Just a huge fan of Mega Man, Pokemon, Cookie Run, Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends, Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, and Ultraman.
I also enjoy Ace Attorney and look back fondly on media I hadn't kept up on in a while like Ninjago.
I'm also a bit of a critical sort who's still understanding the world around me. XD
My biggest pet peeve about Cookie Run Ovensmash... ^_^'
To anyone that's extensively played the game before, which I've had been for like the past several months since it officially came out...
Do you just get fucking irritated whenever fellow players on your team deliberately keep their distance from the turtle in the Castle Smash game mode or stay away from the stage in Drop the Beat? sigh Because this tends to piss me off as it gives the opposing team more of an inch to winning. XD
I'm going to make this a straight up ask, because our DMs is...ugh, too occupied.
Anyway, here goes. Do you believe Golden Cheese Cookie actually had any development as a character whatsoever? Please share me your thoughts, even if you already did to me about her.
(Why I am asking that? Well after seeing that...interesting reblog you made, which I don't disagree on. I looked into that original poster and saw uh...this interesting ask. Tbf, I respectfully though completely disagree she didn't have any development as a character whatsoever during chapters 5 and 6 Beast Yeast chapters, I think that's quite harsh to say she had no development whatsoever but I'm taking out of context.)
Huh, that’s interesting. Well honestly in my opinion I actually do believe that Golden Cheese Cookie receive some character development in Beast Yeast Episodes 5 & 6. But I can understand why people don’t think she did, that’s fair. I would say Golden Cheese’s experiences in Beast Yeast made her stronger and gave us into more highlight of who she truly is as a person, as well as pushing her to eventually be ready to see White Lily Cookie again.
Looking back, Burning Spice really did bring out some of her worst fears and she was on the verge of crumbling while facing him, in what could’ve been her final moments but didn’t give in. I feel like people are missing the fact that throughout 5 & 6, we’ve seen of her struggles out on display (Besides her wings getting ripped). Her part in Episode 6 shows this imo, where she has a moment of panic and desperation where she can do nothing but insist that she won’t let what’s “hers” be taken away again and Smoked Cheese gave her the talk she needed to get herself back together and escaped
Unlike Silent Salt who was testing White Lily…Burning Spice pursued Golden Cheese like a game of cat and mouse, the thrill he wanted and potentially someone strong enough to end him. Before and after awakening she tells Burning Spice that he doesn’t and will never deserved the power of Abundance.
Because he never acknowledged the worth of what he had built while she, who lost everything built, felt the pain and grief of it, will never give up that power. Even if her kingdom gets destroyed again, she’ll rebuilt it and do anything to protect her people, her precious treasures.
To me, this is Golden Cheese’s true character in full display, she considers herself to be greedy and takes that as a compliment because she KNOWS what her greed is and what she’s fighting for. She still and always will be greedy, just that her selfish desires are very kind which is why the Soul Jam she holds is Abundance, why her journey matters. And…why she will always be my favorite ancient cookie ^_^
Thanks for the answer, Ghost. I absolutely need this from you. Yeah, I absolutely agree with your points here and I can see why this is your favorite character among the ancient cookies.
Sadly… None of this is incorrect. It is objectively egregious.
Even Golden Cheese Cookie, who is arguably the LEAST bad of these three examples. Tbf, most of the cookies of her kingdom are pretty much fucking DEAD than alive but in the long run, keeping her citizens’ souls in a digital false “safe haven” city was not a helpful decision and she kept the fact they literally died a secret. It wasn’t really by any shape or form a material solution to her problems, it was a band-aid idealistic illusion of a solution. But unlike the other two, she did change out of that mindset, she had to learn the hard way but still.
leave it to Toei to celebrate Pride Month by starting it off having the hero, who is an egg, literally achieve their max power by finally coming out, getting absolutely slathered in rainbows, and this finally allows them to "trans"mute stuff.
Ananas Cookie being added to crk is so exciting but only original ovenbreak players will remember purchasing them in the guild shop and their price being exactly 1 currency more expensive than the other dragons because of their bigass ego
Sketchy Yong Bao and Hong Mei :) I'll leave my rambling under the cut
Not gonna lie it's much harder to find references for uniforms on Chinese railways during Yong Baos construction date than I thought. Part of that is due to the period of time which was from 1950s-1966 and part of that is due to the fact if you search Chinese railway uniform you get stuff from the Canadian Pacific railway and or images of British railways instead. My mom helped me find a few images using Chinese search engines and I took a few liberties since the uniform back then was supposed to be much more simple but Yong Bao has one of the most over the top designs I've ever seen.
