Cookie Run: Kingdom characters if they were HSR pathrstriders... (a ramble)

I caught a wild case of late-night thoughts recently where I started contemplating about CRK and HSR and began wondering what paths would CRK characters be on if they were pathstriders in HSR ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

This is purely based on vibes and sleep-deprived thoughts, but gameplay wise, I think Pure Vanilla Cookie would totally be an Abundance character (though if you held me at gunpoint and told me to choose something else, I would pick Harmony as a second choice). Lore-wise though, I could potentially see him as a Member of the Genius Society (alongside White Lily Cookie pre-truth). I can totally imagine Pure Vanilla having... like... an alternate path form (kinda like the Trailblazer or March 7th) that's Nihility and based on his Truthless Recluse form ヽ(°〇°)ﾉ

I can def see Hollyberry Cookie as a Preservation character gameplay-wise, tho I'm not sure what faction she would be a part of lore-wise. ¯\_(- > -)_/¯

Dark Cacao Cookie, however, I can imagine as a Hunt character and a part of the Xianzhou Alliance, I think...

Weirdly enough, I can sort of vaguely see Golden Cheese Cookie as either a Remembrance or Harmony character gameplay-wise under the same logic as Jing Yuan being Erudition. Lore-wise though, I guess Golden Cheese gives me the vibes of someone who'd be a part of Penacony. At first I thought the Land of Festivities didn't suit her vibes, but then I remembered the appearance of the Golden City, so lore-wise, she could be a part of Penacony, probably a Dreamweaver.

Although I can see White Lily Cookie's gameplay path being Erudition, I think it would be more interesting if she (for similar reasons as Jing Yuan and what I suggested for Golden Cheese) were a Destruction character. Though as I mentioned before, I do think she would be a member of the Genius Society pre-truth. Post-truth, I do think it would be interesting if she had become a part of the Antimatter Legion (maybe even as an Emanator) or the Annihilation Gang.

Shadow Milk Cookie gives me Nihility vibes, tho I do think that, narrative-wise, he too would have been a part of the Genius Society during his Sage/Fount of Truth days (or maybe a member of the Intelligentsia Guild). After becoming a beast tho, I can see him becoming a pathstrider of Enigmata (the opposite of Nous' Erudition) or a Masked Fool ()giving in entirely to Aha's hedonism)

I think Cream Unicorn Cookie's gameplay path would either be Abundance, Harmony, or Remembrance. Don't know what they would be lore-wise tho. ᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟ

Tho I think Wedding Cake and Black Forest Cookie's gameplay paths would be Harmony and Destruction respectively

And that's all I got now lol (≧▽≦)

Thanks for tuning in to my ramble lol ≽(•⩊ •マ≼

[philosophybits]

The finest discoveries concerning culture are made by the individual man within himself when he finds two heterogeneous powers ruling there. Supposing someone is as much in love with the plastic arts or music as he is enraptured by the spirit of science and he regards it as impossible to resolve this contradiction by annihilating the one and giving the other free rein, the only thing for him to do is to turn himself into so large a hall of culture that both powers can be accommodated within it, even if at opposite ends, while between them there reside mediating powers with the strength and authority to settle any contention that might break out. Such a hall of culture within the single individual would, however, bear the strongest resemblance to the cultural structure of entire epochs and provide continual instruction regarding them by means of analogy. For wherever grand cultural architecture has developed, its purpose has been to effect a harmony and concord between contending powers through the agency of an overwhelming assemblage of the other powers, but without the need to suppress them or clap them in irons.

I love seeing Rivi with her maidens c: What’s the story behind them, if you don’t mind me asking?

@sugarsagecat also asked: Oh please, oh please I must know more about Rivienne's companions in the latest screenshots!

Thank you for asking and I hope the holidays are kind to you!

Honestly, when I first took photos of them, I didn't consider an actual storyline attached to the ladies. However, the more I thought about it, the more it fleshed itself out in headcanons as to why Rivienne would be accompanied by maidens. There is a bit to the background as to how this came to be, I hope you do not mind --

It would date back to when Rivienne rushed past the walls of Castrum Oriens; she was rumored, among their ranks, to be a force that struck down the garrison that would set themselves before her vicious path. Within these fortified walls, conscripts were forced to fight, becoming fodder for her starved blade. These people were once of the Shroud, they were shackled and then trained to die for the Empire. However, they were met with mercy and not steel. They were met with the perfume of blood and iron, and from the bloody lips of the woman that stormed the compound, instructions to flee were given, to seek liberation and unbind themselves from this oppressive situation.

