I'm a traveller, a dreamer of impossible dreams. And determined to find the truth once the impossible has been ruled out. I'm a hunter who'll do anything to protect their family. I'm a protecter, even if the person I'm protecting doesn't know it. And I'm the one who survived the unsurvivable and defeated the darkest enemy. And I can do this all day.

Happy Mishapocalypse anniversary

[minervas-sandwich]

My favorite quotes from the stream (as I was able to jot them down as they were being said)

Don’t cry because it’s over. Cry because it happened.

What is a graveyard if not humanity’s hall of fame?

It’s like I’m fondling the balls of life.

Choose to spend time on what fulfills you, on what makes you happy… Every second is a chance to turn your life around.

When I die, I want to be an empty shell, having given every part of myself to creating.

The worst part of this was when the boiling hor piss shot out onto my foot.

No, that was pain; this is sufferin. (technically from the pee sauna vid but they watched it during the stream it counts)

At the end of the day, you know: pizza’s pizza, piss is piss.

We have experienced something that no human ever has, and that’s incredible.

We’re not just two grown men who drank each other’s piss. We’re two grown men who bathed in each other’s piss.

How you respond to events that are out of your control defines you as a person.

Unus annus dot com: hey hey, wow wow.

I feel like a lot of people will feel lost tomorrow. And that’s okay.

It had to be a piece of us that we put out there… and then let go.

A year is many things to many people. But it is not forever.

“Memento Mori” has two meanings: remember death or remember that you will die, but also remember to live.

“Hello, my name is Sharlene Pike and I am a black transgender person originating from South Africa and working as a receptionist/host. I moved to the United States 4 years ago alone and without any support, as my parents died in my home country when I was 18. Being a transgender black female immigrant places three discrimination barriers and makes it extremely hard to socialize and find a job to live properly. Nevertheless, I tried my best. I had been working at 7 different companies as a receptionist/host/waitress for these four years, but 2 months ago I lost my job. The reasoning I was given - ‘staff reduction due to COVID-19 complications’. I have been unemployed for these 2 months, but the reason I can’t start a new job is not COVID-19. In February, I was diagnosed with stage-3 esophageal cancer. I had no prior knowledge of my diagnosis as this type of cancer can be quite concealed, and I had only two or three weeks of eating discomfort before I had a medical consultation. The company I was working at had a special program to support staff members who need expensive surgeries or therapies, and I believe my diagnosis was the true reason I was reduced, since it happened just after I told my office I might need an extended medical leave. The sum I have spent on the medical procedures only to clarify the future treatment equals my 3 salaries. The sum I’m asking for is actually covering first 6 months of treatment and the cheapest drug - basically simply to have a chance to survive. I have no health insurance and I can’t take a new job because my health condition significantly deteriorated. The thing that I have learnt throughout these months is that it is very hard to get any, even basic medical help if you are transgender. The death rate of the esophageal cancer is about 30%, which is very high, and I ask you to help me to have a chance to survive. I tried to deal with everything without anyone by my side, but current circumstances left me with no choice but to ask you to donate and share my story. Thank you very much.”

Unions are trash. Theyll Destroy a whole company for firing a shitty worker.

[gorgonsach]

unions are the reason you aren’t paid 2.50 an hour with steel beams about to bust ya head open shut up lol

[explorerrowan]

Unions are why you have 5 day, 40 hour full-time work weeks. Unions are why they have to pay you in actual dollars instead of “company credits” that you can only spend at the company-owned stores. Unions are why there are fucking fire exits at your place of work. Unions are why it’s not okay for your supermarket ground beef to be any percentage human.

You think your company pays you out of the goodness of their hearts? Or even out of “market pressure?” The “job market” is a myth perpetuated by the capitalists. Corporations would pay you nothing if they could get away with it. And you argue “oh, but if they paid me nothing I’d just go to another one.” Wrong. Because to maximize profits, they all want to pay you nothing. Corporations exist to maximize profits while reducing risk for investors. It’s part of their entire function to find ways to cut costs as much as possible, and that includes finding ways to pay you nothing.

Unions are your defense against that. You think all a union does is strike? If you pay union dues, a lot of that is spent on lobbyists in various governments reminding your lawmakers that you have rights as a living human being that a corporation should not be able to stomp all over. Unions hire lawyers so that if you’re fired for bullshit reasons, the union can stand up for you against your boss. They’re called unions because workers are uniting to pool resources so that they can stand up to these corporate overlords with more money than God. Unions exist because you might not have the words, resources, or time to fight workplace injustices all by yourself. That’s the whole fucking point.

