i know that disney is too big to boycott effectively but that shouldn't translate to "and so we should keep buying their products like normal" but rather "at the very least we should try"

#i know they have their fingers in a lot of pies but #i've just been thinking #bc i don't watch star wars or sports or marvel and i don't rlly watch tv/cable anymore #and i haven't bought a disney product or gone to the theme parks #and as far as i know disney doesn't facilitate a necessity that can't be circumvented #and at the VERY‚ very least‚ we're supposed to pressure them #the way i personally interpret that is 'avoid directly supporting them as much as you can' #bc i'm aware that you could accidently support them by proxy by buying something they've invested in #which is why we're supposed to PRESSURE rather than BOYCOTT #but i just also want to see disney downfall in my lifetime but that's neither here nor there #idk man #i was so excited to hear abt the book of bill but I don't think i could stomach #directly supporting the company that pledged $2million to the occupation project #free palestine #and don't forget that you can still sail the seven seas (or just go buy old dvds! I need to build a collection) #lol it's easy to boycott if you're broke !

even the infamous pirate captain james flint isn't immune to the gay urge to shave your head when having a psychological crisis

I started watching Black Sails in 2017 or 2018 on the recommendation of my good friends and also literally every gay person on the internet. I got thru seasons 1 and 2 and started 3, but I was like “god this is intense, I better take a small break.” And now that about seven years have passed which I spent diligently avoiding any spoilers and refusing to remember the ones I accidentally did see, I think I’m finally ready to find out what happens to those crazy kids.

#this is a public declaration of intent. if I don’t start live blogging black sails season one in the next two weeks #feel free to yell at me #black sails

If your banker breaks, you snap; if your apothecary by mistake sends you poison in your pills, you die. True, you may say that, by exceeding caution, you may possibly escape these and the multitudinous other evil chances of life. But handle Queequeg’s monkey-rope heedfully as I would, sometimes he jerked it so, that I came very near sliding overboard. Nor could I possibly forget that, do what I would, I only had the management of one end of it.

Moby Dick by Herman Melville (chapter 73, The Monkey-Rope)

Hi, I hope you don't mind this message, and idk if anyone else has told you, but there's this troll going around on Tumblr named @/freethepuppet. They claim to be “fighting for justice in the puppet industry”, but really they're just sending hateful and threatening messages to Welcome Home and My Friendly Neighborhood artists/fans.

I myself have receive multiple death threats from this person, and they have sent threats to many of my friends over the matter, some of which are minors.

Because of this issue, I have decided to keep myself and my friends anonymous, especially considering the fact that @/freethepuppet intends to send threats to PartyCoffin himself, along with the creator behind My Friendly Neighborhood.

I just wanted to warn you about this person, so that you can block and report them, as well has tell others in the community about the troll. If you decide to ignore this, then that's fair and I respect your decision.

In any case, I hope you and your friends stay safe. Best of luck!!

blocked! thanks for letting me know! to add on to this, a little advice for everyone:

Don't Engage With This Person At All!

Don't Look At Their Stuff, Don't Respond To Messages, Don't @ Them Or Give Them The Time Of Day. Just Go Block Them And Let Them Exhaust Their Own Hate

#block and move on - thats the best way to deal with this sort of thing #dont give them a single millimeter to work with #they'll get tired of their own vitriol eventually #its like the best way to deal with assholes who say horrible things just to start shit: just ignore them completely #an 'ok. anyway-' will take the wind out of their sails better than any counterargument #they WANT you to engage. they WANT you to argue. they WANT you to waste your time on them #so. Don't! #block and ignore and move on with your day knowing that you're free from that bullshit <3 #rambles from the bog #and you know? i hope that person gets better #no one goes out of their way to be so hateful unless they've got their own shit going on so. #even though i have them blocked! a message to that guy! #things Will get better. i hope that one day you look back on your hate blog with embarrassment and maybe some guilt #because you're in a happier - or at least more peaceful - state of mind #good luck man. ik its rough out there. you'll get through it

And also, the 2024 Black Sails Kink Meme AO3 Collection that will be used to post fills is open and ready!! (heh heh) 😀😀

Information regarding posting to AO3 collections can be found here. The expanded guidelines and rules for fills can be found here.

A reminder that there is NO CLAIMING PROCESS NECESSARY! If you see a prompt that strikes your fancy, you are IMMEDIATLEY encouraged and free to fill it, there is NO LIMIT ON FILLS for each prompt!

Both prompt submissions and fills will be open simultaneously through the entire span of the event.

