Sharp reminder, Skull. Crossbones and Viper may ask how high when you say jump. But it will be a cold day in hell before Batroc, Flag Smasher and even Cobra give a good god damn about what you want. Captain America 400

Homemade WW2 pirate flag made from scraps found aboard the submarine “Unbroken” by petty officer Frederick C. Sharpe, DCM (Distinguished Service Cross).

The bars on the left are merchant ships attacked, and those in red are the ones that sunk. On the other side are crossed cannons, and stars that represent merchant ships sunk with the deck guns. The crossed daggers represent the secret cloak-and-dagger missions undertaken by the “Unbroken”.

Pedro Pascal pirate romance when?

The men of Hollywood are begging for romances. Give the men what they want!

Like I want him windswept and sunburnt hanging off the ropes sweeping his heroine off her feet.

Weathered and gruff demanding ransom to return the kings daughter.

They could be rival pirates.

I don't care what as long as it's romantic and epic.

"All I know is, I wouldn't mess those guys. They were super tough. With a flag like that? Please!"

Still making flags like I'm at the craft table on The Revenge, lol.

Someone suggested making bunting with all the little pirate flags, and now I can't seem to stop. So many color combos to play with in the scrap yarn pile. The next watch party decoration is gonna be as colorful as Calypso's Birthday at this rate.

If I get too many should I sew them together into a pillow? Or if I just keep making them, eventually a blanket?

The Jolly Roger began as a pirate’s terror tactic but became a symbol of fearless defiance. From blood-soaked sails to pop culture, it still flies for those who dare to defy and dream.
