The number one rule of cursed boat voyages is, "no matter how cursed the boat is, do not dive from it." There was no way to survive this from the beginning, but now you will see that truth with your own eyes, and no one will believe you.

Best of 2023 - TV Series

I think I watched over 50 TV shows this year and most of them were great which means, the making of this list was hard and took me a few days and I'm still not sure about the order.

01. Deadloch - Season 1. - "Welcome to the Tasmanian town of Deadloch! It’s the site of a simmering culture war between the blue-collar, old-school residents and a recent influx of lesbians who’ve put the place on the map, bringing performance art and gourmet nose-to-tail dining with them." - Vanity Fair

02. The Woman In The Wall - Miniseries - "People think that this couldn't happen again. Then they forget that the last laundry closed in 1996. It wasn't medieval times. The f**king 'Macarena' was in the charts." - Philippa Dunne

03. Nolly - Miniseries - "This show follows Nolly through the very public sacking and its fallout, and paints a sympathetic and adoring picture of the woman behind the headlines. Bonham Carter sails through this as if on the campest of clouds, but also beautifully articulates the grief behind the glamour. Nolly is part of the old guard, the oldest of guards in fact – she was the first woman ever to appear on colour television. " - The Guardian

04. The Newsreader - Season 2.

05. Heartstopper - Season 2.

06. Mood - Miniseries - "Like Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag and Michaela Coel’s Chewing Gum, Lecky’s Mood started life as a one-woman show on the London stage; she debuted Superhoe at the Royal Court in 2019, with the Standard describing her performance as “a revelation”. That’s probably where those comparisons should end, though, as Mood is a very different beast, and not just because of the aforementioned musical interludes. The darkness in this story isn’t necessarily mined for laughs (though our deadpan lead Sasha can be savagely funny, just like some of her brutal song lyrics) and there’s a real sense of precariousness at its heart." - Evening Standard

07. Workin' Moms - Season 7.

08. Blue Lights - Season 1.

09. The White Lotus - Season 1. and 2.

10. Ted Lasso - Season 3.

11. Starstruck - Season 3.

12. The Following Events Are Based on a Pack of Lies - Season 1. - "The show touches on some serious themes around abuse, misogyny and gaslighting, but it is so compelling because it doesn’t forget how much fun there is in the art of the con." - The Guardian

13. The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart - Miniseries

14. The Night Agent - Season 1.

15. The Dry - Season 1.

16. Foundation - Season 1. and 2.

17. The Change - Season 1. - "Bridget Christie writes and stars in The Change – her sitcom debut – as Linda, a much put-upon wife, mother and retail worker who reaches a crisis point at her 50th birthday party. It’s not just the menopause. It’s also the cluelessness of her husband (Omid Djalili), the open disdain of her teenage children and society’s general denial of the full humanity of older women that pushes Linda over the edge." - The Guardian

18. Sex Education - Season 4.

19. Fleishman is in Trouble - Miniseries

20. Slow Horses - Season 1. and 2.

21. The Last of Us - Season 1.

22. The Fall of the House of Usher - Miniseries

23. Fisk - Season 1. and 2. - "You can tell Fisk is an old-fashioned sitcom just by looking at it. That goes beyond Fisk’s awesome brown pants suit; the visuals here are firmly in service to the story (and to the jokes) rather than feeling like a cinematographer’s audition reel. The locations are basic – an office, a café, Fisk’s temporary Air B&B home – and filmed in a straightforward way that never detracts from the comedy. For audiences used to expensive production values and flashy locations this may take a little getting used to, but the effort is most definitely worth it." - ScreenHub

24. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel - Season 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

25. The Diplomat - Season 1.

26. Gen V - Season 1.

27. Secret City - Season 1. and 2.

28. Severance - Season 1.

29. Wolf - Miniseries

30. The Crown - Season 5.

31. Shrinking - Season 1.

32. Three Pines - Miniseries

33. Beef - Miniseries

34. The Sixth Commandment - Miniseries - "Evil characters can be just as one-note and boring as the good, but Hardwicke manages to infuse Ben with such a disconcerting blend of calculation, charm and quiet, almost hidden glee in the harm he inflicts that it is impossible to look away. You will want to. It is harrowing." - The Guardian

35. Swarm - Miniseries

36. Bodies - Miniseries

37. The Long Shadow - Miniseries

38. Wellmania - Miniseries

39. Boat Story - Miniseries

40. The Morning Show - Season 3.

“Boat Story” s1e6 (2023)

Magnificent final episode, which at times was almost a completely different self-contained story. Oh, it ended all the story arc beats in a satisfying way. It's just that it completely went off on another tangent. Something it was foreshadowing all along. Something decidedly bonkers. But delicious nonetheless.

The script made some bold storytelling choices, but got away with them. It hinted, for instance, that Samuel had previous knowledge of the boat on the beach. Here we learned that he didn't. The way it was done was cheeky. Very self-aware.

