I have so many thoughts but I at least want to address the "for the new unicorn" note. because first of all it's so incredibly gratifying for izzy to finally be accepted into a community. it was shown before that the crew cares for him in some way but it was the first time he really saw that. that he isn't useless and alone, that he still has a place on the ship. even more so the crew WANTS HIM to be on the ship. and also that they want him to embrace his disability which doesn't make them think any less of him.
but also the choice of words. because inherently it rings queer, unicorn as a symbol of queerness. and even if it may have a negative sound when you use it differently here it is extremely positive. izzy is not only accepted to the crew, he's also accepted to the queer community, to the family. the unicorn on the revenge was also the one that was leading the ship, so one can argue that they want him to take that role in their dynamic.
and you can see that he does so immediately. he puts himself together and starts helping the crew. he's still bitchy but no longer violent and cruel. he helps stede and lucius immensely because that is what he does now. he's part of the family. twat.

1st Art of 2023, 100 First Artworks and a Look Back (Number 62)
62. Busy Scene
Trust me, I'm going somewhere with this. When I used to go to elementary school, particularly 2-4th grade (don't remember exactly, my memory is hazy), there was a some kind of children's savings account program, in which kids would deposit their (usually parents') money in and get it back at the end of the school year. And probably win some prizes, also we all had these little notebooks to write the amount of money and have a teacher sign it. It was some sort of economics deal made in cooperation with a state bank, it was a long time ago. Now, what's with this backstory? You see, with every new season (winter, spring etc.), we would get a new bank brochure with an illustration depicting a busy town street in each season. I remember enjoying looking at these artworks, and my favorite was the autumn brochure, and thought about making something in that vein. However, the scale was too big for the whole town, so I had chosen only a small part, the one taking originally 1/4 of the whole brochure, nowadays this wouldn't be a problem. About the piece, it's not a remake of any sorts, more like a narrow reimagining of something I have certain, quite vague memories of. I can't hate this thing, it's so colorful, it's packed with activity, has many different characters that I had a lot of fun while designing. Cons would include some of the cars and their details, also should have added more people, and the art style might be weird to some people. This said, I think this piece has a lot of charm, it's full of colors and characters, a dainty (maybe underrated) sleeper hit of 2020 uploads.
I don't know why, but making these super tiny portraits was really fun. My favorite is dark yellow/brown shirt-vest combo person with a half smile made of beads (second from the left). Come to think of it, kinda looks like pixel art.
From left to right for clarification/comparison: red-haired glasses guy, bead face, bird face, mullet man and a book girl.

with as many "oh fuck off (delighted)" moments as the fnaf movie had i don't think anything ignited a more visceral reaction in people than when matpat had a minor role and did indeed say The Line

Frankly, it is outrageous that this scene hasn't become a meme template.
