#tides and tales

[rebfile]

In the languid haze of a coastal paradise, there existed a realm where the sun cast golden nets over the azure sea. It was here that the enigmatic Solana found her solace, her soul as intertwined with the beach as the tides to the moon. With a wide-brimmed hat adorned with the soft hues of summer blossoms, she was a vision of the season's quintessence.

Solana had a knack for capturing the essence of summer's fleeting kiss. Her bikini, a cascade of mellow yellow adorned with blooms, was tied with a knot that held the secrets of the endless blue skies. Each day, as she wandered along the water's edge, the sun seemed to play a delicate game of hide and seek, casting her shadow upon the sands like an ethereal companion.

She was the keeper of whispered beachside confessions and the silent laughter of the seashells. As Solana gazed into the horizon, her eyes held stories of sunken ships and whispered love letters sealed in bottles. With the grace of the gentle breeze and the strength of the tides, she was as much a part of the beach as the sands themselves.

See someone's got to tell the tale, whether or not it turns out well

Maybe it will turn out this time

Getting back into traditional painting with my pirates obsession :)

[i-put-the-ass-into-sass]

has anything ever been crafted as perfectly as the pirates of the caribbean soundtrack? i genuinely mean it. every single piece on each of the five albums is not just a banger, it gets the blood flowing to my brain, it lifts my spirits in a way i'm afraid nothing else can anymore

[princess-caspian]

ok but why is the very idea of pirates of the Caribbean such a turn on like it makes me YEARN to be a woman with a pirate ship and a big silly hat and amazing boots but also to have Elizabeth Swann’s hair how do I tell the adult world I know what I want to be when I grow up but that kind of piracy (stylish adventure hair flowing kind) isn’t really accessible in this day and age

Tales Of Oceans and Shadows

(I’ve been dying to post this! It’s been on my drafts for so long, and I missed my babies so much!)

Just some little stories I imagined about Kallistrade and Azriel’s life after the end of Dark Tides.

Oh, Sweet Baby Nyx

summary: little nyx loves his aunt kallistrade, and gets really sad when she has to leave because of her busy pirate life, this time, he will definitely throw a tantrum about it.

Kallistrade wasn’t very good with little kids, she seemed to scare them, even tho she didn’t intended to do so. But when little Nyx arrived to her life, something changed for her.

It had happened the first time she stayed alone with him. Feyre was dead tired after barely any sleep because Nyx had had a rough night. Kallistrade had just arrived of a little trip to Skull Island she had taken of emergency for some issues that needed her urgent attention. She went straight to visit Feyre, and the poor female fell asleep immediately after placing Nyx in Kallistrade’s arms.

She hadn’t known what to do at first, she had even felt scared, not knowing if she was holding the baby right. But she hadn’t wanted to wake Feyre up, so instead went to look for Rhys. Kallistrade found the male sound asleep in his office desk, dead tired too. So she sent a panic alert down the mating bond to Azriel, begging the male showed up quickly.

Nyx had started to babble as if he was seconds away of bursting in tears, and Kallistrade had panicked even more.

“No, no. Don’t you dare, little kraken, don’t. you. dare,” she hadn’t known what she expected to achieve by threatening or pointing him out as if he was one of her crew members, but it had definitely not been that the little baby started smiling at her, and grabbed her finger in his tiny ones to start chewing on it.

She had been at a loss of words, completely shocked by the simplicity yet magnificent moment of the baby smiling up at her.

She immediately felt a protectiveness in her she hadn’t felt before, like that little baby had become something she would cherish and protect against any evil from the darkest and deepest of seas from now on and until the oceans completely dried.

Azriel had arrived just then, and when he had said he could take care of Nyx if she wanted to, Kallistrade immediately rejected his offer and walked away with the baby, telling little Nyx all the things she would show him one day when he grew up, all the seas she would take him to.

They had become inseparable since then. Nyx had fallen completely in love with his aunt, and the only time anyone would catch the mighty and dreaded Captain Devilsbane showing off her sweet bone, was when she was with her nephew.

But that had only made goodbyes even harder. As Kallistrade was regularly traveling all throughout the continent.

“Who would’ve said, that the oh-so-mighty Captain Devilsbane would have such a soft spot for babies,” Azriel laughed, leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed over his chest, and a broad smile while looking at his mate and nephew playing together.

“Don’t say that, he gets jealous, it’s only with this sweet little baby, right, little kraken? Only with you,” she approached the baby with a childlike smile on her face, while lowering her tone of voice ever so slightly.

“Softie,” Azriel mocked, and Kallistrade sent him a dead glare, nothing compared to her previous smile.

“Shut up, I saw you yesterday doing an airplane with a spoon to get him to eat,” the smile in Azriel’s face vanished, and it was Kallistrade’s turn to smiled proudly.

