Happy New Year, everyone! 🍾 🥂

Many thanks for all the follows, likes, reblogs, comments and chats over the last twelve months! ❤️ ❤️

(And to @amalthea9 for introducing me to Santiano; I’ve spent half my time listening to them this year! 🥰)

As I’ve not really been in the mood for drawing the last few days I thought I'd post a little piece I've written for Despatches this week. It's G-rated and set in my LKU, though I'm not entirely sure where.

Now We Shall Have The Turn Of The Year

The thirty-first of December isn't the best time to be stranded ashore, but Archie and Bush find a way to mark the date.

“Well, it could be worse,” Archie observed. “At least it’s not raining.”

Bush snorted, and poked their driftwood fire with the point of his sword. “No, that’s true. We’re completely stranded and virtually defenceless but at least the weather’s fair.”

“Sometimes, William, I swear you are an overcast day in human form.” Archie huffed as the cold wind chose that moment to remind him of its presence and he turned up his collar, scooting a little closer to the blaze. “Do you ever look on the bright side?”

He received a raised eyebrow in reply. “And which bright side would that be, pray?” Bush enquired. “It’s the middle of the night in December, we’ve no shelter and so far no one has acknowledged our signals. Add to that the fact that the admiral will probably be apoplectic when he finds out the ship is without three senior officers and I confess I fail to see any ‘bright side’ whatsoever. We’ll be lucky not to be court-martialled if we ever get back aboard.”

Archie reached into his waistcoat pocket to retrieve his watch and squinted at the dial in the light from the fire. “It’s not the middle of the night, it’s barely... well, would you look at that!” The minute hand had just ticked over the hour; the sight of this and sudden recollection of the date brought a smile to his face and he presented the timepiece to his colleague, who just peered at it.

“It’s midnight,” Bush confirmed, handing it back. “That’s hardly cause for celebration.”

“It is where I come from. Oh, just think for a moment,” Archie begged when he was given a blank look. “A minute ago it was the thirty-first of December, so now it must be..?”

“Oh.” Bush digested that information, and said flatly, “Happy New Year.”

“Thank you, Mr Bush.” It was all Archie could do not to roll his eyes. “Could you not perhaps summon a little more enthusiasm? It is Hogmanay, after all.”

“What difference does the date make? We’re still stuck on a beach in the dark, whether it’s this year or last. And what the hell is Hogmanay?” Bush demanded. “Something you’ve just dreamed up?”

Archie shot him a lofty glare. “I should be insulted by that. For your information, Hogmanay is a very important Scottish festival which welcomes the New Year. It’s actually more important to us than Christmas. Shid ald akwentans bee firgot, an nivr brocht te mind? Shid ald akwentans bee firgot, an ald lang syn?” he quoted in a rolling Scottish accent he’d picked up from his father’s head ghillie, grinning when Bush stared at him as though he’d grown another head. “What’s the matter? Don’t you agree?”

“I might if I understood what you were saying,” his friend replied, eyes narrowing in suspicion that he was being teased. “What was all that? I’ve heard more sense from Styles when he’s in his cups.”

“It’s Scots, you philistine! The land of my forefathers! Honestly, William, have you ever thought of learning a language other than your own?”

Bush shrugged. “Why should I need to?”

“Well, if you knew some French you might have been able to work out what Major Cotard was saying about you,” Archie muttered, adding quickly, “If you must know, to quote Rabbie Burns - ”

“Who?”

“A poet.” Archie sighed in frustration. Cultural conversations with Bush were impossible; the man never seemed to read anything but nautical textbooks despite Archie’s best efforts. “The poet, the one who wrote the words. I thought your sister might have heard of him, at least.”

The brow lifted again. “Maybe she has, but she doesn’t share such discoveries with me.”

“I wonder why? I said: Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne?” Archie repeated without the exaggeration he’d used before. Unfortunately, even with greater clarity of word Bush still seemed baffled.

