praying to david jenkins that there will be a moment in season 2 where ed runs his ship aground and then in an attempt to free it izzy runs a second ship aground

there’s not really much that hits better than eating breakfast on a ship on a calm morning whilst the porpoises hunt and play in the sunlight 20 meters away from you
#own post#also we have run aground soooo#we will need to get free again now with a two mast wooden ship#fun times

You are a getaway car, a rush of blood to the head, but me, I'm just the covers on top of your bed. You steer away in a rear view mirror, make my head swim. I keep you warm and won't ask you where you've been, with your backless black dress soaked to the skin, when it's said and done, they're all scrambling and we're friends, we're friends, just because we move units. Strike us like matches 'cause everyone deserves the flames, we only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame, at least everyone is trying, everyone is shining. Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame, such a shame
#THIS SONG MAKES ME SO CRAZYYYYYYYYYYY#FUTCT SWEEP FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER#the way he sings 'the tides out the ships run aground we drown / traitors in shallow water'???? moans#txt

As a Hungarian I find the Hungarian poster for season 2 hilarious. Like, they just translated "your ship to be wrecked" literally, not realising the double meaning there.
They took these two gay pining pirates laying below one another gazing off to the sky and thought "oh yeah it's just about a ship being beached" like it's just that. I cannot with this xD
#ofmd#ofmd s2#ofmd season 2#i'm dying cause the absolute ignorance to gay people here shows#it's hilarious and sad at the same time#i do hope that my ship will only run aground and not be wrecked

Never experience pea soup fog before. I like it. It's like half way between breathing and drinking rain. - Leça da Palmeira, Porto, Portugal
#porto#portugal#leça da palmeira#fog#probably a lot of sailors are very happy about the boa nova lighthouse right about now#because there's no seeing the big granite rocks#and a ship did run aground not too far from where I live about 100 years ago

Or – “the dreaded lee shore”
A small but nice series of pictures from the category "Captain, I think I have found a good anchorage" or "Emotionally stranded" you choose.

MTT container ship aground, India Container ship MTT SINGAPORE at around 0550 UTC Aug 2 ran aground onto right bank of Hugli river while sailing upstream to Kolkata India, from Port Klang. Still aground as of 1200 UTC. The ship is having 338 containers on board. Grounding was caused by cargo ship proceeding in opposite direction, MTT SINGAPORE ran onto bank while trying to avoid collision. Other sources say MTT SINGAPORE collided with another cargo ship, and ran onto bank to avoid capsizing. Tugs are sent to assist the ship. The opinions expressed herein are the author’s and not necessarily those of News2Sea. #MTT #container #ship #aground #India #VIDEO https://www.news2sea.com/mtt-container-ship-aground-india/?utm_source=tumblr&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=News2sea

Another kid in the chat finished watching the series and we remembered, that I had a fucking theory and it fits the lore of the universe very well. And it concerns two of the most mysterious characters that we were not shown — Oswald the Agreeable (Dagur and Heather's father) and Viggo's grandfather (whom we named Ulric, and took the nickname from the book). I called it the Dragon Eye Saga and I would like to see a spinoff about this couple. The grandfather's fate is unknown, but I remember the moment with the discovery of the Dragon Eye. It was the Grimborn ship where in the captain's cabin there was a skeleton of a large man clutching the device. And also Viggo's words that the DE had been in their family for centuries (so he saw it, trivially in childhood or youth, and he knows how it works.) But why was it lost and he was looking for it? And Oswald hid the most important lenses for the DE in his family. That's why it seems like there's a connection between the two. The theory is that the two of them were able to decipher the lenses of the device, and perhaps they were not just allies, but friends.
And apparently they both understood the danger of this thing in the wrong hands. Which is why they decided to hide it, and the lenses. Some lenses were hidden in the Grimborns style — with traps and riddles, others in unusual places. The lenses were hidden, Oswald decided to keep one for himself, and give the other two to his children. Ulric kept the device itself with him. Apparently, towards the end of his life, he went on a voyage, leaving Viggo as his successor. But he did not return. The Reaper ran aground and Ulric died there, holding the Dragon Eye even after his death.
Oswald went to hide the most important lens, which belonged to him, and eventually suffered a shipwreck, after which he got stuck on Vanaheim and ended his life there far from his beloved children.
Perhaps a compelling reason to urgently hide DE and the lenses was the appearance of Drago Bludvist and his idea of an army of dragons. After all, an army needs a dragon king, and DE leads to him.
