Pirates
Hello! Do you like pirates? Do you want more pirate media? Here is a list of pirate media I as a pirate enjoyer like.
Our Flag Means Death
This one's a gimme. Gay people! Ongoing! Goofy! Sad! A good time!
I love this game more than life itself. Short text based twine game where you romance a pirate captain as the ship's surgeon. MLM. Completely free browser game, completable in an afternoon.
A gay pirate opera by Billy Cobb. On Youtube and Spotify, and you can buy it on
CD, cassette, and vinyl.
It's just one of those ologies books. It's a really good time. May be in your local library. Read it physically or there's no point.
Treasure Planet
It's just a really good movie.
Three songs detailing an alternate telling of Peter Pan where Wendy joins Hooks crew, double crosses him, and becomes the best pirate captain this side of Neverland!
TECHNICALLY this is not pirate media. There is only one actual pirate and all the characters are legal sailors doing legal business. BUT I will never pass up an opportunity to recommend Tiger Tiger and the vibes are immaculate.
On my list of things to try:
Liveship Traders
Just finished reading The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb, this is next up. I'm gonna miss Fitz, but I'm excited to see how she does pirates.
Treasure Island
I just got a very cool vintage copy of it from my local used bookstore, and I'm very excited to read it. I'm waiting to be on a trip or something for maximum vibes and experience. It has a little map in it!
