Re: Thoughts

Sometimes what you need is a supervillain.

... and *some* people are going to completely lose their shit at that.

I don't think I like those people anymore. If I ever did.

I don't think that a punch in the face for attempted genocide is excessive force, regardless of what the mainstream might say.

*epiphany* You're right, that's what it is, isn't it. *invokes image of Cap punching Hitler*

Further epiphany. Cap at the end of the *movie* Civil War has gone full-out Stage Six. He gives up country, stability, and most of his `ohana because it's right... because being an indentured servant for an America that is shockingly similar to L-America is Not Right.

Flag on, haul aWAY!
I should be happy to have you for a Sailing Master when I get my ship... or to sail on yours, if you get one first.

Okay. A pirate ship goes around stealing things and slitting throats, completely outside the law. A privateer works more or less within the law, but still commits mayhem on other people's ships. Hmmmm. I suppose you could call my ship-to-be a Q-ship... sort of like the Millennium Falcon but better maintained and far less... disreputable. :) Kinda like SNMS Ambuscade from the Honorverse.

I like it.
