okay so apparently the post i made at 4am last night about the denholm family legacy and corresponding mental health implications blew up and now i'm receiving all sorts of screaming (/pos) in the tags. on a Related note, i've been brainrotting about p!scott's character intro sequence so much and now i Need to yell about all this somewhere or i'm gonna cry.
"Okay (×7), what do I need? Big day. BIG day. Okay. Okay, um, let's get the spyglass Dad got me and… Mum got me the new journal [to] write down all my discoveries."
the fact that the journal p!scott was using as a diary was meant for THIS. THIS was what it was meant to be used for. i would just like to point this out to y'all.
the EXPECTATIONS from the very start. good god it's so offhand of a comment but i am Stuck here. the Expectation of following in your family's footsteps. it's not just "do what We did" but also "do what you are Supposed to do".
"What else do I need? Ehm… outfit, check… oh, food! Um, Mum said… there we go, she'd made me five mutton wraps, okay, this will- I'm a little bit hungry… no, I shouldn't, I gotta save this; this has got to do me for a while until I can, like, find my own things. Ehm, what else do I need to take? It's Initiation Day, so everything starts here."
i don't have much of a comment on this. i really don't. only thing i can probably say is my headcanon of p!scott learning to cook from his mother.
"Um… the sword. Right. This is a family heirloom; it's served all the other Herons well, it'll serve me well, I'll definitely- I'm gonna discover so many things, I'm gonna make everyone proud, just like I was… born to do. Just like I was meant to do, 'cause I'm a Heron and that's- it's all I've ever been, and it's all I'm… was ever gonna be."
god the RESIGNATION. just. the resignation of having so much pressure put on you that it can crush rocks without using a machine. there's no way out of Being in the heron faction and doing what herons are Supposed to do. we see in the vods it's not that you Don't enjoy exploring and discovering things, but Man, would you prefer to do it on your own terms?
(what was going through your head when your brother turned up on the isles again, after you thought star dead and mourned star for a year? when star decided to join a Different faction from you and go against all you both have been taught?)
(you called the nightingales stars "new family" during the dipper quest. it's undeniable that you still love your brother and we all know that, but do you feel abandoned in that star has left you to join a new faction and have stars own life? do you feel that being in different factions means you Shouldn't have a place in stars life anymore, though you refuse to let your actions show it? do you envy star for having escaped the toxic environment where you both grew up in? that while you were born and saddled with all the expectations, star shouldn't have had to worry as much because your parents put all their eggs in a single basket, i.e. you?)
and the sword. the sword being a physical Reminder of all the baggage that comes with being raised by Internationally Famous parents who Expect you to do the same or risk their disappointment… something you either can't imagine or would rather not imagine?
"Ehm, hm… well, I'm- I guess this is everything. (sigh) Here we go. It's the life I always wanted, or at least, the life that I was given."
ohhhhh god the implication of being told this is the life you are Supposed to aspire to. and going along with it because you were raised to believe this is the life you Should have and internalizing it because you can barely even Imagine an alternative.
even when you ask yourself, "do you Really want to live like this?", do you hesitate to answer? it is just a yes/no question but does your answer Always have a "but" after it? because going against what you've been taught growing up is Not An Option For You, at least in your mind?
oh to think when someone asks, "how do you Live like this?", the response in your heart is "you don't." because in a toxic household, there is only survival and you Build Your Bed on surviving based on what you have been taught. because you can barely fathom a life where this Isn't the case.
"Alright, I'm gonna be late. Look out, world, Scott Denholm, #1 Heron, ready for action!"
this sounds like an assurance of confidence, yeah, but who Are you trying to convince? are you telling the world, or are you telling yourself? with all that you have already said, one might wonder which is truly the case.
(also, when cc!scott said that his character had "anxiety" from trying to live up to the expectations, was this supposed to mean "anxiety (emotion)" or "anxiety (disorder)"? because while the first one is very obvious, i would not be surprised if the second one happens to be the case as well.)
in summary: p!acho is a walking embodiment of trauma and drops it in Moments across many livestreams so you don't forget. p!scott is Also a walking embodiment of trauma but drops it in the first three minutes of the series and Never speaks of it again.

pirates lore update:
p!martyn is salty about the sun god not protecting hook and stole the sunset stone (the sun god's power source) and hid it in a place even us rats don't know where it is.
p!scott, p!eloise, and p!acho got salty at the sunset stone being stolen and have now broken the bridge between the kestrel base and the rest of the faction isles. eloise's rat chat have petitioned to chew through p!martyn's boat as revenge.

