Why doesn't she just accept this design for Kronies already?

Possible Yab given it originated from 4chan.

She used takobro's thumbnail with them for the 3rd Frostpunk stream, so doubt thats the reason

A big difference between using art for one stream and having the designs be a permanent fixture for you.

your rrat is too boring, I prefer mine about wanting to retain emotional distance by not making us into cute clock automatons

Council mascot plushes come out
Kronii herself buys dozens of little plush clocks to keep her company

please no

They finally arrived
Two dozens of small boxes were lined up against the wall
Kronii took one and carefully unpacked it
in her hand rested a tiny plush of a kronie, with a clovk for the head, wearing a thick winter coat and some accessories
She stared at it for moment, her feel8ngs in turmoil
She was tempted to just throw them into the trash and light them on fire, her last chance to save herself from the emotional pain
But the longer she stared at the cute, little push resting innocently in her hand, the more her heart melted, until a single tear ran down her cheek
Soon all the boxes were unpacked and kronies were lining her room
On shelves, on her table, and couple on her bed, the small clocks stood their silent guard
Kronii laid down and covered herself in her weighted blanket, taking one of them and holding it up i to the air, staring at it judgemently
"Why would choose to watch me, you dumb kronie? Thats teribble way to spend your precious free time..."
Another tear appeared as she hugged the plush tightly to her chest, her consciousness slowly sliding to sleep

Cute, and I mean you with all the typos that indicate you rushed this out with excitement.

Yeah... I typed out on my phone while working, so its bit rushed
KRONII I AM SHITPOSTING ON COMPANY TIME LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
