The Prince and the Pirate

Rated E, 67k words

Prince Stede of Bonnet is en route to be married to the King of Low when his ship is overtaken by pirates. Stede offers himself up to the Dread Pirate Blackbeard in exchange for freeing the rest of his people. He does not expect Blackbeard to propose marriage as a part of their agreement, but if it is a choice between the kind of monster Ned is and the kind of monster Blackbeard is, that is an exceedingly easy choice to make.

(marriage of convenience, pining while fucking)

for the record, a lot of people commenting on this situation clearly don’t actually know what they’re talking about, so take their posts with a pinch of salt. not mine tho mine are all true and correct and also sexy.

oh, and some of them do know. they’re just lying.

for example, some people are claiming that they are being attacked/called ‘puritans’ for not shipping a polyam ship.

this is a lie.

these people have been described as ‘puritanical’ because of their penchant for ascribing morality to the existence of fictional relationships and the people who enjoy them (as per the definition of puritanical, which they have seemingly decided to substitute for the word ‘prude’ in their heads).

for describing a perfectly harmless ship as ‘hateful’ and acting as though anyone who so much as mentions the ship is launching a direct attack on ed and stede and the people who love them, when in fact they are the ones launching attacks on people who are just trying to have fun and be creative in the fandom (a fandom that these people are actively killing).

if they say they are being attacked simply for not liking a ship, they are lying. if they say they are being attacked for asking the ship to be tagged, they are lying. they are leaving out details of their behaviour and falsifying the behaviours of others in order to appear as victims of bullying. if you take what they say at face value, you are one of the people i was describing in my original post. you don’t know what’s going on and has been going on for a long time. and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Why do you reblog your own fics so much?

Does this look right to you??

These are just the last three fics I wrote. I appreciate the likes, believe me I do, but you have to understand. Likes do nothing for content creators. It’s the reblogs. Because that’s how you find shit on your dashboard. Through reblogs. Not likes. This isn’t twitter or tiktok or instagram. This is a website that’s run by the reblog system.

Reblogging helps content creators put their stuff out there. Why do you think so many people stopped writing fanfic and creating beautiful fanart and edits? It’s because they put in hours of work and don’t get nearly enough notes for their masterpieces. Yes we do this because we enjoy it but like…some validation won’t hurt. A boost of confidence here and there might be all someone needs to finish whatever thing they started and left.

Anyway, I’m still going to reblog my shit…

I think I’m gonna restart blogging my own shit.

WRITERS. ARTISTS. EDITORS.

REBLOG YOUR OWN WORK.

THERE IS NO SHAME IN IT.

And still there’d be people who’d not REBLOG this post

you’re taika waititi, you’re watching the gay hockey show, you think to yourself, i would love to simulate my cheeks getting clapped on an international stage. you call up David Jenkins and say hey, what would it take to get me into a softcore gay porn situation with bestie posthaste? dj says it’s over man, I’m sorry, I love you, but you knew this. taika pulls his second genie wish out of his prodigious Hollywood rolodex. he wants to get his cheeks clapped onscreen. David Jenkins says “not the originally intended vibe of season 3 but we’ll figure it out.” when they call Rhys Darby he says “yes! and!!!” it’s a smash hit success. between the gay pirate show and the gay hockey show we achieve world peace. tears are shed. champagne is drunk. cheeks are clapped.

i was very drunk when i wrote this and expected no notes so the 23 people vibing with me: i love you
