#But I'm really super excited for Pitaya!

[kunikidas-lost-glasses]

I'm so excited for Pitaya Dragon coming to kingdom! I was waiting for them to come to crk as a playable character for so long but I'm also not ready to part from the Triple Cone Cup update yet.

It was my absolute favorite update of all the updates...

[burningcheese-merchant]

Ok here are my actual thoughts on the update. Actual, genuine spoilers ahead

Best part about CRK updates is most of them drop right after I'm done with everything for the day and have total free time lol

Getting this out of the way: unfortunately, there is no gay shit between Fire Spirit and Pitaya Dragon. The best we get is this

You can interpret this as "Pitaya Dragon is still inside of me", which is pretty gay when you think about it. I suppose that counts for something

Anyway,

Starchy the Moletato is now one of my favorite NPCs. He's adorable. His interactions with Fire Spirit are adorable. He has an Irish accent in the English dub, which is adorable. His design is adorable. I want to put him in my pocket and feed him potato chips.

This is so fucking funny dude. They're so fucking funny. They should be in a buddy cop movie together

Fire Spirit's personality is ON POINT. Loud, obnoxious, witty, irreverent. Fun-loving. Tough and proud and full of life. A huge jerk most of the time, but when push comes to shove, he comes through for people. An asshole with a heart of gold. MY asshole with a heart of gold 🔥❤️

Mixed feelings about Agar Agar. In the sense that, she's clearly extremely dangerous and needs to be stopped, but... I also feel bad for her. I'm not sure she understands the gravity of what she's doing. Her backstory states that she was alone and starving at the bottom of a sealed well for a long time, before being found by Pomegranate. This is... the 4th? child to be taken advantage of by Dark Enchantress and the CoD. Agar Agar feels like she has purpose, that someone cares for her, and that she can finally do something about her insatiable hunger (which is clearly causing her a lot of pain and distress). It's pretty sad. But idk what should really be done with/about her. She NEEDS to be put away; her appetite depends on living beings, and she can and will destroy everything around her and hurt/kill others, not to mention her stealing powers with her mirror. But... idk. Poor girl. She knows not what she does

All that aside, Agar Agar is super cool. Her design is fantastic, as is her voice. Those plus the mirror come together to really sell the creep factor. She reminds me of an onryō or some other sort of yokai (I say yokai specifically bc she gives that particular vibe to me). Hype as fuck

Fuck Pomegranate, all my homies hate Pomegranate

Didn't know there were mines in the Dragon's Valley. Who built them? Who uses them? Just the moletatoes? Do the valley tribes ever go to them? Does Pitaya Dragon know about them? Approve of them and the fact that they exist to siphon valley resources? I need answers, man

Story felt... a little rushed? It was fine for what it was, but idk. I thought Fire Spirit would have to work harder to win. I knew right from the jump that the key was to break the mirror. I guess I just thought it would take more to do so

God... God........... His costume.......... His look.......

God he looks so good... So handsome... So sleek... So FIRE 🔥🔥🔥 and the transformation sequence... Ugh. Chef's kiss. I gotta make it my banner somehow

I just really, really love Fire Spirit's sprites. ESPECIALLY the excited looking one where you see pupils:

I never knew such a small touch would make such a big difference. He looks so damn good with those. It gives him so much more life (and he already has a lot!). 100/10

Windy!!!!

"I expected a much warmer welcome." Wasn't expecting the bestie to try to shoot him on sight, poor guy 😔 it happens. Accidents happen. We forgive and forget for the sake of our homies

Funny, in-character, for Fire Spirit to try to weasel out of responsibility. Doubly so with Wind Archer (I always liked imagining that aspect of their friendship/duo. Wind being the overly serious one and Fire being like "lol you're such a downer 🤪 why so serious? Who cares, we can worry about shit later, let's have fun"). Buuuuuut ever so slightly frustrating, too. I would've liked a thought bubble where he acknowledges the seriousness of the situation, but still chooses to go "fuck man. I just need a minute. Just one.". Something a little stronger than the nonchalance he kept showing to Wind. Something to contrast that, to show that he's really forcing himself to pretend to be calm and composed, when in reality he's disturbed and worried as fuck

Fire Spirit joining the war 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥 I knew he would, but it's still cool to hear him say it lol. I need him to show up at a council meeting, just strutting in like a peacock, acting like he owns the place, and half of the crowd is excited he's there while the rest are annoyed by his attitude lol

