Btw my brain is made of worms and unfortunately I have spent nearly all day thinking about a scene where Jack and Stede try to out-dom each other using Ed as their very willing but slightly overwhelmed test subject

@batsarebetterthanpeople hello im now obsessed w the blackhands divorce proceedings. no idea what your plan is for ur comic but in my mind stede is ed's lawyer and ed picked him bc he's been staring at stede's billboard ad every day on his way to work for like three years and he has a crush on him. stede is a personal injury lawyer but ed shows up at his firm dressed as slutty as possible and stede is just like "YES i'll be your lawyer!" and then gives all his cases to lucius to focus solely on the blackhands divorce and he doesnt sleep for a month bc he has to learn how divorce law works

and calico jack is ed's old friend and during the blackhands marriage era he'd roll into town every now and then and ed would cheat on izzy. izzy never had proof but like, he knows and jack is knows he knows but he always plays dumb when izzy confronts him. jack is also a lawyer but he's been temporarily suspended from practicing law so many times he's lost count. his most recent suspension JUST ended right when ed hired stede, so jack goes to izzy and offers to be his lawyer and izzy is like "absolutely the fuck not" but then every lawyer izzy goes to drops him after spending like, ten minutes in izzy's presence, and eventually word gets around and nobody will even meet with izzy. and THEN izzy only lets jack be his lawyer because he has literally no other choice

all four of them have toxic cringefail sex with each other at least once. it is the world's messiest divorce and it drags on for at least a full year

jack just seems like an always hungry type of guy. guy who could always go for a snack. if other people are getting food he's down guy. not even coz he's like stoned or something he just seems like the kind of guy to have a bottomless pit of a stomach. and also an iron bottomless pit of a stomach. dude could eat anything and just walk it off. stede and ed could get laid up with food poisoning and jack's just like "food poisoning?? that's crazy I'm fine" and ed's like "you ate gravel on a dare and didn't get sick."

Love Rëveng is now complete with its 8th and final chapter! Will they finally perform? How will it go? Can they possibly make up after 18 years?

The State of the Seattle Polycule of Piracy

I'm updating this thing because I was very fucking stupid and fully forgot that Lucius and Jim have fully kissed on the mouth. I am a buffoon.

Frankly I'm rooting for Archie I think she should bring it together by sleeping with Anne, Mary, Susan, and Spanish Jackie. I know that lesbian has a sex toy backpack that she carts around from hookup to hookup.

but the season hasn't even started yet and already these three polycules in my brain have become two I'm so excited.

One Sunday, while Stede's out with his kids, Ed gets a call from a number he doesn't recognize. Turns out it's the local hospital, and he's been listed as the emergency contact for one Jack Rackham. Jack was found overdosing in his apartment, and despite the two of them being pretty distant these days and having last left each other on bad terms, Ed rushes off to the hospital anyways. Ed's really worried for Jack, and invites him over to his and Stede's house once he's discharged. Jack initially doesn't want to do that, but eventually he agrees, and starts changing his life.

thank you to @piratecaptainscaptainpirates for giving this one a looks-over for me to make sure Jack felt in character!
