My laptop is having a meltdown and every time I try to turn it on it goes into a pre-start “system scan in process” and then restarts ad infinitum when the scan is only midway through 😫

Pray for us 🙏

I'd forgotten how exceptional the first episode of Black Sails and the introduction of Captain Flint are. In one (1) episode they point to this soggy, angry little man and go: this is the most dangerous pirate of the seven seas. he wouldn't even win a swordfight. he beat someone to death with his bare fists and is ready to do it again. he probably cries himself to sleep at night. he's the most collected, composed man you've ever seen. he throws furniture around in a fit when he's angry. he talks about the importance of trust and honesty. he doesn't believe any of it. he can completely change someone's mind when he talks to them. the people closest to him know not to trust a single word that comes out of his mouth. he's in control of the narrative. he's trapped in a web of lies of his own making. he's made himself into a legend. everything he's built is just one second away from falling apart. he inspired a whole nation. he's the number one public enemy. he's a hero. he's a monster. he's just one man. he's starting a war against the whole world.

The writer part of my brain is still stuck on "a story is true, a story is untrue" and "we are still writing our story, we haven't even chose our villain" and "you know everything you need to know" and "they teach the children to fear the dark" and "all I want is to be remembered".

Like, those characters are almost meta-aware of being part of a story and they make use of that awareness.

It's almost haunting thinking about the power of narratives and stories, about how they change us/what we're writing/how we perceive us/how we let other perceive us.

the fact that none of the night at the museum movies were rated over 50% by critics is a reminder that some ppl don’t know how to have fun. the first two movies were flawless. a night watch guard has to babysit museum displays that come to life, complete w old school villains and endless historical crossovers? incredible concept, incredible execution
