Madi – Black Sails
A late portrait study for the Madi Appreciation Week! Main reference was the scene in episode XXXII (4.04) where she rides a horse. Please, do not repost elsewhere 🙂
Education: I have made a Standard.
Linguists: you fucked up a perfectly good vernacular is what you did. look at it. it’s got elitism.
I’m telling you right now if you think authors only read your comment on their fic once you are dead wrong
#haha yeah#and sometimes if we’re having a bad day or feel like our writing is crap we’ll re-read and entire story’s worth of comments#to try to get back into writing mode (tags @sitabethel)
okay but i literally did exactly that today. i reread every single comment ever posted to haunted (both ff and ao3) before i sat down to write.Â
sexonthebeachisadrink mentioned you in a photoset
@flintsredhair I’ve always leave comments
Yes you have, and I cannot possibly express how much I appreciate that and how far it goes in keeping me writing and coming up with new fic ideas. Comments = happy motivated authors. It can’t be said too often.

Gates: It’s a bulldog. I’m getting it! We even look the same.
James: Hal no.
Gates: Hal Yes!
Madi Appreciation Week Day 7:Â Free Choice: Madi+Books
This was inspired by the Madi’s Library Appreciation post by @beanarie !
It got me thinking more about her books, how they might have come to the island, sent to her by Mr Scott, or brought there by others, and then there were a lot of Thoughts, and it kind of went from there, so… little musings/ficlet(?) thing(?) below
Books were a precious thing in the Maroon Camp.
I love that Idelle, a character introduced as basically “background prostitute” in episode 1, goes on to be a major supporting character, gets one of the most iconic speeches in the entire show and becomes one of the people ruling Nassau in the end. That alone is enough to make any comparison to game of thrones complete bullshit, like, sex workers get to be actual humans… with personalities. Who don’t die in creepy sexualized ways.
hi im bitter about people not commenting on fics. im sad seeing all these authors get so discouraged because no one comments. it takes like 5 seconds! just do it!!
dont know what to type? me neither! heres some handy pre-written comments for you!
“I dont know what to comment! That was great! thank you for your hard work!”
“That was lovely! I really enjoyed this chapter/fic.”
“How dare you?”
“AAAAAAAAAAAAA”
“Extra kudos because one is not enough!”if you read a fic and dont know what to say, leave the tab open, come back later! see if theres a line you really liked! tell them if it reminded you of something dumb! tell them if your roommate saw you crying while reading it and now your roommate is reading it!!! SHARE WHATEVER. BE INCLUSIVE!
everyone wants to hear SOMETHING. silence kills passion. show authors you care!
show artists you care!!!!ÂLike this

^THIS, I NEVER KNOW IF ANYTHING I WRITE IS THAT GOOD, OR IF THERE’S THINGS I CAN IMPROVE ON! I’m a big girl I can take criticism, please comment.
