#3rd mates

[not-an-alien-scientist]

Human: Dude I'm not so sure about this whole pack bonding thing you've been talking about humans don't even like each other

Alien: Well is it not true that your species collectively grieved over a non-sentient robot on the planet I believe you designate as "'Mars"?

Human: Okay look, that's different, Opportunity's last words just broke our hearts okay

Alien: But... it did not send a last message of words. It was merely the last data recorded by the non-sentient robot. The data showed scientists low power and also indicated the skies on the planet were dark to the point where no sunlight was visible at the time of the last data transfer, nothing more. x

Human: Exactly

Alien: So why does your species grieve over basic data?

Human: Well you just said it "My battery is low and its getting dark"

Alien: That is a poetic translation of basic data

Human: Are you trying to dishonor Opportunity's work?

Alien: N-no I jus- - -

Human: Opportunity was a good boy who did his best. End of story *huffs out and goes to grab some soda*

Alien: *watches human walk away without any farewell words* ?!?!? *jots down in notes* [ Humans can be very protective of their own even when challenged with basic facts, proceed with caution when discussing pack mates of any type, including all non-sentient pack mates. ]

Old Friends, Same Crew

Decided 2 draw the Captain and his mates, this time with realistic color!

Also some headcanons ab their dynamics and personalities!

Robert Witterel

Robert's the leader of the group, he's charismatic, strong, has a bit of an ego but knows when to tone it down. Rob has a bit of a bold side to him outside of work, willing to try new things and go against high stakes. Also, because of his boldness combined with his ego, he has formed a sibling-like rivalry with Edward. But he means well!

William Houscut

William is the brains to Robert's brawn, he's calm, collected and intelligent. Will's more of a family man then most officers, which means he's got a soft side he only shows to the younger crewmates. He's always looking out for others and may even risk his own life to save another.

Edward Nichols

Edward is the youngest and most undermined of the team, he's charming but also short tempered. Because of this and his massive ego, Edward often gets into arguments or fights (mostly with his fellow crew). Luckily he listens to 2 people, His Sister Victoria or John Davies, a man he considers his close friend.

John Davies

John is the mediator of the group. He's kind, considerate and sympathetic. He often tries to help people better themselves and heavily believes in second chances. John even helped his adopted son, Davey James, get out of the life of an orphan and into the world of sailing. Though his love can easily be betrayed as John is naive and gets his trust broken many times trying to help someone.

Martin Perrott

Martin is the oldest and often the "backup mediator", He's sophisticated, wise and honest. Martin is a man with strong patience, while it is difficult to get him mad it's not entirely impossible. He's always making sure odds are fair and will do whatever it takes to set things right.

Next journal adventure will be that of Benjamin Boodry, 2nd mate on the Arnolda.

He was a career whaleman, first going to sea at age 12/13 on the Willis 1840-42, which his brother William was captain of. Two years later in 1844 his brother died while on a whaling voyage at age 32 of ‘brain fever’ at Rio de Janeiro. 

Benjamin continued going to sea and rising through the ranks of a whaleship, becoming a boatsteerer on the 1846 voyage of LaGrange, and 2nd mate on the 1852-55 voyage of Arnolda.

After that, in 1856 he got married at age 28 to 22 year old Mary Washburn. A mere two months after their marriage he was off again on another 4 year voyage aboard the Fanny, this time as captain.

In 1861 they had their first child, Frederick. Unfortunately Frederick died a few months after his first birthday. In February of 1863 Benjamin also died very young at the age of 35 of Endocarditis. At that point Mary was 6 months pregnant with their second son. That child was born at the end of June and was named after his father. Mary would remarry a man named Charles Barstow two years later, have a final daughter named Jane in 1868, and Mary would live well into her 80s.

#awhalin #2nd mate ben #on literally the 3rd day of this voyage he’s like ‘homesick as a dog’ #the balance of misery but also the continued draw to a whaleship by men who make this their career is always such an interesting one to me

what kind of academy are you going to?

merchant marine. also called a maritime academy. we’re run like the military but arent. it’s great 😐

#right now i’m a 4th class cadet but i’ll gradaute as a 3rd mate in the merchant marine 👍 #it’s all cadets here except a few midshipman and ensigns #and ofc our academy officers and teachers are all lt. ltcdr. or cdr. lol

[mishapen-dear]

#if they share lives i will go INSANE #absolutely fucking BONKERS #fuck all my other responsibilities all i care about now is universe assigned team mates #3rd life

Shifting Diary - 1 (11/12/23)

Thought I'd start one of these. Not starting off at the absolute best point in time, I must admit, but... Here we go.

(Below the cut so it's not hell to scroll through.)

Put on a shifting subliminal last night (2am this morning) and just... Fell asleep to it. Didn't try any methods or anything. Just focused on passing out.

Then, since I was slightly stressed this morning, I ended up actively attempting to shift again for... Maybe a few hours? I was in and out of sleep and those hours included maybe three attempts? Two and a half?

I can't say I was particularly focused. I was partly trying to shift to my usual DR and partly just trying to shift to a version of my CR that's not as... Hectic, I suppose?

I was laying there counting and affirming and staring at the backs of my eyelids. Nothing special. Theoretically you could say 'oh Julia method' or 'oh Raven method' or whatever in terms of general structure, but it has been a long while since I've simply done a method I found online. It's been 'random bullshit go' for months at this point.

I switched between three subliminals as I went from one attempt to the next, sort of going off vibes, mostly to block out the noise in my CR. However, I did notice that when listening to them, I would fall into this... Slightly dizzy state for a little while. I had my eyes shut and it felt like the world around me was gently spinning.