“We’re not talking about this with anyone.”

“Ever,” she laughed, confirming.

They both could have the biggest soft spot for Nyx, but like hell they would willingly admit it to their mocking friends.

It had been their night to take care of Nyx, since Kallistrade was leaving today for a mission in the western part of the Continent, they had offered to babysit so Rhys and Feyre could get a day off.

It was not often that they did babysit all day, since their house turned into a mad house with neither of them knowing what to do in some situations, but Kallistrade always missed her nephew when she was away, so having him a day —even tho it was always a hell of a ride—, didn’t hurt from time to time.

They would not be doing it again tho, in a long, long time. Nyx had recently learn how to walk, and it had progressively gotten worst when he started running. She had never ran so much in circles trying to catch a baby like last night. And Azriel had had to make his shadows envelop Nyx at all times in case he fell or ran into something. Poor shadows had gotten many hits, and they too didn’t want to repeat the occasion again.

“How was it?” When they arrived to the River Estate to drop Nyx off, Rhys had a cheeky smile on his lips when he saw how tired they looked.

“You are a-” Feyre raised an eyebrow to Kallistrade, reminding her of the presence of the little baby. “A son of the holy Cauldron and Mother. A warning that he could run now would’ve been nice!”

Rhysand laughed, taking his son in his arms and looking at him with proudness shining like starts in his night-sky eyes.

“I did not mentioned it?”

“No, you didn’t.”

“Ups, my bad.”

“You’re lucky Nyx is present, because I have a ton of colorful words to describe you right now.”

Rhysand laughed again, and left a sonorous kiss on his son’s head, that made the little toddler laugh.

“We’re sorry,” Feyre said with a smile, shining so glowy that Kallistrade couldn’t help but wink at her friend who had most certainly had sex.

“You’re forgiven. Considering I’m leaving now, and I’m gonna miss this little one.”

Nyx immediately stoped smiling at his father and turned his head to his aunt when he heard the word “leaving”.

“Aunt Lis, no!” He cried, and tried to reach out for her.

“Oh, I’m sorry, little kraken, I have work to do, and people to scare,” that did not help at all, and Nyx started crying for his aunt, so much so that Rhys had to let him go. “I promise I will be back soon with many many presents, ok?” When Kallistrade took the baby, she rocked him in her arms, trying to calm the salty tears that fell over his chubby cheeks.

And sure as hell she would live up to that promise. As she always did. There wasn’t a single travel, as small as it may be, where Kallistrade did not bring her nephew a ton of presents.

“Come on, now, sweetie, your aunt has to go,” Feyre picked up her son from the pirate’s arms and smiled adoringly as she watched her son shake one his little hands while wiping his tears with the other.

“Bye bye, aunt Lis,” his little sobs made all the three adults’ hearts melt.

Kallistrade lowered her hat in farewell to her nephew and his parents, Rhys and Feyre smiled at her and wished her a safe travel before turning around to go back home. While Azriel kissed his mate one last time before she boarded her ship.

Little Nyx watched with read eyes as his aunts ship sailed away, and he did not stay happy about it.

𓆉｡˚ ✧

“Rhys!” When Rhysand heard his mate scream out for him, he stood up from his desk so fast his chair fell to the floor and stormed out of his office with Azriel and Cassian following right behind him.

The three of them had been sharing a drink when they heard Feyre’s scream, and now stormed to Nyx’s nursery, where the female was.

“Feyre!” When Rhys bursted in, he saw his High Lady looking exasperated everywhere, and his baby was nowhere to be seen. “What happened?”

“He did it!” She said without even looking at the three males that looked confused.

“He did what, darling?” Mor, Elain and Amren had soon arrived, and were looking as worried as the three Illyrians.

“Nyx! He learned how to winnow! And now I can’t find him anywhere.”

Oh, good Mother…

Everyone looked at each other and sighed, they gad been dreading this day for months now.

They all took a different part of the estate to search, and Feyre alerted Nesta via daementi to look out wherever she could as well. Now practically everyone was in desperate search of the little heir.

“He’s not anywhere! I can’t find him!” Feyre desperately said after some time of looking.

“Feyre darling, calm down, we’ll-“

“Blimey, this kid learns fast,” both Feyre and Rhys heard on their heads, and instantly recognized that pirate slang. “Relax, he’s with me, landed right on my freshly washed deck.”

Both parents relaxed significantly, embracing each other with heavy sighs. When they parted, Feyre couldn’t help but to start laughing, and Rhysand followed right away.

“Did you find…? Uhhh, what’s going on?” Cassian entered the room with Azriel, then the others came in too with confused expressions.

“Have they…lost it?” Questioned Mor, and they all looked at each other as if confirming that theory.

