Origin

On September 15th, 2025, user^[1] @matthewbaiterreal posted a video ironically shipping Clavicular and Nick, or "clavnik" as they are referred to in shipping terms. The video features pride flags and pronouns in reference to the infamous Miku Binder Thomas Jefferson picture and its subsequent parodies. The video received 34,100 views and 3,006 likes, though it did not gain much traction.

On February 15th, 2026, TikTok artist^[2] @iblameyetz posted fanart of Clavicular and Cookie King, which received 51,900 likes and 375,100 views in ten days. The artwork, seen below, would later be featured in future shipping videos.
