me: I’m not going to rig this model it’s not built for that and I probably don’t have the foreknowledge

also me: rigs it anyway

might go in and do the forestays tomorrow… and at that point it’s a question of whether I want to go all out and do all the standing rigging… or rather, whether I have the capacity to do that

#I do want to do all the standing rigging however I’m a little nervous about the bowsprit rigging #also this model added some extra spars to the bowsprit ignore that I don’t know why they’re there #also please ignore the mizzen shrouds the piece was not large enough and I had to makeshift rig it #same thing with the jibs not pictured #this is your captain speaking

What kind of music does Linden like? I’ve somehow gotten to thinking of him listening the Beatles for whatever reason, but I wanna know what he really would like

Linden wouldn't be opposed to sticking The Beatles on!!

he likes gentle slow music generally. the stuff that can melt into the background, that you can sway to. hozier, balmorhea, alabama shakes, the gloaming... something like that :-)

#asks #anon #bowsprit by balmorhea is a very lindeny song #linden

All you landlubbers who think you’re pirates for downloading music wouldn’t last a minute on my ship

The bowsprit and spritsail

The bowsprit of a sailing vessel is a spar extending forward from the vessel's prow.

Bowsprit of the Batavia (x)

The bowsprit is typically held down by a bobstay that counteracts the forces from the forestays.

(x)

The word bowsprit is thought to originate from the Middle Low German word bōchsprēt – bōch meaning "bow" and sprēt meaning "pole".

On large sailing ships a spritsail, a square-rigged sail, carried on a yard below the bowsprit and were commonly used on sailing vessels from the first carracks of the 14th century.

The Batavia flying a spritsail (lower right) and a sprit-topsail (x)

From the mid-17th century, most ships also flew a sprit-topsail from the short sprit topmast that rose vertically above the fore end of the bowsprit.

The Fool symbolises the beginning of a long and fruitful journey. This card embodies innocence and naivete. The Fool usually indicates stepping into a world in which you are lacking experience but ready to spring forward anyway. It presents a choice to indulge your desires and embark on your wildest dreams without hesitation. Your optimism will protect you in these untested waters and will block out all the fear and doubts that usually come with beginning something new and hard.

The Fool is numbered 0 in the tarot deck and can be placed at either beginning or the end of the Major Arcana (which is often conceived of as The Fool's journey). For this 'deck', I've decided to depict Stede at the start of his journey. This scene represents Stede's situation and mental state before the start of the first episode.

In the Rider Waite deck, The Fool is walking toward the edge of a cliff, head turned to the sky, seemingly unaware of the drop into the unknown that lies before him. He carries a knapsack over his shoulder and a white rose in his other hand, symbolising his innocence. Although Stede's pose in this card is the same as the Rider Waite deck, I've decided to play with the symbolism to make it more fitted to OFMD.

Rather than a cliff, Stede is walking the bowsprit of the Revenge. He seems blissfully unaware of the risk he has taken, not just by walking the bowsprit but by deciding to become a pirate. Instead of a knapsack, he carries a black flag. Because this card represents Stede before the first episode, there is nothing on his flag yet. The flag as well as his journey are a blank slate. I've replaced the rose with an orange blossom, both a tie-in to the theme of oranges that runs throughout the series and a symbol of new beginnings and immaturity. The blossom looks pretty but it needs time and experience to bear fruit. So too Stede needs to go on his journey throughout the Major Arcana in order to grow into the person he wants to become.

thinking about how in 2.04, Ed is chained to the Quarterdeck Rail, and Izzy is at the Head of the ship, as far as he can get from Ed as humanly possible without climbing onto the bowsprit (which he does do, in this episode, later, lol). Thinking about it for no reason at all.
