#do you want timekeeper to be a super epic

[brittle-doughie]

Going to outright admit it, this is my first time doing a request, but here goes:

This request is based on an April fools event in a game called Nikke: Goddess of Victory.

https://youtu.be/l1pWg-ujU-o?si=GKV12WISdeGSsluR

The above link may seem 18+, it’s not lol, it’s April fools and thus it’s simply chaos happening due to a harem of jealous women. (Although yanderes DO butter my toast very nicely.)

Basically my request goes:

Y/n pranking legendaries by sending letters to said legendary figures. Beasts, ancients, dragons, you can add whoever you want, just pls add Elder Farrie I am STARVING for content of this faerie fella, Y/N is terrified by the sheer amount of powerful cookies busting through their door, ceiling, etc etc, but also goes “welp, I’ve come this far, if I die, I’ll die with a bang” and pranks the godlike cookies because ✨CHAOS✨

Apologies if I seem too formal, too vague or just plain weird by the layout or wording of this request, it’s my first time and due to a change of events in my life, I’m currently very giddy and wish for chaotic joy by sending a request to my favorite reader x cookie run writer, thank you brittle!

I saw you mentioned two characters specifically, so I’ll focus on them.

Elder Faerie would’ve shook his head at your attempt of a prank. You know how risky it is to send a message like that to the entire Legend Chat, cookies with not so pure intentions could’ve gotten to you first and had done unspeakable things.

You were lucky he was quick to prepare his attire and weapon as well as making it here on time. If you had simply wanted some time with someone, you should’ve just brought the matter to him only and he would’ve came over.

Why he was in the Legend Chat when he’s a Super Epic was beyond you.

Xylitol Nova Cookie would show similar concerns when it came to just messaging something that outrageous in the board. Having to be alone with cookies Like Timekeeper or even one of the dragons would’ve been bad, you’d have to be decontaminated from head to toe!

It just so happens that he had been working on a security system that will ensure that nothing short of a Beast will be able to break through the made defenses. Of course, he’d have the clearance to enter the room unopposed if you ever messaged seriously about being lonely again.

Costume gacha is mean to me and hasn’t given me either croissant or timekeeper so here’s a short thing I wrote before school to make me feel better

(originally written with she/her pronouns for the reader but I think I’ve changed it all to they/them)

In Gacha Hell (ft. Croissant and Timekeeper)

Timekeeper hated seeing you sad. She had been delighted when you dedicated all your rainbow cubes to herself and the director- infuriated when the light in your eyes died more every 5 pull without either. She and Croissant were stuck in gacha hell, and she was not happy. She tried to force herself out many times, usually with Croissant following. Of course, she never succeeded and her temper grew shorter by the second. As she saw it, it was like whatever god existed didn’t want her to be with you. She frowned as she was lost in thought while in gacha hell, with Croissant sighing. “…Timekeeper, do you think we’re not gonna be able to get ou-”

“We will. At least one of us will get pulled, then they’ll get the other with their crystals.” Timekeeper growled, as if it was almost a fact. She hoped it was a fact. “They’ve done about 30 pulls by now! And only got a single super epic, and it wasn’t even me!” Croissant shouted in frustration, then shoved her head into her hands. “It’s getting more hopeless by the day.” She muttered, a distant look in her eyes. “If I have to force us both out of here, I will.” Timekeeper hissed. “Couldn’t that risk getting their account banned?” Croissant asked. “…No. No, it won’t. I’ll be sure of that.” Above all things, she would not take your comforts away only so she could be with you. That would be cruel of her.

They both felt a slight jolt throughout gacha hell, and quickly both came to attention. “They’re pulling.” Croissant quickly said, and Timekeeper began running, with her quickly following along. Hopefully, they wouldn’t have to wait much longer.

Although Loki has been a fixture of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2011’s Thor, the character has never had his own musical identity. That all changed with Loki - the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest Disney+ series - and the music of Natalie Holt. The innovative, versatile score is a perfect match for the God of Mischief’s sensibilities and is easily among the best sonic works we’ve heard in the genre.

