Absolutely love lesbians and hate rich assholes. I don't usually wish death on anyone, but I can make an exception for corrupt and transphobic billionaires.

"Hey, Skiff?"
It was early in the nightfall, a tranquil summer one that was just right for a little stargazing. Watching the luminaries while out on the sea could never feel better than it was when Skiff took you, slightly away from the harbour, just out of the noise of the docks, into the serene, calm sea that this night had to offer. You lay back, hands crossed over your chest, observing the small dots of light that peckered the clear night sky.
"Since we are out here alone.... I am curious. You know, when I look at the stars, I always think of my biggest dreams. What about you, Skiff? You never told me what your biggest dream was..."
Your friend made a humming noise, thinking for a little before giving you a reply. It was quite hard for him to tell; after all, he never really thought much about it. He loved what he did, and dreaming for more wasn't his thing. Yet, when you asked, he seemed to remember something.
"Skiff wants... oh. Skiff hasn't thought of that. Hm... No. No, that's a lie. Skiff has sometimes dreamed of something. But... it is... a lot. Skiff can't say... You'll think Skiff is ungrateful and he isn't! Skiff loves to be a railboat. To be on the shore and sea but..."
"But?"
"But Skiff heard people talk about pirates once! And how dreadfully terrifying they were on the big ships that kept them safe... and... And Skiff dreamed of that! Skiff dreamed of being a big great ship that can protect everyone and take them to see the vast sea on lots of adventures!"
You chuckled, standing up, no longer looking at the stars but checking on Skiff, who was trying to peek up at you.
"Oh Skiff... but, even now... How can you say I'd think you're ungrateful? All you want is to make others happy!"
Your boat buddy squeaked, replying in a very enthusiastic tone. Vibrant, eager, just as you would expect from a tiny boat with big dreams.
"But it would also make Skiff happy! Skiff would see Mermaids! And treasure... but... Skiff heard there'd be bad, bad quarrels and other ships would come and throw these heavy iron balls and hurt you. My pretty hull would be cracked and... and I'd risk hurting everyone! I'd sink and... and Skiff- no. No. This is why Skiff stopped dreaming about that. Too dangerous... Being a big ship is dangerous."
The silence fell. Skiff was right, and you weren't sure what else to tell Skiff. There were big boats now too. Big ships that took people on cruises but... You couldn't see your Skiff friend anywhere else but here.
With the friends at the docks.
"So... what is your dream now, Skiff?"
Skiff was quiet, unlike his usual vibrance, and yet, all of a sudden, a spark returned to his voice and he replied excitedly.
"Oh, Skiff knows. The biggest dream Skiff has is to be a big big ship but for the tiny little people who want to see the harbour!"
NOTE: I am unhinged, this is completely random and ooc, but it was for the giggles. LMAO

I think that the Hamilton musical is objectively the funniest thing that could happen to that man's memory. Imagine dying of a gunshot wound infection in 1804 and learning from the afterlife that tweenage girls in 2017 are drawing thousands upon thousands of images of you making out with your fellow congressmen because someone wrote a 2-hour rap opera about you. I like to imagine that Hamilton found a monkey's paw and wished to leave a legacy, and this is what it did to him.
seeing their former possessions now hung up for all to stare at and either appreciating it or being annoyed
telling the true story about historic events they witnessed to their mortal partner while looking at paintings of it
taking pictures in front of their old portraits and going semi-viral when the pictures get uploaded and the striking similarities are noted
having qualifications as a historian and going to assist archeologists, being very amused by their theories but sadly unable to provide proof for any claims they could make to clear it up
