Directly related to the last post

Revenge crew finally meets husband Sam and The Horde and Stede is the one guy that just Does Not Get It.

Stede is just: Wait Izzy I thought you said these were your children?

Izzy: Yeah. They are.

Stede: But Mr. Bellamy just introduced them as his children??

Sam: Well, yes, they are also my children.

Stede: Did you. Did you use a surrogate???

Izzy: I fuckin wish we had.

Stede: Are they adopted????

Sam: No—well, Johnny is, but not the rest.

Izzy: That’s exactly why Johnny’s my favorite.

Stede: ????????????

I'm trying to get my best friend into OFMD and THANK YOU ALL OF THE BELLHANDS/BELLAMY FANDOM for fan-casting Rahul Kohli because my friend is a huge Mike Flanagan fan (and is also a big Izzy Hands enjoyer from what I showed him so far).

I just told him about Bellamy and Izzy and we are being feral about it

Sometimes you start reading a fic that's 336k long and then you end up having many feelings about a rarepair you hadn't even truly considered before that and then you start writing an OS telling yourself it's gonna be short but you're lying to yourself and anyway, here have some Blackhands (Sam Bellamy/Israel Hands) with a sprinkle of polyamory (by way of OFC, aka Elspeth) and a dash of Crew & Israel Hands topped with some Israel Hands & Happiness:

Summary:

He missed Sam. More than ever he missed him and he wanted to be by his side. His love for him had never died. He didn’t care if Sam’s had. He needed to find out. He needed to see it for himself. He turned to Jim.

“I want to do right by the crew, as much as I can.” He said. “And then… then, maybe I want to see if I could get a second chance, a chance to do right by someone I cared very deeply about.”

“Who’s that?” They couldn’t help themself. Izzy would tell them to fuck off anyway if he didn’t feel like answering.

“The only person who ever loved me without owning me.”

Aka Izzy and the crew get their happily ever after.

Tags: Elspeth is the name of the OFC, Lucius lives in the walls of the Revenge, Suicidal Ideation, (briefly), Kraken Era, toes mentioned, Israel Hands Needs a Hug, protective Israel Hands, Injury, Nerve Damage, Mutiny, Ed dies?, maybe?, it’s unclear and open ended, Retirement, Fang gets a dog, Comfort, I would die for Elspeth just so you know, Happy Izzy, love is stored inside the cake, Happy Ending, Give this man a happy ending, Israel Hands-centric

Sam Bellamy’s Piracy Tips

1) It is always morally correct to steal from the rich and Henry Jennings

2) Sometimes you need to let the boys set shit on fire even if you’d prefer they be more chill, it’s good for morale

3) It’s not kidnapping if the kid asks to join the crew

4) Benjamin Hornigold is a chickenshit bootlicking coward, please remind him of the time he was mutinied by a guy who’d been doing this for a weekend

5) Date a witch at least once

6) When in doubt, dicks out

(thanks to @lordess-dickery-doof for some of these)

Talk Like a Pirate Day

Avast, me hearties!

I think it only proper that on this day of all days, we should look to the wise words of that scallywag Black Sam Bellamy to a merchant captain of his... acquaintance:

"...Damn ye, you are a sneaking Puppy, and so are all those who will submit to be governed by Laws which rich Men have made for their own Security, for the cowardly Whelps have not the Courage otherwise to defend what they get by their Knavery; but damn ye altogether: Damn them for a Pack of crafty Rascals, and you, who serve them, for a Parcel of hen-hearted Numskuls. They villify us, the Scoundrels do, when there is only this Difference, they rob the Poor under the Cover of Law, forsooth, and we plunder the Rich under the Protection of our own Courage; had you not better make One of us, than sneak after the Arses of those Villains for Employment? "You are a devilish Conscience Rascal, damn ye, I am a free Prince, and I have as much Authority to make War on the whole World, as he who has a hundred Sail of Ships at Sea, and an Army of 100,000 Men in the Field; and this my Conscience tells me; but there is no arguing with such sniveling Puppies, who allow Superiors to kick them about Deck at Pleasure."

