The Difficulties of Opening Up Through Words Happy Pride month, my dear readers! I've found a new thing to create stuff about, and that is Our Flag Means Death. It is, without a doubt, one of the queerest and funniest shows I've watched in awhile. And that's why this fic exists, and trust me, there's probably more to come. Probably.
Disclaimer: David Jenkins owns this show. We stan him, and really everyone involved, in this house.
Warning: This fic contains spoilers for the season one finale of Our Flag Means Death.

"Another day has passed. We've traveled to another island, yet there is still no sign of The Revenge or the missing crew. However, those who remain still continue to have faith in me and our mission, and I'm certain that, if we find someone who may know of its whereabouts, we will soon..." With a pained grimace, Stede paused, the tip of the quill still pressed against the paper as he stared down at his words. He could feel it, that terrible knot which once again swelled and tightened inside his stomach. If he did find The Revenge, then what? What would he do after all the trouble he'd caused? The question had crossed his mind more than a hundred times by then, yet he was still no closer to finding an answer. And as it once again plagued his mind, his grip tightened around the quill, before its tip pierced the paper; tearing at the 'n' in soon.
The sound immediately reached his ears, his eyes wide with panic as he quickly lifted the quill up. Now, there was a little black splotch at the end of the sentence.

Happy Pride, everyone, I hope you've all been keeping safe and loving yourself during the queerest month of the year.
Since it's Pride Month, I wanted to highlight one of my lesser drawn characters. Animus: Prince of Hell, son of Lucifer himself, and a being who wishes those first two pointers weren't so well known. Since being anything but cis or straight isn't a big deal in the demonic realm, Animus' sexuality and gender aren't technically things he wonders about, and though he was born intersex, so are most demons. He goes by He/Him due to being Lucifer's son, but They/Them being used in reference to Animus would be fine too. As for sexuality, pansexual makes the most sense to him, but who knows, maybe spending more time with humans will bring forth a new discovery.

As I’m nearing the end of my time in university, I thought I would create a fun little comparison post between the two posters I created during my time as a musical theatre student.
This first poster is from 2020 for my devised piece.
And this poster is from 2021 for a play about Bethlam Royal Hospital. I really enjoyed playing around with the different art styles and colours for both pieces.
Any and all thoughts are much appreciated. Hope you’re all having a lovely day.

Remember the two vials of ready made HJ7 Hyde had been carrying?(Image Taken from Chapter Nine) Yeah. Note that Jekyll only needed one to regain full control. But what about the remaining vial? He came back in Hyde's clothes, which means the vial might still be around; forgotten by the two of them.

