The Fyre Festival guy just got out of prison after four years and he's already planning another island festival called PYRAT (pronounced pirate) which is clearly going to be Fyre Festival 2.0.

Like he is using the same vague promos as last time, featuring footage of the Bahamas, and when NBC News asked the government of the Bahamas about this they were like "NO, he does not have permission to host ANYTHING here. Please tell us if you see him in our country so we can arrest him."

All rise.

We're getting off track... and way too mushy. I'm calling MetalBeard to the stand!

Hey! Big guy! Tell the court what RJ is really like!

Aye. He'd be an inconsiderate and annoying man who don't play by any rules! The scallywag has been nothing but a bane on the high space seas since the day he came into our lives! He deserves to be thrown in the brig for the rest of his life!

Look how proud Stede is about his foliage and how well he took care of the spoils of the first swashbuckling.

fun fact: most of the information we know about classic pirates (blackbeard, anne bonny, mary read, calico jack) is from one book. and it’s more hilarious the more you know.

A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pyrates (or A General History of Pyrates) by Captain Charles Johnson

firstly: captain charles johnson is not a person nor a captain. it’s a pen name. and we have no clue who he actually was. he probably chose “captain” to give himself a sense of credibility he did not have. (could possibly have been daniel defoe or nathaniel mist and you can actually find modern copies printed under both their names)

secondly: he made a lot of it up. he gathered whatever information was available and just made up the rest and anything he thought would make it cooler. that’s not even to mention the second volume where he made up several entire people. this dude was just making stuff up and it’s now the earliest history we have of these people and we’ve accepted it as fact.

thirdly: it was initially published in 1724. (golden age of piracy was 1650s-1830s, dude was writing about the present) several of the pirates he writes about were still alive. and the rest were very recently dead. (henry every is an outlier) he was literally making up facts about people who were very much alive likely while he was writing it.

so this mysterious random dude made up stories about pirates who were still running around killing people and it’s now accepted as pirate cannon. amazing

@pyramultimuse Renji ro Bya: "Well, someone's cranky today."

“I am not cranky!” He pouted. He wouldn’t be so expressive normally, but they were at home and Byakuya was just too tired to put up a mask of indifference. “I’m just very upset that they ran out of Wakame Taishi soul candy…” He huffed and crossed his arms, looking away.

Two notorious cross-dressing women became female pirates: Mary Reid and Anne Bonny, whose story was published as A General History of the Pirates in 1724.

admittedly i do not know enough about blackbeard specifically to confirm or deny whether he was involved in slave trading (possible but i just dont remember a source) but they could have made a gay pirate show about black sam bellamy and have it be Less Problematic TM very easily to be fucking honest. black sam (he was white but had black hair and refused to wear wigs) used to scare slave traders by being weird and naked on his ship then attacked them while they were confused and freed the slaves many of which joined his crew. and also he was the so-called Prince of Pirates and had the most ships out of everyone and was generally cool. and he also had a bestie called Paulsgrave Williams (cool name wtf) with whom he sailed the high seas although he also had a wife to whom he was trying to come back to when he got rich but he died in a storm. but like his story is also absolutely amazing as a source material for a tv show

Saw a joke making use of a common but ultimately more or less harmless misconception and I'm being so brave about it