And if a business shuts down because a union is striking, it’s because the business was abusing people and didn’t deserve to be in business anyway. Don’t make excuses for the corporations. They already have trillions of dollars and a couple million lawyers to do that for themselves. They don’t need your help.

i can’t talk shit about the pirates of the caribbean films as if elizabeth swann becoming pirate king didn’t hand my entire ass to me and make me the gay i am today

[valtsv]

these 2 looks basically defined my sexuality and i’m not afraid to admit it

[valtsv]

things pirates of the caribbean got right:

1. will and elizabeth’s love story

2. elizabeth becoming pirate king

3. avoiding sexualizing elizabeth or the other female pirate characters in the first 3 films by allowing them to wear period-accurate pirate outfits that aren’t tailored to be revealing and impractical for ‘sex appeal’ just because they’re women

4. hans zimmer’s entire score but especially the iconic ‘he’s a pirate’ main theme

[prismatic-bell]

5. When the movie came out, morally-gray characters like Jack were actually not really a thing yet in pop culture, and it’s not Pirates’ fault that there are a ton of stupid shitty copycats out there.

6. I run a corseting panel at cons and literally use Elizabeth’s lace-up scene as a video clip of what historical corseting was actually like, because the only thing they got wrong in this scene is that tightlacing wouldn’t be a thing for about another 200 years (and you couldn’t tightlace with the corset style Elizabeth is wearing anyway). It’s one of the most accurate corseting scenes I’ve ever seen.

7. Will’s hat.

8. That scene with all the pirates on the gallows where that little boy starts singing Hoist the Colours? Yeah, that’s fucking legendary. The rest of AWE was kind of a trash fire, but that scene gave me goosebumps.

9. There’s this great shot in the first one where they really drive home the class differences inherent in this time period by having the governor talking about progress and civilization to Elizabeth in their carriage, and then they cut to a shot outside the carriage where a beggar gets splashed by mud from the wheel. It’s a perfect way to underline that everything is not, in fact, a nice little upper-class fairytale, and to give some weight to Will’s storyline, because he has a lot more in common with that beggar than with the governor.

10. For its time, the CGI was fucking amazing.

11. And let’s not forget the work of the makeup department, which had to actually invent new ways of putting on makeup for this movie.

12. The governor’s death scene. Holy shit.

13. They could have gone with a Jack/Will/Elizabeth love triangle, but they didn’t. There are some hints Jack is in love (or at least in lust) with Elizabeth, but he recognizes that she loves Will, and that’s that.

14. You’ve got to admit that wedding was unique.

[math-is-magic]

15. The introduction of fantasy elements to historical fiction outside of Tolkein-esque fantasy, and how it contributed to and expanded the Fantasy Media boom we’re still enjoying today.

[paddysnuffles]

1. They had a woman of colour play a goddess.

2. They had a woman pirate right in the first film, when the tradition is to only show male ones (hell, the PotC ride at Disney had a wench auction scene until recently). And it was a female pirate of colour at that!

3. Elizabeth may not have known how to fight in the first film, but she wasn’t helpless either. Her first instinct was to fight, but she also had the brains to recognize when it was best to hide instead. Plus when given the chance she stabbed Barbosa that one time.

4. Elizabeth’s lack of fighting ability was not simply because she was a woman, it was clear it was due to her societal circumstances, since we saw other women of different socioeconomic backgrounds being able to fight (and when given the opportunity to learn Elizabeth took to fighting like a duck on water).

5. The Hoist the Colours scene where we see pirates of multiple ethnicities and their varying flags, reminding us that pirates came in all shapes and sizes and weren’t just white men.

6. One of the Pirate Lords being yet ANOTHER woman of colour. She may not have had much of a speaking role if memory serves, but even her presence is already a big deal.

7. The pirates accepting their King is a woman without much fuss.

[chubbyooo]

Pirates is amazing I will not here a bad word

Davy Jones CGI is legendary and a ton better than some of the stuff done today 😄

[the-unnecessary-commentary]

I’m pretty sure that female Chinese pirate was a nod to a real, documented female pirate king who was Chinese and had a whole fleet of ships at her disposal but I can’t remember her name rn

[kintatsujo]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ching_Shih

[real-jaune-isms]

My favorite part about the Bretheren Court voting wasn’t that they were against Elizabeth for becoming King as a woman and newcomer. They were pissed at Jack for being a chaotic neutral who broke the decades long tradition of an egotistical stalemate by voting for someone besides himself.

Also, the deleted scenes from Black Pearl and At World’s End that divulge more of Jack’s troubled past, like how he was branded as a pirate by the East Indian Trading Company because he stole a ship full of slaves and freed them.

[ashes-and-ashes]

Sirius comes back covered in blood.

His whole body aches, sharp pains shooting through his side as he fumbles with the key and the lock. The night air is cool against his skin, the stars seeming so very bright as he cracks the front door open and slips in, locking it carefully behind him.

