guy frantically hides it, like he'll die if even the slightest tear forms. His past self, Fount, shoves any negative emotions down entirely. These frustrated sprites are not shown to the cookie citizens. Internally, he's screaming.

Externally... Serene.

Perfectionist tendencies are quite literally drowning him. "Drama". Is that what you call the most shattering moment of your entire life?

His English VA in BY 8 sounded damn close to crying. Yet, shock is the imagery we view. That's it. Just bawl all your eyeballs out. For Christ's sake. I honestly believe he's scared. He's scared that once the depression is revealed, his entire persona will be shattered like what happened to Fount. He'll cry and he won't be able to stop. Like he isn't already broken to bits... Get it together, my cosmic horror! Eternal Sugar is better at showing her negative emotions than you, and she embodies "Happiness"!
