Giggles glad she was saved by Lumpy
This article focuses on the interactions between Giggles and Lumpy.
Overview[]
Most of the time, Lumpy and Giggles seem to be good friends. However, there are some instances when they become rivals due to their differing personalities.
Giggles' Side[]
Lumpy, Giggles, Cuddles and Toothy have fun.
For the majority of the series, Giggles acts kindly to Lumpy as she does with virtually every other character. She has worked alongside Lumpy in A Change of Heart and Chew Said a Mouthful. At the beginning of Every Litter Bit Hurts, she waves hello to Lumpy as he arrives to pick up her trash. She also went trick-or-treating with Lumpy and Flaky in Out of Sight, Out of Mime. She was also grateful of Lumpy rescuing her in See You Later, Elevator.
Though in spite of her sweet nature, she has been fed up with Lumpy at times, mostly in his antagonistic roles. In the most noteworthy example, Every Litter Bit Hurts, she becomes infuriated by how insensitively Lumpy treats the environment. She seemed upset by Lumpy getting in the way of her and Cuddles' romance in The Carpal Tunnel of Love. And in Dunce Upon a Time, she had to rescue herself and other Tree Friends from being eaten by a giant Lumpy.
A few episodes including Wipe Out! and As You Wish appear to suggest attraction on her part towards Lumpy.
Lumpy's Side[]
Lumpy and Sniffles worry about Giggles.
This friendship is almost as strong on Lumpy's side. In I've Got You Under My Skin, he and Sniffles were clearly worried about Giggles' health after finding her buried in snow. He, along with several other friends, also volunteered to help fix Giggles' house in Home Is Where the Hurt Is. He brought Giggles, Cuddles, and Toothy to the playground in two episodes, made a movie with her in YouTube Copyright School, and even risked his life to save her in The Wrong Side of the Tracks, See You Later, Elevator, You're Kraken Me Up and Blood Donor.
There are several hints through out the series that implies that Lumpy may have a crush on Giggles. In Wipe Out!, his primary motivation for winning the surfing competition was to impress Giggles. In As You Wish, when Lumpy discovers Giggles was also a genie as he rubs another lamp, he wishes for something off-screen, chuckling as he tries to come up with a wish to give. In You're Kraken Me Up, he "marries" Giggles, who was really just decapitated onto a kraken's tentacle, and they even have a "kid" together, who was Cub who suffered the same fate as Giggles.
Sometimes, Lumpy can draw out the worst of the other characters.
Half the time, however, Lumpy isn't so friendly in her eyes, especially in his antagonistic roles. He angers Giggles in Every Litter Bit Hurts due to his apathy towards the environment; while he himself remains friendly in the episode, he shows no concern for his misdeeds or Giggles' complaints. He attempted to capture and eat Giggles in Dunce Upon a Time and later succeeds doing so in All In Vein. He was also somewhat harsh to Giggles in A Change of Heart, but to be fair, their patient was in critical health and it may have been due to stress.
