one of those etched glass things with walruses on it (and a little tiny walrus made of something???), figure long/tall guy holding a little baby, horrifically aged mickey mouse marionette, small clay man using a pottery wheel to make other clay creations, permanently befuddled wind up cat, and an actually pretty cute rushton style elsie doll! All found in Wareham MA!

All hands!

We've thought about some kind of a fun challenge... and we came up with something properly Christmas-y. Here's our Santa Flint, coming with his walruses to make your Christmas better (hopefully)!

Wanna join into some fun with us?

Save the pic, print it or put it into photoshop, color it, edit it, have fun with it! Sky is the limit! Then, once you're done, post it and tag #MerryBlackSails We'd LOVE to see what you do with it (and reblog it to share the Christmas craze)!

As an additional incentive, we will put the works into the Black Sails Fanbook that we're creating for the 10th Black Sails anniversary! And the best one will get a full page all for itself ;)

So... what say you? Aye?

For all those interested, here's a no background version:

It's the line about having the morals of a seagull that gets me. Observe below.

Pinnipoids!!

As you guessed it. Yes! Weird-looking seal people across the clade! Seeing them in forms of seals, sea lions, and walruses!

Been drawing these guys a lot lately, and yes you can tell the Salmon Run inspiration (Along with Selkie folklore inspo for the designs, a bit). First started as a Splat AU of "What if there's surviving mammals like these guys" but went "Nah, they're gonna be in my weird little verse/species kind of thing"

They're so silly...I wanna dwell in more of Pinnipoid culture, their style, etc etc, and also turn my favorite characters and media into Pinnipoids, who said that?

Okay, another poll to the fairy vs walrus debate. (Assume your door is accessible to a walrus.)

If you didn’t vote on the original poll just pretend you did.

Merry Fucking Christmas Black Sails Fandom!

Hope you have a good one, whether you celebrate or not. May there be a lot of walruses, may your quartermaster be competent at swinging people's opinions, and may that Barlow woman always cast sea spells in your favor! Hope the empire falls and the winds are favorable!

First line: A close-up gif of a walrus's snout and tusks as it sleeps, it's nostrils twitching. A close-up gif of a cosplayer's fairy wings bouncing as they move. And a close-up gif of a Walrus laying down and looking over it's shoulder at the camera.

Second line: A close-up gif panning over someone laying in the grass with electric flapping fairy wings on their back. A gif of a door handle moving down and the wooden door opening. And a gif of a child walking around grass and trees with electric flapping fairy wings on their back.

Third line: A gif of a walrus flopping along on land. A gif of a cosplayer wearing shimmery fairy wings and stroking their hair. And a close-up gif of a walrus moving it's flipper down to it's side.

Walrus (Odobenus rosmarus)

Family: Walrus Family (Odobenidae)

IUCN Conservation Status: Vulnerable

Although it is related to seals and sea lions the Walrus is the last living species in its family, and as such its behaviour, anatomy and ecology differs considerably from that of its closest relatives. Among the most prominent traits that set it apart are its enormous canine teeth (referred to as tusks), which protrude from the upper jaws of all adults of this species (although the tusks of females are notably shorter and thinner than those of males.) A Walrus’s tusks serve a variety of functions: they aid a Walrus in dragging itself out of the water, can break through ice to keep breathing holes used to surface for air open, serve as a visual indicator of an individual’s strength (with the highest ranking individuals in a group of Walruses, known as a herd, often being those with the largest tusks), and can be used in combat, both to fight off this species’ few predators (primarily Polar Bears and Orcas) and to battle with rivals to establish social hierarchies and to compete for mates. However, despite being teeth, the tusks are not used when eating (with Walruses feeding by creating suction with their tongue and lips, and having very few teeth besides their tusks.) Found in coastal regions throughout the arctic circle, Walruses spend much of their time foraging for food in shallow waters (typically doing so by rooting through sediment on the seafloor with their snouts and detecting prey using a “moustache” of touch-sensitive whiskers on the upper lip) and prey primarily on marine invertebrates such as clams, shrimps, crabs, worms, snails, octopuses and sea cucumbers (although they may also take small fish, carrion and, on very rare occasions, young seals.) When not feeding, Walruses haul themselves onto sea ice or beaches and gather in large social groups (herds) which may contain hundreds of individuals, typically all of the same sex. During the mating season (which lasts from late December until March) these single-sex herds come together, with males claiming an area of land as their territory before attempting to court females by swimming near their territories and producing a series of booms, whistles and clatters using an air-filled sac in their throat. If receptive to mating a harem of females may gather to mate with a single male, while males that would otherwise show no aggression to one another will use their tusks to fight off rivals in a manner comparable to the rutting behaviour seen in deer. After a gestation period of 15-16 months females will give birth while resting on sea ice (typically to a single calf, although twins have occasionally been reported), and calves will typically remain with their mothers until they are around 3 years old, beginning to develop their tusks during their first year of life. All Walruses belong to one of two genetically distinct subspecies: the Atlantic Walrus (Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus), which is native to the northern Atlantic ocean, and the Pacific Walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens), which is native to the northern Pacific ocean.
