Our Flag Means Fanfiction Carly Heath

Prince Ricky, who is now an Admiral, has just been informed that Blackbeard, Bonnet, and Izzy Hands have sunk one of his ships. So that means Izzy is alive. Ricky now needs to return to sea to track down the nefarious pirates but has grown fond of the following of pre-teen girls who fawn over him now that he has this dark, outsider aesthetic. This is "The Specter of the Seas" read by Baby Kraken who does an absolutely amazing job.

Our conversation this week touches on fanfiction’s role in helping co-host Lacey Bond (https://www.instagram.com/joy.goblin/) deprogram from Christianity. And the more I marinate on Lacey’s story after listening to this again, the more I can’t help but wonder if fanfiction has helped a lot of people deprogram from things. Also covered this week: GENTLEBEARD! Samba revealing Froach was a thing! Still on my quest to get Rhys Darby’s birth time! And why I wouldn’t survive the apocalypse.

I just love having deep conversations with fans of Our Flag and talking with them in-depth about the aspect of the show they connected with. Our guest this week is Tanya Dickson (https://www.instagram.com/tanyadickson.ig/), an actor and writer, who is absolutely obsessed with Blackbeard — played by Taika Waititi. Of course, we cover the usual fandom news and updates but we also chat about what it is that makes certain people drawn to Blackbeard as a character. I think you’ll find our conversation fascinating. Have a listen!
