RIP Ishmael, you would've loved Urban Dictionary, Sufjan Stevens, and Heartstopper

RIP Ahab, you would've loved moveable prosthetics, Life360, and anger management classes

RIP Starbuck, you would've loved the DSM-5, HR, and the phrase "shut the fuck up"

RIP Stubb, you would've loved ASMR YouTube channels, brain rot humor, and starting flame wars on Twitter

RIP Flask, you would've loved platform boots, saying "bro it's not that deep", and prepackaged sticks of salted butter

RIP Fedallah, you would've loved the gift of prophecy awarded to people on tumblr, not having a phone, and 2020 COVID lockdown

RIP Queequeg, you would've loved Obergefell vs. Hodges, sweatpants, and having personal beef with the Duolingo owl

RIP Tashtego, you would've loved cotton candy vape, trolling people on the internet, and calling things "white people nonsense"

RIP Daggoo, you would've loved not playing basketball (out of spite), offering "uppies", and work visas

RIP Pip, you would've loved child labor laws, kazoos, and water wings

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

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.

This is how it goes. But perhaps not this time. Perhaps…

Or: Ahab, choosing to live.

GAY BROWN PEOPLE. GAY BROWN PEOPLE. THAT'S ALL.

the crew of the pequod, lovingly catified. a younger version of ishmael is here too to show how not-fluffy she was in the past.

bonus pallidified versions. i would've redrawn faces or, at the very least, made ahab's peg leg the harpoon leg it becomes later, but i was very tired when i finished these.

[twofoursixohjuan]

honourable mentions may include Steelkilt, Bildad and Peleg, or Moby Dick himself

[saranilssonbooks]

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.

So like with the whole meme of dead NPCs getting associated with food would Queequeg, Starbuck and Pip be sushi

[eleancrvances]

ok but. the last word of moby dick is “orphan”, and it’s what ishmael calls himself after the shipwreck. he is literally an orphan, he told us earlier he was raised by his stepmother, but he’s all the more an orphan now, alone in the vastness of the sea having lost crew and ship. and it’s the same situation pip was in, the thing that drove him mad, to feel he was an orphan abandoned by everyone and everything in an empty, probably meaningless world... and it brought him closer to ahab, who is another literal orphan! his mother was widowed before he was born and died when he was a few months old! and then there’s starbuck who lost his father to the sea and now both him and ahab have sons they will never see again... the whaling industry makes orphans, the sea makes orphans, the indifferent universe makes orphans, orphans make orphans over and over and

[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.]

im gay and this is over a week late. sorry. happy late hallween :3 featuring the results of a couple of the polls I did on instagram. I have feelings for these characters
