Ricky bts + Izzy & Ricky

[the-names-kam]

did. did ricky start styling his hair like stede’s after he met him. why is he like this. i need to study him under a microscope

[edgyeli]

There's some funny parallel between Prince Ricky and Stede

Because like Ricky looked up to Stede and wanted to be like him, but everyone only saw him as a rich boy who can't do shit

Stede looked up to Ed and wanted to be like him, but everyone only saw him as a rich boy who can't do shit

But the way they end their journey so far couldn't be more different

Stede desperately tries to become something he is not, to the point where he embarrasses himself in front of everyone by losing a duel with Zheng Yi Sao

Meanwhile Ricky objectively won a fight with her, not by using violence, but by being smart

It's almost like Stede forgot the way that got him where he is in first place, who is a Gentleman Pirate

Meanwhile Ricky singlehandedly destroyed the biggest pirate fleet by being smart and sneaky

[hyperfocusthusly]

I cannot be the only person who watched this whole thing wondering how the heck that little strap holds his nose on

[roz-ani]

PLEASE TELL ME I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN'T NOTICE IT'S THE SAME GUY

Lime Ricky

There once was a weird minor prince

whose fangirling made us all wince.

He fucked up a crime

making cocktails with lime,

and no one has heard from him since.

zheng: what's the point of all these clocks you're giving us?

ricky:

[outlanderalien]

Well one of you is fucking lying.

So Izzy still gets shot in the escape, but he hides it better so no one comes to help him run. When everyone else pulls ahead, he collapses.

(Maybe his leg genuinely gave out. Maybe he was using all his strength to stay upright while the crew could still see, and once they couldn't he didn't see the point. Maybe he knew he wasn't making it out alive, thought that this might at least slow them down to help his crew escape.)

Then Izzy is captured by the navy.

They could kill him of course, but... well wouldn't that be a shame? One of the greats, executed like a dog with no one to appreciate it? No, no, Ricky likes a spectacle. Get him in a cell somewhere, patch him up with the best medical service a minor prince has to offer. Get him in tip top shape, perfect physical health.

And then they'll hang him. In front of a crowd, where everyone can see that Richard Banes was the one to take down the great Israel Hands.

Maybe the level of showmanship was uncalled for given how many more dangerous or famous pirates were out there to use for his point, but Ricky simply can't help himself. Hands was always one of his favorites.

And he just can't get that talk at Jackie's out of his head. A shame Izzy hadn't actually managed to escape, because Ricky rather likes the idea of a nemesis to chase across the seven seas. Ah, well.

So Izzy is kept locked up as he heals, and he's pissed.

It's got it all. Dirty jabs. Antagonistic flirting. Getting to know each other. Izzy can do that thing he loves in his cell, where he's already standing in the shadows when someone walks in so he can say something dramatic, and Ricky eats that shit up. One time Ricky asks what happened to his leg, since that wasn't in anything he read, and Izzy claims he got mauled by a jungle cat.

And slowly Izzy starts to get better, and every day Ricky starts to dread it more. Because somewhere along the line he started to look forward to their talks, and Izzy healing means he's one step closer every day to his hanging.

whoops sorry, I still like ricky. what can I say? drink calling cards! bombs hidden in clocks! this man has flair. branding. drama. we love it.

Cuntiest prince ever💅

[mermaidlighthouse]

Ricky really is an odd duck…

What kills me about Minor Prince Major Douche is that he keeps telling PIRATES that he’s a minor prince as if these people don’t by their very existence flout the monarchy…why would any of them give a flying fuck that he’s a prince but to then lean into being MINOR oof…if anything he’s painting a bigger target on his back…I mean what a fuckin moron

[theenoathee]

it’s so funny that ricky was like “i’m a MINOR PRINCE.” as if zheng, the conquerer of CHINA and pirate QUEEN, would be intimidated by that??? baby didn’t do his research before he threw that little tidbit into the chat and it shows
