I've been hallucinating about making this video for a month, I finally did it 🙏

not my tweet but I thought it would be a good psa for artists here too

Oh this is a common scam I find at work. Any file that:

isn't jpg, jpeg, pdf, or png

Is a file extension you don't recognise (this one is a visual basic file, used for scripting, but others like exe or bat are used)

has a very low or unexpected file size (this one's is less than 1KB, or 0.001MB, a good reference should be at least 500KB)

Is likely a scam. Stay safe kids.

I had this thought a couple of weeks ago, before remembering it again just now: we don't truly know why the witches created cookies.

Of course, you may be inclined to say:

"Oh well, the witches wanted to make a cute dessert world filled with silly little cookies"

While this is partly true, based on how much the characters constantly question their intent, and it being a constant source of conflict within the narrative, I don't think that's gonna be the full story.

Now this isn't me saying the witch of light was secretly evil or something.What I am saying, despite her being a powerful witch, she was mostly human alongside the rest of the witches.Like the wizards, they are still flawed at heart as we can see the first's saga from WC.

.....And as we know from the first saga, mainly from their trailers, the human world is.....less than ideal at the moment. 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬

Things have gotten so bad, it caused the witch of light left her own kingdom due to it falling into corruption.So safe to say the human world is pretty shitty at the moment.

Which leads into my point, as we know based on how the current story is going the themes of nature/world being unfair is going to play more of a big role here in act 2.With shmilk, carrying themes of wanting control after being screwed over by this world.Similar to Dark enchantress cookie before she bit the dust.

So where am I going with this?Well, assuming this theme is going to continue, it's my belief that the witches made the cookie world for similar reasons...wanting control after being screwed over by the cruelty of the human world.

A clear example of this is first salt and first sugar, who were nearly burned at the stack after being protected by the witch of light from their mom's murderer(mind you,who was let freed after the jury found him innocent).That's why they are judges, never wanting injustice to happen ever again.

we know their beliefs are flawed, but those beliefs bleed into their creations:Silent Bum and Eternal Sugar.The same applying to the rest I am sure-

And of course, they aren't the only ones who suffered due the world, and wanting some type of control.

First grain never wanted anyone to go hungry again, First milk never wanted anyone to suffer again, First berry wanted to cling to the people who meant most to her, First Choco wanted strength to defend others, First sprinkle is just there First Sprinkle wanted to make people laugh, and I am sure that applies to the rest of the witches.

While these motivations are noble, they are still selfish, but that isn't a bad thing.After all humans are inherently selfish.What I am saying despite their different motivations.They wanted some control over in the world, but the world as we know is a bitch (especially in world of cookie run, which lead them to make a world.A fresh new start....but as we all know:History repeats itself.

The world of cookie run is wonderful but also very unfair as well.The beasts, their creations made to lead cookiekind, corrupted before getting sealed away(not by their own hands)...eventually DE came into the picture, with plans to overthrow the witches and yadda yadda.You know the whole deal.

To be clear I am not saying, this is all the witches' fault.What I am saying is that their plans of making cookie world was flawed from the start and was going to fail eventually.

So what does this mean for the future of the story?Well, we aren't sure how/when the firsts are gonna part but when they do I think it would be interesting see to them come to terms with what their world has become...but also their past lives as humans....It may take years, but I think eventually, we will end up in the human world....BUT HEY THAT'S JUST A THEORY!!A WITCHES' THEORY!!! THANKS FOR READING!!!

Zadr Fanchild for Irken Empire Collapse AU

Okay so I've decided they're getting their own post because I cannot ramble about her in the main posts without severely derailing the conversation (also if I go off topic no I didn't).

Her name is Dulce! After the Spanish word for sweet/candy (I absolutely love the canon fact that the Membranes are Mexican-American and will be adding tidbits of it into the lore when I get the chance (^v^). Zim and Dib settled on the name upon noticing how closely her eye color resembled the classic Dulce De Leche cream used in many Mexican desserts (even though the color would later clear up and become more of a gold color that resembled Dib's own eyes, they'd still stick with it because of it being a common enough Spanish name while still honoring Zim's heritage) .

She was born in the fall in October some 6 months after Zim and Dib found out they were expecting (and just a few months after they officially got together).

The pregnancy was very hard on Zim because unlike a "normal" Irken pregnancy, which lasts 3 months btw, she lasted longer because she grew to almost the size of a human newborn. Had she been a normal human she would have been considered a preemie.

Fun fact: Normal Irken pregnancies always result in an egg that needs to be cared for by the bearer for another month before the smeet hatches. Unfortunately for Zim that was not the case for Dulce. She came out in what would best be described as a variation of the human amniotic sac that quickly burst open as soon as Dulce left the womb. (I mean at least she waited to leave. Would have been very uncomfortable for Zim if it has ruptured while still inside of him).