Could've been my awful sleep schedule catching up with me, to be fair. Did not sleep for long enough.

There were also points where my awareness of various parts of my body would change. Obviously, limbs going numb, which is what typically happens when you haven't moved in a while. There was a point where I was awfully aware of specifically my fingertips, specifically of my left hand, against the mattress, so much so to where it was difficult to think of anything else, while the rest of my hand was almost completely numb. Not had that one happen before, I do admit.

There were a few points where I lost focus on my body entirely but I have no idea how aware I was at those points. I think I might be remembering instances right before falling briefly asleep - which is a testament to my tiredness because I only fall asleep on my back when completely sleep deprived.

I've also been trying to focus more on the backs of my eyelids when I do actively attempt to shift. I don't get much in the way of impressions or images - especially today, since I could see the light from outside dimming and brightening because it was fucking morning lmao - but I do get ever so slightly brighter patches against whatever the brightness of the general backdrop is, quite blurry and indistinct but still clear enough to be able to intuitively link what I'm seeing to a specific concept without thinking about it. They fade in and out quite a bit.

There was a point where it felt like I was seeing the light from behind a door - as in, the door was open a crack and I could see the light through that crack. I unfortunately got a bit too eager and tried to mentally reach out, completely reflexively, to open the door wider, which made the entire thing fade. Need to focus on just observing rather than trying to interact whenever anything even mildly interesting happens.

My main takeaway is mostly to let myself watch rather than act. As much as the impressions are... Impressions - not necessarily linked to shifting - I do feel like entertaining whatever my mind happens to bring up once I'm in a relaxed state can't do me any harm.

And breathing exercises are fucking great. 4-3-5 and 7-6-8 both completely calm me down after a little while. From there, it is finding something to keep my focus on that doesn't drag me back into my CR, which is affirmations or visualising (sight and sound only, thanks) or daydreaming, or some combination thereof. Obviously since I was semi-panicking today wasn't a particularly engaged experience lmao, but hopefully that all gets sorted by tonight and I can either take a rest day or have an attempt unencumbered by whatever the fuck is happening in my CR.

#spending probably years of my life just daydreaming at this point makes the whole 'oh just observe don't interact thing' heinously difficult #also makes visualisation difficult - when i am 'listening' to someone move around the space i'm in #i end up 'watching' them in 3rd person. because i'm so used to omniscient 3rd person when daydreaming #really hard to have someone sit downstairs in a visualisation reading. i keep imagining what book they're reading and all that #when i would have no way of knowing lmao #completely drags me out of it #also doomed to forever want to go first person as the person who's the most active in the scenario #rather than keeping to my dr self lmao #on a similar note - trying to include touch? mate - whenever i try to feel a physical sensation in my lil scenario #i get yoinked back into my cr body lmao #it's sight and sound and that's honestly all i can do for ya. sense of smell's always been awful #taste functions similarly to physical sensation - 'welcome back to your cr you clown' #and touch. already mentioned and explained #i think i try too hard with the sense of touch tbh. that's the issue #i have Rambled in these notes woops. most of this is entirely unrelated to the post lmao #shifting realities #shiftblr #reality shifting #reality shifter #[𝓇𝒶𝓂𝒷𝓁𝒾𝓃𝑔 - 𝓈𝒽𝒾𝒻𝓉𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒹𝒾𝒶𝓇𝓎]

i went on a roadtrip yesterday also and after i finished reading the three latest graphic novels in 3 hours i kind of spent all extra driving time and the way back thinking about some of my oldest skyclan wc ocs and hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i realized how to make my first one actually cool

#warrior cats #whatsupray? #spottedpelt! started out as a kittypet ofc and joined skyclan after getting superspeed and superstrength from starclan randomly #cause why tf not? #ofc she became leader at the end of my first book and discovered that she was the secret daughter of the previous leader and the current #medicine cat so ohhhh wow so original #in the 3rd book it was revealed that this whole time she's had this like secret evil personality inside her (i was 9 im sorry) and that was #stripestar and she took over the body and turned the clan evil and worked with the dark forest #and in the 4th and last book of the arc spottedstar managed to regain control but in the final battle she fucking died and boom her mate #talltail (ik original) became leader (over time my talltail has become the most disgusting evil cat ever but i will NOT even begin to get #into that it's such a long story) #also yes she was spottedstar but i always call her spottedpelt cause that was her warrior name :)

Favorites!! ♡♤◇

Okay so after some thinking, I've found my Top 3 in Return of the Obra Dinn!

(Hidden below 4 spoilers of the game)

1st Fav is obviously Davey James, he's the most adorable crew member, part of the younger group and he even survives with the other 3 later on. I kinda wish we got 2 see more of Davey as he seems to stick out from the other young crewmates (my poor boy doesn't even get a voice actor :'[ )

2nd Fav is Martin Perrott, the best mate and Dad on the Obra Dinn, didn't deserve 2 die RIP a real one. What makes me like him so much is not only does he have a heart of gold, but he's incredibly strong, brave and kinda good looking, 10/10 Dilf lol

And my 3rd Fav..

Samuel Galligan.

There's not much to say about the man, he's old, weak, and from what I've seen, just as big of a bitch as his officer.

What makes me love him so much? I love how he's pathetic and weak, I feel like it'd be fun to crush him, he's a vase near the edge of a counter and I am a cat ready to push him and watch him crumble

And that's it! Hope you enjoyed :3
