Summary
Stede Bonnet’s crew has many strange rules and rituals aboard the Revenge. They talk things out as crew, they get wages, they have jam sessions and story time, and this one is unspoken but vital: they absolutely do not follow the sound of rats on the ship, especially if it’s coming from the secret passageways.
It's only after Blackbeard tosses Stede's things, and maroons the crew, that Blackbeard learns an inkling of why.

Summary
The older sailors he'd trusted long ago warned Frenchie about what he should look out for because as they put it: his kind lived on the threshold of madness and the other folk liked that. He wishes he listened to them.
The Revenge changes after Blackbeard maroons the crew and throws out Stede's thing. And it may like Frenchie, but he's not immune to it's wrath.
Or maybe it's because it likes him that he's more affected by it, than it's intended victims.
