Why does the pirate aesthetic have to go so hard like? I absolutely want to wear two coats and tall boots and a ton of fucking knives and a sword hello??? maybe not lose an eye but we all have to make sacrifices

Guess what! You don’t have to lose an eye to wear a patch. Most pirates had two eyes! The patches were worn so that, if they had to go below decks suddenly, they could simply swap the patch to the other eye and have a darkness-adjusted eye all ready to go.
