watching people get mad about people relating songs other than punk genres to hobie is so strange to me. like. he doesnt believe in consistency. why the hell would he only listen to one genre. i bet you he listens to sea shanties.
yknow i feel like this is probably more pointed towards star trek. which there ARE a lot of trek characters id like to draw more of. but you just opened a whole can of worms man theres so much stuff i love that i havent really done much fanart for..... i want to do scooby-doo fanart soooo bad but i never get past the sketch phase....i havent drawn hardly any paranatural in ten years... woould love to draw more my babysitter's a vampire fanart its been so long since ive drawn those guys....... ive wanted to do jaane tu ya jaane na redraws for the longest time... okay i wont go on any longer ill stick anythin g else. in the tags lmao
well now i need to know YOUR top 5 shanties/work songs
TOP FIVE ANYTHING !
mingulay boat song, the longest johns. this one... idk what it is. the lyrics are really simple but it always makes me really emotional to hear this song, and i have not been unknown to start crying at TLJ's version. something about it really captures the sense of distance and homesicknesses and grief but ... paired a sense of community and sense of attachment to the men you're working alongside? it's a lot lol i have to listen to it sparingly.
throw me in the drink, drunk & sailor. this one is a spotify link and i am very sorry but i have yet to find them anywhere else. they're a semi-local group to me and i dig all their songs: but this one, especially, is so fun ! – especially when you're in person and contributing to the chorus with a bunk of drunk renfaire goers. tonal shift immensely from mingulay lol.
10,000 miles away, the skullduggers. following the latter, another upbeat one to jam to. and bonus, it's sung by disneyland's pirate group the bootstrappers (who are the skullduggers when not in the happiest place on earth). the narrative is also great in this one... as an incredible journey of mary bryant enjoyer,
santiano, the longest johns, ft. skáld. holdover from the days when i could actually do french. i love this song in english too but it has a little bit extra je ne sais quoi in french. that's all i got.
spanish ladies, the longest johns. i'd be really remiss if i didn't finish out the list of the first shanty I really got into, which is esmeralda's honorable, totally historically accurate don't worry about it theme song from tpof. fuck the british navy y'know but they were right, I do love my spanish lady.
I know it’s been a while, but the season 2 premier of TGAMM was peak Sea Shanties material
Damn near every interaction with these two was gold, and don’t even get me started on the doll house scene. Just *chef’s kiss* beautiful.
I really hope we get more with these two. Even without shipping, their dynamic is just so much fun.
It’ll be interesting to see where their dynamic goes as Scratch continues to be Chairman. Especially with Bill and Bob mentioning that, if the whole “the one who vanquishes the Chairman becomes the Chairman” rule didn’t exist, Alister would have taken the role. It’s something that’s been scratching my brain since it was mentioned, and I really hope they do something with it.
Do you guys think that the seven on the Argo II ever sang together? Like, one of them starts singing quietly or humming to themselves. And before they know it, everyone is singing the song.
Did they sing Sea Shanties?
Except for the Wellerman. I definitely don't think that Percy would be happy singing a song about hunting and killing whales.
*Gasp* What if they sang Disney songs?! I mean, they're basically a ship full of Disney princes and princesses!
1 and 10 for all 3 bestie! Ich besteche dich mit Keksen.
Danke schön!! No bribe necessary! (Song lyric ask game)
a song lyric that makes you think of them
Katya: I'm gonna just break out the big guns right now, you get one from when I first came up with her in 2020 and one about her super cool not-at-all-traumatic upcoming arc.
You're a fraud, and you know it
But it's too good to throw it all away
Anyone would do the same
You've got 'em going
And you're careful not to show it
Sometimes you even fool yourself a bit
("Smoke and Mirrors" by Gotye, the first song I ever ever picked out for her. Katya's a habitual, instinctual liar, mostly to protect herself. She's gotten better about it over the last year or so, but she still relies on her alternate identity as Grief and the deception that comes with that.)
You poor thing
Sweet, mourning lamb
There's nothing you can do
It's already been done
("Ptolemaea" by Ethel Cain, crying crying crying she has no idea what she's getting herself into and I'm vibrating about it. It's about to get cosmic. She's about to get answers she does not want.)
Sylvie:
And it's go boys go
They'll time your every breath
And every day you're in this place
You're two days nearer death
("The Chemical Worker's Song", protest song written by Ron Angel. Sylvie works a dangerous job in a polluted city under the thumb of Capitalism; I've been searching for good work songs for her that she'd sing to herself while digging graves.)
Zyd:
Oh, mamma mia-ma, ma-mamma mia-ah
They treat me like if I did something criminal
All eyes on me, I feel like I'm a superstar
I'm not a freak, I just thought it was carnival
("Mamma Mia" by Måneskin, musically and lyrically this is such a Zyd song-- the attitude, the groove, the tease, even Victoria in the music video starting us off with "he's just so annoying" about Damiano, like. That's just them! That's Zydre! They're annoying! They're here for a good time and, ideally, a long time.)
10. a song lyric to make them happy
Katya:
And if you get to heaven
I'll be here waiting, babe
Did you get what you deserve?
("Dead!" by My Chemical Romance y'all KNOW we were not getting out of here without an MCR pull)
Sylvie:
Nobody taught you how to read and riot
("New Invention" by I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME, I think she'd really appreciate the wordplay in this line)
Zyd:
You've been daddied by all the dudes that were not dad
And all of those dads never gave you the things
That you should have had
("Kiss the Go-Goat" by Ghost, unfortunately Zydre has deeply questionable taste and would find this line hysterical. I don't know. I have no explanation. They're a nightmare and they live in my head.)
