My First Fanbind! A Black Sails Fic Anthology Series

It took me a year (and a lot of anxious research) before I worked up the courage to bookbind fanfiction, and after months of on-again-off-again work, my first fanbind is finally done!

I knew that if I was going to bookbind fic, I had to bind something from the Black Sails fandom, aka the fandom and show that have had the biggest impact on my life. Y'all, I almost went into academia to study slavery in the 17th-18th century Caribbean because of this show - when folks say this show rewires your brain chemistry, they are NOT kidding. THEE show of all time. Happy 10th anniversary to Black Sails! This fandom is small but mighty. May we continue to get our hearts and souls blasted to smithereens by this show for many years to come.

Ao3 abounds with magnificent Black Sails oneshots, so I decided to put together an anthology of my favorite Silverflint fics under 20k, which I split into two volumes. Included are works by @justlikeeddie, @vowel-in-thug, @balloonstand, @annevbonny, @francisthegreat, @nysscientia, and more! Thank you, thank you all, you brilliant wonderful people, for gracing the Internet with such amazing writing. When I read the fics in these anthologies I want to fling myself into the sun.

More on the design and binding process below the cut!

Vol. 1 Page Count: 270 (12 fics) Vol. 2 Page Count: 248 (11 fics) Body Font: Sabon Next LT (10.5 pt) Title Font: Goudy Old Style Other Fonts: IM Fell English, pirates pw

The typeset (which I did in Word) took a while, mainly because I'd never done it before. Manually adjusting the hyphenation line-by-line was especially tedious. After making these books, I abandoned Word in favor of InDesign, in large part because InDesign gives you way finer control over your justification and hyphenation settings.

Regarding my actual design choices, I'm happy with how the ocean motif on the title page turned out (it's not the same pattern as my endpapers, but they're complimentary) and I'm very fond of my divider dingbats, which are little swords! Goudy Old Style was a fun title font to use, since it's the font that Black Sails uses as its logo. The stories in Vol. 1 are divided into parts based on what Silver WAS at that point in the show (cook, quartermaster, or king), and Vol. 2 is split up into comedies, histories (AUs set in the canon universe) and tragedies - befitting Black Sails' Shakespearean ~vibes~.

I stuck to a flatback binding, as I wasn't feeling quite ambitious enough to try rounding and/or backing. I've learned that I ~Anakin Skywalker voice~ hate sanding, enjoy folding/sewing, and don't LIKE edge trimming but enjoy the results enough to make it worth it.

The real adventure was decorating the cover, which remained bare for months. After agonizing over Illustrator and experimenting unsuccessfully with HTV and lokta paper embossing, I ultimately turned to using stencil vinyl to paint on the designs. There was a bit of seepage under some of the stencils, but I was able to scrape off the excess with my Cricut weeding tool without damaging the coated surface of the bookcloth (probably Arrestox Blue Ribbon from Hollander's). Even though it was very time-consuming, I'm so happy with the end result of the stenciled paint job and I intend to stick with stencils for my foreseeable future binds.

Are there things I would change? Sure. It was humid out when I printed, so the pages have got a wave. There’s an extra two pages in Vol 2. that I have no idea how I missed, and I got a line of glue in the middle of one of my Vol. 2 endpapers. I’m pretty sure I didn’t case in quite right, since my endpapers pull away from the case at the spine. I think the inner margins are a bit too big, and despite going line-by-line there’s still some wacky justification spacing in the typeset. But man, am I proud of these books! It is so satisfying to learn a new skill - MANY new skills, if we’re being honest - and to make something both beautiful and practical. If I’m still binding in two years or so, I can see myself redoing the typeset in InDesign, cutting out the existing text block, and reusing the cases. I’m also already planning for Vol. 3, which will be Silverflint Modern AUs.

Thanks for reading!

NightBringer Satan is a Gift.

I understand everyone has their own opinions on how good/not good NB is as a game or a story or whatever, but in my opinion, Satan's characterization is soooo enhanced by it. I know that this isn't an opinion that everyone shares, but to me, Satan felt emotionally artificial sometimes in the original game (more on that below).* He felt kind of awkward and like he wanted to connect with MC but something was blocking the kind of connection they develop with some of the other brothers. (Disclaimer: I've only done season 1 of OG, so I can't speak to how he's characterized later on. I know, I know, shame. But I'm trying my best.) Getting to see what Satan is like when he doesn't have any control over his emotions makes the stiffness and artificiality make more sense to me, and they become admirable because we get to see just how hard it is for him to get everything under control.

