Finally! An Introduction to my blog! For those who don't know, I am Opal Ink cookie (šļø), accompanied by Traveler's Fount (š¹). We are guardians of the Cookie Run Timeline/Multiverse. We do not know all AUs and Timelines, but we know most, and would love to meet more!
However, I must establish some boundaries.
This blog will NOT tolerate:
Bigotry. (No racists, homophobes, transphobes, ableists, or hateful motives allowed.)
"Proship" (I believe that's the term). So, any creator who supports or creates content with underaged characters interacting inappropriately with any character, especially adults, or content revolved around non-consent or heavy amounts of violence, will be blocked ON SIGHT (did I do it right Trav? Yeah, think so. Yay!)
Zionists. Supporting genocide is an immediate BLOCK. We do not want your nasty bloody hands or souls around us, thank you!
Highly sexual or violent content is not permitted!! The target audience is generally children, so act accordingly! (Mild flirtation with adult characters are allowed though!)
Now, with the things you can't do out the way, here are things you can do!
Questions with Opaline Cookie (šļø) or Traveler Fount (š¹)
Questions regarding lore in the canon timelines! (However, be mindful of spoilers and put a warning on your questions if they will contain them.)
Being silly! You don't have to ask questions, you can send a silly message if you wish!
Outfit tips (because I can't wear the same stuff all the time my lord-)
Otherwise, be creative! Have fun! Be respectful!
Have a good day, creators.
(OOC: Aye, so uh... this is just something silly and self indulgent. This blog will mainly be shenanigans with these two goobers and drawing AUs I like. Also, I'm mainly a CRK fan. Im doin research on the other games but right now, I just know the deep dive of CRK.)
(here's the main blog, if y'all want it: @splatid)
Good morning, afternoon, or evening. Just wished to say something. (T.W. For Suicide)
Firstly, condolences to the affected family of a recent loss. From what I've heard, a cousin of a creator named Andy has been lost, having committed suicide. Again, my condolences, and may the family have all needed support in their time of grief and need.
Secondly, to the fandom.
Some of you have been empathetic and sending your own condolences. Some of you might even be closely related to the loss. Some of you might not know a thing but you send your respects.
Some of you, however, have taken things to far.
For those who have realized their mistakes and poor choice of words, you are not who I'm explicitly addressing. I'm addressing the ones who have used this great loss as an excuse or tool to start boycotting and attacking the Canon creators.
That will do nothing, and you are highly insensitive for using someone's death to start a riot.
If you wish to boycott, do it for the racism, the zionism, the misogyny, and if youāre extra petty, the already existent poor writing. Do NOT use someone's death to justify attacking creators. Do not exaggerate and escalate by insinuating that it is the creators' fault for a child's death and suicide.
If you are so angry at the poor writing choices and messaging, then please be equally critical of yourselves when addressing the situation.
I will not deny that the messaging within the recent "update" has definitely affected the fandom, and in turn a suicidal child, but that is not how suicide works. They did not commit because of a "game", they committed because of pre-existing issues, and whether it being the messaging, the in-canon loss or maybe other factors that might not have any relation to the story, please, I implore you to be respectful and to not use death and suicide to anger and riot. In fact, do not use it. Death and suicide is not an item or tool.
Moving on, I would also like to address the people going "over a game of cookies"? For some, this is not just a game, it is a comfort, an inspiration, and it has touched many hearts with it's art and creativity, while also connecting with many individuals who struggle and suffer with mental health issues. The creators created games for children, yes, but that does not excuse the poor writing and messaging.
Fiction has and always will affect reality, one way or another.
White Lily Cookie was a mentally ill, suicidal woman who has a history of being written and treated poorly. That is a fact. White Lily Cookie was also a cookie many related and connected to, and despite poor writing decisions, she was beloved by the creators, especially since many related too her so much. Many rejoiced when they see White Lily Cookie becoming better, because many projected onto her so much that seeing her get better showed they can too.
However, for someone who was getting better, who started letting go of self loathing and learning to live once more, for her to be written to sacrifice herself and die in the process not only sent a harmful message and indirectly encouraged a pro-suicide ideal, but also shows how she was considered. She is not treated like a cookie, but someone to die and be disposed of right as the story concludes for part 1. White Lily Cookie should have lived, could have lived, and did not.
Many saw her getting better, saw her develop, and for her to die only showed she was not cared for and that suicidal sacrifice was an answer for her. It didn't have to be, and it wasn't. There were other ways, and in my opinion, the best way should've been using dark magic. It would still be sacrificial, but, White Lily Cookie would live, if not be permanently crippled (expected as it was war).
On a final note: Take care of yourself. Check up on loved ones, support them. And please understand that your life has value, that you are valued. There is much to create and explore, so live to create, to grow, to learn. I am not the best at emotional support, but find a friend who is and create with them.