These were according to the website the uniforms of the 1950s, and according to my mom remained pretty much unchanged except for colouration which went from the pictured blue into a grey colour. The 1960 variation also followed much closer the typical workman's uniform from the time, my mom said back in the day all clothing being sold looked pretty much the same. She then gave me an anecdote about how her parents hand made her clothes so she could flex on her peers.
1960s variation
Also when I first started looking through references I had to pretty much rely solely on propaganda posters since they are much better archived. I thought I'd share some of the stuff I did manage to find incase anybody is interested!
1980s variation
1984 and 1994
More modern stuff
Old propganda poster whoops I'm at the 10 image limit
There's so much I want to read about and learn about railways in China it's very intresting. I've taken the trains in Bejing before they were super fun and I wish I had taken pictures but I didn't predict 5 years later I'd become a thomas fan so aha. Also their passenger trains have beds! I've slept in one before it's not very comfortable but very cool nonetheless. Sorry this is very incoherent I'm very excited is all!
Bruh, the utter copium from CRK fans is this???!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Damn, White Lily Cookie's uh...fate in the finale of the entire Ancient-Beast storyline really fucked fans up to the point Royal Mike just has a compilation of them making these...can't say I blame them... 😅
If you have been living under a rock recently and are a Roblox player, Roblox just terminated a user who caught CHILD PREDETORS on their platform, and got them arrested in REAL LIFE. Schlep got a ceased and desist letter, and all of his Roblox accounts got banned. This is more than what any of the arrested predators got. What the hell. WHAT DOES ROBLOX GET FROM THIS. HE WAS DOING THEIR JOB.
You know they fucked up when so many other big Roblox content creators (Thinknoodles, KreekCraft, Flamingo, etc) are taking a stand against and left the Star Program, other big YouTubers (penguinz0/moistcritical, iHasCupquake) are taking about the situation, and hell even Law by Mike, Chris Hanson, and ACTUAL POLITICIANS are also joining the fight.
Roblox has lost 12 billion in a single day and will continue to do so due to their refusal to be hold accountability and trying to justify their actions.
I used to play Roblox as a kid, it was a key part of my childhood that led me to meeting some very important friends online I still chat with. But now with the whole predator controversy Roblox brought upon itself? I ultimately chose to delete the games off my phone and computer and I'm basically boycotting the game until further notice. (Thank GOD I never wasted money on Robux) What an utter fucking shame to see how god damned low this platform had fallen and by this point, the current staff and CEO are running their company to the ground.
But on the other hand, it's situations like the whole #freeschlep movement gaining so much traction that shows me that there is still hope for the world and we got to keep fighting for a better future. Spread the word, everyone, we're all in this together. 🫡
I don’t like using my blog related to serious drama, but as someone who’s a fan of Roblox, this feels too important to acknowledge.
Guys, let’s get #FreeSchlep trending on Tumblr too, more people need to be aware about how unsafe Roblox is in regards to children’s safety and Roblox themselves is banning a guy who has been doing so much in regards of making Roblox a safer place. If we want Roblox to actually do their jobs, then we need to make as much noise as we can around ALL social media platforms, no matter how hopeless it may seem. PROTECT THE CHILDREN!

In the world of stillness costume set, I’ve noticed something very interesting
As many people have pointed out, Mystic Flour appears to show emotion, that emotion appearing to be sadness
(Sorry about the text she wouldn’t do her animation for me on my game so I had to settle for this 😭)
And this sadness comes from the sun turning black, losing its glow.
In the whole animation, she appears to summon the sun, then she prays and mumbles, and when she opens her eyes, the sun dims, and that upsets her.
So here’s what I’m thinking: She finally got what she wanted. The whole world has been cleansed and she is free from the greedy cookies that harmed her before. Not only that—Dark Cacao has been “enlightened” just like she. It’s clear she is pleased by this (“Finally, the other one has met his dusk” “Allow the morning fog to complete you”).
(She also says “Ahh, you have found a way out of your agony”. She is pleased he’s not feeling these emotions anymore)
She didn’t know she wanted him, but now that he’s here beside her, enlightened by apathy, she’s found something new. She cares about Dark Cacao. She feels safer to express emotions with him around. (This includes her defeat animation, where she has a similarly sad expression unlike her regular outfit’s defeat animation) (even before, she revealed an emotion of sadistic glee to him in the main story).
