#i’m. sooo normal about dreys relationship and connection to the blsck rose

rewatching the final voyage/pt2 of the black rose oneshot and AUGGH dude.

drey is killing me.

because he never “deserted” his family out of spite. he never became a pirate cause he wanted to rebel. he did what he did, set off on an adventure, because he wanted to impress his father. give him something to be proud of.

this combined with what we know now is so gutwrenching cause like. drey thought he could never hold up in the navy, could never be as successful as his brother, so he chose to become the family’s antithesis just to get so much as a scrap of attention. even if he became a “criminal”, he wanted to be an impressive one. he had to be the best in some fashion, because he had to evoke some kind of admiration. he had to be seen.

drey ferin was simply fighting to be seen.

and the first thing the other black rose crew members do is catch sight of him after so long out at sea. the first thing captain rose does is appreciate his talent for sharpshooting.

drey ferin got in a few minutes something he had been lacking for years.

just to lose it all again. just to shoot his own captain through the heart.
