I Hate Being Seen As A Child - Tumblr Posts

Why do people keep saying Milky Way is a child?

(Spoilers for Last Cookie Standing ahead)

Okay, I gotta get this off my chest. I've seen so many people treating Milky Way Cookie like she's a child because she's short, adorable, and has a cute voice, and I'm fully convinced that these people have paid zero attention to her as a character.

Let me explain.

I mean Cookie Run Kingdom is a little fantastical, but why would the very serious entities in charge of the Dream Express hire an actual child to work full time in a job that is extremely dangerous for anyone who isn't properly trained?

Furthermore, you can tell in her voice lines that she's a cynical, slightly disillusioned young adult. You would be too if you were used to traversing the universe and experiencing peril on a daily basis. Even in Last Cookie Standing, her main goal on the show is to win the prize so she can retire early. That's it. No grand plans. She just wants to be financially stable for the rest of her life.

Also on that note, if she was a child, she wouldn't have even been allowed on Last Cookie Standing- Strawberry Crepe lied about their age to get onto the show, and that got them disqualified. Aside from them, the rest of the cast are adult cookies only, with Tea Knight being the eldest. If there was any issue with any other contestants being underage, they would've been disqualified around the same time as Strawberry Crepe.

I think some people have forgotten that short adults exist and the characters have varying heights. In fact, there are other short adult cookies in both Kingdom and Ovenbreak:

- Crunchy Chip

- Alchemist

- Carrot

- Beet

- Olive

- Prophet

- Fettuccine

Just because she's short and cute doesn't mean she's a kid!

- Mala Sauce

- Roll Cake

- Lilybell

- Macron

- Ice Juggler
