I've been hearing this (or some version of this) as long as I can remember, but it was only today that I knew what it was. I'm so happy I found it, even if I'm like 150 years late to the party.

MAY TROPE MAYHEM Prompt List Text Version:
DAY 14:
PIRATES! AAAAaaaaAR, ME HEARTIES.
Fandoms: Murderbot Diaries, Murderbot TV series, The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon, Our Flag Means Death
Set before Platform Decay
ART reads the full script but I haven't transcribed it all yet, ha ha
*** ***
What is this?, ART asked.
I was too late to throw up a wall. Nothing.
It's code...a story!
I couldn't tell ART to stop reading. I could ask, but even that didn't always stop it.
It's not a story, it's a screenplay. I wasn't sulking. I don't sulk. I told you it was nothing.
***
The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon, episode XXX
Our Flag Means Death, episode XXX
Canon-era Stede Bonnet and Edward Teach appear on the set of Sanctuary Moon.
SCENE: The main stage of the set of Sanctuary Moon. The bridge. Handlers and extras and assistants mill about. The director's chair, labelled, sits empty. STEDE BONNET and EDWARD TEACH appear in the middle; all activity swarms about them in a rainbow blur. A handler approaches.
HANDLER
You the new extras? Take your marks.
STEDE, aside to Ed
This doesn't look like the Republic of Pirates.
ED, looking around, gauging
Well, it's been rebuilt. Reckon if it's been gentrified, the English'll keep clear.
STEDE, focused on the actors as they stride in
Ooh, look at the fine fabrics!
HANDLER
Come on, you two, budge up, over here. Are you sure you're in the right costumes?
CUT TO:
Stede and Ed skulking behind a food truck.
STEDE
I don't know what to do!
ED
We won't be called back on set today, I think. We've got all night to figure out how to get back to our own time.
STEDE
Yeah, but in the meantimeā I can't believe they gave me lines!
ED
You'll be great. Just give it a little more oomph.
STEDE
I'm an actor!
ED
Give it more than that. You are an actor. Now own it. Come on, say it properly. Go.
STEDE
I'm an actor. (clears throat) Wait, I can do it better. I'm an actor!
ED
Oh, boy.
STEDE, posing dramatically
Muse, why have you forsaken me?
ED
C'mon, let's try and find something to eat.
[Once they figure out how to return, Ed pirates a future-outfit for Stede. As they escape, Stede triggers a purple burglar alarm.
"Stay calm," Ed says.
"It'll be okay," Stede says. "You have our word."
This interaction causes a rift in the space-time continuum, which means they'll have to return, and that there will be approximately 253 more episodes].
***
ART was done reading in 3.3 seconds. I wish you'd written it for World Hoppers.
That was the greatest compliment I could've received.
"Maybe I'll write a second one," I mumbled out loud.
We went back to work, planning an extraction of our humans from an unfortunate and annoying situation.
Here it is on AO3!

Stede has one particular preference in the bedroom. Edās about to meet his needs in a different wayā¦
or
Three times Stede pushes everyone away + one time they comfort him + one time Ed really comforts him.

