So, I couldn’t tell you exactly why I fell in love with Pitaya Dragon Cookie. I could share a rough timeline of how this all started, though. When I was like seventeen, I booted up Cookie Run: Ovenbreak and I saw them on the list of Legendary Cookies I could pull. I was immediately fascinated with their design, but I had to look up what a pitaya was. After googling, my first thought was holy shit, a dragon fruit dragon, that’s clever as fuck.
Every single time I saw a dragon fruit I was like “dude there was a really cool cookie in cookie run based off of that” much to the dismay of probably everyone around me. I didn’t know a lick of their personality, their story, I didn’t know a damn thing about them other than them being non-binary and cool as hell. I also had a tiny crush on them at first, but it was the type of surface level crush a person would usually have on characters; what I didn’t know was what was to come.
I stopped playing Cookie Run until March of 2024, where my friend was really excited about a Cookie Run: Kingdom update and asked me and my other friends to join them in the new MMO-like hub. My friend group in call installed the game, if not opened their already downloaded copy to join. Peer pressure is a bitch, of course I reinstalled. I had so many gems from not opening the game in three years, I had to use them all to gamble!
All of the sudden, part of one of my ten pulls was that aforementioned pink son of a gun, Pitaya themself. I was really excited that they were playable in Kingdom, given that they were my favorite Ovenbreak exclusive. I was also excited to actually hear their voice for the first time as well, as Kingdom has voice acting while Ovenbreak doesn’t. I quite like their voice, I think it’s the most fitting for them and that their English voice actor, Andrew Morgado, did a great job. During my first few days of playing CRK again, I regained my fascination with them and would say things like “hahah… i like this guy :)” I thought they were cute, silly, all of that… but I started thinking about them even when I wasn’t playing. I first had an insatiable urge to draw them, like one does with their favorite characters. I then gained the insatiable urge to draw them and I together; self-ship art as the kids call it these days. That’s when I realized, this was at the very least a crush. I went on YouTube to look up every cut-scene they ever appeared in to learn more about Pitaya Dragon Cookie because I was so interested in them. I never thought I would get back into Cookie Run lore at the big age of nineteen, yet there I was.
I assumed the crush would run its course, I would just let myself enjoy it for a month and move on. However, not only were there updates back-to-back in Ovenbreak that involved them (literally there being biweekly story updates from April 29th to June 11th of 2024!!) that made me fall deeper in love with them, but even after those updates ended, I noticed the feelings were still there. I kept waiting for them to fizzle, but the only thing that has changed is that they’re no longer my every waking thought due to not only going back to indulging in my other interests but me handling increasing adult responsibilities (such as college and all that). Yet, I still get excited just looking at them and implode every time I hear their Kingdom voice. I only play Cookie Run every now and then for my own sanity (you can only handle so much P2W mobile gaming before thebrain rot settles in), yet… I still think about Pitaya Dragon Cookie a lot. I still love them. Much more than I’ve ever loved any fictional character in the past. Yet, they get little to no updates involving them in Kingdom (i got giddy about Pitaya’s slightest buff in Kingdom for crying out loud), but they at least get mentioned in Ovenbreak every now and then, as well as involved in every “all the cookies are here” event. I am very patiently waiting for not only for if they appear in Kingdom again, but also patiently waiting for when Ovenbreak’s dragon story gets off of its hiatus.
TL;DR: Pitaya Dragon Cookie is my fictional wife (gender neutral) and I love them very, very much!
While I say a lot that I cannot possibly describe why I'm so in love with them, I actually am capable of getting into it somewhat.
They have a lot of physical traits that make them just my type of blorbo. I love their huge head of hair and I can only imagine that it's incredibly soft other than the seeds littered throughout. Characters with a comical amount of hair tend to be my favorites.
Another thing I love about them is just how unabashedly themself they are. They don't hold their tongue on anything and are practically shameless. I myself am incredibly shy—I have to fight myself every single day on whether I should be expressive or make people think I'm cool, so that is a trait of theirs I massively envy.
They also are very passionate about their beliefs and once they start fighting for something, they won't back down as they have an incredible amount of persevearance, something else I envy greatly.
And I don't know how to explain it but. God. Everything about them is sooooo cute. Their face, their wings, their voice, their hissy lisp, I get cuteness agression every single time I see or hear them. My love my darling my dearest—I could just go on forever and ever.
Pitaya Dragon Cookie just has numerous qualities I adore and I have to remind myself that they were not a self-pandering OC I made and are in fact part of the running Cookie game that I quite enjoy even seperately from them.
Glad you asked! She's Creme Choco Cookie, my Cookie-sona that I use to insert into some good old ship-art. She is designed after Creme Chocolate sandwhiches, as that is her main ingredient.
I use her to represent myself in drawings where I just want to draw me and Pitaya being romantic with eachother. As Pitaya Dragon Cookie is fictional, I can't give them all the love and affection that I wish to (unfortunately), so my Cookie-sona exists to bridge that gap between fiction and reality. Like, I might not be able to give Pitaya a little kiss, but she can!