I think they did a really good job with the pacing of his development in NB too. Satan in Lesson 1 and Satan in Lesson 19 are different, but there isn't a moment where he suddenly starts controlling his emotions better. I think there's a lot going on behind the scenes with him as far as his emotional growth and self control are concerned.

Also let's not forget some very important things about Satan that make him, IMO, one of the most interesting characters to work with as a writer:

Satan was never an angel; he had no fall from grace.

Satan was created from Lucifer's wrath---he is literally the product of trauma and self-mutilation.

Satan is significantly younger than his brothers.

He spent the first year of his life more or less trapped in a castle with his deeply emotionally wounded brothers.

He has a deep resentment towards Lucifer that sometimes defies reason---he wishes he didn't dedicate so much of his time and energy to him, but it's basically a compulsion.

He hates his deep association with Lucifer, and he hates that he has a lot in common with him.

And these lead me to some headcanons that live rent-free in my brain every day of my life.

Satan sees himself as a reminder of the Great Celestial War and everything his brothers lost in it, including Lilith.

He is divine retribution against Lucifer for his failure, for leading his brothers to failure, for letting his sister die.

He acts as a counterbalance to Lucifer's pride by bearing the weight of the shame that Lucifer can't fully accept now that he is the Avatar of Pride. Even if Lucifer pushes it out of his mind, Satan never forgets that he failed in the worst way possible.

His biggest aspiration is to become a full and complete person outside of any association he has with Lucifer. He feels like some sort of parasitic tumor that exists only in opposition to his brother, and he wants desperately to escape that role that he feels he was born into.

Anyway, Satan is great, hail Satan, all that good stuff. Did you know I have a lot of thoughts and opinions about Satan? I know, shocking. For more of my takes here's my fic about him (on AO3).

*I think Satan almost metaphorically represents certain elements of autism---emotions that don't come out the way you intend, masking and its limitations, hyperfixations that are barely under control. In Fandom Discourse(TM) there's sometimes a level of focus on more 'cutesy' autistic traits that we find endearing in characters, like social obliviousness and gleefully indulged hyperfixations. But emotional control, emotional masking, emotional seepage, emotional artificiality---these are also real and messy and often times they aren't cute and they're uncomfortable to see in yourself or in someone else. I really don't like diagnosing characters so I'm not about to claim Satan "is" autistic, but as someone who has been called essentially 'spectrum adjacent' by doctors, I relate to the awkwardness and the desire to appear normal despite knowing you're not and emotions spilling out in ugly ways---um. That got really long and personal.

Love your writing! Could you do some headcanons for Nostalgia Max! Brett?

Nostalgia Max!Brett Hand x GN!Reader:

Warnings: canon typical violence/shenanigans, childhood trauma, family trauma, bad childhood, canon backstory + some additional opinions and insight

Content: a lil angsty ig? SFW and more general headcanons rather than anything super specific or

- okay so he’s always been lovable himbo, not a thought in his brain, but Nostalgia Max Brett? Thoughts be rolling.

- this is all with the context or at least pretense that Brett didn’t take over that town and trapped the gang in the 80’s — BUT I’m going to work the concept of him still having the powers and using them or being affected by them

- watching Brett getting taken over by whatever chemicals and chem trails were within the Nostalgia Max brew was frightening, deeply and concerning, setting that chill through your bones like an ice cube rattling in your spinal column.

- you were so relieved when Reagan got him to calm down and go back to normal, or - well, at least what you thought was normal. The lot of you head back to work afterwards, tired and ready for sleep in the modern age and tired of feeling like you got trapped as extras in a Stranger Things episode.

- except you don’t go home just yet, you’re fretting over Brett who insists he’s fine and feeling okay but his eyes are twinkling green, swirling neon hues of emerald and peridot unnerving you. You and Reagan take him down to her lab, letting her run tests as you pace back and forth and warily eye the still-displayed parts of Robotus that linger on the walls, trying to calm before you roll yourself into a panic attack.