He’s trying to be as quiet as possible but even he can’t stop the small groan that escapes his mouth as he toes off his shoes, tries to remove his jacket and then thinks better of it. The kitchen is just down the hall and he head over, careful not to let any of the blood drop to the floor.

He finds a small dish towel, holds it under the faucet and turns it on, letting the water seep through his fingers and down the drain. It stings the cuts on his hands but he ignores it; he’s been through worse and right now he’s worried that he might have bled through his shirt.

With steady hands Sirius cuts the water off, almost collapsing at the kitchen table. There’s a plate of cold food lying there - leftover Indian it looks like, and Sirius digs in gratefully.

By the time he’s finished his food it’s almost 3 in the morning, the blood long since dried on his back. Sirius wants to close his eyes and fall asleep here, on the table but James and Lily thought he had come home 4 hours ago when his official shift ended. He grits his teeth, forcing himself to his feet and brings the dish over to the sink.

He’s putting the cutlery away when the lights cut on suddenly. Sirius jumps, his hand automatically going to his wand at his side, even as his ribs screamed at the motion.

“Sirius?” James blinks up at him blearily. His hair is messy as always, all over his face, in pajama pants and a ratty t-shirt. “What are you doing?”

“Eating,” Sirius says. Oh shit.

James frowns, eyes taking in the dishes and the cutlery and the eaten take-out food. “Yeah, we left some for you for after your shift. That was hours ago, though? Weren’t you back at eleven? Shifts are only four hours.”

Sirius swallows, hard, mind desperately racing as he struggled to come up with an excuse. “I was...at Remus’,” he says, keeping his voice as smooth as possible.

“Sirius,” James’ voice is gentle. “Remus won’t be back for another month or so.”

“I know.” Sirius closes his eyes against the sharp pain in his chest, the echoing reminder that Remus was gone. “I just...his stuff...”

“You’re lying,” James says quietly. His eyes are steely, arms folded across his chest. “I can tell. You always play with your hair when you lie.”

Sirius freezes - his hands are in his hair, raking anxiously through the curls. There’s bits of dried blood tangled up the the strands and he frowns at the crimson caught underneath his fingernails.

James’ eyes go right to it.

“Shit,” Sirius says as James’ eyes snap around the kitchen; the small streak of blood on the counter, on the glass, in Sirius’ hair and on his jacket and vivid red where he had missed a spot on his neck. His eyes finally settle on Sirius’ chest, right through the leather and the cotton as if he could see the gaping wound on his rib.

He can practically hear the betrayal in James’ voice when he finally speaks. “You’re taking my shifts again.”

Sirius doesn’t bother to deny it. He slumps back against the table, stifling a groan at the pain in his ribs. James is at his side in an instant, arms wrapped firmly around Sirius’ shoulders as he eases him into a chair.

The gentleness of his grip contrasts with the burning anger in James’ eyes. “I told you not to. Jesus fuck, Sirius, I told you not to!”

Sirius is too tired to muster up a response. He just sits there, his eyes half closed, pain shooting through his side as James slowly peels the leather from his skin.

“Fuck,” James breathes, as Sirius’ shirt comes and cold air washes over his torso. “What the fuck was this?”

Sirius shurgs with a nonchalance he didn’t feel. “Death Eater. Some sort of hex, probably. I think it’s burned.”

“You think?” James lets out a low laugh. “The skin’s gone black around the edges, Sirius.”

“Oh.”

James is pissed. Sirius can see it; the set of his shoulders, the burn of his eyes, the way his fingers clenched on the edge of the table as he picked up his wand. “I told you,” he grits out - Sirus winces at the cold press of wood against his wound. “I’m a part of the Order as well.”

“Never said you weren’t,” Sirius grits out; the pain is getting worse now, James’ wand a line of cold fire on his flesh.

“Then let me do my damn job.” James’ face is grim. “How did you even trick me like that - I got the shift schedule - “ His eyes widened. “No. You gave me the shift schedule. You changed the shift times.”

When Sirius doesn’t reply James throws his hands up into the air. “Bastard. You lied.”

If Sirius wasn’t so tired he would have denied it, come up with another excuse. But he’s sleepy and exhausted and so, so cold, James’ voice like metal against stone in his ear.

“Can it James,” he mutters; James looks like he was slapped. “Just - just shut up alright? I’m fine - it doesn’t matter anyways. I’m replaceable.”

James’ hands go white where he gripped onto the table, the bite of his fingers curling into the hard wood. “No you fucking aren’t. Sirius, what the hell are you doing? You’re going to get yourself killed!”

“I’m fine!”

James shakes his head. “Bullshit. You’re hurt and exhausted and taking two shifts at once - “

“Three,” Sirius says softly.

James stares at him. “Say that one more fucking time.”

“I’m not going to let Lily out there am I?”

“You,” James grits out, “Are an idiot. An absolute idiot. You have got to be fucking joking me.”