8 dec 2023 pirates smp lore recap
aka im distraught
obvious spoiler + roleplay disclaimers as per usual
cw: death, fire, self-sacrifice
acho + scott
scott finds acho's last note and gold and decides to go after star
he tracks down acho's location at the cave
the brothers reunite and find some old city ruins further into the cavern, but can't find any of the lost treasure
they sit down and acho talks about stars time away from the isles, trying to find a home before running into and joining the rogue crew
star made friends and found a home in one of those rogues, mahara
they were trying to track down kishi's treasure, or lack thereof as they found, in the middle of a storm when mahara insisted to keep going but acho thought it was too risky
mahara said that he had nothing holding him back as a rogue and in a moment of anger, told acho to just go back to stars "perfect family" on the isles
acho left on their tattered boat and meager supplies, and never saw mahara again
with the recap over, scott finds a hidden room near the roof of the cave
inside the hidden room is spike pit and a note, saying that only one of them can escape alive
scott is fully prepared to sacrifice himself and makes a grand ol' speech to drive it in… but then acho pushes him out of the way at the last second, falling into the spike pit in the process
acho recalls one last memory with mahara and talks to the stars/mahara one last time in the afterlife, which mahara is finally able to respond to
meanwhile, 1 week after all that went down, scott holds a small funeral at the nightingale base and adopts dipper
eret
spends the stream finishing xeir star fort and logs out; no lore and not showing up for the finale
martyn
martyn does everything he can to recharge the sunset stone and gain doc's attention from the datastream
eventually, he resorts to climbing into the volcano at the heart of the isles, and rigging ros' castle to blow with tnt in her attic and ringing the town bell as a distraction
martyn ends up finding the loot shard inside the volcano
he gives the sunset stone back to the sun god in exchange for help destroying the loot shard
since doing so is will deplete their entire power (which will then take at least a couple of centuries to recharge), the sun god makes martyn promise to keep the other pirates safe; martyn claims to be crossing two fingers behind his back for this
the volcano erupts as the loot shard is destroyed; martyn lands in the ocean and survives, but it's still radio silence on doc's end
ros
ros holds a slumber party with water, shep, the sun god, and several of the npcs
they are interrupted by martyn ringing the bell in town, where ros and water rush to check if anything is going down
after a visit to the casino, ros finds that her castle has burnt down while she was away, and water reveals she found tnt in the attic that presumably blew up, igniting the wooden parts of the castle
ros is in denial of all this and decides to just go back to bed and think about it another time
conclusion
scott tracks down acho in the kishi quest, acho backstory drop
only 1 brother can make it out of the quest alive. acho dies trying to stop scott from sacrificing himself
martyn finds the loot shard in the volcano and convinces the sun god to help him destroy it in exchange for giving the sunset stone back
the volcano erupts on the island as a result but martyn still cannot contact doc in the datastream
ros' castle burns down after her slumber party because martyn rigged tnt to blow there while looking for the loot shard

(placed under the cut for edit-friendly purposes)
Universal / Generic / Multi-character messages
Variations of the same message are denoted with forward slashes (/). Sound or visual effects are denoted with [square brackets].

(in the corridor to the entrance hall ceiling hole) [footsteps and creaky floorboards]
(after dropping to the underground entrance hall of the temple, or on the stairs leading to it) You start hearing a ticking sound/noise…
(if exploring the cave next to the island and looting a chest deep inside; only seen in Acho POV so far) You hear a loud ticking sound…

(varies by creator-character's pronouns) Tick-tock, goes the clock; their gold glints, yet decays. Tick-tock, whispers the dock; the curse never allays…

