Nassau and the Internet

On one hand the Internet has very much become a commercial nightmare and we know it. Between the amount of ads YouTube dares to show us now and ...well pretty much every social media sight and it feels like such a contrast to this freedom to make your own content, this access to everything. I love the content on TikTok, theres so much creativity and fun and as a cosplayer I can't help but recognize how great it is for cosplay content. But literally everyone will tell you that it's a horrible app. Even just from a usability stand point. You cant really find new content on your own because there's no way to few new content in tags first anymore so you're just kind of at the mercy of the For You tab. We see glimpses of what the Internet could be from sites like, and please don't start discourse on this post, ao3 where you can search for literally everything and while the site isn't perfect you still have a huge amount of control over your experience and most of the Internet is...not that.

Like everyone else I have a lot of thoughts about Bo Burnham's Inside and none of them original enough to qualify posting about. But I'm watching CJ The X's video 'Bo Burnham vs. Jeff Bezos' despite planning on not watching any inside video essays and it has brought up a lot of emotions about the Internet again.

Because I have this conflicting feeling about the Internet (and I'm definitely not alone in it) about what it is vs. what it could be, how it helps and how it harms.

And I love the Internet, I owe it a lot and I always get a, probably unhealthy, need to defend it, because I wouldn't be as happy as I am today without it. I wouldn't have met many of my friends, learned many of my skills, started many projects and hobbies and learned things about myself. I'm not alone in this either. But fuck can the Internet be bad for you sometimes. I don't have a major following anywhere and I don't really strive towards it anymore but this feeling of performance, of having to see as much as possible and be seen as much as possible is still there.

Getting back to the point, every time a character in Black Sails talks about Nassau it reminds me of this. Everyone has a vision of what Nassau could be and it's always stopped by what it is. Nassau is a place outside of England's jurisdiction and as such it has basically unlimited potential just like the Internet is a place pretty much anyone can access and as such it has nearly unlimited potential but as we see when Marion Guthrie talks to Max about the pirates near Philadelphia, the power of the system is that i manages to take these places that try to stay separate and integrate them so there separateness becomes not only useful but needed to the system.

I'm not sure if the Internet makes you make choices the same way as described about Nassau, but that feeling of being hurt by the very same thing that allowed you to live? That's familiar.

And the Internet is very much a place of shifting sands

I want to do the #CosplayIsBetterWithFriends challenge tag I've seen some amazing people do on instagram, so of course, I'm starting with my best friend (and in a photo where neither of our characters are related). For the next twelve days, post a photo of you and a friend cosplaying together. Cosplaying with Aurelian Cosplay is always a hilariously fun experience. I know I gushed about her twice recently because of National Sibling Day and her birthday last week, but you're gonna have to deal with another one because she's my best friend. <3 Here's to all the fun things we've done, and the amazing opportunities to come!

out of time;

"Guthrie! Over here!"

"Goddammit, not another one," Eleanor mutters under her breath, rolling her eyes as she trudges over, boots sinking in the wet sand over to her colleague, who sounds both fascinated and panicked.

Another day, another piece of 'discovered treasure', that nearly always turned out to be some piece of carved wood from some part of some ship that she had to somehow match to some time period.

She almost regrets having been propelled three hundred or so years into the future. Almost.

In all her years working as an expert on Nassau's history, she's been invited to more than one of these projects, sometimes, like today, as they happened, where eager men brought scraps to her like a cat laying dead mice at its owner's feet. Yet none of them have been of significance, not that she expects them to; after hundreds of years, anything she could possibly recognise would have been long gone.

So she's amazed and horrified when the fascinated, panicked colleague points at a man with sharp features and ginger hair, dressed in clothes that would be the envy of many a cosplayer. The colleague darts off to call for an ambulance, leaving her alone with the man.

This can't be. Eleanor takes slow steps toward the body and nudges the hand with the toe of her sandy boot. How could he not have turned to bone? Had he somehow survived?

"Flint?"
