Charles Vane - Blog Posts

I made this edit for my fourteen year old brother who is the ultimate vanerackham truther 🤘

Vane probably takes it a bit too far. He doesn’t dress up too much, just a long coat and a hat that paints a nice shadow over his face. He brings a real knife, though, because ‘everyone can see it when they are plastic, and nobody’s gonna be scared of that‘. Jack would appear as a clever pun or something generally witty. He’d, maybe, wear a neat suit, with clean white cuffs, a tie and a suitcase full of paperwork. We are all scared of mediocrity, aren’t we? He ends up having to explain his costume for the entire evening. Anne would do something classic. She comes as a witch, looking a little more elegant in a dress than any of them had expected (including herself). She threatens to bewitch people that get too close, and with her glower, nobody takes the risk.

So in a modern Black Sails au what would our favorite pirates and friends dress up as?

Black Sails + Troubled Birds

inspired by the many posts i have seen in the same vein

My vote is for Vincent. Why? Here's my reasoning

Vicent: He's an og. He's a part of one of the older stories. His personality is well developed with his shares of woes and triumphs. He is mysterious but still cares for others as he's an outlier of his race as he refuses to drink the blood of a human. As much as we know about him and the elder, we don't know much about him. He still remains a mystery, which helps us readers stay interested in him since we want to know what and who he is, "did he kill Jesse?" Or "Who the hecky hack is Hawke?" Are common questions we ask of him. Also, who doesn't love a vampire?

Charles: He's your typical bad boy apart of a time period that is over romanticized. Sure, he's a good character as with Vincent. They both share trails and tribulations with his own shares of accomplishments. But then again, we know a lot about him, not in the hooks, but in history together since Charles Vane was a real historical figure. Sometimes, in certain chapters, he just makes me... uncomfortable at times.

How true their relationship was. An honest alliance and, as strange as it may feel to define it like this, a disinterested one.

Jack struggle to avenge Charles is really touching to me. Like...for people living like they lived, a loyalty (and a friendship) such as that really is the most precious treasure.
