The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!/Headscratchers

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Why did Surprisingly Curvaceous Pirate need to dress in drag? There are certainly other female pirates, notably Cutlass Liz. Is this a holdover from the books? Or perhaps something to do with hiding her crush on the Pirate Captain?
    • She seems to be much more girly than the other female pirates. My guess is that she didn't think she'd be taken seriously in the pirate world if she was a woman.
    • She could also be afraid of constantly being hit on, as she is on a boat full of men who probably don't see women very often. Really, there are a number of reasons she could've chosen to dress as a man.
    • Rule of Funny, especially since nobody ever sees through the Paper-Thin Disguise.
