Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

[meowitsraygun]

I’m gonna start an all girl punk band that sings really offensive songs like, “I don’t know how to tell you you’re bad at oral.”

[meowitsraygun]

Our second song is going to be called “My eyelashes are longer than your dick.”

[greatleapsforward]

id listen to you guys.

[s0med0nkus]

Another song could be “Christ will come before I do.”

"My bra is more supportive than you"

[gffa]

"Yeah, the galaxy is scary and dangerous, but… everywhere we went, even the worst places, there were good people, too." WHAT A GOOD STAR WARS LINE. The galaxy should be a scary and dangerous place, but ultimately about hope and the light that exists in it. Even if it's just a pinprick of light, a single flame against a galaxy of darkness, that goodness matters. That hope in a terrible time and place matters. Skeleton Crew was a series that was very much Goonies In Space and it stuck to that feeling, but it didn't forget that Star Wars is a story about hope and kindness and caring about other people, even when it's not beneficial to you personally. The people who helped those kids, not because they were personally invested in them, but simply because they cared about other people, that is what the underlying message of a Star Wars show should be about. Skeleton Crew understood the Star Wars assignment.

I don't know if this has been pointed out before but I haven't seen anything about it and I only just noticed and I need to talk about it.

So we all know Ed ditches the sadness robe and goes full on emo Blackbeard like back to the BLACK beard - a pre stede, even kinda pre show self. Really, a full 180 when stede abandons him.

But in ep 8 after stede ditches the sadness robe and gets dressed to announce to the crew that Ed is not coming back, he's wearing that same OUTRAGEOUS (affectionate) bright teal silk outfit that he wears in EP 1.

Now, even after Ed joins the crew Stede's outfits are still frilly and ostentatious because he's history's specialest princess, but the colours he wears become increasingly muted and the designs less fruity the more time he spends with Ed.

So my point is, Stede ALSO does a complete 180 when Ed abandons him, as we are shown by his wardrobe choice (the teal silk outfit) which brings us literally back to EP 1 Stede "I've made a terrible mistake I'm not a pirate I'm an idiot" Bonnet.

That's all thanks.

The Will to Act: Chapter 10 is up!

Here’s a little snippet (and please appreciate the cross-fandom joke):

The other ship is nowhere to be found.

“What— How— Where—Where’s The Reprisal?”

The Swede, who is laying nearby leaning against a barrel and picking at his fingers, pipes up and says, “We lost it.”

Stede looks down at him. “You lost…you lost it? What do you mean you lost it?”

He turns back to Olu who nods his head solemnly.

Buttons from above him near the helm says, “Well, what were we supposed to do with two ships, Capt’n? We cahn’t sail em both at once.”

“He’s right, Captain,” adds the Swede.

“I tried sailing two ships at once before.” Pete says. He, Frenchie, and Roach are playing cards on a low table at the center of the deck. “Things got complicated real quick.”

“What else could we have done with it?” Roach asks.

“Burn it? Hide it? Paint the whole thing blue?” Frenchie suggests helpfully.

episode 7 has a missing scene where after they agree to be co-captains and they've had their nightcap ed turns to stede and is like

"lucius told me you did this for me"

and stede is afraid even without fully knowing why, caught out and embarrassed and ready for rejection and ed continues like -

"it was cool. no one's ever planned a thing like that for me. but listen. listen."

and stede is listening, ready, waiting -

"i hate nature. i hate nature so fucking much. plants are fucking diabolical with their roots and vines and snakes that look like vines and god forbid all the fucking insects so listen. listen. don't ever. take me outside again. not on land. we could have had a nap man."

and stede is now trying not to laugh because he is taking this seriously, ed is communicating a strict boundary with him, but his voice is sulky and he's gesticulating and the look on his face -

"right, quite right, it is a bit - undignified -"

"abso-fucking-lutely. totally outside our fucking dignity, to be tromping around like landlubbers."

"but napping, really? i thought you would be looking for an adventure, is all?"

"psh. what's more adventurous than a nap on this fucking couch, mate, on this ship? you ever tried to sit down for ten minutes, get a good nap in? 's like all the problems in the world come rushing in the second you try for a nap."

"you know, i've never considered it in that light. it would be a bit of an adventure, trying to find enough peace and quiet for a nap, wouldn't it?"

"that's what i'm saying!"

and thus many adventures in competitive napping (aka napping together but its not gay its a competition we swear) were had.