(after removing the gold from their inventory) (You feel) the warmth of the Sun (and the Moon) (slowly) return to your skin.
Personalized, character-specific messages
Note that Bek and Jojo have not received any personalized messages.
Both Acho and Jojo completed the quest before the addition of personalized messages, but Acho later returns to the quest site with Kyle to investigate Owen's disappearance. Acho later reports having heard stars own messages while cursed, but what they said has not been revealed.
Owen's personalized messages can be found here due to how long the section is.
Eloise:
(all of this is heard in between attempting and at times failing the last section of lava parkour)*
You hear a whisper… You will be my lunch…
You hear a whisper… You fail at being a pirate… You fail at being a pirate…
(Eloise got too freaked out by the curse and threw away the gold before returning to the Isles, which may be the reason she did not receive any personalized messages after leaving the quest island)
Eret:
(did the quest with Water) You start to wonder if your crew mate is… going to steal your gold…
Graecie:
(did the quest with Ros)
Ros will betray you.
Ros will betray you. And everyone.
Kyle:
Better run, little pirate.
(since Kyle does a little character backstory/lore later in the stream, these messages/hallucinations are likely related to that)
You hear the distant sound of an old factory…
You hear old laughter from a familiar old voice…
Perhaps hear an explosion in the distance…
You couldn't do anything.
Martyn:
You will never find what you're looking for.
Your friends will steal it.
Cruppy will kill everyone, and no one will believe you.
(with Sausage; from Alison) 1…
(with Sausage; from Christian) Your time has run out…
Ros:
You hear to yourself only… "You will always be alone… Ros…"
(did the quest with Graecie) Graecie will steal your gold… and your heart… and crush it…
Nobody will trust you…
Sausage:
You will always be poor…
(did the quest with Martyn) Your friend will steal all your gold…
[vague dragon-like roaring and whispers]
(with Martyn; from Alison) 1…
(with Martyn; from Christian) Your time has run out…
(with Bek, Ros, and Water; from Claud) MythicalSausage… 10… Just joking. […] MythicalSausage… 8…
(with Eloise; from Christian on Oct 5) MythicalSausage, remember. Zero.
Shep:
You will always be lost out at sea… Hungry… and alone…
[receives the Hunger effect indefinitely]
[Hunger effect suddenly increases to the point of having the Hunger bar drain to starvation level in five seconds]
(after the Hunger starts hitting, Shep still appears calm, but immediately does a 180 to take the gold back to the quest island; winds up unloading the gold on a different island on the way at his chat's panicked insistence)
Water:
(did the quest with Eret; after several bouts of technical difficulties and re-logs) You start to wonder if your crew mate is… not really there…
Will:
(did not take all of the gold; the curse may have had some delayed activation?)
You hear whispers in your head… You will always be untrusted… Always alone…
You will lose yourself… You will never wake up…

12 november 2023 pirates smp lore recap
the crypts
the crypts are now open! they can be accessed using tokens (red crystals) bought from the curator npc for 1000 gold each
only at most 2 people can enter a crypt at the same time
inside are timed puzzles! it's kind of like the sands of time in there, and if they don't solve the puzzle in time, they die and are sent back to the entrance
the reward for completing a crypt is lots of gold and resources, and also a lore book on a pirates worldbuilding story!
the only livestream povs that don't involve visiting a crypt today are apokuna, graecie, and krowfang, all of whom are involved in the lore
the cruppy cleaning crew
p!apo finds cruppy messing around with marnie's statue and is mad at it for disrespecting the dead
he goes to find p!martyn to reassemble the cruppy cleaning crew (team 3c from now on)
team 3c kidnaps cruppy using a lasso and drags it to monkey island for interrogation
p!graecie is watching this happen and recruits kuervo to go rescue cruppy
on the way to monkey island, team 3c sails past p!el on her ship while she's going back to the faction isles. this will be important later.
team 3c locks cruppy in the cage on monkey island and interrogate it for information, torturing it with a lava bucket if it doesn't give a satisfactory answer
p!graecie and kuervo get there and free cruppy, and basically go off on team 3c for torturing a creature with the mental capacity of a small child
in an attempt to justify their actions, p!martyn says that the entire faction isles has been selfish and only caring for themselves (incorrect), and p!apo cites that corpse desecration is wrong (gets shut down because "small children" have no concept of death)
patchlings W, team 3c L, also p!graecie officially announces being marnie's appointed successor as nightingale faction leader, so yes, she can tell p!apo what to do now
p!apo also kind of burns p!graecie with a lava bucket around this time
in between all this, p!martyn decides to get out of dodge but passes p!el's ship on his way back to the isles
p!martyn then decides to go after p!el and kill her for allegedly snitching on team 3c kidnapping cruppy
meanwhile, p!el just came out here to look for crypts with p!bek and has no clue what p!martyn is even mad about
back on monkey island, p!apo runs off to apologize to and consult with someone called alphie
p!graecie comforts cruppy and tries to take it back to the isles
kuervo is still debating whether to leave the faction isles behind, but on his way back, p!bek's boat (which he was using since he couldn't find his own) gets struck by lightning and sunk. he is last seen drowning. there will be a lore stream tomorrow
what we found out from the torture-interrogation (at least as cruppy claims)
cruppy is an ally to the faction isles
it swam to the isles by itself on day 1 after recruitment day
cruppy freaks out whenever it hears the name 'ivy'
it is evasive about how it is related to the corruption, and if the cultists and iris are bad or not
cruppy has always been what it is now; it is not sandro caravel in disguise or anything
it first came into existence before recruitment day
it doesn't know anything about mufasa and the sabertooth clan

