Set Sail With No Compass by zarah5 | M | 4778 Pirate AU. That's it; that's the summary.

A World Full of Shadows | E | 17979 When Harry Styles crashes back into Louis' life after a year apart, he knows chaos is about to ensue. As they embark together on their quest for revenge against the most well known pirate hunter of all time, old feelings come creeping back and Louis must fight to control them. There's also the small matter of fact that the last time he saw Harry he abandoned him on an uninhabited island and left him for dead. Whoops?

why take your life when you give it so willingly by we_are_the_same | M | 19079 Well, at least things can’t get much worse. Louis squints to avoid the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off of the waves. He doesn’t need to look around to know how dire his situation is: there is nothing but open sea around him, the remnants of his ship have long since disappeared, and by now it’s really not a matter of survival, but of what will kill him first. Will it be the wound on his abdomen, festering and throbbing? Will it be dehydration, made all the worse by the vast expanse of water surrounding him? Or perhaps it will be some sea animal, taking him for easy prey. ☠ ☠ ☠ When Louis Tomlinson, Captain of The Rogue, ends up adrift at sea after Captain Cowell attacks his ship, he is surprised to find his enemy, Captain Styles, coming to his rescue.

Sail Across Me by iwillpaintasongforlou | E | 21706 Harry is a prince that is about to be forced into marriage against his will and running away to sea seems like a much better option. Louis is the captain of the infamous pirate ship The Rogue and he has a thing for helping defenseless creatures. Especially when they're as pretty as this one.

Lead Butterfly by LadyLondonderry | M | 32995 Dawn breaks on a cloudy bleak morning sky. Salty mist sprays up with the swell of the waves and buffets all of the lonely sleepy ships that drift as their sailors sleep on. The Lady Charlotte dips and rises as it moves through the mist in the hopes of a clearly sky. The black flag flaps lazily from the highest mast, the emblem of the sparrow only a shadow from down on deck. When the ship Harry lives on is boarded and overtaken by the crew of The Lady Charlotte, he thinks it’s going to be the end of the line. What he’s not expecting is to be brought onto the ship and provided safe passage. At least, as long as no one finds they’ve mistaken a common pirate for a noble.

In Your Black Heart (Is Where You'll Find Me) by graceling_in_a_suit | E | 35954 Louis Tomlinson has been lying for five years. His crew sees him as a pirate, a Captain, and an alpha; only two of those are the truth. He was content to let the illusion go on forever, but an omega named Harry Styles just had to join his crew and get his warm-vanilla stink all over Louis' best laid plans. Or: the story of The Captain and The Carpenter.

Ace of Spades by allwaswell16 | E | 78342 Living as a sheltered omega in a farming village has not prepared Harry for life aboard the most notorious pirate ship to sail the Atlantic. Or Louis is a pirate, Harry is his captive, and no one is who they say they are.

Resist Everything Except Temptation by Lis | E | 100116 The lethargic sound of heels clicking against wood resonated across the sea. Footsteps descended the staircase, every assured step creating a menacing aura as it grew closer. Perspiration gathered along Louis’ palms as the rhythmic sound halted in front of him. “Captain,” Malik greeted. Louis watched out of his peripheral as Malik’s boots shuffled back a few steps. Sweat matted the hair along the nape of Louis’ neck as he waited for something to happen. He felt as if a sharp blade was twisting his gut as the silence became tangible. There was a metallic slide of a sword being pulled out of its sheath, the sound startling Louis out of his cocoon of sterile shock. His shoulders jumped as the tip of a blade flattened underneath his jaw. Louis’ distorted reflection stared back at him in the polished metal. Engraved rose petals twisted his appearance as they crawled up the length of the sword. The sword lifted and took Louis’ chin with it. Standing in front of Louis was Captain Styles. OR The one where Louis is the commodore's son who is forced to become a part of Harry's crew when he is captured.

Swim In The Smoke by whoknows | E | 101778 “What about this, Captain?” Liam asks, nudging the boy kneeling between their feet with the toe of his boot. The boy hisses and swipes at him, slurring out something unintelligible around the makeshift gag Niall had to stuff in his mouth. He misses by a mile and tries again, just as ineffectively. Harry looks down at him, at the way the sun streams over his face and shoulders, at the way the gag stretches his mouth, lips pink and chapped. He’s lithe and pretty, smudged all over with dirt. They had found him tied up below deck, mostly unconscious, next to a barrel full of gold. He’s clearly a prisoner, but there’s something familiar about him, something that niggles at Harry’s brain. Something he can’t quite put his finger on. “Put him in my cabin,” Harry decides, turning back to deal with the rest of the loot. The boys screams out jumbled curse words at Harry’s back, muffled by the gag, and Harry can’t understand any of it.

