#velvetgatto

[quibbs126]

For the fan kid thingy, can I get a velvetgatto? (Affogato x red velvet)

Finally…after an eternity (about 6 months, which Jesus that’s a long time), he is finished. Zuccotto Cookie

So his name. Zuccotto is basically like an ice cream cake, so a combination of Red Velvet’s cake and Affogato’s ice cream. Also, it’s Italian, like affogato. I vaguely recall the name giving me trouble at first, until I realized cake and ice cream was a valid combination and got this

Zuccotto:

So I had his design sketched out like a month ago, and I think I recall telling you all that I couldn’t figure out how to make his design work. I had left the design I made and just went and did something else, and then today I was looking for something to draw and I said “yeah the design looks fine, don’t know why I didn’t like it” and just drew that

But also this means that I don’t remember all the reasons for his design details, most notably the staff

I mean, I know I based it off the staffs some of the Cake Monsters have, specifically the Pomegranate shamans or whatever they were called. I also know originally I was trying to make it a spork, but I couldn’t get it to look good, so I switched to the other staff. But I admit, it looks a bit out of place. I mean, I changed some of the colors at the end to match it, but I think it still looks off. But I’m not going through the effort of making a new one, I remember that staff being a pain

Anyways, so I think I was trying to give Zuccotto a style more befitting a shaman, but also with a more modern twist to emulate Red Velvet. I think I did it well

But one thing that was a real struggle was the colors, because I had no clue what to do for them. In my mind he had a black and red color scheme, and that’s how I had it at first, but I was having difficulty with putting the reds next to each other, and I changed some of the colors at the end to match the staff, and I think it worked out fine in the end

I feel like he looks too similar to Affogato, at least without colors (I felt that when I was drawing the sketch). But maybe I just need to take some time away from him and come back to really know. He probably doesn’t look as similar as I think

Also I’m just realizing that considering he’s not made of a food that contains coffee, he probably shouldn’t have dilated pupils, but like, both Red Velvet and Affogato have some form of them, so shhh

Anyways, so let’s move on to him

So Zuccotto is part of the Cookies of Darkness (assuming they stay for a long time and/or there’s a new group), and he’s some sort of Cake Shaman, summoning Cake Monsters to do his bidding. Though he has a great respect for Cakes and see them as equals. He’s not necessarily a bad guy, but he’s very loyal to the Cookies of Darkness and has no inclination to leave, feeling that normal Cookies have no respect for Cakes

I can imagine him playing cards or chess with the Cake Monsters, or at least the ones with hands

Now one of the other main things I have for him is his relationship with Licorice Cream, a darklico fankid I did some time ago, and whom you can see in the sketch (it’s supposed to be a recreation of that Toy Story meme). Basically my idea is that they’re both part of the CoD and they’re this duo within the group. Zuccotto is the straight man that gets dragged along into Licorice Cream’s antics and tries to stay the voice of reason. I said in my head that they have a dynamic similar to Mule and Sonia from Berserk, but also it’s been a while since I’ve read the chapters with them, and my mind may have branched off from that initial dynamic. But basically it’s “weird girl and normal dude who has no clue what she’s on about”. Actually that’s probably not accurate, I just don’t know how to describe Sonia, so sorry to those who haven’t read Berserk and don’t know what I’m talking about

Zuccotto’s also generally the more mature of the two, despite Licorice Cream being older (Zuccotto’s like a teenager while LC is an adult)

I feel like I should have more, but really those are the only two bits I have on him, I don’t think he’s that complicated. But I might have more to say about him when I redo Licorice Cream, since I have a better idea of what to do with her now, and they are rather close

But yeah, that’s Zuccotto Cookie, hope you like him and that maybe he was worth the wait!

do you guys see my vision

For the ship ask game, velvetgatto or kiwiroll

Velvetgato:

I think in a previous ask I said I had to rotate the pair in my head and now that I’ve done that, I can kinda get behind it.

While it may not seem like it, I think Red Velvet can definitely be someone who can bring out the best in Affogato. And once Affogato is cool around the cake hounds, Red picks out a cake pup for Affogato to take cate of (who then becomes the most spoiled cake hound in earthbread).