- turns out he’s fine, no radiation threats or concerns to worry about, but he’s now got powers. So much for halting that Stranger Things feeling. Brett and Reagan don’t know how they’ll manifest, but it’s something time will demonstrate. For now he gets to go home and he doesn’t go to his, he goes back to yours, shushing your worries and holding you close.

- that glint in his eyes fades away from the forefront of your mind, other worries and occupational concerns taking place until you’re all on another ill fated fieldtrip and off doing something else for the company, and you get held up in the crossfire. There’s a series of guns pointed at you, sadly not the first nor last time this occurs, but disheartening nonetheless.

- Everyone’s trying to calm down the situation and make sure you get out unscathed and nobody realizes Brett’s panicking until he’s not anymore. He’s eerily calm and staring straight ahead with fists clenched, Reagan goes to grab his shoulder to talk about how to get you out but she’s met with those acid green eyes, like green apple candy, and a cold expression so neutral it’s unnatural on Brett’s usually grinning visage.

- it’s so fucked it’s just beyond

- he just waves a hand and this glow, that watery green that looks like seepage straight from a nuclear reactor cooling pond, just whips in a wet thwick that sends necks angled cruelly, snapped with as much ease as breaking a pencil, and guns clattering to the ground.

- Brett’s blinking blearily before shaking his head, hair that was once floating now resting back on his head in a disheveled style as he races towards you and envelops you in his arms, making sure you’re okay and unscathed.

- meanwhile Glenn’s using every single southernism cursing phrase he knows, confused to all fuck, Andre and Myc are just both entertained and mindfucked thinking they roofied again, Gigi’s popping an antacid and a sedative muttering about how she should’ve got to work for the Illuminati, and Reagan’s going around to inspect the crooked bodies and talking to herself as she makes notes aloud, wondering just how this power has manifested.

- Reagan does find it very fitting that the powers manifested in a time of great stress, the second you were put in danger. God is he an utter fucking himbo.

- it’s not a power Brett can fully control, it kinda sets him into a subconscious state where it’s not a part of his mind that’s fully aware, but it’s sparked by very strong emotions, threats, and feelings of danger around him or directed at him. He likes to joke he’s got a nostalgia-sense instead of a spidey-sense but you’re still reeling and wondering why he’s now just a bit more attractive. (it’s the messy hair you’d never seen it, plus he killed for you and that’s also something)

[sleepytoycollection]

How do you store your dolls so theu don't get damaged by storage?

depends on the doll, but generally wrapping them in paper and/or bubble wrap, putting them in a sturdy box, and praying for the best. I also try to check in on them every so often to make sure nothing's happened

I've also heard wine/ornament storage boxes are very good for dolls since they have built in spacers to keep dolls from touching, but I haven't personally used them.

There's really no perfect solution though, especially when dolls can have issues outside of your control. (Glue seepage, plasticizer leakage, degrading pleather, staining from clothes, ect)

Some people store their dolls nude to avoid the possible stain issue, and if there's a possibility they might have glue head it's good to treat it before storing them away if you can.

Hair nets are good to have if your doll has curls you'd like not to get messy.

There's no perfect solution though, mostly you just don't want them to touch each other directly, keep them out of humid environments, and again, it's good to check in on them regularly to make sure nothing's happening.

[caluski]

good things report 🎉 two days ago on vinted i found a clothing piece my beloved doll is missing that i lost like five years ago and nobody sells, after five years of searching i had given up (even started trying to sew a copy for her, which was going awfully so i gave up), and lo and behold, half a decade of searching over because i got bored and checked vinted! this joy cost me 9.60zl. on that note i've started restoring my doll in preparation for completing her, and it's pretty fun. currently working on purging the glue seepage from her hair :-)

also on tuesday had a lovely time cooking curry at my friend's house in the dark because korki wywaliło (power outage? i dont know) and it was like 10pm. thankfulky she has a gas stove and it was so much fun trying to cut vegetables and cook in the dark, with just a few tiny candles. one person had to do the stirring and heat control, another had to stand next to them and hold a phone flashlight over the pot so we see anything (but not constantly, you see we had to save battery), and the third one would fetch things when needed (salt, utensils, pouring water into the pot etc). it was very fun, and though im constantly exhausted since months i'm happy there's so many good things still. here's a picture of our curry!

LOL ur good haha

It sounds super nice honestly and especially the curry in the dark...... How romantic!!! How sweet!!!! Hope dinner turned out delicious!!!!

