me writing: i am a god and reality bends to my whims
me proofreading: im too stupid to be alive
“How many people have died to achieve this world domination of yours?” “769.” “…What?” “769 people died to achieve my plans. I counted them, and had each of their names etched on my throne so I never forget what my victory cost the world. Now tell me, how many have you killed to see me dead?”
Here's some notes on some of the upper body muscles so you, artist, don't need to look them up
They are not medically accurate, just enough for artists to know the necessary muscles and how they work together
I 100% recommend doing the last exercise I did to be able to actually place the muscles
It took me a while but I finally realised why Mystic Flour and Dark Cacao are positioned as opposites, or ying and yang. Dark Cacao as we know is a character all about hope. He keeps going no matter what. He is a warrior king of a warrior nation and will go down fighting, keeping the hope and sacrificing his life for the sake of others to his very last breath. “There is hope because we live.” Is what he says.
On the other hand we have Mystic. She is a saint, a Demi god of sorts who’s been around for a very long time and her danger lies in her extreme nihilism. Her philosophy, her battle tactics, everything she wishes to do is for this one goal — to make everyone "return to flour", which is just a pompous way of saying "perish". Not only does she believe life to be completely meaningless and therefore gives up on it, she wants everyone else to jump down that pit with her because she sees the very act of life as suffering. Perishing is a "release", and it sounds like something out of a cult because it is. It’s a cult-like mindset and that is what makes Mystic the foil to Cacao. She is the essence of giving up hope and passion, the essence of apathy while Cacao is all spirit and passion. The war between them is more than just a cookie conflict; it’s a war of beliefs, of almost religious nihilism against a passionate existentialism.
It’s a cookie game btw.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
