wtf did i just watch?
So, I've never been particularly drawn to Black Sapphire Cookie. In fact, I don't really play Kingdom at all. Its gacha system is just too predatory. I'm more of an Ovenbreak girlie. But that doesn't mean I don't follow its lore. Kingdom has waaaay better lore and writing than it has any right to, and fantastic character design to boot, so of course I keep an eye on it.
I saw Black Sapphire as a grape-skinned copy of Alastor, who I also can't stand. But his design, like all Cookie Run designs regardless of game, is excellent: strong silhouette, bold color-scheme, and that sentient microphone-staff thing. Holy shit, I love his staff. That after show or whatever they're calling it was fantastic. The fact that it's one of the deceitlings that knows the truth is fascinating. Does he engage in deceit to distract himself from this lonely truth? Was this knowledge passed to him by the Fount himself? And, like White Lily, was it this forbidden knowledge that turned the Fount into the Beast known as Shadow Milk?
The way Black Sapphire spoke about it made it seem like he was truly alone in this reality, which makes me wonder if Shadow Milk even knows himself. And the fact that Candy Apple doesn't know either is strange too, because why would Shmilk reveal the truth to Black Sapphire and not her? I really hope we get to see more of this and it isn't just a throwaway moment. All this intrigues me! And I can't believe I actually want to see more Black Sapphire! I was so annoyed by how he won Husband and Cookie of the Year, but maybe it was for the best??? If we get more of this kind of crazy lore. Honestly didn't expect this from him.