As such, we were excited to sit down with Holt to discuss the inspiration behind the score’s instrumentation, sticking up for her music in late-night dub sessions, and being part of the MCU.

I want to start right at the beginning. What was your reaction when you booked the Loki meeting?

I just knew that it was the biggest opportunity I'd ever had, and I really prepped hard. I went into the meeting with my ideas really fleshed out, and quite a lot of my responses to the script seemed to by some lucky coincidence fit with the directors. That was cool. I then got to do the pitch after the meeting, so I had to score the time theater scene in episode one, and I totally went to town on that as well. I really wanted this job so much because I felt that Loki was a great character and I was a big fan.

You and director Kate Herron were immediately on the same page in regards to using a Theremin for Loki. What was it about that instrument that appealed to you for this project?

A friend of mine had sent me ‘The Swan’ by Clara Rockmore ages ago, and I just loved the sound of it. I had also been listening to lots of BBC Radiophonic workshops, and I'd seen this documentary about Delia Derbyshire as well so I had all these 1950’s, analogue-y synth sounds buzzing around in my head. Tom Hiddleston has a Shakespeare-like quality to his performance, so I thought this needs to have some kind of classical, weighty grandness. So it was a fusion of those two things.

You weren’t on set for Loki, and I know that is something you like to do. In the absence of that, what sparked your creativity the most?

It was engaging with the character in a really deep way. The storyline really got under my skin and inspired me. I had the Loki theme in the pitch, so that’s been there from day one. And as for the riffs in the theme, I feel like Loki is the Salieri to Thor’s Mozart, so I was listening to lots of that. There's a bit of ‘Ride of the Valkyries’ by Wagner in Loki’s theme as well. That was all in the pitch. Then I had a month to write the suite. That was the Mobius theme, the Sylvie theme, and the Variant theme.

For all the hi-tech stuff we see in Loki, the TVA is also very analogue in some respects and you’ve clearly taken that into account with the score. How quickly did you catch onto that and are there any other ways that are reflected in your score?

I sampled lots of clock-ticking sounds. I worked with Daniel Sonnabend - he’s got lots of old analog tape machines - and we were messing around with that. The tape machine player almost became its own instrument. We had this big church bell for the timekeepers at the beginning of episode four. That was sampled and then downgraded, so it gets glitchy as it goes on to signify what’s happening in the story. I was just messing around with a lot of that in the background, and it's all over everything. There's always an urgency and a time-ticking feeling in the background of lots of tracks.

How long does one spend listening to samples of clocks before you find the right one?

I've got a lot! I'm sure they'll come in handy at some point.

I’ve read that you wanted a score that “reflected Loki’s personality.” What were some of the characteristics you were looking to emphasise and accentuate with your score?

Something that I touched on with Kate, from reading the scripts for the very first time was Anthony Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange. In that film, Alex commits these horrendous acts and he's extremely violent, and yet somehow you connect with him. I feel like Loki is the same. He's a likable villain. In the series, he comes to terms with his fallibility and it is quite painful for him. So I suppose my job is to help him reach those emotional depths. When he sees his mother in episode one, his past is calling to him and that's when we hear those haunting Norwegian instruments that suddenly seem to shine. Yearning for your mother is something we can all relate to.

We’ve spoken a bit about the use of the Theremin. What drove your selection of the other instruments?

I did this amazing lockdown project for an ad agency. They kind of got all of their artists to play Pass the Parcel with a theme, and we just did this lockdown piece. I'm not sure how successful it was, but the person that I got sent the material from was Charlie Draper who's a theremin player and a theremin enthusiast. So he was in the back of my mind, and I knew I really wanted to collaborate with him at some point. He played on my demo. And then the Norwegians... I saw them at a concert in Stoke Newington about three years ago. They're in this group called the Lodestar Trio. They're amazing, and they play with Max Bailey. I've known him for years, and I just went to this concert. He did all these interpretations of Bach, but with a kind of Norwegian folky twist. I just loved the instrument combination of the Nyckelharpa, the Hardanger fiddle, and the violin. It sounds mystical and magical and amazing. It felt like the perfect pairing with Loki’s past.

