Something's wrong. Feels like a storm is coming, but I can't see it 🌩️

And then the opium scene:

Those are the only photos I snapped of the scripts themselves (they were on an iPad) but i may go back this summer and if I do (hopefully they have the season two scripts) I’ll take more photos if these ones don’t get my kneecaps stolen :)

You Wear Fine Things Well Scene

34 EXT. THE REVENGE STARBOARD STDE - NIGHT Blackbeard, lost in thought, fingers his silk. Stede approaches. STEDE Sorry tonight was bit of a bust. BLACKBEARD You were right, mate. I wasn't ready. STEDE Oh I don't know. I think you're very sophisticated. Lovely bit of silk you have there. BLACKBEARD Oh, this tatty old thing? STEDE Sometimes old things are the best things. May I? Stede takes the silk, gathers it artfully, and tucks it into Blackbeard's jacket pocket as square. STEDE (CONT'D) Look at that. You wear fine things well BLACKBEARD Oh, ha. STEDE ha Blackbeard and Stede eye each other, out of words. It's a beautiful, still night. There's a vibe. Finally: [transcriber's note: said simultaneously] STEDE Whelp. Night, night. BLACKBEARD Yup, tomorrow s another day. JUMP - As they head their separate directions. Stede steals a look at Blackbeard only to catch him doing the same Blackbeard snaps his head back quickly. Stede walks on as well, unable to suppress a sheepish smile. WHITE Production Draft 4/19/21 33. 5.34

Opium Scene

Also, did you know that there is only one main cast member that has yet to top Ed? (According to my best research efforts on Ao3 (including the atonement by crew gangbang ones))

Decided I'd track down the listed paints from the original companies (Benjamin Moore for most, Sherwin-Williams for the Glitzy Gold) and make myself a Procreate palette, then thought I should share it with everyone! Here's a link to a Drive folder that includes this image, the downloadable swatch/palette for Procreate (edit: and now for Illustrator, too!), and a PDF of the key colour diagrams of the Revenge (see below).

These colours are for the exterior of the ship, but I'm pretty confident they're repeated inside Stede's cabin as well (you can see more cabin details in the submission to the Art Directors' Guild Awards in 2022/23, which they won!)

The first 13 colours in the palette are the specific colour swatches, and the rest are light or dark shades of those, per the light/shadowed examples in the images and the delightful digital dollops that the Benjamin Moore website provides. The only colours missing are the custom stains for the unpainted wood. Only one of those (Rich Mahogany from Minwax) is listed with the number #225- that corresponds to Red Mahogany, which is here:

Here are the key colour diagrams used to put this together, available on the website linked at the start and in the Drive folder also linked.

-stede keeps calling lucius ‘marcus’

-roach was named ‘salty’

-frenchie speaks french

-izzy is described as cat-like

-the tribe leader breaks up izzy and Stede, makes them introduce themselves

-izzy, fang and ivan help get the ship unstuck

-blackbeard’s room is described as ‘looking like it were decorated by david lee roth where he a pirate in 1717’

-frenchie also gets named frankie???

-jim steals’s spanish jackie’s hand

-the crew put up a flag saying ‘we love ed’ and cheer for him after he returns to the revenge without Stede (wanted to add, it’s not immediately after he returns but after a little bit of Ed sulking)

-the ghosts of badminton 1 and 2 still haunt Stede

-buttons keeps calling izzy, fang, and ivan ghosts

-jim spits their bread on frenchie in the mermaid scene

-ivan says he has always felt hemmed in by expectations of gender

-Ivan had a lot more appearances/lines :(

-the crew hosts a support group (sans, ed, Stede, izzy, lucius, buttons) to talk about gender???

-most scripts are 37-38 pages long

-lucius replies to izzy “your world, handsie. Were just living in it” during the pantry scene

-the revenge has a ‘chore wheel’ which dictates who does chores around the ship

-lucius sketches ivan not fang, fang is cleaning the barnacles

-izzy is called ‘izzy the barfer’ not izzy the spewer

-izzy ‘notes the chemistry’ between Stede and ed

-the ‘fucking on deck’ overhearding scene isnt here

-izzy and ed do laundry together and talk about killing Stede

-fang shuts the door on izzy’s face

-ivan wants to ‘seduce sailors and kill the dutch’

-izzy is the one who suggests the fuckery end with the kraken to cause ed to breakdown (?)

-ed hides under a table not in a bathtub

-wee john has a twin ‘big john’

-izzy calls Stede a boob

-stede and ed’s feet touch instead of a kiss in ep 9

(I mean I get why they changed it, this would have clearly made Ed feel loved and supported enough to not just accept Izzy's ultimatum)

Also Ed and Izzy doing laundry together is gold obviously.
