If someone just kissed Izzy ONCE when he does that creep move where he angrily pulls someone close and stares at their lips, I think a demon would fly out of his mouth and the curse would finally be broken.
“Lucius should do it” this “Olu should do it” that. well I think Buttons should do it
Erik: I am deeply irreparably broken I am fucked up and evil I am going to kill you and your entire family don’t test me. Anyway I think equal rights would be nice
Charles: I am just a nice polite little British man. Look at me in my sweater vest. I have done nothing wrong, ever, in my life. Simply don’t consider the ethical implications of mind control and we’ll get along swimmingly
Erik, to Charles: my old friend. It’s been too long since I’ve seen you. How terrible that our fates can’t allow us to be together. I’m gonna throw a car at you now
Charles, deflecting the car: I love you. I wish you could find peace, someday, but we both know that won’t happen. I’ve known you so long; this always ends the same. I also hope you die in prison

Very excited because I just reached the part in my pirate history book about Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet (if you didn’t know, Our Flag Means Death is loosely based on real events). So here are some comparisons between truth and fiction that I’ve noticed so far:
True:The episode title “Discomfort in a Married State” is almost a verbatim quote from one of Stede’s friends who knew him before he became a pirate, alluding to the fact that he was gay.
Omitted:In addition to his married life woes, Stede also had well-documented mental health issues, including severe depression, which are mostly attributed to the death of his and Mary’s first child.
True: He did have a full library in his cabin.
True:He did walk around his ship in silk dressing gowns.
True: Stede did pay his crew a cash salary, rather than a share, which was extremely unusual. He knew that little about the business.
Omitted: A lot of fucked up slavery shit. Stede was from a family of plantation owners and was raised by and owned a whole bunch of slaves. Blackbeard also had a spotty history when he captured slave ships, sometimes absorbing them into his crew, sometimes setting them loose, and sometimes leaving them to be sold by merchants.
True:Stede did receive a life-threatening injury from the Spanish navy.
Changed: He wasn’t tricked into going aboard their ship, and the truth is actually way more insane/embarrassing. He was such a poor captain that he couldn’t tell the difference between a merchant ship and a fucking Spanish war ship. So he engaged a Spanish war ship in battle. Half his crew died, and he nearly did as well.
True: Stede and Blackbeard did first meet as Stede was recovering from his injury.
Changed: Instead of rescuing Stede, Blackbeard was granted command of Stede’s ship by his mentor and OG of the Republic of Pirates, Benjamin Hornigold. Stede kept his space in the captain’s cabin while he recovered.
True:Blackbeard was reportedly very kind to Stede, who he saw as mentally and physically delicate. He encouraged him to rest in his cabin while Blackbeard took care of the pirating stuff.
False: There’s no way Blackbeard was weary of his own legend by the time they met. Stede’s ship was actually his first independent command, out of the shadow of his mentor, Hornigold. The whole smoking head thing? He first did that on Stede’s ship. In fact, the legend of Blackbeard was first and primarily built on the deck of Stede’s ship. They got their start in pirating together.
after stede and edward stop fighting eds gonna be like “fuck.. sorry about all your books..” and stedes gonna be like “oh no matter i have secondary copies of every one” then he’s gonna open another secret passageway and lucius is gonna be in there eating paper
you can never go home because you fell asleep for a thousand years and when you woke up and returned there, your society had changed, your house had fallen and all of your friends were dead. you can never go home because you made a choice and were shattered into pieces and your home was destroyed in your wake. you can never go home because someone took you and changed you against your will and although your home is the same, the person who belonged there is dead. you can never go home because you committed a crime and your family expelled you and even as they extend a hand of reconciliation, you will never forgive them. you can never go home because your home was a person and someone murdered her and now you drift and grieve to the point of insanity. you can never go home because you never knew your sister but she gave you every opportunity you have and now she’s dead and your parents see nothing but her in your eyes.
you all gotta stop saying ed/stede is a slowburn for real….in episode 5 stede says ed has been aboard the revenge for a few days. in episode 6 izzy says it’s been 2 weeks. in episode 8 it’s the next full moon after the one in episode 4. there is literally a month between ed and stede meeting and them being captured by the navy. i’m sorry to disappoint the 300k fic fans in the room but “slow burn” is not even in these two’s dictionary!!! they fell in love so fast the fucking moon didnt even have time to complete one cycle!!! they couldn’t pretend to not be in love with each other if they tried!!!!! this is not a slow burn it’s a fucking flash fire!!!!!!
too many nepotism babies in the music industry these days. i wish artists could still get popular the old fashioned way (bullying pete wentz on livejournal)
had a dream that the cool new trend was to drink water but only while standing in doorways because that made the water “more liminal” which was a good thing for unclear reasons
The inherent homoeroticism of killing your enemy and immediately regretting it
It’s about rage, it’s about obsession, it’s about making that two-person war your entire raison d’être. It’s about loving and mistaking it for hatred and loving and loving and loving to the point of destruction. His or yours, it doesn’t matter. And you think seeing him dead at your feet will make you feel better, but all you feel is a whole lot of nothing.

as much as i want it to be true, i know that ronan doesn’t have ear piercings bc if he did gansey would always be like:
the light glinted off ronan’s silver hoops as he turned his head away. once out of ronan’s eyesight, gansey brought his hand to his earlobe in a private gesture. he could hear helen’s voice telling him not to get a piercing. “they’re so late-2000s gauche. you would look even more like a forgotten member of vampire weekend.” gansey didn’t know what she was referencing, but he understood that she meant he couldn’t pull it off. besides an earring didn’t complement his polo shirts very well. “maybe blue would like it?” he thought while reaching for a mint leaf. as he put the leaf to his mouth he knew she would immediately ask if he got his ear pierced because of ronan. adam would smirk at the question. ronan would ignore both of them, stare at it, and then tell gansey that it was the gay ear. he sighed and chewed the mint leaf.
Another piece for the @podcastbigbang 2021. This one is for @demonic-kitkats fanfic “Funzo 2: It’s Back and It’s Personal”. Go check it out here. It’s a lot of fun to read!
[Image ID. A digital drawing featuring Eiffel, Jacobi, Minkowski and Lovelace from Wolf359. The four of them are seated on the floor of a room in space station, surrounding the board of a game of Funzo, which has been set up on the ground, a few cards stacked on top.
Jacobi, a man with brown skin, shaggy brown hair and scars along the side of his face is sitting cross-legged on the left side of the board, reaching his hand toward the center of it. He is wearing a grey jacket, black pants and a hearing aid on one of his ears. To his right sits Eiffel, who is also sitting with his legs crossed underneath him, speaking and gesturing to Minkowski. Eiffel has brown skin and long wavy brown hair tied in a short ponytail. He is wearing a grey t-shirt and black pants.
Minkowski, a white woman with reddish brown hair, is smiling in Eiffel’s direction. She is sitting with one of her legs drawn up and the other crossed underneath. One of her arms rests on her knee and the other hand on her calf. She is dressed in an orange jumpsuit with the sleeves rolled up. To her right, and with her back to the viewer, sits Lovelace. She is leaning back on one of her arms, while on her other hand she holds a handful of playing cards. Lovelace is a black woman who is wearing the same jumpsuit as Minkowski, but she has taken the top half off and tied it around her waist. Underneath she is wearing a sleeveless grey shirt. Her hair is dark and curly, the left side of it shaved, and the rest tied back in a ponytail.
The box of the game they are playing lies on the ground next to Lovelace, a few stacks of cards and an instruction manual scattered in and around it. In the background, a closed metal door is set into the back wall, with an electric panel beside it. To the right, the side of a metal desk and a couple of holographic screens are visible. End ID. ]
[Image Description: a drawing of jacobi and maxwell from wolf 359. they are both wearing creamsicle orange jumpsuits. jacobi is a thin man with tanned skin gauges and short brown hair. maxwell is a thin brown woman with long curly dyed blonde hair and glasses. they are fistbumping. End Description]
I just had. a very specific image of this scene in my head
[ID: a digital comic of Daniel Jacobi from Wolf 359. The comic has three panels of the same size. All panels show Jacobi standing in front of a heavy metal door. Jacobi has light skin, short, black hair, thick eyebrows and a scar over his nose and on his forehead. He’s wearing a red button-up shirt.
In the first panel he’s smiling confidently with his eyes closed and one hand raised in a knocking knocking gesture. He says “But this door is completely secure.” Beside his hand the words “tap tap tap” are written in brackets to show the knocking sound.
In the second panel he is in the exact same position and has the same expression on his face. He says “See?”.
In the last panel his eyes are open wide and he is still smiling but looks highly concerned. In big, white, all caps letters the word “Knock” is written three times on the right side of his head. The whole comic is framed in black. End ID]
that post that’s like everyone in w359 fucking hates each other until they introduce a new crew member upon which they band together and hate the new guy is soooo true but it’s funniest with kepler. that bitch stuck to his guns for nearly the ENTIRE show he lost a hand and jacobi and command and maxwell and he was still talking about the big picture but rachel young takes one step onto the hephaestus and he’s like actually fuck you i have morals now
