-. The Pirate

Titus Lancaster | 31 | He/him

Titus Lancaster, AKA MY DARLING, a pirate recently turned immortal without his knowledge~ You could interpret pirate both as the classic, historical way where they all dress in these romanticised clothing and have a blast and all that or in modern setting, which would be his main setting, where the ship he travels on may be modernised, but the vibes, the energy, the crew is made up of people who just want to live out at sea and steal artefacts from the ships of explorers or become explorers themselves, it’s all about the journey, baby. At least it always was for Titus, he simply loves to be out at sea. And then one day he accidentally saves a sea witch and now he’s immortal so long as he doesn’t stay away from the ocean too long~ Not that he knows that.

my favorite historical facts

mayans believed that having crossed-eyes meant you were favored by the sun god kinich ahau, who was cross-eyed as well. in hopes that children would be, they would have objects dangled between their eyes to permanently cross their eyes.

ancient rome had a 4-story shopping mall with 150 shops and offices which was made in 113 AD

ancient egyptians invented toothpaste, they made it with rock salt, pepper, mint, and dried iris flowers

until recently (20th century) bones and mummies were used in traditional medicine, as some believed they could cure ailements by ingesting related body parts.

left-handed people were considered unlucky in ancient rome

lots of medieval barbers were also dentists and surgeons, which is why barbershops use red and white stripes because the stripes represent bandages used during bloodletting.

in medieval germany, married couples could legally settle their disputes by fighting a martial duel.

married women were not allowed to watch the ancient olympics, under penatly of death, but the vestal virigins in ancient rome were allowed to in some circumstances because their sacred building was knocked down to make a stadium

ancient greeks invented the first alarm clock in a system where pebbles would be dropped onto a gong and this would then make a loud sound

if a pirate ship approached flying a red flag with a hourglass on it then the defenders knew they were in some shit as red meant "give no quarter" and the hourglass meant essentially your time on earth was about to run out

shakespeare originated the "yo momma" joke, as in his one play titus androcius, a character says "thou has undone our mother," to which another character says "villain, i have done thy mother."

before abraham lincoln became a politician, he was a champion wrestler with more than 300 bouts under his belt, and only lost one match in his career. he was inducted into the national wrestling hall of fame in 1992

the gauls when trying to sack rome, caedicius had to get approval from the senate on the besieged capitoline. a messenger snuck through the gallic camp and scaled the unguarded cliff side of the hill to deliver the message. It was quickly decided to restore camillus to his command and to give him dictatorial powers and then the messenger snuck his way out again. the senone scouts discovered the messenger’s footprints and figured out that there was a way to scale the cliffs. they choose a night with a full moon and sent their bravest warriors up the cliff. none of the romans noticed, but the geese did. they started honking loudly and woke up the sleeping romans, the romans than pushed the gauls off the hill, and due to this fight the gauls suffered food shortages and diseases, so geese saved the day.

a pig was executed in 1386 after attacking a kid who would die from their wounds. the pig was arrested, kept in prison, and then sent to the court where it stood trial for murder, eventually being found guilty and then executed by hanging.

forks used to be considered blasphemous. when forks arrived in 11th century italy, it alarmed religious leaders because eating with artifical hands offended god.

the bluetooth design and name was named after the viking king harald bluetooth, based on an analogy that the technology would unite devices the way harald bluetooth united the tribes of denmark into a single kingdom. his intials in runes is the design of the logo

throwing an apple at somebody in ancient greece was considered flirting because the apple was sacred to aphrodite, so throwing it was declaring ones love

king george v of england was euthanized as his staff wanted his death to make the morning papers rather than the evenings ones, so they put him to death early without his consent

robert liston, a surgeon preformed an operation with a 300% mortality rate; he killed the patient and two other people

warning: fallout prime (derogatory) spoilers

i'm giving the fallout show a fair shot (pirated, of course; even if it was the best fallout media in existence i would refuse to give amazon anything for it). everything that isn't the plot is fine. funny, even, at times. first episode, as much as i hated having to see the BoS so soon, was pretty solid. i laughed out loud more than once at the "representation" knight titus brought to the BoS and it's exactly what they deserve.

the plot itself has very low internal logic from episode 2 on that isn't about the lore at first so much as basic inconsistencies (like "how strong is the power armor's punch", "is the ghoul supposed to be superhuman", etc) with way too many contrivances to carry the story forward. everyone is exactly where they need to be at just the right time, and sometimes they don't even bother to justify it.

then from episode 5 on, when they start to establish their original part of the fallout canon, pretty much every plot reveal makes no goddamn sense and it lapses into "we don't need to explain why this non-ghoul woman has been alive for more than 200 years" level plot craters. sometimes it feels like they're writing like the bombs dropped 20-40 years ago rather than 200. shady sands has a fucking vault under it. you know, the settlement that didn't exist pre-war and was created with vault 15's GECK? yeah. not even gonna get into the whole profit motive for the great war making no fucking sense because vault-tec knew roughly how many people were going to be left in the US after nuclear war, which could be intentional, but it still leaves a sour taste in my mouth that they came right out and said who started it at all. it was left vague in classic fallout on purpose.

before ep 5 i thought it could end up marginally better than fallout 3/4/76, at least. the only relief i have now is that i haven't had to deal with the bethesda-esque dumbing down of super mutants so far. please tell me there aren't super mutants.

