screenwriters should be sequestered like a jury until their entire show is committed to paper bc I think so often they are swayed by ppl's twitter opinions and lose whatever thread of creative vision & integrity they had. and before u know it netflix are forking out 450 million american dollars to create . the most catastrophically unwatchable dogshit

#the best part#is that putting those tiny toe beans there was entirely intentional#the cat didn't step into soft clay right there#the cat put those prints into the soft clay of the tile before it was fired#the potter chose to fire it anyway#then the tile setter chose to cut it and place it#he didn't have to leave the prints#he could have used a different tile#but he must have liked them too#i just love thinking about the potter and the tile setter who both loved seeing that cat's toe bean prints too

St. Ilya patron saint of casual situationships

Canonized for his martyrdom of being dumped just when he thought his FWB of 6 years might be ready to take the next step. If you ever feel like you might be catching feels for your fuckbuddy, pray to Saint Ilya by saying these words: "Hollander. Hollander."

Inspired by this gifset by @firstprinced , by orthodox christian iconography and the thoughts in my head which, too, keep having a religious experience whenever i think about hockey yaoi (exorcisms welcome).

*did i cover up his nipple on purp-- uhhh have you ever seen a saint with nipples?? yeah, i didn't think so.

Sometimes the best fic you’ve ever written isn’t on ao3. It’s in 50 frenetic discord messages sent over a fifteen minute span where you and your friend yes and each other into a perfect story that will never actually be written.

We've had a family/murder of crows visiting our garden for years now, and this season the chicks are soooo helpless! They just stand around expectantly with their mouths open as the mom crow eats. Which is what inspired this comic! :)

I can't now find where I mentioned it earlier but I wanted to expand on a thought about Black Sails as a tragedy. It's not so much about individual characters reaching particular endings. Rather, I think the central tragedy is that there is this fight - this war against the world, against civilization itself, which is the driver for everything Flint does and arguably the entire plot - that then doesn't take place. The story goes right up to the brink of this conflict, and by the end it's not just Flint raging alone against the world with whatever pirates can be persuaded to follow him, but it's Madi and the slave revolt and an entire people driven by what has been done to them and to their ancestors, it's something so much bigger than the individuals involved, with potentially world-changing consequences, history-changing consequences, an entire overturning of the colonising powers in the Americas.

And therein lies the tragedy, because we know the history, and we know that this story isn't just a Treasure Island prequel, it's interwoven with historical individuals as well and places itself in that context, and invites us to imagine what could have been while at the same time haunted by the spectre of how history actually plays out. The tragedy is that the war never happened. We know from the beginning that the war against civilization could never have been won in this story, but it still invites the imagining - what if, what if?

And so the audience is forced into the position of Silver, who is confronted with this vision of the future so ardently pursued and believed in by Madi and Flint, and cannot imagine it playing out. Silver, because he never believed in this fight to begin with and only knows that he will lose the ones he loves to it; us, because no matter how much we may believe in the cause, we know that they don't win, that there never was a slave uprising and pirate revolt that overturned the entire New World. Silver cannot bring that future about. All he can do is end the story.

Black Sails asks us to imagine, what if the treasure was not just a chest of gold, but an entire possible future that was killed and buried in the ground on a lost and forgotten island?

man, Black Sails is maybe the greatest endorsement of fanfiction as a form. I can't believe such a compelling and moving statement about revolution and betrayal and so-called civilization comes out of a combo RPF/Treasure Island yaoi prequel fic
