verystupidandgay was something I came up with on a whim, and it’s pretty self explanatory. I’m horrible at coming up with usernames so I’m not really attached to this one
Neurodivergent frog is a much more interesting story. At one point, I think I was in seventh grade, I was trying to explain an aspect of our schools system for choosing electives to my friends. I said “advanced frog cosplay” as an example for a class. @anti-joesystem fucking lost it and it ended up becoming an inside joke. There was a small group of people including them and I who would go to hang out in a specific teacher’s classroom before school started, which we named advanced frog cosplay. So when it came time to make a discord profile, rust was helping me and I made my user allude to advanced frog cosplay (not gonna give the exact one). I made my display name the first half-decent shortening I thought of, aka NeurodivergentFrog. So yeah. That’s that.

Mildly irritiating to me that the fandom doesn't seem to grasp that Pure Vanilla is spiraling and falling deep into a chasm of survivor's guilt that is only made worse by his savoir complex and instead seem to genuinely believe that he actually IS responsible for the decisions and actions that White Lily and Shadow Milk made. Lots of people seem to be missing the fact that he's so stuck in his head because of his grief and self loathing and trying to figure out what he could have done differently in order to save them that he's just not ready to accept that fact that nothing he could have said or done would have changed what White Lily or Shadow Milk chose to do for the better. They were both caught in their own pains and obsessions and refused to listen to anyone else and people pushing the idea that if Pure Vanilla had done this or that instead are incredibly demeaning towards all three characters and the complexities of their characters and individual suffering.
Tw: someone else's opinion (genuinely please don't read this if you're going to argue with me in the comments about my opinion on PV and WL)
So uhhh
How's it going guys???
Before I say anything first can we talk about how locked in all the voice actors were?? Like ofc they're all incredible but this episode specifically felt so GOOD. Like, at the end, you can hear the bitterness and anger and confusion in Pure Vanilla Cookie's voice and it was so powerful holyyy. And White Lily Cookie's anguish???? AHHH
Anyway now on to storyyy. I was smiling so hard when Pure Vanilla Cookie put up that barrier because, yes, finally pookie, show us that other side to you! Show us that desperate and determined Pure Vanilla Cookie! And I was so happy getting to finally see how the Academy genocide had happened, because I'd been planning fanfics and theories since I'd started playing (August 2022) and now finally we get a canon version of what happened!!!! I would talk about the reveal of SMC being the headmaster but honestly that was such a widely believed fan theory anyway that it didn't surprise me much. Nether Queen Cookie was also interesting to see, love her design and personality, I wonder how she'll behave knowing that Pure Vanilla Cookie crossed over into Tartrus. It's kinda hard to pinpoint whether she'd be angry or amused.
So for some theories I have regarding how next episode will go. Personally I'm hoping they don't bring White Lily Cookie back, just for the selfish reason that a lot of character deaths these days end up getting retconned and undone anyway, which makes the impact of the death less (speaking from a person also in the Ninjago fandom). So, my current favorite theory is that Pure Vanilla Cookie and White Lily Cookie will reunite, talk, get all the understanding and words not said out of the way, and then WL takes the Nether Queen's Throne and Pure Vanilla Cookie goes back to Earthbread. Honestly the writers putting that successor idea into the lore is kinda making me think this is the route they'll go, but it remains to be seen.
If WL is indeed coming back to life, then I'm hoping it goes something like this: the Nether Queen gives me vibes that she'd give them a challenge, maybe something to see if they truly understand each other or not. And then bam, Orpheus and Eurydice but good ending. They've been doing a lot of symbolism with that myth and personally I love callbacks to old tales so this would also be really fun.
One thing I was thinking about this morning is that while Pure Vanilla Cookie is determined to get her back, what about White Lily Cookie? She achieved freedom for all of Cookiekind before she died. She was happy, she was enlightened, so would she want to return? I mean, it could be argued that a person like her, who has such love for the world, would always want to go back and experience it for longer. Wait actually this is making me think about how Student WL kept saying that there was so much she wanted to do and experience before she died. So perchance WL would want to come back...
Anyway this is all rambles and theory at the end of the day. Anyone else got any other theories??
Please Devsis do NOT screw this up I need this in my life but I need it well written and not bs PLEASE
Also I see so many people comparing them to Orpheus and Eurydice and I SWEAR TO THE WITCHES IF THEY PULL A "HE LOOKS BACK" AND LOSES HER AGAIN I DON'T THINK MY BODY WILL BE ABLE TO PHYSICALLY CONTAIN THE EMOTIONS THAT WILL FLOOD ME AND I WILL SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST
honestly I think I'll combust even if everything goes well because OH MY GOSH THE REACHING OUT TO EACH OTHER IN ALL THE OFFICIAL ART??? AHHHHH
Unrelated but the Nether Queen is so diva, so slay, I love her design
Coco, the Brim Hat Witch
Spoiler tagged since it does show some stuff from the manga..but her brimmed cap outfit is so awesome, I thought it'd be a great contrast to my other illustration of Coco surrounded by her loved ones🥺
HAPPY PRIDE TO THE TUMBLR POPULATION, AND ESPECIALLY TO OUR LOVELY MOOTS! You’re all such wonderful and kind beings, and you deserve to feel pride for yourselves.
and of course, this post wouldn’t be complete without shouting out my perfect queerplatonic partners, @seaturtlemer and @inkfromaghost. You both mean the world to me, and I look forward to terrorizing the school with consensual and non-boundary crossing PDA tomorrow /silly. [insert city name] ain’t ready for us!
