Thanks for tagging me @mostlikelytobeagainstcapitalism ❤!

10 characters/ 10 fandoms/ 10 tags (in no particular order)

James Flint - Black Sails

Madi Scott - Black Sails

Roj Blake - Blake's 7

Omar Little - The Wire

Elim Garak - Deep Space 9

Enjolras - Les Mis

Crowley - Supernatural

Chrisjen Avasarala - The Expanse

Moraine Damodred - The Wheel of Time

Gil Galad - The Silmarillion

Many of the charactes on this list are revolutionaries with progressive political views (Flint, Madi, Blake, Enjolras) so obviously this is the reason I love them. Omar stands out as an amazingly gentle yet admirable character among the gangsters in The Wire. Garak is my favourite among the morally grey characters, and Crowley is just great fun to watch. Avasarala and Moraine - scheming and manipulative, but essentially selfless and fighting for greater good. I also love Avasarala for her amazing fashion sense. Gil Galad is an inspiring figure in Tolkien's legendarium, the last High King of Noldor who held out against the enemy longer than any other.

There is a truly epic crossover of Black Sails and The Expanse lurking in the marrow of my bones somewhere.

like goddamn give me inner planet born James Mcgraw turned OPA fighter Captain Flint. Jack, Anne and Charles as Belters. The Urca as a Mars owned supply ship. The sheer goddamn chaos of Jack Rackham meeting the Rocinante crew for even two seconds.

One of the things that will always warm my heart is the genuine emotion that occurs between a sailor and a ship. I love it when it is depicted in any form of media.

Things like:

- The song Eight Bells by the Jolly Rogers

- the Millennium Falcon and all her pilots and captains

- the Black Pearl and both Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Barbossa. They always return to her in the series

- the crew of the Rocinante from the Expanse among others.

I have this love of Sci-fi stories that are centered around a ship and her crew. I think it started with Han, Chewie, and the Millennium Falcon, but it matured in me when we watched Star Trek: Next Generation every Saturday evening for years. I love the Enterprise and the Next Gen crew. Love them. Then it moved on to Serenity and her Crew. Firefly is one of the best shows of all time, ever. From there I embraced the Roci with Holden, Amos, Alex and Naomi with occasional visits from Miller and Bobbie (both book series and show), the Original Star Trek, and now Farscape with Moya and her crew. I'm just a total sucker for this trope. I think part of it is my eternal love of the Golden Age of Sail. I think I love that the home is an important and almost sentient, if not just actually sentient, part of the family. But, Firefly said it best. It's love that keeps you in the air.

I'm not big on space stories in general. I don't enjoy the terror of space, but give me a good ship, a crew to sail her, a guiding star and I'm all in.

okay but now that i have camina's ME au fully written out in detail........ does this mean it's time to do the same with the age of sail au i have cooking away in the bg 👀

#* / be yourself. everyone else is taken ( ooc. ) #considering that the belters as a collective is based very much on europe's colonisation of the americas in the 17th/18th century #it would actually be a very easy translation i think #especially as black sails and the expanse are telling very similar narratives thematically speaking #i will make the space pirate queen of my heart as flexible as possible in terms of interactions just u watch me B) #and who would i be if i didn't give all of my muses age of sail verses at some point lmaoooo

[mixedcontents]

I wish I were intelligent enough to articulate why The Expanse and Black Sails are two of my favorite shows and how they seem so damn different but are really telling a very similar story and all the circular themes the characters are trapped in from the beginning ECT ECT but I have a migraine so if someone else wants to write this essay for me I'd love to read it

#the expanse #black sails

[laufire]

since your faves morph with your re-watches. let's say ted lasso. but also black sails and tvd for the ask meme <3

LOL. It doesn't happen with every story, since I think it's a result of uniquely expansive character arcs and a 'verse so impactful on my psyche I'm bound to analyze it six ways to Sunday...... which is not THAT easy to find LOL. That said.

TED LASSO

This one could easily change because I really only have strong-ish attachment to the first 2-3 on the list tbh.