I read that you started with the finale and worked backward. Is that an unusual way of working for you or do you do that often?

This whole show has been a departure from anything I've ever done before, in terms of the scale of it, and, you know, the resources. It's all just been different. I think Kate and Kevin [Feige], the producer, saw it as a six-hour film. They didn't want it to be a TV show. The thing about scoring a film is that you do have that time to really craft themes and to have more of an overarching narrative than you sometimes get to do in TV because there's usually a quicker turnaround. And I guess because of the pandemic as well, I had more time.

I didn’t want to just work my way through the score in a linear order. I wanted to know where I was going and then seed it. I think writing a suite before starting on a picture, and having those themes in my mind before seeing the footage was super useful as well. I think I'm always going to do that from now on.

Are we ever gonna hear the full suites somewhere down the line?

I had never done one before. And I was like, “have you got any examples from anybody else?” So they sent me suites from a couple of other composers, like Ludwig Göransson’s one for Black Panther. I was totally geeking out on that. I heard Mark Mothersbaugh’s suite for Thor: Ragnarok as well, and that was kinda intimidating. But it was really good to hear that they've all gone through this process.

You get to see these epic moments in Loki before there’s any music to it. Was there any particular moment you watched that you were excited to work on?

I read the scripts, and I had Mobius in my head as something very different. I saw him being a bigger person who was quite slow, like a kind of cheeseburger-eating cop. The way Owen Wilson brought that character to life was so brilliant, as was the chemistry between him and Tom. I loved watching their bromance. It was really fun to score them as their relationship blossomed. When Mobius is pruned, that was so awesome. I loved episode four. I had seeded everything and built their friendship up. That moment where Tom walks down the corridor in slow motion with tears in his eyes… I loved scoring that.

Loki is a man of many multitudes, and the show goes down a lot of strange avenues. I love the tracks where you really get to do something different from the main body of the score, like ‘DB Cooper’ or ‘Miss Minutes’.

I had a bit more time for episodes one and two. Like, I had a month to score episode one. By the time I got to episode six, it was really frantic. So, with the tracks you mentioned, I just had the time to do it. Kate was like, “we've got a source track that sort of works, but wouldn't it be really fun if we could do a version of it with the Loki theme?” And I was like, “yep, cool, let's try it.” It was one of the upsides to the pandemic, that we had more time to work on it and do stuff like that. I did a film before with where I got Chris Lawrence - he's like a bass player in London, and he plays in orchestra’s but he also plays at Ronnie Scott’s - and he did the baseline on ‘D.B. Cooper’. He’s so good. And I sang on that track too!

‘Miss Minutes’ felt like a moment to tip your hat to those sci-fi shows and do a pastiche. So I got the theremin and the choir and had some fun with that piece. And again, that's got the TVA theme in it. I think that’s really nice, and it's something they did with WandaVision as well. There's cohesion in the score. Even when you're hearing this jazzy track, you're still getting the Loki theme and you're hearing a different side of his character.

You mentioned how you had more time to score the earlier episodes. Was there anything positive about having less time on the later episodes? How do you prefer to work?

I remember reading something about people who can see colours with music. I feel that I have the same thing with a scene. I can watch a scene and I can start hearing it in my head, and as I get more into a project... I remember watching episode six, and because I was so into the project and into the characters by that point, I was like, that's what needs to happen. I could hear it as I was watching it. I feel like sometimes if you’re spending ages working on something, that instinct can get a bit boiled down. Episode six felt like my most instinctive version of the music because I didn't have time to fiddle around with it. It just felt like that was my very undiluted response.

I like it. Natalie Holt uncut.

