consider: the entire show is silver just sitting down to tell the whole story of black sails. and flints season 1 outfits are especially striking, so much so that i cant help but imagine silver describing them a la my immortal:

Captain Flint was a pirate (in case you couldn’t tell) and he wore mostly black. He liked black clothes because they were dark and he didn’t give a fuck what anyone thought. For example that day he was wearing a long black coat with silver buttons all down the front, over a dark faded burgundy shirt that was open a little at the chest. He was wearing tight black trousers and tall black leather boots. Around his waist was a huge, gay black leather belt covered in rows of silver studs, and there was a sword stuck through it with a fancy handle. His coat went almost all the way down to his boots and blew dramatically behind him in the wind. His hair was in a bun and he had the cuntiest mustache and he looked very queer and pissed off.

the outfit in question, lol:

Okay, I'll go and visit your doll collecting friend IF you can promise me that the dolls aren't secretly people. Don't laugh, I'm not being ridiculous. This is the fourth friend with dolls we've visited and they always turn out to be people. I'm not exaggerating! There was the little kid who shrunk people down and put them in her dollhouse, there was the old woman with the porcelain doll collection that were all haunted with the spirits of dead people, there was your cousin whose action figures came to life -- yes that last one counts! I don't care if the action figures weren't previously human, coming to life as thinking feeling beings makes them people!

Honestly this is getting to be a bit much. If the dolls are gonna be people again, tell me. I'm starting to think I'm not ready for this level of friend visitation commitment. I'm beginning to regret starting to date you so soon after my previous boyfriend mysteriously disappeared on the very day that you started your funko pop collection.

The Stranger

[tumbleofdorks]

Just saw the Hadestown proshot and first, it was phenomenal. Second, not seeing nearly enough talk about Patrick's performance in The Boot.

I was fortunate enough to see a production on stage first and Hades is usually played with a sort of strong, straight-backed, sturdy posturing. Then this is played for the reversal in his dance with Persephone as he becomes loose in his movements, soft in his gestures. It's a great performance, but both would be so hard to perform with any confidence or grace in a boot.

So Page didn't try to copy his old style of playing the role! He adapted the whole performance to utilize the boot and the cane. His movements became more serpentine to avoid pressure on his leg, and he skulked about the stage, using the cane (with a dog head handle, fantastic detail) both for stability and as a way to gesture and bring emphasis to his movements. He does not appear infirm, instead he appears partially robotic, a cold man becoming something less "human" over the years. It made him seem far MORE threatening in some scenes I would argue, as it changed his whole body language into something strange and unfamiliar, the position of the boot holding his leg in a way that made me think of werewolves.

And then, in the emotional turn, instead of making him a graceful dancer, he does suddenly look more infirm. This isn't the King of Iron, this is an old man that has worked himself so hard for so long, to the point of self-destruction, trying to protect things he was losing in the process. He is hurt, he isn't as fast as he once was, but he tries to match his wife's dance, hobbling through the steps. She tearfully holds his hand and dances around him, goes slow, so happy to be able to connect with him again, to love each other again. She accommodates his limitations, it doesn't matter that he's not what he once was, they can be something new together.

I just adored this production, this different way of portraying the character. The flexibility of the production to make sure Page could be in it if he wanted is admirable and I'm so happy they did. I could gush for hours about how well done this was.

Essos Infographic: Dothraki

"The Dothraki people are a culture of nomadic warriors in Essos who range across the vast grasslands of the Dothraki seain hordes known as khalasars. People of the Seven Kingdoms and the Free Citiesalso refer to the Dothraki as horselords.

Dothraki typically have copper-toned skin, black hair, and black, almond-shaped eyes.Dothraki men wear their hair in long braids, oiled or greased with fat from the rendering pits.Dothraki warriors carry small bells in their braids, which ring softly when they move. They are only allowed to braid their hair after they have won a victory. A bell is added to their braid after each victory; The braid is only cut when a Dothraki warrior is defeated in battle, an act through which he lets the world know his shame. Only few men die with their braids never having been cut off.Men further might wear metal rings bound in their mustachios.

Both men and women might wear painted leather vests over bare chests and horsehair leggings cinched by bronzemedallion belts, although wealthier Dothraki might also have silver and golden medallions on their belts. Others might wear sandsilk trousers. For footwear Dothraki wear leather boots, leather sandals which lace up to the knee, or sandals of woven grass." - A Wiki of Ice and Fire (https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Dothraki)

As the camera pulls in on his face, the jig becomes increasingly wild and frenzied. End description.]
