Dark choco cookie x milk cookie fan kid plz

This is like my 2nd oldest unfinished request by now, over a year old, but I got it done finally, this is Choco Milk Cookie

So to be honest, I’m not sure what gender Choco Milk is. They started out as a guy, but as it went on and as I look at the final product, I’m not so sure anymore. I’m making them nonbinary then

Anyways, so Choco Milk lives in the Milk Village, and they work in building construction, in part due to their incredible strength (and because they want to help people by giving them homes). They do work outside of the village and help around any parts of the kingdom, whoever needs it

They’re a very calm individual, not having much of a temper. They also don’t fight, though they can throw a punch if needed

While they like chocolate milk, their favorite food is the hot cheese soup from the Milk Village, which they are enjoying in the sketch. They enjoy cheese in general, they say it goes very well with chocolate

Choco Milk was supposed to have a twin, named Milk Choco, but I didn’t end up making them, I could only think of stuff for Choco Milk. Though maybe one day I’ll draw Milk Choco, I’m not opposed to Chilk still having a twin

The names Choco Milk and Milk Choco came from the fact that both can come from a combination of milk and chocolate. There’s no real elaborate thought to their ingredients

Chocolate milk:

So I recognize that Choco Milk’s colors, on the surface, aren’t the most similar to their parents, with the light brown hair and eyes. I was mostly basing their color scheme on Milk’s chocolate costume in Kingdom. And I made their eyes like that because they’re a milk Cookie, even if they’re also chocolate. Tried to give them a more red tint though

I also added in those white streaks to reference Dark Choco. I think it works as a pop of bright color

The hair was giving me trouble at the front, but I think I got something all right out of it? The back of their hair is supposed to be a mullet, sort of like what Brock Samson has

I also made Choco Milk’s outfit brown instead of the blue/white of the Milk Tribe, but it works with them being chocolate. Probably makes them stand out in the village though

I do wonder if their outfit looks too similar to White Velvet. Whom I now realize I never fully finished or posted. Should go back and do that. But I bring it up since they both have the poncho and live in the Milk Village. And are both supposed to have the milk eyes. Maybe I should change that on White Velvet, not sure

But anyways, I think that’s about it on Choco Milk. I think they turned out pretty all right

And yeah, hope you like them!

Okay I know I wanted this specific blog to be more objective when it comes to ships, but this is ship related and I need to actually use this blog more

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

Not necessarily to bash people who ship carachoco, but because I must share my knowledge with all, whether you want it or not
