I was tagged by @forestgreenivy to list 5 topics I can talk on for an hour without preparing any material. Don’t mind if I do!

1) My dogs. I've had many good dogs over my life and several truly great ones. I loved them all the way a father loves his children because that's what they what they've been to me. I told my mother when I was 11 that I never wanted kids, just dogs and horses. And that's exactly what I did.

2) Deer Hunting. I caught the deer hunting bug when I was 14 after reading a 'Field & Stream' magazine about the upcoming deer season while I was waiting for my Daddy to get out of his doctor's appointment. Being out in the woods, far away from civilization where all I can hear is the wind in the trees and the birds singing is as close to Heaven as it gets, deer or no deer. It also helped bring me and my Daddy closer.

3) 'Peter Pan', more specifically Captain Hook. I've loved the Captain since I was 5 and my mother thought it would be a bright idea to read the J. M. Barrie book to me instead of the Disney version. I don't know what that did to my brain, but I immediately hated Peter and fell crazy in love for Hook; 54 years of loving -- yes, LOVING, Captain Hook. Jason Isaacs did not help my obsession, but he didn't hurt it either. 😛😛😛

4) Working for the U. S. Post Office. I left my degreed field because I was, after 10 years, still not making $10/hour. Working for a quasi governmental office is enlightening to say the least, but I could overlook all the craziness every other week when I got my check. Working at the Post Office allowed me opportunities I would NEVER have had if I'd stayed working for Cable Advertising. I missed my old friends, but I loved my new job. It's amazing when you can look in the workroom floor where the mail is being sorted and realize the sheer volume of mail that goes through a processing center in an 8 hour shift.

5) Pirates. Having fallen head over heels for Hook, I have been fascinated by pirates, real and fictional, my whole life. Obviously my favorite fictional pirate is and always will be, Captain Hook. My favorite REAL pirate is Bartholomew Roberts, a.k.a., Black Bart. He was a much more successful pirate than Blackbeard and I believe Roberts is who JM Barrie based Hook on. Bart was a badass, taking over 470 ships in 4 years vs. Blackbeard's 26 ships in 2 years.

Now I'm tagging @sleightlyoffhand, @velvetgoldie, @lilterwilliger, @trierarchuncus-prairiensis, and @nobeerreviews to play along.

[historical-nonfiction]

A newly-unearthed dinosaur, Trierarchuncus prairiensis, had distinctive hooks for hands. T. prairiensis's small, simple teeth suggest they once walked seas of grass, probably foraging for insects to eat, which they could dig up with help from their claws.

The name comes from 'trierarch', a seafaring ship's captain in Greek, and 'uncus' meaning hook in Latin, followed by “prairie.” So the dinosaur is 'Captain Hook of the Prairie.’ You have to love scientists with a sense of humor.

Palaeontologists Have Unearthed a Distinctive Hook-Clawed Dinosaur in Montana

From the depths of time, out of the Hell Creek Formation, emerged the last of the hook-handed dinosaurs: Captain Hook… of the Prairie.

This fearsome creature had a tooth-filled snout and large, viciously hooked claws. But each talon sat at the end of the most ridiculously short and stubby, single-fingered hand.

For all its sharp bits and absurd limbs, Trierarchuncus prairiensis may have in fact been rather cute – if researchers’ impressions of what it may have looked like can be believed – thanks to its primitive feather fluff and long tail.

It was only about three metres long – tiny compared to many of the other giant beasts that have been discovered in the Hell Creek rock formation, including many T. rex and Triceratops.

T. prairiensis’s small simple teeth suggest they once stalked seas of grass, beside these larger beasts, in what’s now Montana, USA, in search of precious tasty insect treasures to gobble, during the late cretaceous period 66 million years ago.

The group Alvarezsauria was previously only known from fragments and isolated fossils found in Asia and South America. Palaeontologists have now published a new paper on their discovery of a series of claws belonging to this newly named species.