“And what exactly does that mean?” he asked, forehead furrowing.

Archie considered. “I’ve always taken it that the bard is asking whether old times should be forgotten. When we sing it tonight we’re seeing out the old year and welcoming the new one, and we shouldn’t forget what’s gone before.”

“’Sing’? Someone has actually put that nonsense to music?”

“Indeed they have.” Archie started to do just that: “And surely ye’ll be your pint-stoup! And surely I’ll be mine! And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet, for auld lang syne!”

Bush looked amused. “And the translation of that is..?”

“Basically, if you’ll buy me a pint, I’ll buy one for you,” Archie told him with a grin.

Chuckling, the older man shivered and huddled further into his coat. “I confess, I wouldn’t say no to one just now.” He glanced into the darkness beyond the fire. “I wonder where Horatio’s got to?”

“Oh, you know what he’s like. He can’t just sit still and wait; he’ll be prowling between those beacons he lit, trying to spot any reaction.” Archie threw another stick on the fire. “He’ll be back when he gets bored. Or cold.”

“Hmm.” Bush sighed. After a minute or two of silence he announced, “Well, I suppose you’d better teach me this song of yours.”

Archie blinked in surprise. “You actually want to learn? I thought just now it was nonsense?”

“And so it is, but we’ve nothing else to do. It’ll help to pass the time.”

“That’s true,” Archie mused. “And if we sing loudly enough it may even attract some attention.”

“Yes, but would it be the right sort? We don’t want to bring the French down on us, Mr Kennedy,” Bush warned, but the corner of his mouth was twitching.

Archie bit back his own smile. “No, sir, of course not.”

“Quietly, then. Now remind me: how does it go?”

“Should auld acquaintance be forgot - ” Archie began to sing in a low voice, only to be interrupted by a frown and a shake of the head. “What’s wrong?”

“In Scots,” Bush said, adding when Archie raised his eyebrows, “I thought you wanted me to learn another language?”

“To be fair, it’s more of a dialect, but are you sure? The English isn’t that much different, and - ”

Bush huffed impatiently. “Just get on with it.”

Archie did, and to his credit Bush tried; he didn’t have a bad ear for music and mastered the tune quickly but it soon became clear that the ability to manage an accent of any kind was beyond him and both of them dissolved into laughter as he mangled the words on his tongue, his initial embarrassment buckling in the face of Archie’s mirth. Despite this they soldiered on, though the song became more and more incomprehensible the closer to the end they got.

“No, William, it’s An there’s a han, my trusty feer! Now I know why you only speak English!” Archie exclaimed. “An gees a han o’ thyne! An we’ll tak a richt gude-willie-waucht - ”

“Don’t you dare call me Willie,” Bush told him in a dangerous tone, reaching for his sword. “Not if you want to live. And what the devil do geese have to do with it?”

Archie just shook his head, breathless as fresh laughter bubbled up, and collapsed back onto the sand. “Ach, Willie, gees a han here!” he said, waving one in the direction of his friend and explaining when Bush just gave him a hard stare, “A gude-willie-waucht is a good-will draught. A drink, you fool!”

“Is it really?” a familiar voice asked from somewhere nearby before Bush could respond. “I’ve never heard it called that before.”

Archie struggled onto his elbows and peered into the shadows to spot a vague shape a few feet away. “’Ratio! You’re back! Any luck?”

“No.” He could virtually hear Horatio’s frown. “And I hardly think this is appropriate behaviour for two of His Majesty’s officers, do you? Anyone would think you’d spent the evening in the tap room!”

“We’re just trying to amuse ourselves,” Archie replied, pre-empting the apology he knew would be on Bush’s lips. “I was teaching William a little ditty we Scots like to sing at this time of year.”

Horatio tutted and came forwards. “You sounded like a couple of dying cats. I’m surprised you haven’t drawn the enemy straight to us with all that noise.”

