What flows forth from this house, starting tonight, is a new story for Nassau. I’ve watched her follow mad men. I’ve watched her follow rich men. I’ve watched her bow before tyrants. But now it’s time she had a king. When we’re ready, when he’s ready, he’ll step into the role we’ve created for him… and lead an impossible army into an unwinnable war… and win it.

Unlikely Tactics Black Sails Musical Parallels | XVI. XXV. XXVI. XXVII. XXVIII. XXIX. XXXIII.

music variation note: it is the percussive rhythm in these scenes that is the same, rather than the melody. In XXVI it is faster than in the other scenes, while XXVII and XXXIII are slower. The melody in XVI and XXV is Vane Schemes The melody in XXVI and XXIX is Wary Anticipation

I spent a year rewatching Black Sails and tracking all the bits of music that repeated at any point during the show, and my findings are reinforcing that Bear McCreary is a genius and this show should have been called 'parallels that will kill you over and over again'* (tag | chronological)

Growing up without a childhood. Growing up too fast. Waking up one day with consciousness and you're an adult.

You're five years old, but you're holding daggers in your hand and you're learning how to take a life.

You're ten years old, but you're holding the family together, but you're poisoning yourself, but you haven't slept in ten days.

You're fifteen years old, but you're an older sister again, but you're tending to someone who's smaller than you, but you're protecting them regardless of anything.

You're seventeen years old and you're on your first mission and you feel stifled and you feel underestimated and you ruin everything and your brother, who you loved, nourished, fed, cared for, raised, attempts to take your life as a punishment.

You're twenty years old and you're so big and you're so restless and now you'll never be enough again. Your father doesn't look at you. Your eye doesn't work anymore. You lie you can see fine.

You're twenty five years old. Your brother hates you. He's never going to forgive you. Your father is dead. You should be dead instead. He's never coming back. It's never getting better.

Now you're thirty. Now you're thirty. You miss your father. It's going to get better. The house is yours. You're so small. Your brother can't look you in the eyes. You're never growing up.

SIGYN. lawful neutral.

norse myth, truth & other lies book series fc: charlize theron

dossier:                      

sigyn had always stuck out, even amongst the gods. she is not violent, she is not vengeful, and her life goal is not to die in ragnarok once it comes. her only idea and her single driving thought is the wellbeing of her family. in all her verses, she was a mortal first and because of this loyalty, she is granted immortality through divine blessing.        

in mythology, loki kills baldr by rigging a game. the gods could not let this pass since baldr was extremely beloved among them. everyone who was part of this and connected to Loki in any way was punished. after killing lokis sons, loki was taken in a cave deep under the earth and chain using his own sons entrails. they put snake over his head so the snake could drip venom on his forehead and cause him immeasurable pain. ever faithful, sigyn remained at his side using a bowl to collect the venom that was dripping from the snake’s teeth.

From time to time, she had to leave his place to pour the content of the bowl. During that time, the venom would drip on Loki’s head. The poison was very powerful, and it made him tremble and scream in agony. Loki’s screaming and trembling are said to be the origin of earthquakes in the human world.

mythos canon does not have to apply to other muses unless desired          

because of her sacrifices ( mythology and headcanons ), she became the goddess of fidelity, nurturing, and grieving. primarily, she was honored by women. if someone was praying to sigyn, they were usually in deep sadness or was heartbroken. also, people who lost their children paid respects to sigyn to keep them safe in the afterworld.

She would not be a God that you would pray for seeking justice but the god to whom you would pray to achieve inner peace. she was usually represented as either a young, innocent bride, a grieving mother, or a nurturing mother, and that were three main aspects regarding Sigyn’s personality. It depends on which Sigyn’s personality you pray to. If it is to the bride, the offering should be cake or some other sweet which should be made by the one making the offering. To the nurturing or grieving mother, one should offer fresh milk and bread.        

personality:   

she is stubborn and willful. she seeks law and order, follows rules and expects others to do the same. this can come off as naive and self righteous at times, putting expectations on others and being disappointed or sad when its not met. her ability to keep giving second chances is taxing and quixotic. as her name sake, she is a fighter and will stick up for herself and others—especially those she loves. she will fight tooth and nail even at a disadvantage. she is loyal to a fault, always wanting to make sure the people closest to her are taken care of even when they break her heart over and over.     

she is hard working, intelligent and focused, tends to be more introverted. she dislikes cheats, liars and bullies and will tell people when she disapproves of their behavior. sadness comes easier to her than anger though she will refuse to cry in front of others if she can help it. when shes comfortable, she can be playful and sweet, letting her guard down enough to let herself breath outside her responsibilities.    

verses:                                  

main ::  lightly based off the novel ‘truth & other lies’ series, sigyn was born to a mortal family on midguard. her mother died when she was young and her brother is a con man so she took over her fathers business at a local book shop and printing press. her father was diagnosed with brain cancer which leaves him bed ridden and hallucinating. she does her best to care for him when shes not working in the shop, fixing the machines and making sure projects are completed on time. her brother is known in bad circles for conning people out of money so she keeps bookies and loan sharks at bay as best she can. she is stubbornly unwilling to give up on her family no matter the strife

             her undying and unyielding loyalty, even at the expense of her wellbeing, sparks a divine energy inside her. while it is acknowledged by odin and freya, they never approached the woman because she is mortal and could not live in asgard. without being introduced, her magical abilities are only brought out when in danger or high emotions, uncontrollable and unknowing to her.             

main verse can be a period piece (1700-1800s) or modern                   

mythological & marvel ::  when odin was gathering his allies, creating the pantheon, he found a one mortal who stood out among the many. despite her families struggle, the betrayal of those closest to her, she remained loyal to her blood and kept her promises even when she was heart broken and exhausted. through her untimely death, odin brought her amongst the Aesir gods as the goddess of fidelity, unable to let that light inside her die. optional to include marriage to loki and her sons.

Πηλός

Πάλευα με ένα κομμάτι πηλό εχθές

Δύο ώρες να φτιάξω κάτι απροσδιόριστο

Ώσπου κουράστηκα και τον παράτησα

«Για να τον ξαναπιάσω όταν θα έχω όρεξη».

Ήξερα πως αυτή �� στιγμή δεν θα έρθει ποτέ

Και ο πηλός θα ��είνει εκεί, ξεχασμένος έως να ξεραθεί.

Κι όσο σκεφτόμουν το χαμένο κομμάτι πηλό

Σκέφτηκα και εμάς.

Ας μην γίνουμε πηλός.

Ground Shifting Black Sails Musical Parallels | X. XXVIII. XXXII. XXXIV. XXXV. XXXVIII.

music variation note: The music in XXXII is in a lower key than the first two scenes. XXXIV is in a higher key, and goes into a minor rather than major. The music in XXXV adds more strings and fuller chords as it repeats. XXXVIII is also in a lower key, and slightly different phrasing in the pauses between notes.

I spent a year rewatching Black Sails and tracking all the bits of music that repeated at any point during the show, and my findings are reinforcing that Bear McCreary is a genius and this show should have been called 'parallels that will kill you over and over again'* (tag | chronological)
