Moodboard for The Worst Ending AU aka hand in unlovable hand
Fic Playlist
[image id:Ā a collage of photos and stills from Black Sails. it includes Madi turned away from the viewer in anger, stacks of letters and books, close-ups of Silver and Flintās smiling mouths, a close-up of Flintās hands, Flint in a white shirt looking out over a foggy vista with his back to the viewer, Silver on Skeleton Island holding his pistol, text from Wuthering Heights that says āBe with me always ā take any form ā drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!ā and an open grave.Ā
the collage transitions from having more red-toned images at the top and green-toned images at the bottom. /end id]

āI did not kill Captain Flint. I unmade him. Captain Flint was born out of great tragedy. I found a way to reach into the pastā¦ and undo it.ā

okay letās back up again from me being insane and look at the BEAUTIFUL voiceover abigail delivers during nicholasā funeral. she sees the crew mourning their brother, the deep sadness, the rituals, and she has a revelation at last. god Iān so proud of her, a girl kidnapped twice by pirates and dubious as to the thirdĀ ārescueingā by a different pirate, allowing herself room to grow and change and see past her bias UGH I love it
āFrom across an ocean, it is hard to know what the New World is. All I knew were the stories I was told of monsters and valiant men sworn to slay them. But now that Iāve nearly traversed the ocean that separates New World from old, I fear that the stories Iāve heard may have clouded the truth more than clarified it.
It would seem these monsters are menā Sons, brothers, fathers. And it would seem these men fear their own monstersā An empireā¦ a navyā¦ a king. My father.
So much Iāve left behind meā London, my youth, and comfortable stories. So much lies ahead in Charles Townā A future and harder truths.ā
there it is folks, thereās the thesis of the show, and perhaps a bit more relevant in this given episode the thesis of the season. presented in beautiful cadence, in poetry.
who is the villain of s2? itās not ned low, no heās a bait and switch, that is quickly subverted, and itās not vane and his lumberjacks, not really. the villain of s2 is peter ashe and civilization. the villain in black sails is, at the end of the day, ALWAYS civilization.Ā
itās about truths and mistruths monsters and men and clouding and clarifying and the power of stories and how they trick us and how recontexualizing into a narrative, depending on the speaker, depending on the motive, depending on the INTENT, can influence one, can befuddle you, can block your perception and that a story MUST be interrogated
comfortable stories versus a future and harder truths
thatās black sails

Spamming absolutely random activities in a purely vibes-based order like a Super Smash Bros player mashing as many buttons as fast as possible to see if I hit some magical combo that breaks me out of the depressive 'zero interest in anything' state of being ykwim?

(cw necrophilia + cannibalism) silver kills flint on skeleton island and either fucks his corpse or eats him. or maybe both. (bonus points if he has conflicted feelings, he enjoys it but feels guilty)

sorry to be part of the elitist intelligentsia but i do think you have to read the text you have an opinion on if you expect your opinion to be taken seriously

benthic angel
was writing about lake sturgeon for a class assignment and showed one of my friends what i'd written.. he then sent part of it back to me with line breaks to turn it into a poem! i just had to draw something for it :]
poem text under the readmore:
lake sturgeon don't know
that they're endangered. They don't know
anything - other than the muck
at the bottom
of the water column
and the occasional passing
touch of another.
really touched by how my friend turned my technical writing into poetry. i haven't tried to write creatively in months, so it's nice to see i've still got it- and nicer still that i could get so inspired by my friend, since i haven't made nature art in a little while, either :>!!

I've been missing certain sensory features of my home state recently so I bought a candle called "Sweet Tea." Well... it didn't smell the right way when burning. So then I bought a different candle called "Magnolia."
Near-perfect replication. Nostalgia success! šŗš¼š»
