![]() ![]() He truly is comforting for me, and eases my mind when I’m feeling down. So that’s why I pretty much had the NEED to make a plushie of him. I just want to hug the adorable hoo-hoo boy! He looks sleepy even when he’s excited and it’s just so charming. I’ve always found drooping, mild eyes to be incredibly adorable, and Herb’s eyes are no exception. ![]() My most favorite trait about him, though, is his sleepy eyes. He’s really good-looking and like I said, his hair is whimsical and adorable. I already mentioned his voice earlier but I feel like I should touch a little bit upon his looks as well as they are part of the big picture. There’s also Herb’s looks and voice, of course, though those are less important. ![]() I loved anything that reminded me of Blossom or the Sprout Channel - kinda like how I love anything that reminds me of ALT or BEMANI now - so when I first met Herb Cookie he pretty much hit me right in the nostalgic feels. Blossom was such a big comfort character for me, helped peak my interest in gardening, and played a big role in helping shape my identity. I became addicted to a Lalaloopsy character named Blossom Flowerpot around that time, and Herb is basically like the male version of her. His leaf hair is reminiscent of the “found objects/organic” vibe both franchises had, and two of the shows on Sprout from my childhood (Fifi and the Flowertots, Dirtgirlworld) just “radiate his energy”. Herb Cookie just has.a pre-2015 Sprout Channel and Lalaloopsy-like aesthetic to him, the aesthetic that defined my childhood. It might have even been present before then, since around 2008 when I first watched the Sprout Channel, which pretty much fit that criteria to a T for the most part. I’ve always loved springy, fresh, nature and garden-themed things like himself ever since 2012-2013, when I was in my Lalaloopsy phase. Even though I only first met Herb in June 2018, he seems like the kind of character I’d become attached to in the past as he’s very much like my past self. ![]() The second yet probably just-as-important reason as to why I’ve taken such an affinity towards Herb is because.well, to me he’s rather nostalgic. (Let’s not forget the “Whoa!” sound he makes when the sun starts to shine~) It’s truly charming and indicative of his personality. And when he jumps, his “Uh-huh!” noises are so soft and sweet, as if he’s agreeing with you. When you enter his garden, he probably greets you with a friendly “Hoo-hoo!”, just like he does when he slides. He’s innocent and friendly, and I feel his voice and sounds match his personality and character well. He calls you an amazing friend, his special someone, and claims you’re as dazzling as the sun. In fact, he’s nice to you throughout the game. He’s not the kind of cookie to be mean or to judge. He might only be a living dessert but he’s very polite, warm, and always looks at the sunny side - if he were real, he’d be someone I’d want to hang out with on the daily. He believes the little things in life that make you laugh or cry are to be cherished, just like a ray of sunshine after the rain” in his bio, I immediately started to develop such a liking towards him. When reading his bio and seeing the lines “Warm like the sunshine and fresh like the scent of rain, Herb Cookie will ease your mind when you're feeling down,” and “This Cookie treats all living things and each and every moment as precious. While other male characters are so preoccupied with being cool, tough, a “ladies’ man”, or edgy, Herb is just extremely caring and charming. (And even then, Herb has a more fleshed-out personality than Nico.) He’s pure-hearted, genuinely good, and deserves to be protected. It is rare to come across male characters in fiction like him, and I’ve never met any like him since I met Nico back in 2015 or so. The first, and probably the most important, reason why Herb grew on me - no pun intended - so much is his personality. The reason why he’s my favorite boy in Cookie Run is like an ogre. It's not just his adorable looks, his hoo-hoo sounds, or his sweet voice. I really do, and there's many reasons as to why I love him so much. ![]()