last letters to p!acho, p!jojo, and p!ros
(transcript under the cut)
acho
Dear Acho,
I know joining any faction can be a hard adjustment period, but for you especially, I know it was not easy.
I never brought it up, I wanted you to be your own pirate, but I can't say I wasn't surprised when I heard the missing Denholm brother had washed ashore and joined the Nightingales.
Not that you ever have to live up to anyone's expectations, but just know that you're always capable of going far beyond them.
As all pirates do, you've got some rough choices ahead. Just know you'll always have a family in the Nightingales.
Keep shining as bright as you can, star – and look after your brother, he needs you just as much as you need him.
Your leader & friend,
– Marnie
jojo
Dearest Jojo, though my time is running out, I wish to chat with you one last time.
When I think of our conversations at the bar, my mind always wanders to the promise you made.
Please, use the exotic seeds you were going to collect to grow the garden I wish I had.
Let the world see beauty from the flowers that bloom from them.
Though you recently joined us Nightingales, I feel as though it was the perfect fit.
Thank you for becoming a part of our family.
Your leader & friend,
– Marnie
ros
Ros,
Keep building that castle.
It's very pretty.
– Marnie

Worldbuilding and Backstory Food for Thought
Source: Scott's Sept 20th stream (1:22:20–1:24:24 at linked unofficial VOD); transcript under cut for reference
Summary
p!Scott questions how the new pirates could have got past the Ice Wall into the Ecclesiae Sea and onto the Faction Isles
p!Owen and p!Apo make fun of him for allegedly being a sheltered nepo baby who doesn't know other people live in Ecclesia
p!Owen also reveals he's from an upper-class city called Oakhurst, spelling tentative as of time of writing
Questions
Because we genuinely don't know the geography of Ecclesia or the SMP world, I think p!Scott actually has a point – where did everyone come from? What is the geography of Ecclesia like?
Just because p!Owen assumes Oakhurst is located within the Ice Wall doesn't mean it actually is; we don't know enough about the geography of Ecclesia to tell yet
We know Ecclesia/the region near the Faction Isles have been used as a "shortcut" for trading ships (from one of the treasure quest descriptions), suggesting there is ocean beyond Ecclesia as well and land far beyond the area. We also know one of the navies lurk north of Ecclesia (from p!Sausage's backstory), that places like Naya and p!Eloise's hometown exist, etc.
Many questions about the Ice Wall: when did it first appear, if p!Owen never saw it? Who made it and how was it done? Why does it exist in the first place? We know it has something to do with the cultists and the corruption, but nothing concrete just yet
Annotation: This discussion was first made on the POWCreations Discord server on Sept 22nd, 2023
Transcript
S: Question: where are all these new people coming from? We're trapped in an Ice Wall.
O: Yeah, they [Eret, Jojo, and Seapeekay] were– they just apparently woke up in a cage and there were some hooded figures in the island, like the island they were in. And then they escaped, I guess? And stole their ship, and now they're here.
S: Yeah, but there was also new people [Shelby, Shep, and Sniff] yesterday as well.
O: Yeah, just a coincidence, I guess.
A: (overlapping) I think there's other people that live inside the Ice Wall besides us.
O: Yeah, it's not just us, there's like, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people across this world.
S: Just in the Ice Wall?
O: Yeah!
S: (out of character) [It's] the Simpsons movie all over again.
O: Oh, wait, you've only ever lived on this island.
S: Yeah.
O: Apo, where'd you come from?
S: (out of character) Where did you go? Where did you come from, Apo– I'm sorry.
O: Like, you know, what town where you in before you came to the Faction Isles? Surely there were people there, right?
A: Oh, you know, places and things and stuff.
O: Okay, well, I was from Oakhurst.
S: Ohh. Never heard of it.
O: Yeah, no, no, you wouldn't have, it's quite a high-class place. So, yeah, I don't know– I came from there, and then I ran away, and I live here. But there was like– That was a whole city, there was people, I just choose not to go back.
S: Oh, well, I mean– Is that within the Ice Walls?
O: Yeah! […] I assume so, 'cause I sailed here on a trading vessel and we didn't hit an Ice Wall!
S: True. Weird. Hm.
O: Other cities exist. Of course, like, it's not even just us. If you look in, like, the Heron scripture banks, you'll find there's like, at least 50 Herons, they're just all out on missions right now.
S: Well, I know that because I am a Heron, I know that other Herons exist.
O: Oh, well, there you go, there you go! There's lots of people in the world!
S: Yeah, it just felt strange.
O: (to Apo) Oh, he's lived a sheltered life. It's okay.
A: Yeah, nepotism baby, it's just how it is.
O: There's no judgement.
S: It feels like judgement.
O: There's no judgement.
A: It's okay, nepo baby.
O: Mummy and Daddy will be back soon and then you won't have to meet any new people.
S: You two are lucky I don't set the Kangacrew on you.

