Things I made today

[sabotabby]

 1. Charoset that looks like vomit but tastes roughly correct:



It's a bit boozier than I remember it being. Probably because all the recipes call for Manischewitz, which has been banned in my household ever since I became a grown-up who lives on her own and drinks actual wine.

2. This logo for my new baseball league:


For those of you who aren't Canadians, it's a reference to this. I want to make baseball jerseys or hoodies or something. After I've cleaned up the design, anyway.

3. A difference in the lives of children. :)

In other news, I still have massive feels about the Black Sails finale so anyone who wants to talk about it with me, please please please. Also, I'm wondering if I should end my paid account on LJ and get a paid account on DW to get more icons.

Will there be actual games of baseball, or is it just a good reason to carry a bat?

That is an awesome logo. I’d sign up for a hoodie.

Yay for making a difference in the lives of children. They are the future after all.

I haven’t watched Black Sails but now feel I should.

Aaah, it was awesome, was it not? (Black Sails). You were right, Flint was capable of happiness! Amazing how they pulled off leaving Flint, Silver, the Maroons, Jack, Ann, and Max in a good place, and Woodes Rogers in a bad place, while not messing with either history or fictional canon too much.

Was Silver right to do what he did? He was manipulating everyone, but he was surely correct that the war Flint and Madi wanted could only have ended with massive loss of life and almost certainly the brutal crushing of the Maroon communities as well as the pirates. But Madi had a right to feel betrayed.

It's amazing just how many times everyone betrayed everyone else, yet you can still sympathise with most of them as characters. (Well, not really Woodes Rogers. Glad he came to a bad end.)

Silver got more and more awesome. And I love Max. Even though she did betray the pirates. (Again, understandable from her pov. What, another fucking war? Do. Not. Want.)

What was your take on it all?

I'm not Canadian and I understood the reference. I feel super proud of myself right now, in light of recent events that have made me feel like an ignorant idiot. :')

I don't know anything about baseball but I would wear something with this design on it and be a hipster.

My friend marina wrote an article about Black Sails for Vice! 'Black Sails' Depicts the Untold Story of Queer Pirates.

Marina is one of my favourite people to read for fannish meta about tv shows that I love despite them being ridiculous.

I am not remotely caught up yet, I should fix that by watching S2 ;-)

oh hai

(Here via content search but I know we have assorted mutual friends and have seen each other around, so hi. *waves*.)

Are you still interested in talking about Black Sails? Because I am VERY MUCH SO.

My recent screamings (and spamming of people with semi-related extracts from The Many-Headed Hydra: Sailors, Slaves, Commoners, and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic) can be found under the tag here:
