i know mary’s comment about stede not paying attention to her opinion about the ocean is supposed to be comedic, but it actually makes me sad for him? he’s miserable and spaced out all the time, dissociating so hard, and burying himself in books + his pirating fantasies to survive. i really can’t imagine being a closeted gay man, stuck in a miserable marriage with someone who doesn’t even like me as a person, and only coping by hiding inside the refuge of a brain that doesn’t really like me, either. my heart just breaks for him.

#stede bonnet #our flag means death #ofmd #pirate posting #not trying to throw shade at mary btw! she was just as miserable. the situation is different from her pov for a lot of valid reasons #i’m also projecting quite a bit because. well. dissociating and burying myself in fantasy to avoid my toxic home life- #is something im very good at :]
