Sometimes I think about the fact that Frenchie sets the stage of Our Flag Means Death's world by starting us off with a song about how the world of pirates is a short and violent one, but how, despite that, it's still a desirable life, because it's "short but nice".

Our heroes do not live in a muppet world of pirates expecting long, happy lives and favoring cheerful shenanigans, and it's Frenchie who reveals that to us. It's also Frenchie who says, when asked about someone returning from a raid mentally devastated, that they should "bottle it up". It's Frenchie who sees a fancy party full of bigoted wealthy whites as an opportunity to make some money in a way that humiliates the fucks who wanted to humiliate him and Oluwande. And it's Frenchie who asks if Blackbeard and Company are going to kill them when the Revenge has been occupied.

Frenchie, despite his lighthearted demeanor, is pretty damned astute. He's clever and quick to evaluate the odds, and he does it without getting grim and bitter and overcautious. He's having a blast of a good time not because he doesn't know piracy is dangerous, but because he does and he's determined to make a good time of it anyway.

In another words, he's a pretty good choice to be an anti-Izzy Hands, at least in terms of helping out a captain. I don't know what Ed will do with Frenchie in season 2 now that the sewing is done, but I imagine he took Frenchie instead of Wee John, even though Wee John has the neater hand at sewing, because Frenchie is the person he saw running a scam and getting away clean, Frenchie is the one who saw *Ed* upset and immediately validated the source of the emotion (they're such dicks about spoons!), and Frenchie knows how to be a pirate.

He just knows how to have fun with it, too. If Lucius is an emotional counterpoint to Izzy (shoulder angel vs shoulder devil), then Frenchie could very well be a piratical counterpoint to Izzy, pointing out ways that they can find the balance between the softer, gentler life Ed hoped to find with Stede, and the grim, bloody realities of a pirate's life, so it can be short but nice. Because Ed's life, after all, has not been very nice.

#frenchie ofmd #edward teach #ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd meta #this is technically theorizing for season 2 but LOOK im just saying #frenchie was not taken JUST for the sewing #frenchie saw ed in a vulnerable space and he wasn't a dick about it #and i think that has a LOT to do with why it was frenchie who was picked up to be kept #jim after all is the only person on the ship who's clearly dangerous enough to run with blackbeard #but frenchie's smart #frenchie has brains #and frenchie knows how to calculate the odds. i dont think he's going to do nothing. #chu watches ofmd again #technically this is part of my liveblog bc im listening to the song again

Maybe this is a controversial take (it shouldn’t be, its in the text) but.

People really need to come to terms with the fact that Edward ‘loves a good maim‘, ‘made some poor bloke eat his own toes for a laugh’, ‘thoroughly enjoyed whippies/yardies/turtle vs crab/Calico Jack’s Whole Deal’, ‘Blackbeard always wins and I don’t even have to try and I’m bored of that’, ‘first instinct is to go for the gun’, ‘gouged an eye out of some lad’s skull and called it an anecdote’, ‘set a ship on fire with people still inside and called it a technicality’, ‘capable of becoming the Kraken’ Teach enjoys violence. (No moral judgements here, violence is rarely taken seriously by the narrative and he’s literally a pirate)

On the flip side: Israel ‘flashy sword work without so much as scratching Stede’, ‘concerned about the loss of lives of the Queen Anne’s crew’, ‘offers a quick death for Stede to Edward’, ‘loser is banished from the ship’, ‘negotiated for only Stede to be killed despite the rest of the pirates on the ship’, ‘takes away rations instead of flogging for insubordination’, ‘wants Blackbeard because people don’t fight Blackbeard’ Hands does not, actually, enjoy violence. He puts on a lot of bluster but ultimately everything he does is meant to keep himself (and Edward) safe, which requires a reputation for violence but necessitates a lack of actual serious violence (for the sake of violence at least).

Ed likes violence because its enrichment for his perpetually under-stimulated ADHD mind, he is the tiger with the meat pumpkin. Izzy doesn’t like violence because he just wants to survive and its so much harder to do that if you’re getting in needless fights.

I don’t necessarily agree that Izzy is a cut and dry masochist, it might be the only way he knows how to connect (intricate rituals and all that) but I don’t think its something he’d go for first if he knew there were other options that were safe to want (its why he’s so perplexed by Lucius, who has the connections without the violence), but even if you do think he is: its a different kind of violence. Its not violence for the sake of violence. Its an exchange of trust. ‘I trust you to hurt me but not to harm me.’

Idk I feel like I’m always repeating myself in my meta posts lmao, but like. I can’t just not say something and let people continue to be wrong about fictional characters on the internet can I? lmfao That’d be awful.

