If you want to be educated on the "welfare queen" stereotype in a hilarious and informative and thorough manner, I will once again recommend this episode of You're Wrong About

#annnd there's Reagan #truly no wonder why the GOP idolizes him #less clear is why I've been hearing Black folk call Clinton the first Black president all my life #when he made our lives significantly worse #welfare #government aid #government assistance

types of story that different black sails characters think they're in:

jack: typical underdog overcoming unbeatable odds story; he is the main character and the show is 100% about him and his joseph campbell hero's journey. he is like achilles seeking eternal glory. he is also like gilgamesh, seeking immortality because he's afraid of death

flint: one of those fairytale retelling stories from the villain's pov; he is the fire-breathing dragon/big bad wolf/wicked witch that his village has ostracized, chased out of his home with pitchforks and torches because they feared him and what he is and what he stands for. he knows that in another show, a more popular show, the story would be told from the pov of the villagers about the dangers that lie beyond the village walls and into the forest...but this is HIS show and in HIS show HE is the one that survived the villagers not the other way around and HE is the one that has been wronged and he WILL see them pay for it

miranda: at first she thinks she is the witty and cunning heroine of a regency period romance novel. she is critical of high society and it's archaic and sexist traditions, turns her nose up at the institution of marriage and yet against all odds finds a true partner in thomas. she thinks herself happier and smarter than her peers, for finding a way to explore her sexuality freely and still keep her high status. she is caught in a whirlwind romance with a handsome naval officer and well....then her story turns into a tragedy and a decade caught in lifeless loveless joyless limbo where she is sidelined into the background of someone else's story

max: overly aware that she is in A Story and that she is Not The Main Character; the spotlight is never on her, she will never take centre stage. in fact, she is in the wings, or perhaps watching the show from the back of the theatre as the stage manager, setting the scene and directing others to pull ropes, shine lights, open and close the curtains so that other actors can strut and fret their way around the stage

billy: revenge quest story! thinks he is the good guy, there to protect his friends and get revenge on the tyrant who killed his father. gains some genre awareness and realizes that he is not, in fact, the main character, but rather a side character caught in a romance between his captain and quartermaster and if he really wants to survive he's really gotta break them up

madi: a story of hope told around a campfire, passed on from generation to generation so people don't forget about the time that an island of maroons stood up to a seemingly eternal and unbeatable empire. some days, it's a cautionary tale, on how volatile solidarity can be with divisions like class, race and gender .... or how revolution necessitates violence that people who are comfortable in their oppression rather not pay... but no empire lasts forever and nothing is inevitable. the story sticks in the hearts and minds of future revolutionaries and someday someone somewhere will pick up the torch and continue the fight

season 1 walrus crew: workplace comedy

silver: [redacted]

#black sails #black sails meta #rare black sails meta text posts where i look back on it like....yeah my takes could be wrong here #i was like “huh i wonder what genre of show the black sails characters think they're in” and then blacked out #but the inherent tragedy of characters in a story IS that they dont know what genre of story theyre in #so realistically i dont think any of them would actually think this stuff through except maybe jack max and flint #anyways if it helps i did take a media literacy class in university <- things that are embarassing to admit when my takes end up being wron #charles and anne: you guys live in a story? well we live in the moment so

Well THat doesn't seem right....

#pre-sleep STRIKES AGAIN #evry time i make stuff like this i wonder if i should put it under the ship tag or the individ tags #bc i am showing a pattern and it involves mashing kuya and yakumo into a paste (via traditional mortar and pestle)#*turns on the blender* we're having yokai stew today. and tomorrow. and the day after that. and the day after tha #i'm tellin u. if they introduced kuya lookin like kuya but with yaku's personality #i would have impregnated him ON SIGHT #and if they started the game with a kuya-personality yaku-looker i probably would have hated him more than anything in the universe #it gives me.....first love interest in every otoge where he looks like an edgelord in red-black and has control issues over protag #anyway i'm glad you two are the way you are... even if my instinct-to-impreg leads me astray #bc kuya in his purple pink flower motif (boss bitch) and yaku in his edgelord goth n bones aesthetic (too soft to live) is just. fun #yakuya

Cal is a book nerd and it's the first thing we find out about her!

I've said before that Cal is a Shakespeare nerd. But she's also a bookworm! The first two times we see Cal through Juliette's eyes, she is reading. Juliette is drawn to Cal's intelligence and curiosity. And that's how we meet her as an audience. A strong, smart, nerdy black girl being absolutely pined over by the first character we meet. The fact that Calliope Antigone Burns is desired by someone and a main character given her own narrative shouldn't be so groundbreaking. But it is. And she's such a gloriously nerdy character in little ways that make me really happy. I'm really just so glad she exists and I need more of her idiosyncrasies in Season 2 and beyond.