That out-of-nowhere final scene makes me think the producers are planning a second season... I hope so. (There was another boat before this. They said so. But it was never referenced again.)

10/10

I think I'm finally about to finish this story I wrote to prove to myself that I could finish original stories! But it came out to almost 18,500 words, so I'm not sure what to do with it now. I guess I could try submitting it to some places that accept longer stories, and see how my RSD copes. Not well, I bet.

I started this story in late 2018, so it's weird to think of it as actually finished. It's not even something I was particularly passionate about. It's just been... there, for ages.

Hopefully my next attempt at original fiction will take less than four and a half years. I think I've recently made some progress on my aversion to being silly in original fiction, which is good, because silly-serious is what I like to write. And I'd love to see what extremely stupid but also sincere stuff I could come up with if I let myself.

#writing #boat story #I think I've mentioned this story before but I don't think I ever tagged it as anything #It contains several boats but mostly they're on land #Nobody's discovered metalworking yet #Everyone uses an excessive amount of -ing verbs #Everyone has a great time (That one's a lie)

Watched all of Boat Story on BBC. It's one of those things where at the end of it I couldn't honestly tell you whether I liked it or not. Some bits worked really well + it did have a great cast but it was a bit all over the place and like it couldn't decide what it wanted to be. So you had a mix of cute quirky comedy with the narration + musical bits + titles then you had extremely graphic fucked up violence + character deaths plus a sub plot that I just didn't think tied in with the rest of the storyline (with regards to what The Tailor really wants). But an interesting effort.

star sailor 🎇

this was drawn a little over 2 weeks ago as i was in the middle of act 2! it's kind of funny in retrospect hahaha i put the star shaped light on sif as a nod to my vague theory that sif had a star for a heart/soul but lost it. Well it wasn't quite right but there was one line of dialogue going towards that direction? a win is a win

idea i had

#doodles #i feel like a lot of media overplays the bat transformation when vampires can also turn into wolves and mist #theres a story in vampirella issue 1 (september 1969) called “death boat” which i wont spoil but the twist ending really surprised me #i wanted to have the vampire/mist/smoke come out of the bite but it would have been hard for me to draw in paint #like it would have covered the bite marks and i thought it wouldnt be clear what was happening

I'm having complicated emotions (though mostly giggling madly) about the fact that people are recommending The Terror and Black Sails to Our Flag Means Death fans purely based on them being Age of Sail series with "queer representation". Like... sure, I guess? But I'm not sure if serious-as-a-heart-attack horror or drama series are what OFMD fans are looking for.

HOWEVER.

What if I told you there is another pirate show out there with a lighthearted tone, colorful quasi-Age-of-Sail setting, and plot centered around a lovable crew of misfits creating a found family on a pirate ship?

Our Flag Means Death fans looking for a new boat media obsession, I think Netflix's One Piece may be the show you're looking for. Have fun, and I'll see you all at Funky Bar on Mirror Ball Island.

Absolutely losing my mind over Scar’s stream today

He was already talking to Etho while catching ocelots

Joel logs in and Scar immediately asks if Etho wants to go visit him

We get so many Etho lore crumbs (although he doesn’t fully confirm anything except having stubble and trying to get rid of 2 extra house generators)

They hang out for like 2 hours doing nothing hut chatting

Eventually Scar leaves but forgot that he left his ocelots at Etho’s because he was so excited about boat boys that he never brought them home

#ethoslab #goodtimeswithscar #smallishbeans #boat boys #hermitcraft #there was so much more as well and I already want to rewatch the streams bc ads kept trying to interrupt the lore #both joel and gem told etho they wanted a generator and he told them they had to pick it up but couldn’t tell them where #he also might live in the middle of nowhere off the grid and has to chop wood for electricity #he also may or may not have a phone but hinted at probably not #but somehow managed to get fast internet #to be clear none of what he said surprised me one bit #he also retold the same story of his voice being recognized so is that still the only time #i find it hard to believe but also he is probably the closest to an actual hermit irl of anyone on the server

*twirling my hair around my finger* hes just soooooo burdened by his sense of duty and the insurmountable weight of being a mere man written into the role of a myth

#yes this is about aeneas yes im reading more aeneid #heres the thing about the aeneid that really gets me #like we're told from the very beginning of the story that this is a tale of how rome comes to be #a foundational story of homeric scale designed to inspire the people of rome #but then we meet aeneas and he's literally Just Some Guy #like he's a single father and he just lost his dad and he would really like to not be on this boat right now #also this is literally the same thing for turnus except instead of the sense of duty it's the divine rage of juno #like hes on the battlefield hes on his knees his Just Some Guy who didnt really ask for this #and heres aeneas heres the hero heres Rome Itself #but turnus looks into his eyes and for the shortest most desperate moment he sees himself #aeneidposting
