Summary

A Twitter thread analyzing the character development of virtues in Cookie Run, contrasting them with ancients by exploring how being created as demigods with inherent superiority complexes prevents them from understanding normal cookie experiences, and how characters like Salt must literally experience mortality to develop genuine empathy and abandon their condescending worldviews.

Summarized by ThreadOut AI from the full thread. May miss nuance — read the thread below.

  1. #1

    I love how they kept consistent that even before their corruption, the virtues still had a gigantic ego and a condescending attitude. One of the main things that separates the virtues and the ancients is that the ancients were born as mortal cookies- 🧵

  2. #2

    that got the chance to experience a life of their own among cookie kind, to understand them, while the virtues were straight up put in the positions of demigods and worshiped since they were born, this is also why their redemptions are so tricky

  3. #3

    they cannot understand whether they could ever possibly be wrong when they have been conditioned since they were born to believe they were always right and knew better, they were literally CREATED to always be right and know better, it's there porpuse in the world

  4. #4

    How are they to teach cookiekind about cookie matters if they never got to experience what a normal cookie life is like, how can they sympathise with a comun cookies feelings or worldview if its alien to them, if a simple cookie knows more than them, why are they here?

    It makes sense that Salt is the "easier" one to reason with because his virtue literally revolves around solidarity, so he was closer to mortal cookies, and even then, he still had the ego of a mountain and had to burn his ancient alive to open his ears to her because in the end

  6. #6

    even if the ancients had their soul jams and are immortal now, they were still mortal, common cookies at one point that cannot possibly truly understand what they are talking about, and because it would literally destroy there entire believe system in a moment

  7. #7

    What they need its a conclusion like the one first salt and sugar had, that they need to get down of there pedestals and actually experience cookiehood like any normal petson to THEN be able to understand them and judge

    @Ichiflora But I do still thing she fits the definition of egotistical, she doesn't believe she's above other cookies but an equal to them, in her eyes there's no cookie more important than other, BUT thought to her also being born as a virtue that was literally created to lead others,

  9. #9

    @Ichiflora she thinks she MUST be the one to guide them one way or another, not because she feels straight up superior in any way but because she feels like it's her duty to save cookiekind from pain

    @Ichiflora This is where her ego comes in, she refuses to engage with other cookies point of view and just marks everyone who disagrees with her as "blinded", she feels like she has the authority to decide on the lives of others, because she thinks it's what best for everyone
