oh nothing just thinking about that period between xvii and xviii where flint wakes up alone in a cell, his partner’s blood drying on his face, and realizes with a terrible clarity that nothing will be the same ever again

#I NEED TO NOT BE HERE RIGHT NOW. #that implied time makes me feel the worst things in the worst way. #i understand now why yall were saying that miranda wasn’t the only one that died that day #rocking back and forth and thinking about how hard he tried to be james mcgraw this season. #if anything the constant flashbacks to his past indicate that he’s still hovering between his two identities #especially when he speaks his old name into existence with abigail and miranda…. #he hasn’t forgotten it. he doesn’t want to forget it. he doesn’t want to reach that point of no return #and in charlestown he was willing to act the part of a muzzled dog if it meant he wouldn’t be seen as just captain flint #but a muzzled dog is still an angry dog and when you take away the thing it loves… #cries so hard i throw up #black sails #james flint

Max and Madame Guthrie. Standing in their beautiful coats in the heart of a thriving colony, discussing how a little piracy on the edges of their world benefits the companies that run the place because they can charge a premium in risk insurance. Over a decade ago, on the other side of the world, Lieutenant James McGraw stands next to Lord Thomas Hamilton at the gallows and explains to him that civilization needs its monsters.

“How well did you know my granddaughter?” asks Madam Guthrie, speaking to her direct and textual replacement. Speaking to the instrument through whom she intends to wield control over Nassau through the veneer of freedom.

What yougotta understand is that when you're interacting with blogs from a fictional universe, such as the English Willy saga, ya DON'T GIVE THE GAME AWAY. Don't just TELL THEM all the plot. Don't tell them exactly what's happening!! Don't tell them the important names!! Send asks and such but actually think through, how would a normal person respond to all this? How would a normal Tumblrina respond? The answer is YOU PROBABLY WOULD NOT FIND FUCKING EVERYTHING OUT IMMEDIATELY. The answer would probably be memes and clowning on things! If you wanna allude to things that will happen in the plot, ALLUDE to them. If you know that someone's gonna burn to death, say you hope the stress doesn't cause them to burn out. Please, my Tumblrinas, learn the art of subtlety in writing. You are not the main character in fictional universe blogs. It's okay.

#cassie rambles #english willy #this post was prompted by me getting annoyed ppl in the comments of the english willy posts were just straight-up giving everything away #PEOPLE. LEARN THE ART OF ''WAITING'' AND ''SUBTLETY'' AND ''YOU'RE NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER HERE'' #like just straight up saying ''yeah that probably means elizabeth! that's probably a murderer's corpse in there!'' #girl these reveals take TIME #the reason the "lisbef'' thing and the ice cream thing work is because we know the plot to fnaf! we know what he's talking about! #we don't need it to be said explicitly! that's what show dont tell is! #and it sucks the wind out of the sails if you just say ''oh yeah that's a reference to elizabeth afton'' #it's like if the op brought up fires and someone immediately said ''oh fazbear frights is gonna burn down btw'' #like NO. THAT'S NOT WHAT GOOD WRITING IS. THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DO REFERENCES TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL. #the reason saying like ''aw i hope mike doesnt get cold in there i hope he brought smth to stay warm :('' works is because it isn't blatant #i mean if you know hte plot to fnaf 3 it is but if you don't it doesn't break immersion by just telling us the plot #all of this is said lightheartedly #anyway. #LIKE NO YOU IDIOTS!!!! DON'T JUST BRING OUT CIRCUS BABY BLATANTLY!!!!!!!!!!!! #YOU'RE TRYING TO RUSH THE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET IT BUILD UP AND THE PAYOFF WILL BE BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #STOP TRYING TO BE THE MAIN CHARACTER!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE A SIDE HARACTER HERE ADN THAT IS OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

finnish word of the day: kaarnalaiva (a small toy boat made out of tree bark)

#käärijä #peas and corn käärijä #me to myself: don't do it. take a break from drawing & posting him nobody actually cares you're definitely overdoing it >:( #also me: cornpea käärijä making himself a little boat to sail with!!! huhhahhei!!! :D:D #the thing about my corn son is that he's so simple and fun to draw it's way too easy to get carried away & keep drawing him again and again

I love how angsty pirate kirishima is

Hehe imagine reade not really taking his feelings seriously, so they don’t mind flirting back and fourth w people at bars. Letting them wrap their hands around ur waist etc etc … but kiri is insecure and actually very serious about you so as soon as he sees that he’s jealous and wants to push the other off of you.

