Whether it's intentional or not, CRK writers have this weird habit of having the narrative validate their characters' unhealthy mindsets
Lily who was too ready to sacrifice herself and thought she deserved/needed to die in order to make up for her mistakes only for her to actually sacrifice herself for the happy ending as "character development"
Mystic Flour who thought that everything including her own life was meaningless after her power was taken advantage of by countless people finally "returns to flour" (in other words, dies)
Eternal Sugar who was so scared of the world outside of her garden to the point of borderline kidnapping people so they can be "happy" and "safe" with her gets set on fire, betrayed, and killed when she does finally step outside
Pure Vanilla who hated himself and thought he was a useless king who didn't deserve his title due to a mistake made during a traumatic event abdicates to show the audience his "humility" (despite the narrative never showing us that inequality was even a problem in his kingdom during his reign)
Burning Spice who sought out someone/something that could destroy him due to pure boredom with the repetition of the cycle of change actually gets destroyed (killed)
Silent Salt who thought that he deserved only the worst for losing his virtue and overall lost faith in cookiekind kills himself so his souljam wouldn't be exploited
Y'all are noticing the pattern, right?
