Apparently it’s cannon that Shep dislikes the rain because it blocks his view of the stars and I thought that was adorable.

AITA for betraying one of the people who trusted me?

u/SharkLover_BaaBaa

I know the title looks not great on me but hear me out.

I (21M he/they) grew up on this really seedy pirate ship with a really... eccentric... captain (???M) and there was this other dude who made friends with the prisoner! I mean can you believe it? Anyway lets call this guy W (now 28M he/him/them) who was 14 when we last saw each other.

So W annoys the captain (let's call him EM) a lot and normally when someone annoys EM it's my job to get rid of them (read: kill) but this time EM let W go!! Ok so he might have left him bloody and bruised on some random island but still!

Anyway, flash forward 14 years and now I am moving into this Faction Isles with a bunch of pirates and I join the one about money or something, not important. But guess who I see alive and well?! IT'S W!!

W is running around holding hands and picking flowers with this faction all about family (ironic when he abandoned our ship!!! And his father!!)

Anyway a while later W comes up to me and says they need my help! Apparently EM's ship has been nearby recently! And W wants to explore.

Long story short (I'm a busy man after all), W started asking too many nosy questions and sticking their nose in business that wasn't his to know. There happened to be these cultists on the island W had docked on that had turned W's own faction leader to stone (skill issue in my opinion) and what was a man to do? I shoved W into them and he died (L + ratio) but what was I meant to do???

Now I am very scared that his happy go lucky faction is going to do to me what I did to EM's enemies all those years ago but W was sticky beaking!

So AITA for betraying his trust in order to save my skin and EM's honour?

p!Shep, before the Faction Isles (TW: Blood)

Livestreamed on imaShep on Twitch, 11 November 2023 at 6pm EST Voiceover by Cloudburst42 (Twitch) Art by shorbuni (Twitch) / Skrooli (Twitter) Video clip obtained from cc!Shep's Discord server

(transcript under the cut)

Gold. Gold has always been the main motivator for a Kestrel. And Kestrels were willing to do most [of] anything to satiate their thirst for wealth. Shep was no different.

From a young age, Shep learned that gold was the primary way people perceive your worth. After being left on the docks by his family to find work, Shep started trying to find any way to make money. With that, Shep began his pirating journey.

(transition to animatic on the Luscinia)

Shep was tasked with duties no one else wanted, such as cleaning the deck and other meaningless things. However, they were able to eat and they even had some gold left over afterwards.

As time went on, they moved on to do more tasks throughout the ship, which, of course, he learned through the captain, who he held in high regard, learning most [of] everything he knew from him. He knew that the captain was always trying his best to protect him and the rest of the crew, and because of that, they trusted the captain and what he did.

However, in Shep's mind, he did tend to go a bit overboard with dealing with… (slashing sound; blood stains the paper) …tense situations, leaving behind multiple crew members over the time he sailed with them.

Nevertheless, Shep worked tirelessly trying to please the captain and earn their respect. This carried on into Shep's teen years and they even found a way to make money while on board the ship. In hindsight, trying to sell bananas to others on the ship wasn't necessarily the brightest idea, but Shep still tried nonetheless.

Shep continued to try to earn the captain's respect all the way up until their adulthood, and, having gained the captain's respect, they wanted more from the world and from their life. They wanted to seek out their own fortunes and their own wealth, so Shep set off, ready to make their dreams become reality.

From the de facto Pirates SMP archivist and recap guy, unofficial day-by-day VODs recap here! Watch out because I summarized most of the individual characters' lore with lots of spoilers at the top of the recaps + have some notes for future work on the recap for when I have the time (some days are incomplete or in a few cases, might have the wrong VODs).

Based on your current selection of POVs:

Bek and Cleo's VODs aren't all officially archived and tend to be lighter on the lore, Cleo more-so

Krow's VODs are still gradually going up but eventually gets very lore-heavy

Will's VODs are all up and other than about 1.5 streams, is generally more lore-heavy (good pick), there are plans for a movie supercut version but I've heard it's in editing hell rn; I recommend a few related clips from ImaShep's POV because their individual lore is entwined

Additional resources for Will's POV:

Short stories: [1] [2], preferably read between the September/October VODs

Shep POV 1: Nov 11th VOD; recommended to watch at least the animatic at the beginning for p!Shep's backstory context

Watermunch POV: Clips [1] and [2] from Nov 13th; watch before "Final Wishes" (Shep wasn't even live at the time; he just gave Water lore crumbs for free)

Shep POV 2: Please ONLY watch this clip AFTER you finish Will's POV due to ending spoilers

Shep POV 3: His POV of the finale

Recommended POVs:

Personally, I'd recommend basically everyone, but based on the criteria of (1) lore-centric, (2) episodic, and (3) smaller creator:

