“he / she wasn’t flirting with me, calm down.”

“they’re just a friend, i swear.”

“you’re being really irrational about all this.”

“you can’t tell me what to do.”

“you can’t tell me who i can and can’t hang out with.”

“there’s no reason for you to be jealous.”

“who cares if they were flirting with me? it doesn’t mean anything.”

“stop treating me like a piece of property.”

“i wasn’t flirting, i was being friendly.”

“i don’t belong to you.”

“calm down. i’m yours, nothing’s gonna change that.”

“are you seriously jealous right now?”

“why does it matter who i was with?”

“i only have eyes for you, you know that.”

“you have nothing to worry about.”

“you need to stop being so controlling.”

“you have no reason to be jealous!”

Oh, he’d heard plenty about Captain Jack Rackham - from Jim, from Anne, and from plenty of others before he’d even met his friends who were on this idiot’s crew.  It was not a secret that he was not a fan, but he’d been tolerating the man’s presence for Jim and Anne’s sake as they had a drink.

But then an off-color joke about Mark Read had the bar they were in go dead silent as it also was no secret that Hurricane was just like him - they were men who did not identify with the gender they were assigned at birth.  An insult to Mark in that regard was an insult to Hurricane - though Hurricane would have been just as angry either way because the man was his friend.

The captain vaguely heard others start to make comments in defense but those were quickly ended as he stood and smashed the glass of beer he’d been holding in Jack’s face before slamming him into a nearby table - one forceful hand on the back of his neck with the other grabbing his testicles in a very painful grip.  

     He knew to watch that bastard, he did. But Mark Read had been a valuable asset and had proven himself a good work man, and a better sailor. He was a navy man after all, and knew a thing or two about what it was to see the Revenge sailing well.

      But Jack, didn’t care for the way he was eyeing his woman. Didn’t like him for the ideas that he prompted into her thinking. Didn’t like him trying to make love to what was his. And so he told him, told him to lay off his lass or else he’d cut him. The fact that Mark Read had squared up to him only told Jack what was on his mind, and just as Anne stepped between them... oh she all but confirmed to fucking him.

      Oh it all came to a climax when he caught them, had drawn his knife and swore to cut his throat, swore to cut Anne’s too if she got in the way. Even if she didn’t know what she was doing- no Jack was only here for her. Only for Mark- to reveal himself. Only he wasn’t man, no- all this time she was a fake. For fuck sakes this was worse. Part of him started to think that he could salvage this; maybe invite the lass to his bed with Anne- maybe that would sate the mick one. But time would tell, but for now. This was prime time to get revenge. His eye caught Mark in passing, and his lips curl, and there was a comment. Told them that they needn’t any lasses around just yet, they were satisfied enough in escorts.

         That was the last thing he remembered.

UPDATED! (May 30th, 2019)!

(Base) theme: Desmond. / Live Preview / Download: Code.

Consider this a little bit of an early Christmas present, but primarily as yet another thank you to each and every single one of you that has found an interest in my aesthetic, my style and my themes as a whole. My sole intention at the very beginning was to merely release the theme I’d made for myself, but never did I think I’d release more after that. But the community’s interest, appreciation and overall support has been utterly inspiring. And in each of you, I’ve found a reason to continue releasing these. From the bottom of my heart, my sincerest and endless thank you’s.

I know that I must sound repetitve at this point, but here we go again: here’s another fully functional container theme with customizable popup pages. This theme is made specifically to be extremely non-coder friendly because of meta tag usage, which allows all of the work (including popup pages) to be done in the customization instead of the coding itself. 

Important note: Unlike its predecessors, this more minimalistic variant of my container theme does not require photoshop to set up the images. To simpify it for you guys further, I made it so that you can directly upload your chosen images into the theme, limiting the amount of work to potentially mere cropping, for which I’d recommend imageresize.

Other important notes/help/commonly addressed issues:

1. Popup pages not appearing? Go into your blog’s settings and make sure that the option ‘always serve blog over SSL‘ is turned off, in other words, it needs to be grayed out, like so. This option has the tendency to interfere with a lot of coding, including popup pages and music players.

2. In regards to your popup pages. <h1> text here </h1>  is the code needed for general headers. While subheaders are created by wrapping your text with <h4> text here </h4>

3. If you utilize the boxes on the customization page for your popup pages, I’m aware that they are a little wonky. Sadly, this is something on Tumblr’s end and therefore out of my control. I would suggest writing what you want in a program such as Notepad or Wordpad and then copying it over into the respective boxes.
