captain ahab is one of the characters of all time.

he’s full of hubris. he’s an amputee. he said he’d punch the sun. he once was in a coma for three days straight. he was prophecized to lose his leg and in response decided to make his own prophecy that he would kill the thing that did it. he would fight god. he’s in love with his first mate who he also threatened at gunpoint. he used the same gun as a cane. he tells his second mate to go fuck himself. he was sent back out to sea immediately after losing his leg without the chance to heal. he chooses to go on whalehunts instead of staying on the ship despite having no reason to as the captain, something that is doubly dangerous for him on account of the whole leg thing. he once was in a deadly swordfight with a spaniard. his method of encouraging his oarsmen is to swear at them profusely, which was censored by ishmael for the good christian audience. he spent one (1) night with his wife after marrying her and then immediately fucked back off to sea. he’s an orphan, and this is the least tragic thing about him. he’s named after an evil biblical king. his best friend is a persian stowaway who tells him how he’s going to die. he hears he’s going to die by rope and immediately assumes it’ll be the gallows, ignoring the fact that he’s on a ship full of ropes, and also being surprisingly chill with the concept of himself being sentenced to capital punishment. like yeah, that sounds like something i’d do. having gay sex with his first mate WOULD fix him AND the entire plot of the story. he adopts the cabin boy for funsies. allowing himself human connection with the cabin boy WOULD fix him and the story, and he acknowledges this out loud while actively avoiding it. he worships fire. he was even gay.

You guys want to see something cool?

This is my six-times great-grandfather’s signature. 

It reads 

Hezekiah Starbuck    This journal Book Bought (at?) Boston in the year of our Lord one thousan Seven hundred And Sevente

It’s the first page of a whaling journal Hezekiah kept aboard the Sea Flower in 1770. Not sure what his position on the ship was, but I have the date and the ship’s name so probably I can find out. Also, there’s a goddamn spreadsheet in the back, so that might help. (I’m sure this is standard for this kind of book but I did have a real moment of “Now I know where I get it.”) 

Hezekiah (in this case, Hez Sr., father of my ancestor Hezekiah II) was the last of my line to ship from Nantucket. He eventually moved to North Carolina and from there the family were no longer sailors as far as I know. Hez II died in Iowa and there’s not a lot of ocean in Iowa.

Battlestar Galactica 1.08 "Flesh and Bone"

[notafanboysblog]

Sirius is always doing something. He could be talking out loud, humming an old French tune under his breath or flapping his hands in random gestures.

But when he's so wound up and needs to be grounded, James slips his palm under his hair to the nape of his neck and plays with the baby hairs there.

And no matter where he is or whatever he is doing, Sirius simply melts into a quiet puddle. Safe with James. His James.

based on a screencap from a queer short film sherlock adaptation on youtube (“sherlock holmes and the adventure of the furtive festivity”). another thing i technically drew like two weeks ago but who’s counting

psst you should read my moby dick webcomic

[ID: A digital drawing of Starbuck and Ahab kissing softly, bathed in warm yellow light. Starbuck is a lean white man with light freckled skin and short curly red hair. He has a mustache and scruffy sideburns. He is wearing a cream colored shirt with a deep blue waistcoat and black bow tie. Ahab is a taller, chubby and muscular Persian man with warm brown skin and short, graying dark hair, with a thick beard. He has some scars on his face. He is wearing a white shirt and brown vest with a dark red cravat. He is tugging one of the buttons of Starbuck’s waistcoat closed. They are both smiling into the kiss. Behind them is the impression of a wooden wall.]
