Some more Captain Caviar Cookie headcanons while I work on the poll results. Warning: unfiltered yapping
Even though he only knew his father, Caviar was semi treated like an orphan. His father, Captain Roe Cookie, would spend weeks or months on end chasing pirates and trying to defend the republic, this left him having no one to look after him. Now, Seaweed Cookie is actually really kind and sweet but she didn’t want to look after him due to her job. So she had him set up in foster care, which is located at the orphanage, as an occasional kid for whenever his father wasn’t around and because of this he ended up bouncing from family to family.
The families were all upper city families that ranged from “I’m just doing this for the money.” to “I’m a single mom who has fostered over 30 kids just because and I live with my mom and my daughter who I adopted after she was abandoned on the steps of the church as a baby dough on Cookiemas Eve. And I still keep in touch with the other kids I’ve fostered.”
That last one was a Doctor Who reference btw. And they were his favorite foster family, having fostered him twice. I mean they gave him his guitar since he used to love music as a kid.
Also, he feels like he should understand the Mer-cookie language but he doesn’t because he was never taught how to communicate like that. Since squeaking is for the younger Mer-Cookies or the ones that weren’t taught it, sometimes Caviar’ll let out soft grumpy squeaks when upset but he doesn’t understand it. If he startles Grape Agate Cookie she’ll let out a startled squeak and try to attack him in defense. Luckily, Caviar has fast reflexes and is able to prevent her from actually hurting him.
Last thing (and I’m totally not projecting) he’s a feminist because yes.
Edit: Names for Ruby Sunday and her adoptive family as Cookies
Mermaids have a very scratchy sounding scream to scare people away from their territory but talk normally. Sirens have a very angelic voice to lure sailors to their deaths with their songs.
The last two remaining Siren Cookies are Black Pearl Cookie and her twin sister, Snowflake Obsidian Cookie (originally Moonstone Cookie before the thing with Lord Oyster). Captain Caviar Cookie’s mother is a Mer-Cookie so he’s part Mer-Cookie. Grape Agate Cookie, however, is another story. Her mother, Black Pearl Cookie, is a Siren Cookie but her father, Captain Caviar Cookie, is part Mer-Cookie. Agate is able to control her mer-form so she can use a very scratchy scream when she wants to scare off pirates or she can sing very angelically to calm her baby sister. Or she can swap the sounds and scream very softly and angelically to call her mom or aunt if she was captured by pirates or she can soften the scratchiness to provide the harmony for the sea shanties. Agate’s not allowed to sing using her angelic voice as it could affect the crew and Captain Caviar Cookie doesn’t want that.
Her mom’s Black Pearl Cookie and has her own Mer-Cookie form (don’t ask how that works, she’s very self conscious about it). I am going to make a Meet My Cookie sheet for all of my CRK OCs but they are going to a while since I have so many.
I blame @cosmicwhoreo for making me ship Black Pearl and Caviar/j