Coming into a fandom late
Coming into a fandom early and watching it become an angry clusterfuck
Being in a dormant fandom that suddenly comes alive again after a new book/movie
Donāt forget about those who come in the midst of a fandom war.Ā
Accuracy at its best
Being in a fandom and not even knowing thereās a war going onā¦
all of this shitā¦lol
When Youāre Not In The Fandom But Youāre Nosy AF
When you get into a fandom only to discover itās dead
This gets better every time I see it.Ā
@fuboos-mess
Being in a dead fandomā¦
Or being in such a tiny fandom that it feels like youre the only one
The accuracy hurts.
Being in a fandom that had a shit ending.
When youāve been fangirling long enough, youāve experienced all of the above.
Being in a fandom meant for kids.
This just gets better..
@mi-kleos
When you realize that joining the fandom has ruined you
Fandom hell in general
Yes.
This^^^ just⦠ALL OF THIS.
Being in so many fandoms that you donāt even know whatās going on
THIS IS THE SKULDUGGERY FUCKING PLEASANT FANDOM IN ONE POST!!
Trying to recruit people to your fandom
Annnnnnndddd itās back
Being in a fandom which has so many antis
Iāve probably reblogged this before, but that was before these great additions.
Being in a fandom that actually works together
Why is this so true? All of it.
being in a fanbase but all your mutuals suddenly turn into Kpop blogs
I always enjoy it when a good post comes around again and has been improved by the reblogs like the years for a fine wine.
Being in a fandom when shit goes down and everyone has different opinions
When you are in a fandom and donāt care for others people opinionā¦..even if they are rightā¦(believe me, I have met several of those)
Being in a fandom you never meant to join
I love this. and itās gotten better
After abandoning a fandom youāre still a little bit emotionally invested inā¦.
All of these are me. Lol
Being in a fandom on Tumblr
And it reached its epic conclusion
I CHOKED ON FUNDIP
HISTORY HAS BEEN ENGRAVED INTO THIS POST
Quietly scribbling away at your fanfic in the background...
when two musicians sing into the same microphone and lean in very close to each other⦠like omg are you guys gonna kiss now to relieve the homoerotic tension?š³
THIS IS NOT ABOUT ONE DIRECTION I DONāT KNOW WHO THIS āHARRYā PERSON IS GO WATCH BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND CLARENCE CLEMONS KISS ON STAGE RIGHT NOW
op is the only valid person iāve ever met. everyone else needs to come to the light
Okay, but this is really important: Bruce Springsteen occupied this really weird place in music history. His songs were all from this pessimistic, nihilistic view of an America that had let him down:
Just like the anti-Vietnam War protest songs that we associate with the 1960s, or the early nihilism that spawned punk music in the 1970s. But he didnāt *sound* like a punk anarchist; he sounded like a country rock singer. When he released Born in the U.S.A. people completely misinterpreted (or possibly ignored) the lyrics in favor of the tone of the music.
Politicians used his music to promote their āMurica Yes! brand, and he had to literally explain that that was not what he was about. Heās over here asking when weāre going to have jobs and heathcare, not stanning the politicians who werenāt helping the people.
It was also kind of a big deal that he had an integrated band, because even as late as the 1980s music was still kind of segregated and MTV was straight up racist. They refused to play and promote black artists and then claimed that were no black artists in the first place. Michael Jacksonās record company had to threaten a boycott of their white artists to get MTV to play his Thriller video.
Plus, the first black/white interracial kiss on TV was in 1968 (OG Star Trek). Also it took us until the 70s to get sympathetic gay characters on screen, and the 90s to get gay characters to kiss onscreen. And all of those firsts were met with outrage.
So keep that in mind when you see Bruce Springsteen not just playing with an interracial band, but engaging in an interracial, gay kiss on stage repeatedly.
Passages from American Popular Music by Larry Starr and Christopher Waterman
I used to think that Bruce and Clarence kissing onstage was exuberance, showmanship, and telling racist homophobes to fuck off. Like, they picked up a certain kind of audience and went āRacist homophobes? Not in our house!ā And started the kissing then but then I actually looked it up and
https://www.gq.com/story/this-fucked-me-up-bruce-springsteen-singing-about-clarence-clemons
It was a story where⦠we remade the city. We remade the city, shaping it into the kind of place where our friendship and our love for one another wouldnāt have been such an exceptional thing. - Bruce Springsteen
It wasnāt about showmanship or rejecting bigots or anything it was just. Damn right that was one of the loves of his life and damn right he was going to kiss him onstage
It gets me a little that Bruce has had a divorce, that heās been married twice, but he loved Clarence for the rest of Clarenceās life and will presumably love him the rest of his own
Clemons said in one interview. āBruce and I looked at each other and didnāt say anything, we just knew. We knew we were the missing links in each otherās lives. He was what Iād been searching for.ā In another version of the story, Clemons says āHe looked at me, and I looked at him, and we fell in love.ā
Iām having some emotions about it!
āHe was elemental in my life,ā Springsteen adds, āand losing him was like losing the rain.ā
Not just! I love you pure and deep and true but! I am going to love you like that in front of the whole damn world!
We have fewer narratives about taking risks and making statements for platonic love rather than romantic and supposedly it would be easier to downplay this onstage than romance and! They refused! They fucking refused! In front of hundreds of thousands of people, over the course of years! In the spotlight, in word and deed, I love you!
God Iām not okay about it
Now Iām mad that this is not among any of the things I was ever told about this artist.
I knew about this in general (& via all those fabulous photos), but this just adds even more beautiful context <3
Just to add to the pile: this was the cover of Springsteenās break-through album Born to Run, in 1975:
I mean, will you LOOK at this:
This was the pic chosen for the album cover from an extensive photoshoot, too. A few others:
Thereās a lot more online if you search. Theyāre all pretty amazing. But the photographer is right, the one chosen for the album cover just pops.
