See, the first time I grew parsnips, I fucked it up good. I hadn't seen parsnips sprouting before, right, and in my eagerness I was keeping a close eye on the row. And every time I saw some intruding grass coming up, I twitched it right out, and went back to anticipating the germination of my parsnips.

But it turns out parsnips take a bit longer than anything else I'd ever grown to distinguish themselves visually. It's just the two little split leaves, almost identical to a newly seeded bit of kentucky bluegrass when they first come up, and they take a good bit to establish themselves and spread out flat before the main stem with its first distinctive scallopy leaf gets going.

I didn't get any parsnips, not that year, because I'd weeded them all out as soon as they showed their faces, with my 'ugh no that's grass' twitchy horticulture finger.

The next year, having in retrospect come to suspect what had happened, I left the row alone and didn't weed anything until all the sprouts coming up had all had a bit to set in and show their colors, and I've grown lots of parsnips since. They're kind of a slow crop, not a huge return, but I like them and watching them grow and digging them up, and their papery little seeds in the second year, if you don't harvest one either on purpose or because you misjudged the frost, so it's worth it.

once it does, the winds change direction and clouds appear, and most notably a lot of fog shows up.

the fog surrounds them when james norrington and jack sparrow meet.

that's because in this part of the script, it was originally written as "fags show up" (yes norrington and jack are FAGGOTS that are gay for each other and they have a deleted sex scene), but due to a mistranslation, it ultimately became "fog shows up" instead.

thankfully, they at least remembered to keep the originally written homoeroticism in this scene and for the rest of the film. #god bless my sparrington

Been on a roll making bullshit

turns out all the sonnets are really gay but here is my list of the absolute gayest ones, because i was not prepared for how explicit these were going to be and it devastated me 

sonnet 20 - this is the ‘master-mistress of my passion’ one

sonnet 22 - ‘Presume not on thy heart when mine is slain; / Thou gav’st me thine, not to give back again.’

sonnet 23 - acting metaphors! the difficulty of expressing verbally what silent love hath writ! gazing at your love with your whole heart in your eyes!

sonnet 25 - rich and noble people have joy in honour and wealth and so on but turns out having joy in being gay is way better than that - ‘Then happy I, that love and am beloved / Where I may not remove nor be removed.’

sonnet 26 - begins ‘Lord of my love’ and just gets gayer from there

sonnet 27 - for those nights when u can’t sleep for staying up pining and thinking about him

sonnet 41 - this one’s sad bc his boyfriend is Straying but also love btw a man and woman is explicitly directly made analogous to the love between the speaker and the addressee so like. stop no-homoing the sonnets

sonnet 53 - compare ur bf to both helen and adonis, no big deal

sonnet 57 - this love is the speaker’s WHOLE LIFE and he knows he’s a fool for his bf but he can’t help it

sonnet 61 - another too-gay-to-sleep one

sonnet 71 and sonnet 72 - don’t be sad for me when i’m dead, i’d rather be forgotten by you than have you be sad or be exposed to ridicule over your love for me - please read these ones they make me cry

sonnet 80 - RIVAL POET someone else is writing fancier poems about you!! now what!!

sonnet 87 - ‘Farewell! thou art too dear for my possessing,’ aka If You Love Someone Let Him Go (sad)

sonnet 91 - i’m not rich or noble but at least i’m not straight, mark two - ‘Thy love is better than high birth to me, / Richer than wealth, prouder than garments’ cost, / Of more delight than hawks or horses be; / And having thee, of all men’s pride I boast’

sonnet 93 - ‘So shall I live, supposing thou art true, / Like a deceived husband’ - just comparing yourself to his HUSBAND. bye
