#but by god i will sail it anyway

Hoyoverse couldn't let Wriothesley and Childe interact in game because they knew that Wriothesley could damn near fix him, and they can't have that.

but what they don't tell you about black sails is that it is the single most devastating piece of media you will ever consume in your life and there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop it and it is literally all you will be able to think about until the earth stops spinning around on its axis and the sun devours us all

Let's not forget that until this Stede has only had sex with Mary (that we know of) so now he's losing Ed not only the day after they first have sex but the day after he first has sex with anyone he's actually attracted to, not to mention in love with

Like, the man was flying so high and then lost it all (and had his lover call their night a mistake to his face) in under 24 hours, I think it's impossible to overstate how much he's really going through it at the moment

Random Thought

Just a theory. What if Odysseus was sent to Elysium in the end?

(If you’re curious abt the different meanings of these Greek words…check out this post where I ranted abt them)

“A death (θάνατος)”: You will be sent there, Odysseus, and you may never leave. “Afterlife”, as later writers would consider it to be—but what if it’s a living man in afterlife? “Death”, we call it.

“A death outside of the sea (ἐξ ἁλός)”: Ending up in Elysium which was located on the western edge of earth beside the streams of Oceanus (Ὠκεανός), which was outside of the entire area of the sea (ἅλς) lying on the very edge.

“A tender (ἀβληχρός) death”: What harm so violent could ever come to you in Elysium, Odysseus? This is the most gentle way to get you to the afterlife; and it’s tender like the hand of love, when you find her beside you—you know her to be your Penelope.

“Ripe old age (λιπαρός γῆρας)”: Yep he’s old now.

“A blest (ὄλβιος) people”: They are a happy people blest by the gods, these residents in Elysium. (Proof in Hesiod’s Works and Days, line 171: “ὄλβιοι ἥρωες …”)

So yeah, Teiresias’s prophecy works for this ending too. Nothing keeps him from reuniting with Menelaus in Elysium :D

Tho it’s just a theory…

[queerofthedagger]

the most relatable as well as simultaneously the hottest thing silver has ever done is smash dufresne's obnoxious fucking face in with the equivalent of a steel-toed boot because the goddamn bastard yet again did not keep his mouth shut like I've had this exact urge for three fucking seasons everyone say thank you john silver you're a motherfucking STAR
