not optional of me, so people can get to know me better!

══════════════════────୨ৎ────═════════════════

first and foremost, my blog description is a filthy liar, and I don't 'draw sometimes', I draw a lot, but when it doesn't look like I want to, god forbid.

You can find all of the information about me by visiting my github, and from there, the various strawpages I have (though old and in need of serious updating), pronoun pages and some fun sites like atabook!

══════════════════────୨ৎ────═════════════════

Here, you can call me Schoko! You can use any pronouns you want on me, though I use feminine pronouns, I discovered I really don't mind others!

I'm an artist, writer and... that's about the extent of things I can do..

I kin espresso cookie, which also happens to be my favourite character!

I'm Italian, but I speak English fluently, to the point that's the only language I use online.

Seen the little green thing on the cover banner? That's my persona. No, she's not green because she ingested uranium, nor is she green at all: she's actually supposed to be pure white, but I like drawing her with a really funky lightning that, surpise surprise, makes her green...

This was her first ever design, which is also her current, considering I really liked her expression, and haven't been able to replicate it..

꒰ The uniform often makes people confused, considering that, upon posting her on other platform, she's been called a nazi. It's very important to me that you don't think that, she's just a shady tiger hybrid who coincidentially likes wearing uniforms. ꒱

This will probably get updated if I get any more ideas!

Can people on Ao3 start commenting with the undying and absolute devotion of Wattpad readers? I swear they come back to every paragraph to interact like they're IN the story, viewing it in front of their eyes. As someone who didn't have a Wattpad phase, this shit seems hella rewarding, I can only imagine the rush of joy those writers get. Ao3 people, come on, step up your game, we're a bit underfed for the amount of work we're getting done for free, ain't we.

been feeling absolutely terrible in the past few days but it's no excuse to miss weekly espresseleine

awwuwuhhh they're so cute

[smthleon]

I really don't know how else to make this post but this is just a firm reminder that I am not comfortable with minors trying to engage with me about what content I post for adults.

I've only had this issue in the Espresseleine community, so I will keep the ship tag in this post. But if you're a child please do not go onto my other platforms and comment things along the lines of "hmmm this art looks familiar" or, "I know what you draw"

It makes me uncomfortable and it makes me very concerned that it's children doing this. You should NEVER. Interact with an adult this way!! Please! You will be putting yourself in danger by doing this!!

Preach it brother 🙏

As a minor myself, boundaries exist for a reason and I'm tired of people just ignoring serious limits just because it's an age limit that isn't enforced in any way. They are often the same people that then find this type of content and complain that it's too suggestive, inappropriate or such. It's because YOU DON'T BELONG THERE, don't pretend you can't read or understand simple sentences.

If you see a sign saying "aggressive, rabid dogs beyond this fence, COULD maul you" but you see it as a personal challenge because "no fence can tell me what to do!" and do end up harmed or dead, well, the sign was there, wasn't it?

I've never got this EXTREME need for people (children and young teens in this case) to force themselves into spaces they don't belong. You guys have to accept that there are limits, and that you can't go everywhere, anytime you like. Nobody HAS TO make sure YOU, little speck of dust in the vast, vast internet, have access to every single piece of media or content because otherwise it's 'mean'. Boundaries are the simplest thing: if ___, enter, if not, do not enter. It's not that hard, you'll live perfectly fine and sleep soundly every night.

I would just love if there were an official silly sign right h-

2P espresseleine deserves way more recognition, I hardly see any content about them, and when I do, either nothing changed or their personalities are weirdly exaggerated. I need more serious, stuck-up knight x joyful unserious scientist in my life.

since the 1890's there has been the common misconception (and most still believe so) that humans use only 10% of their brain.

This has been proven false not by MRI scans but this statement above. Scientists started believing the human brain was at his full potential right here. Would someone who used only 10% of their brain be able to form such a complex, beautiful thought?

Didn't think so.

Just a little doodle I made on a strawpage, if only there were more tools..

Young Arthur will never not be on my mind

[schokosarchive]

The dead can't be offended.

Mini comic I made today (and I'll definitely color some other day..) I reread Odyseey ch. 2 from head to toe and apparently Espresso cookie visits Seaweed cookie to 'gather some material'.

She buries people, I wonder what's there to take from her huh..

They should've arrested him for other reasons

Racism is so common in the CRK fandom and I'm done being quiet about it. It is an actual problem so I will use my minor social media presence to talk about it.

We can agree that the rep in crk (crob and toa aside I do not speak for those communities) is pretty great! With characters having a wide range of skintones, body types (despite the cartoony art style) and implied queer realitionships and a lot of gender non confirming/non-binary characters there's really nothing to nitpick or complain about.

So tell my WHY is there so many people whitewashing the characters? I cannot go up on social media without seeing a character with a darker skintone looking GREY or WHITE. Then the "excuse" is that these are cookies and don't have a race. Except that these cookies you're talking about are living breathing creatures and the kingdoms and places they are from are very obviously based on real places. The Dark Cacao Kingdom being based on Korean Peninsula, the Golden Cheese Kingdom being based on Egypt and the creators as far as I'm concerned have been very open and obvious about these references. These cookies and kingdoms represent real life people and places. So that's where that "excuse" falls flat.

These characters don't have a canon ethnic backgrounds other than the places they're from and the skintone they have. The thing is you have creative liberty with what kind of features you give them AS LONG AS YOU KEEP THE SKINTONE THE SAME. Their skintone or "dough color" is one of the most important features they have and CRK has been really creative with skintones and most cookies who have darker "dough colors" also have rich, warm lively looking skintones. We need to treasure that in a gacha game where the competition and often norm is Whitewasher 3000 AKA Genshin Impact. If you're a digital artist there is no fucking reason why you can't just color pick from reference to honor the characters original skintone? Or to stay in the warm area of skintones and not make it desaturated?? At least?? Like do the bare fucking minimum?? I used to PAINT crk chatacters with traditional WATERCOLOR. Mixing skintones was a living hell and then after I spent 30 minutes trying to mix the perfect skintone I go online to see some of you mother fuckers be too lazy to import a fucking reference imagie to color pick from and DELIBERATELY whitewashing the characters.

SHAME ON YOU. SHAME ON YOU IF YOU DO THIS.

And then we have the other side of the same coin where white cosplayers paint their skin black and then refuse to listen to people saying that this is bad and then the situation getting so big that it reaches cosplayers out of the community!! So now the CRK fandom is known for insensitive people painting their skin black for a cosplay in the cosplay community!! Isn't that just fucking great??? And I still see people reposting that cosplay and people in the comment being like "cool cosplay!!" like are we fucking for real??

As a person who grew up in a mainly white area with very little POC around being Russian and being in the same situation is NO EXCUSE!! You have access to the internet there is a lot of people telling you exactly what to do and what not to do. Black cosplayers telling you why it sucks EDUCATE YOURSELF.

Oh you think queer/non-binary rep is safe? Absolutely not. When Venom Dough Cookie came out the first job of people was trying to guess their gender and whether they were "AFAB" or "AMAB" and I still saw a fanart on this app of a person drawing them with huge boobs. Because we just can't let non-binary people be gender non-confirming and let a fictional character be completely androgynous.

I've seen people "headcanoning" Strawberry Crepe with he/him pronouns and referring to the korean wiki saying that in the korean wiki, they used "he/him" pronouns and when I told them that Korean and English are very different language wise it turned out they didn't speak Korean at all!! How cool!! They just wanted a reason to put Strawberry Crepe into the gender binary how nice of them.

And then the queer couples aren't safe either because there will always be people who disregard Eternal Sugar's obvious attraction to a woman that she STATES IN CANON MIND YOU and ship her with a man. I'm not saying she can only be attracted to woman but gosh darn you sure jumped on this opportunity to ship a woman who states that she's attracted to another woman with a man instead really fast! I'm sure that doesn't say anything about your personal beliefs and preferences at all.

And then I didn't even talk about how the fandom's hatred towards White Lily is very obviously rooted in misogyny how that the women characters are much much more scrutinized or overlooked than their male counterparts, like White Lily gets so much hate for doing the wrong things even with well intent. She's not allowed to make mistakes, to be flawed, and to feel guilt for it—to be human (in a cookie sense)—yet Shadow Milk can get a pass for being tragic or misunderstood while doing much much worse will ill intent. Don't get me STARTED on how awful the fandom can get about ships and how the ship wars result in horrendous bullying, doxing, and how horrible the community can get to just exist in. Obviously not all players are like this and I'd still say that all things considered the community can still be a great place if you find the right side of things but we can't fucking exist one day without tearing each other down over dumb shit like ships.

We HAVE to do better. We have to be kinder, not racist, not homophobic, not transphobic, not misogynistic just act like normal people. Please omg I don't wanna be represented by these deranged individuals normal nice Cookie Run Kingdom fans help me out here-