I'll be honest. I was hoping Fire Spirit would have a role to play against Eternal Sugar. Idk why, but... I wanted him there. Maybe just because of Pitaya (who was also enlisted in the war against Dark Enchantress, and will probably be joining Hollyberry in Beast-Yeast). Like... he knows Pitaya is probably going to need help due to their waning power, and he wants to help (disguising it as "hey bozo, if you die then I die too"). A bit like how Wind Archer had a mini face-off with Shadow Milk, you know? Does that make sense? Maybe I'm just a whiner

One extra PitayaFire thought, because I am desperate lol. The part I displayed above, where he says that he hasn't felt this fired up since Pitaya Dragon saved him... The way he smiles at the memory, and knowing that that power still lies within him, ready whenever he is... It's like Pitaya saved him again. Like he was there, waiting for the moment Fire Spirit needed him most. Just like before. And Fire Spirit acknowledges that he was happy then, and is happy now (he does this in Ovenbreak, too). Excited, even. All because of Pitaya, in the end... (I need ship fuel so bad, moletatoes. I need y'all to wake up to this ship and start making fanart. Please I'm so alone. Please. Please they make sense together I promise-)

[hugemilkshake]

Can I please Request a Pitaya, Ananas, Longan Cookie(Separate) x Reader(GN)

Reader just being the most sweetest common(rarity) ordinary Cookie who is actually a nerd about Dragons and always dreamed of meeting one and didn't even realized they made the Dragons fall in love with them making Y/N just go and be like "Wait- How- why-? I'm just a common Cookie though- like what???"

Enjoy your milkshake! Man the dragons are so silly. But I do think ananas will be the one to get released next, like dudes the next legendary. I have no proof of this but I have a hunch.

I’m also adding lotus and lychee bc I think they’re neet

Dragon Admirers

-Romantic scenarios-

Pitaya Dragon

You were a fairly simple cookie.

You just wanted to see or even meet a dragon

And what better place to meet a dragon than the Dragons Valley?

And it just so happens that there’s a quaint little village called Dragon City there.

A slight downfall is that they hunt dragons but, that’s no big deal!

Well one thing you didn’t know about dragons was that few could actually disguise themselves as a cookie

Now what dragon is the most famous around Dragon City?

The Red Dragon

….and that egg they got. No one knows why. But they let it happen, I mean, whose going to fight a dragon over a baby??

So the chances of meeting a dragon doubled!

One day a cookie was sporting around town showing off his “dragon.”

Well, for someone like you who studied dragons you knew damn well that was a Wyvern.

So why not correct this cookie?

Well as you were correcting this self proclaimed “dragon” rider, a certain white haired cookie watched on.

This cookie called themselves Pitaya Cookie, but in reality, they were The Red Dragon.

Honestly, they were kinda impressed and freaked out by your vast knowledge on dragons, now you didn’t know everything but you knew enough to distinguish a wyvern from a dragon

Not many cookies know how to do that these days

It was kinda charming…

Now, The Red Dragon was a bit prideful, not as prideful as other dragons

So why not go and talk to you to test your knowledge about dragons?

Unexpectedly, you knew more than they thought you did.

It was actually super charming to see someone who actually knew what they were talking about when it came to dragons!

Now you didn’t know everything but they’ll humor you.

Now unbeknownst to the dragon, they would subconsciously start spending more time with you and getting quite fond of you..

One faithful night, when everyone was fast asleep and when The Red Dragon was back to their cave, they found themselves actually excited to see you again!-

Oh

Oh no

Did The Great and Almighty Red Dragon fall in love…?

Oh gosh…

This is not something that The Red Dragon should be feeling this away towards an average cookie!

But it’s not a bad feeling… but it’s still embarrassing

Snap Dragon doesn’t understand what Pitaya is so hung up about but they want to know!

It’s only a matter of time until Snap Dragon sneaks out to see what Pitaya is up to.

Ananas Dragon

Ah yes the Tropical Soda Islands! An absolutely beautiful place to be!

But you know what’s even better?

Dragons!

And there is one who resides on the island! At least that’s what you have heard.

The Golden Dragon hasn’t really been seen all to much, but there’s proof the dragon exists!

Like a while ago, when the dragon appeared, people left fruit offerings to the dragon!

Hmm…

Maybe you should try and leave an offering!

That would be fun!

Well you went and and bought some fruit from one of the local venders and traveled out To some part of the island by the island’s tallest peak.