“We weren’t making that much noise - ”

“I’m sorry, sir. It was my idea,” Bush said, predictably, cutting off Archie’s protestations. He got to his feet, crossing to his captain’s side. “We should have changed the watch by now; shall I take a turn along the perimeter?”

After a moment’s contemplation Horatio shook his head. “No, sit down, Mr Bush. There’s nothing to be seen; I fear we’re stuck here until the morning.”

Nodding, Bush started to return to the fire but Archie held out a hand. “William, don’t move!” he ordered before the other man could take another step. “You too, ‘Ratio.”

“Archie, what on earth is the matter?” Horatio demanded as Bush opened his mouth to do the same. “What are you doing?”

“Just wait a moment.” Having reached for one of the sticks of driftwood they’d collected earlier, Archie scrambled a couple of feet towards them and as his friends watched, puzzled, used it to carefully draw a line in the sand between himself and the spot on which they stood. Once it was done he sat back on his heels. “All right; now you can come closer, but ‘Ratio, you go first and make sure you step over the line.”

He knew without seeing it that Horatio’s eyes had rolled heavenward so hard they were probably in danger of falling out. “Oh, for goodness’s sake, Archie - ”

“Over the line!” Archie commanded sternly. “And William, keep behind him.”

Despite looking as though they thought he was being utterly ridiculous they did as they were told, Bush hanging back so that his captain could cross first. Horatio grumbled under his breath as he joined Archie at the fire, holding out his hands to the flames before rubbing his arms briskly in an attempt to generate some warmth in the rest of his body. “Satisfied?” he enquired archly.

“Perfectly. We’ll have good luck now for the year ahead.”

Bush’s brow flicked as he stepped over the line. “Is this another strange Scottish custom?”

“It is: first footing. The first person to cross the threshold brings the luck for the year. I know that technically this isn’t a house and we don’t have a threshold, but it’s the closest we can get,” Archie said. He tapped his chin thoughtfully. “You should really be carrying coal or whisky, ‘Ratio. Or black buns. I don’t suppose you have any?”

Horatio made a show of checking his pockets. “Strangely enough, no. How remiss of me; I knew I forgot something when I got dressed this morning.”

“Coins?”

“I don’t bring money on shore raids, Archie. What would I need it for?”

“To pay an innkeeper if we’re stuck here for much longer?” Archie suggested. “I don’t intend to spend more than one night on this beach.”

Bush snorted. “Something to remember for next year, perhaps, sir.”

“Indeed.” Horatio’s forehead creased briefly, in either curiosity or confusion. “Why did I have to be the first over the threshold? Surely it wouldn’t have mattered which of us was the one to enter.”

“It most certainly would!” Archie retorted. “If you knew anything about such things you’d be aware that tall, dark-haired men are the preferred first foot; they’re the luckiest of all.”

“I’ve got dark hair,” Bush pointed out, sitting down. “Am I not lucky?”

“You might have dark hair, but you’re not tall, are you?” Archie countered and Horatio hid a smile when Bush looked disgruntled. “Horatio’s got at least four inches on you and that makes all the difference tonight.”

Despite his amusement Horatio still appeared to be faintly baffled as he took a seat on the sand between them. “But why tonight?” he asked. “What’s so special about tonight? Other than it being a complete disaster, that is.”

It was quite typical of him to have failed to mark the date; customs and festivals never had meant all that much in his case, and it was sometimes difficult to keep track of time passing when at sea. “It’s January the first,” Archie told him, and watched as realisation slowly dawned.

“Good grief, so it is. I hadn’t really thought about it.” Horatio’s expression darkened. “All the more reason for us to be back aboard; the hands will probably drink themselves into a stupor in our absence.”

“Not without your approval. Matthews knows better than that; he won’t authorise any extra rum without your express command. When we return we’ll find a crew who are the very picture of sobriety, I’m sure.”