And so they did.

A few never returned and found it easier to go where no one knew their names and history; the ones that tried found that no one awaited their return, thus they felt ostracized in Gridania's society. Their choices were limited, and with very little to their name, they turned to the woods, finding that facing the elements would fare better than being shunned by the denizens. Banditry became the way of life, that was until betrayal and greed among members dissolved their group. Diminished in numbers, some of them scattered, others decided to venture deeper into the forest, finding solace in solitude. It was these women who used what knowledge they acquired from these last years to fend for themselves under the thick canopies of the Black Shroud.

Many years had passed since freedom was granted to them, and though there were hardships faced since then, they had not forgotten the scent of blood-soaked flowers. The same scent was picked up by the winds on a chance evening traveling near the Guardian Tree. It was there that they first caught the glint of something under speckled sunlight filtering through the treetops. The gilded armor, the dishevel of golden curls, the sword that drank the blood of the tyrants that captured them. It was impaled into the earth, and against the lush grass, gathered at the foundation of the gnarled roots, was she seated, bound by them, cushioned by flowers that bloomed in her self-induced slumber.

The weariness of constant battle had not only affected her physically, but mentally she had grown tired of this world.

She would not awaken with any of their rousings, her skin was cool to the touch yet she drew breath. They cared for her in that dormant state, but considering how the archaic rhizomes curled around her limbs they had all assumed that she had become part of it. Yet they did not stray far from where she rested.

It was not long until rumors reached the ears of bandits of the fallen warrior who was adorned in gold, and they sought to rip it free from it - for what did a dead woman have need of such. The women, who had been caring for her, took arms when hearing of the intrusion, but with what little they had, they were outnumbered and ill-equipped against them.

When the fight arrived at dawn break and the women stood their ground, their prayers were whispered and they readied themselves to be received into the lifestream..

.. but such was not the end of their tale that day.

From behind them, the wind ferried the scent of flowers and the earth released its fury as Rivienne stood and addressed them as filth, blaming them for interrupting her slumber. Before they could retaliate, she beckoned the ground with a few words to part under the feet of their assailants. Stunned, they women who would be her protectors, watched in astonishment as the world shifted, and into the heavens rang the screams released as the maw of the earth swallowed the bandits. Though the spell took much out of her, they were rescued..

─ once again.

The Greenwrath, they assumed her to be, made into flesh and blood. They believed it was fate to find her, to protect her as she had done for them. No protest would come from Rivienne, who owed them for caring for her in turn. They were warrior women wanting somewhere to belong and Rivienne offered a home, and a blade, that would keep them safe.

No amount of "peace-building" will be able to last, nor will harmony and happiness be attained in a society that ignores, pushes to the margins, or excludes a part of itself. [...] The culture of selfishness and individualism that often prevails in our society is not, I repeat, not what builds up and leads to a more habitable world: rather, it is the culture of solidarity that does so; the culture of solidarity means seeing others not as rivals or statistics, but as brothers and sisters.

Organization is impossible unless those who know the laws of harmony lay the foundation.

-Ancient Egyptian Proverbs

[gallifreyinstituteforlearning]

what's the Eye of Harmony and how did the Master get out of the one in the Doctor's TARDIS?

What's the Eye of Harmony?

The Eye of Harmony is basically a star—a very special one. It was created (or discovered, depending on which story you believe) by the Time Lords, specifically by the legendary figures Rassilon and Omega. They say that Rassilon and Omega manipulated a star while it was collapsing into a black hole, suspending its collapse and freezing it in a state of perpetual decay.

🔌 How Does It Work?

This state of suspended destruction creates an almost limitless source of energy, which the Time Lords harnessed to power all of Gallifrey's technology.

Suspended Star: The Eye is essentially a star in a constant state of near-collapse, teetering on the edge of becoming a black hole but never quite falling into it. This creates massive potential energy that the Time Lords tap into.

