In a universe where piracy is coming to its natural end, where the theme that the leads' lives revolves around is looking like a past they'll think fondly of, someone like Izzy hands - who is the motif of that theme, THE pirate incarnate - he doesn't fit. He's done his job, he kept piracy alive for his entire life, he kept the man he loves alive as best as he could, he came full circle to realising that there was joy and beauty to be found. But he doesn't want to fish, he fucking hates fishing, an inn sounds even worse. He is piracy, it's all of him. He was done. Izzy Hands' death is a call to everyone that the days of piracy are over, that they should remember him as someone who kept it going, who did his best with the resources he had, who died a pirate's death exactly as he wanted.

“Instead of calling Bernie Sanders the most “Christian” candidate because he advocates for the downtrodden and empowers the disenfranchised, consider: these are central tenets of Judaism, the religion that Bernie actually belongs to.

Stop saying that a Jewish dude is acting Christian for practicing Jewish values. It’s not cute.“ - Linda, our mod on hiatus.

I think that when we make the comment that he is more Christian, it is in contrast to the Republican candidates that are actually calling themselves Christians. The fact that he isn’t even Christian and he is doing a better job of fulfilling those values shows how screwed up the Republican candidates are.

Telling us we’re more like the people who’ve been trying to wipe us out for 2000 years than the people who CLAIM to be the people who’ve been trying to wipe us out for 2000 years isn’t the compliment you seem to think it is, champ.
