MH is not my main interest at all, but why not
Look I love good ol' cookie run memes, but some people are just making things up here, I never understood why Affogato and Clotted Cream were even compared with each other, you know, in the "dark mode/light mode" style, just because they were released back to back, and it's??? It's SO OBVIOUS that they have such COMPLETELY DIFFERENT personalities, they're not even comparable.
I'm gonna throw this theory out here and see how it lives through the upcoming crk updates
I already speculated that each of the Beasts are representing different type of dread: Mystic Flour, for instance, is as creepy as the wraith from the old abandoned castle (or temple) can be – she is someone you're afraid to meet alone in the dark, out of anyone's reach. Burning Spice, on the other hand, is terrifying as the foe on the battlefield can be – someone clearly too powerful for you to stand a chance against, and someone who can and will bring you the long and painful destruction. Now, two other Beasts we haven't met yet, but I imagine they can represent something similar. Since Eternal Sugar represents sloth, I think, their type of fear would be fear to once discover yourself in their situation – bored and tired of life, having nothing to amuse yourself with anymore and dragging everyone around you with yourself. Silent Salt might be similar, but not completely: I imagine, they would represent fear of becoming like them, isolated and completely devoid of any human interaction in one's life, possibly even viewing connections and friendships as lower and inferior to their grandiose self.
Finally, Shadow Milk, whom we've met first and who isn't particularly scary at the first sight – silly and goofy, rather, but not terrifying – I think can represent fear of being someone you're afraid your loved ones could turn into. Giving how he's already betrayed Elder Faerie and stuff akhem-
But that's just my take, I don't know if it turns out to be correct in the end.
I know the fits ugly Im no designer ToT
Devsisters need to give Elder fearie an outfit 😔 pls i cannot with another Stardust/Sherbet cookie oitfits give my king costumes nhdnhvds
Also pls elder fearie beat Shadow Milk to death I can't with that mf anymore
The life of being non-native English speaker and learning English on your own is so funny, because your brain views this language in a completely different way, and it feels like a constructor that allows you to express your thoughts more directly than you could in your native one.
the only way id accept jazz frequently going undercover as a decepticon in fanon is if how he does it is just by being nice and funny. like i bet any decepticon would spill massive intel if they met this guy who made funny jokes and offered to clean their guns sometimes. sure they'd like to punch the rookie around but they mellow out pretty quickly and soon enough they're telling the new guy every detail they know about high command over a few drinks and letting him through restricted areas

In a lot of vampire lore, being bitten by a vampire just once doesn't turn a human into a vampire, but some sort of a thrall, enchanted and seduced by the vampire's alluring ways, to make the victim more pliable and easy to feed from, and only a sufficiently prolonged and deliberate series of bites will turn the human victim into a vampire.
Which is compatible with the theory that italians are the opposite of vampires. While vampires cannot stand the sight of crosses, stepping into a church, or being exposed to garlic or sunlight, and cannot see themselves in a mirror, italians become miserable if they cannot have access to a church, crosses, direct sunlight, garlic, and getting to see themselves in a mirror.
Consequently, sensually biting the neck of an italian may enthrall one, but will not immediately turn you into an italian. But a sufficiently prolonged and deliberate series of bites may get one to marry you, therefore giving you an italian citizenship.
My Roman Empire to this day is a video essay by Emperor Kumquat that I saw a long time ago with analysis of the vehicon troopers from TFP and the evidence that they, in fact, are not mindless drones and have a very real spark to lose and a soul of their own.
Now with taking this into account... why are Autobots so apathetic to their deaths? Are they really so numb that massively killing them is like a real life shooter to them? I mean, it's understandable that the indifference on the battlefield may be caused by the severe war trauma (I'm very familiar with it, even though I'm just a civilian), and the Autobots are severely outnumbered, but even then, why are the vehicons so- haha I wanted to say "dehumanised" in their mind, but you got the point.
Maybe we're all wrong and they're not really conscious, but just have an advanced AI instead of the alive mind? How about their sparks then? Their "instinct" of self-preservation? Pain? I don't know.
Maybe at the end of the day, Optimus is the only one true follower of the Autobot dogma, for better or worse.
Upd 09.01.25: yep, I was right
Idk about the stained glass from the treasure gacha, but this thing from the guild museum – isn't this Shadow Milk's portrait?
I don't know about the shapes and all, but he seems to have that braid from the portrait in the silhouette of his past self. Also it says that it's the first headmaster of the Blueberry Yogurt Academy, and since it has so many much of his imagery (the eyes and all), this also might mean that Shadow Milk was the founder of the Academy.