“It’s ok, guys, don’t fall into insanity, we’ll find him,” Cassian tried to speak over the laughter of his High Lord and Lady.

“Don’t worry,” Feyre calmed her laughter to speak to the group. “He’s ok.”

“Did you find him?” Azriel asked, looking around for his nephew.

“No, Lis did. Or more like he found her.”

𓆉｡˚ ✧

“I want to see my own reflection in this floors, Gio,” Kallistrade ordered to the male mopping. “For the next you think it’s a good idea to throw up on my deck after too much rum, you think it twice.”

“Aye aye, Captain,” the male grunted, surely with a hangover.

Kallistrade went to check on the weather report with Maddox, when suddenly, a loud cry made everyone on deck turn their attention away.

“Mother’s tits!”

Kallistrade rushed to Gio, founding the great surprise of a little giggling toddler sliding in the wet wood of the deck.

“I’m sorry, Captain, he yest appeared outa nowhere,” the male pointed at the winged toddler, and Kallistrade couldn’t help but burst out into laughter.

She went to pick up the child, whose face went red when his aunt lifted him, giving her a look that said he knew he had done something bad.

“You naughty little sea monster.”

She informed Rhys and Feyre, who surely were losing their minds, that Nyx was with her, and after hey told her Azriel would be there soon to pick him up, she took the little boy to her cabin and sat him at her desk.

Nyx had grabbed her hat and put it on himself, and the sight of it was enough to make Kallistrade’s ruthless heart melt.

“I want to travel the seas with you, aunt Lis!” The child mumbled, and Kallistrade laughed sweetly, while she watched him try to use her telescope.

“On day you will, my little kraken, one day you will.”

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017, Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg)

22/06/2024

[crazy-meringue]

Somewhere in the other world there is a club of victims of the Sparrow

[legolas-fan-blog]

I know this is a Legolas blog but this is kind of related because of Orlando Bloom.

I just rewatched the entire Pirates of the Caribbean series because of watching LOTR and liking Legolas, then remembering Orlando Bloom was Will. I hadn't seen these movies since I was a kid and hardly remembered them. The first three are pretty good and a lot of fun and my queer self enjoyed seeing Will and Elizabeth be hot. The last two are...less good but still fun. Anyway if anyone wants to chat about The Pirates of the Caribbean hit me up.

[annikityk]

In my writing I want to achieve one goal and one goal only: for the amount of polyamorous, gay gay and overall queer vibe to match whatever is going on in the pirates of the Caribbean film series

[master-jarrus]

I made a mistake-!

I listen to Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack while thinking about ninjago

I know I won't write it though

Someone take it from me

Kai and Skylor and Will and Elizabeth in the first movie

I mean he's literally a black smith

And her dad literally runs an island

Garmadon is Jack but he is looking for his son and wife who disappeared

Of course they disappeared after Wu thought in his defense against Garmadon's fits he killed his brother

But he didn't know his brother had intentionally gotten himself cursed so he was undead

Idk much past that for Curse of the Black Pearl

For Dead Man's Chest and At World's End

Roles change a bit

Jay would be Will and Nya would be Elizabeth and Calypso

Nadakhan would be Davey Jones

Delara became one with the sea as a sacrifice to give Nadakhan control of Wojira and her death binds Nadakhan to the sea and wojira

Delara is the sea though and was always with him

But in her binding wojira she cause Nyad to be reborn as Nya

If you seen the movies you can guess where this is going

I actually haven't gotten to watch On Stranger Tides and forward but I know the gist

Lloyd would be Jack Sparrow

Harumi would be Angelica (or whatever Black Beard's daughter's name was in the franchise)

As for Black Beard I think I would do Garmadon possessed by the Overlord but I know I won't actually write this

I know they find the fountain of youth but like in order for one to live forever someone else mist die and I am sure Lloyd would canonically pick Harumi to live forever over his dad especially after Crystalized even if it was the possessed version of his dad

Dead Men Tell No Tales I don't have enough info for so I really can't say what I think would happen and how it would work

It would probably involve Garmadon or Morro though

[justafandomgvrl]

fulfilling my dream of running off to sea by watching the little mermaid (2023), all the pirates of the caribbean films, and the sea beast over and over again, or listening to my bardic sailor playlist on repeat when i’m not home

[misskitka27]

“But you can’t read!”

“It’s the bible, you get credit for trying”

If you really need another reason to rewatch POTC, Pintel and Ragetti are it

[the-twelve-daggers]

a moment of appreciation for THIS particular track

thank you hans zimmer i appreciate you 🙏

[nothoughtsjustmhaandotherthings]

You know I don’t have much to say about the last two POTC movies (I find on stranger tides mildly enjoyable even) but why the ever loving FUCK did they give Jack those fuckass blonde highlights

[grimulf-of-the-wilderness]
