geulppp here is my fyodor analysis and how i think he would renspond to 15zai
i posted this on Pinterest too but guess what! it got hidden 🤣🤣🤣 kms i spend so long tryna make this, the analysation was the easiest part. FINDING THE MANGA PANELS WAS NOT.
+ oh also i think he would comment on the "it seems miscalculations are not always a bad thing" imo, he would agree with that. Miscalculations would be sins for him, and aslong as anyone goes back to their goal, their sins can be forgiven and forgotten. Because not every sin is bad
maybe i’m being ‘biased’ here but mizu’s backstory is the most heartbreaking and tragic ones I’ve ever heard. (spoilers for whole season!)
1. been alienated as an outcast, some creature to be hidden away from world’s view and hit if she misbehaves even if it’s just merely looking out her hut.
2. constantly in fear of the men who are hunting her down and would not hesitate to slaughter her if she is seen outside
3. after her mother perishes in a fire, she is left feeling overwhelmed with shame and remorse for being the reason for her death.
4. she was left to salvage and survive at such a young age only to be targeted and tormented relentlessly.
5. despite being well taken care of by master eiji, she has never once been able to enjoy herself or be carefree.
6. then, she sacrifices her vow—along with so much effort and hard work at sparring for that goal—and becomes devoted to her marriage; a short-term happiness before she was referred to as a monster because of who she is + guards ordered to kill her as her mother and husband play the blame game.
7. slowly but surely, she embraces her femininity, a part of her that she’s concealed from the world for so long
8. eventually, she realizes that she had always been just a money maker for her ‘mother’, pushed aside until she was worth the money to come back to.
it’s all damn depressing when you consider that she has dealt with racism, betrayal, isolation, developed trust issues, becoming almost completely numb and realizing that she has never truly mattered to anyone. only god knows how much worse things will get for her when she gets to london and is forced to mask her very distinct japanese features as well…
Mini Character Analysation of any potential EggMisu because I miss them:
Last post was about MangoNanas headcanons, and right before the headcanons I mentioned a ship name for the two of them that’s reflecting on their T/B dynamic. I did the same thing with EggMisu, but I was much more successful with it haha. The alternate ‘better sounding’ name for EggMisu could be TiraNog, but I think they’re both fine! I’ll be using EggMisu.
Anyway, Eggnog and Tiramisu’s relationship could really develop in a ton of ways. Many of them I see never being official, others I see being one sided, and complicated…
I want to talk about them a bit, specifically the unofficial, unreciprocated, and complicated ones.
For the “Unofficial”, to me I more or less see it as attraction being present, however they aren’t doing anything about it.
Eggnog really cares about Tiramisu, he’s proud to have successfully gotten the kid to warm up to him and he’s glad the two of them are such good partners. They work well together despite their opposing personalities and preferences in work flow. Eggnog is glad to have Tiramisu Cookie as both a coworker and as a friend. Which is why his positive emotions start to get the better of him and he starts viewing the kid in a different way. A more romantic way.
Tiramisu is a major grump when things don’t go his way, he finds Eggnog infuriating when he doesn’t outright acknowledge Tiramisu’s protests or requests, but he doesn’t hate the guy. He really likes him actually, he appreciates the effort Eggnog puts into their relationship and to Tira it really does seem like Eggnog knows just what to do when things get tough. When Eggnog makes a mistake, he corrects himself right away, quick to making a better decision. When Tiramisu makes a mistake, Eggnog is quick to forgive him, to reassure him that things happen and all you can do now is learn from it to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Tiramisu really likes him, maybe sometimes even more than just a good friend.
But that’s weird though; to both of them. Tiramisu is just a train conductor, a young one at that, and Eggnog is fucking Santa Claus. Their relationship cannot go past a friendship level, it feels wrong and it’s frankly immoral, so they have no reason to bring it up to each other. It would only cause problems.
But, regardless, their eyes continue to linger on each other for a bit too long… Their conversations trail on to the littlest of things just to hear each others voices for a moment more… Their once-in-a-while hugs are held onto for a tad too many seconds… But they can’t bring it up, they shouldn’t bring it up. It just causes problems.
They’re just coworkers, and really good friends.
For the “Unnreciprocated”, the attraction is at the hands of either or. I’m more focused on the attraction coming from Eggnog’s side simply because I feel like negative emotions could be stronger (it that makes sense lol i like angst :v) , but attraction from Tiramisu’s side will definitely also be a little disheartening.
For Eggnog, the kid really is one of kind for him. He isn’t really sure when he’s ever felt such affection and connection to another cookie. He can’t think of any friends who he’s cared for on such a deep level, and although he loves his family with all his heart the care for him doesn’t at all amount to the care and adoration he has for that little reindeer… That little train conductor kid Tiramisu.