Rebecca. How could she not? She's the fucking shit. AND she's unbelievably hot.

Keeley. I ADORE everything she is.

Ted. His backstory regarding his father is eerily similar to that of one of my oldest, best-beloved OCs. Once I made that connection, it was downhill from there.

Roy. He and I are kindred spirits xDD

Sam. He's just a sweetheart with really good leading instincts once he's in a better place to grow. I have a soft spot for that stuff.

Least favourite: I mean, on the one hand, you have Rupert, who's THE WORST lol. But... yeah, yeah, Nate is on the path to redemption, and he's definitely suffered a whole deal, etc. etc. He just happens to act in a way I can't help but find abhorrent in people so.... he's on thin ice LOL. Rupert wins but he deserves the mention.

(the fact that season 3 has been out for a week and I've already seen two posts that tried to downplay his misogynistic/incel tendencies doesn't help tbh)

BLACK SAILS

This one is tricky. I do plan to do a proper rewatch (and then a stackedsails rewatch for 2025 :DDD), which will clarify things. There's no version of events where Max and Silver wouldn't be my numbers 1 and 2, respectively. It's afterwards that it gets trickier.

I've offhandedly mentioned this before but, at least with certain stories (those where I'm here to appreciate the entirety of the story, basically), the impact of a character's arc ends up weighing more than any feeling of affection that I might feel for the person they embody, if that makes sense.

I'd say Flint is the most likely candidate for number 3. The other two slots... characters like Madi or Mr. Scott are still on the running (mix of both appreciation of their impact and their rarity as characters, and admiration for their personalities); but others like Vane, Eleanor or Billy have prominent, incredibly satisfying individual arcs more in consistent dialogue with the story's themes that could give them an edge.

For least favourite: yes, antagonists like Ashe or Rogers are obviously awful (the latter is at least really interesting for me; the former is just a spineless worm). But man. The way this fandom overrates Thomas is just something else xD

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

Caroline. NUMBER ONE IN MY HEART, 5EVER, ETC. ETC. u know the deal.

Bonnie. I love her, I admire her, I understand her. And she's beautiful and I'm not made of stone.

Curveball ahead but: Elena. She's been promoted to #my schrödinger fave LOL. My opinion of her as a person hasn't changed xD, but she awakens my imagination and my love for narrative analysis like very few characters do.

Qetsiyah. I just think she's cool <3

Tyler. Oh, the tragedy of it :(

Least favourite: to quote myself - if you tied my hands behind my back, I would kill Damon with my teeth.

#i'm waiting for the time to drop that phrase just once (1) in spanish #(you can make it even more hardcore with the beauty of a more expansive vocabulary lol #''si me ataran las manos a la espalda lo mataría a dentelladas'' :))) #i want it to have true weight and lasting impact xDD #talking to the void #my thoughts #ted lasso thoughts #ted lasso tv #black sails thoughts #black sails #plecverse thoughts #the vampire diaries #top 5s #thank you for indulging me <3

[w1ckedgal]

Yes, you guessed it right!!! I started watching Black Sails.

Yes I'm obsessing over another piece of media that way I keep my brain entertained and I don't have to face or deal with real life nor my emotions xoxo

Alsoooo, I just finished The Expanse and it was also fucking awesome

#But it feos kinda weird going from a futuristic Sci fi to historical fiction but whatever #Yes it is 6am and I haven't slept #xoxo #my txt #black sails #The expanse #I need friends lmfao

But I know how to pretend to be a rather prosaic error in the timeline printed in the Otherwise authoritative "Encyclopedia Tamrielica", first published in 3E 12, during the battle, rebel spies managed to Beach the bows in a cloud of spray.

Blue and Pink were the first to arrive, making up for their recent absence on the other side of the world.  They had finished their supper and were just discussing the upcoming Essen, when Purple and Black arrived, quickly followed by Pine, to be regaled of tales of koalas, pandas and roos.  Green, Teal, Cobalt and Lime weren’t that far behind and then the group split into two to play.  The…
