Foolish king and the king of fools aaHSJDHSJ I LOVE THE NEW COSTUMES
Without me, you will be left all alone… And you don’t want that, do you…?

reposting some thoughts from twt and expanding on them bc i feel like going a little bit insane about the new legendary costume set for sugar and shadow.
Shadow Milk's An Ad-lib Ending is very clearly based on Macbeth (the rise and fall of a tragic king, hell it even says "Macbeth" on the poster that appears when you pick him up), while Eternal Sugar takes on the role of the big man, Shakespeare himself.
and if Eternal Sugar is Shakespeare in this, lets call it an AU, does that mean she wrote the Midsummer Night's Tragicomedy as well, aka, the story of Moonflower Faerie and Viridescent Daydream? if so, it raises a LOT of interesting contrasting points between what she's written vs the original real-world text her works are inspired by. there's a lot of comparisons, but there's also a lot of contrast, and i, for one, think those contrasts tell a very interesting implicit story.
I think it can be summarily explained by this simple detail: shakespeare's original Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy play. the costume story for Pure Vanilla and White Lily, Midsummer Night's Tragicomedy, is a tragicomedy. Finally, Macbeth, in both its original and rewritten form for Shadow Milk, remains a tragedy play.
um. big compare/contrast analysis essay below in which i go into the differences between the plays and the costume stories in detail and propose questions i think could yield a lot of fun answers :3
tldr
- Eternal Sugar's costume is called "Ink for a Tragicomedy"
- Eternal Sugar being the playwright, aka Shakespeare himself
- Midsummer Night's Tragicomedy (Viridescent Daydream and Moonflower Faerie)
- Jester figure (Puck from the original Midsummer Night's Dream) is mysteriously missing from the Tragicomedy version
- Pure Vanilla being under the effects of a love potion in Midsummer Night's Tragicomedy imply that he's supposed to be in love with someone else
- Shadow Milk, a character with jester motifs, is placed in the role of the titular character from the play Macbeth
- Shadow Milk is missing his Lady Macbeth in said play
- Shadow Milk's "Ad-lib Ending" and Pure Vanilla's "Viridescent Daydream" share costume lines, with Shadow Milk outright mocking Pure Vanilla's line
- Eternal Sugar doesn't mention Hollyberry at all in any of her costume lines, but she does mention Pavlova and Sugarfly, so it isn't as though she doesn't know anyone else. So where tf is Hollyberry.
idk i just found it rlly interesting that both crk versions of the plays were missing the arguably most driving characters in each of their scripts respectively. puck and lady macbeth are insanely influential to the outcomes of both plays and theyre just straight up Not There in the crk versions - instead, the characters who would fill those roles for each other are placed in entirely different scripts, separated. on purpose? who can say.

Avatar of Destiny is the funniest thing ever. Here put 90 Vanillian and Truth and even Vanilla Truth Cookie motifs on the thing but DO NOT explain them. You may look at this creature for like 2-3 years before it shows up. Oh it showed up in the ocean. Now it is in cult basement. Have you heard of the True Deity? The one of compassion regardless of flavor? Anyways moving on. New Cookie: Dead. Vanilla Truth Cookie: In the death cutscene. 7 frames. Extremely concerning. Surprise! The one inside is someone else. She confirms her links to it in a puppy video. There is a metaphor omen hanging around that if she aligns ideologically with the Truth Vanilla Cookie, the world explodes. She finds out the origins of the cult who made the Avatar. Does this help? No. Does she look like it? Occasionally, in a costume. Her evil counterpart looks like it. The paladin who found it is here. Will he mention it? Don't know. We Are At War.
