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