Sirius just lets his head fall back to rest against his chair, rubbing a weary hand over his face.

“Asshole,” James hisses, with soft venom that Sirius has never heard before. “You bastard. How dare you - this is my fight too - “

“There’s plenty of Death Eaters to go around,” Sirius mumbles; he’s staring up into the brightness of the ceiling lights, head pounding with every cutting word of James’.

“That’s not the fucking point.” James slams his hand on the table; the echoing sound makes Sirius jump. “How dare you. How dare you lie to me, right to my face. I told you - I told you to let me handle this and you went behind my fucking back.”

“Yeah,” Sirius says, his temper flaring. “Yeah, I did. And you know what? I’d do it again? I’d do it all again beside I am keeping you safe. I am making sure that Harry grows up with a father, and doesn’t have a shitty childhood like I did!”

“That’s not the fucking point!” James throws his arms out. He was more angry than Sirius has ever seen him, eyes blazing with rage. “Jesus Sirius - you think I’d want to be saved if it means you’d die?”

“You think I would want to live knowing that I could have saved you?”

James shakes his head, a mocking smile twisting into his lips. “What does Remus think about this?”

The words are like a bucket of icy water to Sirius’ face. He doesn’t realize he’s on his feet until he feels the blood flowing from his side and knows he’s bleeding again. “You know what? We both agreed, actually, before he left. That Harry was our priority, and that if it came down to it, we’d sacrifice each other to save him.”

James looks like he’d been slapped, a mixture of gratitude and relief and sorrow dancing over his face. He swallowed, hard, eyes shining with unshed tears. “Thank you,” he says hoarsely. “But not me. Don’t die for me. I don’t want you to. Sirius - you’re my brother. You can’t - “

“What would you rather have,” Sirius says softly. “Me? Or Harry and Lily, that perfect life you always dreamed of?”

James shakes his head, his face twisted. “Don’t. Don’t make me choose like that. I - I can’t - “

Sirius just offers him a crooked smile. “Don’t worry,” he says. “I chose for you.”

HI DON’T LEAVE THIS IN THE NOTES THAT’S ACTUALLY BRILLIANT

[jilylicious]

Ron and Harry brotp headcanons please

brothers before anything else. so like brothers they fight, they get jealous of each other and don’t know how to communicate properly.

they do love each other to death though, no offense to hermione obviously but like, if hermione ever broke ronald’s heart, she knows harry would never talk to her again.

harry has thanked hagrid on several occasions after he became a full-fledged adult for not telling him where the Platform 9 ¾. there was two wondrous moments in his life: 1. obviously evading death twice and 2. running into weasleys on his first year. (alright three hermione, i am giving a speech at your wedding. must you correct me at this very second? and yes fourth was you walking in the car. can i please, please continue?)

when no one knows where to find harry after the war, it’s always ron who manages to find him. he says it’s now a special power after he found them in the forest that day and manages to get a laugh out of harry every time. it’s the same the other way around. when ron needs to take a break from the burrow, harry is the one who brings him back. they always bring each other back whether it’s during a war or it’s during a tournament no one wanted to be a part of. they always bring each other back.

they both know ron leaving them at the forest left a mark on both of them but they also know no one else would have been able to get harry out of the water when ron came back because only he would have dared jump in that water after harry. no one else is that batshit crazy or as hermione puts it “no one loves harry the way ron does”, ginny nods in approval. “he is your wheezy after all,” she says with a smirk. dobby’s memory looms over them for a minute before they all laugh.

on a happier note, they are the only ones who laugh at their dad jokes. their kids and wives all hate them but harry cracks up every time ron does a dad joke and vice versa, it encourages them to do even worse.

they both need each others help every.single.time. they need to buy a present for their wives and ginny and hermione know who picked the gift but they stay silent.

molly doesn’t differentiate between them, at least that’s what she says, but still she favours harry when they are both in trouble and ron has come to terms with it. he knows now that this doesn’t mean she loves him more, it just means that molly will never be over harry’s childhood

ron figures he could have never liked anyone ginny got married to so it was lucky she was with harry and harry knows it’s lucky they are friends because ron would have despised him otherwise

since september 1, 1991 they have been unbreakable. even the strongest of relationships have problems along the road but they heal over time as everything does. if you asked anyone around them how they would describe harry and ron’s relationship you wouldn’t get anything less than brothers. you might even get some who don’t know how to explain it but everyone knows no one could have handled being the chosen one’s best friend better and they know harry wouldn’t have it any other way. every single step he has taken in his life, ron was there. this is not to say hermione wasn’t there but harry was taken in by the weasleys and being a part of them in a way no one else is made their relationship stronger than any friendship anyone has come across. minerva says their friendship could only be rivaled by the friendship of james potter and sirius black and you know what? she’s not wrong.