I just kind of sketched it all out on the piano as I heard it. It was very quick.

How long did you have to work on that particular episode?

I think it was a week. It was a very quick turnaround with the orchestral recording, and I thought we were going to need more time.

How involved were you with the track Tom Hiddleston sings in Asgardian?

They had found a Norwegian song, and he'd already recorded it. I was like, I think we need a musician in the background. There should be someone on that train who’s a little bit drunk and has an instrument, and it's a kind of space-age fiddle, and they're going to accompany Tom in the scene and I think that's going to really help. Kate and Kevin were like, yeah, that could really work. So I did a few versions where I just took what Tom had done, added some violins,  and then improvised a bit in the middle where Loki sings to Sylvie. And they're like, yes, we've got to do this. So they went back in and shot a pickup of an alien musician in that sequence because I insisted. I really wish it was me!

We know that season two of Loki is in the works now. They better have you on camera.

Oh my god, I'm so up for it!

How did you find it working remotely? Were you involved in the mixing stage at all?

It was kind of frustrating. Getting picture to work in the orchestral recording sessions was a problem. Marvel is very strict about how a picture goes out because they don't want any leaks, so that was quite challenging. I could never send people the picture to play with. It's kind of nice for the musicians to come in and see what they're playing against, but there was none of that. That was a bit of a downside. With that said, it was easier to get hold of people because everyone was at home and really happy to be working. I don't know if I'd have got the job had it not been for the fact that everyone was suddenly happy to accept more remote working than they would have done in the past. So I feel like it's opened some doors. The frustrations and the benefits seemed to be in balance.

Speaking of opening doors, you’re only the second woman to compose an MCU score (Pinar Toprak scored Captain Marvel in 2019). That feels significant.

We're in a time, certainly, where I think people are very consciously opening up opportunities to all sorts of people that wouldn't have had those opportunities before, which I'm really grateful for. A few years ago, I wouldn't have gotten this opportunity until a bit further on in my career. So it accelerated things. We are moving forward. But the thing that I really struggle with… I went to a state school and I got scholarships to study music. It wasn't prohibitively expensive to go to university. I did a master's and I didn't come out with 30 grand of debt. The opportunities are here for me now, but I think if I was young and I wanted to go to film school I wouldn't be able to afford it.

So what bothers me is social mobility. I still think we're opening up our industry, but we're not supporting people being able to study music and being able to get into film, and being able to spend those years doing low-paid jobs from the ground up. I still think we've got a long way to go with that. But I think at my age and my level, I'm just privileged that I did have those bursaries and those opportunities to study music, and I hope they're still there for my daughter's generation.

You have a lot of synths in this score. How tricky was it to find that balance between the classical and modern instruments?It's a blend. There’s some in-the-box stuff. Some of the synths are recorded, and then I ran them through the analog tape machine to dirty them up. I've got a Juno 60, so I've got some analog synths going on. It's such a weird process, isn't it? Creating something and being like, no, that's right! Jake Jackson - who mixed the score - must feel like I’m a complete control freak. I was like, “yeah I really like your mix but can you just go back and basically listen to my demo?” I was quite specific with him. He did an amazing job. The D.B. Cooper track... I cannot believe that he made it sound like that. I've never worked with him before, and handing your work over to an engineer does feel a bit like, oh, how's this gonna be? But it was a really, really great experience, and I think Jake is a genius. He really gets it, and he was really collaborative and respectful of my intentions with everything. I never felt like he was trying to put his mark on anything. It was a really smooth part of the process.

What conversations do you have about how prevalent your music is in the mix when it comes to the TV side of things?

I was so obsessed with Loki that I couldn’t let it go. I went to the dub even when it was two o'clock in the morning. I just wanted to check in and I was calling Kate and asking her, “please can you turn the music up here?” I was like a dog with a bone until it was ripped out of my mouth and they were like that’s it now, this episode is locked. I definitely fought for things to be turned up.