I love the idea of him just wanting readers validation at the end of the day 🥹

noooo, bc the thing about reader and pirate kiri is. i don’t think you do take him seriously at first !!! 🥺 bc you don’t know much about him, personally, other than that he’s a pirate !!! and you never know with those adventurous guys like that; if he’s got other partners in other places, someone to lie with wherever he stops 🥺 and he’s not around always, y’know ?? sometimes he’s gone for days, weeks, maybe even months ? depending on how much he gets into out there. so you just don’t know !!

so then he shows up one day to see some other gentlemen making their move on you 🥺 and he’s been out at sea !! thinking of only you !! 🥺 just to walk back in and see such a thing in a local tavern !!! 🥺 i imagine he’s got some small bouquet of your favorite flowers — which you only mentioned once, but he remembers !!! — and he sees you laughing and smiling and i think he just. walks up to the bar and lays the flowers right in front of you, wordlessly.

and you look up all surprised because you didn’t even know he was back in town — he literally just got in and came straight to find you 🥺 — and he just smiles at you kind of sadly, but before you can even say his name or anything, he just nods once to you and then turns and walks out. and you’re left there stunned !! because you did miss him, too 🥺 you sort wish you hadn’t, since you don’t know where you stand with him and everything 🥺 but you can’t deny that you did 🥺 and the other man is asking who that is and telling you not to worry about him but 🥺🥺🥺

i like to think that you do go find him, after that 🥺 you bring your little flowers and you go to the docks to see him loading up like he’s about to leave 🥺 carrying stuff onto his ship, as you stand by and watch him quietly, and when he turns around to grab a small crate of something, you’re sitting on it, smiling at him.

“forget something?”

and he finds you so cute !! so he can’t help but to smile a bit, though you can tell his feelings are hurt. he shakes his head: “didn’t mean to interrupt ya’.”

“i’m glad you did,” you tell him honestly, and the sincerity weighs your smile down into something serious that makes him frown, too.

“are you?” he asks quietly, like he’s not sure he wants to know the answer, but he smiles again, just a bit, when you nod and bring the flowers to your face to smell. “how glad?”

you roll your eyes a bit when he laughs, because he’s so cheeky and handsome, with his little grin, but you pull your feet up onto the crate you’re sitting on and adjust your dress, lay the flowers in your lap. and kirishima steps right up to you, brushing his thumb over your cheek. you tell him, “so glad, in fact, that i think i will sit right here, so that you cannot leave again without me at your side.”

he doesn’t even pretend to think about it; instead his grin grows, and he is disregarding the flowers entirely just to hoist you up into his arms. “alright boys, set sail before she changes her mind!”

and you laugh and you smack him for being silly and you take his hat off his head to wear yourself, all while he laughs, whiskey-warm 🥺🥺🥺

#WAAAAAHHH i love him #and then you sail away to some uncharted island and the crew leaves you there for a night or two for yourselves 🥺 #and when kiri takes you back — bc as much as he wants you there it’s not exactly safe for you out on the open ocean — he gets a lil nervous #and tells you to wait for him this time 🥺 and you promise you will 🥺 that you’d wait as long as he asks you to 🥺 #he makes me SICK i want him so bad #✿ willow writes #✿ ask willow #✿ thoughts: kirishima #✿ theme: pirate kirishima

nat scatorccio (yellowjackets) / anne bonny (black sails)

#anne bonny #nat scatorccio #yellowjackets #black sails #maxanne #lottienat #nat loses her sense of purpose (being a provider) / anne loses her sense of purpose (being a pirate) #travis dies and takes away the forest / rackham leaves and takes away the sea #lottie and max are both catalysts for nat and anne's relationship with these men transforming/deteriorating #but also offer a promise of vulnerability openness and equality that could not be found with travis or rackham #not sure i fully trust the execution of this arc in nat's case but i do love the concept #all of this bc seeing nat wear uggs made me so mad i had to try and rationalize it <3

kind of fascinating how as writers you can establish that these characters are victims and how they're mistreated. and go ahead and mistreat them the same way like how do you do that

#sailing away on a boat and im taking gale and wyll with me #we wrote a story where a character is a puppy and he gets kicked.. yeah :((.. we will also be kicking said puppy

why do the super rich have yachts? or worse yet, super yachts? why do they have useless, endless, tasteless luxury? what would you do with loads of money? would you get a yacht??

