Hi! I have a question for you, and a gif request if possible. (Totally understand if you don't have time!) 💌

For the gifs, I would absolutely love to see something that includes Stede and Lucius's reactions when Nigel talks about the rowboat and the horse incidents. (It starts at about the 20:38 mark.) You can really tell all that bullying was traumatic for Stede, and from Lucius's reaction, I wonder if he experienced times like that too. Either way, I think of this as the moment he starts feeling a little empathetic and protective of Stede, so it's important to me, but I haven't seen anyone do gifs of it yet!

This is my question:

What is something about a character or the show in general that you connected to in a really personal way?

Thank you for all the great posts you create and share!

Ah omg thank you for the request!!!!! 💖 here's the post!!!!

I'm so glad you pointed this out because it's definitely not something I picked up on my first watch through and like, nathan foad's acting really says it all with how uncomfortable he looks, and then he glances at stede to check on him and make sure he's okay!!!! because he realizes now how much of stede's past was surrounded by toxic masculinity and homophobia (undoubtedly something similar that lucius had to go through) and i totally see it as him understanding stede and sympathizing with him rather than brushing him off as some fancy guy playing pirate just for the hell of it. like the fact that we can get so much from a one second shot of a character's reaction is why i love this show so much <3

as for your question, it's honestly hard to choose just one thing that has made me latch onto this show as hard as i have. i know a lot of people have already said it but like. i genuinely cannot get over how intrinsic it is to the show that there are queer characters and poc. like in some shows with canon gay relationships they're usually side characters who have their own little arcs that are independent from the main plot, but ofmd's main plot literally IS stede and ed's relationship. like you literally CANNOT remove their love from this show, because that's what this show is. and on a similar vein, having so many poc and their race being a key part of their characters and backstories is so important too. like it wouldn't even be the same show if blackbeard was played by a white actor, and having the main relationship of the show be between two middle-aged men, one of them biracial, is just mind blowing to me that this is a show that exists and we all watched it and got to experience it before our very eyes???? as someone who is also both queer and biracial i just can't stress enough how much this show means to me fr :')

a bit of a long answer lmaoo but thank you so much for sending this in!!! 🥺💞

#ems got mail #engli-i-ish #i think ive also latched onto taika for similar reasons #like watching interviews and hearing him talking about his identity and being biracial like it just makes me feel so seen #i couldve gone into so much more with that answer lol i could write a 50 page essay about how much ofmd has impacted me #but im not gonna burden yall with that shjkfssjdhk

Hello! Another tumblr user I follow has posed a challenge: memorize one poem per month in 2024. I would like to include at least one poem in Catalan in my journey. Could you recommend any good poems or poets for this?

Hello! We have many very talented poets. My favourite poet is Salvador Espriu, other good ones are Miquel Martí i Pol, Vicent Andrés Estellés, Jacint Verdaguer, Maria-Mercè Marçal, Pere Quart, Josep Carner, Ausiàs March, Joan Maragall, Montserrat Abelló, J.V. Foix, Gabriel Ferrater, Joana Raspall, Joan Alcover, Enric Casasses, among others.

I'll add 7 of my favourite short/short-ish poems (+translation to English) under the cut. Poetry is very personal and these are just the ones that I really like, but I'll be happy if anyone else wants to add more of their favourite Catalan poems.

1. Enyore un temps que no és vingut encara (I Miss a Time That's Not Yet Come) by Vicent Andrés Estellés.

Enyore un temps que no és vingut encara com un passat d’accelerada lluita, de combatius balcons i d’estendards, irat de punys, pacífic de corbelles, nou de cançons, parelles satisfetes, el menjador obert de bat a bat i el sol entrant fins al darrer racó. Em moriré, però l’enyore ja, aquest moment, aquest ram, aquest dia, que m’ha de fer aixecar de la fossa veient passar la multitud contenta.

Translation:

I miss a time that has not arrived yet like a past of accelerated fight, of combative balconies and standards, angry of fists, peaceful of sickles, new of songs, satisfied couples, the living room wide open and the sun entering until the last corner. I will die, but I miss it already, this moment, this bouquet, this day, that shall make me get up from the grave watching the happy crowd pass by.

2. Assaig del càntic en el temple (Attempted Canticle in the Temple) by Salvador Espriu.

Oh, que cansat estic de la meva covarda, vella, tan salvatge terra, i com m’agradaria d’allunyar-me’n, nord enllà, on diuen que la gent és neta i noble, culta, rica, lliure, desvetllada i feliç! Aleshores, a la congregació, els germans dirien desaprovant: «Com l’ocell que deixa el niu, així l’home que se’n va del seu indret», mentre jo, ja ben lluny, em riuria de la llei i de l’antiga saviesa d’aquest meu àrid poble. Però no he de seguir mai el meu somni i em quedaré aquí fins a la mort. Car sóc també molt covard i salvatge i estimo a més amb un desesperat dolor aquesta meva pobra, bruta, trista, dissortada pàtria.

Translation:

How tired I am of this my craven, ancient, savage fatherland; and how it would delight me to leave, going north, where they say that people are noble and clean, cultured, rich, free, awake/unsupervised and happy! Then, my brethren would tell the congregation, disapprovingly: "Leaving his native place, a man becomes like a bird leaving the nest", while I, in the distance, would laugh at the law and the ancient wisdom of this my arid people. But the dream will never be followed, I’ll stay here until my death. For I too am full of cowardice and savagery, and with a desperate pain I love this my poor, unclean, sad, unlucky fatherland.

