FIFTH ANNUAL Talk Like a Pirate Day Bias List! 🏴‍☠️

                Alright ye landlubbers!!!  

    Today be the mun’s favorite day o’ the  year!  And before the swashbuckling shitposts commence, I’ve got a tradition to honor.  Since about 2015 ( with the exception of 2018 ), every September 19th, I make this here bias list promoting every ( active-ish??? ) pirate related blog that I follow or love.  In other words: all my pirate homies get a big ol’ PIRATE PROMO!!  But honestly this year I feel like we all could use a bit of love so on top of all that, I’ll also just be promoting my mutuals and friends.       I’ve been celebrating this day for 5 years, and I’ve spent 7 years her with Jessica and with you.  I love you all; it’s you people that make this fun. Thank you all for your patience and your passion. Talk Like a Pirate Day is always fun on this blog but I really missed community shenanigans so LET’S GET ON WITH IT THEN!

Lighthousecore but without the isolation. Your wife keeps the light with you. The two of you buy fruits and vegetables and fish at the village markets once a week. Everyone in your seaside town knows your name and respects you and watches for your light at night. The postman delivers packages to your door, big brown paper ones full of warm jackets and new lanterns. Sailors, mermaids, selkies, and merrow wave and you wave back.

listen whether or not you personally like sea shanties is another matter but if you’re telling me they don’t unlock something deep within you you’re lying

I need one of those lil belt thingies that hold pistols 🥺

do you have any recommendations for sea shanties? i am voracious for some Good sea shanties rn

Would you believe me if I told you there was an entire subreddit dedicated to this

But some of the classics:

Spanish Ladies

Roll the Old Chariot 

Blow the Man Down

South Austrailia

And did you know Sloop John B (made famous by the Beach Boys) was originally a sea shanty

Haul Away Joe

Drunken Sailor

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (NOT a sea shanty, but I’m from Michigan, this story has been ingrained into my mind to the point I feel emotional about it despite not even being alive for it, and it has obvious sea shanty influences so I’m including it fight me)

Types of People As My Favorite Sailing Superstitions

Whistling is bad luck/brings a storm: rope burns, cupboard doors rattling, you checked out a bunch of books about ghost stories from your elementary school library and never turned them back in (you crave meaning, you crave the weight of things that matter), old dogs, grey skies and choppy waves, double checking your window latches, blisters that become callouses and scars that become stories, spilled candle wax

Touching someone’s collar will keep them safe at sea: remembering a childhood lullaby, you go back to the places of your growing up sometimes (you want desperately to be able to look at the world without seeing the cracks, you are trying so hard to relearn faith) good luck charms, picking up milk bottles at the door, comparing hand sizes and mending broken things, dried flowers from a loved one’s garden, clean laundry

Killing an albatross brings misfortune: penance to the watchful sea, nickels and a whetstone, the horrible lurching feeling of waves hitting the broad side of the hull, vertigo (you are reeling, you are dizzied by the substance of the the world), promises, bleached out scallop shells on the high tide line, biscuits and lard and the reflection of your sole in a puddle, sand fleas, rotting seaweed, why must everything feel so solid but so empty

A ship’s cat sneezing means rain is on the way: the scent of a fish market, fiddle music and distant laughter, bright smiles, conversations with a stranger, you live and breath stories (you hope the world loves you back, you hope you can be a story someday too), learning to write with your off hand, rain on an aluminum roof, holes in your socks and mud on your shoes, picking up every penny you find on the ground, you are not ashamed to bleed

Cormorants are the spirits of those lost at sea: oil slicked feathers, clouded skies, bone dice in your pocket to see into tomorrow (you hunger to understand, to know more than this corner of space and time), carcasses washed up to shore, tide charts, bits and pieces of a conversation overheard, the lines mooring a ship to port, dead languages, lax sails, the sound of slashing water on a quiet night, flotsam
