Canon
At the beginning of the series, Cartman, like the other boys, didn't like Butters very much. However, over time, Butters ceases to be the target of jokes, and becomes Cartman's most important ally and your best friend. Cartman was the only one who maintained a closer friendship with Butters. Eric being the one who highlights Butters in most situations, while the rest of the group maintained a much more distant relationship. And due to this increasingly closer relationship, the two have a lot of moments that contribute to the shipp.

Many full episodes revolve around the two characters' partnership, with Butters as Cartman's right-hand man, or just showing up to comfort and cheer him up with advice. With this situation repeating itself in many places, like Butters going to Eric's house, or to the hospital to console him, or Cartman himself going to Butters' house to get something off one’s chest. The foundation of Butters and Cartman’s relationship has largely been driven by Butters’ kind, earnest desire to listen to his problems, comfort him after his failures, help him with any scheme he suggests, and allow himself to be manipulated in unspeakable ways by him. In short, Butters likes to believe, trust, and support everything Eric says and does. Butters at various times is shy around Eric and makes a shy pose that he only does for Eric, where he puts his hands behind his back and swings his leg looking awkwardly down. Their relationship get a little confusing if analyzed in random out-of-order episodes. As it is a relationship that is in constant positive evolution, but that started in the form of enmity. Eric treats Butters pretty well, he trusts him blindly, protects him in many situations, gives him gifts, cares about his feelings, etc. (Which is even more evident compared to the way Eric treats all people badly) Cartman sometimes has a leader relationship with Butters, and he like this relationship of having Eric in charge, there are several times when Eric becomes different and Butters feel sad or feel very angry with Cartman because it, and later then Butters jumps for joy at the return of old Eric. At various times even though everyone is against Eric or feeling angry at Eric, Butters always takes Eric's side and defends him, and is the only one smiling at him.

Some fans say that this ship started in the early seasons, when Butters was a minor character, in "Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000" (S4 E2). The couple's fanarts are mostly recreating the duo's canon moments, due to their large amount, and because many of these moments are the most talked about in fandom. The couple share opinions in fandom, being admired for their constant positive evolution and large amount of canon moments and being criticized on the other side of fandom for their past of enmity. On the South Park Fan Wiki, it was one of the most accessed and most commented pages, second only to Creek wiki. Cartters' shippers wonder how little recognition the shipp has in relation to the other ships of the show, given the amount of moments they have, and raises several points such as fatphobia and rivalry between ships.