“He’s right, sir, though they’ll probably be none too pleased about it,” Bush said. “Especially Styles.” Then the corner of his mouth curled upwards and with somewhat more enthusiasm than he had summoned earlier he offered, “Happy New Year, sir.”

Horatio ducked his head, and when he raised it again there was a smile in place of the scowl that had descended a few moments before. “Thank you, William. Let’s hope we have a better one ahead of us.”

“With you to bring us luck, sir, how could we not? I’d raise a glass to that, had I one.” Bush glanced at Archie. “But as I don’t... how does the song end, Kennedy?”

Archie hesitated. “In Scots?”

At the mere mention of singing Horatio grimaced and Bush shook his head. “I think for the sake of our captain here English might be better.”

“You just don’t understand the words,” Archie teased, and grinned when he just received a flat stare in return. “All right. But you can join in with the chorus.”

Relenting, Bush chuckled. “Very well, if I must.”

Horatio didn’t look any less pained but Archie raised his voice nonetheless: “And there’s a hand my trusty friend, And give me a hand o’ thine! And we’ll take a right good-will draught, For auld lang syne! For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We’ll take a cup of kindness yet, For auld lang syne!”

And, as if summoned by the music and to Horatio’s obvious relief, from somewhere in the distance came the sound of oars.

I'm discovering The Longest Johns sang a French shanty! (or well, the french version of a shanty, I think ?)

Santiano/Santianna mash up

It's extremely obvious they haven't learned French and thus even more adorable and flattering :D

#Matt is French #The Longest John #It's cute!#also Santiano is probably one of my favorite oldies so it was a really nice surprise :D

Chapter 1 Notes: On Sea Shanties

Disclaimer: I am creating a tag for research notes, “Appendices” so to speak because I find it fun. Please don’t take me for an authority on anything. I truly do not know what I am doing. I just like information and notes and things, so just come down the rabbit hole with me - I have shanties.

A quick note on sea song vs. sea shanty Modern usage, they are one and the same. The word shanty, however, comes from the word chant or chanties (as I use in the story), which accompanied the work of the day, whereas a sea song may be more any song that falls into the genre of maritime tunes.

Drunken Sailor

Sea Songs also took many forms and evolved over time, which makes what we are left with today incredibly fun! This poor sailor has had to deal with quite a number of unfortunate situations. From belly shaved with a rusty razor, thrown in the brig till sober, given a taste of the bosun’s rope end (Gordon would never), given a hair of the dog that bit him. Poor dude.

Easily one of the most recognizable sea shanties today (well....maybe before Wellerman suddenly became a thing. When did that happen????), Drunken Sailor is a great example of the nuances. It could be Weigh, Hey, and up she rises, which I tend to hear most today, but I’ve used “Heave, Ho, and up she rises” for the story because it helps represent just how the sea songs evolved from the chanties - a solid heave ho drawn into a tune as they sailors check rigging for the day.

Some Favorite Examples of Drunken Sailor:

The Irish Rovers - Spotify | Youtube

Blaggards - Spotify | Youtube

Assassin’s Creed 4 - Spotify | Youtube

Santiano/Santianna/Santy Anna/ Santiana

This shanty may actually be dated later than our story, as it as least from the 1850s, speaking to the Mexican-American War, but that’s not to say there weren’t other versions that existed pre-dating what we know. The French version is from 1961, recorded by Hugues Aufray, and it speaks of a ship traveling from Saint-Malo to San Francisco. So in this case, we have different stories completely. I’ve used the fluid nature of shanties to my advantage, inspired just how lovely the French version is. (Also I don’t know French but LOVE listening to other languages). It screamed our boy John.