#I understand it's nice to be sailing but personally I would take time off work to learn to sail a sailboat. and maybe get a fancy sailboat #like a vintage one. #I mean if it has to be sea related innit #I would probably just indulge a few fantasies (house in the woods #the sailboat #surround myself with animals #buy lasting clothes and SHOES god knows I need it #and give the rest away? #bc I like my work and don't need loads of money especially if I didn't have to pay rent like ever ohhh nicely #anyway I'm NOT super rich but I wouldn't get a yacht. ever. my dad would disown me (not that he has anything to give but I like our #relationship) #I'm sorry I woke up at 3am #WHAT WOULD U GUYS DO???

it’s crazy to me that in black sails when they’re adrift without enough food and water for days/weeks they don’t resort to cannibalism. they literally killed 2 men and for what. the first thing in my mind the second flint shot the first guy’s head was oh good, food

#like i wouldn’t straight up do it cause i’d be scared someone would be so against it they’d kill me or smth #but when ppl were ab to get rid of the body i’d take a big chunk of thigh for myself #and offer another to whoever’s throwing the body away and be ready to fight if they attacked me or sth #black sails #text #giocore #live blogging

trying to figure out Lomion's relationships for the reverse gondolin au - so far I have Rog as his mentor instead of Eol and Celegorm as his "uncle". he's not particularly close with Idril, but Turgon helps him with the politics/statecraft stuff. anyways I can't figure out a marriage candidate for him for heir-identification purposes so

#silm #silmarillion #reverse gondolin au #not art #lomion #i dont really have any ship/sexuality headcanons for lomion #so idk who to stick him with #but he is the high king after all and does need somewhere for the crown to go in the case of his likely demise #maedhros can get away with zero children because he has plenty of brothers & cousins #but sadly lomion is an only child (or at least the only surviving child...?) #and by his reign most of his family has been wiped out #idril still sails in the au so she cant inherit #i think celebrimbor is the only close friend/family he has living after the destruction of gondolin?? #celebrimbor def would not *want* to be king but i could see him taking the crown in an emergency #so that sauron/morgoth/whoever would focus on him and give his family/people time to escape #the lomion/tyelpe idea actually happened bc i was thinking about if he should be obsessed with the opposite cousin the au #since idril is like 300some years younger than him and they didn't meet until much later #and anyways they're even more cousins-removed than russingon so it should be fine right? lol #the other main marriage option im considering is giving one of the other Lords a kid #maybe egalmoth can have a random daughter somewhere in there? #i don't want to make it too much of a 'random person + random heir kid' situation #so maybe he can just adopt a kid? but then if he dies early the kid is too young #(bc he doesnt have a kid when idril arrives) #also gil galad is younger here to make the timelines work #anyways and if he dies early and his kid is too young but he's also not married and has no siblings then idk who would be regent #bc by the end of the FA i'm aiming to have turgon & aredhel dead; elwing & earendil dead/departed; tuor dead; and idril sailed #and then that leaves like nobody alive family wise #aaagh help me i have no idea who inherits after him #like. does celebrimbor have to be king for a few hundred years? he probably would sooner dissolve the formal kingship than deal with that #or do i throw it back at gil galad? how does gil even get to gondolin?? where does he come from

OHHHHH KARNA LOVE CONFESSION LETTER IS SOSOSOOOOO GOOD. YEAH I CAN FUCK WITH THAT SO MUCH. KARNA ON HER DEATH BED MAKING SAVING THROWS GETTING CARRIED OUT OF THE MYCELLIUM AND THE CAVES FIRST BY DELI AND THEN WHEN HE STARTED STUMBLING, OVERTAKEN BY THE POISON, CARRIED BY COLIN; OUT INTO THE WSRM LIGHT OF THE BULB SHE DIDNT BELIEVE IN. KARNA WHO BARELY MANAGES TO GET STABILIZED BETWEEN THE WOUNDS AND THE POISON AND HER OWN ROT BUT SHES BREATHING. BARELY. LAYING ON THE GROUND BLEEDING AND PALE FROM THE POISON AND THE ROT AS THEY ALL TRY TO CATCH THEIR BREATH AND AMANGEAUX CASTS A LITTLE SOMETHING BUT IT DOESNT HELP MUCH BC KARNA IS SO POORLY OFF AND THEY FINALLY MANAGE TO GET HER BACK TO THE ENCAMPMENTS AND FIND A BULBIAN CLERIC OF SOME KIND (that deli threatens, voice shaking, hand empty without his long-abandoned spear, eyes red and bloodshot and colin hovering like a ghost at his shoulder, into silence and compliance despite karna's unnatural poisoning and the rot overtaking her body- clear evidence of the hungry one) THAT MANAGES TO HELP STABILIZE KARNA A LITTLE MORE BUT SHES STILL OUT. STILL UNCONSCIOUS. AND THEY ALL SIT AT HER BEDSIDE, LISTEN TO HER FAINT RATTLING BREATHS. AMANGEAUX NEVER LETS GO OF HER HAND AND DELI CAN'T BRING HIMSELF TO LOOK AWAY AND ALL THREE OF THEM REMEMBERING THE MISSING MEMBER OF THEIR GROUP WHOM THEY COULDN'T GET BACK OUT OF THE CAVES AND. AND EVENTUALLY COLIN TELLS DELI TO GO BACK TO HIS CAMP AND REFRESH HIMSELF AND CHANGE OUT OF THE DUSTY SPORES-COVERED ARMOR, STILL BLOODY FROM BATTLE, AND THATS WHEN DELI FINDS THE LETTER KARNA LEFT FOR HIM. AND. AND. AAUGHGGUGGG. DELI WHO WAS BETRAYED BY AND THEN IMMEDIATELY LOST ARIANA AND THEN ALMOST LOST KARNA AND COLIN WHO'S THERE BESIDE HIM BUT SO COLD AND SO LOST AND DELI IS. AUGHGRUG. THERES SOMETHING HERE AND MAYBE ITS JUST FOR ME BUT ITS HERE.