[Note: I'm generally more hesitant to recommend creators without complete/official archives, so forgive me for potential bias]

Tier A recommendations: fits these criteria the closest

Apokuna: VODs are generally not officially archived as of time of reply; has episode adaptations in the works; is more focused on the main plotline and individual lore, not the side-plots

Graecie: VODs are not officially archived + only SMP Launch Day has been officially adapted, but she gets her lore moments and it gets really emotional when she gets into it

Roscumber: A smaller creator (the only Tier A creator that wasn't on Outsiders SMP) and has some really interesting individual lore that plays into an SMP side-plot; great builder, chill vibes, has episodes in progress but all the VODs are up

SoupForEloise: Most VODs are not officially archived (but I think or at least hope that's soon to change) + mostly silly/casual but has a minor overarching character arc

Tier B recommendations: good to check out based on your current selection

ImaShep: One of the smaller, lesser-known creators on the roster. He technically joined late, doesn't have completely archived VODs, and only engages in lore occasionally, but compliments the other side of Will's individual lore (TBH, watch his first day and those moments I mentioned above, and everything else is pretty much covered on Will POV). Does chill streams outside of the SMP

JojoSolos: VODs are completely archived! Streams are mostly chill but compliments the other side of Krow's individual lore

Tier C recommendations

Acho: Has like 70 VODs including the writer's room stream (supercut seems to be on the back-burner), gets insanely lore-heavy during lore streams (labelled in official VOD archives), does joint lore with Scott Smajor (VODs only partially officially archived but nearly completely unofficially archived, more casual due to scheduling conflicts) and this results in some absolute heartbreak

KyleEff: One of the smaller creators; VODs partially officially archived (for now?), mostly casual streams with 2 relatively important lore streams, but character arc is unresolved due to insufficient time to fully explore the ramifications

Michela DarkEyebrows: VODs are partially officially archived; mostly casual with the lore but plays a crucial role in the second official server event due to individual lore being heavily tied with the overarching SMP plotline

MythicalSausage: VODs are all archived (across 2 channels because he switched from YT to Twitch streaming halfway through the series); lore is slow-paced at the start but starts to get intense about halfway through the series (as in, expect at least some lore every stream after a certain point). Warning for some NSFW shippy comments involving his character because I took -10,000 psychic damage listening to him yap

Both OwengeJuice and Martyn InTheLittleWood have completely adapted episodes, but there are some admitted pacing issues (some VOD context didn't make it into the episodes and left some of the episode-only viewers a bit confused). Owen's individual lore is basically YouTube-exclusive; Martyn's POV generally requires at least some background knowledge of his V-Tuber lore (rat chat roleplay was fun while it lasted)

Did I recommend practically half the cast with this? ...Yes.

Feel free to pick and choose whatever and whoever you want to watch. I was a bit of a jack-of-all-trades myself (as you can see from... this), but unless you have the time to dedicate yourself to the series, I don't recommend watching every single POV and VOD (Lord knows even I haven't)

I'm planning to make a less personalized, more general rundown of recommended POVs based on personal preference in the future as well, so... prospective Pirates viewers can keep an eye out for that in the future (hopefully in May? no promises though)

@minecraftrelatedrandomness:

Saw you replying to E about wanting to get into Pirates. I went through that phase during the series run-time. If you want, I have two versions of the day-by-day recap for Pirates and have an overall lore recap in the making (it's been a slow WIP because I have finals coming up): do you want me to send you the day-by-day recap link? If yes, would you prefer the version with or without unoffical VODs?

You said you were gonna watch Cleo and Bek's POVs? I'll admit that their VODs, even the officially archived ones, aren't exactly complete… Do you have any preferences on which creators on the roster or what style of content (e.g. lore-focused or casual, VODs or episodes, etc.) you want to watch? And do you mind me giving you recommendations based on that for who you might want to watch for the series?

OMG YESSSSS I WOULD LOVE ALL OF THAT!!!! absolutely would love to see the recap you're working on, and the version with unofficial vods sounds great, I'll take everything I can get my hands on tbh!!

I've already started bek's vods, I'm on the 4th now, and yes I've started cleo's before and do plan to come back to em :] for other folks I've also thought about watching krowfang and likely will, but otherwise don't really have particular creators in mind, thought I do like to check out smaller/newer folks and would like some lore-focused and/or episodic stuff instead of the looser vods since I am interested in the story of the smp and episodes are muchmuch easier to get through ^_^!

so all that said not only would I not mind getting recommendations, I'd love to hear who you might rec!! and tbh anyone else who might see this and has recs, I'm super open to hearin em, I missed the main activity of pirates just because of timing really but it is Very up my alley and I'd like to dive in :D
