The Father and his Kids (OFMD)
Random takes and scenes in space and time for various fandoms I love as inspired by Fanart and the Fandom in general.
A short story of Captain Blackbeard and his rebel "Kids". Blackbeard's merry crew of leather clad pirates having some wholesome fun while robbing some poor sods in their very nice boat. After all, what kind of a Father would not let his Kids play their games!

The Father and his Kids
"So what if we're dark and soulless! So what if our faces are a mess! So what if we're dressed more for a biker party than an assault on high seas for replenishing our pirate's chest!"
There was a deliberate pause.
"For your information - none of us could care any less! Your opinions of us do not concern any of us. For you see, me and my Kids here are gonna rob your sorry asses! And afterwards, if you're lucky enough, and I do mean really lucky… we'll haul those derrières down the keel and leave you there to rot! That's like said, if you're lucky enough! As there are other things we surely have on our minds to accommodate your desires! Well, mostly our own. For you see, we are the feared crew of the Revenge. Captain Blackbeard and my crew at your service!"
Blackbeard stared at the shivering and shaking crew of the passenger ship smugly. The speech having delivered just now something whip had taken him some time to compose, with the aid of his crew but of course.
Still, Blackbeard and his dark clad crew had decided on a somewhat new approach to their pirating ways. That of having their way with words, being polite and informing what they were about to do while truly raising all kinds of mayhem and havoc while robbing those unsuspecting ships sailing the high seas.
"So, what'll y'all say? Cooperate and get off easy or…" Blackbeard glanced at his Kids, seeing them with evil grins on their faces, mirroring one of his own for sure. Turning back to his captive (literally!) audience, his face and voice were even more menacing as he spoke the final words of his well prepped delivery. "Or suffer the consequences!"
Not that the crew let anyone they robbed off easy. At all. They are pirates after all and it is what they did. Murder, mayhem, stealing it all… you name it! This was totally their kind of cool shit!
"Ssss… suffer the consequences?"
One of the fancy crew members squeaked and stuttered. Most likely the supposed Captain of the vessel. Although Blackbeard could not really tell as to which of them were the crew and which were the passengers as they were all dressed in their Sunday fancies.
"Yeah, like I said, we're here to play. So let us know if you're game." Blackbeard let out a hefty chuckle as he wasn't really asking rather telling them. This was his and the Kids time for play, having promised them another day of sun and fun at the Seven Seas.
"Game? As in…" The same crewman glanced around his fear filled crew. "We can decide?"
Blackbeard glared at his opponent for a spell, as if there really was an option!?
"Nah… just pulling your leg!" Blackbeard smirked. Turning around giving the ole nod to his Kids.
Right on cue, the lot of them drew their swords, holding them high up while doing their best impressions of wild savages they truly were, only waiting for their Father to give the go-ahead to charge.
Blackbeard let his eyes roam across the soon to be ravaged crew of the conquered ship before turning to his Kids and giving the sign they were unleashed to get on with their fun time.
The cheer of the Kids as they jumped on top of the soon to be ravaged victims of the now conquered vessel. As it was, Blackbeard made sure his Kids would never go too long without having some play time.
"Enjoy my Children! Don't do anything I would not do!" He laughed loudly seeing the eager and happy faces of his family.
Blackbeard having decided to stand in the side lines this time around and let his Kids enjoy themselves to the fullest, only watching over them. After all, he was a good Father.
