#she doesn't get a tag yet bc she is nameless

Hey, I read the tags on a post and was wondering... what artifacts make Lily and PV's dynamic toxic? If it's about the love potion/love letter there is no confirmation that was something either of them did... there are a lot of artifacts in the museum that are just like. General stuff from the magic school before it fell-- most of the artifacts related to Lily and PV and the ancients specifically are in the history section.

For those of you who don't really care about Cookie Run Kingdom, have a Read More bc this might be a little lengthy lol

(also, purelily shippers, you guys might wanna avoid reading this one)

So I wanna preface this with a few things:

1.) I haven't finished everything the game has to offer yet! I went through the Tower of Sweet Chaos' story, but I'm actually stuck on Raspberry Cookie in 11-27, so depending on what happens, my opinion could change and I could just look like a fool here lmao

2.) In those tags, current dynamic = Pure Vanilla and Dark Enchantress (who's also White Lily)'s dynamic I don't dislike the purelily ship or look down on anyone who does. I actually really fascinated by their history, haha. But personally, my heart's not set on shipping them in their current state because uhh... as far as I know, Dark Enchantress is currently trying to kill Pure Vanilla atm.

That said, lemme spill some of my thoughts on the relics here bc I've actually been wanting to talk about them since I discovered them:

You're right in that there's no concrete evidence that these relics were theirs. No one knows for sure except the writers themselves. But on the flipside, there's also a concerning amount of detail that suggests it being a very real possibility that I haven't seen debunked yet.

One of the biggest concerns is how the Nameless Transcript is within this set of relics. It's titled as "Nameless", but it's strongly hinted that it's White Lily's, which makes you wonder if this set of relics is partially themed after her.

The other relic within the set that's also worth noting is the Lost Portrait. It's not as big of a concern as the Nameless Transcript, but it does solidify that at least several items in this set are themed after White Lily, since this specific portrait was a pivotal item in her backstory.

That aside, let's talk about the relics in question themselves, because those two have some interesting things going on as well.

Starting with Someone's Love Letter, this relic honestly feels like a direct parallel to Pure Vanilla's letter.

Thematically, this makes sense; the set of relics this letter's in is clearly themed after Pure Vanilla while the Love Letter's relic set is hinted to be themed after White Lily, and romantically or not, these two really loved each other at one point in their lives, friends or otherwise. But the thing is, Pure Vanilla always had a strong sense of morals, so it's highly doubtful he wrote the love letter, themes aside.

White Lily, on the other hand, was always shown to have good intentions, but highly questionable morals. She doesn't mind violating any rule she has to to get what she wants, as long as the end justifies the means (i.e sneaking into several forbidden areas of the academy, suggesting taking a piece of the 1st headmaster's soul, etc.).

But the idea of her making a love potion just to get Pure Vanilla's affection sounds way too sinister for White Lily, because despite all the damages she's caused, her intentions are still shown to be good-natured. Also, Devsis makes a conscious effort to make sure the relics match whatever subject they want to associate it with, and the love potion's aesthetic is vastly different from White Lily's design.

But remember that White Lily is also Dark Enchantress. The Tower of Sweet Chaos' story showed that Dark Enchantress isn't just White Lily possessed, brainwashed, or anything like that. She IS Dark Enchantress. Once she was out of the oven, she made a conscious decision to be who she wanted to be, which means the side of her that's Dark Enchantress has always existed within her, even back when she was White Lily. And what does Dark Enchantress look like?

Colors: Check Heart theme: Check (staff) Love theme: Check (Dark "Enchantress")

If this is all true, does it paint a real ugly picture regarding White Lily and Pure Vanilla's relationship? Yeah. Do I actually believe White Lily would actually do something like this though? Also yes. Depending on what the reason is and given her past actions, I don't think it'd be above her at this point.

I will say though; her motivations are usually well-intended, so it doesn't feel right to assume she'd do something like this out of pure whim. I don't know what that motivation is, but I'd like to believe that White Lily wouldn't do this anything like this without a good reason. My personal theory is that she either bought or made the potion herself, but not for sinister reasons.

Of course, I could be wrong about everything and those relics could really belong to some rando cookies lol. But when I say I can't bring myself to ship them much, this is kinda why :')

Okay, first of all I love bully!Osamu - that man just 👌. But like, imagine if he’s at the mall with Atsumu or his team or whatever and he notices you also there wandering around with some other guy?

omg ok picture high school bully!osamu (so the two of you haven't fucked yet)

he's out at the mall with atsumu already pissed bc the two of them asked you to tag along but you told them you had plans. he figured you'd be hanging out with some friends so imagine his shock when his brother notices you a few yards away.

"oh shit, y/n's here" atsumu nudges his twin in the arm. osamu's head shoots up and lo and behold, there you are walking around with a boy that neither of them recognizes.

"the fuck is she doin'?" he grumbles under his breath but atsumu chuckles.

