What if Licorice Cookie tried to apply to one of the magic schools, like Parfaedia for example, and got rejected due to him being from the licorice tribe (and the magic they practice there).
And that this rejection is what led him to join the cookies of darkness.
Since it’s also shown that the Parfaedia institute is quite strict, this headcanon could be true (maybe)
Anyways I’m so happy we got to see licorice again in the new update
okay maybe it's just me and im probably cooking up a whole lot of nothing but to me it seems like licorice cookie seems almost hesitant in this update?
like even as he says his cool edgy line before releasing the licorice oozelings, it comes across as uncertain.
he's at the very least overwhelmed/exhausted or nauseous(?)
probably because it took everything out of him, using all his power. he says it himself it took a lot to even get the licorice oozelings over to the sea they're in. considering maybe a few months ago(idk the timeline here), he could only raise the licorice sea until dawn.
agar agar cookie even comments on how 'wobbly' he is, just like agar agar.
even with butter roll, licorice isn't complaining that broll used too much life powder, it feels like more he's cautiously asking. then again im pretty sure most of his interactions with broll are like that.
unless he's still very winded, his dialog still comes across as unsure to me?
it could be that he's just straight up afraid of dark enchantress now.
being recognized for his power is like a key point for his character. that's literally all he wants, to be recognized for his skill and greatness. that's the reason he wanted to become a wizard. he didn't get what he rightfully deserved and turned to the dark arts and black magic.
when DE compliments his hard work, he doesn't even react. in the past he tried very hard for her approval, like that was all he did. everything he was doing was because DE gave him approval, recognized him, and that was enough for him to join the COD.
we see him in the laboratorium update literally getting mad that DE praises poison mushroom and not him when he's the one doing all the dirty work cleaning.
at the very least i would expect a shot of him feeling proud of himself and his work. i can only assume it's been a while since he's gotten any praise from her so it would've been even more important to him.
but no, nothing.
i don't think licorice is second guessing DE's plans, or is going to join the good side. unless he's really wants to save himself. i think if the COD crashes and burns, he'll probably go down with it. maybe he's just a bit disillusioned with the whole 'war' thing going on idk.
but i think out of everyone in the cod, aside from pomegranate cookie because she was there to witness DE's transformation, he would know just how dangerous DE really is at this point, which could explain weariness.
i mean all of the cod probably do but he's the one who studied magic idk
or maybe im just yapping and this is nothing because licorice being cowardly is also a character trait and im digging way too deep
like yeah an equivalent of a god is right next to you, id be scared too
does make me wonder if DE ever told any of the COD about her transformation and what she was planning to do. probably not.
