We also pay homage to a true legend gone too soon.

sorry to announce that there will be no physical copy of @theprivateersot.bsky.social at #SoTFest this year.

i really wanted to do one and im annoyed at myself that i havent managed it. but i have simply been far too busy this year and just straight up haven't had the funds for printing since (1/3)

moving. not to mention i've also had HRT to pay for, and that has NOT been cheap!

i've also always been adamant that i would only work on the privateer as long as it was enjoyable for me to do so. and lately anytime its been on my mind it has done nothing but made me feel bad for my lack of (2/3)

Thank y’all for the support on this so far, all the shares, views and likes on the video.
Love your faces.
And everyone who been sharing it around? You beauties get a forehead kiss

A podcast! With us three crazy pirates! It would mean a lot to us if you'd check out, and let us know what you thought!

(I apologise for my voice in advance aaa)

THE PRIVATEER PEAKCAST GO LISTEN

like a wise sigma once said...

at least 1 discord server is already using a music bot to listen to this, so thats how you know its good !!

this was a lot of fun, even if i hate the sound of my own voice (pls be gentle 🙃). would mean a lot if you'd check it out!

I promised you all a YouTube video eventually!
It's only taken (checks notes) 4 months since my last video, and 9 months since my last heavy edit.

Enjoy as myself, Dray and Belle talk about piratical nonsense!