#calliope burns #first kill #first kill netflix #calliette #lgbtq #juliette fairmont #black representation saves lives #black nerd representation saves lives #she really is just the biggest nerd and I can't wait to talk about why #also her literature choices further her character development #She has the coolest taste in books #no wonder our nerdyass dorky vampire fell for her #Cal's got serious depth and solidly fascinating aspects of her character #she's gorgeous and mysterious but also she recites Shakespeare and hangs out like Juliette does in used book booths #She reads during lunchtime and on the grass

I often wonder about the quote-unquote logistics of Corvo the Black/Emily the Butcher endings. Emily makes more sense to me, in a way, carving her way through the empire only to come back with blood caked under her fingernails and realising that she did everything her father refused to do 15 years ago. but why did Corvo have a similar choice?

what happens to the statues later? does Emily keep her father trapped in stone? does Corvo look at his daughter, frozen in the moment and considers freeing her? is he at his deathbed when he finally reaches out and cups Emily's cheek, freeing her into a carcass of an empire that he gutted for her, in her name, in the name of her mother?

when I first heard of the endings I thought that if you reach very high chaos, you are locked into this choice - Corvo or Emily tries to free the other and the stone just doesn't budge. they are trapped. the quest is over but the world knows that the bloodshed was extreme and this is the punishment they have to face

#li.txt #dh #dishonored #kinda like the high chaos brigmore witches ending #there is no reason for corvo to kill daud if you finish BW in high chaos. but he still does. because the world Knows #but the very Active choice of the player and by extension the character to take the throne and keep their last family locked in stone....#its certainly a choice. and it makes me wonder about many a thing #i really wish we got more info #karnaisbear mentioned that itd be cool if we got comics expanding on alternate endings and like arkane. arkane can we please get those #I just really wanna know What It Was Like to live under the rule of Emily or Corvo in the very high chaos endings #and the fact that it seems like they can still free the other person? that adds so much more angst and tension to it #is there a time limit? do years pass and does corvo grow old and weary and thinks that yes #he has done his job and he has done it well. and the empire is righted and he can hand it back to emily now #and he cups her cheek and it remains cold marble #and all he did was for nothing #and he cries #(can u tell ive been reading thru the corvo the black tag)#not to mention something similar to that but with emily!!#imagine she grows old! older than corvo was when he was frozen!#the century is coming to a close when she finally frees him and she is older so much older and corvo will have to live with losing her #in every single impossible way he has lost her #and then he gets to bury his daughter #these tags got so dark wtf

Stop saying sorry for asking questions, not always wanting to hang out (especially with toxic people), not having time for other people, your feelings and emotions, speaking out about your needs and wants, your growth, your achievements, goals, and dreams, for wearing what you want to wear, having hobbies that make you smile, and having boundaries. Quit apologizing for putting yourself first. You are your first priority. And don’t feel guilty for putting others second. ❤️

@wolfstarmicrofic March 20 – prompt 20: Manegro Potion – word count 482

Manegro Potion - Causes hair on drinker's head to grow out rapidly

“You look stunning, domina mea,” Peter bowed with a flourish as the door to the Head Girl bedroom opened.

“You’re not so bad yourself, Senator,” Cornelia smiled, bending down to kiss him.

They walked hand in hand to the portrait hole at the entrance of Gryffindor Tower and stopped a couple of minutes to rearrange both their togas and the laurel crowns Peter had made by hand that afternoon.

“My last Gryffindor costume party,” Cornelia sighed. “I can’t believe it.”

“Don’t think about it, baby,” Peter kissed her. “Let’s just enjoy ourselves tonight.”

The Common Room was packed with people, all busy drinking, chatting, dancing and trying to guess who other people were dressed as. Marlene was in the middle of the dance floor, dressed as David Bowie, while Dorcas, dressed as Morgan Le Fay, was ogling her from the corner. Lily and Mary, both in full ABBA getup, were sharing a bowl of popcorn near the fireplace and giggling.

“Is your friend… Dressed up as your other friend?”

Peter followed Cornelia’s gaze and snorted at the sight of James, in heavy boots, tight jeans, a Bowie tank top and black leather jacket, sitting on the couch next to a very puzzled Regulus Black. James’s hair was longer as well, and he had pulled it back in a bun with his wand through it like Sirius often did.

“So that’s where the Manegro Potion we brew in Potions last week went,” Peter chuckled. “Drink?”

Cornelia nodded and he quickly went and got a couple of Butterbeers from the table by the window, but as he was handing Cornelia hers he saw her mouth fall open as her eyes looked over his head.

“Merlin and Morgana both,” she breathed.

Peter turned around to see Remus walk in the room from the stairs to their dorm. He was dressed in deep blue velvet with silver embroidering, tight trousers shaping his long legs and a cape hanging from his shoulders.

“Prince Charming exists then,” Cornelia said.

“Definitely,” Peter agreed.

“You know I love you, but if he so much as smiles to me tonight you’ll give me a pass,” she added, taking a sip from her Butterbeer.

“As long as you do the same if he smiles at me instead,” Peter added.

He was still staring at Moony’s legs when Sirius’s voice echoed from the stairs.

“My prince! Wherefore art thou?”

A couple of seconds later, Sirius made his entrance, the back of one hand on his forehead and the other keeping the hem of a floor-length silver dress away from his feet.

“Here, beloved,” Remus smiled, kissing Sirius’s hand and twirling him around.

Peter noticed only then that Sirius’s usually luscious hair was way longer than usual, gathered in a complicated braid that fell past his waist, interlaced with flowers.

“I stand corrected,” he said. “That’s where all the Manegro Potion we brew went.”
