Guys – friends – people of the internet, my followers all of you and members of the Black Sails fandom – 

Look, I just want to say thank you all so much. You’re a good bunch, you know that? I said “hey, life just shat on me,” and over the past two weeks, you’ve stepped up to the plate, given me a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand, and the sense that I’m not alone, and that’s been so, so important. A bunch of you have donated actual money on ko-fi, and for that I’m more grateful than I can possibly say. Things are still rough. I’ve applied to a lot of places, put in more applications than I can even count, drafted probably dozens of cover letters, even had an interview – things are going to get turned around, they’re just not there yet. But with your help and support and love, I think I can do this, where two weeks ago I was reeling and hurting and wondering what the hell the point of the last ten years or so had been. I’m still working on being ok again, and I don’t think I’ll be entirely there until I’ve managed to get hired again, but I’m a lot closer to it and that’s fucking miraculous and in absolutely no small part it’s been down to all of you, so thank you – thank you so, so much.
