I would like to talk about how much I love Black Pete for a moment. When he was introduced in episode one, I assumed he was going to be the killjoy side character—jealous, a homophobe, maybe he’d keep trying to kill Stede or team up with the bad guys. But he evolves into such a sincere, hilarious guy without losing that initial stubbornness/bravado. His relationship with Lucius was so unexpected and refreshing and real. I just love that little dude. Out here officially endorsing mutinies, carving wooden fingers. He’s a great guy deep down and Stede’s crew gives him the space and patience to start to unlock that.
