also, i know i sent in an ask literally a few seconds ago, but this is a different thing, and i'm a bit more serious this time. this will be a bit long, but still speaking as timekeeper here,
can someone else please rewrite cookie run and actually make it good. gosh.
as a writer, i try to just enjoy works as much as i can because i know this shit is not easy, but i'm so ashamed of CR's writing direction. i don't know shit about kingdom right now so i ain't getting to that, but on the ovenbreak side, it gets so bad sometimes. i'm not in the fandom anymore, but even when i was more active, we couldn't get through a few months without some controversy because of the character design, or the writing, or the cultural appropriation. even now, i've constantly been hearing shit about the new events from my friends.
i can tell the writers sometimes don't do much research at all when all of us cookies are supposed to be representations of diverse people here on earth, or don't bother to make literal plot points consistent just to look cool or whatever, or use very questionable themes and glamourize / fetishize it. this is partially why i eventually stopped playing, and it's such a shame.
cookie run was the very reason i got out of months of art block when inspiration was running dry. i met a lot of people through the game, and it was the reason i formed friendships with people i still talk to today. hell, even my identity as timekeeper was because of the game. it was very goddamn complicated and it took me about 3 years to figure shit out, but i don't think i would've reached to this point if i didn't pick up this game in 2019. trust me, i FUCKING LOVED this game and i've always tried to see the good in it, but there were many things about it that slapped me in the face, so i found myself leaving eventually.
i'm not saying i'm some sort of expert writer or whatever. absolutely not. however, i just. think a lot of potential was wasted big time here. if i lead devsisters, i could've ruled the fucking world! just kidding. ~ timekeeper cookie (cookie run: ovenbreak) #💘🍆🏏