He feels like he probably shouldn’t be thinking of this. Tiramisu is a young kid, and Eggnog feels like he’ll just get in the way of the kids development. He doesn’t want to disturb Tiramisu’s maturing process, since trying to involve himself in any way past a work or friendship level could really throw the kid off and he may accidentally have Tiramisu depend on him too much. Also, Tiramisu probably doesn’t even feel the same way. If anything; Eggnog may just be a good pal to him.
And he would be right.
For the “Complicated”, it‘s more or less the Unofficial but with extra steps… and those extra steps are dirty and dark.
Eggnog and Tiramisu have finally told each other, they had their heart to heart and they finally let all their sugar rip from their bags into their bowl, but at what cost?
They can’t do anything else from here. A relationship farther from this is a slippery path to go down, and even admitting their feelings was a tough rope to walk on. It simply isn’t just the societal standards, it’s also both cookies sense of moral. Eggnog letting himself get this far with his feelings for this kid leave him dreaded, sort of like the same worries he had in the “Unreciprocated” hc.
Tiramisu is worried that if anyone catches on, their relationship will be disrupted. He knows that there’s certainly cookies who would disapprove (if not everyone), and he doesn’t want to risk anything bad happening to him or Eggnog if the knowledge of their relationship fell into the lap of someone who’d want to see them apart. Tira knows they probably shouldn’t be doing this in the first place, but he wants the freedom to care for who he wants to care for, regardless of who it is.
They can certainly get a bit closer in private, maybe set up dates to remote areas to spend more time together, but it’ll still all feel so wrong.
Because it is.
That’s all! Of course there’s a million ways to view these two, and a million different altering paths their relationship could go down, but I don’t have the time or energy to fit it all in this one Tumblr post anyway… (Even if I’d very much love to.)
I think that the complicatedness of their relationship is wonderful and it should really be considered and explored. I think no matter how you look at these two, whether it be the sweetest and purest interpretation of any relationship they could have, there will always be a tidbit that sticks out… It’s just the nature of their differing personalities and how they clash.
I spent a lot of time on this single post, and if I’ll be honest I had it sitting in my drafts since Christmas… It was fun to write and I loved thinking about these two for so long. It also gave me a few fic ideas too, not sure if I’ll ever get to them.
If anyone read this all thank you! I hope it was insightful and thought provoking… \(o^..^)
i caught something in dreamweaver cookies sprite art during my daily 15 minutes of dreamweaver appreciation and i thought i might post this here.
but basically, it’s a design error.
the torso of dreamweaver’s normal sprite looks like this. his cloak covers a good part of his waist and his hips so to anyone it looks like a belt or the end of a shirt…
ahem, so…
we know now that this is ACTUALLY a crescent. downturned, with a sphere. it’s shown in his cutscene art.
however… in dreamweaver’s story sprites, it seems the artist may have gotten a bit mixed up…
in his sad and nervous sprites, it’s turned up to be a waxing crescent. so this makes me think; either the people in charge of the cutscene art messed up, or the cutscene sprite artist messed up. but i’m not even done here because in his gameplay sprites we have the same issue:
that boy has a downturned crescent here too! what the hell? who was the one that messed up, and what is the original design???
and i want to say that it could’ve just been a copy-paste error done with his cutscene sprites, since his default sprite has his torso tilted in a specific way that when drawn in other positions the design of his torso looks like a waxed crescent, but those two sprites seemed to have the crescent drawn on manually. so what the hell? LOL
i really love the cookie run super epic costumes that give the characters different personalities.
most recently, dreamweaver’s costume (although not noticeable) does give him a bit of a personality change. or at least, demeanour? if that makes sense…
he’s normally very cheery, bright, and kinda calm. his costume though really makes him seem like the god he is… he’s much more solemn, relaxed, and much more serious (to me)… he’s still got that bright little side of him (or maybe that’s just his cuteness) (i’m kidding, look at the sprites) but it’s a lot more masked. or maybe that’s just his friendliness.
Ya know….
I don’t think there are enough dingbat posts over analysing every single song or culture reference these days. I just wish there were more idgits finding reasons to pout their lip about some people’s expression of creativity and life experiences. Songs about fluid sexuality described in such a way that doesn’t agree with 100% of a certain demographic? Religious views that share the same one love principle, but follow different idols? Piss on it. Because we all know…all bisexuals, all people with mental health disorders, and just all people feel the same about their expression of such…….oh wait. Observation and critical thinking = yes. Flappin your twat at everything that doesn’t agree with your idea of acceptance = Stahp.
The analysation of moving paths. The change in direction, the pause in thought, the waiting around, the urgency, the time watching. This is Grand Central Station.
