fact: Jack Rackham’s crew accidentally collects lesbians
hypothesis: when Flint and Thomas break everyone out of the plantation and start their own crew, it winds up being, percentage-wise, pretty gay
extrapolation: “serving under Rackham” and “sailing with Flint” becomes pirate slang for being gay
like
“I met a gorgeous girl last night but then I found out she, you know, serves on Rackham’s crew” “tough, better luck next time you’re on shore leave, mate”
or “we all went up to visit Mapleton’s girls, except for Harrison, ‘cos he sails with Flint”
or “you think she’s on Rackham’s crew, or is it worth asking if i can see her again tomorrow night?” “her? no, I heard she, uh, you know, works for Eleanor Guthrie, I think it’s worth a shot”
anne hears people talking about women who “sail with Rackham” in whispers, so she storms up to jack like “what the fuck are you planning with all these people?? without telling me??” and jack is just like “???? i’ve never heard of those ladies in my life” while max is just giggling in the background because She Knows that jack’s legacy is being the Let’s Go Lesbians guy
