I've got gay pirate brainrot
there is no cure
In a way, as painful as it is, it’s great seeing who the legendary Blackbeard really is (Not Ed, not just Blackbeard, the Legendary Blackbeard)
From the beginning of the show they tell us about this terrifying, monstrous pirate, Blackbeard. Then we meet him and see he’s just a dork who is bored and really likes Stede’s lifestyle. Our thoughts are just, “Oh, he must be just a dork with a bad reputation”
And when Izzy or Calico Jack say things like “You’ve changed” or “The Blackbeard I knew would have killed them in a heartbeat”, and our reaction is like Stede’s. “That is absurd” “Maybe these people don’t know Ed” “Our Ed, doing that, being a monster, let me laugh”
So when Ed then throws Lucius off-board with a cold, disturbing expression and cuts Izzy’s finger off and makes him eat it we are shocked.
We didn’t think Blackbeard was this. Izzy and Calico tried to warn us, their characters told us, but we didn’t listen. Because we are so in love with Ed as Stede is, and we know Ed, but we didn’t know Blackbeard
Every time I think about the fact that Akechi was Joker’s justice, and vice versa, I lose my mind at how intimate it is.
Akechi made you promise before he died to take down the man that had hurt you both, and when another man brought him back to play puppets he asks you to put an end to it as well. Akechi’s justice was never about him doing the final strike, his was allowing someone else to do it for him. His justice was having someone who cared enough to listen to him, and to do as he wished.
But for Joker, his justice was taking down the man who had killed his friend and framed him with his own two hands. His justice was deciding, that no, he refused to live in an illusion and then did something about it himself. Joker’s justice was taking the injustice done to you, and those around you, and being given the chance to end it yourself.
Akechi’s justice was having someone listen, and Joker’s justice was being given the chance to enact it himself. They perfectly mirrored each other, and understood what the other needed without even saying anything about it. It’s just so intimate, how could I not lose my mind over them?
