An apt quote to start a post having to say goodbye to the incredibly talented Khailah Johnson. For the past year or so, I have hung out in her party section as Judith and cried to her roar as Juliet. I can’t believe the former is happening one last time tonight.
Earlier this week, I was lucky enough to see Khailah’s final show as Juliet. The passion that she brings to that role has always been incredible, but Tuesday’s performance gave me a newfound love for her Juliet and made me even more heartbroken that it was her last. She truly is a force to be reckoned with vocally, both as Juliet and as Judith.
Way back in July of last year, one of the first times I saw Khailah, I watched her and Rachel perform together. It’s a common occurrence at & Juliet for two people who play the same role to go on with each other at least once before the torch is passed. Or in that case, the passing of the dagger from Rachel’s Juliet to Khailah’s Judith. Now Khailah passes the metaphorical dagger to Zalah.
Khailah will always be my Judith. She’ll always be the Judith that was there as I became more and more invested in the show. There will be other Judiths down the line that I’m excited for and cannot wait to meet, but I don’t know if they would ever replicate the experience of the time I spent watching Khailah this past year. I’m gonna miss partying with her a lot.
But also like on a less sad note, how crazy is it that she’s touring with JEFF GOLDBLUM??? That’s literally so cool and I’m so excited for her to continue to sing with him and for her future as a performer. I said she was a force to be reckoned with and I know she’s gonna take the word by storm.
I know that you and the rest of the 4400 trick innocent people. I read all about it on the 44orum. You manipulated me, claiming to be my daughter. Kevin Wellington was right. The 4400 are just posing as long-lost family members and then killing them.
No, that’s not what - How can I -

LaDonna: Remember when you took me and Mom to the Botanicals, when I was 8? And I gave Mom a really hard time because I wanted to wear that white dress, the one she was saving for Easter. And you made me wear this horrid, bright orange shirt. And I was so mad until we got to the butterfly enclosure. And then, out of nowhere, all the - All the butterflies started flocking to my shirt, til I was covered in butterflies. And then I wasn’t mad anymore. It was the first time you called me your little butterfly. Not all the powers are bad. And Mildred only did what she did because they treated her horribly at this facility, Ypsi Med. But we’re still us. Look, I’m - I’m still me. I’m still your little butterfly.]
Hollyberry Cookie: Because whenever I see her name, I sing it in my mind like Hurricane Chris in his Halle Berry song, this is redhead Halle Berry to be my Hollyberry | Hydrangea Cookie
Latte Cookie | Lime Cookie
Mocha Ray Cookie | Moonlight Cookie | Mustard Cookie
Raspberry Cookie | Reverend Mother Cookie | Rose Cookie
Shadow Sister Cookie | Starfruit Cookie
Notes:
I only did l,l,ladies,ladies because blackfemmecharacterdepency, so I don’t need nobody to point out the Black ones that are men and stuff.
Most of them cookies darker than the most popular current Black actresses, so fan casting would be a breeze.
Lightskints of all ages could be the majority of these cookies and then there's also some darker ones that would need to be casted accordingly. The fanart be a lil' half baked. IDK what cookies some of y’all be looking at. Maybe my screen different.

And there's a huge area for Black gingers to be included in the redhead choices as we have plenty of them too. They don’t get called into the conversation a lot whenever the folk start up with their whole The Blacks are stealing redhead representation thing, so I’d cast every Black ginger I could think of for the redhead cookies we got.
Aight, so I already have been honest about not knowing these cookies’ lives that way, so IDEK what ages they are to accurately cast for them. Are they all kids? Are they all adults? Are some young and some old? Don’t know. What I do know is that I’m about to go into dark skinned actresses/models for the browner cookies.

Black people love naming they kids some kinda "Ash"(ley,leigh,ly...)
At any rate, if nothing else, I just put a bunch of FCs on a post, whether or not anybody here cares one bit about Cookie Run or whether or not any Cookie Run people care about this.
