🤍 "I am longing to seek out... something." | 3rd Anniversary Update in CookieRun: Kingdom 

White Lily blooms brilliantly. The last of the original ancients is being released. I'm just happy to see them all in one place. I'm sure they all will be too. . . right?

Yall hear me out, it'd be cool to have shadow milk like skin for pure vanilla since they both look almost the same unlike the others.

So, would that mean that instead of White Lily Cookie being assimilated into Dark Enchantress Cookie. White Lily Cookie was *actually* split from her darkness which was then formed into Dark Enchantress Cookie?

For the people who don’t get the lore and/or White Lily’s character, I made a very long explanation and analysis. (The Literature student in me couldn’t resist.) Scroll to the very bottom for short summary. From what I can tell from this video, White Lily seems to have been in some sort of coma or unconscious state. This is likely because she fell into the Ultimate Dough and most of her consciousness was reincarnated into her “evil” form Dark Enchantress Cookie. However, the part of her that is pure and good is trapped in the glass coffin shown, and she’s trying to gather her essence to stay awake for as long as possible. She needs “life powder” to escape, so she can only remain in the coffin if no one else sacrifices themself. Faerie King did make the necessary sacrifice, thankfully, and she’s escaped with the intent of repenting for her sins as her alter ego, Dark Enchantress. Then, it’s revealed that an even darker and more dangerous force has awakened: Shadow Milk Cookie, the first Fallen Hero and Pute Vanilla’s counterpart. Seems like the Fallen Heroes are all counterparts to the Ancients. The Ancients and the Fallen Heroes have the same essence (Truth, Happiness, etc) but things went awry some time along the way, turning them evil. Looking deeper into it, White Lily is a good example of “same goal, different choices, different story”. She is my favorite Ancient because the conflict happens internally and not externally. Basically, she’s fighting another version of herself. And the interesting part is, it shows that anything can be “good” or “evil”. You could also say that she’s a morally gray character who could go either way, and this created 2 personas: White Lily and Dark Enchantress. You ever read an “Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence” fanfic? This is exactly what happened. Both of them want to seek the truth. It is only the actions they took (and will take) that differ, and what makes them so different from each other. It is why White Lily’s soul split into two. White Lily wants to seek the truth to help Cookiekind, while Dark Enchantress has gone rogue in her quest for the truth, believing that Cookies are made to be eaten. It’s noted that this destroyed her character fundamentally, and is ultimately what turned her evil. I like to think that she was the reason behind her downfall, not the Ultimate Dough. I’m honestly impressed that a Cookie gacha game has such intricate lore. Looking forward to this update a lot, the 3 year wait was worth it. :) TL:DR: White Lily is in a glass coffin and needs Life Powder to get out. Faerie King sacrifices himself. Evil awakens in the tree as Faerie King’s magic is no longer active: aka Shadow Milk Cookie, first of the Fallen Heroes in the preview.

Oh Devsister, thank you for feeding us.

Skill Powder is such a drag to grind. Don't get me wrong I'm excited, maybe not for the max level increase

Yes, Shadow Milk! I knew from the moment we saw him, he’d have some sort of villainous effects, but now I’m more than certain that he, along with all the other old ancient hero’s and Dark Enchantress Cookie, would be the next big bads! Though, I’m surprised to see him so soon. I thought for sure he’d be the last old ancient we met, given his tower is in the center of the land, but this is a major twist i couldn’t have expected. Can’t wait to see what this trickster and all the other cookie have in store!

Im happy that all the ancients are playable soon, but im mad about the level increase, its gonna take longer because I can't "pay to win"

FINALLY WHITE LILY IS FINALLY BECOMING PLAYABLE, THE THREE YEAR WAIT WAS WORTH IT 😭😭😢

Devsisters cooked up a feast today. One might even say... A Beast Yeast Feast

1:13 ayo ayoo is this snow white reference?!

Shoutout to Devsisters for actually listening to people’s pleas. Not all games do that. ❤

HER SKILL REDESIGN IS SO BEAUTIFUL OMG

IF PURE VANILLA SACRIFICES HIMSELF IMMA RIOT

white lily is too gorgeous she has such a nostalgic theme its too perfect!! also something i discovered pure vanilla and white lily have a similar skill animation with some sort of circle being created by their staff

1:06 if she isn’t surrounded by 7 sugar gnomes in the actual update I’m gonna cry

Shoutout to Eric Mendez for being such a good VA for white lily and black pearl! Edit: MOOOOOM I'M FAMOUS NOW

1:08 Does this mean White Lily and Dark enchantress has same identity yet different bodies?