And also, just so bring it home that Mystic Flour cares about Dark Cacao, the very costume story has symbolism revealing how she needs him.
Dark Cacao is the sun, rising and setting day after day in the empty world, whilst Mystic Flour is the morning dew, disappearing every morning under the sun’s warm rays.
In some of her voice lines, she questions if this is what he really wants and encourages him to keep embracing apathy. (“Is this what you truly desire?” “Accept your finality.”) She wants him to stay no matter what by clarifying he truly wants to stay in her apathy and encourages him to stay in this life with her.
Mystic Flour feels safe with Dark Cacao. He hides her from the world during the day, then hides away so she can come out safely at night, he helped her achieve her destiny and he helped her feel comfortable showing how she feels again. Despite the state the world is in, he made her better, even if just a little bit.
This is not a mutual connection, though.
Dark Cacao believes himself to be alone. He lost everything. He’s lonely. No matter what light he unknowingly made for Mystic Flour, it doesn’t matter. He’s apathetic and alone. He believes that is and always has been the way of the world now.
In another voice line, he says “My sun may set, but I shall remain.”
He sees the sun leaving and knows he’ll never be able to escape apathy and has accepted that fact. He’s basically lost all purpose.
TLDR; he’s lonely and has accepted that fact by letting go of his resolution that mystic flour describes as agony.
Mystic Flour got what she wanted and more. She returned the world to flour AND has a protector that hides her in his rays. As her dewdrops evaporate in his rising and setting sun, she believes herself finally free and is able to express herself freely. When she sees the sun dying in her idle, that represents her worry that she may lose that protection and thus continues to encourage his embrace of apathy. She’s scared to lose him.
Dark Cacao, on the other hand, lost everything. His kingdom and all the cookies he cared about are gone. He accepts apathy as a way to escape these emotions he feels. He’s lonely, but doesn’t see any way to fix that, so he accepts apathy. He doesn’t think he’ll ever escape this feeling, so he instead allows Mystic Flour to win just so he can escape his emotions. He’s lost everything, so he decided to become apathetic so he has no fear of losing anything else.
She cares for him and is holding onto him as tightly as she can, but he doesn’t notice nor care. He’s going to stay, he doesn’t care either way anymore.
Ngl, Mystic Flour Cookie being the dependent moon and Dark Cacao Cookie being that independent sun somehow kinda fits in a weird way...especially when you remember how the sun can produce it's own light, while the moon doesn't actually produce it's own light at all and is dependent on reflecting off the sun's light to create it's light.
Again, the independent sun and the dependent moon. Dark Cacao is the sun that can only really depend on itself while Mystic Flour Cookie is the moon that NEEDS that sun, even if the sun doesn't need the moon back.

RETIRED Dec. 2023!
I have never mentioned it before and only now can barely talk about loosing my Son Ted,
June 6, 2022.
Then I lost my you
On May 16th, 2024, Richard G. Ortega, the father of Ted Jan "TJ" Roberts has confirmed his son's death on Facebook. Given how hard of a loss this was on him and his family, and coupled with the fact another son had died in December 2023, you can imagine why it took almost 2 years to address his death. The cause of TJ Roberts' death is still unknown, but even now his family are still grieving and it's been hard on them for years.
For all of Masked Riders faults and despite never truly watching the show, it is a crucial part of the history of western adaptations for Tokusatsu and obviously, there's no denying how unfortunate and depressing these news of the lead actor's passing is.
All I can really say is Rest In Peace to TJ Roberts, as well as his younger brother Paul. And I offer my condolences to his family and wish the best for them.
Rest In Peace, Ted Jan Roberts... Dex Stewart... Masked Rider.
Why is it...that only NOW that YouTube channels uploaded Ultraman content for fans to be able to access, for years no less, are finally getting the axe?! Why only NOW is this something that had been happening?!
Well, RIP to the channels of Bright Eye Toku Fan, Avanaf, Sam the Messenger, etc. That just kills international Ultra fans' easiest access to these shows and movies....my god...
Normally I don't talk about subjects like this but....there's a truth I feel the need to break out rn, especially for Thomas fans
Now I already broke the news about it in a Deviantart post last night...