rbdecepticon17Reblogged yeahhiyellowthe-sunshine-cult-deactivated20Anonymous asked:Different person, but, I've seen some people who are older in the community claiming that kink and polyamory have historically been considered part of the community. I don't know enough about the history there, do you know anything on that? I've been on the "no" side with those two, but I mean, I don't really know anything that would go against those historical claims, so do you know if are they true?the-sunshine-cult-deactivated20 answered:I don’t know any history surrounding that but kinks and poly are not LGBT+. They deviate from social norms, certainly, but they’re adjectives, not subjects.okay idk if that made sense im not an english major guysbutts-bouncing-on-the-beltwayOkay so I’ve made about a dozen of these posts in the last month or two, so I’m not going to get as exhaustive as I sometimes do, but here’s the history that my mother and aunties taught me about kink and polyamory as queer.When I was growing up, I was told that the kink community was the physical space in which the queer community existed and that non-monogamy/polyamory as the concepts that exist today were born directly out of queer culture and the environments that shaped it.Basically, back in the early years when most of queer culture was an arrestable offense and people mostly only got to meet their partners in the backrooms of old speakeasies and nightclubs, kink spaces were doing the same thing and were one of the only non-mob owned options for gatherings. Kink communities themselves were almost entirely made up of queer folks already anyways because surprise surprise a community made mostly of abuse survivors is gonna have pretty high rates of queer folks in it. And because of the semi-public nature of the spaces and the limited safe dating options polyamory and related non-monogamous practices became common place.They became so common place in fact that queerness and queer culture completely and foundationally shaped the discussions around consent, relationship needs, emotional connections, and ethical behavior that became central to kink and polyamory as practices. They became so common place in part because it made sense, in part because the cultures all needed each other, and in part because, as my mother always said, “if society had already damned you just for being queer, what did you have to lose by trying all the other things society was going to damn you for as well?” This, incidentally, is also why there have historically been such high numbers of queer folk in illegal occupations like sex work and why my mom and aunties also used to consider sex work as a culture pretty fucking queer too.But the years went by and your average, “respectable” white gay and lesbian folks with their picket fence day dreams started making progress. They started kicking people to the curb in an effort to make queerness look less “challenging” and different. Bye bye, bisexuals, bye bye drag and trans culture, bye bye non-monogamy what do you mean you actually think the “slippery slope” to gay marriage also leading to polygamy might be a good thing? Bye bye all you sex freaks, sexuality is something your born with and you can’t help who you love, it’s not like all that disgusting talking-about-sex-and-building-the-entire-network-of-sex-ed-information-we-used-to-desperately-try-and-survive-the-AIDS-crisis-ew-you-perverts-our-sex-is-beautiful-and-pure-like-marriage! And so on and so forth.See, when it was all about survival, the distinction that Straight people drew between gay, kinky, polyamorous, trans, ace, etc was irrelevant. They’d kill us all the same so we might as well band together and make a world in which the next generation might not just live but thrive. But once it became about gaining access to state acceptance and making room within the legal framework that already existed, those of us who were too scary to Straight society, who still needed the hierarchy destroyed, not just expanded, became dead weight. Our labor, our physical space, our intellectual efforts all became irrelevant and all that mattered was when the Straights looked at White Cis Gays they saw Us instead. So the White Cis Gays fixed that by making it clear they thought we were just as disgusting as the Straights thought we were. They abandoned us and took our history and our language and our fucking lives with them and said we weren’t ~allowed~ to have it. And because those of us who were marginalized in many ways or who were doubly or triply damned were more likely to have suffered massive losses during the AIDS crisis and to still be living in poverty, in crime, and in general destitution of social capital, we’ve been fighting an uphill battle not to be erased ever since.So now you have a whole generation or two or three who grew up being told a sanitized history where a “drag queen” threw the first brick at Stonewall, Pride wasn’t started by one of the bisexual Queens of Kink, and non-monogamy hasn’t been the natural progression of so many of our communities for generations. And they tell us we never existed, we’re just secret straighties thinking our gross sex lives make us queer, we could just choose to be respectable and “normal” like everyone else and then we wouldn’t be “bullied” (because god forbid our actual oppression be recognized) and they completely miss the irony.And as much as I hate that I have to list my credentials in order for there to be a chance in burning hell for this response to be considered legitimate, I am the nonbinary, bisexual, polyamorous, kinky, intersex child of a bisexual, kinky, polyamorous woman who spent all of my life and most of hers in the heart of Queer culture and politics to the point that she put me on the stand in front of the entire school board and a third of the state at age 10 to fight for our right to participate in the Day of Silence without fear of suspension, expulsion, abuse, or injury/death. I was on my mother’s hip at the state capitol protests with police in riot gear ready to do whatever it took to prevent us from entering the building. I am Queer in so many ways, including ones no one can dare fucking argue and so was my mother before me and my aunties before her, and this is THEIR history I am telling and will keep telling until I’m dead because I will rot before I let people erase their memories, blood, and joy from our history by claiming that kink and polyamory don’t belong.I apologize for that all sounding angry and upset. It is not aimed at anyone in particular. I am just very very tired and it’s almost Passover which means that my auntie’s are a lot more on my brain than usual and I am just so exhausted by the way I have been mocked and belittled for months now over things that were simply Truth when I was growing up. Please understand how much history is denied and how many ancestors are dishonored by this rhetoric of “who REALLY belongs in the community?”We were not supposed to be an exclusive club with a guard at the gate. We were supposed to be a role model by which society learned to better itself and treat us ALL with dignity and humanity. And I am tired of seeing people pretend otherwise.gray-ace-spacethis is so important #RB Reblogs#Please read this and understand our history.

