So has anyone noticed when Davy looks up to the sky and realises that Calypso has been freed, DAVY IMMEDIATELY HOLDS HIS HAND OVER HIS CHEST WHERE HIS HEART USED TO BE?

More old timey pirate outfits

I didn't really like what I was doing with the Robin and Nami ones so I'll probably redraw those later

Sanjis hair is just long enough to tie with a ribbon... no reason I just wanted Sanji to wear a ribbon in his hair. Also his legs are too long for the page 😡

I like to think Zoro stole one of Mihawks coats and just added some trinkets/souvenirs from all over the grand line.

(Was trying to research 1600s Spanish and French noble outfits cuz where else is a pirate gonna get their clothes if not steal from the rich and thats when I spilled my tea the other day 😞 and ended up drawing Jinbei to feel better 😆)

So um here’s some characters from a Hatchetfield au I got an idea of. More information after the break. But also if you wanna know more I’m happy to share. I don’t have a lot right now but ideas are flowing.

Prince Howard Goodman the “eldest” and crown prince of the royal family. He’s a very diplomatic person but not great in a fight.

Captain John MacNamara the captain of the royal guard. Charged himself with the responsibility of Keeping Prince Howard safe.

Captain Wiley, formally Wilbur Cross captain of the royal guard now a pirate. He’s actually technically the first mate of the Wiggly as it’s captain is the god Wiggog Y’Wrath but Wiley tends to take care of all the heavy lifting when it comes to others.

Douglas Keane an orphaned amnesiac named for his adoptive father Douglas Keane Sr the former captain of the guard that keeps their little island town safe. Douglas Keane was nicknamed Duke of the Lost or Duke for short not only due to his own past but also because he runs the islands only orphanage and takes care of any kid that needs it.

Captain Holloway is a witch that also just so happens to be a pirate on occasion. She used to be the apprentice to the kings magician but after an accident she had to flee as no one could remember who she or a friend of hers were.

Sheila Young is a noble woman who has a tendency to dabble in both the dark arts and piracy. A noble woman gets bored of the monotony of courtly life after all. She and Holloway have a difficult relationship.

Missing Women of HOTD - Marilda of Hull

A familiar sight about her father’s shipyards, the girl was better known as Mouse, for she was “small, quick, and always underfoot.”

When Addam was ten and Alyn nine, their mother inherited the yards upon her own father’s death, sold them, and used the coin to take to the sea herself as the mistress of a trading cog she named Mouse. A canny trader and daring captain, by 130 AC Marilda of Hull owned seven ships, and her bastard sons were always serving on one or the other.

That Addam and Alyn were dragonseed no man who looked upon them could doubt, though their mother steadfastly refused to name their father. Only when Prince Jacaerys put out the call for new dragonriders did Marilda at last break her silence, claiming both boys were the natural sons of the late Ser Laenor Velaryon.

On Driftmark, the town of Hull experienced a rebirth. Scores of new ships were built and launched, and Lord Oakenfist’s mother greatly expanded her own trading fleets, and began work on a palatial manse overlooking the harbor that Mushroom dubbed the Mouse House.

On his tomb is engraved a single word: LOYAL. Its ornate letters are supported by carvings of a seahorse and a mouse.

The fleet set sail at mid-year, led by Oakenfist in a galley he named Bold Marilda after his mother.

I can't believe we had to sit through Sharako Lohar the cool lesbian slaver when we could have had this Queen instead.

Both her sons are so proud of their mother and she's clearly so important to them, it's so shitty the show erased her. And then there's 30-year-old Show Alyn giving a speech about going hungry just to rub the salt in the wound - because we can't have Bold Captain Marilda and her fleet of trading ships. It's not as though this season centered around a sea blockade or anything.

We could have had Marilda play an active role in that blockade. Though of course, the entire plotline of the famine in King's Landing was ridiculous. Most of their food comes from the Reach, the Breadbasket of the Realm, by Road. That was why there was a famine in the War of the Five Kings when the Tyrells blocked the Rose Road. But we all knew the writers hadn't really thought the famine through the moment the starving crowd started throwing food in protest-

But if we had to have it, then Marilda could have been the one tasked with delivering the food aid. Or if we focused on the actual effects of the blockade (its impact on trade of goods from the free cities, which would have been more luxury goods impacting the wealthier of King's Landing), we could have had Marilda being the liaison with other disgruntled captains and traders, or the one helping to keep them in line and not break the blockade.

Imagine also if we had a book-accurate depiction of the Sowing of the Seeds (no Squid-gaming a crowd of bastards into a room and ringing the dinner bell for a crazy religious ritual or whatever the show was going for in The Bells Round 2). If instead of divine intervention dropping a dragon on a passive Addam (and triggering Rhaenyra's descent into crazy cult leader apparently) he was actually able to be a character with agency - actively responding to Jace's call for dragonseeds and willing to take the risk. Because he's Bold Marilda's son.

We could have then had Corlys quietly begging Marilda to keep the boys parentage a secret so he doesn't shame the memory of his recently deceased wife. And Marilda says "sure no problem" and then turns around with the baldest of bald faced lies that the kids are Laenor's and watches the succession chaos unfold (until Book Jace of course saves the day with "Yay, new brothers! Please Mom can I keep them?"). Marilda stares Corlys down until he guiltily chimes in to request his 'grandsons' be legitimised.

We could have seen Marilda's guilt and grief at what happens to her bold and daring youngest son - an age-accurate Alyn (14) who eagerly tries to follow in his big brother's shadow and suffers burns for life. Heck, the show could have even paralleled Marilda and Addam at Alyn's sickbed with Alicent and Kylo Raemond at Aegon's sickbed - only with actual love in the room.

