They'll speak of me in whispered tones and say my name like it shakes their bones - a Captain Flint/James McGraw playlist
My humble tribute to this incredible character and his equally incredible story.
Hope this makes him justice.

I was the one who asked Lana the SwanQueen question at the Enchanted Con. I want to take this time to apologise for the confusion I’ve caused. This was my first Con and I was very over-excited and nervous all at once. I was the last scheduled question before the Q&A closed and I wanted to take the opportunity to ask Lana a, unique, question but I didn’t anticipate how crazy the fallout was going to be. Here is the transcript of my question:
“In season 7, as a result of the season 7 curse, it was revealed that the story travelled back in time and the events of Hyperions Heights ran parallel with an older time of Storybrooke. Wherein there exists another Regina and another Emma in addition to the original Storybrooke timeline. With the laws of time, including the ripple effect, do you care to give your opinion on whether you believe that in this alternate Storybrooke - SwanQueen exists?”
Watching Season 7, I perceived the time-jump as a creation of a second, alternate, Storybrooke that ran parallel with the original timeline as well as the Wish Realm and Hyperion Heights. So, I saw at least 4 active universes, in Once, running at the same time. I was curious to know if, like me, Lana believed that SQ existed, or could exist, in this older, alternate, version of Storybrooke.
Despite the confusion, my question received a positive reaction from the audience. Shout out to my fellow SQ shippers! Lana answered by saying that she believed that Regina was single, living with Henry in the mansion. She even joked about Granny possibly living there to which Bex bantered back about a ship with Granny! 😂 Lana continued saying that, from her perspective, she couldn’t answer honestly and that my question was more suited for Adam & Eddy. Bex, bless her, added that SwanQueen COULD exist in a parallel universe! THANK YOU BEX! 💚
Later, when receiving my autograph from Lana, I apologised to her personally for the confusion. She very graciously said that she wasn’t at all confused and elaborated by telling me that the events of the time-jump Storybrooke take place after Season 6 and that Hook and Emma were already married. I told her, “We can dream.” to which she agreed, “We can.” ❤️ I told her she was an angel and that I loved her very much. I blew her a kiss and she responded with her trademark MWAH! 💋 THANK YOU LANA! 💜👑
So, to everyone responding controversially to this whole situation, please remember that Lana has always openly supported all the ships and the LGBTQ community! As do I! Please be kind to everyone in the fandom and remember to love and love each other.
Once again, I apologise for any trouble I’ve caused in the fandom, to my fellow Swan Queen shippers, or to Lana!
THANK YOU ALL AND SEE YOU AT ENCHANTED 2!

These are so beautiful! Also all the other ones, but these last five are my favourite!
I'm the kind of person who looks for tarots about any fandom she steps into, so thank you so much for this gift!
And like...one of the problems with thematic tarots is that so often their creators choose aesthetic over meaning, which is not my favourite interpretation of it. Instead you united both aesthetic and meaning (and I love the meaning) and...wow!
Thank you for sharing!
(The world🥺🥺🥺)
the star, moon, and sun as max, anne, and jack came to me in a holy vision and i'm still so pleased that i found images of them all sitting and oriented the same way. trio of all time
and that's it! i only did the major arcana bcs any more would've killed me lol. i think i finished the final versions in november, so it's been almost a full year and, despite the flaws i still see, i still really love this project!
I have known you like no other, so I love you like no other. LOUISE BARNES as MIRANDA BARLOW & TOBY STEPHENS as CAPTAIN FLINT BLACK SAILS (2014 - 2017)
My captain🖤☠ (and king).
Perfect description.
I'd forgotten how exceptional the first episode of Black Sails and the introduction of Captain Flint are. In one (1) episode they point to this soggy, angry little man and go: this is the most dangerous pirate of the seven seas. he wouldn't even win a swordfight. he beat someone to death with his bare fists and is ready to do it again. he probably cries himself to sleep at night. he's the most collected, composed man you've ever seen. he throws furniture around in a fit when he's angry. he talks about the importance of trust and honesty. he doesn't believe any of it. he can completely change someone's mind when he talks to them. the people closest to him know not to trust a single word that comes out of his mouth. he's in control of the narrative. he's trapped in a web of lies of his own making. he's made himself into a legend. everything he's built is just one second away from falling apart. he inspired a whole nation. he's the number one public enemy. he's a hero. he's a monster. he's just one man. he's starting a war against the whole world.
In the end, that's all I want - to walk away from the sea and find some peace.
How true their relationship was. An honest alliance and, as strange as it may feel to define it like this, a disinterested one.
Jack struggle to avenge Charles is really touching to me. Like...for people living like they lived, a loyalty (and a friendship) such as that really is the most precious treasure.
