Your local tall ship deckhand (starting in June) that's right! I'm fulfilling my lifelong dream of running away to sea (well technically bay but whatever.)

On this blog you will find a plethora of posts about literally whatever I'm into. 911 Lone Star (and a little bit og 911 but not so much), Leverage and Leverage Redemption, BBC's The Musketeers, Forever(abc), art, sailing and historic tall ships, the list goes on and on. I never shut up about these things, so consider yourself warned.

I might occasionally spit out some fanfiction or fanart, but rarely. AO3 is my_beloved_lakes

I love getting asks and being tagged in tag games and such so feel free to do so!

Waiting (with @rangersoup ) for the Ranger Reyes spinoff since Feb. 3, 2025

My fanart/fanfic master list is here (I don't think it's up to date though)

Do you really plan to hover over me like a mother hen for the next three weeks?

They said you might heal up in ten days, but yeah.

weird how no one ever comments on the absence of smells unprompted. the nose just isn't a topic of conversation unless it's urgent huh

"it's dark in here" normal regular observation

"finally some quiet" relatable exclamation

"doesn't smell like anything in here" absolutely deranged sentence

Note how these columns are designed to perfectly allow the climbing of small lizards up and down their faces. This is a typical example of Gecko-Roman architecture

i kind of love how from the very beginning this show establishes the cruel and often random nature of tragedies. they'd gotten the water to work and everything seemed good, and then the ammonium nitrate is discovered and the explosion happens before the crew has a chance to get out of the way. the fire started because an employee forgot to take the aluminum foil off his burrito before he microwaved it. tragic, random. terrible things like this happen every day.

toward the end of the ep, judd says something to owen about the different reactions to the ways they both lost their crews, owen's being a highly publicized incident that happened in nyc while judd's crew died in a manure fire in texas.

and there's something about that, rewatching the pilot after the show's over, the way so much came from this tragedy. so much meaning, so many lives changed. if it hadn't happened, these people wouldn't have been brought together in austin, wouldn't have made all of these memories. so much would be different. but ultimately, all of it did happen because of a random, tragic event, which is.... how it goes, a lot of the time. there's no sense to be made of it. it didn't happen for a reason, it just happened.

that can be said about so many things on this show, and i really like how the emphasis is not necessarily about deriving a specific, deeper meaning from tragedy, but taking what's broken afterward and doing what's possible. honoring loss and trying to make the most out of every day.
