Plunder That Booty by Silikat

A pirate dating sim filled with magic, adventure, and swashbuckling singles!

The year is 1669 - the place, La Bucca, a bustling pirate port out west in the Atabean. Here, gods rule the land and monsters rule the seas; pirates plunder and reap their riches from the colonists who dare to claim this place for their own, while the native Rahuri people continue their years-long campaign for their freedom from oppression. It is a land of magic, of action, of adventure on the high seas. But here, in the waning days of the year, the island is poised for a celebration. The new year celebration is three days away. And you, a lowly pirate from one of the many crews that call La Bucca home, are determined to get a date. Hey, stranger things have happened!

Hey, remember that game I've been working on? Well, I finally released it! Here it is!

there are two wolves inside me. one wants to write and the other wants to nap. they’re both in a cage called My Job.

[rhapsoteas]

it’s your duty to draw that character fatter than in canon

[scribeherself]

There is no drug on earth that can replicate the absolute euphoria of hitting a writing flow state at 2:00 AM. You aren’t even typing anymore. You are a vessel. You are a channel for the gods. The characters are speaking directly into your brain and you’re just the stenographer trying to keep up. You feel like you could fight a bear. You feel like you invented the alphabet

i've literally never liked the fucking meerkats i remember seeing the very first ad and being like 'what a terrible unfunny pun' but everyone else loved the meerkat so now i see the fucking meerkats all the time. and they are not even gay.

[penny-anna]

#i like meerkats the animal#*the* meerkats? they aren't funny and they aren't even gay

they aren't funny and they aren't even gay

[penny-anna]

in case anyone was not aware, officially canonically within the meerkat lore, Aleksandr is the 'founder and CEO of compare the meerkat' and Sergei is his head of IT. yes the ad campaign does kind of frame them as married but they are not actually explicitly a couple bcos that would alienate a big chunk of the target audience and the meerkats exist, fundamentally, to sell insurance.

in short: absurd as it sounds, i think the meerkats are legitimately a case of queerbaiting.

There's this notion that being able to stream professional theater shows will hurt the industry, because people won't go to the effort to support live theater anymore, and this is based on the anxieties of the film industry, but live theater isn't a film. The better analogy is sports.

Look me dead in the eye and tell me that people being able to sit at home and watch The Game -- the fandom that encourages, the ongoing investment over the years, the memories and traditions of Watching the Game with family and friends -- harms the ticket sales of real live go-to-the-stadium sports. Of course it doesn't. Of course all that *is the reason* that people care so much about sports they'll invest a small fortune on not only tickets but often travel costs to be part of it all in person. And the people who aren't doing that *can't* do that and weren't going to regardless, but their at-home participation and investment still boosts the profile of pro and NCAA sports as cultural institutions.

Maybe it's possible to fall in love with film and be immune to the romance of Going to the Cinema such that you'll just freely choose the same film in the comfort of your living room. It's not possible to fall in love with something that happens live and not want to be there to experience it. The consequences of procasts, for theater just like for sports, can only be A) more people motivated to make live theater part of their worlds, aka more money, when theaters everywhere could desperately use more money, or B) more love. Which is worth arguing for because reasons I assume I don't have to defend.

I don't know a good term for it, but there's a certain quality a work of fiction can have or fail to have, where, as a reader, you have some faith that the themes present in the work are there because the author knowingly put them there. That the curtains are not just blue, that you're reading something that has been written with intent. You can, of course, still do a death-of-the-author read on that kind of work, and no work only contains that which the author intends. But there are some works in which you look at even the most surface-level thematic content and wonder 'are... are you doing that on purpose? It kind of doesn't seem like you're doing that on purpose. I hope you're not', and it's very hard to express the difference between that kind of thing and an author who is clearly very intentionally exploring something a little uncomfortable.

being a 60s Dr Who fan is so hard. like hello I'm writing a fanfiction to explore this character's trauma. Yeah his trauma from when he was imprisoned on Mechanus. From when he was imprisoned on Mechanus by the Mechanoids. Stop laughing at him.

The Human’s Guide to Sixam (wip)

Pages from an incomplete project I started called “ The Human’s Guide to Sixam”. It was a project that focused on all the life and societies on Sixam based on canon and my head canons. ( Also I spelt Emporer Xizzle’s name wrong I can’t spell his name for the life of me smh).
