hi this is your invitation to go on a tangent about the titanic btw

THANK YOU GRACIE I WILL DEFINITELY TAKE UP YOUR OFFER

eg i will talk abt my son Ross

(someday ill prolly talk abt my other sons Jack and Harry and why i think they are Gay and also abt the Skoogs and the Navratils and etc)

(also i know i said on the discord that this would be a 4 page essay but its MUCH less organized than that just me spitting headcanons and facts)

but Rossmore!!!

that's what he looked like he look very stupid and idk why he's so surprised did he not know the picture was being taken

(not sure how old he is here - could be a graduation picture, meaning he was 13/14, or perhaps closer to the sinking, so 15/16)

this is him with his mom and brother (ill get to them later dont worry) sometime in the early 1900s (?) - Ross is the one in the middle, he's maybe 6 or 8 or 10ish here

NOW LET ME TELL YOU ALL ABOUT ROSSY

(there are no records of him ever being called Ross/Rossy but I give all my history blorbos nicknames)

Rossmore Edward Abbott was born on Feb 21, 1896, in Providence, Rhode Island (probably on Chestnut Street, they def lived there by 1906)

His parents were George Stanton Abbott (listed in several places as Stanton, George S, Geo S, etc) and Rhoda Abbott (often called Rosa or Rose, but census data lists her as Rhoda)

Stanton was a PROFESSIONAL BOXER which is REALLY COOL and they got a buncha money n shit from punching people which was good because Money is Good

In 1899 Rossie's little brother Eugene was born and unlike his brother there is actually sources stating he went by Gene

(good choice genie)

his parents also had another kid but that kid died before being recorded on any census records or anything at all which is quite rude i must say

Rossie had a good childhood, but eventually the fame went to Stanton's head and he and Rhoda separated sometimes between 1906 and 1910 (look idk)

In that time Ross also started at Oxford Street Grammar School, the local grammar/middle school

Ross was a Very Good Student! (at least i like to believe that) he had Lots of Friends! (another thing i choose to believe with no proof)

actually no i do have Some proof abt the Good Student part

(look at me caually segue-ing (?) into the most important and detailed part of my research)

(i have a doc called 'INTERESTING PEOPLE ABOARD THE TITANIC' and it's 42 pages long and my shit research abt Oxford Street and the Anthony Medal makes up pages 15 through 34)

SO!!

ANTHONY MEDAL!!

Something Something Anthony was the governor of Rhode Island for a while at some point (i do not care abt this fucker) but when he died or retired idk he donated some money and was like 'hey make an award after me'

and everyone was like 'okie dokie'

so yeah now they got the Anthony Award, which was given to one or two students twice a year from each of the Providence grammar and high schools

they win by reciting a speech good or some shit, i never actually figured it out lol

but i bet you can guess where im going with this-

Rossie-boy wins it!!

(I freaked out so fucking hard when I found this like seriously i had been looking for MONTHS and THERE IT WAS)

Ross won the Anthony Award on Jan 28, 1910, when he was about a month away from turning 14

Soon afterwards he either graduated or had to leave school, because on the 1910 census he's apprenticed to an 'electro gilder', whatever that is. (some sort of jeweler?)

(it tried to correct 'he's' to 'he was' haha no this boy's alive in my head)

also on that census - Ross is listed as having not attended school in the past year, which we know is false because yknow. Anthony Medal. So either our boy lied or there was some sort of mix-up

(by here Stanton is gone and Rhoda, Ross, and Gene are living at a different address with another family and two boarders, and Rhoda is working as a seamstress)

The next year (1911) Rhoda decides to move her and the boys back to her hometown (somewhere in England idk)

there, Genie attended school but Ross had to work as a jeweler to help his family make ends meet :(

this makes me especially sad bc I like to think that Ross really wanted to go to college and do something that required an education and he wasn't able to bc of things outside his control

After about a year of living in England, the Boys were very homesick and missed Providence, so Rhoda decided to move them back home.

guess what ship they were on. guess. guess.

YOU'RE WRONG IT WAS THE TITANIC

and I could write SO MUCH more on Ross's experiences onboard and my headcanons about him and Alfred Rush but this is long so not gonna (yet)

gracie!! thank you!! i love ranting about unimportant shit!!

#asks!!#the titanic #titanic #rossmore abbott #ross my beloved <3 #ant talks about the fucking titanic again

hai here is a sketch dump with too many fandoms :) sorry about the ungodly amount of men here i have been going through it and by it i mean gay

ok wait i ran out of tags??? it wont let me tag them all😭😭😭 im gonna have to be sparing with them uhh i guess i will have to ramble under the cut then cus i like rambling in my tags but i cant with this one 😭

(ok im back from the ramble: it is way too long.... proceed forward if you want to see some guy just absolutely talk nonsense for entirely too long)

no cus i swear i have tried tagging more stuff than this before and never hit the limit but whatever

hello i really use this like a fkn blog huh

i just wanted to provide some thoughts on the harper and rosé one first bc its important to me 😌 cus i was thinking abt harper and how in my head and heart of hearts she would be the kid who thought you get pregnant from kissing and i dont think she ever really grew out of that belief. <- this ended up spawning the idea of harper being a sex-repulsed ace and i will die on this hill actually. fight me or die, you die either way actually nvm

this is just a buncha blorbos i dont know what to tell you really. sketch pages like these always end up so weird for me bc for some reason my brain always wants the characters in them to interact in some way. whether that be talking or just reacting to what the other is doing... its something i cant stop with, its so stupid and silly and i hate it and i love it. where else would i see kabru slowly losing his mind with how loud phoenix wright is in court????

I THOUGHT I HAD GOTTEN OFF THE RAILS WITH THAT BUT THEN THE NEXT PAGE HAPPENED. and all i could do was laugh and ask "what the fuck am i drawing??? HOW DID WE GET HERE? WHY IS THISTLE HERE WITH LEOPIKA HELP" LIKE that page started with the big leopika and then i was like "man i miss thistle lemme draw him real quick" but the curse struck and now hes being homophobic so </3

i rlly like how the nic(k) page turned out ... i just have a lot of nicks i like drawing idk.. the lil guy is an oc,,, one day his ref sheet will be finished and itll be awesome but not for now, sorry baby, no can do. im weirdly happy with how the hands turned out for all of them tho?? so thats a W

yotasuke, murai, nick (youll never know which one im referring to. .. jkjk its hoult i love the pose there ehehhe), nic and the entire last page r my favs. i like em all but those rlly get me yknow- the olly too ofc but ive already posted him, dont mind him being here, hes part of the set. AND OVER ALL IVE BEEN HAVING SO FUN WITH SHADING BLACK AND JUST LEAVING SPOTS BLANK ITS SO ?`????

WHY IS THIS SO LONG PLS DONT READ ALL THIS THIS IS STRAIGHT UP EMBARRASSING AGHSDFGSDHJSGD im all like "yeah i dont like talking about myself or whatever" but as soon as i get to my process or blorbos or smth the floodgates fucking break open, not even burst man.

also dont mind how i havent even acknowledged pingas twink pokemon counterpart. hes just here for shits and giggles i dont know the guy like at all, i watched a handful of eps of horizons and that was it RIP