You had a 32-piece choir for the last 2 episodes. What was it like to get that recording in? Are you watching as they’re recording it from a remote location?

They were a Hungarian choir. The male singers could really go down. I was adding notes in at the bottom for those guys to sing. I didn’t know anyone could sing that low. That was cool. I had never recorded a choir before, so it was a new one for me. I was really lucky to have Andy Brown from the London Metropolitan orchestra. He assisted me with the Brass and singing sessions.

I imagine that one of the cooler things about scoring something like Loki is that you are now part of the wider MCU universe. I think I heard hints of Alan Silvestri’s Avengers cue a couple of times…

I put in a Loki version of the Avengers theme at the end of episode 4. Also, at the very start of the season before the title card, it goes from an Alan Silvestri cue and then segues and then I take it over. It was really cool to get to play around with the multitrack from that. I was always a big fan of the Thor: Ragnarok and Black Panther scores, so those were kind of my inspirations. I was just kind of honoured to be in the same league as those people and those scores because I thought they were great and quirky and had all these interesting flavours and textures.

I love that you’ve been given the freedom to be as bold as you’ve been with your score.

I wanted to do something a bit different, and Marvel's TV ventures... they're wanting to do something a bit different and challenging as well with this new direction that they're taking. It felt like there was a lot of creative freedom being dished out with this series, in every department. Kate was like, “let's try this DB Cooper scene with the theme, if it doesn't work then it's fine.” It was just trying things out and seeing what stuck.

I remember handing over my score for episode one, just before Christmas 2020. I'd scored the whole thing and was very nervous because I think it was the first time Kevin Feige and the execs were going to hear my stuff. I’d really worked hard on it, and it had a lot of live stuff. There was just one note back from Kevin Feige - push it further. I think that's so cool. As we went on the execs were really happy with it, I got calls from Victoria Alonso and Louis D’Esposito [Marvel producers]. They both rang me and just thanked me and they were like, 'we're just so happy that you've taken the ball and run with it'. I couldn't have asked for a nicer bunch of people to work with. I wasn't sure how it was going to be, I was a bit intimidated. I thought it might be a bit more terrifying. But actually, it turned out to be a really amazing, fulfilling experience.

Welcome to the world of Loki YouTube covers! How far down that rabbit hole have you fallen, and how much are you enjoying that side of the MCU experience?

It's really flattering. I’ve posted some of them on my Twitter. It’s just amazing how quickly people will post music from the show after episodes. They sound almost the same as my demo, and they’ve knocked it out in about two hours the minute after they’ve watched the episode.

Once your work on Loki was complete, how did you detox? Do you delete all your voice memos?

I've still got them. The TVA theme actually came to me as I was walking down the high street. I've got some in the bank for the future as well. I'm always noodling and sketching things down on manuscript paper. How do I detox? I just bought a new piano. It’s 100 years old. I haven't had a piano for a bit, so I've just been playing a lot of Bach.

Unfortunately, not every costume was added either due to their limited-time nature, the directors’ inability to find a proper matchup in the brackets, or the costume’s lack of popularity. One example being my “Almost Great Detective”. There was also only one Common costume in the entire bracket: Gingerbrave’s Tuxedo. Staring down Purple Yam, based on a short meeting with him, I would guess he’ll be out in the first round, but who knows? The post’s votes will be updated as needed, and winners will be marked. That’s it! Good luck to everyone in the bracket!

Reaction for Cookies of the Year & my very best artwork, Combination for Timekeeper & Roguefort.

It's time to gotta crying at my art studio? A little story from Creator. (Featuring Timekeeper Cookie & Roguefort Cookie's: Pursuit of Lost Time combine fanart by Esther Yee Artz)

This is Esther Yee Artz & Gaming talking! Well... I seperated the word for my side while I need to talking about gameplay at CRO is Cookie of the Year (CotY) and my artwork story.

CRO: Cookies of the Year general voting reaction by Esther Yee Gaming.