#HI GANG IM STILL ON MY COLINDELIKARNA TRAIN CHOO CHOO #canon death i do not see you i do not recognize. i appreciate the narrative implications of karna dying but. also. no i dont #i just think. karna learning the lesson of balance that raphaniel got too late and once again serving as his foil and being the one to TAKE #the lesson and carry it forward. soemtihng something karna who started rotting way too young and maybe there's not a way to reverse the rot #that was already cut away from her body and maybe she can't undo the things she's already done. but she can learn a new balance #she can achieve new growth. and maybe her leaves will always have jagged holes in them. cauterized and rough. and maybe the skin of her #cheek will always be pockmarked and grey where it should be smooth and ruddy. but she is alive. and she can turn her one good eye up to the #the light of the bulb and even if she doesn't believe in it. she can see it. and she can grow under its warmth. yk? #also i want her to sail alongside colin and deli. i think ot3 pirate throuple would be really fun for me honestly #trw #d20 #karna solara #thane delissandro katzon #amangeaux epicée du peche #colin provolone #raphaniel charlock #d20 spoilers

#i! feel! so! disconnected! from everything and everyone #and it’s so god damn annoying #I either feel nothing at all or everything at once and I can’t balance it #but if I take the time to sit with the things I’m scared of I’ll just keel over I don’t have time for it #Im just on autopilot moving ahead #because I have to! if I don’t my fear will win from me and that will Not be pretty #and that’s what I’m so upset about like I didn’t get something I really wanted #and it’s fully because of anxiety but the alternative is WORSE #and the people involved don’t KNOW I have anxiety but I can’t tell them either because it will make them look at me differently and I can’t #afford them to. I can’t let that happen and I think this is the first time I’m realising how much it holds me back even after uni #and I’m so angry over it dndndnd so so so angry and if they KNEW how much I had gone through no one would ever doubt my ability to — #bounce back and take charge of a situation ever again. they’d know I can do that. But it’s too private to share so now it’s up to me to #BELIEVE it and just show them but it takes so much out of me every time #and if it weren’t for the pandemic I would’ve been much further along and if it weren’t for my fucking burnout I’d have been further along #and it weren’t for my Fucking dad I’d be further along. I’m just so mad #so mad that I have to undo and tackle so much when people just sail through things but for me EVERYTHING takes effort #also I have not seen or spoken to my dad since December and I have a wedding he’s attending and I can’t get out of it #and I constantly pingpong between ‘its for the best I broke off contact I needed the space to heal’ and ‘I am a horrible person for taking #his only daughter away from him instead of talking’ #but I’ve TRIED the talking and he just never LISTENS????? and made me feel so unsafe in this world at all times #I’m constantly trying to undo all that and it’s exhausting and no one gets how much effort that takes and I can’t tell them either #like. not gonna unload my trauma on people but if they KNEW they’d get why I don’t always react optimally to things the way they do #aaarffggHhhhHHHhHhhh #also I’m not even enjoying festa I’m not tuned in at ALL and that’s also deeply upsetting but there’s no other way atm #Also. did a thing in PFPT today that. I feel complicated things and I’m just upset about the way my life’s been until now #its making me feel worse than I was expecting #oh AND I was on a trip with friends I’ve had for 16+ years and they all were so happy to be together #felt so connected with each other and it was familiar and safe and lovely they said #meanwhile I cried at 3am in the bathroom because I had never felt more alienated from them ever #I know who /I/ am and what I want and don’t want but the dissonance with the rest of the world….. what the fuck man. What is my place even
