So how do we all feel about, say, Frenchie desperately trying to follow Blackbeard’s instructions for the flag update, and fuck, fuck, he needs something red, Blackbeard was very specific about the red, except, like, Dizzy had everything that wasn’t black, leather, or nailed down thrown overboard two days back? So unless Frenchie figures out how to use piss and oranges to dye a bit of spare canvas very quickly–
And maybe there’s a god for captured rascals and songless shanteymen, because on Frenchie’s final hopeless search of the ship he finds it.
Just a little scrap of a thing, it is, pinched somehow in the narrow crevice between the gunport and hull of Stede’s pretty little stern chasers that had never once been shot– but it was red, blood red, and just the right size with a bit of trimming, and soft enough that it wouldn’t be a hardship to sew it on at all.
Yes indeed, thinks Frenchie, as he carefully folds up the bit of salt-logged silk to take back to his bunk, with a bit of a wash and a pair of scissors, this’ll make a very fine heart indeed.
rewatching generator rex is like. do you ever think about how white knight and six have been close friends with deep trust for a pretty long time despite the fact that their first meeting was wk attempting to kill six, and they’re both mercenaries, and none of the other numbers ever have semi-permanent teams. one kept six low on the rankings despite his skill and it’s heavily implied it’s because six forms close bonds and can’t kill those people when push comes to shove. wk knows six’s birthday despite him being. yknow. six. wk’s literally in love with six. they were both just a duo of very rowdy mercenaries from the way wk acted in promises, promises and six in six minus six
but things are slowly deteriorating by the time of promises, promises, because six hasn’t told wk that his mentor has gone evo and wk’s unintentionally hurting him by saying that evos are beyond help. that’s probably why they joined providence in the first place, with wk tagging along. and in providence they have their own providence assault vehicle that wk named, and other agents call six “wk’s boy”, which is. yknow.
during promises, promises, six reasons that wk won’t listen to siding with an evo and then wk overhears him talking about ditching him for two people he’s just met. then six brushes off his concerns after. in wk’s pov that’s an incredible act of betrayal since he doesn’t understand why six would be so fixated on an immediate cure. after that, six seems to be reflecting on what he’s done by looking at the tanto wk gifted him, and then unsheathing it and seeing for the first time that the blade has the bushido symbol of loyalty representing their fates being on the same path literally right on it.
and even after the complete breakdown of communications and them fighting to incapacitate, if not kill, the other, wk still is completely and instantly willing to sacrifice his own life so six would live at the end of the day, and six is still trying to save him from the chamber
AND after that and wk is stuck in a figurehead position that he’s completely unprepared for, separated from other people physically and by status (and it seemed like he liked hanging out beforehand), it’s clear from the show that wk STILL looks to six for advice, like when rex makes a suggestion on what to do (in gravity?), wk briefly looks at six’s expression before answering. six still holds the birthday gift he got from wk in high regard, enough to gift a copy to rex and say it still represents deep bonds (although if rex shows it off in front of wk and six never told wk about making another one. wk might think six regifted it. oops!)