Pirates SMP lore of the day: Near the end of his stream today, Sausage sails by Monkey Island and gains a strong urge to touch the plinth where Dai once stood; after stepping on said plinth, there's a mysterious thunderclap which strikes him down to two hearts. After that point and hearing some particularly loud whispers, he reports being unable to move and feeling stone cold, and calls for his ghost parrot chat to send help; on his Discord, he also discloses, "hmmmm…still can’t move…I’m going blind right now".

4 dec 2023 pirates lore recap of the day
(aka prepare to cry your eyes out and pls watch the vods bc this recap will NEVER be able to do it justice)
obvious spoiler disclaimer + everything is roleplay
cw for streams: bad parenting mention (discussed in more detail below), cliffhanger, gun, mental health (incl. discussions of identity, lack of self-care, implicit self-loathing)
acho and chat manage to find and put together the remaining pieces of the kishi treasure map (in the sewers and in the lighthouse)
acho confides with dipper about going on this dangerous quest that star might not even come back from
cue apo showing up to invite star to a "monster slaying quest" with weirdly specific requirements (he is a godawful liar please bear with him)
acho goes along with it and they sail to the southern ice wall
acho tries to figure out this "quest" while apo has a moral dilemma about whether to actually do this (with great reluctance), but he decides it's his "only choice"
apo explains about the whole "martyn told me to kill you and now i have to" thing
the reasoning behind this is that he feels forced to conform to the nightingale stereotype (especially since graecie's confrontation with him has caused him to think he's gonna get kicked out of the faction anyway), and that by joining the blondbeard crew, he can be truly free to be his usual, violent self
acho thinks this is stupid (as in "bro you know you don't have to do what he says") and defends starself enough to make apo pop a totem (was trying not to actively hurt him)
cue the cinematic
acho tries to talk apo down via personal experience of obviously also not conforming to the nightingale stereotype: richest person on the isles (kestrel), learning to fight since star was learning how to walk (kite), exploring and discovering the seas for years (heron)
(also let's not gloss over the fact the denholm parents were like teaching their kids to fight since they were like 1 year old??? i knew those parents were messed up from the start but wtf… disgusted but not surprised…)
banger acho quote btw: "you're so worried about losing yourself that you're being someone else!"
apo now has to make a choice: friendship and… whatever the heck he'll become if he decides betrayal is better
apo chooses friendship
however… just before the cinematic, apo had a loaded gun ready to shoot. AFTER the cinematic… he shoots the ice under himself and drops into the sea. acho is last seen diving down after him (aka outsiders graecie and magic moment)
tldr: my god these pirates need therapy… and some warm blankets and food if we don't want either of them to die from hypothermia

