#crk beasts

[thegallowsdeer]

Keep thinking about how Bravetrio, Red Velvet Cookies and the Beasts are both created by and victims of the Witches and I think there is an interesting conversation there. Like. All of them are incredibly different and yet idk. I think you could do something interesting with it.

I made some test earlier this year but it was mostly for the bug beasts form

Still only on the Night Raven/Ananas Dragon episode rn but a thought I had during the whole Sage of Truth part of the story was the fact that there’s only like ONE timeline with an uncorrupted Shadow Milk (or at least only one that Timekeeper could find, idk how it works) kind of just proves that the Virtues were set up for failure. Like they were straight up doomed. I’m saying the Virtues in general cuz even tho they don’t say it I honestly think it applies to the other Beasts as well, 99% of timelines probably have the Beasts dead or corrupted. Also are we gonna talk about the implications of the Sage of Truth timeline cuz like is Truthless Recluse there tf happened to him 😭 I guess TR doesn’t have a soul jam in his design so it works but like why is Sage’s flipped?? Things that aren’t important to think about. Does Shadow Milk Not Corrupting cause a Peak of Truth to exist- my bad I’ll stop thinking about the implications of that timeline that’s not what this post was meant to be about. …are the other beasts okay-💥

Can we like have some self-love coming the Beast Cookies and Nether Queen Cookie?

Like I always see ships or interactions with other cookies that "redeems" the Beast Cookies and I saw that comic with Nether Queen Cookie.

Why is this lore making cookies low-key seem replaceable or not worthy healing on their own? It makes me severely empathizes with them despite being cookies in a game.

Like I wanna see Shadow Milk relearning his love for knowledge but for himself instead of for cookies. Burning Spice venturing and seeing Change bloom after ruin from personal experience as a cookie not a Divine. Same with Mystic Flour, I want to her to find purpose again without needing others to lecture her. Eternal Sugar seeing happiness bloom because of pain that came before. Silent Salt needs to learn he cannot judge the crimes of his former comrades without seeing the pain that caused it and he learns to commit to himself while allow others to stand with him.

Nether Queen's comic made me kinda sad. She was stuck there but she's not someone who can be replaced. She, like the other guardians, can fulfill her role while living as a cookie, maybe on an adventure in the overworld every once in a while. Why does everyone needs to have a replacement or successor to enjoy themselves? Let her take her naps or go drink some lovely on a nice afternoon.

Slice-of-life stuff for them to recover and recharge without cookies bothering them like in the story so far.

They are free to choose for themselves without involving others or using others as an excuse to continue. At least, that's what I see personally, that's lacking in the whole theme of crk. There are many paths and the one you can only see isn't always the best or only choice.

That's what I think White Lily certainly needed to learn as she is still not growing imo. Her seeing a few witches made her/DEC think all witches want cookies to be eaten when that's not the truth for other witches. She lacked the patience and open-mindedness to see from multiple perspectives. Freedom for cookiekind does not excuse looking for a conclusion that's behind a door that should stay locked. Witches gave them the freedom to live in a world of their own, to grow and learn, be good or evil, to just..Live! Not all cookies care for knowing something that doesn't matter in how they choose to live.

Maybe they do need a witch to come down and tell them to knock it off. Lol.

So Another Shadow Milk theory

I answered this to someone before I'll paste what I said here with some refinements. I stated I wouldn't be surprised if Shadow Milk Cookie was also the Great Sage foretold in the Guild Museum in the Magic section.

As I said the Great Sage's Gem was the treasure that was released along with Shadow Milk Cookie's update on Crk. That's a hint. Most artifacts released with cookies have some relevance to them like the golden clock treasure being released with Timekeeper Cookie. So why would the Great Sage's Gem be released with Shadow Milk Cookie unless it's hinting that the Great Sage and Shadow Milk are connected?

Secondly, the Great Sage's Staff in the Guild Museum (in the magic gallery section where the First Headmaster portrait also is housed, mind you) details that the Great Sage disappeared across the Licorice Sea, which is the very sea that separates Crispia from Beast Yeast! The staff can purify lands, which means the Great Sage has powerful magic. We know Shadow Milk is a very powerful magic user, far stronger than he was in Beast Yeast episodes, which are already very powerful. The staff also has the same aesthetic associated with Shadow Milk Cookie, just like how Blue Yogurt Academy had very obvious aesthetics connected to Shadow Milk, who is now confirmed to be the First Headmaster. The First Headmaster and the Great Sage most likely disappeared around the same time the Fount of Knowledge/Shadow Milk Cookie was embracing Deceit. One of Shadow Milk's costumes, which is canonically the only uncorrupted counterpart, is called the SAGE of Truth, so SMC used titles used in terms of knowledge and magic.