#fallout #i still have the last 2 eps to do and after ep 6 i'm fighting for my life trying to get myself to finish it #all of this makes accidentally rendering NV impossible look like chump change #(i'm not talking about the blackboard shit; i'm talking about house's long-term plans for NV being heavily reliant on the NCR)

I made a comprehensive chart

additional infos

Blodwyn was a Nightmare Court Countess before she was arrested and granted conditional liberty under the supervisment of Adria. She is the cause of Adria and August's divorce, but everyone is chill about it.

Tiarnuin joined the Nightmares for Blodwyn and became the Fool of her Court. In her absence, he ended up managing the Court but abandoned his duties pretty quickly out of boredom.

Captain Dexx is from a very normal family. He became a pirate for the fun of it.

Titus, who is a crew member of Dexx's ship, was in the same warband as Alto. They disbanded to pursue retirement, but Alto stayed in the Legions whereas Titus moved to Lion's Arch to spend his remaining years at the beach.

Archivist Luwin and Skrittologist Nux are members of the Priory.

After long years of lonely brooding in the woods, Agni is finally working on her socialization with the help of her brother Hjalti. He introduced her to his friend Valli in hope that they both work on their issues together.

Pirate Disco Elysium! I’ve editted the portraits:

Scurvy Anette (holding an orange and collar just a smidge different)

Bandana + Scarf Cunnoesse ( + jogging jacket simplified into felt)

Barbarosa Chester (big beard, green coat + checker board shirt)

Blind Jean (flipped so he’s looking the other direction), his right eye has an eyepatch. No shirt, quickly drawn chest hair, black leather coat, pearl earring)

Slightly relaxed Jules with Parrot (redrew his eyebrows, hastily added a small blue Macaw) looks like he’s holding it to his ear like a banana phone but he’s just petting it.

Joyce (Joyce. No change.)

Leo with a polka-dot bandana and a simple red parrot

Messurehead with a bandana that interrupts all the light and color he has going on.

Titus with a bandana, so his eyes are no longer in shadow. He looks very chilled out.

"read I, Jedi," they* said.

"it'll be fun," they said**.

well tell that to me and my several "AND ANOTHER THING" rants in the chat and also the 2k words i've written because if you need to know one thing about me it's that I will always commit to the bit***

(* = @starwarsbookclub)

(** = no one actually said that)

(*** = writing a 'jedi summer training camp' fic in which Ezra meets Corran)

+++

"What's your real name?" Ezra asks that evening, grinning. 

"Kieran Halcyon," Corran answers. And then, because it is a joke that he doesn't quite know the scope of, he asks, "What's yours?" 

Jabba the Hutt was the first answer, given when they met. They were never properly introduced because Luke allowed himself to be distracted by Ezra's teasing. 

This time Ezra answers, "Hondo Ohnaka, pirate." He keeps smiling like he knows a secret, like he is revealing his real name to someone worthy of it. “Would you like to join my crew? We’re always hiring.” 

It becomes a bit of a game after that.

Any time they cross paths Ezra will give him a studious look before asking, “What’s your real name?” 

And Corran will always reply, “Kieran Halcyon,” because that’s what he’s going by. That’s the Corellian Jedi with a legacy of Corellian Jedi behind him that has been making friends with the others. “What’s yours?” 

Ezra strikes a pose and lifts a hand to his beard. “Lando Calrissian,” he answers in a passable attempt at Lando’s accent. 

Corran wonders if Ezra knows that he knows Lando. He wonders how Ezra knows Lando, because he doesn’t recognize the Jedi from the war despite Luke’s familiarity with him. 

(“An original member of the rebellion,” Leia says when Corran asks her one day. She also has a degree of familiarity with Ezra, though he doesn’t ask for their history and she doesn’t provide it.) 

 “Hey!” Ezra calls two days later when he finds Corran just parting from a training session with Kam and Streen. “What’s your real name?” 

Corran feels something clench in his chest and he looks around to check that no one heard. The last thing he needs is this game of Ezra’s to start sowing seeds of doubt. “Kieran Halcyon. What’s yours?” 

This time, Ezra’s grin vanishes and he lifts one skeptical eyebrow as he looks down his nose at Corran — using the full height difference to his advantage. “I,” he intones in what he must think is a decent Core World accent, “am Commander Brom Titus.” 

Corran waits a beat, then asks, “Who?” 

Ezra huffs out a breath and the illusion is gone. “No, you’re supposed to say, what, but, I’m Brom Titus. It’s a whole thing.” 

“I don’t even know who that is.” 

He waves a hand to dismiss it. “Never mind, it was only really funny to me.” 

Then, the next day as they cross paths in front of the dining hall: “What’s your real name?” 

