Alle Kunst ist der Freude gewidmet

So, I made a separate comm for my pirate AU 8D It's called hangmans_vault , which is the name of Izzy´s tavern. But nobody calls it that anyway; they all say "let's go to Izzy´s". It's just the name the tavern had for, like, ages. So, all my pirate meta will go over there~ Am still trying to get everything over there~

Also, wrote some Fado/Catalina drabbles during class 8D God, I love those two~

ANDANDAND, THIS IS RELEVANT TO MY INTEREST LIKE WOAH:

It annoys me so unbelievably much that I seemed to have lost the little plot of my pirate AU I had. >( Gargl.

Also, I can't find my Edda. Which also kinda annoys me, but at least I still have the Reclam booklet. But still. My Edda >(

I've noticed that I ship Fado/Hayden in all forms; m/m, f/m, f/f. Everything is awesome. Which lead me to the conclusion that Fado is definitely bi with a preference for women. Because boobs. Boobs (gotta love the sound of it). Now, the same is not true for Hayden. I see him as straight; he is not attracted to men or the male physic in general (the reverse is true if he's a girl). Fado is the only exception. He is fadosexual, so to speak 8D

Since we're on the topic of FemHayden. Still no good name yet. I thought of Halida, but I don't really like the sound. :( (Oh, and that is a real name even. Surprised me.)

Ya know. That icon wasn't supposed to sound/look shippy. But in conjunction with this post it kinda does XD

Edit: I'm reading a dissertation about a ship´s surgeon from the end of the 18th century and his observation about the spreading of diseases on ships and it's terribly interesting. Hopefully I can use some bits in my pirate AU 8D Also, it gives me a better feel for life on a ship.

Edit 2:

I want to ask you a favour of you all. I want to write a few characterization practice drabbles with the brokings, but I need a few lines they can react to. So would you just give me a random line (not as a narrator but a line of dialog)? Nothing cracky, please, because I want to train my srs characterization. (If you can't come up with something non-cracky, oh well, give me the crack 8D)

So, I'm trying to draw a map of my as-of-yet still unnamed "Carribean Islands". I really need a name soon. Will later raid the internet and see if Name Generators are just funny or even helpful XD

Also, meme? Uhnnnn, I dunno. Not in the mood 8/ First map.

Ugh, brain. Card =/= map. Switch to English, please.

When I'm trying to fall asleep my brain often wanders and yesterday it decided to contemplate bro pairings - what a surprise! 8D So, I came to some conclusions; some of them astound me.

First; Fadia/Vigarde and Fadia/Hayden are awesome. I love them both. Though for several reasons I always choose Fadia/Vigarde. (Fadia and Hayden often had situtations where it was easy to transgress from "friends" to "lovers" but they always decided against it.)

Second; Fadia/Fem!Hayden is awesome. My brain decided that and even came up with an adorbale confession scene >< Both are cute~ But. I can't see Fadia/Fem!Vigarde. I tried but it doesn't work. Strange. But not as strange as point 3.

Third; I can neither see Fado/Hayden nor Fado/Vigarde. For unknown reasons I can't see any maleslash there. I tried but my mind always goes blank. Very strange. Maybe I just prefer the platonic broship. But then, it's nice that it's not always about romantic love, isn't it.

I conclude that I'm still in a "het and gen" phase, but "femslash" is sneaking in as well. At least fembroslash 8D

Also, the positions on the navy and pirate ship are more or less fixed now:

( Navy )

( Pirates )

Also, I've decided that the pirate story will have a third person narrator who is omniscient, but concentrates on a few characters; namely, Hayden, Fado and Viggy, maybe Tana and there might be a few scenes with Aileen (but I'm not sure about them yet). Hayden and Fado&Viggy are definitely the main characters, everyone else will only get the focus in special scenes. 8D

I have a plot XD God, I really have a plot (no end yet, but hey, it's still more than I thought I would ever have) More on ships later. And a bit about the pirates, probably.

For now... I hate modern literature DX God, I hope the seminar becomes more interesting soon or I have a problem. Uni makes me hate literature. Or at least literature that I formerly only disliked. Mostly because I HAVE to take a course about modern literature. I hates yous.

