Finished a sketch page of a minor OC. She's the mom of one of my other OCs, and she's also dead. It was originally going to be a page of the whole family but I got lazy and decided to make it about Amelie instead.

Her backstory is that she used to work as a "lady of the night" who constantly neglected her own health in favor of making more money to keep herself afloat, and then later on, to keep her daughter alive. At some point, she met a baron, and eventually married him. Unfortunately unknown to her husband, she wasn't really in love with him (although she did see him as a genuine friend). She only really married him so that her daughter would have a secure environment to grow up in (something that Amelie herself didn't have). She ended up dying of a fatal illness after her poor health started catching up with her, but she died content and without any regrets. She also wrote a letter to her daughter before she died, but that's a story for another day.

One of Amelie's main personality traits was that her favorite hobby was painting. She actually wanted to be an artist growing up, but was shamed against it. But one of her husband's gifts to her was an art studio, where she painted to her heart's content. She would also bring her supplies and her painting gown to family outings. She mostly drew landscapes and portraits of her family, but always kept them in the studio. After her death, some of the painting were hung up around her husband's manor (namely his room, their daughter's room, and a few small ones in the kitchen).

For your cookie art requests either cream soda cookie or snake fruit cookie

Thank you, have a nice timezone!

Couldn’t pick one I liked more so I chose both lol. The only reason it took me so long to upload this was because I was debating on whether or not to draw Snake Fruit’s “dragon” version as well.

!!! CRK Episode 9 + 10 Spoilers!!!

So I usually don't rant about characters from media I enjoy because one: it's not really my thing. And two: I'm a bit too dumb to make some epic interpretation of a character in the same way many others can do that.

But I really wanna talk about Eternal Sugar Cookie because, next to Mystic Flour Cookie, she's probably one of my favorite Beasts. And that's because she genuinely impressed me as a villain, whose character is actually so much more complex than what she shows on the surface.

Eternal Sugar Cookie poises herself as this divine being who can bring happiness to all with just the snap of her finger. Her garden is an actual utopia where pain and suffering don't exist. She's kind to everyone in her garden, and even grants their wishes sometimes. Her ultimate goal is the happiness of all Cookies. This why I don't believe her intentions were fully malicious (at least, not when she first created the garden). However, they did end up becoming entirely selfish.

To put it bluntly, Eternal Sugar Cookie is a cult leader. She believes that she's the only person who can truly make everyone happy. This resulted in her garden becoming a cultish environment where people were required to depend on her for happiness and safety. If they ever fell out of line, or tried to leave, she'd punish/sabotage them in subtle ways so that they'd come crawling back to her. And in Sugarfly Cookie's case, she coated her wings with syrup to prevent her from flying away. She's actually a pretty good manipulator all things considered.

Now, onto her relationship with Hollyberry Cookie: this is also one of the reasons I was just impressed by Chapters 9 and 10 in general. So far, all the other Beast cookies either felt hatred or indifference to their other halves, with their main goal being to take back their soul jams. But Eternal Sugar Cookie is different in the sense that she actually really likes Hollyberry Cookie to a scarily obsessive degree. She doesn't just want Hollyberry's soul jam (she might not even want it at all), she wants Hollyberry, and she'll do anything she can to keep her. She even has a full mental breakdown when Hollyberry straight up tells her she's leaving.

This is where her true colors start to show, and this is also where I'm going to be posting more screenshots because I feel like they're needed.

Yeah, she's really not happy about Hollyberry leaving.

But even after Eternal Sugar is defeated, she pleads for Hollyberry Cookie to stay with her.

It's here that we start to see her confidence crumble (no pun intended), as she's forced to face the fact that what she's been doing might be wrong. But she can't actually accept that, and so she needs and begs Hollyberry to stay with her to that she can reassure herself that she's doing the right thing.

Yeah, not much to say on this one. It's just another example of her being self-centered and kinda arrogant.

Here's another detail about her that I found interesting:

She is completely delusional.

That was already kinda obvious at first, but hoo boy, the ending of Chapter 10 didn't even try to suggest otherwise.

After Eternal Sugar Cookie tries to sabotage Hollyberry one last time (by trying to drown everyone in jam), Hollyberry protects her. And instead of Eternal Sugar taking that as Hollyberry just being caring, she instead believes that Hollyberry changed her mind about leaving her. But after Hollyberry rejects that for the last time, she doesn't get mad. In fact, she becomes even more obsessed with Hollyberry.

Eternal Sugar gushes about Hollyberry to Pavlova about how kind Hollyberry is and how her heart is too soft for the cold reality of the outside world (girl be fr). And decides to decorate her garden so that she can impress Hollyberry. Because obviously she's gonna come back to her /s.

This is also where I realized that Eternal Sugar Cookie doesn't actually think of Hollyberry as an actual person. She's just another person that Eternal Sugar can make happy, and that one day, she'll realize how much she needs her. The only real difference is that Eternal Sugar idolizes Hollyberry because she's her other half.

---------------------------------

I know that Eternal Sugar Cookie is supposed to represent the Light of Sloth. But she is clearly so much more than that. In the short and sillier way, she's like if an obsessive girlfriend started a cult. In the longer and more serious way, she's a manipulative, possessive, self-important person who believes that she can do no wrong. She obsesses over her other half and believes that one day, Hollyberry will come back to her and rely on her for true happiness. That also kinda ties into her self-importance and delusions. Also, her element being poison makes sense since she poisons minds lmao.

TLDR: I really like Eternal Sugar Cookie. S-tier villain in my book.