2 december pirates smp lore summary, aka WHAT HAVE WE LEARNT TODAY my god this is messed up
obvious disclaimers: spoiler warning, everything is roleplay
cw for livestreams:
apo: shouting, mentioned past torture of a child-like non-human entity (non-graphic)
kuervo: food insecurity mention, grief (via p!water), guns and gunshots, what we in the present day would call human rights violations (on at least 2 different levels), self-harm (hitting onself to ensure consciousness), shaky breath (possibly panic attack?)
apo summary (~30 mins)
apo finds graecie at the nightingale tavern, who confronts him about his motives
they sail to the "touching the stars" quest site for a more peaceful environment (graecie's idea)
graecie was trying to hard to stay calm, bless her
apo tries to justify himself, in that he came here in search of freedom and that he was trying to protect the isles from the "evil" of cruppy (whom he is convinced is a manifestation of the corruption and is gonna kill everyone)
he also thinks alphie will approve of his actions… and considers but doesn't tell graecie about martyn threatening him to kill acho (1 dec)
graecie continues to defend cruppy in that it, according to her, has the mental age of a toddler and that apo is compromising his "morals" for something he hasn't even been successful in achieving yet
graecie decides to stay at the quest site to mull things over while apo takes her boat (with permission) to go back to the isles
she also says that she refuses to give up on apo even if apo has given up on the nightingales (her words, summarized)
apo now believes he has to do something he doesn't want to do
apo lore revelations
apo might know more about cults than he initially lets on
the golden necklace he wears is a locket containing a picture of him and the former owner of the locket (probably alphie)
kuervo summary (~1 hour)
previously on pirates smp (1 dec), kuervo saw a cultist at the door to the kite tavern and got knocked out and yoinked
he wakes up in the amethyst cave where the rescue mission happened back on 13 oct (it takes him a while to realize this), and can't find a way out
he decides to take a nap because he's too tired to keep looking for a way out (chat was panicking because they thought he was gonna die if he did sleep)
cut to a shot of kuervo in the marnie cage getting zapped by a petrification beam and barely consciously trying to break out (overlaid with heartbeat effects)
kuervo then somehow WAKES UP in the tiny hut outside the big amethyst cave hole and finds a pistol with 4 bullets
he tries to figure out his surroundings, gets cornered by a cultist to get back down the cave or else, and then shoots the cultist (and… chat says he was having a whole panic attack after that)
CUE THE FLASHBACK to 16yo kuervo (recently promoted?) getting commended and invited to dinner with the armada commanders and being super excited about it (chat declares their undying adoration for him as a kid and i agree)
kuervo sails back to the isles by hijacking a cultist ship and is very salty about chat asking about his past, and decides it's too dangerous for him to hang around any longer
he leaves the kites and packs up his stuff to finish his revenge "quest", visits water in her home to comfort her about the wedding, say goodbye, and get supplies (like a lasting supply of food just in case he has to face food insecurity in the future, and money for another pistol)
he also revises his letter to the armada to come and get him and convinces water to send it off for him via the castaway. there is a promised goodbye hug in the kuervo lore "finale"
he moves into the main town tavern for his "last few days" on the isles to wait for the armada to come get him
kuervo lore revelations
kuervo is a VERY good shot with a pistol
he has a brother, implied to be older (probably alex if going by his last character lore stream on 13 nov); the brother was well-known in the armada
kuervo was almost definitely a child soldier (getting a "new" crew at age 16? he had to have been there for a while for that to happen…), probably indoctrinated into the autocracy that is naya (dw it happens to the best of us)
he didn't have that red hair (dye) streak at age 16
the cultists apparently experimented on him while he was asleep/unconscious… and it didn't work
kuervo has 8 rings out of a collection of 10, and intends to get his last 2. it's implied he might have killed the armada's commanders, 1 ring for each kill? (nothing is said directly on stream but this is the most likely option according to chat live reaction)
naya is located in the distant northwest
either alex is alive, or kuervo is planning to die. i personally suspect the latter, given the ending of his 18 nov stream

the book that started everything, 24 nov 2023
(transcript under the cut)
Acho, the time has come.
You must seek fortunes untold,
Navigate the sea's story, both young and old
A pirate king before even Sandro had rose,
But a journey that, far too recently, left you alone
On market streets of whispers and trades,
A vendor of sorts, you know their name
A splash of water, the snaps of jaws,
Let them lead you, don't fall starboard
Now, reach for the heights that you adore,
Stars guide you to the cove on distant shores
Vast riches and an infamous fleet,
These are the answers that you must seek
The echoes of peril, etched in your tide,
Onwards, you must sail, with destiny as a guide
For though the sea demands its toll,
It leads to a place where this mystery unfolds
P.S.
Good luck. Don't die.
Pray on a star.

Chat: (from mishearing Acho earlier that stream about something else) I wonder if Scott would let me have a breakdown.
Acho: God, the household we grew up in? Show no emotion, only discovery... only being a Heron, a great Heron one day at that... best there ever was...

