#wineblogging

Fair warning - I've had a glass of wine, I'm a lightweight, and an amorous drunk.

fave ed gif

I mean, an entire life of male-gaze cinema has trained me to read this as sexy, and boy howdy did it succeed. The toe-to-head "this is the love interest" pan. His fingers skating down his chest in a teasing caress. His cock(ed) pistol. And then you throw in how blazingly hot Taika looks in that wig and beard and leather? The flesh is weak, your honor. And the lizard-brain is even weaker.

fave stede gif

Relatable af, but also, I want to hug him and put him in my pocket for safe-keeping. He looks like a live-action Podling. I love his ridiculous face.

fave ed outfit

I love the classic leathers, and he's the prettiest princess in purple, but my answer is this outfit, specifically right here. The superb fit of the breeches and how well the color complements his complexion. shirt partially untucked and open to the chest. Then him, just laying there with his legs sprawled and drinking directly from the decanter. Look me in the eye and tell me that he doesn't look thoroughly debauched and debauchable.

fave stede outfit

It's a tie between the wedding outfit

and the navy taffeta with brick-red lace trim during the "Arthur's kind eyes" flashback.

What can I say - I'm a slut for red and blue, and the specific hues matched in these two outfits make my brain sing. I covet the fabric of Stede's wedding outfit like burning.

fave blackbonnet song

"Leather and Lace" by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley for them getting together, "Stranded" by Heart for them falling apart. (White Flag by Dido for the reunion IDC if I'm jumping the gun).

fave ofmd fic trope

If you write Stede and Ed engaging in all manner of sexytimes, but Stede is convinced it's anything OTHER than Ed being in love with him because How Could Ed Be In Love With HIM ("this is just what pirates do and we're pirates, so...", "ed is helping me get acclimated to being more casual about touching", "ed is such a good friend to let me do this", etc.)? I'm yours.

ed's hair or stede's hair

So here's the thing. My hair is v. similar to the Ed wig. Long, dark, wavy, shot with silver streaks. It's v. distinctive and defining - like to the point that my college advisor would tell underclassmen to go talk to "the girl with the hair" and they would find me on that description alone (and that a high school teacher once wrote me a v. inappropriate poem entitled 'The Lady With Hair'). And I love my hair. I cut it all off several years ago to donate to Wigs 4 Kids, and while I don't regret the donation, the following few years while it grew back out were TORTURE. So I wouldn't trade it for anything. BUT, if I weren't so deeply lazy, and burdened by sensory issues, I would be serving mid-century high-femme all the times, and Stede's highly styled and shaped curls are The Dream.

longest i've gone between rewatches

It's been awhile, actually? I mean, I rarely go more than a week or two without checking back in on one specific scene or another to make sure I'm remembering it correctly before I mouth off about something here or on Discord, but it's been months since I've watched an episode from end to end. I am planning a full re-watch before the new season drops, though.

hiding in the ship lucius vs. ghost lucius

I was an early adopter of hiding in ship. Like one of my first posts as dancing-with-the-madmen was about how he climbed the un-scraped barnacles on the hull like a climbing wall (we have fun making jokes here at spoondick llc ™,©, ®).

favorite crew member

How v. dare. Rude. Ask me to pick a fav muppet next, why don't you. Gun to my head? Prolly Buttons. He's so deeply and wonderfully weird.

If lightsabers can cut through any metal other than Beskar

And lightsabers themselves are thin on the ground on account of the Jedi genocide

Then meeting up with Din might be literally first time Luke has ever had the opportunity to spar with someone for fun, with no intent to kill them, in his entire life. 

Would he even understand what to do with himself?  Would he get that this strange bubbling feeling in his chest is ‘fun’?  Would Din have to walk him through it, because friendly spars were absolutely a thing in covert culture, and that is fully half of the way he conveys affection in any given relationship like his friendships with Cara and Boba?  Would he introduce Luke to the language of affectionate arm-locks and silly bets? 

“about as wild as a cabbage patch kid”

You can’t tell me that Cal doesn’t cruise in to the Yavin 4 Jedi Academy like the galaxy’s coolest uncle.  He goes on weird archeology adventures.  He grabbed some space weed to grow in the Mantis terrarium.  He duel wields and staff wields and does crazy wall parkour.  He has a unique and timeless poncho style. 

I don’t like Luke giving up and becoming a hermit. I don’t like Luke pulling a sword on Ben Solo when he was willing to forgive Anakin Skywalker. But Luke being kind of weird and withdrawn and ornery? I can absolutely see it.

Adrien’s crossed belts that barely touch his pants and literally hold up nothing.  He looks like he narrowly escaped a Tetsuya Nomura game and is hiding out underground to keep from being inflicted with superfluous zippers. 

Trevor’s ass-cape that he wears UNDERNEATH A REGULAR CAPE,  What, is his ass so spectacular that he needs to take extra precautions to keep it fro, confusing and enrapturing passerby?  Nobody needs double capes, my dude, come on.  

Sypha can apparently run around in sandals during the middle of an eastern European winter and still having all of her toes.  Maybe it is her true superpower.