As more prompts come in, I will continue to assign them numbers and post them using the tag #2024BSKMemePrompts. As they come in, fills will be reblogged under their prompt using the tag #2024BSKMemeFills. (If you submit your fill and do not see it immediately, please remember it's just me handling the organization and I might be asleep. But rest assured just as SOON as I get the notification on the collection I will publish it on Tumblr.)

#12 questions - 18 results - with pictures #black sails #bs uquiz #bea.pdf #soooo intrigued at how the results will skew #& also how ppl will answer the free text question as usual

[somfte]

I am not saying this was our inevitable end ... I am saying we have found the best and truest and kindest thing we can do in this moment. Tell me no, and we'll go on as we have been ... and we'll go on unafraid ... but say yes, and we will make this end, and this beginning, together.

[image description: two gifs from Black Sails. The first is Silver, in the forest on Skeleton Island, looking at an offscreen Flint with the expression of someone who is trying very hard not to cry. Text on the gif says, "Life is too short." The second is Flint, in the same forest, looking at Silver just barely visible, blurry, in the foreground, with an expression of resigned sadness. Text on the gif says, "and love is too long." /end description]

so...willow. willow is mastermind in action. it’s a love potion bubbling, an aphrodisiac seeping through your veins as you follow the red string of fate to your lover, your soulmate, your predetermined destiny. it’s the pull between fate and control. ‘wherever you stray, i follow.’ is this your choice, or are your feet merely following the path set for you by the alignment of the planets and the fates and all the stars during your birth? you find yourself trapped in a box of your own making, trapped in the clutches of fame, of patriarchy. you’re a doll on display in a white wedding dress. ‘i’m begging for you to take my hand / wreck my plans.’ are you the hunter or the hunted? a witch or the bewitched? ‘wait for the signal and i’ll meet you after dark.’ can you escape your fate, and will he come with you? was it your fate to escape it all in the first place?

#i'm BEGGING. #anywhere else is HOLLOW. #there was one prize i'd cheat to win #every bait and switch was a work of art #you see all the wisest women had to do it this way / cause we were born to be the pawn in every lover's game #i'm the wind in our free-flowing sails / and the liquor in our cocktails #i saw a wide smirk on your face / you knew the entire time / you knew that i'm a mastermind / and now you're mine #that's my man! #... #so basically i'm going to be insane about this for the next 5-7 business days #willow #mastermind #vi is typing...

Black Sails Spring-Summer 2024 Kink Meme Interest Check

HI I'M THINKING OF DOING A THING. Here's an interest check form, mwah <3

--

Premise:

Hi, Jay here!

So this would be like an oldschool style kink meme (further explanation here) where the prompts and fills are ALL anonymous to encourage folks to get to actually ask for what they really want and for other ppl to feel as open as they like to go ham on it.

I'd set up the submissions for prompts (they would be submitted on a new tumblr blog called Black Sails K Meme, using anon asks for the prompt submissions) around March or April 2024 and it would be open til the end of Summer 2024 for both prompts and fills.

Multiple fills allowed, 500 words minimum, no maximum. A free for all for kinks and pairings and content in the Black Sails universe. Everything will be tagged accordingly, read at your own discretion. The fills would be posted in a collection on AO3 anonymously and then the link would be attached to the original prompt (via reblog by the event tumblr to keep anonymity)

If at a later date in time after the kink meme completes, you would like to un-anon your fic, that's your prerogative. But to keep the spirit of the thing, EVERYTHING WILL BE ANONYMOUS while it's live.

So, interest check!!

(THIS IS AN 18 PLUS EVENT)

#black sails #black sails event #feel free to DM me with questions #or if you want to help out with anything #would be super nice if yall could reblog this for me 🥺🥺

[ID: Image 1: A screenshot of a tumblr post reading "The shame of being a werewolf has to be that you were bitten by the wolf, and you survived" Image 2: A screenshot of John Silver from Black Sails Season 3 Episode 7, after killing Dufresne. He is looking resolutely to the left and his face is splattered with blood. Image 3: A screenshot of a tumblr post that reads "You survived because you became the wolf yourself. You are this terrible, monstrous thing, and the terrible, monstrous thing is you. It's the part of you that survives the attack, and it’s terrifying that this is you." Image 4: A screenshot of text, with a highlighted section reading “I would see him in a thousand forms, and with a thousand diabolical expressions. Now the leg would be cut off at the knee, now at the hip; now he was a monstrous kind of creature who had never had but the one leg, and that in the middle of his body. To see him leap and run and pursue me over hedge and ditch was the worst of nightmares.”]
