Jim and the boys of the Revenge 🗡🏳️🌈✨
CREW || first episode of appearance ⇉ season 2 episode 8
Aw, seeing them all makes me so emotional!!! 😭
they literally Did Not have to all look so good in these uniforms. god damn.
the ofmd crew 0.3 seconds after the strike ended immediately running to post every single crumb of bts content from s2 that’s been sitting in their phones for months
crew of the Revenge as marginalia from the Pontifical de Guillaume Durand:
Stede: fancy peacock creature. sartorial elegance. bitchy facial expressions. fits the vibe
Ed: luxurious beard. very cool. mysterious but also fun. air of silliness and also deep sadness
Jim: not a mermaid
Oluwande: responsible. reliable. can herd the ducklings that are the crew of the revenge, he’s got it figured out. partial erasure because his excellence has cruelly not been recognized and celebrated how it should be
Frenchie: talented musician, cool jacket, more to him than meets the eye at first glance. fun and funky little guy who contains multitudes
Roach: knives are knives
Pete: bald, has no idea what’s going on but he’s vibing with it
Lucius: pretty, talented, unforgettable, cool as hell, carries himself like he’s cute
Buttons: bitey. watch out
Swede: musical talents and great hair
Wee John: mermaid drag, very cool
Fang: 1) talented and kind and 2) dogy :)
Ivan: cool. collected. competent. he’s got it together
Izzy: hates fun. would aim a crossbow at a butterfly
NOOUUHGHHGH becasue baweuca because because.. they were gonna mutiny. they were gonna kill stede. but they didnt. because he reads them stories. they wanted to know how pinocchio ended. he took their mutiny as an opportunity for constructive criticism and took their complaints seriously and created an opportunity for them to express themselves and receive validation. team building. creativity. support. community. and it fucking WORKED. when they defended him as being a pirate during the act of grace. they didnt mention the farce of nigel's death. of stede's performative masculine violence, taking credit for an act that did nothing but haunt him. they don't mention any of the training he's been doing with blackbeard, setting the ship on fire, threatening the french captain. no. they mention the raid that was all his own, when he politely introduced himself to two fishermen, took their dilapidated plant, and brought it into an environment where it could thrive. like... they participate in the fuckery, assigning creative roles to each crew member that aligns with their talent. they all gather to listen to ed sing his song. they beam at the prospect of a talent show. they don't mutiny on stede because he reads them stories. do you get it.
a costume contest on the revenge would be a disaster. right off the bat I'm saying pete would dress up as blackbeard and ask frenchie and wee john to tie fuses into his fake beard. for the smoke effect. soo he definitely catches on fire.
and maybe lucius feels a teensy bit of schadenfreude when pete jumps overboard
They all dress as Blackbeard and this is the breakdown:
Pete: leather Ed
Wee John: leather Ed with fuses EVERYWHERE, but he knows what he's doing
Swede: Depression Robe Ed - singing HAPPY songs and with braided hair and pink hair ribbons
Olu: 'Stede'/Ed, because the flappy sleeves looked like fun and you can take the piss at Stede at the same time.
Jim: Kraken Ed, but without the crying.
Frenchie: Hoity Toity Party Ed, because he cut a dashing figure
Lucius: Purple Crop Top Ed with extra cropping to the top which has 'Slag' inked on it.
What I love(and hate!) about Calico Jack killing Karl is that the Entire. Crew. turned against him instantly.
Like this asshole pirate had them all eating out of the palm of his hand. They were partying, having the time of their lives. Drinking and breaking stuff, just like a good pirate should do! But then Jack killed Karl, Buttons was crushed, and the rest of the crew is just. Silent. They’re staring at Jack with contempt. He lost their respect and support the instant he killed Karl, a seagull.
Then Stede walks stiffly out of the cabin, looks him in the eye, and in the most no-nonsense, serious voice I’ve ever heard from him he says “Get off my ship.” There is no room for argument in his voice.
And aside from the dark humor(this is all about the murder of a seagull) it WAS incredibly sad, the tone of the episode changed immediately, and it speaks a lot to the mood of the crew, the togetherness, and how absolutely uncool it was for Jack to kill Karl and basically everyone agreed.
I just LOVE the crew for that, and the worst part was that Ed sided with Jack.
I wouldn’t say that Ed sided with Jack—he left out of guilt, since he was the one who vouched for Jack.
Remember how excited he was when he first saw Karl (IZZY THEY HAVE A BIRD GUY)? Ed loved the fun and whimsy of The Revenge and Karl was a symbol of that. I’m not surprised that he felt like he couldn’t stay after the dude he brought aboard killed Karl (on top of the “I don’t like who you are around this guy” convo/miscommunication).
I love you guys! #greatObservations
What sexy halloween costumes should ed and stede dress up in
Bonus for the rest of the crew sexy or not
GREAT FUCKIN QUESTION
frenchie and wee john: sexy witch and sexy cat. they do the costumes they did for the fuckery but with a lot more skin
roach: sexy surgeon
pete: sexy Blackbeard. he and ed look at each other across deck and decide to just not talk about it.
lucius: Pinocchio! he’s still not very good at the little wooden boy voice but he makes sure to tell everyone that he’s got sticks for legs… and other things.
jim: freddy krueger. just regular though, not sexy. the real sexiness comes from the fact that it is jim with knives for hands
olu: just wears his regular outfit but with sexy high heeled crocs
the swede: he dresses up as jim. just regular ol jim. he asked if he could be jim when they all found out about jim’s real identity so he gets to be jim for a bit 🤷🏻
izzy: sexy maid. con’s titties would pop out of that costume and that is the only reason i’m choosing it. he would hate every second of it.
ed: he gets to be a princess. he gets to be royalty in the finest fabrics with jewelry and pretty hair accessories. you knoooooow he knows about the trashy romances stede has in his book collection and there’s bound to be one or two about a princess and a roguish man who sweeps her off her feet 👀
stede: stede had no idea that halloween costumes can be sexy. he goes as an orange. (when he learns about sexy costumes he tells ed that he’s a ~petrified orange~. when ed doesn’t get it he has to say “you know, like a hard orange. like i’m hard. get it?”
I FORGOT BUTTONS FUCK
he would be a ~filthy phantom~ ooOooooOOOOooOOooOhH