She's always been my favorite cant believe after 3 years finally

This whole time… I was hoping we’d see Lilybell Cookie (from Ovenbreak) as it felt like the only possible cookie that could be associated with White Lily. And we did get a bell!.. Silverbell that is 😅

2:23 SHADOW MILK COOKIE SPOTTED 😱

I CANTTT wait for this!! After so long we got all the ancients! I can’t wait to see how the story will continue to go on.

Shadow Milk is gonna be an entire new rarity, take my words with a grain of salt.

So excited!! And yayy!! I am SO SUPER HAPPY to see White Lily again!! And I am starting to fell in LOVE with this update, especially White Lily Cookie and Silverbell Cookie!!! They are now both of my new FAVES!!! 🩶🤍

0:56 his skill looks beautiful

“But that means a living cookie must sacrifice their own life power” NOOO PURE VANILLA 😭😭😭

This update looks beautiful! Shoutout to the Cookie Run devs!

Wait...So White Lilly Cookie goes with gingerbrave's crew and Pure Vanilla is with them so...WHAT HAPPENED TO DARK ENCHANTRESS COOKIE??? WHERE IS SHE NOW??

HER SKILL LOOKS INSANE WHAT!!!? WE BOUTTA BLOOM THE COOKIES AWAY IN ARENA WITH THIS ONE😍

I’m slowly being incorporated into this fandom And somewhat feel worried and glad at the same time

Omg I’ve never been more excited for an update EVER

SO EXCITED FOR THIS UPDATW!

I didn’t understand half the lore here, but I’m hella hyped for White Lily and Silver Bell Cookie! Also in the cookie screen when they lvl up, you can see next to the toppings something new (at approximately 0:34) I wonder what that is 👀. Also I wonder if Beast Yeast is a separate story mode that you can do even without completing story mode, because I’m still stuck at Smoked Cheese Cookie boss 🥲

Her ultimate kinda look likes Nahida's ultimate and I LOVE IT!!

[ 2:24 ] NEW POSSIBLE COOKIE SHADOW MILK COOKIE!?!?!??!?!?!?!? OH MY GOD?!?!?!?!??!

0:04 omgggg finally beast-yeast and omgg slay white lily and i think in the week 2 mecry cookie will be playable and week 3 maybe fairy king too?

This feel like a dream coming true like I can’t believe I went to almost all of this beautiful story. I wonder what will be next , hope it’s not the end of the story !

I’m so excitedddd!!!!!

I just want to say thank you so much for this amazing update! You don't know how special this game is for me!❤

WHITE LILY COOKIE COMING TO CRK??

Ooooh, this looks awesome! I'm so excited for this! My niece is going to be super excited too, she keeps asking me if they're ever going to save White Lily Cookie. And the new characters are lovely! The aesthetic for this area reminds me of the Millennial Forest in OvenBreak, and now I want Lilybell Cookie and Blue Lily Cookie in Kingdom, haha. Thanks for all your hard work, devs!

This update will definitely be as good as the Dark Cacao update!! (Except the lv 80)

My 2 headcanons Headcanon 1 If White Lily came back normally and regrets, she may can’t spend time with PV and other ancients again like before, but she just can have a small or short talk with them or they have only a nodding acquaintance. After then, White Lily will tell to ancient that she is going to leave them for a while and travel all around Earthbread for picking and cleaning all mess everywhere by her since Dark Flour war with her remorse. Headcanon 2 As White Lily became Dark Enchantress once, and she owned her own influence of her friend or family like faithful 5 cookies below her, she cannot give up her throne of this satisfying life. Therefore, Dark Enchantress cookie will throw PV and Gingerbrave squads into the trap as uses her ability of illusion of her past appearance, as like as she has done before the world exploration 8-30.

I think this update will be just great.

Ok,this is already getting me teared up as what I'm seeing is,fairy king is sacrificing their life powder for white lily to wake up and more stuff r there which is just super exciting and white lily skill is spectacularly changed aaa!!! White lily lovers wishing yall luck for her and myself :3

Ive watched this 12 times already!!! This maitenance is killing me hut Devsis take your time!!

Thank you, i have been playing since the day of release and after 3 years all the ancients are released. Im so happy to be a part of this community

I have seen Shadow Milk Cookie for 0.5 seconds, and I'm already simping for him 😭

Finally!! It’s here!! Let’s go!!! ✨✨✨✨

Amazing job! Can’t wait for the update!