Dulce took a very large toll on Zim's body. Both because pregnancy is a naturally hard thing for Irkens to experience. But also because his Pak couldn't decide whether or not she was a threat or an actual part of Zim's body. When it finally settled for "Not a Threat" it began diverting nutrients and energy towards Dulce in a way that left Zim feeling in bad shape. Whereas typically the Pak functions to keep Zim working at peak capacity (insane super healing, immunity to most diseases, super fast reflexes, energy regulation so that Irkens don't need to sleep) yeah all that goes away as the Pak goes into overdrive to keep both Zim and Dulce alive and growing. For the last remaining month Zim straight up cannot use his Pak at all, not even his Pak legs (It is a very miserable time for him, even if he gets extra snacks from Dib as compensation to keep his energy up for the pregnancy). Even after pregnancy it took Zim a while to get back to "normal"

Zim's body naturally produces a very sweet subtle pheromone, but it increased dramatically during and after the pregnancy which was meant to help soothe Dulce while in the womb and after she was born. It is a very sweet fruity scent that smells like a native plant of irk that faintly resembles a mixture of apples, pears and pineapples.

After his pregnancy he still smelled like his own natural phermones but with a hint of a caramel scent to him (Courtesy of Dulce. Having smeets permanently alters an Irkens scent profile) Dulce smells primarily like caramel with a bit of Zim's fruity scent, as well as, surprisingly enough, cinnamon (Which she gets from Dib. Zim and Dib hypothesize that after the whole 10 Minutes to Doom incident Dib's genes changed just enough to be compatible with Zim that he could reproduce with him as well as produce his own pheromone). Thus, the caramel scent is Ducle's own unique scent that she imprinted onto Zim because he carried her for so long. So she smells like a mixture of herself, and her parents.

Dulce is the first "natural" irken born in hundreds of thousands of years (which means she has no Pak!). After the Irkens turned to cloning, having natural children and family units in general fell out of fashion. Sex also fell out of favor after a time. You'd think with cloning being the main way of reproducing sexual organs would be done away with (and you'd be partly right) but an incident in the Irkens past led to the reintroduction of sexual organs as a precautionary measure against extinction (I think I'll make a separate post about this later. I've given this a lot of thought if I'm being honest) Modern day Irkens can have sex and reproduce, they're just unaware of it because that information is suppressed and the acts highly discouraged by the Control Brains.

On a slightly sad note, while Zim loves Dulce very much, sometimes he feels detached from her because he's never had parental figures of his own nor does his species encourage family bonds. He often doesn't know how to react to certain situations involving raising her. It's like he has all of the anxieties and instincts of parenting but he's unable to trust himself enough to make the right decisions. Not having any information on natural smeet raising (much less a half human irken hybrid) also makes him doubt his decisions. For this reason he often turns to Dib to make the first move regarding decisions about her health and well being. If Dib's not around he'll take charge, in quite possibly the most incorrect way (but things turn out more or less okay each time).

Fun fact! She has a cousin named Diego! Gaz got together with a gamer guy in her last year of highschool. The relationship...did not end well. She got pregnant and gave birth after graduating highschool and cutting contact with her trash ex boyfriend. While Gaz is a much better mother in the current times, she really struggled in the beginning with a newborn, she suffered from post partum depression which made her already standoffish personality worse. Dib naturally stepped in to help his sister and Zim tagged along to help because he and Gaz had developed a genuine friendship and mutual respect for each other by this point. Helping take care of a human baby, while icky and gross to Zim at times, awakened Zim's parental instincts and opened him up to the idea of having children around in the future (it mildly helped him calm down from the stress of having his own when he found out he was pregnant). Zim and Diego have a close relationship due to the fact Zim was around a lot and took care of him as a baby. He was estatic when he was told he would be getting a cousin at age 4. He was the ring bearer at Dib and Zim's wedding while Dulce was the flower girl. The two cousins are very close thanks to their parents making an effort to be in each other's lives.

As of the current timeline of the AU, Dulce is almost 3! She's still just a baby who's likes and dislikes change depending on her mood (and she makes sure everyone knows it). That said she likes her Papa (Zim), Daddy (Dib), cousin Diego (6), and Aunt Gaz. Jury's still out on Grandpa Membrane (She doesn't like how loud he is).

Dulce likes the color purple (mostly because her Papa likes purple so much). She also likes the color white, specifically in gloves and boots (this is because when she was flower girl at Zim and Dib's wedding she saw Zim wearing white gloves and boots alongside his wedding dress and thought her papa looked "absolutely beautiful!" And is now obsessed with wearing them as well so she can be "just as beautiful as her papa!".

Zim is really fashionable in his clothing while still managing to be very conservative due to his Irken upbringing demanding that everything below the neck be covered (and sometimes depending on the occupation even the neck and half of the face) which means that Dulce for the most part also gets dressed very conservatively. That means for the most part almost all of her limbs are covered up (the only reason she's ever not fully covered up is when Dib decides to dress her).

She's a big fan of fashion and clothes thanks to Zim as well.

Alright if you've reached the end of this long bullet list than you've earned the right to see what she looks like (This is not my art, it's my friend's work that would prefer to remain anonymous)
