My Toxic Trait Is Going On Pinterest And Thinking I Can Draw Everything

(Pirate) Ship Roles for the Crew!

-------------------☆~>

Captain: On non-government ships, the Captain is voted by the ship's crew. Can be replaced by majority votes. They're expected to be great in battle, navigation and seamanship. Need to be a leader personality.

Quarter Master: Sort-of vice Captain, takes on the role of Captain when he's unavailable. Also elected to represent the interests of the crew. In turn he received extra booty. He also maintains order, settles quarrels and distributes all goods. Keeps records and account books for the ship.

Sailing Master/Navigator: In charge of navigation and sailing of the ship.

Boatswain: Supervises the maintenance of the vessel and its supply stores. Inspects the condition of the ship each morning and reports to the captain. In charge of all deck activities.

Carpenter : Responsible for maintenance and repair. Often, due to the tools, he would jump in as an emergency surgeon, too.

Master Gunner: In charge of the ship's ammunition and weaponry.

Mate(s), First Mate: On a large ship, there's often more than one (That's why First Mates exist). Served as an apprentice to the ship's Carpenter, Gunner, Boatswain and Master. Hard worker.

A.B.S. (Able Bodied Sailor, Common Sailor): Helps out with anything and everything, really! Has knowledge of most necessary things, like some navigation, steering, ..

Rigger: Works the running rigging and the furling and unfurling of the sails. Constant risk of falling!

Cabin Boy(s): Young boys who work on the ship as servants. Usually runaways or kidnapped from another ship.

Powder Monkey: Young boys who run gunpowder from below decks up to the cannons during battle.

Swab/Swabbie: Mop the decks. Has also become a slang for people you do not hold highly.

You can write "seamen", as in a kind of sailor, but once you say it out loud... 🧐

Alright i got a fic idea if you want!

Imagine viktor working late and sleeping in the lab and jayce joining him

(Not sure if you'd rather it be sfw or not but both could work with this start i think ^^)

That sounds incredibly cute! I think this could be a nice little thing to do. Especially since our boy is overworked.

I can just imagine Jayce taking a little care of him and staying there with him while perhaps being a bit anxious about having left him alone the whole day and all, and just feeling viktor shift on him, which pulls him back out of those thoughts and has him smile.

I do prefer sfw works as long as I am writing fanfiction. At least here, cause i do not know much about Viktor's.. seggsual activities, and i like to portray the characters in ways i know them well.

While certainly he's old enough, and we have seen Jayce be nsfw, the show not being against it, i just like to stay on the safe side with this one. ^^

So I recently bought the collector's hardbacks for this savage song and our dark duet. I haven't read the books yet, but the descriptions, the covers, everything SO GOOD.

And yes, I looked at the last lines of each book, I'm a self-spoiler. I know, problematic but it is what it is.

These books are gorgeous and best quality. Only paid 40€ for them, too. I am amazed.

Can't wait to read!

That moment when you just scroll through pinterest for character visuals and SUDDENLY there's a picture that makes you put something completely new and random into the plot, even add another person into it and question whether you're not doing too much.

Romanticising

Actually romanticising my life or at least certain points of it, makes it much much better. Reading, but do it with candles, a good hot chocolate, a nice surrounding: Much better. Studying but do it with good music and surroundings? Hell yeah. Taking a walk but it's in autumn and you can see the many colours swirling around your boots? Yas.

Slay life.

I just decided to also serve as a prompt maker, as really, I might need ideas but, for others, I often prove to be helpful. SO, requests are open! I'll post now and then, notes and prompts and writing help, for myself and others. Join in if you'd like!

Viktor as a Deity?

You had it coming for ya! Arcane and Witchcraft? I'm a witch and a writer, it had to happen. I thought of something.

Since I am a witch and I am working with Lucifer, I have thought back to the times I saw people include fictional characters in their craft. And with all of the Jesus talk going on about him...

Well, I never quite understood it or had a fictional character deity pull, but now, I do, and I feel like especially with such a big fandom, the energy has collected and it would not be far off to work with him in this way.

In my case, I am speaking of S2 Herald Viktor, with a hint of end of S2 Viktor. But, as with any deity, we will not forget his past either and what has shaped him.

SO! Guys. I am making a full on document about Viktor as a deity. The Machine Herald as our own deity for actual deity work, with full on associations, own-experience specific signs, divination preferences, etc. Including candle preferences, colours, and even Stars I have picked out as a personal astronomy nerd.

As a preview, I did not stick to our solar system, apologies. If you want to know so bad.... I chose Rigel and Vega for many reasons and Lyra as the constellation association.

Let me know what you think and if I should make the doc public soon and post about my thoughts behind it! So willing to share with you.

And so far, Lucifer has been cool with this also. They seem to work together nicely.

Would you like me to make the document public by the end of this month? I do take suggestions on parts of this, too! So put in your opinions in the comments, I read and answer every one!

Peace,

Kasper

Lol alright let's do it.

1. Homeward Drowned

2. No. But my second draft title was Driftwood Souls. I liked Homeward Drowned (reference to the words homeward bound, but, well, drowned lol) better though, as it fits the story more.

3. The Wounds of Wood and Water

What chu guys think?

Okay now I am curious. 👀

How does everyone come up with titles for their work?

Do you have a go-to style, or is it more "vibes based" depending on the work?

this question is prompted by me wondering where the new publishing trend of what seems like a lot of unrelated book series having titles along the lines of

"The [blank] of [blank] and [blank]"

with me wondering where it came from, and if it is based off of one book series that everyone else is trying to copy, if its something publishers are pushing, or a mix of both.

so, as a fun little interactive post:

What's your current WIP document title,

Are you planning on changing the title after editing

what would the title be if you formatted it in "The [blank] of [blank] and [blank]" style?