We could have had Marilda's pride at watching Addam legitimised and knighted, tainted by sadness at the cost to Alyn, but relief that both her sons survived. We could have had her keeping a recovering Alyn company while Jace trains with Addam and the other dragonseeds (replacing the little brother he lost). We could have had her be the one to confront Corlys for his absence. We could have had Corlys make it up to her by telling Alyn tales of his voyages, offering him an alternative path now that he can't join Addam as a dragonrider.

It would have been a hell of a lot more engaging than Dull 30-year-old Alyn having what feels like the same conversation with Corlys over and over again about that time he was the sailor who pulled him from the sea-

Or Less Dull But For Some Reason Younger Addam, who talks about wanting an opportunity for glory but ultimately is a passive character who gets a dragon landed on him. Contrast to Nice Man With Wife And Sick Daughter Hugh, and Funny Drunk Ulf - two white men who we are for some reason following instead of Nettles, and who actually get to make the active decision to go claim a dragon. Because they get to be written with motives and agency.

Considering the treatment of Laena, the erasure of Baela's personality, the decision to merge Nettles with Rhaena, the dullification of Alyn and Addam... and considering the rush to shower attention on Hugh and Ulf and genderbent Sharako Lohar and Gwayne Hightower of all people...

It does lead me to conclude that any potential interest the writers may have had in adapting certain characters... abruptly vanished the moment a certain casting decision was made.

I do think a lot abt teague and the way he just completely changes from awe to ost like it's actually so fascinating to me bc like it does a little bit read to me like the writers realised they had keith richards of the rolling stones of I can't get no satisfaction of paint it black and they'd very much implied he was a menace and a bad father even if he did look really cool during all of it and sort of backtracking on it a little bit like the difference really is so stark between the two movies is actually crazy like in ost he's like mysterious and wears a funny hat but like he's generally helpful and seems chill to be around. in awe his own son tenses up at the mere mention of him and he swings dead women's heads around willy nilly like it's really no wonder all the books latched onto the child abuse angle bc it really is so right there. and idk like I do feel like you can sort of justify the change with jack and him I guess reconnecting a bit now that jack is also ancient but I do like the visual of big disney realising they'd accidentally turned their expensive celebrity cameo into the ceo of child abuse like that's funny to me sorry

You know one of the major flaws in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is the idea that Elizabeth Swann-Turner, Pirate King would retire to an island and be just a mom.

Where's the TV series of her getting into shenanigans, Murder She Wrote style?

Like, she knows better than the governor. She can't just sit by and watch him put his ridiculous naval policies into place.

With her upper class upbringing (and father's inheritance no doubt), she's not going to at least think about hiring a nanny instead of not just hand raising, but homeschooling her child?

After a taste of adventure, she's going to just sit on her laurels and wait till she can see her man again in 10 years?? I think not

i can't be the only one, but i'm living under the assumption that pirates of the caribbean and black sails take place in the same universe; the characters just don't interact with each other

Just watched the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy the other day and I just have to say, Elizabeth Swan is such a badass female protagonist. Even in just the first movie, but the others extenuate it well. And her whole arc from "Governors daughter who might marry the Commodore but is secretly in love with the Blacksmith" too "Pirate queen and respected captain of a Singaporean pirate vessel". It was such a cool journey.

Not to mention the fact that it's a Disney film with very dark and adult themes and implications, which I very much doubt they'd ever make anything like that series again nowadays.

Honestly I've fallen in love with the series again, although I probably wont watch 4 & 5. I just want some pirates discourse rn.

This is from a pie chart about pirates/werewolves/cowboys & while it's not 100% necessarily wrong, and the history behind piracy can be interesting, I feel like a lot of ppl forget pirates were also like. Partaking in oppressive systems. Especially ones from the golden age of piracy. Pirates very often engaged in the slave trade & would regularly kidnap enslaved Africans from slave ships so THEY could sell them, or even were rich & owmed plantations with slaves themselves. and while yes there's also cases of previously enslaved Black people fleeing slavery in favor of piracy, pirates engaging in the slave trade was so prevalent to the point that they would sell their OWN BLACK CREWMATES into slavery when they felt like it. Most pirates were also dudes & would also pretty regularly rape & abuse women, pretty horrifically. There's a reason Ann Bonnie & Mary Reed disguised themselves as men. You could argue that maybe they meant "pirates" as in like modern digital piracy like for tormenting movies, or the general much wider definition of "pirate", but i feel like that's not what the post meant since the one I'm talking about (who sail the seas on a ship w a captain, so forth) very often also gets mentioned alongside werewolves & cowboys.

Cowboys share a similar history that while yes, very many cowboys actually weren't White (or rather there was a lot more nonwhite cowboys than Western movies would like to have you believe), a lot of (White) cowboys were very racist & often displaced Indigenous peoples, & the job (of ranching & working as a cowboy) was also used in the assimilation of Native people.

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

[aaaarsonist]

Pirates of the Caribbean au (just the first three movies though): Tweek as Elizabeth, Craig as Will and Kenny as Jack. Kyle as Norrington is so funny to me ksldksmkz. Clyde would be Ragetti, though I'm not sure who would fit as Pintel (maybe Jason? Idk). Gibbs is a tough one, maybe Stan. Wendy as Anamaria.

I need Henrietta as Calypso. I don't care about Davy right now (Damien could maaaybe fit, but I'd make their relationship platonic)

Bebe as Barbossa, I love the friendship/rivalry between Jack and him, and I think it would fit Kenny and Bebe perfectly jksdks. Also I LOVE the idea of her marrying Tweek and Craig <3

Cartman could be Beckett 'cause he's an asshole.
