Let’s Just Talk About Cookie Run Ships

So just to preface, this isn’t about critiquing ships or giving personal opinions on them, as I don’t really feel qualified to do so. Instead, this is just me wanting to know more about the ships of Cookie Run since there are so many, and hopefully other people will learn things too

Now I should probably talk about how the blog’ll work

Okay so first off, it can be a ship from Kingdom, Ovenbreak, or any Cookie Run game really. Heck, if you want to throw in the comics, go ahead

So either I’ll make a post where I list a ship, wanting to know either the origins of the ship (either how it came to be or how you came to ship it, if you want to), the appeal of the ship, or the dynamic of the characters in the ship

You can do so in whatever form you want to, whether it be in the comments or reblogs, I don’t mind either. Or you can answer in the form of an ask or submission if you want to as well

You can ask for a ship instead if you want, I’ll just post the ask and hopefully let other people answer your curiosity (as again, I don’t feel too qualified to answer myself)

Normally, I’ll tag in the ships I talk about in posts, as well as just the main Cookie Run tags, but for this one I won’t since it’s just the guidelines

Now let’s get into some rules

No ships that include adults with minors, and along with that no incest

Also for the sake of this let’s not do crossovers or pairings with ocs. I don’t imagine that’ll be one people pick but thought I should say so regardless

I also hope I don’t have to say this, but let’s not attack people in the notes for ships. We’re just here to learn and have a good time

What age do we say Candlelight Cookie is? Like where do they fall in the interpretation, are they a child or adult?

I know with Candlelight, it isn’t as obvious as with other characters, since they’re short, but not inherently as childlike as other short characters. But they also aren’t clearly an adult either, and I wouldn’t say any of their qualities go any one way

Anyways, on to the topic, there's something I've noticed when it comes to two particular Dark Choco ships

So most of us know about the whole darkmilk age debate that goes on, or at least that it was a thing. I may not personally ship it, but I think by this point I can acknowledge that it doesn't hold as much water as a problem as I initially thought

Yes, when the first two met, as shown in at least CRK, Milk was a child, while Dark Choco was at best a teenager, and those are two very different age groups. However, it has also been stated that the two have not met, at least not in any sort of meaningful way, since then, and currently, the two are adults. By this point in their lives, their age difference isn't really a problem, especially because at the only point where it potentially could be, they only met once. It was profound for Milk at least, and Dark Choco does remember it, but there is no issue of their potential romance starting there. Admittedly it might be a little weird, particularly since they semi-remember each other, but it isn't wildly problematic

But do you know what Dark Choco ship this argument actually would stand a genuine problem for? Carachoco

This really may not be a big deal since the ship isn't super popular, as the far more common headcanon is to make them siblings/family, but it is still a ship I've seen at least one or two people ship

But getting back to the point, we have been told multiple times that Dark Choco was the one to teach Caramel Arrow to use a bow. We also know that Cookies of the Dark Cacao Kingdom start learning to wield weapons as children due to their harsh environment, meaning that Carrow would have likely been a child, or at least a young teenager by this point. And if Dark Choco was made to be her mentor, he was presumably old enough, and older than her, so that he was considered qualified to do so, being a teenager at best. So for them, there is again, a noticeable age gap at the time they would have first met

But unlike darkmilk, whom only would have met that one time, Carrow and Dark Choco would have met many more times than just that one. Not to mention, Carrow is a Watcher at the Black Citadel Dark Choco lived in, and would presumably be training to do so at this time. So, these two would have extended time to get to know each other, and wouldn't have much reason to be apart for extended periods of time, at least until Dark Choco's banishment, and we don't know how old either party was at that time, other than Dark Choco presumably ranging from teenager-young adult (and likely the latter). And quite honestly, even if you make it after his banishment, it's still awfully sketchy for Dark Choco to fall in love with his former student

Carachoco actually does have the age difference problem darkmilk supposedly has, it's just that it isn't as noticeable since Caramel Arrow's age difference with Dark Choco isn't really stated, just implied on occasion

I realize that this is probably unnecessary, especially since carachoco isn't a popular ship and the darkmilk discourse does seem to be mostly behind us, and maybe this is just dredging up things best left to rest. But this is something I remembered, and I just wanted to share this info with you so more people know