#the dork is being a dork #izzy hands #edward teach #when i tell you how fuckin hesitant i am to tag ed lmfao #i should not feel like im poking a hornets nest because im tagging everyone's favorite woobie 'not technically' murderous pirate #talking about how‚ canonically‚ he is actually pretty murderous and he's happy to be #(i LIKE ed and i like him violent! but he's fucked up! not uniquely fucked up and i like him BECAUSE he's fucked up anyway but he is!) #and because im also saying that everyone's favorite scapegoat isn't actually the devil in the form of a 5 foot nothing man with a great rack #and a daddy kink #anyway this isn't in response to anything #just something i've been thinking about lately

#1st we have eddie diaz from 911 #then eddie munson from stranger things #and now eddie dear from welcome home #the only reason im not including nygma from gotham(fox) is because he went by ed. #but. oh my fucking god its four isnt it. four queer-coded eddies. a queer quartet. FUCK LMFAO- #(and yes. yes i know eddie is canon not coded. However he technically fits and the others arent canon so Sh. shshshshs hush) #stg next time a character is named 'eddie' in whatever i watch/read #im Immediately gonna be side-eyeing them. I Know What You Are. #scribble salad #absolutely unprompted #im getting way too attached to eddie dear tho #i just know something bad is gonna happen to him #if it Hasnt Already yk #and after what happened to munson... idk if i can take it #(jk i can. my favorites always die so i go into enjoying a character Expecting Their Death) #its just... dear is just like me fr (blatantly lying) #i just sympathize with him real hard. having memory issues sucks ass!!! #and i lowkey hope that plays into a big part of his personal horror! bc it Is scary! very fuckin scary! #anyway three queer-coded eddies. lets goooooo #*four. fuck. sorry. #i cant believe its four eds....

The silence in the backseat was so profound that they twisted around just to make sure they hadn’t driven off without Ed somehow. Ed was staring at them, a vein twitching in his forehead. “Greed?” he said. “Yeah? What, you didn’t expect to see me?” Greed smirked. “You’re back?” Ed all but screeched. Ling and Greed’s minds blanked at the same moment, and they came to a sudden realization in unison. If Lan Fan’s sudden inhale beside them was any indication, she had too. “No one told him,” she said. Oops.

Greed's back. Everyone forgot to inform Ed.

#fma #fmab #ling yao #greed fma #edward elric #lan fan #my writing #greedling #this one is just an excuse to write silliness #greedling and ed are very fun to write #I just to need to write them all the time tbh #this is technically set after Woke Up New but it's not necessary to read that one for context #I mean. you SHOULD read that one too because I'm very proud of it #but if you just want silliness then this one is the way to go

[griancraft]

When are we going to acknowledge that making fun of young girls with EDs by directly attacking their symptoms and body is ableist and dangerous

#tw ed #discourse technically I guess #I’ve been trying to figure out how to word it but I think this says it all just fine #also yes this extends to BED it’s fucking awful what people will say to you with ur #but this post is about the restrictive ones #also it’s giving misogyny bc you praise skinny cis men in the same breath #* not ‘with ur’ I mean ‘to your face’

I think i've mentioned it before- but I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome- hypermobility type (not the classic or heart one)

but while this usually only makes my joints be able to wiggle out of place quite a bit easier- occasionally, it also makes them hurt.

Today is what I would consider a bad day (concerning my EDS). I was in a car, and as car rides go for me with my little funky brain, I sat with my legs bent.

And bending my legs for that long is not a great idea.

So now I've got one knee that aches really bad- other is not as bad but still not great.

for all of the times I joke about my hypermobility- sometimes I forget that my knees and joints can hurt this bad

#my bad days are far apart- which I am so very grateful for #but when they do happen it sucks #;-; #ehlers danlos syndrome #hypermobility #hypermobile eds #hypermobile ehlers danlos #EDS #sometimes I forget that EDS is technically a chronic thing and not just silly joints #I really need to be doing my exercises

[doubledyke]

i think the animation and sound design when eddy yells is really cool

#and the motion blur?? idfk the way the camera shakes lmao it just makes him louder somehow #i don't know technical terms so sue me #plus edd's delivery is excellent #and ed is adorable

something about finding the people who sit through your info dumps with joy on their face and enthusiasm for your passions. something about finding the people who info dump right back at you because they know you love hearing about their passions. something about finding the people who manage to sum up your being in one niche, oddly specific sentence that lives in your mind rent free for the rest of time. something about finding the people who not only accept you for who you are but embrace you for who you are. who not only tolerate your quirks and differences but love and cherish them.

In my special self-indulgent headcanon version of speech gifts, telepathy is a mind gift, but the equivalently difficult Speech gift is speaking in concepts

#so instead of using words you use straight concepts #this is a difficult skill not just because of its technical challenge but because there’s a proverbial language barrier #The way you think about something the way you understand certain ideas is different than other people’s #So communicating in concepts becomes a very intimate act in which you must intrinsically learn to #wrap your head around someone else’s worldview and respond in kind #The way I imagine it when you get to this level of study Speech classes begin to resemble anthropology #for example #what is a woman? What is a house? Are these concepts immutable? #How do those ideas translate across the bounds of culture? How do you specifically conceptualize these things? #One of the final assessments in Speech is choosing a word and defending how/why you conceptualize it the way you do. #You do this in a conversation with a professor that is held entirely in the language of concepts #It’s not just an assessment of eloquence but an assessment of whether you’ve #thought about how and in what ways you want to participate in society #anyways #yeah #I can and will extrapolate about dem sense higher ed and speech gifts and are so fun and malleable #celias journey #speech gifts #worldbuilding
