let’s talk about tough, brave, scarred and bitter characters whose voices soften and whose hands move patiently when they interact with someone terrified and hurting

Now, comforting Selkie, giving her something to think about besides the storm raging outside, helped to calm him. Instead of cowering in the comfort of Sabine’s arms, he read stories to his little one. Sabine could still see the effects of the PTSD he suffered, but he winced less, the memories cut less deep.

He stopped walking his tight circle, and looked up at Sabine’s faintly smiling face. She nodded at him, knowing what a blessing their little girl was to him. Sabine knew, completely, that he treasured her as much as their daughter, and could watch this special time with complete serenity. She knew that he read these stories - Sabine’s favorite stories - as a sort of repayment for all of Sabine’s comfort. For all the love she’d showered upon him.

Smiling, Daniel continued to read to their daughter, his low, rumbly voice adding a calm to the gently waving, golden glow of firelight from the fireplace.

when albert camus said "the sea; i didnt lose myself in it. i found myself in it" and when sylvia plath said "if i lived by the sea i would never be really sad" and when hozier said "love, when the sea rises to meet us" and when an anonymous writer said "and yet my heart wanders away, my soul roams with the sea" and when homer said "I’d rather die at sea"

 Unusual set of three scrimshaw gambling dice ~ Carved from a sperm whale tooth (approx. 1" square), with designs inlaid with pitch & red wax; early 19th century. “The time for recreation on a 19th century whaling ship was the second dogwatch, from 6 to 8 o’clock in the evening. Boxing was discouraged by the captains, but scrimshandering, dominoes, dice, backgammon, card games, cribbage, & chess were not. The stakes for seamen playing such games & using the dice were usually tobacco.”

Yes, it’s Muppets, but I fucking love it, and think it’d definitely be on Daniel’s Spotify.

Anyway, this has to go on every playlist about pirates.
