COOKIE RACISM?

During the beginning of the story he mentions that clotted cream only recently brought peace to the republic, uniting the two sides.

Custard seemingly is proud of this feat so I'd imagine he doesn’t see union with sea cookies as a bad thing. Even if you were to argue it’s to increase his reputation

He calls caviar a “sea dog” and many people call it a slur. I don’t see it as a slur, sea dog is an actual term for weathered sailor, and caviar even uses it to describe himself. I think what custard meant by this is that Caviar isolates himself as a sailor.

Custard was under the misconception that the pearl legion was his power(his obsession), got denied his power and called Oyster course as in cold hearted.

I think that this is just his untrust shining through, yes it may be offensive to salty cookies but I think he would've said the same level of insult to anyone. IE Clotted before

This supports why Custard insults Clotted's dough, which I cannot defend. But shows that hating on salty cookie's dough is not an exclusive thing.

This is his ONLY time of being racist. Compared to sable, who is just blatantly classicist. I think if vanilla sugar can apologize he can too. Especially because he cares very deeply about his image and likes working with them. 

WHATS HIS DEAL WITH HIS FAMILY?

There's many loose ends with Light Creams lore. I agree, that there is manipulation on Custards side. I'd argue he is very polite to Light cream, at most passive aggressive. He is a villain, he is obsessed with power. Light wanting to talk to Clotted would stress him out. Especially in the events of odyssey and is the reason he wishes to shoo her away.

With his constant dismissal of scone I can assume since House Scone isn’t in power he wants to isolate clotted. To make him forget about his lineage that has fallen and focus on his work.

CLOTTED MISCHARAZATION

Other than that, he’s really just strict as hell, which is reasonable. Clotted has the MOST powerful house’s reputation on the line. He is nagging and manipulative. Though characters like Dark Cacao can be just as strict and insulting.

Custards ENTIRE livelihood and obsession is his work.. Clotted is also a grown ass man, yes, his son. But he has stood his ground before with Custard. All Custard acts like, is pathetic when this happens because Clotted calls the shots when dealing with others. If he didn't wish to have the pressure of House Custard, I'm sure it would have been mentioned.

During the end, I can't defend him for being an ass here. This is the only time he really insults clotted, and calls him a pitiful dimwitted fool.

Which yes u can stone him for.

He literally does nothing about though, and is so pathetic. Compared to cacao, who threatens to hurt people and make changes when offended. This is very tame, villain-wise at least.

Although a common misconception,  he wouldn't harm anyone with the soul jam's power he just wanted it to keep the power for the house. Everyone in the republic SEVERILY underestimates the ancients. 

Leaving the republic was an ass move, yes. He did not expect the ancient's to join the forces and does not want conflict between them, Clotted usually has everything in control anyways. Which is some basic villain stuff I mean let a man plot, he's oldass hell too if he gets jumped it's over.

WARMER TOGETHER

Baby custard's entire personality is being insanely naive. (I love him stilllll though) which is like an entire culture shock to the elder custard. He expected him to be more educated on the family. Clotted has mentioned that manners are essential in a republic.

And the worst line, the “half baked disgrace” one is only THOUGHT by custard. Worst he says is he’ll never be king, well bc LITERALLY THE VANILLA KINGDOM IS GONE. </3

Baby Custard also didn't hear shit he's in his own world, or Custard was whispering it. Either way he wasn't affected, and Custard wasn't pushing to make him upset.

CONCLUSION

I'm open to discussion!! You can hate him, but most things he's hated for is just mischaracterization in my opinion. There's also more elders to make fun who are much eviler.

I'm honestly confused why Custards the butt of a joke, I think he is a pretty fun villain and I love his design. I really like the concept of the custard military and his relationship with Clotted.