Mansel - Admiral of the Fleet; he stays at home in blabla country and is everybody´s boss (mostly Hayden´s, but you know what I mean)

Hayden - Full Admiral (he needs a Vice-Admiral and a Rear-Admiral, but there are no candidates yet. Gilliam would be a choice but I want him to be a pirate in a kilt XD) had his own squadron at home and gets transferred to country XYZ where pirates are doing naughty things. Mostly because Hayden is famous for smartness and being good at capturing pirates. Country XYZ would be modelled after the Carribean. Because all pirates come from there XD Also, islands. And he has a pipe 8D
He is also the captain of his own ship. So he doesn't have an extra captain for the ship he's travelling on. The other ships of his squadron have their own captains. (Hayden just likes the responsibilities of being a captain) But he also has a second-in-command who helps him, because being an admiral and a captain would even be for Hayden too much. I may assign Moulder that role. Just because he deserves it.

Tana - Midshipmen, shortly before her promotion as a Master´s Mate; Tana fought surprisingly long with her father before she was allowed to become a sailor. Hayden was all frowny in the beginning but when it became clear that Tana was a natural talent he was grudgingly okay with it. They've never sailed together because, uhm, bias would definitely be there XD. However, in the beginning of the as-of-yet not existing story, she sneaks on board (another midshipmen has to resign suddenly and she takes his spot; why she is allowed to stay has yet to be found out 8D) so she can have adventures.

Innes - Rear-Admiral; he doesn't appear in the story. He is doing things somewhere else.

Aileen - nurse/doctor; she follows Hayden and Tana after she finds out that Tana left. She was not amused by that and almost worried herself sick. Still very emotional and ass-kicking.

Fado - Captain. Has been a pirate all his life; it's more or less family business. He has been captain for more than ten years at least. He has an extreme cool tricorn. He denies that he is the owner of the cheesy romance novels on board; everybody knows that they are his. Teasing is only allowed when both parties are drunk. Only Catalina is allowed to tease him when sober.

Viggy - Lieutenant/Quartermaster/the dude who steers the ship (Fado´s second-in-command) First I wanted to give him his own crew, but then I would have to juggle two pirate crews. Also, I want my BFFs together ;A; Besides, Viggy is too often distracted by boobs to efficiently lead a ship. Oh yes. (The complete distribution of Viggy´s and Fado´s rights/duties is not fixed yet ;P)

Seth - Master; he navigates. And has an eyepatch and is married to Eirika. I ship it on a ship XD /is shot

Ephraim - Master´s Mate; learns the way of the pirate (navigation) from Seth. However, he would rather be a gunner. But Fado wants him to become a captain later as well and he should know what the Master is talking about. (First lances and now cannons?)

Knoll - Surgeon; second Viggy spawn. He is very good at his job and wears glasses.

Lyon - Surgeon´s mate; in general a bit useless because he gets seasick so often. Everybody hopes he grows out of it soon. (He's been on board for two years.) Before that he stayed on the shore because he was even more sickly than Knoll. (Knoll got better while living on ship; Viggy hopes it works with Lyon as well) (Epic love story with Ephraim? XD)

Eirika - might become a Boatswain, not sure yet; loves to be on sea. Married to Seth and probably wears the pants in that relationship. Fado was unsure if it would be smart to take a married couple on board, but nothing negative has happened yet.

Izzy - "Tavern wench"; she owns the tavern in the pirate´s hometown. Everybody loves and fears her. Her husband died years ago on sea. Joshie rather wanted to become a mercenary, but he writes home. Not regularly, but hey, at least something.

Catalina - practically the town mayor. The real mayor is lazy and so she takes care of everything. Everybody is okay with that because she is much more capable than he. Also, the town is pretty small so there is not that much to do anyway.

Minna - no specified job; she's very sickly, but she has some medical knowledge. Sometimes she also helps Ismaire with the tavern (mostly bookkeeping). Also, since she is one of the few people in that town with a higher education, she teaches. (She moved with her parents from blabla country to country XYZ when she was about 16, maybe)

Cormag - probably Commander or Captain of one ship under Innes´ command; does not appear in the main story 8D (Yeah, I don't like writing him XD So obvious~)

Gilliam - Quartermaster; either pirate or marine.  I don't know yet, but the position is perfect for him :3

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, I probably forgot someone or something, but that is what I've got until now 8D Piratessssssss~