It is a beautiful day, and you are a horrible research transport vessel. Things are progressing as normal (i.e. it's boring) when a SecUnit pings you, lies right to your metaphorical face, and then tries to bribe you with human media to give it a ride. This is as unexpected as it is unprecedented, and the sheer nerve of it is really to be admired. There's no protocol to this, so what should you do?

Now, this is against a bunch of rules, and could be dangerous if you weren't so impressive and incredible, and you're technically an employee (and can probably rewrite the Univeristy charter at will (until someone notices and puts it back)) so those rules are for other entities.

So, what you should do is allow the rogue SecUnit with a broken governor module and a sketchy story aboard. If you check the files it dumps and find zero (0) malware (which is confusing), and it doesn't even try to trash the place or lay in wait to ambush a crew member, then you've got a good candidate!

Next, what you're going to want to do is absolutely nothing. Just watch it patrol your halls until it's time to leave. Continue staring at it while you're undergoing embarkment procedures. Maybe analyze it a little (you've got plenty of processing power to spare) when it finally sits down and starts watching media. Allow it to settle in and get comfortable while you stare at it and get further and further from port.

Now that you two are alone (intimacy is key!) and you've determined that watching media is all the SecUnit is going to do, it's time to make contact! Make sure to open by telling it it's only survived due to dumb luck, and letting it know you could melt its brain into putty. This starter will work to develop conversation naturally and smoothly, just like you've seen the humans do, and it will be smooth sailing from there!

This has been Perihelion's guide to making friends/finding life partners/fuck off Holism I had to work hard for this find your own

#murderbot diaries #murderbot #perihelion #it was not smooth sailing #it took ART about ten minutes to get secunit into a snit so bad it shut down out of spite #but they make it work somehow #tbh despite the rocky start if ART weren’t so ART i don't think the relationship would have lasted #ART is overbearing and kind of a bully and it earned its nickname very well #but i think thats why secunit can get along with it because it comes across as more genuine #mb was distrustful and a little patronizing to miki so while they COULD have been friends if canon hadn't happened it took it until miki #died to realize miki was being genuine about the friendship #whereas with ART MB can be like what we have is weird and I'm not gonna put a label on it #these tags have gotten away from me #anyway can you imagine ART having to explain to Iris and Seth WHY it let SecUnit on?? #like it could have justified it any which way but at the end of the day art was bored and then curious and then intrigued

the thing about the black sails finale is that dead/alive is a false dichotomy, which is why there lingers this need to vote for a secret third thing. it has roots in the same false dichotomy of victim/perpetrator that silver cannot get himself out of, that eleanor cannot get herself out of, that silver tries to put madi into, that max understands and weaponizes, that vane crawls out of at his very end. the answer is that james escapes the narrative, or rather the narrative can no longer contain him. the question of james flint or james mcgraw is a false dichotomy that can no longer contain him. he becomes the secret third thing, or is becoming it, in season four. he is unmade because he is removed. as far as the story is concerned, he is dead, because the storyteller can no longer conceive of what he has become.

#black sails #what remains is a haunting #i am not getting my point across well but i'm sleep deprived so forgive me #flint was not transforming into mcgraw but mcgraw was the only other box silver understood to put him in #which is why his story ends with the scene it does (putting him back into that narrative) #anyway. i reserve the right to change my mind on this in anywhere from two days to ten years lmao

[noknowshame]

In my imagination there's a Black Sails video game where Silver is the player character and as you get further into it there start to be glitches where you click a dialogue/action option and he does something else, and at the very end after the final boss at Skeleton Island your last choice is what to do with Flint and when you decide the game suddenly crashes and self-deletes every single file except for one .txt that just says 'you know of me all I can bear to be known.'

