TIME TRAVEL!
WOOT!

this site is heavily inspired by this wonderful site by spoonfulofbeez! go check em out :)

disclaimer!!!!! this SPECIFIC page (about my history) has a lot of talk abt mental health and covers some upsetting stuff (vaguely)! i know some people may find it cringe to associate all this shit with a character but just so u know IDGAF!!!!!! this shrine is for me to pour out my emotions and be free! if you would like to skip this page however, go ahead! ^^

other pages are a huge WIP!!!

hello. welcome.. to my shrine dedicated to the 4th anniversary update of cookie run: ovenbreak: operation timeguard!! this is the update that introduces croissant cookie and timekeeper cookie, my top favoritest cookies of all time! (alongside wind archer cookie). this shrine is dedicated mostly to the two of them and the ship between them, but does also include the TBD cookies in general!

also, quick additional disclaimer: if you are uncomfortable with selfcest, please don't proceed with this shrine since a huge bulk of it features a selfcest ship (also my comfort ship)!! thank you! i have nothing against ppl uncomfy with selfcest, but i also dont believe it is worth arguing over! this is not 2021 T_T if you would like to go back to the shrine page, click here! also this is significantly less important but i use they/them pronouns for tk :] pls respect dat

moving on.. hello and thank u for reading! this first page is dedicated to my history with these characters and why they're so dear to me!

lets go to the wayback machine! alllll the way back in 2021, a super young impressionable kid found out about cookie run kingdom! and then shortly after, discovered the existence of cookie run: ovenbreak! this was a HUGE discovery for me, since at the time, i was at a pretty low point in my life, and was kinda super lonely (+ it was still the pandemic) with no one to talk to. so! once i installed and played these games, they occupied my mind and life 24/7! i played it literally everyday for HOURS. and it didnt stop there!

when i started out, my favorites were espression & madeleine -> wind archer & fire spirit cookie ( i still rlly like those 2, btw ) and then eventually, i discovered croissant cookie and timekeeper cookie! by the time they released, their update had only NARROWLY (by a few months) been done. i started playing around early february 2021, which, in hindsight, feels like forever ago but wasnt even that long ago!

when i found out about them, i was OBSESSSEDDDD!! i dont know what about them appealed to me so much, especially croissant cookie, but goodness, they took over my life! i saw alot of myself in croissant cookie, her insecurities, her need to impress, she was just a very me character!! though timekeeper took a backseat in my early tbd-loving days, they were also a character i really admired! i used to draw them everyday, hang up pictures of my drawings on the wall, i cosplayed croissant, i had a themed bday after her, and it was very very bread-y days.

i've went through.. quite a lot of stuff because of cookie run and ESPECIALLY because of timekeeper and croissant, stuff that hurt a lot!! there was a time when i never wanted ANYTHING to do with them or cookie run, or less i'd start feeling really nervous and uncomfortable. one thing lead to another, and i was back to being at my lowest point ever thanks to gay french cookies! my luck is terrible :p. worse, is that it took months for me to even feel like i was on the road to getting better! but yknow what.. over time, i started to kind of stop associating it with that pain and like. borderline trauma i went through when i was younger and started to come back to my cookie run roots, what gave me comfort and happiness and what stuck with me even a little bit in my head for YEARS was finally becoming something i slowly appreciated again after a while.

all of that to say that: holy shit. i went through HELL AND BACK because of these fucking cookies bro. did i deserve like, half of what i experienced? no. not really. did it fuck me up long time? yes, and i still feel the effects of it now! but the fact that after all of that, i was still able to love and appreciate and even still find COMFORT in these two show a lot of growth in me as a person! woag... character development!!

croissant cookie and tk are basically my ride-or-die characters. i have gone through so much because of them and with them. i have used them as characters to cope during some awful points in my life, and they have been reminders of awful points in my life. a lot of pain and misery and love and attachment i hold towards these characters and cookie run as a whole. and for the first time ever.. i dont really mind!

i'm glad i got to feel what i felt about them, im glad to be shipping croisstime without a care in the world and not fear being like.. immoral or whatever! (yes i actually did catch flack for that. it was surely an era)

so what did we learn from this very long, emotional tangent about my attachment and insane history towards two fictional characters? :D

THESE!! BITCHES!!!!!!!!! GAY!!!!!!!!
