Black Sails | VIII.

[johnsilvers]

the way flint’s life is just a chain of arriving at a destination only to be met with disappointment and/or devastation. arriving in nassau for the first time still as a naval officer and finding that the plans he had for it are ruined because the governor’s family had been killed. coming back to the hamiltons’ house after being expelled from the navy only to find out thomas is already gone. arriving at division bay and the urca is not there. arriving back in nassau and finding vane’s in the fort. arriving in charlestown and loosing not only miranda and the plan to save nassau but also loosing himself as ‘mcgraw’. arriving back in nassau after the alliance with the slaves only to find the men had accepted the pardons. woodes rogers waiting for him and repeating thomas’ name time after time after time. arriving in nassau with his fleet only to lose two ships and silver. arriving at miranda’s house and seeing it desecrated by billy’s men. the one time this pattern is broken is when he arrives on the beach near the wrecks and finds silver alive. but then they meet with madi and the look on flint’s face as he watches her and silver kiss tells you everything you need to know. coming back to miranda’s house (again) and finding eleanor and madi dead. finding out madi’s alive and following rogers’ ship only to be betrayed by silver. arriving at skeleton island and. well.

Finished s1/started s2 of WOT, thoughts as follows:

1x08 truly was just the LOTR Lite Power Hour, including Helm's Deep

I will say that the bit at the start, where they reveal that 3000 years ago was an advanced sci-fi society, was the most interesting and original plot thing they've done so far

2x01 did feel more interesting and better paced overall; I am hopeful it will indeed be better than s1, which was fun but really nothing particularly special

I am aware that they get together in the book, but I'm still getting nothing from Lan/Nynaeve? They looked at each other meaningfully a few times in s1, they were then in love, or something

Zzzzzzz

Lololololololol poor Lan, tried to be emotionally available and have a nice dinner and then immediately nearly died

GODDAMN IT GOTTA RUN OUT AND FIGHT SOME RINGWRAITHS BECAUSE MOIRAINE DONE DID SOMETHING DUMB AGAIN

I don't ship him and Moiraine exactly (because I like them being platonic lifemates and also I obviously like Moiraine with Sophie Okonedo's character) but I also don't NOT ship them, it's confusing

Rand now has the Buzzcut of Angst, he can talk to Flint in Black Sails s3 to find out how that usually goes

Hint: it's usually Not Good

Me at the end of s1: yeah there's 14 more books in this series, that was definitely not the Last Battle

And indeed, Dark One Guy is back, we suspect this likewise won't go well

I am excited for the arrival of my Hot Evil Eyeliner Wife

The thing that struck me when I watched Percy Jackson 1x08 was that the exec producers, Dan Shotz and Jon Steinberg, wisely borrowed from their own playbook when writing the episode.

Basing the episode around a previous training interaction between Luke and Percy, before the latter left camp on his quest, is the same narrative device Shotz and Steinberg used in Black Sails 4x09 (arguably one of the best written episodes in any show I've seen) in which the events of the episode are based around a conversation between Flint and Silver that occurred as they trianed together prior to the assault on Nassau.

In these episodes, both pairs of characters sharing a moment of instruction and understanding before one/both of them depart on a mission which will result in their relationship being irrevocably changed.

You know what they say - if it ain't broke...

Fic stat game

YaY, Fun!

I was tagged by @echo-bleu . Thanks. :) Good to remember I used to write fic (when will muses be back from... writers' strike? (I mean. I support writers and actors who are striking, wholeheartedly)).

Okay. Rules: Give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the least words. Let's see...

Most hits:

This Unreachable Sunrise (unfinished) -- 911: Lonestar, Season 1 sort of AU

A story where TK's suicide attempt (and addiction) were a result of depression, rather than just plain addiction.

Second most kudos:

Denial -- 911: Lonestar, Season 1, 1x08 coda

TK isn't waking up and Carlos has a theory why it might be. It's not something Owen can easily accept as a possible explanation.

Third most comments:

Riddle -- Hawaii Five-0 AU

Steve was with his mother when she had the 'accident' and it left him damaged.

Or -- a story where Detective Williams has to solve the riddle that is Steve McGarrett

Fourth most bookmarks:

Is, again, Denial.

Fifth most words:

All the Lies You Find, All the Truth You See -- Black Sails. SilverFlint modern AU.

James McGraw, the famous painter, lost the love of his life three years ago in a traumatic event that resulted in severe agoraphobia. Now a young pizza delivery guy with dark curly hair and provocative attitude caught his attention.

Or -- a story where John and James try to outsmart each other.

The least words:

Damn Onion -- Hawaii Five-0

It's okay to cry when you're cutting onions.

A double drabble (exactly 200 words) written for a challenge: Genre: Flangst (combo of fluff and angst), Prompt: Knife

Tagging: @hithelleth and I'm not in any fandom right now, so I have no idea who still writes and what, so... If you like this meme, consider yourself tagged by me (and tag me back! I want to know what you peoples post)

Black Sails | VIII.

[laufire]

Eleanor’s wardrobe: episodes IV-VIII.

[Caption: gifs from Black Sails focusing in Eleanor’s clothes between episodes 4 and 8. She’s wearing a thinly stripped, long-sleeved white shirt under a grayish patterned vest; another white long-sleeved shirt, with white and blue patterns coming straight down from her shoulders and down her arms; and a silky maroon buttoned shirt. She wears them all with the chest open and the collar popped up, accompanied by long heavy stripped skirts (faded green or dark blue and maroon). Her hair is in knoted buns (only half up in the middle row, falling down her back); accesories include a brown and golden belt, a scarf she shapes as a tie, a seashell necklace, a pearly pendant or a blue hairpin with a yellow flower.]

"Are you wearing the c-”

“The chanel boots? Yeah, I am.”

[garashir]

“Well, now that I've fulfilled my end of the bargain, I'm just wondering where you and I stand?”

“Keep wondering.”