Well... This year look likely unfair to me because certain of my favrote Cookies is gotta choosen in same time. Example: On yesterday, there have local Kid Detective & the Rogue already made me confussed? Angry? Both of them is true!

Reason

While Walnut & Roguefort is my most favriote Cookies from CRO & CRPW, I like with the artstyle and their costumes (Rare & Super Epic) style. Actually, I like all Cookies from CRO. Did I said is this so fair? No! CRO already ruined friendship to me.

Walnut is a most cute girl and Roguefort is a most handsome boy to me. Ehem! Thats is not mean I ship them for this moment, fooker!

FUN FACT TIME! Walnut & Roguefort edition of me

Did you know... I appearing at CRO since 2019 when Walnut Cookie already realised on 2 day, 29th August 2019.

While I want 'Catch' Roguefort really need 4 day to get it after realised for he because of GingerBrave AP. (That time my GingerBrave is 270 AP because that time I was a Noob player) So, I keep waiting for this one.

I buy it Rare costumes of them when I already get it the Cookies. I collect the Rainbow Coob for them frist and finally I collect it Rainbow Crystal for my wishlist. Haha! But I already failed for Sea Fairy Legendary Costume. Goodbye.....

That time my in-game name is Lilian. Then, I changed to Hataro Cutie when I already join at Guild that I have been going in till now.... I already changed it my in-game name is Esther Yee Gaming.

The best artwork in my memory by Esther Yee Artz

Now... It's time to presenting my artwork is..... Drumroll appearience

Ta-da! It's them, combination artwork for Timekeeper Cookie & Roguefort Cookie (Pursuit of Lost Time, Super Epic Costume realised on 23 October 2020).

While I have seen it at my Twitter account, there have many more CR Artist for fanart have made it but they have made in another style.

For example, they made Roguefort with scared face. Suddenly they also made him a angry face and no reaction. But me...? I made a sad reaction with cracked glasses lens.

Story by me.

This is just my imaginary story in my idea while I drawing this art.

When he want leave from Walnut at top floor at TBD while he want return from his manor with his airship, he suddenly disappear from his airship and he dropped at timeline and met up with Timekeeper. It seem Timekeeper want talking with him while she already fighting with 'her old-past face', Croissant.

She wanna talking about his very past memory, timeline & quest from her but that her quest look likely as evil quest is ruined the timepiece from Croissant that she already fix it. But he won't doing that. Then, Timekeeper cracked Roguefort glasses and he become sad emotion just for his glasses lens.

I also have included with speedpaint at below.

Yawn.... I already tired when I draw it. I take this art till 2-3 days working. Idea, sketching, lineart, coloring, blending, final touch and done! Thats is my terms in my artwork. Thats only i said at here.

It appears that Y/N Cookie just can't catch a break from these folks.

It'd be honestly interesting to see how some cookies would react to Y/N finally snapping back or getting enraged from all the stress.

(p.s: Remember that your mental health is important too! Please take a break if you need one!)

Halt! The Restriction Mayhem Update!

This and a reply on that post about restraining orders gave me this idea heheha

Greetings, Cookie Runners. I’m Brittle, a writer for the CR x Reader tag.

Today, I’ll be introducing this totally not made up new event starring Y/N Cookie, a cookie that that can never seem to catch a break from the shower of attention their fellow cookies give them.

After many major incidents involving a feud between cookies, Y/N Cookie is at their wits end for some peace and quiet, and so has decided to have some time apart..with restraining orders! Will Y/N Cookie finally get their tranquility with this method? You’ll find out by playing the new event mode!

In this event, you’ll play various stages themed around certain clingy cookies, collect the evidence jellies you need to file the restraining order against the Cookie.

You can attempt the harder difficulties after completing Normal Mode with Hard and Intense Mode, which will up the challenge in stages and evidence!

For costumes, Scorpion and Cocoa will be receiving Epic costumes while a Super Epic is ready for Y/N Cookie, it’s Y/N Cookie’s Super Epic Costume, Absolute Heartstopper! There’s a new sheriff in town and your heart is their bounty!

