#witch cookie

I was scrolling through CRK stuff the other day and saw some posts about Devsis potentially bringing Gingerbrave and his friends back into story/gameplay relevence by Having Things Happen to Gingerbrave and I had a VISION that slammed into me. And I just HAD to draw something to share it with.

Most people were theorizing some kind of "ultimate cookie" thing happening to Gingerbrave (and a boatload of new trauma for our titular hero), but I had a different idea.

Dark Enchantress Cookie/White Lily Cookie seem to have an insight about Gingerbrave and his friends that no one else knows about. Like, there are some lines from them that seem to hint about them being aware that Gingerbrave had been Witch Baked instead being born by whatever method cookies use to procreate. And both (to me at least) seem to feel a certain level of kinship with him because of that.

What if, because of that unspoken/indirect admission results in DEC's magic/ritual doing something a little- weird? She seems like she's almost trying to... Make a witch? Make herself a witch? But her ritual takes a step to the left and, while looking like it did what she'd intended to herself, there's someone else who was Witch Baked relatively recently that gets tangled in a thread of the magic as well.

Which brought me to this. Behold!

Witch Cookie Gingerbrave

He is not on board with it but there's no turning back.

As you can imagine, if it's not revealed right away, there would be "kid trying to hide new powers from everyone" shenanigans. And failing badly at hiding it.

I suppose this could also be an au where Gingerbrave was always a witch cookie and had been hiding it bc he was scared of how everyone else would take it (and his own traumas).

However, I like the idea of this little brawler suddenly having magic but not having a clue how to use it. It would be fun.

I threw some maple leaves into the design to keep it from turning christmas from the candycane patterns without color. And I gave him the Brave Sweater you can pull from the MyCookie gatcha to add a little more to his design past the cape/hat appearing.

Dark Enchantress sees this Witch Cookie's powers and immediately takes interest in them.

They were made by an actual witch to take care of the hut long after they're gone (and continue their infamous hobby, hence giving them powers to bake cookies).

However even with their dark magic, they turned over a new leaf and decided not to pursue evil.

Instead they just bake baby cookies for parents and extra pets for lonesome cookies, turning the hut into an adoption center that's quite popular in their kingdom.

Dark Enchantress has visited them before, in disguise, and can only wonder 'Why don't they use their powers for chaos? They can make an army powerful enough to eradicate all witches!'

Tbh she'd rather have them as her right-hand cookie than Licorice. They can make as many cookies as they want with the power of a Witch!

But even when she kidnaps Witch Cookie and tries convincing them to join her side, they politely decline. They reluctantly make some pets/minions just to get her off their back.

Surprisingly she lets them go but vows to change their mind one day.