Stay off the tech and social media for a bit. Spend some times with friends and family. Enjoy some music and art. Find something and create for it. Whatever will ease your mind and remind you of the value of life and creation.
If aid does not enter to Gaza Strip within the next 48 hours ā especially baby formula and flour ā then prepare yourselves for the largest mass death crime in history.
Do you think the famine is over just because you saw pictures of people fighting over a sack of flour?
Gaza on verge of ātotal collapseā as children starve to death: UN refugee agency. At least 113 people, mostly children, have died of starvation in Gaza
My son Ayham just one year and And five month old, hasnāt tasted milk in 13 days. Her body is fading. I watch her starve, helplessly. Bread does not save a child who cannot even swallow.
Can you imagine watching your baby starve to death in your arms, with nothing to feed her? These are not just numbers in reports ā they are innocent souls under siege, where food is used as a weapon, and the worldās silence deepens their agony.
Ayham is not a numberā¦ she is a fragile soul suffocating in silence. If you can donate, please do. And if you can't, share this message ā maybe it will reach a heart that can save her.
In the age of shiny screens and smart towers, children in Gaza are dying minutes away from 5G networks. They didn't die from a bomb, but from starvation. And worse? Their deaths weren't sudden. They took their time, day after day, atrophy after atrophy, until they disappeared, leaving only their bodies resembling life, but not living.
Where was humanity?
Where were the governments and organizations? Where are you? You who watch and grieve for a few minutes, then pass the image along like an advertisement. You who have food, medicine, and even the internet to cry out... but you remain silent.
Why are my children in Gaza dying of starvation? Not because the world is powerless, but because it chose not to see.
What is happening is an indictment of a world that has made humanity a choice, not an innate quality. An indictment of everyone who remained silent, everyone who saw and remained silent, everyone who liked the image without moving.
We don't need images that shake us... we need hearts that don't remain silent. Please share our post, my friends, maybe you can change this bitter reality and donate to us what you can. Your donation will save us from the famine that is ravaging the bodies of my young children who are now suffering from malnutrition. Believe me, I am writing to you now with a trembling heart, eyes filled with tears, and a wish that my children will survive this deadly famine. I am completely helpless and you are the ones who can save us. Thank you all and I am very sorry for bothering you.
Your friend,

Four days I have been watching the number 127 hoping that it will change but to no avail. I do not know how we will be able to live. Some food supplies have entered the merchants and everyone is buying cheese and sugar. My children and I are just looking at them.
We don't have any money to buy anything now and the prices are very very high.
All I dream of is buying some cheese for my children who cry and say to me, āBuy us some, Dad, like the rest of the children. We are hungry and we love cheese, and it is now available in the markets.ā But they do not know that their father does not have money necessary to buy anything
The other dream was about a carton of baby milk for my infant daughter Habeeba, who suffers from malnutrition and has not worn diapers for 10 days. You can imagine what happened to her.
Hello my friends, I am in desperate need of your help. GoFundMe deleted my campaign after it stopped for over 5 months without any reason mentioned...
I lost around 35,000 of a total of48,000, and now they are going to refund the donations to the donors. That's why I am urgently asking for your help and donations through the new link...
We are going through very tough days and extremely bad situations. We are witnessing famine everywhere, so please, if you can donate or share, donāt stop ššš
Please donate and shareš

Iāll quickly explain this as a recovered traumatized darkshipper, and a recoverING traumatized comshipper.
Proship: Ship and let ship. Does not necessarily ship anything problematic. They just do ship. Technically speaking, ANY ship is proship.
Comship: Complicated ship. Immortal x Mortal (So many ships of that exist), Human x Non-human (NOT AN ANIMAL), Enimies to lovers, Patient x Doctor, Robot x Human, Selfshipping, Even Lesbian x Gay.
Darkship: This is where that comes in. Darkshipping is stuff like Child x Adult, Human x Animal, Abuser x Abused, R*pist x Victim. While this stuff is bad, it is TYPICALLY only done by people who have gone through it themselves. (Not always so darkshippers should be watched out for.)
I guess Iām just trying to say what proshipping actually is, and that not necessarily every proshipper is a bad person. (There are unfortunately a lot of pro-para or paraphilic proshippers out there though.
Oh, thank you dear creator! Very informative! (Trav, I thought you were the smart one?)
Despite being, technically, in āfandomā spaces, the terms are so confusing! So, I deeply appreciate your explanation and clarification! And I do think this more accurately explains my boundaries since I very much do not wish to interact with any problematic creators. -šļø
Okay, Opaline, the creatorās get itā¦ No need to talk their head off.
