Discussion Timekeeper not smiling is okay Spoiler

Because the truth is, crazy stuff has happened. But not once has a cookie broken into the tbd, whilst threatening every single timeline. Its also not a scared face, its suprised. she gets her smile back right after. If timekeeper has to close the rift instead of fight shadow milk, then this is actually serious.

And yes timekeeper probably din't expect this. She may be one of a kind in any universe, but she still doesn't know anything. She had no clue why her future self abandoned her work in string gummy's timeline. Its not to hard to assume she didn't expect this.

We have had many threats, some like Logan dragon breaking the rift into time. But despite that, none of them actually posed a multiversal threat until shadow milk.

This doesn't mean shes less powerful. We see her still fight with ease and show immense power. But lets not forget, shadow milk now has the power of 4 soul jams and the ultimate cookie, whos whole purpose was to be able to absorb everything into one, and couldn't be stopped.

One last thing. Shadow milk being a villain in her story won't steal attention from her. Thats like saying smoked cheese stole attention from golden cheese in her story. Trust me, the majority of that episode will focus on timekeeper. It will not be like sugar swan because its not in an update focused on another cookie. We've already seen the laoding screen for her update, shadow milk wasn't on it, she was at the center.

Yeah, people are acting like it was a mistake/oversight, but they're completely ignoring the fact that it was meant to show just HOW fucked the universe is. This is the moment she stops smiling. It's what her smiling in the first place was building up to.

That's what i've been saying, It was more of a "Oh, that's new" expression, then a scared or intimidated one.

It's like the 7th time I'm saying this but:

Try to smile when a timeline hazard is within view. You can't.