I stopped using Deviantart long ago...but the fact I felt compelled to make an exception just that once should tell you how serious it is. And I should break it out in Tumblr too.
A doctor has been arrested after authorities said he put a hidden camera in the bathroom of a family member's home.
On April 7, the Alexander County Sheriff's Office contacted the Iredell County Sheriff's Office about an investigation surrounding 31-year-o
Richard Dean Jordan, also known as Skarloey123, a grown ass man in his early 30s, a (now former) physician with a wife and kid has been ARRESTED a month ago and is rightfully facing FELONY CHARGES for his actions. Now what did this man do, y'ask? Well as y'probably tell from these links, he was arrested for placing hidden cameras in some family member's bathroom to peep on goddamned minors.
It should be more than obvious why Jordan deserved to be arrested from the crimes alone. But what bugs me even more is that this man is a god damn grown ass man with the responsibility of raising a kid, he should have KNOWN better than this. It's always the ones you least expect and overlook that end up falling off this bloody hard from grace.
Richard Jordan, again, also known as Skarloey123, was a well respected content creator among the Thomas community. He was also known for creating Sodor: The Dark Times and notorious fan character controversial among fans that is Alfred the Loaned B12. It just disgusts me how many people this scumbag ultimately betrayed through his recent actions:
His fellow medical colleagues he likely worked with to help those in need
Members of the Thomas community who were heavily inspired to use Alfred in their series and have their own take on him, for better or worse
The open minded fans who can actually respect those various fan-interpretations of his OC for what it was
But most importantly....these are the people who deserved the most support at the moment
The child victims he secretly preyed on and also the family (His wife, their kid, and even his mom who helped come up with ideas for his fan character) who trusted in him
Also yes, for those among the Thomas community who are well-aware of him...
This IS the same Richard Jordan, the doctor (A physician IS a doctor) in his 30s who illegally set up hidden cameras to peep on bloody minors. It's literally confirmed in his Twitter profile. There's no denying it's the same man.
And there's more I have to say on than I already need to say on why I think this is so unacceptable... Thomas the Tank Engine, while more than a franchise for kids, had always been a franchise targeted towards children whether it be the books or the TV series. It is a franchise that made up the childhoods of many, even mine, which had inspired many well-known Thomas content creators.
Furthermore, it's also worth noting the Thomas franchise inadvertently all began from a father's strong familial love for his son. It started off with the Reverend Wilbert Awdry coming up with simple bedtime stories to his son, Christopher Awdry, after all.
So where am I getting with this? Well to me...
You can't be a human being OR a Thomas fan if can't value the lives and well-being of human children. Knowing the Thomas franchise's own demographic, how it basically ultimately started, AND the impact both the official and fan Thomas media made on the childhoods of many out there... as a human being AND a Thomas fan, you DON'T fuck with children, like ever. You DON'T screw over or prey on new generations to come that will help shape up the future that previous generations have protect, value, and guide for.
sighs No one could've predicted this man who an made quite impact on the Thomas community to descend this low... and it's safe to say no one is EVER gonna look at his content and most certainly not Alfred either, who was the already such a controversially divisive character among fans because of idiots who can't separate fan-interpretations from canon. Such a bloody disappointment.
And to those who are wondering "Well who should own the rights to Alfred and his stories now?". Well to that I'd say...
That doesn't matter. Literally, that is the least of our concerns atm. Forget Trainz (leave that to other people), forget his stories and most certainly forget Alfred the goddamned LNER Holden B12...what's more important are the child victims and family members who will never be the fucking same after these recent events.
And hell, it's also important to separate Alfred from those who were associated with or inspired to use Jordan's fan character in their series. They couldn't have predicted he'd fallen this low. So don't go attacking them or even labelling them as the "new creator/owner" of Alfred to feel better about using him. No, they shouldn't nor do they deserve being burdened with the long lasting controversial legacy or impact of a man who's completely fallen to darkness.
I don't know what else to say... but it's finally time to move on, especially those among the Thomas fandom. There are plenty of other Thomas content creators you can be invested in the stories and characters of that are much worth your time. Unsubscribe, unfollow, and block him on all his media platforms, even if it's rotting in prison to even use them. All we can do now is express our sympathies to a community and especially family he betrayed and the victims this wretched convicted pedophile had preyed on.
And also...to end things off, please, don't lose your light and humanity everyone.