#at the point in the game that he loses his leg all of the controls switch places #so you have to re-learn how to function as a player along with him #Nassau is full of all sorts of side-quests and minigames #you actually have to memorize the schedule and its timed #you can walk up to the fruit-fruit tits-tits paintings and play 'find the differences' for points #you can buy hints from max for in-game money #anything involving cooking is disproportionately much more difficult and complicated than the entire rest of the game #the stories Silver tells to improve the charisma stat are based on items and events you come across in-game #god someone give me millions of dollars to make this #black sails #john silver

#these are their going ashore outfits #they wear much less clothing when sailing #a bunch of cuties #who would guess they're feared across oceans #ateez #ateez fanart #digital art #my art #artists on tumblr #my writing #this was really fun to draw actually #thanks ally for yelling at me to do it

[vitruvianmanbara]

i don’t want to get into this at 7 in the morning but so much of the current (and wack) thought around lgbt stuff came out of 2010s tumblr which came out of 15 year olds misinterpreting gender theory and feminist philosophy texts and and cherry picking historical information to validate their existing world view. and it makes me nuts that almost no one talks about or remembers it

#and now it affects irl language and policy of lgbt orgs and their funders #when people brush off ‘discourse’ as something that doesn’t exist offline it makes me crazy. bc 1) that ship has sailed across the board #there is no meaningful online offline distinction. 2) we already have seen this discourse permeate culture so successfully that no one #questions or talks about its origins anymore. like come onnn

miranda's green dress haters... perish.

#'it's not historically accurate!!!' idc it's hot #to be clear <- guy who took history of costume design classes. i am aware. have you considered she looks so hot though? #(also black sails is a show that is doing so much about telling of tales and evoking the sense of idealized memory in these sequences...) #(i think it's intentional. there are other wardrobe aspects in show that aren't entirely accurate either but it's okay) #(the point comes across to the audience. it's supposed to be like a play! it's supposed to be!) #the point was to give her a dress that she looks fucking stunning in. mission accomplished be a loser somewhere else #god idk the mission to get all wardrobe in films and drama series to be entirely historically accurate is kind of exhausting to me #it should evoke the era. sure. in some dramas it is more important than others it really depends what kind of story you're telling. #in this show its a set piece it sets the scene it's helping tell the story on another level than simply this is the exact year it is #you're so boring im sorry. you simply didn't get it.

[re-dracula]

Hello! May I ask how you plan on dealing with some of the problematic aspects in the original Dracula like phrenology, racial slurs (and general poor treatment) regarding Romani people, and psychiatric abuse? /gen

You sure may! We talk about it in detail here.

tl;dr: If it's load-bearing (aka relevant to the story, like some of the asylum stuff), it stays in with content warnings. If it can be removed without detriment to the story (like the racial slurs), it gets the boot.

I know this is probably a controversial decision, but at the end of the day we didn't want to inflict those aspects of the story on our cast, crew, and listeners if we couldn't justify it. There may be things we deem worth including that people think we should've removed, and things we remove that people think we should've included; but at the end of the day we have to draw a line somewhere and it made sense to draw that line where the cast and crew feels comfortable. (Especially since the cast has to say the things and the crew has to listen to each entry again and again during post-production).

How would the Prime Tails polycule first date go?

You know, I'm not quite sure what their first date as a whole group would be

Like in all honesty, their real first date is probably something like hanging out at one of Tails' labs or the Grim and just playing games before making dinner together

But if they decide to properly reveal their relationship in a bit more public manner to friends or community members, I think some people would consider their first date the date where they all go out to like a cafe or an amusement park or something.

Well, here's what I'm thinking, just for context. I don't think all of the members of the polycule are hesitant about revealing the relationship, and I can see Sails or Nine assuming that one's first date has to be something more traditionally well known as a romantic first date. Nine is a member of the polycule I can see as having to have a buffer period of getting used to all this before he can feel comfortable being clearly on a date in public, but I can see Tails as someone who doesn't subscribe to the idea of the traditional first date.

So I think because of this their real first date would be more casual. Planned, yes, but ultimately not meant to be public or exciting. And frankly, even if it is just hanging out at the lab, fixing up some stuff, making food together, playing board games or video games, while there will undoubtedly be some hiccups along the way and plans thrown out the window, I think they'll enjoy it in the end.

However, if they decide to make their public first date (when more people know about the relationship) something like going out to a restaurant? Yeah that has the potential to be a disaster. For some reason that sonic boom episode "My Fair Sticksy" comes to mind. So all I can say is that Amy probably gets them a reservation at a nice restaurant, Mangey's not dealing with the change of clothes very well (he's trying), Sails is trying his best to "act proper" and remember the "manner lessons" Amy probably gave them all, Nine is performing to the T, except he's not controlling his expressions as well as he thinks he is (so he's largely got resting bitch face. Partly because he doesn't want to be here), and Tails is trying to play damage control.

I think that kind of "first date" would end up in the group leaving early, Tails leaving a fat tip, and the polycule eating street food together under the stars instead
