Well, y'all unlocked a silly little p!Will lore hint during my Shrubathon, sooooo I wrote something up for you! I've put it after the break since it's a little long, and contains some spoilers! Enjoy!
The captain sighs, looking over the whelp he'd plucked from below decks. He wasn't much to look at, a shag of brown hair, a bit on the thin side, and his shirt practically swallowing the poor kid.
"I wasn't-"
"Shut up." The captain's eyes narrow. Insolent brat. "You were conspiring with the prisoner. Does your father know of this?" He leans back in his chair, the large desk separating them making the pause seem even greater.
"He doesn't."
"He's going to. If you won't tell him, I will." The man shrugs. "You're lucky I like your father, if I didn't, you'd already have been tossed into the ocean." A cold grin spreads across the captain's face. "And you wouldn't want that, would you, kid?"
"No." The boy hesitates again, looking down at his lap.
"No, captain." The chair creaks as the captain shifts and corrects the boy. "You'll remember this for the future. Get up."
They both stand, the boy tugging on his shirt as he gets up, trying to keep it in place. The captain's boots thud on the wooden deck below them as he crosses the room to the door.
"If I catch you with Caer again, I'll whip you to the bone. Do you hear me, Will?" His hand closes around the handle, turning to look at the kid.
"Yes…captain." Will nods, avoiding eye contact.
"And remember to tell your father. Or I will." The captain opens the door, watching as the boy practically runs out of his small office. He lets out another sigh, the brown mop of hair vanishing down the stairs into the ship. "Don't make the same mistakes I did, kid."

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.
For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.
So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.
Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them

Bro, my unyielding loyalty towards you is totally normal and healthy, I swear. It's just that it's definitely my duty to rip out your enemies throats with my bare teeth. You are the love of my life and I am your most valuable tool. Each night, I fantasize about dying in your arms, covered in blood, and then I close my eyes one final time, satisfied because I can feel your fingers on my face as I take my last breath. Haha anyways

hey so since we're talking about how awful the minecraft movie looks we're all going to agree not to go see it in theaters right? not even to hatewatch it? we all are in agreement that its a soulless cash grab movie, so we all know that the only way to stop them from making more like it is to give them no cash to grab, right?
yes this includes watching it for the bit. yes this includes bringing your friends to go make fun of it. yes this includes just watching it out of curiosity.
do Not go see this shit in theaters. do Not give them your money. they dont care whether you enjoyed it or not, they only care about what number the box office gives them. so make sure the box office cant give them shit.
