fundamentally pirate media should have found family. if you don’t have a found family trope in your pirate media then you are just not doing it right

Hey, I just wanted to tell you that I adore your posts about you life with your animals and plants! Nothing brings me as much joy as one of your posts appearing on my dashboard!

Have a great start into the new year!

Thank you for the message & wishes! <3 I'm glad you like the posts and I love that you included my plants on equal footing with the animals :) My Christmas cactus lived up to its name for the first time this year, actually blooming on Christmas... The little yellow fox looks so impressed:

Poldine says it's the thought that counts <3

She got a special treat this week! I told my New Year visitors that (on account of my Christmas Broom) my herbivores wouldn't get to eat a Christmas tree this year, so they came with a couple of bags filled with the chopped-up remains of their own tree :)

But Pampe wasn't fast enough (she only fully trusts muesli) and as she was cautiously inspecting her first branch, her daughter materialised next to her and claimed it.

Best wishes to everyone for the new year!

love that goodsir is consistently better at killing than at curing anyone. like i understand there really wasn't much he could do abt the scurvy or the lead poisoning or anything but. truly he does have a godawful track record. lives saved on this expedition: -12

the more i think about it the more certain i am that outside of their only interaction in episode 4 hickey did not waste a single bit of storage space on trying to remember who fitzjames was. straight up refused to expend any object permanence on the guy. if crozier had asked him "are those fitzjames' boots?" in episode 10 i'm convinced that hickey would've just said Whos Fitzjames

i don't really get simpatico but i would love to understand it more bc its such a big part of transformers now. if you're willing, you can do that big post on simpatico here?? if you wanna??? i'd really appreciate the help 🥺👉👈

The thing with Simpatico is that i didn't exactly Get it at first too, most of my exposure was through fan content and reading the thing i was just Yeah it Makes Sense people ship this, but then it kind of bestowed on me more how these two people are just two parts fitting together perfectly in a way they wouldn't with others, and it's not even inherently Romantic to me, even if i see them as very much in love and conjunxed post MTMTE/LL story.

Their relationship is quite silly in the context at first. Brainstorm's profile calls him a conflicted Perceptor fanboy. The only thing we get, up to this point, is his Annoyance with how his genius is overshadowed by Perceptor. While Perceptor doesn't seem to give him his time of day at all, more concerned with his work and what Rodimus wants from him than what Brainstorm is up to.

It's honestly just my personal interpretation of either characters, but Perceptor is finally allowed to fullly get back to science again, he's not expected to be holding his sniper rifle (even though he was never expected to! He had himself believe that holding a weapon will make him of more value!), while Brainstorm is there with his own super secret super important agenda.

Brainstorm is, apparently, an MTO, while we don't know what for, but MTOs have a very sad track record and usually have a lot of baggage as they're usually "born" and then kicked into the heat of battle, barely having any chance to learn who they are, just what they're for. Yet Brainstorm has never killed anyone - and despite that, he's still LIED about being an MTO.

Here they're talking about the concept of Constructed Cold, but there were TWO waves of them - pre-war and post-war. What Brainstorm is talking about he was not even born to witness yet.

They're both people who, one way or the other, "defying" what they are. It's a common theme with tf ships for me, but in case with this, it's Perceptor believing that he has to be more, and at the point of MTMTE, perhaps, not feeling entirely whole, and Brainstorm WANTING to be someone He actually Wants to Be.

Brainstorm feels threatened when his intellect is belittled by people calling Perceptor the genius. Brainstorm is quite egotistical and selfish, but it all ends up being just a facade, just as much Perceptor's cold and perfect exterior he cultivated throughout years during the war, of someone he thought his side needed.

Up until Brainstorm's time travel shenanigans, we saw them interacting sometimes, and a lot of the time, it was Brainstorm trying to impress Perceptor somehow, or just being himself that draws attention of Percy nevertheless.

And then we see Percy smiling the most he's ever smiled throughout the comic, calling Brainstorm a genius himself, impressed by the intricate work of Brainstorm.

Perceptor gets up to clap for Brainstorm at his trial, and i think it's the moment that sold Perceptor for his respect to Brainstorm. Everything he ever knew about Brainstorm - the careless egotistical and cowardly scientist - turned out to be nothing but means to an end, making way to a dedicated, caring, kind and brilliant person into his mind.

I think their finale just says it all regarding these two, honestly.

"I always wanted recognition for what I am."

"Me too."

Brainstorm spent his life on science and to be recognized. He didn't hide the fact he's an MTO just because. He wants to be seen for his achievements. Perceptor's war trauma had him feel useless to his comrades, who's "purpose", who's Genius, was ultimately the thing people saw in him, brushing off his personal achievements, maybe even the fact he could be more, his person, the way he feels Brainstorm could understand, too.

They're simpatico for a reason, and its just one of them, but pretty crucial and at the very core of why they're so compatible.

While i understand simply thinking of them as "science duo" they're so so much more than that.

so as far as i can tell, he got hit with a moment of Existential Panic And Misery and then wrote down his account of his entire sailing career to add in next to his issued ID papers in the wallet. so if the wallet survived then we would know who he was. thanks bestie the clues did help.

If you haven’t read this story by EmilyCare yet, it's oh-so-fantastic!

Check out this selection:

"Curling, luscious raven-black hair. A contrasting pale, angular face. With long dramatic lines of nose, brow and cheek that drew and riveted the eye. Arched, plush lips a dusky rose. Ice blue eyes traced with other hues begging a lover’s gaze to map endlessly. His ivory neck disappearing into a ruthlessly fitted pale blue shirt which was dashingly rumpled at the end of this long work day. Buttons undone at the neck teased a peep show of luminous chest. Cuffs rolled up high exposing surprisingly muscular arms and - breaking the pre-Raphaelite vision, but visible to John's trained eye - faint scars at the dimple of inner elbow attesting to past, repeated injection of drugs. The man looked beautiful. Unearthly. But there was something vulnerable about him. The skin a bit too translucent. The eyes dark with strain. "

Just thinking about the foreshadowing in the first 3 episodes of The Terror again as to Goodsir’s fate, what with him performing the autopsy on David Young and trying to save Silna’s dad. How Stanley identifies him as ‘lesser’ (or even ‘other’) due to his training as an anatomist. And just how Goodsir recognizes the bodies he works on as people still even as he’s cutting into them. He was coded as ‘The Butcher’ from the beginning but was fighting against it the whole time
