[ID: A series of Moby Dick themed Valentine’s cards. each has a drawing accompanied by some phrase and “To: / From:” fields. More detailed IDs in alt text for each.]

A day late but happy belated Valentine’s Day 🥰🥰🥰 normally i just repost my Moby Dick Valentines (or Whale-entines, if you will) that i made um. oh god. five years ago. jesus christ. anyway normally i just repost those, but a) those are on my old deleted blog (rip) and b) an upgrade / remaster w my current skills has been long overdue, so here that is, plus some new additions :) so have some new whalentines💖🥰 some cursed, some wholesome, some both. go forth and enjoy

some fun little notes for those interested:

“i’ll make you a pint of sperm richer — but he won’t” in ch 35 ‘the mast head,’ ishmael, referring to himself, warns ship captains to never hire any “romantic, melancholy, and absent-minded young men” (such as himself) (which, also, that’s a valentine in itself tbh. new tinder bio whomst) who spend their watches at the masthead daydreaming rather than looking for whales; they’ll “tow you round the world and never make you one pint of sperm the richer”

“there’s hogsheads of sperm ahead” Is actually a line said by starbuck (despite being the repressed little protestant loser he is /affectionate), in a completely normal context (re: the sperm whale oil they’re hunting). but in This context he’s a little 🧍 standing man emoji. 😌squirm little quakerman squirm

my tash is aroace and they & dag are in a lovely QPP 💖 we love platonic love!!

she moby in my dick until i sperm whale. that’s all

ROADTRIP AU

Starbuck: driver, plagued by the intrusive thoughts of ending it all

Ahab: in the passanger's seat, yells at Starbuck for driving like a pussy (without breaking the law)

Ishmael: points to every cow they pass and says "cows!"

Flask, Dagoo and Queequeg: "McDonalds! McDonalds! McDonalds!"

Pip: left behind at the gas station

queer lens reading of Heggie's adaptation of Moby-Dick. this isn't even a joke or a shitpost, this is extremely serious. a recommendation even. like, there's gotta be someone doing a queer commentary on it.

Summary: What would change about Moby-Dick if the major driving forces of the narrative were women?

How much does this single factor radically alter their choices, their relationships, and their eventual end? What would it take for the women of Starbuck and Ahab to stand in the same places as their male counterparts in the novel? Do they go undercover as men to attain power? How do they feel about that? Why is this the power they seek? Is that power enough to save them?

Or, Moby Dick, reimagined through the lens of Captain Ahab and First Mate Starbuck as butch women.

—

Some months later, after a particular lowering, the aft oarsmen of the Second Mate's boat is injured and unable to row, and the cabin boy Pip is commanded to take his place. On Pip's first lowering, however, he startles upon a brush with a whale and jumps from the boat. Infuriated at the inconvenience of a Black child Stubb deems less valuable than his hunt, Stubb threatens that should he jump from the boat again, he will be left there to drown. But we are all in the hands of God, as Ishmael laments, and Pip jumps again.

Hours later, a call is raised.

At least you will, in all likelihood, be distracted. 😀 Also increases Queequeg's heroism enthusiasm, I suspect.

Totally strange how not a single person would prefer being locked up with one of the crazies though.

[ID: A digital drawing of several Moby Dick characters in a simple, silly style, wearing Halloween costumes. Starbuck wears a full-length purple witch dress complete with a matching hat and broom. Fedallah wears an angel costume with a long dress, wings, and a halo. Ahab and Pip have matching silly whale costumes, worn like carboard box costumes around their torsos with their arms as flippers. Ahab makes a cat smirk and strikes a pose and Pip laughs. Text around the image reads: "happy (late) Halloween!!!" The background is a purple-to-orange gradient. End ID.]

Summary: Tomorrow morning, the sun will dawn upon the White Whale’s inexorable spout, his hump like a snow-hill, and for the next three days Ahab will chase that haunted whale across the horizon till one of them spouts black blood, and all will collapse, and the great shroud of the sea will roll on as it rolled five thousand years ago. This is how it goes. But perhaps not this time. Perhaps…

Or: Ahab, choosing to live.
