The Madonna Of The Carnation

The Madonna of the Carnation

 A/N: I wrote this long ago for a writing competition, but never turned it in due to me feeling it wasn't good enough.

Anne Bonny had been far and wide in the small span of her life. She and her husband had been to places the rich dream of seeing. Constantly traveling had it’s ups and downs. The beauty of the new world in person could not be done justice in the papers and drawings sent to Ireland. The new world was one undiscovered by man for many years and held endless adventure.

    Anne had woken up to the sound of metal clattering to the floor. A cup had fallen from the table in her quarters. The ship was creaking and groaning with the harsh waves of the Atlantic. They were heading for North Carolina after raiding merchant ships from France and Spain. With all the commotion and excitement of their recent winnings, Anne put on socks not bothering to put on boots. 

She made her way down below deck. She arrived where they stored all goods and riches from their pickings and started to sift through them. There was the  usual gold, jewelry, fine china, fine wines and food. However as she kept looking through the loot, a large frame caught her eye. A painting? Why would her crew gather something that had no value or use to the likes of them? The back of the painting had very small writing on it. Leonardo da Vinci 1468; La Madonna del Garofano (The Madonna of the Carnation).

Confused, Anne turned the portrait around and looked at the painting. It was a woman sitting down ,holding a child who was trying to grasp at the flower the woman held in her hand. Looking at the painting for a solid minute, Anne shook away her haze and put the portrait back in it’s place. Goosebumps, covered her skin and a cool breeze filled the empty deck. She decided to go back to her quarters and went back to sleep. As she slept, her dreams were filled with a baby, except she, was the one holding it and the baby looked like a mixture of her and her husband. She laughed as the baby giggled, suckling it’s thumb.

So yesterday I was using a disconnected device with word and it deleted some documents and one was research I had done on colonial flowers. When I connected the device to the internet it made some of the documents disappeared and one of it was the flower document. I am still mad but does anyone know how to recover it somehow?

Ok, but like I had a couple of ideas for fics. If anyone wants to write them since I have like 6+ WIP, go for it. Just tag me so I can read the fic.

1. Ratonhaketon/Connor is found after his mother's death by an reader Assassin woman, in a few years she becomes Haytham's lover, and loves Connor like her own. In the end, she dies by Haytham's hand defending Connor.

2. Shay finds out two years after his incident that his former lover was pregnant when he "died" that night. He goes searching for her and finds out she left the brotherhood to raise her child/children. He tries to make amends with her as well as be a father to his children.

3. A Pirates of the Caribbean and Black Flag crossover.

Red what is Tumblr live and how do I get rid of it

Okay I'm on desktop right now and can't screenshot my phone so please excuse this crappy graphic I just spent like 15 minutes making instead of getting my phone out.

So if your app has updated, you may see this little old fashioned film camera icon at the bottom center. (Why they chose to use an image that the general demographic of tumblr is not going to actually be familiar with, I don't know. Hellsite /affectionate.)

If you click through to it, it'll take you to a tiktokified short videos page. Right now it's mostly nonsense with fake influencers and things, but they're definitely trying to add this function to tumblr just like they have Instagram, Facebook, and obviously that's TikTok's whole brand.

You can just ignore it. OR you can go into Account > Account settings > Dashboard preferences > scroll to the bottom to find a toggle for "Snooze Tumblr Live for the next seven days."

Officially unofficially, Tuesday is Snooze Tumblr Live Tuesday at this point, and every week I go in and snooze it for another seven days. Because I refuse to lose more time of my life to stupid videos on this app like I already do on others. Hellsite. /derogatory

loki: i want a kiss.

y/n: ...

loki: i want a kiss.

y/n: ...

loki: I WANT A KISS 👺

y/n: ALRIGHT!!!

y/n: GOD you were normal yesterday.

So I was transferring my work from one device to another and I lost the document that had all my research on colonial flowers and I am still pissed about that. In the process I also almost lost the Haytham and reader fic. Fuck Microsoft Word.