Innovating Beneath the Surface: Unlocking the Secrets of Oil Well Drilling

The relentless pursuit of oil, a vital resource that powers industries and vehicles worldwide, has led to the development of complex and sophisticated oil drilling technologies. From the rudimentary tools used in ancient civilizations to the high-tech rigs of today, the journey of oil well drilling is a narrative of innovation, engineering brilliance, and an unyielding quest for improvement. This article explores the transformative technologies and methodologies that have redefined oil well drilling, revealing the secrets behind the industry's ability to tap into the earth's most elusive natural reservoirs.

Ancient Beginnings: The Early Art of Oil Extraction

The quest for oil dates back to ancient times when early civilizations used surface seepages for waterproofing, medicinal purposes, and illumination. In China, as early as 347 AD, workers used bamboo poles to extract oil, a primitive yet ingenious method of the time. These early endeavors laid the groundwork for the development of more sophisticated drilling techniques.

The Dawn of Modern Drilling: Edwin Drake's Revolutionary Well

The modern era of oil drilling began in 1859 when Edwin L. Drake drilled the first successful oil well in Titusville, Pennsylvania. Utilizing a steam engine, Drake and his team managed to drill down to a depth of 69 feet, striking oil and setting the stage for the global oil rush. This groundbreaking event demonstrated the potential of drilling as a viable method for large-scale oil extraction and paved the way for rapid technological advancements.

The Rotary Revolution: A New Era in Drilling

The introduction of rotary drilling in the late 19th century marked a significant technological leap. The rotary drill, which uses a rotating drill bit to bore through the earth, allowed for deeper and faster drilling, making it possible to reach oil reservoirs that were previously inaccessible. This method became the foundation of modern oil exploration and is still widely used today with various enhancements.

Going Offshore: Conquering the Maritime Frontiers

As onshore oil wells began to deplete, the industry turned its sights to the oceans. In 1947, Kerr-McGee drilled the first offshore oil well out of sight of land in the Gulf of Mexico, opening up vast new territories for oil exploration. Offshore drilling presented unique challenges, such as deep-water operations and harsh environmental conditions, driving further innovations in drilling technology and platforms.

Hydraulic Fracturing and Horizontal Drilling: Game Changers

The late 20th century brought about two of the most significant advancements in oil drilling: hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, involves injecting high-pressure fluid into shale rocks to crack them and release oil and gas. When combined with horizontal drilling, which allows the drill to turn and extend horizontally, these technologies revolutionized the oil industry by making it possible to extract oil from previously unyieldable shale formations.

The Digital Oilfield: Harnessing Data for Enhanced Efficiency

Today, the integration of digital technologies into oil drilling operations is transforming the industry. The digital oilfield uses sensors, data analytics, and automation to optimize drilling processes, enhance safety, and minimize environmental impact. Real-time data monitoring allows for precise control over drilling operations, predictive maintenance, and better decision-making, leading to more efficient and cost-effective operations.

The Environmental Shift: Towards Cleaner Drilling Practices

As environmental concerns over fossil fuel extraction grow, the oil industry is under increasing pressure to develop cleaner and more sustainable drilling practices. Innovations such as reduced-flare technologies, advanced water recycling systems, and the use of non-toxic drilling fluids are making oil drilling less environmentally damaging. Additionally, efforts to improve the efficiency of oil wells help reduce the overall environmental footprint by extracting more oil with fewer wells.

Looking to the Future: The Next Frontier in Oil Drilling

The future of oil well drilling will likely involve a combination of further technological advancements and increased regulatory scrutiny. Innovations such as automated drilling robots, advanced seismic imaging techniques, and enhanced oil recovery methods using CO2 or microbes are on the horizon. Moreover, as the global energy landscape shifts towards renewable sources, the oil industry is exploring ways to integrate these technologies to reduce reliance on conventional oil reserves.

The secrets of oil well drilling have been progressively unlocked through centuries of innovation, driven by the dual demands of resource extraction and environmental stewardship. As the industry moves forward, it faces the challenge of adapting to the evolving energy needs of a changing world, promising a future where the secrets of the earth's depths continue to yield technological marvels.

This blog will discuss the value of waterproofing basements, the various approaches that are available, and the main advantages of being proactive.