"leave her alone, samu. she's probably on a date or somethin'," but even atsumu can't hide the bitterness in his voice.

no. osamu thinks. you don't just go on dates—nobody's been dumb enough to ask you out and actually follow through with it. (because osamu would either beat the shit out of them or convince you not to go) which is why he's so annoyed in the first place. why didn't you tell him? did you want to go out with this loser?

atsumu claps him on the shoulder. "come on, let's do somethin' else," he drags his brother away so he doesn't have to look at you anymore. of course, osamu isn't gonna let this go (he's a demon)

after the twins meet up with some of their teammates, osamu excuses himself so he's finally separated from his brother. he seeks you out very easily, finding the two of you sitting in the food court. you look so pretty smiling at this nameless boy. it's the same sweet smile osamu finds you giving his brother from time to time.

now, he could stick to his tried and true method of embarrassing you—dropping a slushie in your lap or tripping you as you're throwing out your food. but with his brother nearby it would just end in another fight with his twin and he doesn't really want to hear you whining about it for a whole week.

instead, osamu pulls out his phone and just sends you a simple message.

to: crybaby: look up

he waits for you to stare down at your phone, eyes going wide when his name pops up on the screen. discreetly, as to not let your "date" know that your attention was elsewhere, you tap away a reply.

from: crybaby: he's just a friend

from: crybaby: pls don't do anything

osamu snorts, it's cute how skittish you get around him

to: crybaby: make up an excuse and get away from him. i'll be in the parkin lot

he waits for you to read the message before walking out of the mall and heading to the parking lot. it only takes about five minutes before he sees you timidly walking over to him. osamu opens his arms out to trap you in a hug. "yer gonna have to make it to me, dummy" he says tugging on your wrist to drag you to the bus stop.

making it up to him usually means spending the whole day with him, eating the food that he makes, cuddling on the couch, and kissing for "practice" (his words).

"who was that?" he asks as the two of you wait for the bus.

you bite your lip, it really was just a friend but osamu would never see it like that. "minoru...we're in the same math class..."

what you didn't know was that osamu was now planning on meeting up with this minoru to have a "friendly chat" with him when they're back in school.

10 OC Facts: Bal'sara

Tagged by @raven-of-domain-kwaad, thank you! And tagging (no pressure): @chaoticspacelesbians, @the-nameless-legacy, @palepinkycat, @shanfamilydrama and @a-muirehen.

Had difficult time choosing a character, but decided to give Bal some facts (she hasn't told me much about herself up to this point, yet much remains a mystery). Since they all came in a short period of time, these facts are not going to be that specific, just something basic.

1. Bal'sara was born on Ryloth in a wealthy and influential family. She doesn't remember much of home or family, only that she had parents and two siblings, older brother and younger sister.

2. Her connection to the Force was discovered at age of 4. Parents knew what this meant, and while there was still war going on, they agreed to give Bal to the Jedi for training. Unlike my other consular, Bal never had a chance to meet her family again.

3. As a child, Bal has been told a lot of stories about the Jedi, mostly something like fairy tales about kind wizards who can heal people and throw rocks with just their mind. Basically, the Jedi were her favorite heroes of fictional stories (even though the Jedi themselves were not fictional) that she looked up to.

4. This lead to some disappointments - Jedi turned out to be more stoic and boring than she thought (can't blame her though), and masters trying to teach Bal'sara to be a classic Jedi only made her disobey rules more. It's been a long time until Bal'sara came to understanding that what training was actually pretty important, so she tried to follow it as much as she could. Still, even with life being more complicated than tales about noble heroes, Bal'sara strives to be one.

5. Love for fancy clothing came from childhood and only grew stronger with Bal's desire not to be a classic boring Jedi. She refused to wear simple robes and changed outfit at the first opportunity.

6. Figuring her form isn't easy. Bal'sara uses a double-bladed lightsaber (with changing it to a pike later), and as far as I understand not every form goes well with this weapon. Forms III, IV, V and VII seem to be pretty good for this weapon. The problem is, Bal'sara is kind of an elegant duelist with calculated strikes, mastered footwork, much like form II, but I don't imagine it goes well with double-bladed lightsaber. Then again, why wouldn't Bal'sara try to do exactly that? So as far as I'm concerned, Bal'sara utilizes form II in lightsaber combat and form III against multiple enemies and blaster fire.

7. Bal'sara's disappointment in fairy tale Jedi did not stop her from consuming everything in libraries about various Force powers and techniques. Of course she wasn't allowed to practice every technique (simply bc some of them are Dark Side powers), but her desire to utilize as many as possible is what led her to Consular's path.

8. As she didn't have much of that during her training (people had high expectations of her bc of her strong connection to the Force), Bal loves to spend some time with younglings and padawans to make their training a bit more fun, usually just letting kids be kids, throwing games and little friendly competitions for cool items or sweets she brought from other worlds.

9. Airistan was one of those padawans Bal took under her 'care'. As Airistan was not used to all Jedi stuff at all, Bal helped her get around and provided lightsaber practice and was just a member of the Order who seemed more like a normal person to Airistan. So this is where their friendship started, and together they brought a lot of headache to the Council.

10. And to end it on a fun note: no matter how strong with the Force she is and how hard she uses it to keep warm, Bal'sara cannot stand cold weather, so she's fully onboard with Felix about Hoth (also calling myself out for a very old ask i ended up not replying. sorry!).