3. Divisa (Motto) by Maria-Mercè Marçal. This one's short and easy!

A l’atzar agraeixo tres dons: haver nascut dona, de classe baixa i nació oprimida. I el tèrbol atzur de ser tres voltes rebel.

Translation:

I am grateful to fate for three gifts: to have been born a woman, from the working class and an oppressed nation. And the turbid azure of being three times a rebel.

4. Possible introducció a un epitalami (Possible Introduction to an Epithalamium) by Salvador Espriu

I posted this a while ago, find the text and translation in this post:

5. Plus Ultra ("Further" in Latin) by Jacint Verdaguer

Text and translation in this post:

6. Aquesta remor que se sent (This Murmur We Hear) by Miquel Martí i Pol.

Text and translation in this post:

7. Mester d'amor (Knowing How to Love) by Joan Salvat-Papasseit

Si en saps el pler no estalviïs el bes que el goig d'amar no comporta mesura. Deixa't besar, i tu besa després que és sempre als llavis que l'amor perdura. No besis, no, com l'esclau i el creient, mes com vianant a la font regalada. Deixa't besar -sacrifici fervent- com més roent més fidel la besada. ¿Què hauries fet si mories abans sense altre fruit que l'oreig en ta galta? Deixa't besar, i en el pit, a les mans, amant o amada -la copa ben alta. Quan besis, beu, curi el veire el temor: besa en el coll, la més bella contrada. Deixa't besar i si et quedava enyor besa de nou, que la vida és comptada.

Translation:

If you know its pleasure, don't skip the kiss for the joy of loving has no measure. Let yourself be kissed, and kiss after it for it's always on the lips that love lasts. Don't kiss, no, like the slave and the believer, but like the passer-by does with a delightful fountain. Let yourself be kissed -fervent sacrifice- the more burning, the more faithful is the kiss. ¿What would you have done if you died before without fruit other than the zephyr on your cheek? Let yourself be kissed, and on the chest, on the hands, male or female lover -the cup raised high. When you kiss, drink; may the glass cure the fear: kiss on the neck, the most beautiful place. Let yourself be kissed and if there's yearning left kiss again, for life is finite.

These are some I like. You can find more Catalan poems in this blog's tag #poesia.

I got tagged by both @merlins-sequined-hotpants and @incalculablepower for this meme, and I keep forgetting to do it.

• Fav Color: Blue, on the lighter and greener end. They actually just asked me this at the boba cafe and I'm hopeful that I will always get blue straws from now on. 🤞

• Currently Reading: Mostly fanfiction of course, but Harrow the Ninth, very late. I read all the meta for these books on Tumblr and then I started reading the books, it helps me to understand wtf is going on.

• Last Song: Sing Sing Sing (With A Swing)

• Last Movie: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (in preparation for writing an AU, though I don't know when I'll get to it)

• Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Sweet sweet sweet!

• Currently working on: What am I working on? I feel like I'm struggling to get going on the next installment of Prisons but also the next gentlebend fic (dammit I will make "gentlebend" happen) and another kiss-on-the-hand fic ... I don't know what's wrong with me.

Tagging @skysofrey, @engli-i-ish, and anyone else who wants to do it!

Tag a quality blog, You’re it! Quality doesn’t mean that you have a lot of followers, or a lot of messages. It means that you’re nice to other people, and you deserve to be happy. If you get this message, someone is telling you that they love you as you are, and they don’t care how many followers you have. Send this to 15 blogs who deserve it. If you break the chain, nothing will happen. But it’s just good to let someone know that you love them 💛✨

Desperately needing something to occupy my mind (bad anxiety). Can you guys recommend anything long-ish (pref not multipart length though) about Suga, Hoseok or Namjoon, either kinda fluffy or super smutty, but definitely with a bit of a plot. Even better if any recs are kinda out there or kinky. I also kinda like AU stuff like the hybrid ones. Basically, I'm too jittery to trawl through lists to find something I might like. Halp?

Check these out! I know @tayegi is known for long fics & interesting plots:

Chemistry Partners (M) w/ Yoongs

Where Is My Mind? (M) w/ Hobi (werewolf!AU)

English Literature (M) w/ Nams

Like Pavlov’s Dogs (M) w/ Nams (this is a sequel to the fic above, but i think it could e read without any prior knowledge of what happened in Englis Lit)

A Vampire and a Werewolf Walk Into A Bar (M) w/ Nams (werewolf!reader x vampire!nams)

Also @avveh whom I just recently followed and briefly glanced at their masterlist:

The Guest House (M) w/ Yoongs

& @dom-joonie :

A Tardy Fate (M) w/ Nams

I think this will get too long if I go any further soooo if you need more just let me know! Hopefully this list will help you out!

emily’s 1k followers celebration ➥ @engli-i-ish asked: 💌 the rowboat & horse scene (+ lucius’ reaction)

#our flag means death #ofmd #ofmdedit #ofmdgifs #ofmdblog #stede bonnet #lucius spriggs #rhys darby #nathan foad #my gifs #ems1k #haha yeah rhys' acting when he finally remembers what nigel is talking about #my heart is shattering into a million pieces like the fact that you can so CLEARLY tell how upset stede is by this #and of course nigel and the other british fucks dont care #which i think says a lot when its contrasted with stedes crew who look horrified at how awful they are #and this is a crew who were literally about to mutiny against stede like five minutes before this sdfhjks #also in your ask you mention lucius' reaction being one of sympathy from a place of relatability #that lucius might have experienced something like this before and thats what warms him up to stede #hearing the shit he had to go through that is very much thinly veiled homophobia #so yeah stede may be a goofy pirate captain but lucius sees him and feels for him :')#okay enough rambling in the tags lmao thanks so much for the request!!!!! <3
