Perhaps I'll share that feeling with Anne and let's just see how quickly she turns that anger in your direction. It won't work. No? Why? Because I believe that somewhere, somehow, you have known she has wanted this... needed this for a very long time. I'm giving it to her. And now that she has it, it would be exceedingly difficult for her to let it go. This upsets you. This threatens you. I am sorry. There is nothing you can do about it.
Next year in January it's gonna be 10 years since our favorite show set sail! Let's do something awesome!
We're making a fanbook and we want everyone to join! If you're interested, if you paint, draw, play, do cosplay, make ikebanas out of coffee grounds, chase sharks across the oceans or train walruses, join us! If you do none of those things, join us anyway! We welcome everyone who wants to express their love for Black Sails in a creative, visual way!
The brief rundown is up there ^^^ and the full version is in this pdf on our little google island:
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Pspsps... reblog it please, so it can reach as many people as it can!
[Image ID: information about the event written out on the backdrop of a seascape that looks like sunset. The text says: Fellow pirates and fans of Black Sails! On January 25th 2024 we will all be celebrating 10 years since our favorite show premiered. Because of this, we would like to invite you all to create a fanart book with us! "Know no shame!" We all remember Meditations and how the title page dedication from Thomas broke and empowered us... How about we create our own dedications to the show? The rules are simple: create a dedication page to Black Sails - paint, draw, write, or take a photo! Are you a cosplayer and want to participate? Amazing, pose! Do you sketch cartoonish characters? We love them! Are you a writer? Fabulous! Join us! Are you a fan and just want to say thank you, yes, please! It's your piece of paper! We will make the fanbook available in PDF form for the enjoyment of all! And maybe print it out for the creators of the show. The format is A4 (a page per participant), and the deadline is December 24t!. You can submit your works to [email protected] If you have any questions, we'll be happy to answer them (or help you out in case of trouble). #BlackSals #10YearsBlackSails / End ID]

Black Sails Musical Parallels | III. XII. XXV.
I spent a year rewatching Black Sails and tracking all the bits of music that repeated at any point during the show, and my findings are reinforcing that Bear McCreary is a genius and this show should have been called 'parallels that will kill you over and over again'* (tag | chronological)
