I also LOVE how they introduce Blackbeard, sliding from fantasy to legend to reality over TWO whole episodes (and on). Ed's keeping up a façade to the world but also to the viewer. his reputation goes before him. his henchmen go before him. of course it thunders around his ship. dies irae is not coming from the place the light comes from; it's blasting from the sky. he's on screen but he's not showing his face. his first mate stands at attention but slips into familiarity. he orchestrates the conditions he wants. his control is a cage but it affords him privacy. he doesn't show his face until he sees Stede.

== Love Notes ==

Hey lovelies. Hoping your week is progressing in an upward direction. I hopefully get to finally talk to my dad tomorrow after over a week of everything going on, so I'll be in and out of things again. I know everyone is dealing with their own level of craziness right now, and I want to remind you that you're doing great no matter what you're dealing with. It could be little, it could be huge, it could be life-changing, or could be making you regress further back than you'd like-- whatever it is, you are getting through the best way you can, and you never have to feel bad about that.

I know it can feel like there's never an end to the chaos-- but remember that there are pockets of joy and love there in this life too, and however you need to cope with your daily struggles, don't feel bad in taking solace in that. Enjoy the little things, no matter how small. Rest up lovelies, breathe in, breathe out, drink some water, and keep going. Below is a very appropriate love note (for me personally but for so many others as well), courtesy of the amazing The Latest Kate. Not everything is clear right now, but it'll get there, just stay with us, and don't give up. Sending you so much love, crew <3

A post shared by Kristian Nairn (@kristiannairn)

After months of no WJW lives I'm so excited to finally share a new WJW with ya'll 💖💖💖

New WJW with Nathan 😊it's lovely and funny and Kristian talks about and reads from his book!!!

(Quick TW: death, non explicit and just touched on briefly....Kristian does mention some things that happened during the Troubles and Northern Ireland)

[xoxoemynn]

Who's ready for my clowniest of clown theories? (Please note this is based on nothing but my own delirium and vibes and hopes and dreams.)

DJenks is in negotiations with our Fave New Streamer and the conversations proceeded as such:

DJenks: Okay I really think when we move over to you, you should re-release all of S2 BUT do the extended release version. The fans would go absolutely feral.

FNS: I don't know.... might be a really big investment for little reward. Do you REALLY think they'd care that much?

DJenks: Oh, they care. They. Care.

DJenks: [fires up the group chat] Okay, sluts, here's the plan. Kristian and Ruibo, on WJW, make sure you mention the extended scene in the last episode that got positively butchered. Samba, I'm going to accidentally on purpose send you that footage of said scene. The following day, I want you to post it. The day after that, I'm going to QT some poor unsuspecting fan talking about a Jenkins cut and confirm it exists and it's a banger. Aaaaaand... GO!

DJenks: [slides a PowerPoint with links to all the posts and a compilation of fan reactions to FNS] You were saying?

[stonedcoldweirdo]

SOBBING con on WJW rn talking about izzy's biggest regret is never letting himself properly completely fall in love THINK ABOUT THE EDIZZY IMMPLICATIONSSSSSSSSJFSKDLAFJDSA;LFJDSFJSDALFDL;S

[canonizzyhours]

i almost feel a little sad for some of the canyon because their favorite character died and then they realized they never really liked the show in the first place just the character. they didn't care if it was canceled and never got to see the other characters again, i think the wjw with con had way more viewers than the others, right after season 2 ended they were talking about how the show wasn't good actually, and now they "have" to stick to the show in some way because that's where the character came from but they don't really care about anything else

#377.

[paleoleigh]

I think I really do need a break from all of this. I don't think I'll be able to handle david on wjw and everything else is just a complete wreck so if that goes south....I'll just be in complete despair idk. Going on a long all day hike tomorrow with friends to get off the internet for a bit since this weekend's weather looks really nice so I guess that should help.

I'm just. still so sad. and angry. and frustrated. There are a lot of personal reasons that feed into why the cancellation x2 is hitting me so hard but I don't even have the words to explain it to myself, let alone another person, so no one in my real life gets it, and I can't even go on the internet to talk to people who feel similarly without the absolutely abhorrent vibes happening. Sigh.

No good way to end this post just need to keep hugging my blahaj ed.

[gentlebeardsbarngrill]

I saw some things about Nathan being harassed during his last WJW by Izzy stans and I know a bit of it, but I don't really know all that happened. Could you possibly point me to any discussion of it or recap what happened?

