And another thing! Literally any queer story that takes place during the colonial age would have a huge gaping hole in it if it didn't have anticolonialism as a theme. Especially one that centers indigenous people. Like the reason that every culture had their own concepts of gender until something happened and then suddenly the gender binary was ubiquitous is because western European colonial powers made their view of gender the only acceptable one as part of christianizing and colonizing the world. You're not gonna have a show set in 1717 in the Caribbean where the love interest is a gay Maori man and the main deuteragonist is a non-binary mestizo catholic and just skip over colonialism. Like these are exactly the people who western gender roles are being forced on at fucking gun point during this era. Jim and Ed are both mixed race characters who's gender and sexual identities are in active defiance of the colonial powers that be. And this is the fucking Stede Ed and Jim show.

And there's something to be said for the fact that Stede's toxic masculinity plot line is internalized and Ed's struggle with toxic masculinity is largely external in the form a white guy who rubs elbows with the British Navy when Ed doesn't behave to his standard of masculinity. That choice didn't come out of nowhere and it shows a deep understanding of where homophobia comes from. That's not to say that precolonial communities of color were paradise for people that we today would consider queer but the rich tapestry of sexual and gender expressions that existed in those communities were erased in the name of colonialism. That's going to affect literally any queer person at the time when OFMD is set. These two things are inextricably linked.

Like when David Jenkins says a lot of what we're taught about being men is wrong, motherfucker who taught us what a man was. Who taught Ed what a man was? Who taught Stede what a man was for that matter? It's the white dad with the English accent who is violent (derogatory) and overbearing.

Like you get what I'm saying right? Like it's a silly little rom com but also it must necessarily be that deep because of who these characters are and when and where they exist.

[arsenicflame]

since we all appear to be talking about izzy 'calling the police' on stede id like to offer my silly little two cents:

its not like the navy wasn't actively looking for him anyway??????

at most, izzys actions sped up badminton catching up with stede, but its made very clear that badminton wanted Stede dead well before this, and was willing to use whatever he could to find him- whos to say jackie wouldnt have cut a deal on her own? that any other pirate thats seen them being unsubtle in a port wouldn't take the opportunity to make a quick buck over a guy who is Nobody and holds no influence that could lead to any consequences for them?

in reality izzy is probably the only person who would receive negative repercussions to selling out stede, given his personal connection with ed- any other pirate would probably have gotten away unscathed, anonymous. they likely wouldnt have even been present like izzy was. izzy had personal stakes, anyone else would have taken the money and ran

the way i see it, with or without izzy the events of episode 10 probably would have happened in some degree, izzy just expedited the timeline

⠀⠀⠀ONE ⠀of the many marvels to be found here was the readiness with which one could have just about any food to complement any meal. Breakfast, for example, would be readily available according to the preferences of any given continent — along with those she's never set foot in, be they regions or entire new universes. This proved to provide its own share of difficulty, though; while not opposed to doing her own legwork, it was admittedly a tad daunting to have so many options practically at her fingertips. Something she normally wouldn't think twice about became an entirely different affair... but that's what good manners were for, yes ?

Just came back from a seminar on British pronounciation.

The fact that I thought about how George would pronounce the words says a lot about me. F1 brainrot is real and I have it.

What if we change it up a little? Beings do not have a natural crime multiplier, instead, they gain it from prison breaks. So Walker’s card could look something like this. When he is on the field, he adds a list of ‘rules’. The first being something like lying about a rune, taking an artifact/object that was unequipped from an opponent while within line of sight of Walker or his goons, or possibly framed for a crime like if they land on a trap card. (Maybe even a card called ‘crime of convenience’ where if you pass by or land on this dud card within line of sight of Walker or his goons, you are framed for a crime so a hood strategy could be to place a police goon by that card or something). And then Walker can add a new rule of their choice every turn as long as it does not interfere with the game mechanics (so you can’t say stuff like if you don’t follow this rule, I win the game. Or if you don’t tap your deck, your character takes 10 damage). When you are caught not following a rule, you gain a crime counter.

Anyways, the crime counters can either make Walker stronger or force someone into jail (if Walker’s jail is on the field, which could probably be a location). Basically, the amount of crime counters you have determines what happens. Maybe Walker gets +10 to his attack and +1 will for every being with a crime counter on them (regardless of numbers). If Walker defeats someone while his jail in on the field, then instead of sticking them in a thermos, he sends them to that location. Anyone besides Walker and his goons (or a human) gets stuck in that location of they pass through it or land there, or if they transport there in a natural portal. And since the win condition is ‘capture all ghosts’ it counts even if a ghost isn’t in a thermos. So for example, if Pariah Dark hadn’t been summoned yet and is still in his coffin, or if a ghost is in ‘jail’ that counts as ‘captured’. Anyways, the ghost are now in jail but since they aren’t in a thermos, they can try to get out. To escape

There could probbaly be a few ways this could happen. Maybe there’s a jailbreak card, or they can use one of their movements and make a roll, if they get the highest roll (or just a high roll). Or maybe they and their oponent both roll and if you roll higher than your oponent (or tie?) you escape? Or maybe they could try attacking the prison? (Or a Halfa could just transform into a human and then are no longer affected and can leave the location.) I’ll decide how escape is possible later. What matters is that once a ghost escapes, they gain a crime multiplier. They all start out with a multiplier of 1. First escape gets a 2, second escape gets a 3 and so on. And the more crimes you have, the easier it is to get caught again. (And maybe Walker could get something like for every 3 crimes, he Gaines +10 attack and +1 will? Maybe not though.) But basically how it works is that of you have 1-3 crimes, Walker or his goons have to defeat your being to send them to jail (only works on ghosts though. Humans just get sent to the graveyard.). If you have 4-7 crimes, Walker doesn’t need to defeat you. He can roll, and of it’s higher than your will, you are automatically sent to jail. (and I’m debating if humans just aren’t affected or if they can still be transported to the jail, they can just leave it unlike ghosts. So a strategy could be to put traps or curses around the jail?). And if you have 8-10 crime counters, then if the attacker has a higher Will than their opponent (which is Walker the more crimes others commit) then any prison personal can just outright attack you and you are sent to jail. If their will is lower, they still need to roll higher than the oponent’s will and they do 10 extra damage if an attack lands (effective against human opponents). And if it’s 11 or more crime counters, then it starts a manhunt and all prison personal gain a free movement per turn as long as it’s in the direction of an escaped prisoner.

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter. 

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge. 

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game. 

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely). 

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.