Why Is Basement Waterproofing Important?

Since basements are below ground level, they are very vulnerable to moisture and water seepage. A basement that has water intrusion may experience the following problems:

Structural Damage: The foundation becomes weakened by repeated exposure to water, which causes cracks and instability.

Growth of Mold and Mildew: Moisture provides a conducive environment for the growth of mold and mildew, which can lead to health concerns such respiratory disorders.

Diminished Property worth: 

A wet basement lowers your home's overall worth and makes it more challenging to sell in the future.Ruined Belongings: Water damage might result in a monetary loss for any electronics, furniture, or stored goods in the basement.

You may avoid these possible issues and create a dry, secure living or storage area by waterproofing your basement.

Various Basement Waterproofing Techniques:

A basement can be waterproofed using a variety of techniques, from do-it-yourself projects to expert installations. The degree of the water issue and your financial situation will determine which choice is best for you.

Sealants for Interior Waterproofing:

Interior sealants are frequently used to address small moisture issues. These are used on the floors and walls of basements to stop moisture from leaking in.

Advantages: affordable and simple to use.

Cons: In cases of extreme flooding or high water intrusion, it might not be effective.

External Waterproofing:

This entails digging a hole around your home's foundation and coating or adding a waterproof membrane to the outside walls. It offers a permanent fix to stop water from getting into the basement.

Advantages: Excellent at preventing water intrusion and safeguarding the foundation.

Cons: Expensive and necessitates expert installation.

Systems of Interior Drainage:

In order to collect and divert water away from the house, an interior drainage system—also referred to as a sump pump system or a French drain—is constructed inside the basement.

Advantages: Good at controlling water that has already seeped into the basement.

Cons: Water does not cease flowing rather than going through the basement, but does so after the fact.

Paints that provide a moisture barrier to interior walls are called waterproofing paints. They are inexpensive and easy to install, but they are usually limited to basements with mild moisture problems.

Positives: Affordable and simple to use.

Cons: For basements with significant water infiltration, this is not a long-term solution.

Benefits of Basement Waterproofing

Prevents Flooding: Waterproofing ensures that your basement stays dry, even during heavy rains or snowmelt, preventing flooding and associated damage.

Improves Air Quality: A dry basement reduces the chances of mold growth, improving the air quality in your home and making it a healthier environment for your family.

The Benefits of Introducing Window Wells

With regards to home wellbeing and upkeep, window wells are a fundamental yet frequently ignored part. These semi-roundabout or rectangular designs, introduced around cellar windows, fill a double need: they give insurance and improve normal light. Here's the reason window wells are an important expansion to any home.

Expanded Regular Light

Window wells permit more daylight to enter cellar windows, making frequently dull, underground spaces more splendid and really inviting. With expanded light, property holders can make utilitarian and stylishly satisfying storm cellars.

Improved Storm cellar Ventilation

Appropriate ventilation is significant for keeping up with air quality in cellars, particularly since these areas are inclined to clamminess and unfortunate wind stream. Window wells work with ventilation, permitting natural air to course while forestalling dampness development.

Water Waste

One of the main advantages of window wells is their capacity to redirect water from storm cellar windows. Numerous window wells come furnished with seepage frameworks that immediate water and groundwater away from the establishment, forestalling cellar flooding and water harm.

Assurance from Garbage

Window wells go about as a boundary against garbage, like leaves, soil, and snow, that can collect around storm cellar windows. This forestalls blockages in waste frameworks and lessens the gamble of window harm.

Improved Wellbeing

In the event of a crisis, window wells give a protected departure course from the cellar. Many are planned with stepping stools or moves toward work with simple exit, particularly in homes with storm cellar rooms or residing spaces that require departure windows by regulation.

Tasteful Allure

Current window wells come in different styles and materials, permitting mortgage holders to upgrade the presence of their cellar outsides. Ornamental window wells can further develop the general control allure of a property, particularly when matched with finishing.

Forestalling Soil Disintegration

By redirecting water from the establishment, window wells assist with forestalling soil disintegration around the home's edge. This keeps up with the underlying respectability of the establishment, lessening the requirement for exorbitant fixes.

Picking the Right Window Well

While choosing a window well, it's critical to consider factors like size, material, and seepage choices. Steel and plastic window wells are famous for their strength and low support.
