"We are used to such. Power is... Caramel Arrow Cookie describes it as... 'iffy'. The subjects are healthy. They are strong, and proud."

Golden Cheese Cookie @desertsovereign.bsky.social · May 7

That would explain it! I do hope you as well as all your denizens are well after such a disaster! :(

I assume you have not been kept up to date on my posts, so I will so lindlyinform you! I and a small band of supporters have been rebuilding my kingdom outside of the virtual! From scratch!

If anything? I may be putting in more footwork for my kingdom than you are for yours nowadays!

Golden Cheese Cookie @desertsovereign.bsky.social · May 7

I have found myself skipping my own breaks and forgoing rest to in favor of working on this project of mine, and noticed myself acting quite sour and stern! Just yesterday, I had been sounding quite similar to your mumblings about snowstorms!

That being said, you still need rest! (I do too!)

@resoluteruler.bsky.social I, golden sovereign, would like to ~oh so humbly~ take back anything I may have said in the past about your tone, grumbliness, and stern demeanor, for I believe I have come to better understand your perspective in these recent months.

"Unfortunately, the melting point is too low for it to be suitable. It is why I had set my kingdom up here, in the frozen tundra. It will melt at 32° Celsius."
[ Cacao sighs. ]
"Perhaps I can assist in finding other materials."

Golden Cheese Cookie @desertsovereign.bsky.social · Apr 24

As you may have noticed, there is some SERIOUS construction taking place in my kingdom, and I figured with all the faith you put in it, should it be able to withstand the desert summers, that it would be an excellent accent to my kingdom's golden colors!

Ohhhh @resoluteruler.bsky.social!! dear friend of mine!!! Do tell, what is the melting point of the chocolate you use to reinforce those grand walls of yours?

[ Cacao does understand the importance, but he simply cannot find time for it . He's always struggled with time management. ]

Golden Cheese Cookie @desertsovereign.bsky.social · Apr 22

Yes yes, that much I understand, believe it or not I also have been tending to my own. Quite busily so.
But finding time to enjoy something and reset yourself for the next task is just as important! Do take care of yourself, my dear friend.

Golden Cheese Cookie @desertsovereign.bsky.social · Apr 22

You do make a fair point, but must you ALWAYS be so unmoving and resolute?

Us old heroes absolutely NEED to plan some leisure time together, whenever we find a moment of peace.

"Alas, I cannot. For if the Wall is breached by the threats from the Licorice Sea, my people may crumble. And the threats from Beast Yeast still persist, for I have heard rumors that two more Beasts have yet to emerge."

"I must stay. The Wall crumbled in hours the last time it fell. If a Beast attacks, it will fall in mere minutes. As much as I want to, I cannot."

Golden Cheese Cookie @desertsovereign.bsky.social · Apr 22

All the more reason to catch a break before the opportunity passes! Surely your most well-trained-and-honorable know how to handle themselves for a couple of days!
