#for us it's a book that was printed in 1911 I think #or 1912? 1917? #anyway 1910s #a translation from English of a somewhat sentimental Christian book #(not saying that the things depicted don't happen irl but it becomes sentimental when it's a fictional narrative) #but frankly better than today's Christian fiction #I have no idea how we happen to have it #№2 would be a painting of the Virgin Mary and Child that my great-grandmother picked up upon first coming to Poland right after ww2 #(Ukrainian -- met my great-grandfather in Germany -- he was a forced labourer -- she... long story -- moved to Poland with him afterwards) #it's anyones guess how old it is #or what it's history would be... who first owned it... #She found it in an antique shop and - not having any money - traded her boots for it because she liked it that much #therese rambles #polls

This isn’t actually a real problem it’s just a pet peeve of mine but every time I see someone write or draw Izzy and Ed as bright eyed bushy tailed kids(read late teens early 20s) on Hornigolds ship making dumb fuck promises to each other that they’re going to break/won’t be able to keep back before the world chewed them up and spit them out I die inside a little bit because there is a grizzled villain with a cold heart that plays that roll much better than Izzy ever could and it’s Calico fucking Jack. You are taking that roll away from my bestest boy.

Because like it or not there is canon evidence that Jack played that roll in Ed’s life and there’s no canon evidence that Izzy ever did, and in fact there’s evidence against it. I’ll start with the evidence against Izzy. It’s scant but it’s there. “I was honored to work for the legendary Blackbeard” is not something a man who has known Ed since before he was Blackbeard would say, but it is something someone who was hired on after the legend was already established would. everything about the way that Izzy acts about Ed being vulnerable all of a sudden screams that he didn’t know Ed before the Blackbeard mask.

Calico Jack on the other hand has textually known Ed since they first became outlaws. When they interact with each other they’re playing like they’re boys again, or at least much younger men. They drink like there’s no tomorrow, they put their bodies through hell in the name of fun, they line up empty bottles to shoot whip them of the fence boat railing, and they have a fun little name for everything. And while we the audience never see a softer side to Jack because he’s there with a specific nefarious goal and he is built to cause problems on purpose, we’re told it’s there by Ed. Ed, the one person on the ship who actually knows who the fuck Jack is tells us that “Jack’s always been a bit emotional, the two of you(Jack and Stede) actually have more in common than you think. I know he comes on a bit strong at first but he’s insecure.”

Like to me that establishes very clearly that they were friends when they were young and dumb, maybe not very close friends, but compatriots who bonded through the struggles they went through as young men who the world and their boss was beating down on, and that Jack at least opened up to Ed enough for Ed to know that he’s insecure. We also know that these two were fucking ambitious. They fucking grew up to be two of the most notorious pirates on the seven seas. If anyone was going to make stupid fucking promises to each other and then drift apart it would be them I can imagine Jack telling Ed that they’re always gonna be together and that the whole sea is gonna fear their names, and then at some point they out grow that. A ship only has one captain. The world chewed them up and spit them back out and made Ed bored, lonely, guilt ridden, and suicidal and it turned Jack into an alcoholic and a manipulative monster who believes that pirates don’t have friends and who chases his own pleasure at the expense of everyone else even himself. Like I can clearly see the through line to a relationship like I described with Ed and Jack but I have to really stretch my imagination to see Ed and Izzy that way. It just kind of annoys me when Izzy gets to have that spot in Ed’s life in the fandom’s mind when Jack is right there and that’s a good half of what makes Jack fun and interesting.

#the other half is of course everything else about him #he peed on stede's boots #i cannot stress that enough #he's so funny #my skrungly #edward teach #edward teach ofmd #calico jack #calico jack ofmd #Jack and ed are engaging in classic country boy antiques with whippies #ofmd #Our flag means death #izzy hands #i don't care if you get mad at me for main tagging this post that is very izzy neutral #argue with your mother #he's in the post get over yourself #I just want the fandom to see Jack how I see Jack #he has layers or at least he used to #he's funny and cool and hot and also just the worst #and Ed likes him #accept him into your hearts #he's chaotic evil #he's a hedonist #such a fucking dick #he's continuing the cycle of violence #he and Ed are both canonically recreating the abuse they went through on Hornigolds ship #it's just that Jack has fun doing it probably where as Ed doesn't like it and has Izzy Fang and Ivan do most of it for him #I'm minnesotan and whippies are relatable next question #where I live you got a bebe gun when you were 10 for xmas and you took the beer bottles your dad was going to recycle #and you take the out onto the fence and you line them up and you splode them

was thinking about how pants are constructed today and got amusedly reminded of this one paper that analyzed and reconstructed some pants common in Late Antiquity Levant and Africa. Because the pants make you look a bit like you're wearing a saggy diaper

Even the line drawings are done. To convey the sag

#cipher talk #One understands why pants weren't all that popular when that's what you're dealing with at the time #I also think the back slits are inelegant executed #The rationale is they make the bottoms of the lebs easier to tuck into boots and such #And I think the design of cutting out a rectangle is probably more durable #But good l-rd just cut a normal SLIT #Not everyone who wore these could possibly have been hiding that fashion crime in their boots #For one thing the Coptic boots I've seen (at least two Coptic examples of these pants are discussed in the paper) aren't talk enough #I've seen one pair of Coptic Late Antique boots that I'd judge as knee high. The rest are mid calf #You could I guess wear really long socks #But also. You're in the fucking MENA why would you do that.

When I started cosplaying Wednesday and researched her shoes???? SHE WEARS PRADA OXFORDS. TO. CLASS.

#listen I know the Addams are rich rich they live in a mansion #Partially I’m like: by why? She wouldn’t give into the desire for luxury fashion she’d prefer a set of antique Victorian boots or Oxfords #but to conclude #I went: that’s okay I’ll wear my big chunky combat boots that have seen the seventh layer of hell and wear for every cosplay #wednesday netflix #Wednesday #cosplay #also who am I to say anything about the costumes they were phenomenal and I am just a lowly artist hellbent on sewing

Rapture as a haunted house…….

#I cannot stop imagining a woman whose parter was stolen to be one of the first big daddies #he was a construction diver who one day doesn’t come home #and I imagine her in bed hearing those hollow stamping steps #and she sees when she wakes a puddle of water under her front door and two boot prints on her welcome mat #like if this were 2016 I would have already written a 2k poorly worded but emotionally honest fic about Sander Cohen being haunted by his #murdered lovers in fort frolic #but sadly I am an adult and instead have to go to the antique store #perhaps later #<- unlikely tho this backslide into bioshock is probably bc I’ve been living alone for two weeks #and I’ve got a couple more so maybe I will be writing bioshock again at some point #I’d have to replay the games…. #myb…. #barefoot raps the news #the potential for hauntings rapture is just immense it would be so fun and so pretty

"how do you manage to appear to have expensive tastes when you have little enough money to be driving a car from 1996" very carefully.

#something something that one post where the person had their house full of antiques #was asked “are you rich” #and said “the most expensive thing in this picture is the cat and he was $60” #vimes boots theory of economics is true and i fall just barely above the line where i can save up enough for the good boots #but low enough that the united states federal government tells me i can go to college for free #my favorite flannel shirt does have a hole in the elbow though. it's very sad

Sometimes the gender is stored in the boots.

#got some steel toes at an antique mall #they fit perfect and theyre almost new #the old man who ran the shop smiled and said ‘ah! my kind of boots!’ #and my cousins boyfriend wants to steal them even though theyd never fit him #they arent pretty but they feel good to wear #feel like armor #idk im sentimental and coping with almost a week of being misgendered at every turn #it speaks
