Captain Frenchie!

I started writing a few observations in this post about small moments leading to Frenchie being captain. But it's time to do a whole thread!

Season One

We see Frenchie take a leadership role as early as episode two. He brings up the hostages and prompts Stede about doing something with them.

This is also the first example of Frenchie trying to raise the mood of the ship.

Of course the biggest one in this season is everything around the French dinner party. Frenchie is the one who finds the letter and presents it to the captains. Invited along by Ed, the two of them connect (leading the way to Frenchie being chosen to stay on the ship and also to be Ed's first mate.)

We see Frenchie's smarts and skills with the pyramid scheme and then utilizing his newfound deal with Abshir to get the information needed about the party-goers for Stede's passive aggression game. The only real background we have about Frenchie is that he worked in service. We also see his hospitality when he gives all of their money from the pyramid scheme to Abshir and Co.

The second half of the season has more little moments: Frenchie trying to get rid of the journal to protect Stede, not confessing to the piracy on board, etc. Go Frenchie!

Season Two

Frenchie's made first mate and this continues throughout the entire season. Fang has been with Ed for twenty years and he could have easily been given the rolle, but that's not what happens. Ed and Frenchie connected previously and when Frenchie is given this role, we still see Ed try to connect to him, but still doesn't let him see him too vulnerable: during the impossible birds speech Ed never turns around to let Frenchie see his tears.

When all the crew is reunited and standing around with blankets and soup. Stede is trying to get an answer of what happened with Ed, and all of them are evading the question. Stede can choose to ask any of them — Jim, Black Pete, Fang, and to a lesser degree Archie or Izzy — this question, but he specifically calls out Frenchie.

Frenchie leads or is a major part of four different crew talks this season.

First in Red Flags, they talk about Ed "getting better."

Then when the crew get back together in 2x4, while they all have their weapons drawn on each other, Frenchie brings up their arms and legs being tired, that along with Olu mentioning there might be a middle ground makes the crew put down their weapons and start talking to each other.

When Ed is voted off the ship at the beginning of 2x4, Frenchie is the one who delivers the news of how the crew voted.

Fourth, while the crew is talking in 2x6 about being bored, it is Frenchie who suggests that they throw a party. Another incident of Frenchie trying to raise the mood of the ship. He (and Jim) are the ones who go to the captains with the idea.

Last but not least, the numerous various moments in the finale.

While everyone else is getting dressed for the fuckery, Frenchie is on the steps, gun out Charlie Angels style, serving as lookout. He's on guard duty while everyone else is vulnerable.

During the big run across the beach to the dinghys, Frenchie spends the entire time looking around, making sure everyone is there. He goes back and help Ed carry the injured Izzy.

Go Frenchie part two!

Last but not least, Frenchie also directs part of the crew during this stage of the fuckery.

Overall, Frenchie is a smart, resourceful, and caring person and I love him and think he'll do amazingly at being Captain!

(I might be missing some moments but these were the ones that stood out.)

It’s #KissFangWeekend on Twitter! Fang didn’t let anyone eat his goat on Calypso’s birthday and he was very happy to learn that Captain Frenchie allows pets on board…with the exception of cats

a while ago my friend and I wrote a Breaking Bad AU (which you can read on ao3, link under the cut), and this is what Frenchie looked like in my head. long story short, a scam artist turned distributor because Stede asked nicely, the rest was history

details; in my head, Frenchie thrifted the jacket and sewed some cosmic patches, because duh.

Captain Frenchie can be something so personal to me and I blame Yuhlena for that
