Sniffs you

A little visitor I see! Hi there lil guy u.u. You can play all you want in here u.u

__________

Hi to you too admin xD, I don't have much to offer today so here's a doodle of my take on a child version of Chip from a few weeks ago :0 (this design was made back in 2023, so after the April's Fools 25 version came out I stablished this one to be even younger than the canon one :0)

Not every person you interact with on the Internet is your friend. A friendship is a mutual bond. If you just like, share and comment on someone's content but they never reply back or there's no direct conversations, then there's no bond. If someone follows you but beyond liking your posts you never talk, they don't comment or you don't follow back, there's no bond either.

Partaking in an event they hosted doesn't make you friends either. If there's no bond, then it's not your business if they decide to drift away from a fandom, or stop posting on the internet at all. A stranger has no right nor authority to tell them what to do with their lives nor asking invasive questions.

They didn't meet simultaneously. First, Werewolf and Crunchy Chip met, and that is explained in a short story I posted on AO3 called "Howling". I'll include a link for you if you're interested in reading it

The story

Then Chip and Red Velvet met... In a rewrite of the Stormbringer update I did (that story was written so awfully I changed it completely for my hc lore) and that I haven't even mentioned publicly yet. It still has some stuff to polish, so I won't say more than "they started in bad terms for obvious reasons". After that encounter, Red Velvet started questioning stuff, leading to the possibility of leaving the COD. After that first event they have more encounters and there's a point when Red Velvet becomes a trusty ally for Chip.

Red Velvet also started going outside more frequently after that, so that scene from the Spring Event 2023 happened (when he organises a picnic, only Brute comes and then they meet Werewolf). That canon scene is the first encounter between them.

Chip mentioned Werewolf to Red Velvet without saying his name directly back in that first encounter, so in one moment of mutual "I should introduce you to this guy" and then realising they both knew the same guy they didn't have any trouble hanging out all together.

I grew fond of him very quickly when he was released! He's stoic but a caring soul and the fact that he got in such cute situations (aka weighing the souls of every single Black Raisin crow and all the duplicates jackals from that Mozzarella story) while still keeping the stoic attitude makes it extra funny xD.

I finally got to introduce him to the shenanigans once I confirmed he was revived off screen during the Awakened Golden Cheese update! (Even if I drew this on Christmas holiday).

You'll notice he speaks a different language in the last pannel of the regular story. His ingredient is Basque Cheesecake, and as the name says, that recipe is from the Basque Country, a Spanish region. Its known for having its own language, that is even more ancient than Spanish: Euskera. Because of his ingredient I gave him the quirk of knowing how to speak Euskera. I mean, they finally made some kind of reference to Spain in Cookie Run, I had to take the chance.

Forgot to mention: of course I hit him with the werecreature beam. I made him a werejackal

I didn't share any doodles here, but along ClottedChip I also grabbed a liking for Chip and Madeleine as a pair. But those shipps were by influence of someone I'm not friends with anymore. I liked them because they influenced me to do so. But outside said pairings, Madeleine and Clotted Cream aren't two characters that grab my interest. During the time I liked said shipps, I only thought about those two for romantic stuff. I don't want to keep doing that.

Red Velvet would very probably dislike him for many reasons:

1: How Butter Roll treats Matcha. She's his sister and he cares about her. He's constantly making cakes and loves them all equally even if some come out "defective". Moreover, he's also different, even though in his case is more physical rather than psychological. From all people in the COD, Red Velvet wouldn't ignore nor treat badly Matcha because of being the way she is, so I think they would actually have a kinda close bond as siblings (Dark Enchantress adopted Red Velvet and Matcha was artificially created by her, so they're basically siblings xD).

So Matcha would actually open to Red Velvet and complain about how Butter Roll treats her, and also rant about many other stuff they don't tell him to keep him updated

2: Butter Roll feels like a replacement for him. As we know, Red Velvet is most of his time in the Tower, with zero contact with the outside world + the cakes are starting to fail more. So Dark Enchantress needed a new baker, a better one, and specifically one that knew about baking Cookies artificially (Cookies can only bake other cookies by using their own dough, aka they can only bake their children, probably because their own dough is the only source of life powder they have, but they can't create living Cookies from scratch). Yeah, Butter Roll specializes in creating homunculi :0. Dark Enchantress would probably want Red Velvet to be as ignorant of how things actually work in the outside world as she can, so she wouldn't even tell her Butter Roll being around is now a thing (Matcha is the one who ends telling him)