Corran is ready for the question this time. “Kieran Halcyon. What’s yours?” 

“Sssseevor,” Ezra says in a strained, scratchy voice that catches Corran completely off-guard. “Captain of Crawler 413-24.” He emphasizes random syllables and punctuates them with too-long pauses to produce an altogether unsettling effect. “Want to work for the Mining Guild?” 

Then, when Corran finds Ezra with Leia and the Syndulla kid: “What’s your real name?” 

Leia passes a confused look between the two of them but Corran ignores it and answers, “Kieran Halcyon. What’s yours?” 

Ezra has a hard time controlling his smile but straightens his posture and says, “I am Lieutenant Lyste.” 

There’s a peel of laughter from Leia that she fails to smother behind her hands. 

So it’s another Imperial that Ezra knows and this time Leia is in on the joke. This frustrates Corran more than it should, honestly, because he knows that Ezra sees this as nothing more than a game. “No full name this time?” 

Ezra grins, still preening from making Leia laugh. “It’s Lieutenant.” 

“I think it was Yogar,” Leia corrects. 

“No, I’m pretty sure it was Lieutenant.”

I was talking with some people about a role-reversal AU, where Stede is the famous vicious pirate legend, and that is all well and good and fun to think about, but I was having trouble conceiving of Ed’s life in this world. Because what would he choose, if not piracy (I mean, if piracy is an option, not like in a modern AU)? I couldn’t think of anything that felt right.

One of the people I was talking to suggested that, well, he’s charismatic, he’s good at playing a part, maybe he runs away from home to join a traveling theater troupe who performs Shakespeare for Caribbean nobility. And years later, after he’s become disenchanted with this life, there just so happens to be a famous pirate who wants a performance of Titus Andronicus on his ship....

I LOVE THIS IDEA. I love it so much. Let me copy-and-paste my thoughts on it, because I really want someone to write the 100k words it deserves but I don’t want to do it myself:

This would be FASCINATING! Because yes, evil pirate king-Stede would totally still want Shakespeare performances on his ship. But this Ed – he would have gotten to be around fancy things and rich people plenty. He wears gorgeous clothes (as costumes), he gets invited to upper class parties (as entertainment), people send him gifts of marmalade and pearls (as payment), maybe he even has the occasional affair with a bored noblewoman – but none of it's really for him, is it? It's all hollow, just part of the performance, and if he ever deviated or acted different, they'd turn on him and he'd be nothing again. It'd be such an interesting reversal of what parts of himself Ed shows too, because a famous actor would probably be expected to be a little bit effeminate, prone to flights of imagination and silly games, unsurprising if he lazes around in dressing gowns and mopes in blanket forts and sings bad songs. But never legitimately angry, never smarter than his audience, and especially never, ever, ever considering violence against the people who use him. And Titus Andronicus specifically! <3 It's perfect! Because who does Ed normally play? Titus, as the lead? Lucius, as the handsome hero who comes in at the end to restore justice? I know it's way too late to have male actors doing female roles, but you could also do such interesting things with this Ed as Lavinia (used, voiceless) or Tamora (the outsider who assimilates until her own desires betray her)? But! This Ed, specifically, as Aaron! (Who I love, love, love.) "Let fools do good, and fair men call for grace, / Aaron will have his soul black like his face." It could be such a moment.

#our flag means death #aaron is my fave fight me on this #<- that is a tag I already had and I feel conveys the strength of my feelings for this post #anyway I really want actor!Ed/evil pirate!Stede now #also this is yet another example of my attempts to cram Shakespeare into OFMD. BUT THERE ARE SUCH GOOD PARALLELS WITH SO MANY OF THE PLAYS #nonnies made me do it

@seekesotsibteadmist​ | “i’m trying really hard to keep it together.” - titus more random dialogue prompts

---

“Woah, hey...”

It’s a knee-jerk reaction, one of the many habits that rule him much more than he’ll ever rule them.

At least, this is one of the good ones.

His arm reaches out instantly, fingers brushing against Saima’s shoulder the briefest, smallest contact, the desire to shape a physical connection to remind them of his presence, remind them of his will to continue having a presence to speak of near them. 

Months, even years apart can create riffs cutting through synergies, a friendship easy to maintain can become a chore to regard, if met with a person once your friend that you now barely recognise. But Titus is not that kind of person. Time and distance make the heart grow fonder they say, but even neglecting an old idiom Titus lives by the joy that distance can bring, the new stories one can share, the growth one can admire in the other.

The fact that Saima hardly ever changes outwardly is a bonus as well.

So with time to separate them and perhaps a history Titus doesn’t even know the full extent of the surface of yet, how easily could he assume infinite strength from the other? How right would it be to not extend warmth always?

The extend hand comes to a rest on the side of their arm, Titus’ body follows, his other hand holds just as gently onto Saima’s other upper arm. He stands before them now, like a torrent attempting to be a safe boulder, trying for a reassuring smile.

“No need. You can let go, if things get too hard.”