IT JUST WENT DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE, I'M SOOO EXCITED :OOO

Their journey and i am here for it

WHITE LILLIES SKILL LOOKS EPIC I WANT HER SO BADDD (even tho i dont have golden cheese-😭)

Thank you super much for the new up date coming out il love it❤

haven't played since the rockstar concert thingy and i decide to redownload the app and see this how much did i miss😭

0:25 A Jellybear event with new currency hmm..?

Saving up a Diamond is ready for the new update btw I'm happy that they'll add the Evil Ancient so that the game will never end and to stay strong 💪

We been waiting for this for a while now and we finally got it!!! ❤

Yoo, this is cool to watch, definitely gonna grind this update

Yay I'm finaly early this time!!

I'm SO happy she's a bomber, I have lots prepared, but I need to restock on my XP supply. I'm so excited for the 19th!

I’m excited!!!!!!!! I’ve been waiting so long!!!!

Words cannot explain how physically confused I am with white lily cookies lore😭

Ok I look at Shadow Milk Cookie and a part of me thinks Pure Vanilla Cookie own heart will be tested just out of the fear that one day he and the other ancient heroes could possibly end up like Shadow Milk Cookie and others before them considering what happened to White Lily Cookie. Just the slightest hint of fear would make Pure Vanilla Cookie anxiety go through the roof by the thought of that happening. Honestly I think Shadow Milk Cookie and probably others evil ancients will join Dark Enchantress Cookie in the war to come.

Simplemente no me arrepiento de haber empezado a jugar este juego hsce unos meses, simplemente es hermoso y tiene una historia muy bonita algo que otros juegos difícilmente han logrado tener y conseguir

Oh boy we are going deeper and I’m excited and also needing to go ham on the game and grind out

Manifesting that the Ancient fallen heros will be playable too

LORE DUMP INCOMING AND IM READY FOR THE IMPACT, ALSO, SHADOW MILK COOKIE???? OMGGGMFNFBF

Omg I’m so excited! Plus I love white lilys powers

Oh hell yeah!! We get to see a glimpse of Shadow Milk Cookie and he's a trickster oh how fun :D

OMG I loved the evil character 🤭 But I'm so happy that White Lily is finally here ❤

I don't understand this entire lore of Crk, but this update seems so insane

Thank you for all the work you have done devs❤❤

I'm so excited for the update

Thank god the Dev decided to upgrade the cookie lv to 80, can't imagine how to beat the new episode

Honestly praying Shadow Milk becomes playable

Cool to see White Lily Cookie become playable. So does this mean that Dark Enchantress is going to be her darkness given physical form from now on? Either way it looks like we’re getting the band back together just in time for a free for all with the previous Ancients and Dark Enchantress crew as the wild card. 😊 Can’t wait. 😆

I'm excited about the 3rd anniversary update but oh crumbs, level 80 cap ? Looks like I'll need to get ready to grind more xp jellies and upgrade more houses. We need more star jelly concentrates that instant upgrade a cookie to level 50/60/70 without the need of star jellies.

I’m sure this update will be amazing, thanks devsis for all your hard work!

never thought we'd get white lily cookie this early, but these are strange times

I'm so excited to play the update

Once Shadow Milk cookie comes out, I feel like he will be my favorite character.

White lily must have a new costume due to her change in skill 1:58

cant believe shes becoming playable a year after i quit, i've played since cotton cookies release and im happy for all the players able to experience this update

ILYSM DEVSIS YOUR FEEDING US GOOD 😍

After three whole years, we're finally getting all of the five ancients, and the new game modes look truly fun😭♥️

I wonder if the paws that gingerbrave basically had in his ovenbreak 2009 design will return and I am wondering if gingerbrave had been hiding those paws the entire time? because the paws that gingerbrave had were really wholesome! 🥺

1:47 HOLY HER SKILL LOOKS INSANE???

I love shadow milk cookies design i'm also definitely getting silverbell cookie and will be trying to get white lily cookie

This looks really Well Done

Devsis try to make bad update speedrun (impossible challenge)

Those filler updates is worth it, this update looks insaneeeee

1:10 oh hey, Snow White cookie is in Crk again

Wow this is amazing 😻

IM SO HAPPY WHITE LILY IS COMING OUT THIS WEEK (Also I thought pv was gonna sacrifice himself)

Wow White Lily and Golden Cheese have glow up skill meanwhile.. Dark cacao Crying no revamp skills,Frost quen crying without costume

WOOOOW white lily cookies move looks amazingggg!

Finally!! The lore is here 🥺 can't wait for the update!

The previous ancient cookies were imprisoned. How did Dark Milk Cookie escape? It still has the soul stone.😮
