I have the curse of comparing media, and so I have made comparison between eren and other characters who seek freedom
I think there’s a comparison to be made with eren Yeager and cookie run kingdoms dark enchantress cookie/white Lilly cookie (holder of the light of freedom”
(The two cookies are the same cookie , just split into )
even though I haven’t watched attack on titan since it ended , I remember eren doing an Aizen Sasuke from bleach and basically wrote his own tale ., he could see the past, future and influence it , and apparently thought All out destruction will grant them all freedom ,
I suppose living in a world where you live on a secluded island but the mainlanders want You all dead is quite unfortunate
die a hero, or live long enough To see yourself become the villain I suppose
Still am annoyed that the Titan tree still exists basically voiding absolutely everything that happened,
anyway
forgive me that I don’t remember too much about eren and his philosophy, I just know he thought the rumbling was the only answer, or something
the following is exact text from the game , make do with it what you will
White Lilly talking to her counterpart silent salt - the former salt of solidarity , the now beast of silence
White lilly-
“ I thought only I had what it takes to travel here.”
| thought that only I can endure the magic from the times before creation.
That I can't let anyone else fall victim to its relentless force.
In the end, both of us are myself.
I believed that just like I swore to wrestle cookies from the cruel principles of nature, I alone could grant them true freedom.”
silent salt- “And you still believe?”
White Lilly -“no- I was wrong.”
“ I was arrogant. I convinced myself I was different from other cookies.
I let myself believe that I'm more than a foolish, imperfect, burnt cookie who caused so much pain and suffering.”
Silent salt- “Your self-chastisement will not save you.
White Lilly -“Say what you will, this is all a part of my quest”
“ It doesn't matter. Really, freedom is not what one can grant. “
“True freedom comes when every cookie finds the strength to confront their destiny.”
“ An emissary of the divines, a hungry beggar, even one whose past is marred with ashes.”
“All deserve a chance for freedom.”
“ And if I was born of my own volition, I will guide Cookie Kind to a place where freedom awaits.
Meanwhile dark enchantress cookie believed in giving the ultimate cookie the power to destroy the world , all in the name of her ideal future of freedom , free from the clutches of the witches
“It was foolish of me to try to make you cookies understand.
After all, you don't even know the reason for your existence.
Now, I see that your lives are nothing but a waste. I shall ground you all to
crumbs and throw you into the ultimate oven.
This is your fate. The freedom I bestow upon you.
Embrace it with joy.!”
“This form is merely meant to end this unjust world and usher in a new era.
When the time comes, cookies will finally live in a world where humans no longer exist.
A new world where cookies can be truly free. A paradise for all cookie kind.
“ I shall become more terrifying than any witch.
Once the ultimate cookie is created with the witch's magic, they will change the very idea of who eats cookies and who becomes eaten.
Now, stop being a nuisance and spend some time with my precious pets while I warm up my ultimate oven.
I suppose it won't hurt to show you a glimpse of the new world that awaits.
Countless souls and does all merged into one will become the ultimate cookie body.
Yet even completed, the ultimate cookie will keep consuming life energy until all becomes one.
In other words, the ultimate cookie is destined to transcend all limits and gain infinite power.
Yes, you shall nourish the ultimate cookie, laying the foundation for a new world.
Consider it an honor.
And one day, the cookies across the seas will join you.
Wielding absolute power, my creation will surpass all cookies that have ever existed, even the witches.
preposterous.
When the time comes, cookies will finally [music] live in a world where humans no longer exist.
A new world where cookies can be truly free. A paradise for all kind”
And when dark enchantress was defeated
-
Dark c- “No, no, no. Impossible. My dreams, the freedom I longed for.”
White l- “Even if your journey ends here, the freedom you dreamed of will live on.”
Cookie kind will live on with us in the past.”
And someday they will find a better path to true freedom.”
Dark c-True freedom. …
But even if they succeed, even if this dream bears fruit,
we will never live to see that world as we will cease to exist here. “
“And you accept it?”
Have you forgotten the hopelessness we felt at the banquet of the witches? The horror of being trapped in the dough.”
“To vanish, clutching that despair without a chance to touch this true freedom.”
Is that not the crulest fate of all?”
While l- “| long to see it, too.
a world of freedom where all truths come to light.
But that doesn't give us the right to treat Cookie lives as means to any of our goals.
I believe that ending our journey here will become the foundation of Cookie Kind's freedom. We've committed far too many sins and mistakes. I will accept my fate and I will erase you from existence.
This is our atonement rot.!”
Dark c- Oh, my body is crumbling.
Just like that day when I lost myself inside that dough.
What could have gone wrong?
Where did I make a mistake?
The freedom I yearned for so desperately.
In the end,
I never even reached its edges.
What was it that I missed?
And white lilies final message.
“My dear friends, everyone, I leave to you the freedom I yearned for in the future of this world.
I returned to the embrace of nature, seeking forgiveness for my sins.
I once used to be consumed by curiosity about the meaning of life and the fear of its futility.
For a chance to learn the truth, I cast everything aside. I wandered the world in search of answers.
In those travels, my freedom lost its light and fell into silence, leaving my heart filled with rage towards the lying gods and resentment towards our fates.
Thus began my quest for greater power.
I vowed to let go of all attachments to achieve it.
Consumed by an endless thirst for something beyond my reach, my life was filled with anguish and visions of doom.
But fate granted me another chance.
Once again, I opened my eyes in an ancient forest.
When I was shackled by despair and guilt, a cookie approached me.
Looking at that cookie, I wondered how a fragile being created from divine whim could be so carefree in this world full of pain and uncertainty.
But this cookie smiled and told me this.
A tasty jelly could brighten his day, and running with friends would fill his heart with hope for tomorrow.
He believed that our choices shape the world we live in.
More and more cookies gathered around this cookie, drawn to his radiant glow of freedom.
Together, they illuminated the path to liberation for countless others.
Even my dear friends who lost their light and endless despairfound the courage to shine again and move forward.
Indeed, this world is built upon endless possibilities and choices. Abundant yet chaotic, beautiful yet meaningless.
There are times of peace. There are times of fear.
Small yet mighty, all those cookies embrace themselves and their choices as they are, cherishing their beliefs, supporting one another.
As I watched them, I felt like the answer I'd been desperately searching for all my life had started to take shape.
I couldn't find this answer in the gods that I sought, having abandoned everything else.
But I found it in those cookies and sense true freedom at last.
Because of them, I felt the light of freedom shine within me once again.
And I promised myself to never lose this precious light again.
Those countless lights of different hues shining in your hearts.
Those dazzling lights that truly make our world beautiful.
I wanted to protect them with all my heart.
My friends, what does freedom mean to you?
By meeting you, my light was restored.
And I hope that each one of you finds a light of their own.
Just like countless stars shine across different times and spaces, together our lights create a brilliant tapestry.
As I'm fading away, I hope I hope that the light I've kindled will remain in this world, shining bright for years to come.
May our world we share shine bright forever more.”
Pure vanilla-No, white lily cookie, please. No.
White Lilly - “pure vanilla cookie.
It was you who taught me to see beauty and feel love for this world. Even when I kept away from everyone, you did it by simply being here.
Thank you for reaching out to me, for guiding me back into the sun.
Thank you for giving me the courage to seek forgiveness.
Those precious moments were my guiding light.
Even in the darkest night when I lost my way, it always guided me back home.
What a relief to finally tell you this.
My one and only precious friend”
all this bc I watched one video of eren seeing the future for the first time LMAO
i would say , dark c and eren are a lot alike, both thought destruction was the answer, and both payed the price for it
