First Salty Cookie here, and her Daughter-in-law ✨ (she's showing her his childhood album-)
It’s been a while since we had an ensemble of NPCs alongside the First Minions for Witch’s Castle
That’s their First Batcher!
i didnt feel like drawing again so im busting out comic creator wtv. my hc for the virtues creation
We all need to protect these ladies with our lives
I had this thought a couple of weeks ago, before remembering it again just now: we don't truly know why the witches created cookies.
Of course, you may be inclined to say:
"Oh well, the witches wanted to make a cute dessert world filled with silly little cookies"
While this is partly true, based on how much the characters constantly question their intent, and it being a constant source of conflict within the narrative, I don't think that's gonna be the full story.
Now this isn't me saying the witch of light was secretly evil or something.What I am saying, despite her being a powerful witch, she was mostly human alongside the rest of the witches.Like the wizards, they are still flawed at heart as we can see the first's saga from WC.
.....And as we know from the first saga, mainly from their trailers, the human world is.....less than ideal at the moment. 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬
Things have gotten so bad, it caused the witch of light to leave her own kingdom due to it falling into corruption.So safe to say the human world is pretty shitty at the moment.
Which leads into my point, as we know based on how the current story is going the themes of nature/world being unfair is going to play more of a big role here in act 2.With shmilk, carrying themes of wanting control after being screwed over by this world.Similar to Dark enchantress cookie before she bit the dust.
So where am I going with this?Well, assuming this theme is going to continue, it's my belief that the witches made the cookie world for similar reasons...wanting control after being screwed over by the cruelty of the human world.
A clear example of this is first salt and first sugar, who were nearly burned at the stack after being protected by the witch of light from their mom's murderer(mind you,who was let freed after the jury found him innocent).That's why they are judges, never wanting injustice to happen ever again.
we know their beliefs are flawed, but those beliefs bleed into their creations:Silent Bum and Eternal Sugar.The same applying to the rest I am sure-
And of course, they aren't the only ones who suffered due to the human world, and wanting some type of control.
First grain never wanted anyone to go hungry again, First milk never wanted anyone to suffer again, First berry wanted to cling to the people who meant most to her, First Choco wanted strength to defend others, First sprinkle is just there First Sprinkle wanted to make people laugh, and I am sure that applies to the rest of the witches.
While these motivations are noble, they are still selfish, but that isn't a bad thing.After all humans are inherently selfish.What I am saying despite their different motivations.They wanted some control within the world, but the world as we know is a bitch (especially in world of cookie run)which lead them to make a new world.A fresh new start....but as we all know:History repeats itself.
The world of cookie run is wonderful but also very unfair as well.The beasts, their creations made to lead cookiekind, corrupted before getting sealed away(not by their own hands)...eventually DE came into the picture, with plans to overthrow the witches and yadda yadda.You know the whole deal.
To be clear I am not saying, this is all the witches' fault.What I am saying is that their plans of making the cookie world was flawed from the start and was going to fail eventually.
So what does this mean for the future of the story?Well, we aren't sure how/when the firsts are gonna show up but when they do I think it would be interesting see to them come to terms with what their world has become...but also their past lives as humans....It may take years, but I think eventually, we will end up in the human world....BUT HEY THAT'S JUST A THEORY!!A WITCHES' THEORY!!! THANKS FOR READING!!!
