#soup lore

tadc situation is pretty messed up tho , obviously what those ppl behind the scenes including the creator themselves did and said was not okay at all, it definitely leaves a poor taste in my mouth considering I was gonna come up with a project where one of my characters would be singing the ep 8 song

hopefully ppl will understand that if I go through with that they won’t think im endorsing anything problematic and enjoy the song and the show’s themes without that sort of attachment to it as I’d hate to be accused of being racist but at the same time I’d hate to ignore how Black ppl feel about it bc what they feel is completely valid

anyways here’s the video in question if ur curious

and side note: obviously if the first letters of the word negative sound like a slur you OBVIOUSLY wouldn’t keep joking about it and justifying it even after SEVERAL YEARS right?????? good god the utter audacity to be foolish and ignore Black people’s voices and have problematic history my GOD it’s basic DECENCY but anyways . Sigh . I’m tired . I’m so tired

while we’re at it I would strongly advise not making fun of fans of problematic media in general or being like “I knew something was up” or “finally something that justifies my unreasonable hatred for this thing” like that just doesn’t help 😭 can we be sensible here guys, as long as we don’t endorse it I mean y’know

Update: i feel like i don’t have any right whether to say we should separate art from artist in this situation (you guys can be the judge of that) but one thing’s for certain, i’m gonna do my best to engage with tadc related stuff less and less and like i said before if that musical animatic thing featuring the 2 tadc songs i have in it planned actually does come out im putting a huge disclaimer at the beginning . otherwise im most likely gonna shelve it . it was a pretty ambitious project featuring my ocs that I put a lot of pressure on myself to make anyway and it would relieve some of the burdens . but if you have any concerns with what I’m saying in this post or want to offer critique or advice please let me know and do it in replies/reblogs and do so respectfully thank you

i know ppl are gonna go “but it was this many years ago” or “they apologized” or something and man idk im just tired, im still allowed to be uncomfortable let me be please 😭🙏

also 2 other videos that I’ve seen related to it which i thought were interesting

For this entry to the Mermay catalogue, I drew my awesome friend @loginwalltoldmetomakeacc 's OCs as mermaids!!! From top to bottom:

Tomo 🍅 - Anglerfish (b/c they're very spooky and they honestly give me deep sea creature vibes)

Collie 🌱- Manatee (b/c he's chill as hell and manatees are herbivores so I thought it was fitting for the nature lover)

Cere 🎀- Octopus (tbh im not exactly sure why, it just seemed really fitting for her)

Plz go check out @loginwalltoldmetomakeacc they're super awesome and talented and cool and they make a lot of really cool stuff and you should go support them!!!

it serves with one spoon and eats with the other.

suddenly, i understood. up to that point i had been solely focused on what the Broth had taken from me. i had not thought at all about what it might have given in return.

but before i could reflect upon this further, the Soup Lord said, "why have you come to this dry and Soupless land? for is it not true that you love Soup and do desire Soup above all things?"

and i said, "o Lord, i do love Soup and do desire Soup above all things. it was not of my own free will that i came to this dismal place. the Broth did send me here."

and the Lord said, "the Broth did nothing, for the Broth only exists, and does not act. it was you who chose to climb into the Holy Stockpot, you who chose this pain."

and i was humbled, for i knew the Lord was right. i had climbed into the Pot. i had let the Broth dissolve me.

and the Lord said, "Child of Soup, why did you choose this pain?"

and i thought about this, and said, "o Lord, i choose this pain because it is the price of Enlightenment."

and the Lord said, "you speak of prices, yet you do not understand cost. tell me, Child of Soup: what is the difference between an experience and what may be derived from it? between this Sacred Pain and the Enlightenment that follows?"

and i thought about this, too, and said: "time, o Lord?"

and the Lord said, "perhaps, but answer not with vagueness. what is time?"

and kneeling there upon the hot sand, i did reflect upon the Lord's Word. what was time? my first thought was that it was a kind of a soup. but... i didn't really believe that. that was just a remnant of the old me, the naïve optimist who went around saying that everything was soup, just because he could not stand the idea of something not being soup. it was delusional thinking. deep denial. fear of pain.

but all of that had been boiled away. leaving only my non-self and the vast, dry emptiness around me that was not soup, could not possibly be soup.

old art 2023 (?) redraw of my boy Licorice Cookie the character of all time…….

he feels something he doesn’t think he’s ever felt before!

licorice and cauliflower soup my beloved

CONTEXT!

yes it has come to a point where two ocs in this comic that i shipped with cookie run characters have been getting their own lore lately stay with me here

and you’ll notice that @ erasercapproductions on the top right is me lol i have different urls…..

anyways

spoiler alert: no fires were eaten in the making of this comic

this little comic is a silly introduction to the “soup lore” which focuses on situational events surrounding the cancellation of a kids’ show that everybody forgot a long time ago, but why? was it better that it was forgotten?

I’ve had this concept rotating in my head since August 2025 and want to do more with it but im not sure if I should make a separate blog for it, leave it on this blog, or move it to the @erasercapproductions blog…… but for now I’ll post stuff about it here until I figure it out or unless you guys have any suggestions idk lol

the characters featured in the comic:

Left: Collie (Cauliflower Soup, originally shipped with Licorice Cookie) (he/they)

Middle: Cere (Cereal Soup, originally shipped with Eternal Sugar Cookie) (this is their first debut so any previous content of them is kept to myself because I’m still trying to figure out this character) (any pronouns)

Right: Tomo (Tomato Soup, originally shipped with Twizzly Gummy Cookie) (she/they)

The cast of a children's show (The Soup Kitchen Show) and the network executive argue over a potential cancellation of the show due to "creative differences" as well as "questionable role models"— things go south quickly.

(originally for a school project, slightly modified)

btw Hiii idk if people usually engage more with YouTube links or videos embedded on Tumblr more ? I’m still new to posting OCs and such on the site even if I’ve been here for a few years, I don’t exactly know how the “algorithm” works if there even is one or not but yea lol