Its name is made up of ‘trierarch’, a seafaring ship’s captain in Greek, and ‘uncus’ meaning hook in Latin, translating to ‘Captain Hook of the Prairie’.

The fluffy dinosaur’s hooked claws are thought to have been for tearing apart vegetation, insect nests, and rotting wood – rather like anteater claws. 

(Boban Filipovic)

Palaeontologist Denver Fowler from the Badlands Dinosaur Museum and colleagues found the fossils in the uppermost layer of the Hell Creek Formation, making them the youngest known alvarezsaurid dinosaurs and among the last non-avian dinosaurs known to have existed before the infamous mass extinction event that wiped them out.

They are members of a dinosaur group called maniraptorans, which also includes dinosaurs that evolved into birds.

The series of forelimb claw fossils don’t belong to one individual, because these ancient, weird creatures only had one finger – a thumb attached to tiny but powerful arms. 

The three claws showing changes in shape and texture as the animal grew in size. (Fowler et al, Cretaceous Research, 2020)

“The new fossils represent a growth series from juvenile to adult,” the researchers explain in a press release.

“The fossils show that as Trierarchuncus grew its hand claw became more robust; blood vessel grooves on the sides of the claw became more deeply embedded in bone; and the claw surface developed from being smooth in young individuals, into a rough surface texture in adults.”

These changes are significant because researchers have used such features to classify the different alvarezsaurid species. Some previous finds in this group may have been classified according to their juvenile forms – potentially making their classification inaccurate.

“Dinosaurs changed significantly through development,” the researchers explain in their paper. “Young individuals may appear morphologically more similar to their ancestors than to adults of their own species.”

An important point for palaeontologists to keep in mind when sorting which fossil belongs to which species.

This research was published in Cretaceous Research.

The Preparations (Hook x adult Wendy fanfiction), chapter 2

DISCLAIMER: I don’t own Wendy Darling, Captain James Hook or Smee, I merely write my own interpretations of their characters. I also don’t own the song “Jolly Sailor Bold”.

FACECLAIMS: Captain James Hook - Jason Isaacs as Hook in “Peter Pan” 2003

Wendy Darling - Rachel Hurd-Wood (examples: her role in “Dorian Gray” and in general her looks as an adult person)

Smee - Richard Briers as Smee in “Peter Pan” 2003

You can find the first chapter of my fic here!

Jolly Sailor Bold - this is my beloved cover of this song! 

*********

Throughout his existence in Neverland James Hook had rarely dreamed. If ever, then those were the nightmares of that blasted, insolent boy Peter Pan, the crocodile that ate his hand and would gladly feast on the rest of his flesh, or simply flashes of images, like scattered glass, that made no sense to him. But the last couple of nights were different.

He has been having the same dream on repeat.

James saw a person standing in front of a full lenght mirror, at first the image was blurred, but soon enough he could see clearly. A girl in her nightdress, brushing her long, wavy, honey brown hair. She was standing with her back to him so James couldn’t see her face directly, but it was reflecting in the mirror. He saw jade green eyes, their gaze level but undoubtedly fierce  and inquisitive, now slightly softened by sleepiness as she was preparing for bed.

He recognised that face and those eyes. How could he not?

Wendy Darling.

But no, no longer a girl, those eyes were the eyes of a young scholar, he thought in his dream –

A woman.

Out of nowhere, as if he were deaf before, he heard a female voice singing, gradually surrounding him, as an echo in a well. He realized Wendy was singing.

Softly, mindlessly Wendy was singing.

My heart is pierced by Cupid I disdain all glittering gold There is nothing can console me But my jolly sailor bold…1

******

Suddenly the soft voice was replaced with shouting and swearing of his crew and his bosun was babbling nervously at him. A groan escaped Hook’s throat as he was waking up, still face down on his desk.