That’s all that will be shared for today, hopefully Y/N Cookie survives the wait for the update and try not to get dogpiled on by upset cookies. Take care bye byeeee

Coupon Code: RUN Y/N COOKIE RUN (To clarify, this isn’t an actual code, but you probably already knew that)

Normal Mode:

5th Anniversary- Labyrinth of Remembrance

🍮 Is it the 5th Anniversary already?

🌰 Yep, and it’s gonna be fun! But first… https://youtu.be/M4eSzsT2pqg make sure you share this official video with your friends! If it gets 200,000 views across all of their channels before the update goes live, then everyone gets a free present of 2,000 Crystals 💎 and 1,000 Rainbow Cubes 🌈! As a bonus, enter the code: HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY before November 24th to get 555 Rainbow Cubes and an entire Jelly Shape set!

Now… where do we start? Riiiiiight here-

🕰 Ah, ah, ah, not so fast! Gingerbrave’s not leaving from Lotus Dragon’s palace where you left off, he’s leaving from the Dragons Valley and just waved Mala Sauce Cookie off! It could be a bit of banter for you guys that caught up on the “Interdimensional Super Mayhem” story in Cookie Run Kingdom…

🌰 …wow! Thanks, Timekeeper! Now that we know where they left from, they found themselves nearby a glass labyrinth after following their Magic Compass!

🕰 They also find Amber Sugar Cookie nearby, who somehow listens to them and offers to show them the way through that maze. Once inside, they find Sugar Glass Cookie tending to some flowers inside, who tells them to follow really closely to learn about what’s inside. Little did they know is that the entire maze is made up of Cookies’ memories! And if you look at the top of that stained glass window on the right, that’s me! Will they find out the secrets hidden in the labyrinth? They probably will… or will they?!

🌰 Getting back on track, that’s this month’s main event. Run through four different mazes and get enough points to get a memory fragment. Getting these fragments gets you some rewards and advances the story a bit further! …and if you look closely on the upper-right on that picture below, you’ll probably be limited to running with tickets.

🔎 Based on past events, one can safely deduce that unless they’ve drastically altered their ticket economy, you will have to spend a ticket to run once, and you can buy more by spending Crystals. Additional buffs are most likely in order for meeting and upgrading Amber Sugar Cookie, as well as Sugar Glass Cookie once a further date arrives… but we currently don’t know what those are yet.

What we CAN finalize is that each of the four mazes has a different theme, and each of them will have objectives that base themselves on said theme. Complete these tasks to earn bonus points to add to your score. As you run, you can also earn skill points that you can redeem on the event’s Skill Tree to help you advance through the event. Complete the entire event to earn a special Lobby Design: the Brilliant Glass Labyrinth!

💎 With these events ongoing, some additional events will run alongside them for more… sentimental treasures. Complete tasks to earn actual treasures (or really any rewards that may or may not be Treasures), and to uncover the loading screens of Cookie Run Ovenbreak from the past five years. You can even rediscover when you first started playing with a commemorative photograph!

🍮 Don’t worry if that’s not for you! There’s also a casual Anniversary Quiz that you can try for a present! We also have a login event where you can get free presents for EVERY DAY you log in! In mid-November, we’ll be meeting Sugar Glass Cookie! Oh, wait, wait! We have something EXTRA SPECIAL just for you! It’s a Super Epic Costume Ticket! Redeem it anywhere in the Costume Gacha and you’ll get a Super Epic Costume for free! Yay! Free presents! Even if you already have it, the 8 Rainbow Crystals you’ll get from it will help you get closer to a costume you really want!

🍮 That’s it for the first part, we’ll be back later with the second part where we’ll get to introduce Amber Sugar Cookie and the costumes that’ll be coming! Oh, and complete Sour Belt’s trial if you haven’t, since that’s ending with the Fashionista Spotlight Treasure Trial too!