Artron Energy: The energy that the Eye produces is known as artron energy, a form of temporal radiation that's required to power TARDISes.

Artron Energy, biology style: Artron energy is also crucial to Time Lord biology, particularly prominent in their healing. Exposure to the Eye's energies is believed to be one of the factors that gave the Time Lords their regenerative abilities (again, depending on what story you believe).

Temporal Anchor: The Eye also plays a critical role in anchoring the Web of Time. It's not just a power source but a 'hitching post' for the Web, ensuring that time flows consistently and is controlled across the universe. TARDISes can use it as a reliable 'reference' when they transcend time and space.

🏛️ The Eye in a TARDIS

There's also a version of the Eye of Harmony in every TARDIS. This has led to some confusion over the years, with different accounts offering various explanations:

Miniaturised Duplicate: One explanation is that the Eye inside a TARDIS is a miniature, mathematically modelled duplicate of the original Eye on Gallifrey. This version retains all the properties of the original but on a smaller scale, providing the TARDIS with the energy it needs to operate independently.

Fraction of the Eye: Another account suggests that every TARDIS contains a 'fraction' of the Eye of Harmony. This would mean that the Eye in the TARDIS is directly linked to the one on Gallifrey, drawing energy from the original to power the ship.

Merely Named After: Then there's the straightforward explanation—it’s called the Eye of Harmony because it serves a similar function, but it's not actually the Eye from Gallifrey.

How did the Master escape from the Eye of Harmony?

When the Master was sucked into the Eye of Harmony, it was supposed to be a one-way ticket to oblivion. The Eye is designed to break down matter into pure energy, which is meant to be an inescapable fate for anyone. But this is the Master we're talking about, and they're notoriously hard to kill.

🛠️ Manipulating the Energy

As the Eye of Harmony attempted to disassemble the Bruce Master into energy, he managed to synchronise with the raw artron energy that the Eye was pouring out. Instead of being consumed by it, he rode the energy like a wave, pushing his consciousness and what remained of his physical body into a spare room within the Doctor's TARDIS.

The TARDIS immediately ejected that room into the Time Vortex to protect itself and the Doctor. This ejection was supposed to trap the Master in the void, but it also inadvertently saved him from being completely destroyed by the Eye's power.

⏳ Stranded in the Time Vortex

Now stranded in the Time Vortex, the Master was stuck in a floating TARDIS room, cut off from the rest of the ship and from any stable reality. So what's a Master to do? He scavenged through the Doctor’s discarded belongings tin the room, searching for anything to help him.

While he was looking, the energy from the Eye that remained in the room revitalised his decaying body. This bought him time, allowing him to survive longer in the Vortex and continue plotting his escape.

🔧 Building a Makeshift Ship

Over the years—hundreds of them, in fact—the Master scavenged parts from the debris that occasionally drifted through the Vortex. This included bits of time ships, wreckage from other unlucky travellers, and even a tractor beam he managed to find.

During this time, the Master even captured a creature called a Vormatoda. Inspired by a VHS tape in the Doctor's spare room, he disguised and brainwashed the child believing it was his daughter, Alison. The Vormatoda's parent began attacking passing timeships in search of its child, leaving behind more components for the Master to salvage. Piece by piece, he cobbled together a functional vessel.

👩‍🚀 Rescuing River Song

At one point, River Song, mid-transit in the Time Vortex, experienced a malfunction with her vortex manipulator. The Master, ever opportunistic, used his newly acquired tractor beam to rescue her. Posing as a man named Daniel, he convinced River to help him collect more wreckage from the Vortex, which included valuable pieces from a prison ship.

Eventually River Song saw through the Master's disguise and managed to break the Alison's brainwashing. This led to a confrontation where the Vormatoda's parent attacked the Master’s makeshift ship, forcing him to make an escape.

🚀 Final Escape from the Vortex

With the Vormatoda attacking and the ship barely holding together, the Master used a stasis pod from the prison ship to survive the final journey out of the Vortex.

And what does he do as soon as he's out? He meets up with several of his other incarnations, forms a band, gets into a massive brawl with his selves, and the band splits up. True story.
