Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I found some of your DC art on pinterest and went to find your tumblr, but I can't find anything? I tried looking through your art log blog and couldn't navigate it so I looked through the tags that seemed correct but still nothing. Was it all deleted off of tumblr? Again sorry if this is a dumb question and me not finding it is user error

not a dumb question at all, thank you for taking the effort to track me down! i have an annoying compulsion to section off all my interests in sideblogs, so you'll find all my dc stuff on @gothamguts and my art tag on there. i hope you enjoy!

John Silver + the Wikipedia page for "John Doe"

[ID: A photoset of screenshots overlaid with snippets from a Wikipedia article about "John Doe".

"John Doe" – Silver with his back to the viewer, face barely visible in profile; "is a multiple-use placeholder name that is used" – Silver with his hands raised in surrender when first found by Gates; "when the true name of a person is unknown / or is being intentionally concealed" – Silver retreating from sparring practice with Flint; "Use of "John Doe" in the sense of an unidentified man (anonymous), includes:" – a close-up of Silver holding the schedule, his face blurred in the background; "Use of John Doe" in the sense of a placeholder, includes:" – Silver as the cook mixing a bowl of glaze; "Use of "John Doe in the sense of an everyman, includes:" – SIlver rallying the crew with a one-two stomp; "Though the rationale behind the choices" – SIlver holding Flint at gunpoint; "is unknown" – a stark profile of Silver telling Madi about the unmaking of Flint; "there are many suggested folk etymologies." – Eleanor's hands holding the Black Spot missive; "such names are often used to refer / to a corpse whose identity is unknown / or cannot be confirmed" – a profile of Silver waiting at the cliffside at the end of the series; "a decapitated and unidentifiable character," – a close-up of a book titled "A General History of the Pyrates".

In all the images, Silver's eyes are either concealed by shadows, or the snippets of the Wikipedia article. Subtle blur and smudging have tampered with the integrity of the images. END ID.]

patron saint (<-?) of liars and thieving little shits

[ID: John Silver from Black Sails backed up against a ship's wall, dressed in his earlier outfit of a blue jacket and white shirt, hands raised in surrender. He's smiling, but with a nervous edge, sweating slightly in anxiety. In a facsimile of a halo, a circle of bullet holes ring his head, cracking the wood of the wall; a couple of the bullet holes are still smoking. In the background, four grey candles burn dirty white flames, and dark ropes curve overhead to frame the composition.

In Silver's right sleeve, four aces peek out from where the cuff has slipped down. His left hand has his pointer and middle finger crossed together. END ID.]
