I want Frenchie to actually meet a cat in S2 and discover that they purr and lose his absolute goddamned mind. how could he hate this. he’s just a little guy. he uses his knife feet to make biscuits
I’m sorry. For a long time, I was trying to save you. I thought If I did, somehow that would make up for the things I’ve done. You never asked to be saved. You cannot absolve my sins, no one can. I know this now. So… I leave you alone.
Hey what’s up you guys? Anyone else dealing with crystals in your blood that attract witches? Same besties, the price of being a woman. These are my top 5 tips for ridding yourself of that misfortune!
obsessed with frenchie as a character. invented the pyramid scheme. terrified of cats. doesn’t even do pirate stuff. just plays his little lute and sings. doesn’t really do anything violent, like, ever. they get raided by the english navy and he just stands there plucking his lute unbothered. very emotionally aware and knows how to read a room. says cute shit like “cheers, me dears!” loves conspiracy theories. likes to draw. likes to design spaces by drawing out blueprints. calls his friends ‘babe’. the only one brave enough to ask the Blackbeard after they’re invaded if he’s gonna kill them after they repair the ship. tells stede “wiggle the hips” during his duel with izzy. cheers when izzy gets punched. somehow gets a reputation for being able to sew so ed keeps him as one of two [2] members of stede’s crew to stay with him after he abandons the rest on a desert island. “they’re such DICKS about spoons.”
oh my GOD. HOW could i forget he also INVENTED FANFICTION
I have said it once and I’ll say it again: Ed is heartbroken, Ed is mad as hell, Ed has given up, but there remains a part of Ed that still very much wants the softer, easier, gentleman life. Sure, Frenchie can sew, but more importantly, Frenchie can do THIS.
Of all the crew members Blackbeard could have kept, he chose Jim (a brutal killer who lived their life in disguise - familiar much?) and Frenchie (a mixed, Black pirate who knows enough to con his way into the “good” life).
Stede abandoned Ed because (in Ed’s mind) he wasn’t good enough for someone like Stede. He’s not going to go chasing after Stede. Blackbeard is going to stomp around the Caribbean being the monster everyone says he is. But the little, unhealed, inner child of Edward Teach still wants fine, soft things, and there is now only one guy who could maybe get him that.
Also, I don’t really think this is going to happen, but you know what, for someone who thinks he was abandoned for being a monster, showing up somewhere as a refined gentleman (even if it’s a con) would be one hell of a revenge dress, and Frenchie can make that plan happen.

So just… keep calling me Dax.” Second panel is Frenchie with his face replaced by Captain Sisko saying “Yeah, good ol’ Dax, Always liked Dax.”]
