Nobody is doing it like pirates of the caribbean was doing it. The first movie spends 20 minutes introducing us to every main character, their thoughts on piracy, and how nuanced and fraught the subject is in port royal, and then proceeds to introduce the most pirate pirate to ever pirate

[aetherixs]

i have never seen a single 'pirates of the caribbean' film so my friend insisted that i watch the first one with her and i'm obsessed.

the villain’s origin story is that he can’t eat apples anymore. every fight scene plays like a slapstick comedy. two key combat sequences end with our sexy leading men getting boinked on the head. the climax is initiated by one ship firing forks at another ship. everyone is unreasonably hot. plot armor made only of the word “parlay”. the Redcoats are more useless than you could possibly imagine. Elizabeth almost drowns, gets held hostage, and then her entire village is destroyed but the worst part of her day is that a man proposed to her. a crew of skeleton pirates do drag to trojan horse their way into the final battle. truly insane stuff can't wait for more.

Looking back on 2020, I think it's hilarious that Wellerman of all shanties is the one that blew up online. It's not a song about life on the high seas or adventuring

It's the "Where the fuck is my delivery" song

Ann Bonny and Mary Read were convicted of piracy and sentenced to death in November 1720 in Jamaica, but their executions were stayed because both pleaded pregnancy, a legal right called "pleading the belly". While Read died in prison in 1721, Bonny likely escaped execution after giving birth and disappeared from records, with theories suggesting her father arranged her release. (Britannica)

My favourite pirates!

This is also basically accurate/verifiable, which is depressingly unusual for a post about Bonny and Read.

I will emphasize that the "theories" about her father having her released are unverified, and we don't even know for certain what her parentage even was (rule one of pirate research: do not take anything stated in A General History of the Pyrates at face value when not corroborated by another source). There is a record of an Ann Bonny who died on Jamaica some years later, which could be her, but since one of the things we pretty definitely know about Ann is that she used aliases, its especially uncertain whether any other documents outside her brief pirating career and trial refer to her or not.

(Between the Woodes Rogers letter declaring the crew pirates, and the trial record, she is alternately referred to as Ann Bonny, Anne Bonny, Ann Bonn, and Ann Fulford)

Life is Strange except they are actual 18th century pirates AU.

You can tell 9 year olds chose those names, but it felt wrong changing them

For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.

Unfortunately you will talk like a tumblr user for your entire life. Sorry.

Unfortunately your kids might also talk like Tumblr users. My daughter said "Get cherished, idiot" to her cat yesterday.

[aromantic-journal]

"everyone should get more aromantic" can appeal to tumblr's sensibilities but I genuinely think everyone should also get more asexual. I don't mean everyone stop having sex, what I mean is

Sex is not essential. You can live without it. Full stop.

Not having sex isn't shameful or a sign of failure. It also doesn't make anyone boring.

You are not entitled to having sex with anybody and nobody is entitled to having sex with you.

Sex is not what makes someone an adult.

Nobody's worth is defined by how much sex they have or don't have.

Sex is not equally important to everyone.

You can have fulfilling and happy relationships without sex.

You should only have sex on your own terms, not because you feel like you owe it to someone, or because you feel like you'd be incomplete without it.

Know your boundaries around sex and be firm about them. Know how to respect other people's boundaries.

The previous point also applies when it comes to discussing sex. If someone doesn't wanna talk about it or hear about it you have to back down.

Anything can be sexual but not everything has to be sexual.
