I guess more queer ocean magic stories is always a good thing.
I am firmly of this belief.
People writing history about pirates tend to project whatever they want to see, be it an anti-capitalist utopia or a queer one. And, while the canon has at best a tangential relationship to actual history, I like to have a decent understanding of what I'm ignoring!
No, that's fair! Does matelotage exist within the canon's version of history?
