An Our Flag Means Death fanart

[ID: This is a portrait of the titular characters Ed Teach (Blackbeard) and Stede Bonnet (The Gentleman Pirate). On the top half of the image they are standing in water and smiling at each other adoringly. Their reflection tells a different story though. One of heartbreak and upset. The main image has blackbeard with his full beard, wearing his red scarf over his heart. But in his reflection he is choking Stede. The scarf is in his fist. He has no beard and his face is covered in running black painted tears. Stede looks so happy in the top image but in his reflection he is shocked. Horrified. And if you need some symbolism thrown in the top image is in sunset with the moon high in the sky by blackbeard and a bright litup lighthouse is behind Stede. But in the reflection the lighthouse has gone out. It is dark and there is lightning behind blackbeard.]​
