Death Whistles and Happy Halloween! 🎃

Happy Halloween and a lesson in turbulence!

A "Death Whistle" is an Aztec instrument which gives off an eerie high-pitch scream, that is even more unsettling in person

Give it a listen!

This screech might only represent one type of this instrument since some of the original whistles excavated typically produce a softer whistle that is said to sound like the wind

This "wind" instrument was originally excavated in a template for Ehecatl, an Aztec and Mesoamerican wind god from the hands of a skeleton!

The only known ancient death whistles with archaeological context were published by Salvador Guilliem Arroyo in 1999. They were recovered from the hands of the skeleton of a sacrificed 20-year-old man that was found buried in front of the Ehecatl (wind) temple of Tlatelolco

This fascinating instrument works as a result of turbulence!

The whistle is made up of two hole, a smaller and a larger hole with a substructure in the middle with an entrance but no exit hole

First, air is blown into the smaller hole

But, instead of easily passing through the hole to the larger exit hole, air enters a substructure in line with the entrance in the middle of the instrument. The air becomes trapped in the middle structure

Trapped in the middle of the whistle, the air will be pushed back and out of the structure, against the flow of the air entering the structure

When the air entering the whistle collides with the air attempting to escape from the substructure it produces a chaotic turbulence, creating the SCREECH as it exits the larger hole on the other side of the whistle

Learn more from this excellent breakdown (where these diagrams originate from):

Death Whistles come in many shapes, but they all work on the same general principle with a larger and smaller opening so that air entering creates chaotic turbulence

Here is another nice diagram (r/pottery via szubka)

You don't even need clay! The principles of chaotic turbulence work on even simpler instruments. This creator makes death whistles from pipes:

Literally three seconds later...

WHO. FREAKING. CALLED IT?!

They should just name the highlight film "Five Nights at Freddie's", especially from the Yankees' perspective! (Even more perfect since at this point the Yankees would be lucky to survive more than five nights.)

Sorry, I had to 🤣

On my third death whistle iteration. The first one was just a loud whistle

The second one was a quiet but happy sound. This one sounds promising so far. Thinking polymer clay might be better for this than stone-based clay.

What if… Stede and Izzy get together after Ed leaves to be a fisherman, but they decide to keep it a secret from the crew for now. 

It’s just that their relationship is new and… well, ok, it’s mostly because of Izzy’s insecurities, but when he asked to keep it quiet, Stede agreed because he understands and the whole thing feels fragile and doesn’t want Izzy to get cold feet.

So they are in a raid one day, and it’s tougher than they have expected, but they manage to take the ship eventually and when all the members of the other crew are either dead or have jumped overboard, Stede looks around… and he doesn’t see Izzy anywhere.

And after a frantic search Stede finally finds him, leaning heavily against a barrel, covered in blood, and Stede’s knees feel so weak that they barely hold him as he gets closer.

And when Stede gets to his side and he carefully puts a hand around his neck Izzy smiles at him and puts his hand on Stede’s chest, soothingly.

“It’s not my blood, Stede,” he simply says.

And Stede checks him frantically and he realizes that aside from a cut on his temple he seems to be fine and he is so relieved that he leans down to kiss him breathless right there in front of the crew.

“I guess our secret is out,” Izzy says as they part for air, not sounding too upset about it.

“Pfff, please,” Roach says from nearby.

“It was supposed to be a secret?” The Swede asks confused. “I thought we all knew about it.”

“You’re so loud, c’mon,” Ivan says, rolling his eyes.

“The walls on the ship are really thin,” Fang agrees. “But really it’s been so obvious.”

“You’re looking at each other and touching each other all the time, it’s so cute!” Frenchie added.

“Yes, the first time we saw the Captain touching you without getting stabbed we all knew, Izzy,” Pete says with a smirk.

Archie, Jim and Oluwande are grinning at them as well, and Stede feels a bit silly, but who cares really?

“Then I guess it’s alright if I do it again, right, darling?” Stede asks playfully as he slowly leans down to kiss Izzy again.

As his lips meet Izzy’s, Stede can hear a few groans around them and a distant whistling probably coming from the Revenge, but he is too busy to care about them.

Part 2

[aha-my-villainous-thoughts]

Showing my best friend who's had to listen to two years of pirate brainrot pictures of the #OurFlagMeansDeath crew and getting her first impression thoughts and observations: a thread. 🧵 of 9 ⬇️

First up:

"I know that one, you've shown me your weird porn of him. He's got a new coat, and he's really happy about it but the guy behind him is like 'ahhh the label's still on it.'

'Oh it's Leslie Jones. Pretty much, that's just Leslie Jones looking great. She just turned up on set and they were like 'wow you look sick af' and then she was in it because she looked so fly. No one cast her, the camera just turned on.'

'OK, so someone's just told him 'I don't like this lasagne you made' and he's like 'it's my mother's recipe, how dare you! My nonna's spaghetti! She gone be so upsetti!'

'OK so this guy just turned up in one of those fast fashion shops for tweens and was like 'oh, finally, belly shirts are really in right now.''

Me: What do you think his name is?

Her, *whispered*: ...Fernando.

'This guy just fell over. It's really unfortunate. He's just really clumsy. Someone left something out on deck and he went 'whoopsie doodle!''

Me: you're actually pretty close to the truth.

Her, guessing wildly: 'oh boy, what a day to be... captain... smiggs?'

'Taylor.'

Me: just Taylor?

'Taylor... Swifts. Undercover. She wants to be on a boat now. She loves boats. Nautical-core. I don't know, I just looked at her and at first, tailor of suits, but then nope - Taylor of songs.'

'Oh this guy's a mime.'

Me: what do you think his role in the crew is?

Her: just a shit mime. He's just here so when they play charades he just wipes the floor with the rest of the crew.

'Someone's just gone in the bathroom, he was like 'urgh I really needed to go' and now he's sad. He's sad because he needed a shit. He's wondering whether to just go in the sea.

Me: where else would it go?

Her: like in a corner. I know how ships work, I've been on a cruise.

'Have you seen Ratatouille? It's like that, the seagull is controlling that guy. He makes the foodfor the ship, but all the food's just raw regurgitated fish, like a fucked up sushi bar.'

And, scene.

personally i understand why shen qingqiu immediately and without hesitation jumped at the chance to fight airplane. shizun needed a chew toy! his gums were itchy!

Now I just have the imagery of the gang having to go to a Freddy’s for some plot reason

Gregory/CC: if we need to find the current night guard how will we know who it is?

*Mike starts whistling the toreador march seconds later one dude dives under a table*

Mike: found them

(Though I do wonder if the other animatronics at other places will see Mike and go “ah one of us carry on”)

Michael: word of advice? next time don’t hide under the table. If the electricity is still on you should shut both doors.

Security guard: a-and if the electricity is out?

Michael: -eyes glowing- Pray.

-security guard proceeds to pass out-

Gregory: HEY! We needed to ask him questions!

CC: that’s …. Never do that again, please.

Michael: ah- yeah … sorry.