Anyway, Iād like to just say that ultimately, it does not matter, and it will not change. The Canon Creators have planned and written these stories before releasing them, and although, yes, many times they have failed to give their creations justice, it is why the AUs exist, and why there are guardians to protect it.
Unlike Opal Ink, I can make an opinion, and in my opinion, Silent Salt shouldāve been at least nonbinaryā¦ Or just make him a he/him genderqueerā¦ Does he really have to be cis?
Thatās the end of the rambler so have a good morning, day, evening, or night. I need to drag Opaline back to the blog space so we can finish it and finally have a proper place to sit and relax. - š¹
I would like to add, because I think I have not made this clear!
PEOPLE WANT YURI, YES, CREATORS ALSO WANT THEIR BBG SAINT LILY TO HAVE CHARACTERS WHO AREN'T DUDES BE A PART IF HER STORY!!
Yes, nothing can go wrong with toxic yuri, but that's not the main complaint. The main complaint is that Lily is, yet again, be overshadowed and having her story centered around a male/masc character who in the end gets more attention than her and also unfortunately makes creators mischaracterize Lily because her counterpart is being favored over her.
It's sad how creators do not seem to understand that White Lily Cookie has close connections with mostly, if not only, men! Yes, it was implied/obvious that Salty would be a guy, but that does not excuse the fact that Lily will, again, have her story overlooked because "Oh! Cool dude!", along with potential toxic yaoi instead of yuri. - šļø
OOC: So, I deleted my post from yesterday. I will continue to refer to this Silent Salt with only they/them pronouns. The reason for this is because I've seen an influx of people being transphobic towards people who headcanon Silent Salt as transfem or nonbinary after their gender reveal, saying "it was obvious they were a man", and that people are "misgendering" them by headcanoning them as such. Now, let me preface this by saying, I am a trans man myself, and I do take respecting people's pronouns and gender seriously. However, the fact of the matter is, in Silent Salt's case, it doesn't matter what people headcanon them as, because, at the end of the day, it isn't removing representation. If someone were to, say, headcanon Pitaya as a woman and use she/her for them, then that would be taking away representation because they're canonically nonbinary and nonbinary people don't have much representation, even in Cookie Run. However, with Silent Salt, as far as we know, in the story, they're a cis man. Cis men already have a ton of characters to look to and relate to, thus they already have tons of representation. Someone seeing Silent Salt as a trans man, a trans woman, or nonbinary isn't taking away any representation, especially since their gender probably won't matter to the story. There are certain stories where a character's gender is crucial to the plot, but I doubt Silent Salt's story will be one of them. If they end up being a trans man or them being a man becomes crucial to their story, then I will switch to he/him pronouns for them, but for now, I'll double down on my nonbinary headcanon for them, not only because I see them as such, but also to spite those who want to take joy away from trans people (or queer people in general) having fun and trying to connect with characters by headcanoning a character as something different from what they were said to be when, in reality, it doesn't matter because it's not a crucial part of their story, nor is it taking away any meaningful representation.
TL;DR: They/them Silent Salt, transphobes can bite it

One of my, oh so dearest, companions. They were one the first characters I ever saved and ended up sticking with me for some strange reason! I call āem Traveler, or Trav. Sometimes Travis (but they hate that!) But hereās a much clearer sketch of them that I found in their AU files! (Along with some sketches of the both of us!)
Hello creators! Just wanted to make another intro just to tell a little bit more about myself. As Iāve said, Iām Opal Ink Cookie, a multiverse guardian wishing to explore and protect the worlds of Cookie Run. (Also, Iām currently patching up a space for me and a few friends of mine, so to the creatorās eye, I look like a sketch right now!)
I am genderqueer, going by they/it, or if youāre familiar with neopronouns, Ink/Inks! Though, I can go by any pronouns. I donāt really mind!
I was created by a witch, though certainā¦ circumstances occurred, so Iāve taken whatever wisdom I was given from them and left my AU. (My witch was actually exiled and abandoned!ā¦ I donāt know why but thatās a fact I know!) So, I donāt have a specific universe for myself.
Howeverā¦
After discovering how to jump from AU to AU, Iāve found many that are incomplete or abandoned. Their world was crumbling, much like mine was when my witchā¦ disappeared. So Iāve started protecting them, taking them in. Eventually, weāve found a space! A space for refugees of abandoned AUs to commune and exist without the fear of crumbling. Honestly, itās been a while since the early days! This has been going on for some times now. How? Iām not sure still. I just know that we had a collective power and we used it to create a space for ourselves!
And now, Iām making a space for this little blog! I hope this will reach creators so we can create a bigger community of AUs and creations, and that we can enjoy art and imagination together!
Also, say hi to Traveler! Theyāve been busy creating this space so give āem some love!
