Too tired to write a deep analysis post rn but do you think there’s some significance in EC carving EC on his sea chest (maybe/possibly at the beginning of the voyage) -> “Hickey” carving Hickey and CH on the Hickey knife (maybe/possibly sometime in mutiny camp/after the walkout)?? Like he carves his old name/initials on stuff when he’s becoming someone new or starting a new chapter. Carves EC into his sea chest as they set off -> casts off EC’s identity to become Cornelius Hickey. Carves Hickey onto his knife once he’s in mutiny camp -> casts off any name/identity to (attempt and obviously fail to) become Tuunbaq’s shaman. Reconfigure reinvent rearrange etc etc. Does this make any sense or is this just a bunch of words thrown together

#bc we know he carves ec onto his seachest #and the knife he’s using is supposed to be the hickey knife artifact #(famous for having. well. ‘hickey’ carved into it)#and the show establishes him taking the knife from terror’s silverware chest before carnivale. so it’s not like he took it from OG hickey #maybe he just. likes to carve his initials into stuff. i mean it seems fun i can’t blame him #anyways going back to bed now gonna try and force myself to stop thinking about my cold blorbos. no easy feat! :-)#cornelius hickey #the terror
