What the Seagull Finds @ladyseabird - Tumblr Blog

Hello. Welcome.

I'm 35, married with 2 kids (and 2 cats,) and finally trying my hand at being active here on Tumblr. I've been obsessing over Pirates of the Caribbean since 2003, and writing fanfiction since 2004 (back on good ol' FF.net) and more recently on AO3.

LadySeabird because I just think seagulls are neat, thanks to some family vacations to the beaches of southern Maine when I was of an impressionable age. (Feeding them stale cheerios in a Target parking lot in Indiana just isn't the same as tossing leftover fries out the back of a beachside restaurant.)

What might you find here?

Pirates of the Caribbean

Psych and other TV shows from that era

Photography-related things (especially film/analog photography!)

Miscellaneous writing, fandom, and mom things

Plays/musicals/theatre things

Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine

Profile photo by me: Seagull at Lake Ontario in Canada (digital)

Banner photo by me: Seagull in flight at Dauphin Island, Alabama (35mm film - SHOT THIS ONE ON AN OLD CAMERA WITH NO AUTO-FOCUS)

Find me on AO3!

#pirates of the carribbean #why is this so funny

ladyseabird

In Dead Man's Chest, Will goes to Tortuga looking around for Jack, then later Norrington shows up in Tortuga, and presumably he's been there a while. Imagine if he and Will encountered each other during Will's earlier visit. I feel like it would have gone one of two ways.

1) They notice each other and have that moment of trying to place someone you vaguely recognize when you see them out of context. Then Will just nopes out of there real fast.

2) Will stumbles across Norrington passed out in a gutter, recognizes him, then just says, "Yikes" and keeps walking.

Maybe I'll write one or both of these scenarios sometime. 😅

I'm working on the fic about this. Keep me accountable, friends. 😅

tbh "it's a curious thing; there was a time when i would've given anything for you to look like that while thinking of me" is THE demi norrington line to me. the privateness. the distance. the yearning is two steps removed from the physicality but still tied in and it's still not anything he can put into words, even when he's being brutally honest and a bit of a shit. it's the good stuff 👍

boltlightning

no you know what. i'm still stewing. it's not just "i wanted you once" it's "i wanted you to want me in the same way i wanted you" as well as "i wish you would think of me like that when i wasn't around" which is SO MUCH to say while he's actively roasting her about being into jack. and also trying to warn her about jack. because he loves her. oh my god.

#pirates of the caribbean #yes to all of this #that whole exchange is doing SO MUCH

Are we joking mate

Are we jesting my good sir

#“are we jesting my good sir” is going to be my new go-to line when I'm pissed off #←yep

real fucked up that caffeine works differently for people in general than it does for me

the-seelie-court-official

If you have not already, try to get tested for adhd

tomsk1607

wait what

the-seelie-court-official

in response to your tags, the 'hyperactivity' associated with adhd is a bit misleading; often, neurotypical observers will insist people with adhd are 'hyperactive' when they could easily mean something more like 'they have multiple interests which consume many hours of their time at a stretch' or 'they change what activity they are doing in a way i don't like/very often' or even 'they show too much enthusiasm about their hobbies'

now, about caffeine: stimulants work differently in adhd brains. Some doctors believe it is because people w/ adhd do not produce or retain high enough levels of dopamine. Thus, the theory is that stimulants bring an adhd brain closer to 'standard' arousal levels (arousal, here, meaning 'excitement' in general and not sexual arousal).

Important to note: for most people, caffeine literally makes them unable to be tired. Iirc, it blocks melatonin receptors.

If you drink caffeine and get more tired, or if it has literally 'no' effect, your brain is goofing up somewhere. It should literally actually make you more alert and awake. People aren't exaggerating or making up the symptoms commonly associated with caffeine- neurotypical people get caffeine jitters, become more alert, and literally cannot feel tired with large enough doses of caffeine.

(and before anyone asks: i type with the bolding because it is a friendlier way to type long posts for people with adhd- at the very least, people with my type of adhd)

inkk-splatters

why is everything. even slightly abnormal about me. a sign of adhd. like. i know. and i will probably never get diagnosed. tumblr. please. if you're going to offer advice. just. advise better or something.

the-seelie-court-official

you're an individual, so i'm not sure what advise will work for you but

1: if you relate to ADHD posts, you ain't gotta get a diagnosis to use the tips and tricks ppl have posted to help with ADHD

2: if you do have access to a health professional and feel comfortable asking for a new prescription, you don't need a diagnosis to be prescribed non-stimulant ADHD medicine, like strattera or other dopamine-reuptake-inhibitors. hell, if your doctor is cool enough they might get you stimulants without a diagnosis (though there is currently a shortage in the USA, so ymmv)

3. my biggest catch-all tip for ppl w/ ADHD is this: Do it the way you want/need to do it. whatever 'it' is.

If you need to take the cabinet/pantry doors off so you can see what's in there, do it. If you need to store your vegetables in the front of the fridge and not the vegetable drawer so you actually see them before they wilt, do it. If you need music playing to focus on homework, do it. If you need to keep snacks at your desk so you actually remember to eat, do it. If you need to set 16 reminders per day to get your work done, do it. Do it scared, do it wrong. You don't even have to do your best. 30% is better than 0%.

And if you can't do it, that's okay too. There's no wrong way to live your life. Just, you know, live it.

#i always wondered why coffee didn’t wake me up #but just seemed to make my brain turn on #and then my kid got his adhd diagnosis #and then i realized

I used to think the reason I rarely caught so much as a cold was that I had a naturally good immune system and drank a lot of orange juice.

Now that I am older and wiser, I know the REAL reason was simply that I did not yet have children.

Swann is distressed by that; briefly, he makes eye contact with Norrington. Both men quickly look away. Swann picks up his quill, resumes his distasteful task.

#pirates of the caribbean #i wish we got more of these two in the movies

Norrington stands, sees her for the first time. They stand back to back — see they are surrounded by assailants. Norrington is fey, ready to take on the world. // All of Jones' men are gathered, ready to attack. Too many to fight. Elizabeth and Norrington stand side by side. // The moment is broken. A lingering look — and then Norrington draws his sword, turns. Elizabeth stands beside him.

#pirates of the caribbean #these two should have ruled the world together

people have this tendency to believe that fandom discourse exists because people in fandoms are Stupid Nerdy Losers, but in fact fandom discourse exists because anytime you get a group of more than 100 people together, they will start creating interpersonal bullshit. fandom is not special in this regard

lyricwritesprose

There is sports discourse. There is yarn discourse. There is food discourse. There is academic discourse (dear sweet god is there academic discourse). If there are people out there collecting brass buttons specifically from 1921, they are going to have discourse about which buttons are trash and whether Person A cheated person B. To be human is to engage in pointless wankery sometimes.

Just found out that the weekend of our summer musical performances is the same weekend as my son's soccer "tournament" (really just a long Saturday of 2 or 3 games instead of 1, but still) AND my husband is supposed to be out of town at an event with his club. And like... we'll figure it out (childcare and making sure my parents and husband get to see the show, even if it means he comes home early from the event) but I wish I could have ONE THING for myself without having to FIGURE IT OUT.

(And then I feel bad for wanting one thing for myself without having to figure it out because even figuring it out involves asking other people to inconvenience themselves for me. Mom guilt is a bitch.)

I’m in the camp that Vick knew Shawn wasn’t psychic but I also think she saw what he could do and went “I’m about to have the best arrest numbers in the county” and just let him do whatever

#psych #this has always been my take #she really thought it was none of her business as long as he got results