‘Capt’n? Capt’n? I was tellin’ ‘em dogs to get back to work  but ‘ey wouldn’ listen – ‘

‘I was dreaming, Smee.’

Smee’s eyebrows went up. ‘Of Pan, capt’n?’

With a heavy sigh Hook finally rose from the desk and gave his bosun an unreadable look, then walked to the window of his cabin to stare outside and there was such longing painted on his face, even Smee hasn’t seen him like this in a long while, and he knew Captain Hook  for, well, forever.

‘No, Smee. Of Wendy Darling.’2

Smee’s brows went even further up, but then he smiled fondly, remembering The Storyteller. ‘That Wendy lass, eh? Awful good at tellin’ stories. Must have grown quite lot since – ‘

‘Yes.’

Smee knew well  enough when not to provoke the captain, so he said no more. He just stood there a bit awkwardly, awaiting for the orders.

James Hook stood at the window, arms folded behind his back, but he wasn’t looking at anything in particular. His mind was filled with questions. What about those reoccuring dreams? Why Wendy Darling? Surely, when he met her she was a bright and daring child, but back then he used her just as a bait for Pan, nothing more. He didn’t like children anyway, not to mention he tried to kill Pan, of whom she was fond of (‘tis just a timble’, she said to Hook, before giving Pan her hidden kiss), her and her brothers, and about that he was sure, she never forgot. And wasn’t Wendy a part of his own demise, when he disappeared in the belly of the crocodile? (‘Old, alone, done for!’, oh, you cruel, cruel child). He managed to claw his way out of that damned beast with his hook, because in the cursed place called Neverland he couldn’t even rest. He couldn’t even die.

Maybe the fact he was still alive and those dreams meant something.

Maybe there was a chance for him.

Hook scolded himself in his mind for such thoughts. Years of loneliness, bitterness and dissapointment have taken their toll and he felt a wave anger taking over him, red flash reaching his eyes.

‘Capt’n?’

The wave was over as soon as it began. He had to make a plan. He had to –

Wendy...

With a sigh Hook turned around to Smee.

‘What are you standing here for, you old fool?’, he waved his left hand in a dismissive manner.

‘The orders, Capt’n – ‘

‘I will be on the deck shortly, that bunch of scoundrels – just help me with this bloody thing, Smee.’

‘Aye aye, capt’n.’

Smee helped James put on and fasten the leather harness that kept the hook in place. When James attached the hook with a loud „click”, he felt the same click in his head. The plan was beginning to form.

Bosun helped him comb his curls and then dress into trousers, shirt and his favourite red brocade frock coat.

Smee was ready to leave Hook’s quarters but was stopped by his voice.

‘Smee?’

‘Yes, capt’n?’

‘I think  I have a plan, concerning our dear Wendy Darling. And I think it’s time we put that Neverhell’s magic to work. To our advantage. I need three seamstresses, the best ones you can find me. They are to be paid well  and equipped with everything they need. We will need fairy dust as well… in vast amounts. A boat that will fit three people at least.’

‘Don’t think I follow, capt’n.’

‘We’ll have a masquerade ball in the Black Castle, Smee. But for that, I need you and at least another one  to transport Wendy safely here.’

Smee didn’t understand. But he was a bosun, and Hook was the captain, and Smee was proud that captain trusted him with such an important task. He puffed out his chest proudly.

‘Aye aye capt’n!’

Hook gave Smee a nod that meant he could leave.

His plan was time consuming and it required a lot of scheming, people and magic. But it had a chance of success. He was, after all, Captain James Hook of The Jolly Roger.

‘And Smee?’, Hook turned around, the corners of his lips curling up slightly.

‘Aye?’

‘I will  deliver her her invitation myself.’

1A piece of lyrics from „Jolly Sailor Bold”. I don’t own the song.

2So here I’m using that scene from Peter Pan 2003 where Captain Hook is first introduced to build my own scene. Paraphrasing it, if you will, or paying it a hommage. :)
