The Devil-Ship Pirates (1964)

"I understand, sir, that you're not returning to Spain."

"That's correct."

"But the Armada will be reformed, sir. King Philip must try again, there's so much at stake."

"That sort of talk's for priests and women. And you."

I read that earlier, shook my head in disgust & scroll on by

The folk behind her look just as through

She’s evil for that!

things heartstopper does brilliantly because i refuse to let some of you monsters ruin it for everyone

1. models healthy consent practices!! oh my goodness!! asking to kiss, double checking that consent is enthusiastic, being honest about moments that lacked consent (see: b*n h*pe and imogen asking out nick). later in the books we get even more amazing examples of consent being an ongoing conversation!!

2. the teenagers act their age!! they’re awkward, they’re confused, they’re unsure of themselves, they are PLAYED BY YOUNG ACTORS!!! it’s realistic and beautiful and doesn’t set unreasonable expectations for viewers like almost every other show about high schoolers

3. SUPPORTIVE PARENTS!!! all of the parents we have met so far have been loving, supportive, compassionate, and patient. it’s so nice to have multiple queer and trans characters who are embraced by their parents and their friend’s parents from the beginning. and tao’s mom is an icon.

4. safe people and places!! the characters have trusted adults like mr. ajayi and mrs. singh and safe places like the art room that they can go to when things are rough. it models healthy support network building and healthy coping skills!!!

5. all the ways you can come out and be out!! it tells a beautiful “coming out isn’t always easy and it’s never the end of the journey” story without making coming out seem like a disaster waiting to happen. yes, charlie was outed - and people still jumped to his aid even before nick came around. no one pressures nick to come out (a major story arc some of y’all clearly didnt pay attention to) and they tell him it’s fine if he doesn’t know what to label his sexuality if he even wants to label it at all. 

6. LETTING. BOYS. CRY. oh my god it’s so refreshing to see a show where boys get to cry instead of punching walls. and not once does someone tell them crying makes them less masculine. no one tells anyone to stop crying. they’re allowed to be emotional and it’s wonderful.

7. affection. i adore the way this show portrays all the small ways you can say “i love you”: a homemade picture frame, buying your apple juice every day, waiting until you’re ready, taking you to the beach, bringing over cookies for movie night, bringing their dog to the date to cheer you up, running over in the rain, punching someone in the face for you. 

feel free to add more!!! i just want to highlight the best parts of this show + graphic novel series because it really is a masterpiece. i hope kit (and the rest of the cast and crew) knows that he’s doing a good job - a great job - and that no one else’s shitty behavior can change that.

i was thinking about this video and it just clicked

Mermaid AU where they are each other's only friend, but Harry is very curious about life on the surface and Tom is deeply afraid that someday Harry is going to leave him.

Friends remember you how you'd like to be remembered, and forget the rest. Friends turn up at the last moment, friends tell you to keep running.

Finished Scratchman and decided I needed a lock screen

i love this dumb idle animation

[ahsokatanos-lightsabertechnique]

I really love how Charlie just says "No" and shuts the door in Harry's face, and later delivers the speech he gives Harry in the comics to Ben. Out of all of the differences between the comics and the show, this is probably my favorite (other than, of course, how side-characters have been given more screen-time and development). Harry is a homophobe that frankly isn't worth the time and effort of a speech. Absolutely iconic. But Ben? Ben deserves to be told exactly what he's done. Ben didn't do a single thing in the whole show that wasn't somehow self-serving. He hasn't figured himself out, or his parents are homophobic, or he's "going through some shit"? That is not an excuse to ignore consent. And frankly, I'm sure it's nice if Charlie got through to him and he maybe corrects his future behavior, but I'm more interested in the likelihood that finally saying all of that out loud to Ben was probably emotionally beneficial to Charlie. I really hope it was. That boy deserves a win in the face of the people that have abused him.

Imagine

Your boyfriend gets a hard on and instead of helping you just kiss his buldge over his pants and leave.

I'm a writer, ok? I love to write about fictional characters, I love to feed people, I love to make them happy.

I'm also a writer who can't enjoy her works. Like I just look at them after posting them and I goes "this is the most disgusting thing that ever existed on planet earth."

But I also need feeding. Like all the fic out there are smut... This is all this about?

I really need some dark fic, like please I just need crazy, obsessed, I'm gonna kill anyone who look at you characters x reader (probably with a bad ending). Is this to much to ask?
