"Rings, and other Middle Earth things."

Helloooo sailorrrr! I'm a Tolkien lover and this is a melting-pot of a blog. 18+ and bi; and that's really all you need to know about me.

Not by any means an original thought but Kirk abandoning every person he's ever faintly loved or had feelings for for his career and his mission then repeatedly being like "it doesn't matter just fire me strip me of my command if I lose Spock I'll lose literally everything including my soul don't even worry about it" is immensely important to me

A lot has already been said about how Teach manages to beat Rodgers during the keelhauling, but what I noticed this rewatch is that Jack Rackham also manages to beat him.

After Teach survives the first go around the ship, Rodgers says "again" quietly, with self assurance. He's disappointed that teach survived one go, but is clearly not surprised, sending a man under the ship a second time is clearly not uncharted territory for him.

And as he orders this he glances around the ship and is caught and pauses when he sees Jack's look.

This look:

And what catches him completely off guard is that there is no fear here. Jack has clearly figured out what the plan is, he almost certainly knows he is next, as he keeps almost this exact look when he is taken after Teach is assumed dead.

What this look is , is disgust. Jack Rackham, Pirate Captain and enemy to all mankind, is looking down on Woodes Rodger, because this show of force is so grotesque. Rackham meets Rodger's eyes, doesn't break away, and this is what rattles him.

The next time Rodger's orders "again", he shouts it, because being judged by Rackham is getting to him, and this fear is what makes him shoot Blackbeard after the third go. Blackbeard endures this torture and that is impressive to the point of being awe inspiring yes, but it is Rodger's inability to weather the judgement and disdain of a pirate that makes him lose.

On Saturday I said to my partner, as I have said for months, "A ten thousand dollar a year raise would solve so many of my problems."

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

May all of you get the $10K raise your soul has yearned for. And whatever level of sex you can be satisfied with for $200.

me when i like the 2-3h movie: directors should never have to compromise their vision to appeal to something as fickle as people's "patience". anyone complaining about the movie's length is simply a tiktok-addicted philistine.

me when i don't like the 2-3h movie: once i become god emperor of earth anyone trying to make a movie longer than 90 minutes will be shot.

hearing anything about the nolan odyssey is so funny. it's like "they cut the extremely important and infamous nobody scene" "the cyclops is a giant puppet that they put in an actual historical cave + gave circe animatronics for her pig transformation instead of cgi" "they dumped plastic skeletons in an environmentally protected location they were not supposed to be in" "they recreated ancient greek instruments in order to have an accurate score" "all of odysseus's agency is basically gone" "anne hathaway actually learned how to weave ancient looms" "the women in this movie are treated like shit" "they actually buried actors alive to get those underworld shots" "did you see what the fuck zendaya was fucking wearing holy shit you can't DO THAT, MA'AM" "what do you mean there was a legitimate epic the musical reference" "NOT A SINGLE FUCKING GREEK WAS CAST IN THIS MOVIE"

like did nolan have two guys standing at his side at all times whispering ideas in his ear and one told the truth and the other told lies and they didnt tell him which was which until they wrapped production cause

"warm, shallow seas" is one of the most beautiful phrases in paleontology and it's everywhere... these mollusks lived in warm, shallow seas... scientists think that photosynthetic life evolved in warm, shallow seas... in that era the Earth was covered by warm, shallow seas...

I wish I was resting by an antediluvian warm, shallow sea
