I was unsure about the footnotes going into this because I thought it might be disruptive but I’m 20 pages in and I’ve changed my mind I love them.
Narrator: the magic…it works like this…
footnote: it does not. idiot.

Love it when people barge into my comments or ask box all confused about the penis thing. Like I promise you that if you scroll like 10 posts you will understand that I always do this and it's normal. It's nothing to write home about. The answer is easy but also you don't need an answer and will probably survive even if you never find out why I put penis and cock on all my fiber arts posts. It's OK.

Y'all American really need to understand why unions and syndicalism are important in labour laws enforcement and fight for social rights.
Please look up some History about it. French History. The union protects the workers against the higher ups. The union organises the struggle WHEN IT IS NEEDED to be heard and respected. The union doesn't destroy company, it helps make it more liveable for the workers. Fair wages, fair hours, good workplace and being respected.
But somehow capitalism and ultraliberalism taught you that wanting to be treated like a human with wages that actually allow you to live decently is the most evil thing you can imagine. Bruh. Unionize. This is the way to have power against the higher ups when you're an exploited worker.

I swear if i see one more mf say izzy has been 'redeemed' or needed a 'redemption arc' im literally going to scream into my pillow until i lose my voice.
redeem is such a black and white way of looking at his entire character and dismisses everything hes gone through and yall (izzy haters and others) are just so fucking snob nosed and ignorant to sit there and think hes a villain because of how he acted. theyre fucking pirates. theyre not perfect, none of them are. eds a villain, stedes a villain, if youre doing it like that. ed has killed so many people, stede literally left his wife and kids and also had a hand in killing people; it may be easier for them to change because of the perspective the show gives them and they had love but izzy did not. everyone hated him, ed, his own crew, stedes crew.
normalizing peoples reactions to things as something other than villainy and heroism is so god damn important in a show that's trying to accurately involve our perspectives in this day and age. its a tale as old as time, making someone 'completely in the wrong' because their perspective isnt the one you aligned with as much.
like the rest of the crew izzy had his own bad things hes done, he didnt need this 'redemption' everyones blabbering on about. he needed to be fucking heard, to be seen, and acknowledged-- not thrown aside and abandoned because of a whim. you all can ride up blackbeards ass because oh hes so hot, hes so pretty omg wow; but that wont ever change the fact his character is a fucked up person... youre allowed to love him anyways, why not izzy? we didnt see blackbeard before screen but how hes mentioned it shows he was a shit awful person, the only reason no one cares is because on hes fuckin gay for stede or whatever so the main characters get a free ride. ( i agree they all get a free ride, im just tired of this izzy isolation man )
why does he need to be redeemed in your eyes? just because youve seen what hes done? he was literally a product of his environment in season one he was a product of blackbeard's leadership. only with the loyalty and solidarity of the crew did he really begin to find himself, thats fucking hard to do that late in life. instead of calling it some bullshit black and white redemption arc, lets just celebrate izzy being himself and being fucking loved for once in his god damn life.
hes also way more fucking mature and put together than people give him credit for. love you izzy.
edit: thank you all for the reblogs and insights in every single one, i read them i promise i do. im just so mf heartbroken we have to tag things as discourse when its really just about people not being compassionate. (as a couple people have pointed out) i will said id reblog and comment on every single tag but this is my side </3 EVERYONE PLEASE READ THE REBLOGGED TAGS TOO / / theyre so real ! ive also opened up that ask box thingy i havent been on tumblr in yrs and have 0 clue how any of that works if anyone wants my perspective on anything izzy related. *or otherwise ofmd related
