Crew Of The Revenge - Tumblr Posts
i cant believe edith piaf covered a pirate love song originally performed by izzy hands
I cannot express in words how much I love the crew in Our Flag Means Death. I adore how much personality they all have even tough they are stuck in the "background character" group. I would honestly watch it if any of them would have their own spin-off. I mean, I like Ed and Stede just fine, but look at these babies!!!
Frenchie: Oh, don't get me started on Frenchie, I adore the man. He's the literal impersonation of 'looks like a cinammon roll, could kill you'. My man is a DnD bard who invented pyramid schemes *and* fanfictions. Plus he may be the genius of his age while still believing in witches and crystals.
Wee John: Roomies! Man, how much more I'd like to see of this beautiful Drag Queen. Long live Calypso! And how much I whish to know if he sews his own drag clothes.🤔
Black Pete: It's not healthy how much I'm invested in "Blackbeard's most trusted man". He thinks he needs to create cool stories to get the others to like him, but he's actually very soft and caring. I mean, have you seen the finger he gave to Lucius? He's an angel.
Lucius: If it weren't from Ori from the Hobbit movies, he'd be my favorite scribe of all times. My man is underpaid for all the realitionship drama he has to listen to and his bonus consisted of getting thrown off the ship (which is, like, rude). Also, he can pickpocket Spanish Jackie???? Hi, yes, I'd like to order a backstory, possibly 20 hours long, please.
Buttons: Oh gosh, the Sea Witch. I'm in need of much more explanation and screen time dear writers. And he straight up talks to animals and curses people? Aunty took one look at him and went: "Yapp, that's the Sea Witch". I wonder how Frenchie haven't declared him an evil witch yet.
Roach: My man is a maniac cook whose also the medic just in case. He's half crazy and I couldn't thank him more for it. He also let's Stede request orange cakes from him which is just very sweet overall. Bro also invented peanut butter (like we wouldn't notice it), then fed it to an allergic person, then blamed it on a curse.
the Swede: It's most certainly not fair how well written he is for him to be standing in the background. He has the voice of an angel, please! He might not be the smartest person in the room, but he fucks like a jackhammer, I mean he became hot. That's something.
Jim: Oh, sometimes I cannot comprehend how great Jim is. They're mute, then a mermaid, then neither, 'cause they're just Jim! They're exactly the kinda person to give up revenge for 'not feeling the vibe' anymore. They also would kill anyone who hurts their crewfamily without batting an eye.
Oluwande: Don't even get me started on this beautiful, lovely teddy bear. He's the best hearted, but still serious and trustful of all. He literally gets along with everyone and we need so much people like him. Today's message is to be more like Olu!
Thank you for listening to my Ted-talk, don't worry, the 'why I love Izzy' will be a separate post will be, I couldn't fit him here.
Plus stuff I want to mention that this isn't directed against the writers, I know there were more than one problems with the founding of the second season. Rather, this is a compliment for all the hard work for these *excellent* characters! xx
As much as I love Ed and Stede I literally like any member of the Revenge Crew better, so here are five more background character that have deeper personality than the Atlantic Ocean:
Spanish Jackie: Is she Jackie? Yes. Is she Spanish? No. The perfect combo. She's the strong female character every media needs. Having her own pirate bar, kicking out everyone and everything she doesn't like is the best life anyone can ever have. At this point if she asked me to marry her I'd gladly be her twenty second spouse.
Karl: One minute silence for the memory of Karl please. I think everything has been said about him already. Good friend, navigator, great husband, loyal companion. Rest in peace Karl.
Olivia: Imagine being the cool heroine who - after her husband not coming home - finds his best friend, learns how he died, helps to avenge him and then stays and fills the position he used to be in. I think she doesn’t get enough credit. More 👏 love 👏 for 👏 Olivia.
Fang (Kevin): Man, look at that jawline! I cannot believe he haven't been sketched before. I really like about him that even in those first few episodes where he was supposed to be a scary big guy he just looked like a big marshmallow. (*in Spanish Jackie's voice*: but I love me a marshmallow.)
Ivan: the guy is the kind of man who goes like 'I don't like drama' but then literally brings popcorn. I'm in love with both him and his axe, fight me about it but I think it's an underrated weapon. Also, I will not stop missing him. It hit so hard to hear that he died, I won't forget the way he was always there for Fang. Love🖤
Archie: I almost forgot our crew-quenn. Excuse me, she isn't 'the new guy', she is the most badass person you'll see in this century. And man, somebody get her a snake! I think she misses her days in the snake cult and it would be just cool addition overall.
PS: Do not worry, my (as it turns out very-very long) Izzy essay is coming along.
