Can we stop all normalising the use of "sc*rvy" as a fun little thing to call people?? I literally had sc*rvy last year and it was even worse than when I got my hand cut off. Fuck anyone who uses the S word without even considering how triggering it can be to those of us who have ACTUALLY suffered though it

wildest argument for piracy i've ever heard was that the gold stored on government ships is dangerous cause it weighs them down, so they're just 'lightening the load'

Best present Jenkins gave us is we no longer have the threat of a first mate Izzy performing the matelotage ceremony of his captains, Ed and Stede, complete with "twat" and middle fingers and other cringe and painfully unfunny things to pander to his fans.

Most painful wound Jenkins inflicted on us is we won't have first mate Buttons performing the matelotage ceremony of his captains, Ed and Stede, in all his weird glory. All the devoted things he said about the sea, I have no doubt he would've made the most unexpectedly romantic speech in the ceremony. Maybe us mere mortals are too unprepared for such beauty, and we never deserved it in the first place.

Guess the show will just have to repeat everyone performing the ceremony? Love LuPete, but I think Ed/Stede need their own different spin when Ed wifes (gn) that man so hard.

OFMD spoiler and speculation

That’s the “I’m at a wedding with my boyfriend and I’m looking at him like ‘what about it? Could be us next’ and he’s trying to pretend I’m not giving him that ole matelotage eye.”

and my boyfriend is looking like…”omg, that’s going to me next! It’s inevitable. I can’t fight this one and win! I guess Blackbeard doesn’t always win after all!”

😍💍

[arabellaofsadness]

So it's now clear to me the direct parallel david was going for in s1 to build up in s2. from stede being uncomfy on a married state to him finally deciding compromising with ed for love at the last ep. My point is i'm 80% sure there's gonna be a matelotage at some point in OFMD, like i KNOW the moment stede finds out he CAN MARRY the love of his love through this, is over for us girlies (gender neutral)

Apparently some people are upset about Lupete being declared mateys??? It didn’t occur to me that not every member of the fandom has an extensive knowledge of historical pirate practices like matelotage lmao

(Side note has anyone made a gifset of all the timed Ed called Stede “mate”? Just for the likely future parallel lol)

I really hope the party/celebration everyone seems to be at in the trailer (you know before they all get tortured) is a wedding reception. Doubtful it will be Ed and Stede’s. But maybe Lucius and Pete? Pretty pretty please.

For the made-up fic title game: The Coast Is Never Clear

daniel ricciardo is a PIRATE CAPTAIN and has not a care in the world. he's gripping his cutlass between his implausibly white teeth and laughing as he swarms up the rigging, he's fucking (willing) captives on piles of gold doubloons, he's having a glorious time. he's covered with tattoos and dead to polite society and he wouldn't have it any other way.

one day daniel and his men attack a fat dutch schooner only to find that instead of gold or treasure it's laden with... fabric. daniel is very "fucks sake" about this, because what is he meant to do with a load of damask? but the merchant whose ship it is says hey. if you let me live, i'll help you sell this and we can split the profits. this is sensible for both of us.

daniel is like lol that's cute, you are my literal prisoner, how are you bargaining right now. but also, if you're this relaxed with my sword at your throat you're probably pretty good at negotiating so... fine i guess.

as they make their way to [waves hand] whichever port it is where they'll unload their wares, he starts spending more and more time with the merchant. he's blunt and snide and funny, and he laughs at daniel's jokes helplessly, as though they're the funniest things in the world. he has a weird, beaky face but daniel can't stop looking at it, somehow: doesn't want to stop. they have sex and it feels different than sex usually does, like it means something.

he takes to life at sea, the merchant: the men all respect him and soon he's become daniel's de facto second in command. when they reach port, daniel is like hey, i've just met you... and this is crazy... buuuuut have you heard of this thing called matelotage/fancy ditching your nice safe merchant life and being pirate-married to me? & the merchant smiles so big he almost cracks his jaw and says "i think that would be simply lovely."

New Headcanon - OFMD

And I don't take/mean headcanons too seriously... Ed and Stede already matelotaged. They had a double wedding, did theirs right after Lucius and Pete's, and didn't want to steal too much of their thunder.

We didn't see it, but it would have been revealed in season three they were already mateys. Then we would have had all this pouting time of "Awww, but I wanted to see their wedding!" and moved on to watching them struggle through that marriage together, learning how to keep it strong until they end up exactly like Mary and Annie - driving each other nuts but at the end of the day, adoring and crazy for one another.

Yeah it's bull, but it's a way to cope. Not that they need to be married, but the PARALLEL dammit. Feels off balanced 💔

[korirambles]

I love thinking about Lucius and Pete’s wedding more specifically the knives because something in my brain hearing about the face slashing immediately made me think about Mary Read and that big scar across her face  I can definitely see her being into having anne cut her face, and I think other people need to also be aware of this thought I have

Ok hm I just found out Ed and Stede could totaly get married.

It's called matelotage. It's a pirate civil union they used to do between two men, where they would share assets, often live together, vow to protect and care for each other, and it was for life. So, you know, basically pirate gay marriage, in very simplistic historically inaccurate terms.

If one of them died, the matelot would be garanteed his share of the loot and his stuff. It wasn't always romantic though, it did happen for platonic unions or even ones of economical interest. But, from what I could gather at least, it was mostly romantic or sexual or both.

Sorry if I said any wrong information here, this is just knowledge from a youtube video and a fifteen minute google search, so I might have said some shit. The point is, Ed and Stede could totaly get married in the gay pirate way. They could be matelots, if they wanted to. i just think that's really awesome.

Captain Oluwande Jimenez

When I fall asleep I can see your face

What I lost in you I will not replace

And if you see me in the darkness

I hope you know I'm not alone

I carry you with every breath I take

I won't let up, I won't let up

Until the wind is gone

-Bleachers, Like A River Runs

The idea surges in Olu's chest: him as co-Captain would mean that he's in charge. No one would ever be able to tear Jim or Archie away from him again. No one could even try.

Olu wants that guarantee more than anything. He wants to be able to continue pirating with this crew, with this family, while guaranteeing as best he can the safety of all of these people he's come to love. And yes, he's not the most ambitious type, but if he can take a position that maybe tampers down some of Stede's more outlandish ideas and allows them all to keep the jobs and the lives they love?

There are only two people who could stop him.

Olu looks to Jim and Archie. “Would you two be okay with that?”

“You being a co-captain?” Archie lets out a delighted laugh. “Man, I can think of no one better! You’re the best leader I’ve ever met!”

And Jim, Jim who hates authority, Jim who is the first person to call out Stede and Blackbeard for being shitty captains, Jim looks to Olu as if he’s hung the sun.

“Jim?” Olu asks, voice tender, because he thinks he knows their answer but still needs to hear it anyway, because he refuses to accept the position if it means that Jim will ever look at him with fear in their eyes.

But Jim has no fear. No hesitations. “It would be an honor to sail under you, Oluwande Boodhari,” Jim says fervently, pledging themself to the cause more devotedly than they ever signed up for Nana’s revenge mission.

-aletterinthenameofsanity, let's take a chance, baby, we can't lose (it's the one thing you can choose)

Captain Oluwande my beloved! It was so exciting getting to see his relationship with Jim and Archie develop into something incredibly solid, fun, and absolutely devoted. Possibly my favorite OT3 of all time (tied with maybe Parker, Hardison, and Eliot from Leverage, if that). They would all cross the sea for each other (and have, multiple times)! This fic is the one that focuses on their matelotage ceremony and it is the sweetest thing in the world.
