Inside of me is a Calico Jack. Dying to burts out

He just wants to play with his mate, have fun, be loud. Not think about others' needs first. Not think about what others will think. Just screan from the top of his lungs " WHIPPIES!"

I know Calico Jack is a villain in Stede's story. Keeping Ed from him. Turning Ed into a loud maniac screaming "WHIP MY BALLS, JACK! WHIP MY BALLS!"

But to me he is also the guy Ed (or Blackie, as Calico Jack calls him) had found earlier in his life. The guy he could play with, be himself with, at least to some extend. I think he was the first person to make Ed feel like he could be himself. Hell, he could be gay with this guy. Yet still they both remained to be loud, fearsome pirates.

I can see why Ed is drawn back to that. With Stede he feels so much more vunerable. Because it is so much more real. With Calico Jack he can fall back into a dynamic that used to be great. It is super self-destructive ofcourse. For both of them. But it is easy, it is familliar. It is like an old coping mechanism that used to work for you, used to protect you when the world vo too much. But now it is no longer actually safe. Now it just feels that way, because healtier ways of dealing with your shit feel scary. You have to be vuberable, you have to reach out to others, tell them how you feel. And ofcoure, if they hear you, it feels amazing, but if they don't it will hurt so bad again.

It is so much easier to just scream "WHIP MY BALLS!" Than it is to say " I love you, and I need you. And I am scared you will leave me."

Damn I love this show so much!

Mermaid flag all finished.

I loved and hated making it. I made one bad stitch, and noticed it 4 rows up, so had to redo that whole section. But I loved seeing something I drew come to life. Next time I will use less fluffy yarn, probably cotton.