rbdecepticon17A Quiet Valentine’s NightSince I’ve previously focused quite a bit on my Hyde, I thought I’d give some love (or angst, in this case) to my Jekyll. Honestly, I’m quite proud of this piece, especially the lighting and the use of coloured lineart, and hopefully the story I’m trying to tell through it isn’t too hard to notice.As always, likes, reblogs and feedback are greatly appreciated.#RB's Art#My Henry Jekyll
rbdecepticon17Rebloggedbkworm5FollowThe Glass Scientists: Info from the Author's Notes (Chapter 1)"This first part of TGS [Chapter 1] takes place in Bethnal Green, an infamous Victorian slum which, in this alternate universe, is plagued not only by crime and poverty but also a frequent influx of supernatural creatures. I chose it mostly because it was a part of London's East End (generally, the place where Unpleasant Things Happened) but it wasn't Whitechapel. Whitechapel is a popular neighborhood to use in Victorian-y Steampunk-y stories--especially Jekyll and Hyde stories-- because that is the neighborhood where the whole Jack the Ripper thing went down."Every time Jasper does the "glow-y barf-y thing" his appearance changes. Either becoming more or less wolf-like. The carriage Jekyll uses is a Brougham carriageSabrina describes Jekyll's voice as "-a voice of infinite calm. It is not a loud voice, but it is one you can hear even across a crowded room--or, in this case, past a rowdy, screaming mob. It is patient and warm and confident.""Church Grims are guardian spirits of graveyards. Once, it was thought that the first person buried in a new graveyard would protect the spirits of the dead from the devil, but at some point someone decided to delegate the work to man's best friend--they buried living black dogs in graveyards so that their souls would become Church Grims. In recent times, their zombie-like appearance has earned them an unfair reputation as omens of death"Jekyll got Zosi after his graveyard was destroyed by a factory explosionJekyll named Zosi after the ancient Greek alchemist Zosimos of Panopolis, because, and I quote, Jekyll is "a huge stupid nerd"#RB Reblogs#Once again for any writers/artists who might need this info.
rbdecepticon17Rebloggedbkworm5FollowThe Glass Scientists: Info from the Author's Notes (Chapter 2)The title of chapter 2, “Being for the Benefit of Dr. Jekyll,” is a reference to the Beatles song “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite” Sabrina used it to set the tone of this chapter, “that of a whimsical, slightly haunted circus with a larger-than-life ringleader” (Jekyll being the ringleader ofc ♥) It’s also very fitting because the song itself was inspired by a mid-Victorian circus ad of the same name“Whereas most werewolves only transform at the full moon, Jasper transforms during any night a moon is clearly visible, and his wolf form tends to wobble back and forth between various combinations of -wolf and were-“Sabrina calls the exterior of the Society for Arcane Sciences “the facade” which is 1) definitely a reference to the Jekyll and Hyde musical and 2) a recurring theme in Jekyll’s life“Jekyll is concerned, above all else, that people’s first impression of the Society be of respectability and reasonableness. But beyond the facade, he allows the building’s residents more free reign–he has to, or else risk stifling their creative powers. And so there we can see glimpses of the Society as it truly is: a big, unruly pit of gears and smoke. Respectability in the front, madness in the back. So yeah, it’s a rogue science mullet.““The Society’s exterior is based largely off the Royal College of Surgeons in London.“ Which includes Sabrina’s favorite London museum: The Hunterian Museum The person whose belongings fill the museum, John Hunter, was one of the inspirations for Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll (aka The OG)The atrium of the Society is based off of the interior of the Paris Natural History MuseumThe Lodgers are pretty sure the Leviathan skeleton isn’t completely deadThe Lodgers are “the rowdy children in a big, weird, happy family. Jekyll is the mom. Mum, rather.““Archer is loyal, energetic, and ambitious, but also quite stubborn. He often butts heads with the much mellower Mr. Bird and prefers to spend his free time with the other young Lodgers, often staying out late on the town. In other words … he’s one of Jekyll’s problem children.“Jekyll holds a poisonous flower (wolfsbane) way too close to comfort. Because just like all rogue scientists, he is not known for stellar safety practices (which, considering he mixes up a bunch of chemicals and downs them without testing it on literally any living being before him…yeah that holds)Dr. Maijabi’s covered eye has a kind of “spectral vision.” Maijabi’s non-covered eye is adjusted to seeing our world and his covered eye is adjusted to seeing the supernatural world. The eye-patch prevents it from re-adjusting to our world. (This is based on the idea that pirates would use eye-patches to train one eye to see better in the dark and the other to see better in the light.)Dr. Maijabi is aboriginal AustralianAll characters are bisexual, unless stated otherwiseThe term “bisexual” will probably not be used on page, as it did not exist in 1885 (the setting of the story)“The world of The Glass Scientists is almost entirely like our own, with the exception that certain old-timey scientific oddities are now scientific fact–Jekyll’s neo-alchemy, the Hollow Earth theory, phlogiston … stuff like that.“Mr. Helsby is based on Captain Nemo, a character in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the SeaMr. Helsby is an exploratory bathynaut. He works on deep-sea submarines, diving bells, and underwater shipsMr. Luckett often says, “Every challenge has a solution no matter how unlikely the solution is or how bad the problem is. So… Chin up.” Rachel likes to play pranks on Jekyll, to the point where he “ has long since gotten used to this kind of morbid tomfoolery from her” Jekyll is “enormously concerned with staying on the Lodgers’ good side and upholding his reputation as A Good Guy and not some stuffy administrator (putting the “pal” in “princiPAL”), which is why he tends to express his frustration in little moments of micromanagement rather than outright control.” The Society has a lot of safety measures built into its structure (i.e. cutting edge fire escapes, ventilation) “Hyde is not subtle when he talks. He never conceals his attempts at emotional manipulation. Even his cleverness is painfully obvious (think: high school kid who looks up all the big words in the dictionary and seems to have a fixed, uncomfortable smirk at all times).“ This is because he, like all our inner voices, have a “direct hotline to that part of your brain that feels stuff.”“Hyde is a big, big fan of Irish music and often sings songs to himself when he’s in a good mood.““Jekyll’s office is filled with custom-made glass cabinets housing all of his alchemical supplies, as well as just about everything scientific he has collected over the years. Every single item in those cabinets has deep sentimental value to Jekyll, but he hasn’t taken any of them out in years. Most days he doesn’t even look at them. The office also has thick red curtains which drench the room in a vaguely Hellish light“#RB Reblogs#Keeping hold of this for future use.#Any other writers/artists might find all this useful.

The window on the other side was open, allowing the light of the setting sun to come streaming in.

The moment passed quickly and as he blinked, he saw his best friend in a new light (ha).The sunset behind turned Henry’s brown hair into the most beautiful gradients of reds, oranges and yellows.
