very niche thing alert!
AKA: I Translated Todd’s Poem Into International Maritime Signal Flags.
"i love being out autismed" - @desire-mona, 2024
What's an International Maritime Signal Flag? I'm glad you asked! They're flags used to communicate between ships:
The International Code of Signals is a comprehensive guide to what combination of flags means what. Taken together, you can create an impressively large range of meanings with them.
Anyway! Onto the poem:
So I wasn't quite sure where this was going until the last few stanzas, when it became clear that this poem was no longer Todd's monologue but a dialogue between two ships, one sinking and the other unhearing (ignoring? avoiding?). The translation gave it a new dimension - it should be noted that all translations fail to preserve the exact meaning of their source - this one just took it a little farther. The poem became a call to be understood, in the same way that much of Neil's story is a call to be understood; it's misunderstood - the boys laugh - in the same way Neil is misunderstood. That gulf of silence between him and his father, that scene in his father's study where he does not justify himself, may as well be a gulf composed of water.
Both poetry and signal flags are last resorts - they are there to be used if all other methods of communication prove ineffective. They are desperate. There is a desperation, too, to the use of signal flags:
(At Sea, Merritt Tierce)
This film, after all, is about speaking to other people in languages they do not understand. This film is a code. It is coded. So, too, is poetry, and so, too, is translation. Through translation and through code I tell you that I AM HERE, that I WISH TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU, that I WAS GOOD. I WAS REALLY GOOD. Can you understand me now? Was my act of deciphering still not enough?
(For more signal flag poems, check out Code Poems by Hannah Weiner.)

YES EXACTLY. She said that she wrote evermore (the album I think) after watching Sense & Sensibility with Kate Winslet, but there are too many parallels with DPS to be ignored!
"And I was catching my breath
Staring out an open window
Catching my death
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this pain would be for
Evermore
Hey December
Guess I'm feeling unmoored
Can't remember
What I used to fight for"
-evermore by Taylor Swift
You can't convince me that she didn't write this about him.
He died on December 15.
"And I was catching my breath
Barefoot in the wildest winter
Catching my death
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this pain would be for
Evermore"
"And I was catching my breath
Floors of a cabin creaking under my step
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
This pain wouldn't be for
Evermore"

CLEARING MY SCHEDULE TONIGHT
Knight/bard AU is out!
It's a biting spring day when Sir Neil de Pyrige, knight-errant first and lordling second, first crosses paths with Todd of Andreu - master poet, new court bard, and the exiled citizen of an enemy country. The rest has passed into myth.
Hymnal To The Year-Turn is on AO3 right now! I've been working on this thing since February, so if you want 37,000 words of pseudo-medieval Anderperry, bardic poetry, and falling in love through letters, go on and check it out. Plus a notes section/bibliography of sorts at the end for you to have a look at! Here's a generated Penguin Classics cover:
(See, I told you I've been thinking about this AU for a while.)
Tagging: @grubbzy @beovisionavant32. So sorry this took so long to finish! You guys must have asked about it nearly two months ago now.

Girl finds out the book is not as good as the movie and is fucking devastated. Rethinks life. Fuck you mean "neil looked at todd angrily" He has never looked at that man with anything but pure awe and admiration as if todd himself hung the moon and stars in the sky. Neil looks at todd like he holds the world in his hands he looks at todd with the eyes of a newborn baby deer are you insane.
#someone on amazon called it 'aggressively straight'#which is a very apt description#the movie is FAR SUPERIOR for many reasons tho

"Mouse Anglican verging on Mouse Catholic. Worrying, fascinating" HAHAHA
I don't know what paddington is doing on that list, but it made me think of the time someone drew a picture of the queen with paddington after she died, and we had scores of people losing their minds at the idea that paddington bear wasn't the same kind of communist as them
