All gods who receive homage are cruel. All gods dispense suffering without reason. Otherwise they would not be worshipped. Through indiscriminate suffering men know fear, and fear is the most divine emotion.  Half gods are worshipped in wine and flowers. Real gods require blood.

the forest seems like peace itself, but when the day comes it will burn like a match; /             i am in harmony with my annihilation.

irrepressibly posh; just because you are wanted in three nations does not mean you can dispense with silverware at the table (has lugged around a porcelain tea set for years in case of an emergency guest scenario)

related to the above, quite conflicted about piracy. he never wanted to be a pirate--he was a naval officer in a distant coastal nation’s navy, impressed into the triumvirate military after a lost battle (that eventually culminated in a lost war). after several years as a prisoner, he escaped, but had no home to return to, thus...committed himself to a lifetime of Revenge

holds a grudge like a cat; if you slight him, he will ruin your life in subtle and elaborate ways. also like a cat, he is easily won over by quotidian comforts, like a bowl of milk or an especially soft pillow

a fastidious keeper of the artillery on the hanged man’s revenge

presents as snobbish and cold, and his sense of humor sharp-edged; but ultimately soft-hearted (except when it comes to the triumvirate, fuck those guys)

There’s no way to descend safely. To try would be to plunge.  It’s that simple.

Potential Faces – highkey garrett hedlund has remained a constant favorite for some reason, remy hii, lana condor, daisy ridley, florence pugh, chadwick boseman, laura harrier, joe keery (put him in a pirate movie pls) and i suppose basically anyone who has appeared in a single period drama ever. i’m not particularly picky but i’m also jonesing for a redhead so if anyone wants a bunch of idiot siblings pls @ me. 

Potential Plots –  i like me big dumb men characters who consistently make poor choices but occasionally have a conscience) so if anyone needs a occasionally conflicted first mate who pls hmu!!!! but also i’d love a fencing operation inherited by a group of sisters from mum dearest (wells sisters feels mb idek, please also hit me up for this). but generally down for any form of found family/estranged siblings ok. romance good??? bad??? decades of mixed feelings and secrit touches? my jam. also!!!!! childhood friendships turned sour or strained!!!!

Favorite thing about pirates? – i’m really into the building of personal mythologies (blackbeard, back from the dead red) and generally skewed morality. 

Anything else? – highkey want ads because i’ve got sticky fingahs. but the discord for chitter-chatter and i’m just really excited to peek @ any skin previews for my own personal eyeball enjoyment.
