Summary:

There is a quality, Hal Gates thinks in the back of his mind, to an abandoned stretch of coast. It’s meant, for one, to be abandoned – devoid of people. Home to birds and the like – and not, he thinks, kicking once again at the pieces of his wrecked boat, bloody fucking useless idiot pirates too stupid to not go out in a ship-killer in a launch out of some stupid desire to avoid having a drink with the man who may have killed his son.

In which Gates lives, and the events of Season 1 play out very differently.

holy shit there is a name for it

Well damn. Explains a lot.

Suddenly I understand some of my fan base a LOT better. That is Awesome.

“holy shit there is a name for it” was my reaction before I even scrolled down to the comments.

I just need to keep reblogging this because I cannot even begin to tell you how profound a feeling of YES and THIS and THERE IS A WORD FOR ME OMG I get every time I see this, and I hope it helps others too.

seriously, anytime you see a post with a comment saying “theres a name for it?!” reblog that post because even if it doesnt apply to you any of your followers could be waiting for that revelation.
