listen whether or not you personally like sea shanties is another matter but if you’re telling me they don’t unlock something deep within you you’re lying

I miss her!!!!!!!!!!! (The sea)

oh to be an 18th century pirate sailing the high seas and wrecking havoc, practicing swordplay with your first mate while spouting flirty comments, then pinning them under your blade in a suggestive yet threatening manner

damn when am i gonna break free of society’s shackles and become an 18th century lady pirate captain who eventually gets caught by the navy in a caribbean port because i stopped to bed the neglected governor’s daughter who is soon to be married to a prestigious naval officer for whom she has no feelings meanwhile she is immediately drawn to me when we meet in the market so i woo her and she happily comes, so to speak, but the governor and naval officer find us because i let down my guard for once because She Does Unexpected Things To My Heart and they throw me in prison and sentence me to death for piracy but that same night ANOTHER band of pirates kidnap the governor’s daughter and hold her for ransom and do so Very Threateningly and the navy can’t catch this dastardly brute so i’m released on the grounds i rescue the woman and bring her back unharmed and i’m like uh huh sure and when i get free i debate just leaving for the first pirate port but i can’t shake the image of the woman from my mind so i convince the crew to chase down this other pirate and they’re wary but also eager for a fight so we go and rescue her before any harm befalls her and after cutting down the brutish rival pirate captain i stand there with my sword drawn looking sweaty and butchy and bloody but with concern in my eyes for her well-being  then she throws her arms around me and i take her back to my cabin and she cleans my wounds and we make sweet passionate love in the candlelight and she tells me she always knew i would come for her, again so to speak, and we decide we can never be parted again so i give my ship to a spunky up-and-coming heroic sidekick lad who proved his mettle in our recent battle and meanwhile me and my love run off and shack up on a small island with the money i put away that i stole from the british and we live to be old and happy the end

self care is picturing yourself wearing a long dress whilst holding a sword at the seaside

I think this year we shouldn’t type all our postz liek dis rawr and instead adopt stereotypical pirate grammar, avast, me scene kids, we’ll make ye walk the plank

You’re not running after a lover, you’re not yearning to fall in love with a captain or a fellow pirate or anything like that. You yearn only for the salty breeze, waves crashing, stars leading you and the deep blue of the ocean; the creaking of the wooden ship, the sails, the seagulls. Your greatest treasure is the gold, the silver, the gems; the cameraderie and a lifetime of adventure. And there is nothing about that you need to change or be ashamed of.

If a siren tried to tempt me i would be so fucking dead

i think we, as a society, need to have more polar expedition adventure stuff in pop culture

Talk to me when the Beatles have contributed to music half as much as Leave Her, Johnny, Leave Her

I went to a vintage kilo sale in my town at the weekend, and I have never seen so many gays in one place in my town before. We don’t have a pride parade bc it’s too small but there was practically a pride party at the vintage sale and it brought me such joy. There I was, hunting down pirate blouses and shiny rings with my fellow gays, feeling more at home than ever.
