#I'm obsessed with this crew

[ai-sun]

The twenty two crew members of the Heart Pirates and their beloved captain

[cosmicwhoreo]

The Captain's Left Hand Staghorn Coral Cookie

Also known infamously as "The Captain's Left Boot Knife", Staghorn Coral Cookie's job first and foremost is to keep the crew in line.

Whether that's as simple as keeping sailors on top of drills and attacks, or even so far as cutting down any mutiny before it can even take root; Staghorn's nothing short of diligent.

But, they aren't without their own mischievous streak. They're just better adept at knowing when and where to use it. And while they also carry their own firearm, they prefer close combat. Choosing to duel-wield knives they've named both "Ahab". (To avoid confusion between the two obviously) Extra below cut

29 year old nonbinary (They/Them)

Was hired by Caviar the same time as Blue Sponge

Like most the crew, they have a tattoo (Of the moon, on their back)

Really into wood carving, which is the *real* reason they always seem to have at least two knives on their person... And They are VERY good at it (plus it's the reason why they have so many scars and cuts along their hands cuz they nick themselves often-)

Short, but has a stocky build hiding under all that cloth

Has a sibling bond with Blue Sponge (they bully each other often)

Nimoytacular/Capsule 7/LNNAF Fan Club Newsletters | Unknown, approx. 1967

I've had these very early fanzine pages saved for a while now, but have been unable to find the source again... It was before I knew I'd start posting and restoring them, and I'm much more careful about saving sources now. Thanks to @the-stars-our-destination, I've gotten as close as I think I'll get with these posts. Date is approximate, but has to be between the second and third season when letter writing campaigns were started to save the show. Thanks to these fans, we have a third season to cherish 💜

more thoughts on TLOVM season 3 episode 3. still insane.

PART TWO: that TLOVM perc'ahlia scene, mostly in terms of its TLOVM context, with some campaign 1 comparisons

spoilers below the cut for TLOVM AND campaign one moments that will likely happen this season lol

her initiating this fling is fascinating to me. we all know vex has a fear of commitment and being hurt by relationships right? EXCEPT!! except, i think this is her trying to deal with that. which is insane but it makes sense for her in TLOVM. To Me.

cause like. in the first two episodes we have MULTIPLE close calls with percy, which are technically happening all in the same day?? and you have vex, who's admitted to a creepy fey and herself that her heart is not her own, who takes these, processes these, and says, "thinking i lost him even now was awful; if i start a relationship with him, it will only hurt me 100 times worse in the end. so i'll just fuck him casually and pretend i have no emotions about it whatsoever."

which i think can have TWO possible explanations, yknow beyond the way she's afraid of relationships and considering herself a bad omen - explanations that explain why sex is a line she's willing to cross before emotional confession, almost instead of it, whereas in the campaign she won't cross either.

one: she's trying to convince herself that she can just. make it casual. force it into something different, choke the feelings down until they fade away eventually. i don't have as many thoughts on this idea but it DOES bring me insurmountable pain to think about.

two: she's basically struck a bargain with herself.

after two episodes of multiple close calls with percy, it’s almost like she’s trying to wrestle herself into a deal. she looks at her hungry heart which doesn't belong to her anymore, and is terrified of the decision it wants to make, terrified of the idea of a relationship with percy that will one day crumble, and she says, “okay. one thing. we can have one thing. we can have a casual fling, some friends with benefits, we’ll know what it’s like to kiss him and have sex with him and even wake up next to him but that’s it. we’ll pretend we’re asleep in the morning. we’ll distance ourself from him the next day. we’ll pull back, keep enough of a barrier to not let him any closer, but sex can be casual, right? it doesn’t have to mean anything. it won't mean anything. it's casual.”

and even then it’s only “casual” in the sense that they’ve agreed not to say anything about how they feel. they both know how the other feels, they’ve said it in every way you could without explicitly saying i love you. percy downright admits that he feels something and knows there is something between them and he wants emotional connection. vex says that she cares for him, that she can’t say what he wants to hear, and that everyone she’s ever loved, it ends badly - implying, all but directly saying, that he’s one of those people!! she ends up admitting it even more directly than he does!!!! this is so sad it’s almost hilarious. they’re both admitting and committing to the facade of a casual fling. vex because she’s terrified, and percy because he would do anything for her.

she would rather have a facade of a casual relationship, would rather ask percy to help her lie, help her pretend this means nothing, even as she lies there and admits that it does mean something but she's too scared to let it become anything significant. and even that statement, where she refuses to show vulnerability, is showing so much vulnerability. she's trusting percy with this fear she's kept close to her chest, she's trusting percy with her fear of trust. asking percy to hold that fear and keep it safe, hold it close to his chest, right where his heart sits. where her heart sits, now. the amount of trust it takes to do that. the way those words had to be clawed out of her, only when she was lying down, hurt, and couldn't run anymore. she trusts percy with this thing she's only trusted her brother with, if that - and at the same time, she can't even trust herself with loving and being loved without ruining it all.

it’s like. if she doesn’t get too close, it won’t hurt as much when he eventually, inevitably, leaves. whether he dies or walks away or makes a deal with a demon or a death goddess or whatever, he will leave, because they always leave, and the further she is, the less distance she’ll have to fall from. the softer the landing will be.

and then, if this is going the way i think it is, if we are building up to glintshore and the resurrection, then it won’t be soft at all. percy is going to die, and it is going to hurt vex so fucking horribly, and the distance will have meant nothing. all it will do is give her less memories to hold onto, now that he's gone. she will not hurt for the size of the hole in her heart, but rather for the lack of memory she has to fill it. a hole torn further open by the weight of the breadth of love unspent.

and then they're going to try and bring him back. and she will beg for another chance to do it right this time. she will give him her heart and everything she has, because she tried to do the casual distance, and she's learned that it hadn't done anything but hurt the both of them.

but she's not going to make that same mistake again.

I was curious about the rumored What We Do in the Shadows finale schedule and went over to the FX website to look for myself, and on the schedule it looks like they changed the listings to now read:

The Finale

The Finale.

and

The Finale..

with all of the descriptions now the same, but the episodes still listed as 11, 12, and 13, and all of them tagged as 'New.'

I'm so curious what they're gonna do???