Hey Anon! Sorry for the delay-- obviously a few things happened since you wrote lol. I had to spend a little time looking it up and getting some info. I unfortunately don't know too much about what happened with Nathan on the WJW, the synopsis I was told was regarding "Talk about the cigarette scene with con!" and "Team Sprizzy" when Nathan was talking about the Lucius and Pete engagement. If you feel like reading through you can also checkout Kristian's WJW from that day: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3RBuoqtUoR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== I would like to take a moment to bring up something that was brought up with me last night-- (and this is not a criticism of you anon! This is me giving out a PSA since it was brought up to me and you just happened to say something regarding Izzy fans so I thought it would be a good time to bring it up). Some of our friends who are Izzy fans are feeling a bit lumped in with some more extremist Izzy folks, so they've asked if we could just consider our terms regarding assuming that any issues are being caused by "izzy fans" as opposed to "those goofballs who are also izzy fans" . (I dont wanna police anyones complaints! Just want to spread that as it was a concern brought to me and I want to continue to allow for a safe spaceship here and everywhere). Just something to add on, once again Anon, not criticising you, just using this as a stepping off point.

Anywhoo-- sorry Im not more help there, normally I'd try to watch and re-read the text but I'm a bit swamped tonight. Sending love, and hope you're well, and you arent getting grief. If you are and need some help feel free to reach out!

[tinseltrinkets]

We aren’t talking enough about how not only were both Samba and David (Samba at ECCC and David on WJW q&a) were able to almost perfectly parrot Rhys’ voice, but it was the exact same scene and line they did.

Like wtf is that line enchanted or something?

[harrylovesspaezle]

i need a wjw with rhys SO BAD you don't understand it will make my soul glow. I need him to talk about merstede and about the kisses and the deleted scenes and the bloopers and cryptids and everything. i need it bad

== Love Notes ==

Hey there Lovelies! Holy Moly! What a week it's been, and it's only Tuesday!! I cannot tell you how nice it is to see so many folks so excited! It's like we got an injection of pure dopamine from all the news, and I'm so happy it's helping everyone feel a little levity!

And you know what?

You deserve a break!

You deserve to feel happy!

It's been a lot lately, and some people might try to shame you for being happy about something while there's so much not so happy going on in the world, but please oh please remember, that you deserve to have happiness too.

Even if it's just a little here or there, or bounds of happiness -- you deserve a break from all the things you have to deal with every day. You deserve a chance to smile, and to laugh, and to enjoy this crazy life we live, and bask in the warm sun, or the cold wind.

You do not need to feel bad for enjoying yourself once in a while. No matter what it is-- even if its unrelated to the fandom, or anything that's happened the last couple days, please go out today or tomorrow and enjoy something.

Do you like tea? Drink a cup of your favorite tea!

Do you like going for walks? Get on out there and move those legs!

Do you like animals? Find a random neighborhood cat (not a wild one) and give it some much needed pets if it's friendly!

Do something that brings YOU joy, not anyone else. Take a moment to savor that feeling, hold it deep down in your chest where you can feel your breath coming in and out, and remember that you deserve to feel that joy, and you don't have to do anything different, or be any different to deserve it. 💖 Sending so many good vibes lovelies-- may your day be filled with excitement and wonder, or calm and love, whatever it is that will brings you joy. 💖

He grins with a raised eyebrow at the tempting offer the other was making. – “Well being a pain in your ass is one way, but then I just dislike these rich antique you have laying around here” Jaewon explain, sliding a small item inside his pocket sneakily without the others knowing it. His facial expression was frowning as if he was thinking so much into the question yet his hand was doing something else; stealing. “I wonder why I steal from you.. to annoy you probably. So please don’t bother with it. Because I always get what I want..” Jaewon speak confidently, turning his back as he continues back to what he was doing, taking as much as his hand could hold.

You see this?

This is exactly how you get people killed.

The study this article is referring to is showing that, against delta, people who have previously been diagnosed with covid, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, had lower case rates (not death rates) than people who were just vaccinated. This headline should read that having covid provides an added layer of immunity against re-infection of the virus. The study also makes the case that vaccines are still the best way to protect yourself from future covid infections. The study draws a limited conclusion to confirm something we already largely knew

Instead, FOX decided to say that natural immunity is better than vaccines, which, to FOX readers will undoubtedly reinforce the idea that they don't need to get vaccinated. When you talk about fake news, this is it.