But as you were laying down the fruit, you heard some squeaking noises coming from a bush

You went to see what it was and you saw a small lemur trapped in a rope trap

You felt bad so you helped it out and gave it some fruit from your offering pile and went about your day

But instead of the lemur going back up in the trees or bushes, it went towards a cave with a golden glow to it

There on a golden throne sat The Golden Dragon or Ananas Dragon for short.

When Pineapple Lemur came back happy and with fruit, This didn’t surprise the dragon at first until they noticed that the fruit was not from anywhere by the mountain

Where did Pineapple Lemur get that fruit????

Well later that night Pineapple Lemur led Ananas Dragon down to were you left the fruit and the rope trap.

Ananas figured out what happened after a quick game of Pictionary

So Ananas Dragon took the fruit and decided to leave a golden scale in its place

And out of curiosity Ananas Dragon stayed there to see if you’d return

They weren’t expecting you to return but you did! Now Ananas Dragon was hiding because they don’t know who you are. You could be some deranged lunatic for all they know!

But when you saw the golden scale on the ground, it’s like the heavens have bestowed a legendary gift upon you!

And it might be the closest to meeting a dragon you’ll get to

At least that’s what you thought.

Over the course of a week or so, you’d leave fruit by the mountain and Ananas Dragon would leave something in return

Now did you know that the dragon was there? Nope.

But The Golden Dragon grew quite fond of you

So fond in fact they started to leave more expensive stuff to you

It was an act of affection

Maybe one day Ananas Dragon will come out and great you..

Lotus Dragon

You decided to go to the annual wish festival that took place every year.

But unfortunately you chickened out and decided to stay some what close but not too close to the action.

You’ll probably go and join in on the festivities but not stay for the actual event

I mean, you’re a big fan of dragons but when it comes to meeting a dragon as powerful as The Blue Dragon, you kinda get a bit nervous.

I mean they could kill you in the flick of their wrist probably so how could you not be nervous??

So you sent your wish out and ran. It was probably not the strongest or most interesting wish

But your wish to meet a dragon was really strong.

Strong enough for a certain wish granting dragon to notice.

Lotus Dragon wanted to brush it off but couldn’t.

The strong desire to meet a dragon was kinda overwhelming

Why though?

That was the most interesting part.

You wanted to meet a dragon because you find them cool.

So cool that you studied them… for fun?

Studying dragons is a very odd concept to Lotus Dragon.

You could have studied anything else, but you chose dragons?

Lotus Dragon is a little judgmental, but the more they look at your wish, the more interested they get

They can truly see how passionate you are for dragons and how much you actually want to see one prominent

It’s a little cute.

Lotus Dragon looks at you wish in a fond way now

There’s some affection for you growing in them but they push it down, it’s not time to give a common cookie this affection

But maybe making your wish come true will get Lotus Dragon closer to you

Lychee Dragon

While trying to get to the Tropical Soda Islands you found yourself in the Rambutan Village.

I mean, there aren’t any dragons but you can sure tell others about them!

And your knowledge was actually liked by a lot of cookies

Especially that kid Mangosteen Cookie

They loved hearing about your stories and knowledge about dragons

Something weird was that monsters stoped appearing as often…

Weird…

At least for anyone who’s not Mangosteen Cookie.

Mangosteen Cookie knew why monsters weren’t appearing

It’s because they had been a little distracted with you and your knowledge on dragons

It gave them a weird sense of pride when you showed how much you knew about dragons

Mangosteen Cookie wouldn’t say it or show it, but they were actually a dragon!

Lychee Dragon or The Violet Dragon to be exact

Lychee just enjoyed hearing you talk about dragons for hours on end

Your voice was actually kinda calming

But you were always with Lychee or well Mangosteen, no matter the day

But sometimes, Lychee wished they could show their true self to you without causing a panic among everyone

Now Lychee realized that they had fallen in love with you, they know that

But would Lychee try and get you to fall in love with them or would they just hypnotize you?

Longan Dragon

An average day.

That’s all your life was.

Average.

You taught some younger cookies about dragons and told them stories but other than that nothing really happened

But there was one thing that was weird…

Golden eye orb things could be spotted around places you went to on a daily basis.

Kinda like they were watching you.

Freaky.

But beyond those eyes laid The Ivory Dragon

The dragon watched you with curiosity on a very regular basis

Longan Dragon found you interesting…

A weak, insignificant cookie who knew a lot about dragons.

Interesting..

But while watching you The Ivory Dragon saw two cookies holding hands and being affectionate towards one another

Longan Dragon wanted to do that with you…

But… what was the feeling they felt..?

Was it love..? Or was it pity..?
