U know… not to brag or anything but… I’m DEFINITELY on the path of becoming a wich I think and that’s awesome (the cool way not the dark enchantress kind of way)
Why I think Pitaya is ripping off Longan’s whole deal in the latest chapter! After all, out of all the things Pitaya Dragon Cookie would be concerned about, the fact that it’s this in particular is interesting
And I think the reason for this, and for its “Chaos Dragon” form’s behavior has 3 parts to it.
Most of the time, Pitaya Dragon Cookie is focused on having a good fight, and not much else, and while it’s sweet that they’re concerned about the other dragons, both the fact that this is on the forefront of its mind and the fact that Ananas Dragon’s update is literally next month at the time of writing this, it’s possible that Shadow Milk Cookie told them that he’s going to target the other dragons. That’s the first part of it for sure.
I don’t think Pitaya Dragon Cookie is acting the way they are simply because of that. My main theory, as the title suggests, is that through all of its struggles, they’re concerned the most about what is going to happen to Snapdragon Cookie.
After All, this is Snapdragon Cookie’s bio:
To paraphrase, the bio says that “a dragon will plunge the world into chaos” and imply that it’s Snapdragon, but it doesn’t say how. And Pitaya Dragon Cookie adores Snapdragon. Their immediate reaction to it hatching was, “What a sssweet little rassscal!”
In the kingdom conversation it has with Snapdragon, they refer to the idea they have as
“Ssso bold for a dragon who hasssn’t even grown ssscales yet!”
Given how much of the Ultimate Dough’s speech to corrupt Pitaya was about how “weak”, or “pathetic”, or “insignificant” they were while being bound by dragontongue, it would make sense that it would be worried about Snapdragon who, while they may be able to fly and travel, may not be able to protect themselves if Pitaya is chained up the way they are.
It would also make sense why, if it was cookies that brought them that pain, that it would want to get rid of cookies. Essentially saving their child and the other dragons from that kind of pain. It’s sparing them from the “greed” of cookies and ensuring that Snapdragon has a future where it can grow up safely.
But as the Ultimate Dough’s said, they’re “too weak” to do anything to help their fellow dragons. They’re in chains, bound by its own dragontongue and stuck in their Cookie form, being called Shadow Milk Cookie’s “pet” and being “made a spectacle.” They have to be stronger than they are now, and the way it acts around cookies, from the perspective of a dragon, is “weak”. So they have to be strong, act strong, and no dragon is stronger or more menacing than Longan Dragon. Protecting Snapdragon (and the others but mostly them) is the second part.
The third part is pretty much entirely the Ultimate Dough’s influence but to be more specific, it has to do with one word: Despair.
“All will tremble in dessspair! They will worssship the Legendary Greenisssh Red Dragon!”
That’s the last thing that the Ultimate Dough says to Pitaya Dragon before they fully corrupt, and it’s what SCooP says the Chaos Dragon “feeds off of.” But! I think that’s the nature of the Ultimate Dough in general. After all, Dark Enchantress Cookie wanted to throw Gingerbrave into total despair to make him the perfect vessel for the Ultimate Cookie. And it’s not just the cookies’ despair that the Ultimate Dough is feeding off of: it’s Pitaya Dragon’s too.
Not only did it attach itself to Pitaya Dragon at its lowest moment, but it is also making a concentrated effort to make sure Pitaya Dragon feels despair and stays in it because that’s how it can keep control.
In Ovenbreak, even before the Cookie Draconic War, Pitaya Dragon Cookie was always trying to piss Longan Dragon off. It constantly leaves and rebels against Longan Dragon. It moved away from the Tropical Soda Islands to claim their own home in the Dragon’s Valley. There was even a bonus scene in Ovenbreak during Draconis Immortalis that shows that Pitaya Dragon Cookie will literally try 100 times to defeat Longan. It’s clear that even if Cookies weren’t involved, Pitaya Dragon Cookie doesn’t like them.
The Ultimate Dough is influencing Pitaya Dragon Cookie, if not outright puppeteering it against their will, to act like Longan Dragon. That right there sounds like an absolute nightmare for Pitaya Dragon Cookie. Not only are they have they lost its agency, but they are being forced to mirror someone who they normally have to desire to mirror. The “Chaos Dragon” might be creating despair through the carnage and flames, but they’re also feeling it while it’s doing so.
A quick aside to add onto this, that’s also why I think “Chaos Dragon” decided that Hollyberry Cookie would make the perfect “First Sacrifice”. Whether it’s platonic, romantic, or any other form of love it’s still clear in some capacity Pitaya Dragon loves Hollyberry Cookie. She’s closer to it than anyone else is so her dying would crush them inside.
If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading!
TLDR:
Shadow Milk Cookie most likely told Pitaya Dragon Cookie that he was going to try and target the other dragons. Because of this, the Ultimate Dough is leveraging Pitaya Dragon Cookie’s fear for the other dragons’ safety, especially Snapdragon’s against them. This, plus the influence of the Ultimate Dough itself, is causing Pitaya Dragon Cookie to act like Longan Dragon in order to make them spiral into a pit of despair so that the Ultimate Dough can keep control over it.
this is a work in progress but i'm too tired to work on it rn so im posting an early wip
does anyone here like eternaltaya . its like THE rarepair of all time i've been obsessing over for the past week or so and i want to draw so much more for them
(my user in crk is eternaltaya in hollyberry server btw lol haha ha)
As much as we all hate Elder Custard Cookie (for valid reasons) I yearn to see what his back story is with his brother, Premier Custard Cream, because I just know for a FACT that these two have some unresolved trauma going on
Like I could see some bitterness with the fact either side decided to abandon each other during the Dark Flour War for their own reasons and how that affected one another
