[Several drawings of Ahab, Starbuck, and Fedallah from Moby Dick reimagined as women. More detailed ID in ALT.]

hi everyone today i bring you. more women :)

a continuation of this last post, Ahab openly presents as a woman aboard her ship because she has enough job security at this point to do whatever she wants and her gender identity is essentially "call me sir, but beyond that who cares". Starbuck is still bigender as usual, so she initially went "undercover" as a man to get into the industry and then stuck with the disguise long term because she likes the way it feels to be Nathaniel. Meanwhile Fedallah is free balling tbh, she's under Ahab's protection on the Pequod and everyone's an asshole to her anyways so she truly could not give less of a fuck. All three use she/her, except for when Starbuck is undercover.

also *said through tears* ahab and fedallah are FRIENDS btw. they LOVE each other and she's FINE. melville when i GET you

also, side note because I don't think I ever mentioned it, but Starbuck is ID'd as "middle aged" in my art because (s)he is based on @pocketsizedquasar 's adaptation, where Starbuck's age has been interpreted to be around 40. <3 aging :)

anyways GIRLS! I've heard of them 👀

man. thinking about the 'Kill The Whale' album again and genuinely obsessed with the writing choice of fedallah and ahab having this deeply nuanced tense tragic power struggle of exotification and putting an end to being used and throwing the words of a forced prophecy back at the woman who made you speak them, condemning her to death and laughing as the shroud falls, and the whole time in the background starbuck is doing literally nothing but being gay horny out of her goddamn mind. no thoughts head empty. beautiful.

THE CHASE, UNRAVELED Chapter 12: عزیزم Chapters: 12/13 Relationships: Captain Ahab/Starbuck (Moby Dick), Captain Ahab & Pip (Moby Dick), Captain Ahab & Fedallah (Moby Dick), Captain Ahab/Fedallah (Moby Dick), Characters: Captain Ahab (Moby Dick), Starbuck (Moby Dick), Pip (Moby Dick), Fedallah (Moby Dick), Additional Tags: Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Ending, Alternate Universe - Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies, except not really - one person dies…

Summary: Tomorrow morning, the sun will dawn upon the White Whale’s inexorable spout, his hump like a snow-hill, and for the next three days Ahab will chase that haunted whale across the horizon till one of them spouts black blood, and all will collapse, and the great shroud of the sea will roll on as it rolled five thousand years ago. 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.

i’m so sorry for having to send this non-art ask through your art blog but since asks are off in your main i just thought i should let you know. maybe check daniel emond’s instagram story right now 😃 you might see a familiar blog there….

I WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS IS THE SCARIEST ASK I'VE EVER RECEIVED GOOD MORNING WHAT THE FUCK

[ID: A screenshot of Daniel Emond's instagram story, which shows a photo of his computer screen, and likewise an ask received on my main blog, reading: "hey did you know theres an album loosely adapting moby dick that has wlw starhab specifically starbuck being ahabs secret admirer while ahab and fedallah (who is also a woman) are lovers apparently. yeah just thought i should let you know you'd seem interested (the album makes a LOT of weird choices and is not a Good adaptation at all... but the music does slap and also we get canon doomed lesbian starhab hello). just to let you know"

and my response (in all caps:) hey what the fuck. anon i am pressing my face to the glass???? canon fedallahab and starhab???? please tell me the name of this i am begging 👁💙👁"

daniel has left comments on the photo, reading: "another day, another googling of kill the whale to see what the lovelies are saying!" "Actual review of Moby-Dick from the 1800s, probably: "This book makes a LOT of weird choices and is not a good book at all... But the language does slappeth."" End ID.]