If that old tar be not to yer likin', then from sinner to saint we'll go, and bless ye with words of a loftier source, St. Augustine's City o' God:

Justice being taken away, then, what are kingdoms but great robberies? For what are robberies themselves, but little kingdoms? The band itself is made up of men; it is ruled by the authority of a prince, it is knit together by the pact of the confederacy; the booty is divided by the law agreed on. If, by the admittance of abandoned men, this evil increases to such a degree that it holds places, fixes abodes, takes possession of cities, and subdues peoples, it assumes the more plainly the name of a kingdom, because the reality is now manifestly conferred on it, not by the removal of covetousness, but by the addition of impunity. Indeed, that was an apt and true reply which was given to Alexander the Great by a pirate who had been seized. For when that king had asked the man what he meant by keeping hostile possession of the sea, he answered with bold pride, "What thou meanest by seizing the whole earth; but because I do it with a petty ship, I am called a robber, whilst thou who dost it with a great fleet art styled emperor."

'Tis appropriate indeed that the blessed saint who so defended us an' tarred the lords an' mighty with the same brush as we lent his name, long years later, to a Florida town well-known as a pirate haven.

oh while im here i cant remember if i ever posted my Big Galaxy Brain Idea which was noel fielding as black sam bellamy in ofmd. david jenkins let's discuss

[tsundere-isopods]

Y'all. I spent nearly 45 minutes talking about Samuel Bellamy. Only Samuel Bellamy and his life. I didn't get sidetracked on what a dick Vane was or the rumors that Teach controlled the sea. It was a clinical approach on his childhood (I got a little distracted by the woman and child part, but it was related, I swear) and Hornigold's collection of future captains. Then, it was an in-depth discussion of the 18-month reign as the Robin Hood of the Sea. Like, I knew that I had a wealth of info on Bellamy, but that's excessive even to me.

Samuel Bellamy is my historical Blorbo. I'd call him my pathetic little meow-meow (on account of the piracy), but honestly? He did nothing wrong.

[bellevasseur]

they’re MY barbies and I WILL make them kiss

[thecreaturecalledriza]

hear me out, okay. So Sam probably has a reputation for being smooth as hell right? Alongside being clever and tricky? But what if. What if he’s only a good flirt if he doesn’t really care about who he’s flirting with?

Basically, I just think Sam should be an absolute cat. 5 disaster around Izzy. Stuttering, literally tripping over himself, saying the stupidest shit imaginable without even thinking it through, getting tangled up in everything from the rigging to his own coat. Nobody knows what the hell is happening, least of all Izzy.

Someone (Paulsgrave probably) has to figure out what the hell has gotten into Sam and then essentially go court Izzy for Sam and explain the whole thing or nothing would ever get done about it. Sam gets better about it after Izzy is somehow successfully wooed by his utterly incomprehensible courting. But only a little bit.

listen. do i know that a gunslinging pirate would realistically be very impractical because most pistols of the era took at least 20 seconds to reload??? yes. am i still obsessed with the idea of a gunslinging pirate and determined to incorporate one into my ofmd prequel??? absolutely. physics be damned, they can just carry A Lot of Guns

[therealpiratesofonepiece]

CW nudity mention

Samuel Bellamy and his partner at the time, Edmund Williams, once intimidated a ship they were robbing by stripping naked and boarding her wearing just their pistols.

Damn ye, you are sneaking puppy, and so are all those who will submit to be governed by laws which rich men have made for their own security.

Pirate Trivia Time:

Here are some of my favourite bits of pirate trivia:

Ann Bonny's name has been spelled "Anne" with an e for 300 years due to a error in the trial record.

The sole surviving physical description of Ann Bonny and Mary Read by an eyewitness is basically "I knew they were women because they had big breasts".

Blackbeard once ransomed the city of Charleston for syphilis medication.

There is no known record of Blackbeard killing anyone before his final battle.

The word "buccaneer" has the same origins as the word "barbecue" (the boucan, a means of preparing meat).

A buccaneer, William Dampier, introduced the word "avocado" (among others) to the English language (he was also the first person to circumnavigate the world three times).

Wrecks of at least two pirate ships have been discovered: "Black Sam" Bellamy's Whydah Galley, and Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge.

Arguably the most successful pirate of all time was a Chinese woman, Ching Shih, aka Zheng Yi Sao.

Bartholomew Roberts had perhaps the most cinematic pirate death- trading broadsides with a man of war in the middle of a tropical storm.

Yes, Stede Bonnet actually had a library on his sloop, the Revenge.

I am a free prince, and I have as much authority to make war on the whole world as he who has a hundred sail of ships at sea and an army of 100,000 men in the field!