Kiwiroll:

Kiwiroll is a ship that im definitely mixed on due to it’s controversy back in the day. But I think it’s in the clear to ship without the fandom dogpiling you so with that said:

I think it alright. I especially like the dynamic their circuit costumes have.

RED. VELVET. COOKIE.

(also whats your opinion on velvetgatto, rv x affogato)

Red Velvet Cookie!!! <3

-when he was first conceived in the oven his arm had already fallen off, which is why he wasn’t bleeding jam or anything when DE found him

-when DE gave him his monster arm he honestly hated it at first, but didn’t want to tell her because a. she did just save his life, and b. he was scared of her

-the arm gives him serious cramps in his muscles and his posture was all wack for the first few years

-the arm still give him cramps, but he’s learned how to mange them and he’s also practiced fixing his posture

-sleeping is still a nightmare for him though, most positions are very uncomfortable because of his arm

-his eye had become corrupted because of his mix of cake and cookie genetics, the corrupted eye works of that of a cake hound’s. It’s like one eye has normal cookie vision and the other one has hound vision.

-now that he’s older, red velvet has gained a lot of respect and appreciation for DE, even going as far as to see her as sort of a parental figure

-during one of his trips to the witches oven to bake more cakes for the army, one of the cakes didn’t turn out quite as strong as he needed it to be. it was the “runt” of the litter if you will

-red velvet knew that if he sent the cake into battle it most surely wouldn’t survive, so he decided to raise it himself (kinda like how DE took pity on him)

-of course this cake hound is Chiffon, and Red Velvet loves him very dearly

-he will make sure Chiffon is fed the most quality pet food and is taken on walks every single day, red velvet has a strict routine for him he would follow to his grave

Now for my honest opinion on velvetgatto (Red Velvet x Affogato):

I cant really say that I like it. I headcanon Red Velvet to be a very young adult (about 19) since he was a child when he joined DE, and I headcannon Affogato to be on the older side (about 45) so my in my fanon this ship would be uhhhh- not great..

BUT. If you headcannon Affogato as younger then I have no problems with you shipping it! Just know that it isn’t my cup of tea. ☕️

[sammywolfgirl]

ok velvetgatto (red velvet x Affogato) and firekeeper (the eeper x fire spirit)

Oh ones I haven’t heard of this should be good.

Okay red velvet and affogato? Ehhhh kind of meh about it. Maybe with the right characterization it could be cute or fun but with how I write the two? They wouldn’t get along that well. Maybe if I read a solid fic about it I could change my mind but I don’t have any strong reason to so…. Probably won’t lol.

Fire keeper has a fun name lol give it that! I can see the appeal, two chaotic gods causing problems together. I think I vaguely remember seeing a fic about that? Now that I think about it? No strong feelings about it, I don’t ship it but could be fun. I can see them as friends at least

[hauntedaether]

[bornsexyesterday]

velvetgatto (red velvet x Affogato) and firekeeper (fire spirit and the eeper)

velvetgatto is okay im not a big fan but their colors look sooo good when paired w/ eachother they r aestheticly pleasing

I don't really ship Fire Spirit with anyone bc I know he would be bitchless and he's a manbaby but I'm not against any of his ships

[walnutcookie]

velvetgatto (red velvet x Affogato) and firekeeper (fire spirit and the eeper

velvetgatto,, not rlly a big fan of affogato tbh but i think rv is neat, kinda neutral on the ship HXBSJBS

firekeeper . hhgv sorry not a fan

[quibbs126]

I already asked about this, but given it was on a list of multiple, maybe I’ll have better chances just asking on its own

What do I do for the velvetgatto kid?

I have a name for them, Zuccotto, but I have no clue where to start with their concept

And I feel bad about not having it done because it’s currently one of my oldest unanswered requests, but I just can’t think of anything

[gendy-endy]

[makerofmadness]

ok, since you don't have a ship with red velvet really down, may i introduce to you velvetgatto? (Affogato x red velvet)

I have not seen much of Affogato yet sorry :(

[sugarsquirrelcookie]

For the bingo, Velvetgatto! ✌️

Both Affogato and Red Velvet are both characters who I don’t have many ships for. I’m open to it but do gotta run them through the scenario machine in my head for a while.

[gendy-endy]

When your ship has no art sometimes you've got to do this