Captain Golden Beard quest curse messages: p!Owen edition
Masterpost for everyone else's curse messages here. Personalized messages are bolded. Sound and visual effects are denoted with [square brackets].
Messages are available under the cut because this is a long post, and are slightly edited for grammar.
Curse messages (Oct 13th VOD)
[wolf howling while on the Isles]
The gold in your pocket starts to shine in your pocket for just a moment… then fades.
[random scream just as arriving on fortress island]
You start to feel a little cold…
The warmth of the Sun and the Moon start to slowly fade from your skin…
"Tick… Tock…"
[random scream]
"Tick-tock, goes the clock; to the cursed gold she's bound. Tick-tock, warns the flock; where she treads, doom is found…"
"They will steal… everything… your gold… your broken heart…"
(in regard to splitting the gold after completing the Fortress) "They lie…"
"Fill the void with gems and gold, nothing will be enough."
You hear a distant explosion…
[shaky ticking noise]
"30…" (Owen mistakes this for Shelby's voice)
"29…" (Owen mistakes this for Acho's voice)
You smell gunpowder from an old cannon…
"It will happen again. Over and over again."
You hear splintering from an old piece of wood…
"28…"
The Warmth of the Sun and Moon fully leave your skin… You're dead cold…
"You didn't try hard enough…" (Owen replies with "I tried my best, I tried my best!" while fighting a skeleton)
"26…"
[random scream]
"25…"
"You won't be returning home now."
"Love me, Owen."
"24…"
(just before the Fortress boss battle) "They are thinking about leaving you behind, Owen, like they did before."
"15…"
"14…"
"Owen…"
"Hook has left you."
You hear a familiar explosion in the distance…
"13…"
[receives the Hunger effect indefinitely; the hunger bar drains in seconds but is quickly filled up by the backpack autofeed feature]
"12…"
(after a post-Fortress issue over splitting the gold) "Acho has taken them from you… They are gone again… Owen. Don't trust them." (Owen does respond by becoming more paranoid over her gold spoils, but recognizes this once the curse has been lifted)
"11…"
(screamed) "10!"
You start feeling sleepy… (Owen responds by swapping out of the steering wheel with Bek)
A nap wouldn't be bad right now, would it…
Your arms start freezing… as if not even the Gods could help you now…
"9…"
"8…"
"7…"
"6…"
The sea looks warm… Perhaps we should jump in… go deeper… into the unknown…
(You hear a whisper from a voice you haven't heard in a long time…) "You did this."
"5…"
"4…"
"3…"
Sun God: "I can't touch you."
Sun God: "Leave…"
"2…"
(You hear a whisper from a voice you haven't heard in a long time…; apparently from someone called Sam) "You did this to us."
(You hear a whisper from a voice you haven't heard in a long time…) "You did this to me."
Gabriel: "1…"
Gabriel: "RUN, PIRATE"
(You hear a whisper from a voice you haven't heard in a long time…) "I see you."
[freezing effect]
[freezing effect; screen cut to black]
Nightmare messages (Oct 14th VOD)
[chicken death sound]
Sign: OWEN
Sign: WAKE UP
Sign: DON'T FALL ASLEEP PLEASE
Sign: COME BACK
Sign: OWEN PLEASE
Sign: …You left me…
Sign: You did this…
Sign: IT WAS YOUR FAULT
Sign: Come take a seat…
Sign: It is too early… We are not ready. Wake up…
Nightmare: Take a seat.
Nightmare: I will be seeing you soon.
Nightmare: You left me. (Owen denies this; "You're meant to come with me.")
Nightmare: NOW WAKE UP. OR YOU WILL DIE.
[freezing effect; has woken up, his surroundings have started to turn to ice]
(after he wakes up, Eloise helps to dispose of the cursed gold)

The "Sam" mentioned in the curse whispers is likely Samuel, a naval commander from p!Owen's past to whom he seemed to have grown close to (between the flashbacks in Owen Ep. 8 and 9 on YouTube). Since Owen's Ep. 9 mainly covers the kidnapping, i.e. chronologically before the curse whispers began, this is the most likely option.
Two of the dreamscape whispers from the Oct 30 Halloween lore event say, "Hook's death is on your hands. But it's not the only one…" and "War is coming. How are you going to protect anyone? History will repeat itself." While p!Owen did not react to these messages on stream, it is possible that the context behind these quotes are related to the flashbacks in the curse and nightmare whispers.
