Pirate Zombie Cleo times 2?!? Pirate Cleo in the empires crossover and Cleo on Pirates SMP? Fuck yeah! (Feel free to info dump about pirates and privateers.)

Yeah!!! And she was a pirate in season 6 of Hermitcraft! (I haven't watched her POV yet but it's near the top of my list after Scar.) Cleo is already one of my top favorite Hermits and pirate Cleo especially has me weak in the knees. I am absolutely not going to be normal on the 30th.

Oh man, so many fun things I could talk about! Like the entirety of the legends about my favorite pirate Gráinne Ní Mháille / Grace O'Malley. She's so sassy in most of them! Her second marriage was a year-long trial marriage, and at the end of it she waited until he was out, changed the locks to his castle, and told him it was over from the battlements when he got home. Or there's Samuel Bellamy, who in his very short piratical career - only about a year - became the richest pirate in recorded history and had a reputation for being merciful. The wreckage of his ship the Whydah Gally is still being explored and excavated today! One of these days I would love to visit the Wydah Pirate Museum in Massachusetts. :D
