It’s not about glory. It’s not about gettin’ what you want.
It’s about belonging to something when the world has told you you’re nothin’.
It’s about finding the family to kill for when yours are long dead.
It’s about letting go of ego for something larger.
The crew.

Rewatching for the 1000th time and I have to say how brilliant Zheng is with people. For each person she adjusts to be who they want her to be in that moment so that she can get the upper hand.
For Jackie, Zheng is the equal with money to trade. Jackie doesn’t care about anything else so Zheng keeps it straightforward.
With John Bartholomew, she’s angry at the English, but still sweet so that she isn’t a threat to him after the raid. She bonds with him so that all he wants is to help the sweet woman in front of him
With Stede, in episode 3 she is the girlfriend, pulling trust and information out of him while making him feel understood. She’s brilliant because she gets the info she wants from him (to also determine if he is at all a threat) and makes him feel like they are equal or he’s understood even when she gives nothing away to him except what she wants. Later, in episodes 7&8 they are on more even ground so she is more open with her judgement and opinions. She doesn’t need him and makes that clear, but she also helps him reconnect with Ed so he’s wormed his way in a bit.
With Ricky, she’s the planner, doing all of the work for him while stroking his ego and vanity and promising that he can take the glory.
I’d argue that she is most herself with Ed because they are equals and can both hold their own without needing something from the other. They also met in battle so of course you’re going to already have trust with someone who literally had your back.
Someone mentioned Olu (I can’t believe I originally forgot him!); She’s more open with him, and I think much of this is because they got to know each other at the soup stand. She tries her tough/in control persona when she tries to seduce him, but when that doesn’t work, she’s willing to be more vulnerable. I don’t think this is a manipulation like with the others, so I can’t imagine how hard that would have been to finally be vulnerable with someone and then see them pick someone else/sail off.
Her relationship with Auntie is complicated, but any adult child will tell you that as soon as they get with their parents, the dynamic changes.
She gives a masterclass in understanding your opponent and being a chameleon to get what you want. I sincerely hope we get to see more of her in a season 3!

Zheng was like I’m not threatened by any of you because of the soft, emotional, gay masculine energy you give off and it’s very nice and welcoming and non threatening in a refreshing way so yes you may live on my ship but instead she said “soft”.

Anyway, go ahead and blow your brains out, but your last act on this planet will be surrendering to a woman... Or we could have drinks.

Why are some people calling her "queen"? Apparently, she conquered some place called China.

I have not been the same since Zheng Yi Sao became a character in our flag means death. It means so much to me that pirate-related media is representing her more because I never would have known about her and she is too cool to be forgotten.
For years pop culture either portrayed her as the racist "submissive asian woman" stereotype or ignored her completely. It's infuriating. Now though we have a strong portrayal of her in both doctor who and our flag means death!! Let me tell you a few things about the rightfully named "Pirate queen".
On average, most pirates died 2 years after starting piracy. Edward Teach died after two years, Stede Bonnet died after one and Israel Hands impressively died around 8 years after starting, all executed. Our pirate queen died at 68 after a successful 9 year career. In fact, she only stopped because she was made to surrender and lived the rest of her years in effective retirement.
She inherited her late husbands pirate fleets and at one point commanded around 1,800 ships. Blackbeard is believed to have a maximum of 5- likely because he didn't get along with people well enough to amass enough crews to run them. She had the largest fleet in history.
Zheng Yi Sao was a leader and undoubtedly one of the most successful pirates ever and yet we dare to forget her.
