Common Creme Republic and denizens misconceptions.
Common misconceptions list I created to help people understand the Creme Republics lore better.
Here are my current corrections. I might reblog this post to add if anyone reminds me of more.
The Cookie racism in the republic is classism coded racism.
The focus is classism between salty and vanilla cookies and there is only racist undertones.
The cookie racism in the republic has nothing to do with actual dough color.
(I find it disgusting when people headcannon that the republic would be racist towards Cacoaians.)
No cookies in the republic or the entire franchise are homophobic. Yes, you can headcannon that, but they would never would actually be in cannon.
Custard didnt steal the souljams nor had a nefarious reason to keep pvs's.
Custard doesn't abuse Light Cream.
He's at most implied to be her acquaintance.
Custard is not the main villain of the republic. Millie and Canele are. Millie tried to steal the soul jams, and Canele is arguably the most racist one to hurt salty cookies and embezzel. House Custard has currently done more positive things for salty cookies than bad. Ei uniting the two sides to create the council.
Honorable mention to Sable to being the 2nd arguably racist one. She insults Salty cookies unprovoked and stands openly against them. Unlike all the other members that are still in the council.
It's uncomfirmed if our current elders started the cookie classism and, therefore, how long it's actually been going on for.
Elder Custard didn't say slurs. Sea dog doesn't have enough evidence to be a slur, and it is a real-life term used on sailors. And means experienced sailor. Unlike "flasters," which are made up and much more charged. And insulting dough is not an exclusively salty thing. Ei Custard has insulted Clotteds before. While he still insulted Caviar and Oyster, he did not say slurs to them.
Mulled Juice isn't a great person. For example when asked for help he was more focused on his personal invention.(that was unimportant) This inconsiderate when the entire Republic is on the line. Of course he isnt evil but I'd imagine neutrally grey. Every Elder has their own flaws.
Oyster isn't a house that supports salty cookies. Oyster is the richest house and has done nothing currently to advocate as of right now for salty cookies, unlike caviar.
Caviar, his crew, Lord Oyster and abalone cookie are all sailors not pirates.
Lord Oyster never had nefarious reasons to betray or sell White pearls Pearl. His house would've fallen if he didn't and the rest of his family (that havent already died) would've suffered.
Blackpearl most likely can't tolerate land cookies in her current corrupted state.
(I think It'd be interesting to see an au where she is able to become uncorrupted... and become freinds or shipped with land cookies!!))
Also honorable mention to remember she is villian and has killed probably hundreds if not thousands of sailors over the years.
Abalone and Oyster cookie would not be relevant in current times. Mermaids tale is an old tale told most likely told to children. IE Sorbet and Pep telling the tale. And none of our current cookies would think much about it. Also most likely house Abalone would not be seen as a vilianized house.
Abalone isn't wimpy.
No idea where this came from but dude litterally died because he wanted to be more greedy. Opposite of wimpy.
That about wraps it up for now tell me if I missed anything.
yes, I, the lone and only financier x seaweed shipper on tumblr(inaccurate), am back. After years of silence, yes, I have returned.
There's like a whooooooole au think that I've got with them.... maybe one day the public will know.
daaaw look at thaaat, just hugging it out.
Averting each other's gaze.... gayass ugh gross
The emotional avoidance from seaweed is strong in this one lol, we know you love her deep dooown
Lol they're like lesbian sheep... just standing there.... waiting for the other to make a move
Hahaha
She's cooked in the sense that she'll actually have to address her gay repression womp. Was gonna happen eventually, whether it was the scrappy gravedigger or not.
Smooches wowza, imagine being able to do with someone.
Also don't ever ask me to design a dress.... or draw one without reference.... or draw one....
Look at Fin, helping her girl out with her jooob, so prideful and under the disguise that she's getting info about the white masks amazing. Ofc this isn't the most active search, the white masks haven't appeared in over a year so surely its okay if she slacks off for yuri, riiiiiight? (This is the heavily simplified Finanseaweed au explanation btw).
Custard and Clotted wouldn't be so cruel.
(Trigger warner for old art eeeeewww)
(Lowkey this looks like dookie but whateever) remember when this was a thing ppl did w/ their fav ships, quaaazy.
They're both equally as loyal, Fin's just a protective gayass pupper about it, hence why seaweed has to tell her pupper to get down and she will like the good pupper she iiiiiis (gaaaayass)
Will more finanseaweed happen? Perhaps, gears are slowly moving in the bg, trust