The lyric John sang is just the first line from the song, as it has very few references to historical things that you know... are glaringly not 1770s. So my head canon to my own AU head canon is that the Tbird was docked in New Orleans at the same time as a French ship named Santiano. Beautiful. *chef’s kiss*

C'est un fameux trois-mâts, fin comme un oiseau - Hissez haut! Santiano! Translated: It is a fine three-master thin like a bird. Heave-ho, Santiano! https://lyricstranslate.com/en/santiano-santiano.html

Mina and the boys often get on Sea of Thieves at horrendous hours of the night and scream sing along to sea shanties into the mic like absolute idiots. The first song they traditionally start with is Drunken Sailor just because they know Kirishima will scream sing it loud enough to make explody mcboom child go s u p e r n o v a so quickly. They can all hear it from their rooms and IT'S GLORIOUS !!

Kirishima just likes standing in the crows nest or at the very front of the boat, dances and pet's his oddly Bakugou colored husky that he's named ❛ Chick Chick ❜ , because the boom comes later ( or something like that ). He often has his spy glass out and warns them of incoming ships or tells Sero when he's coming up on smaller rock formations that can't be seen from the very back of the galleon. For the first thirty minutes, Kirishima always fishes for his rare fish with Chick Chick to complete the achievement for catching them and cooking them. He's T E R R I B L E at remembering the time needed to perfectly cook food, so he's constantly taking them off the pan too early and putting it back. He usually ends up going passed the perfect cook point. It never fails to make Denki l a u g h his ass off, because as the chef he always cooks the food to perfection.

Oddly enough, Denki is trying to complete all the culinary achievements at a much more relaxed pace than Kirishima. He's just here to have F U N and sing sea shanties with his best mates. Him and his Parrot, whose name is literally ALWAYS changing and so is the combination of outfits and the birds coloring. Though, ❛ Sir Squawks ❜ is a common name he cycles back to. He pays actual m o n e y to buy the whole flock of bird colors so he can change them all at a moment's notice. Denki often gets too distracted very easily with blowing himself out the canons and will literally swim to others people's boats to either give them nana's and or kill them. Maybe even both.

Sero is the makeshift captain. He is the only one with the attention span to stand at the wheel and give orders to others when he can't adjust the front sails or weight anchor. He spends M O S T of his time literally parallel parking the boat, has it down to an art form , and makes the SAME stupid joke every time: ❝ Like a glove. ❞ Honestly, he just wants to make loads of money . He's always grinding quests with Mina without the other two just so he can show off his n e w s t u f f when they get on to play. Him and Mina are like-minded in wanting the best cosmetics. He has a monkey named ❛ El Dorado ❜ that's always decked out in new gear and it's usually G O L D heavy. He literally wants the whole gold curse so he can have an avatar D R I P P I N G in gold like Midas.

Mina always ends up navigating, adjusting the sails, and keeping an eye out for stragglers trying to get their treasure while they're preoccupied. She is for sure the B E S T PvPer of the entire group; she turns into the general when they fight ships or the kraken or the megalodon, keeps them focused enough to W I N . Mina is grinding to reach Pirate Legend. She PvPs a lot in the game mode made specifically for it. Her and her black cat ❛ Selena ❜ are known to s n e a k aboard ships just to s t e a l and blow them up without their noticing with Denki distracting the crew for her. She keeps track of their loot and makes sure that their haul will level up certain aspects of their leveling in an orderly manner. She reminds them not to get too distracted on quests so they can complete some that'll level up their lower levels rather than what's higher. Mina plans on buying the whole range of pirate legend outfits and stuff, so she saves her money as much as possible, only buys cosmetics she feels she absolutely cannot live without.

On the rare, RARE days Bakugou actually plays, he changes the d y n a m i c just a bit. Despite Sero being on the helm and Mina being navigator, what Bakugou says is what they D O . He's the captain whenever he's around and Kirishima S H O U L D be best mate, but he isn't the best at PvPer nor can he keep on track enough to claim that spot, so it's Mina off the record. Bakugou and Mina always fight ships head-on and rarely ever L O S E together. A few times he's told her that if she put half as much attention into her studies as she did p i r a c y , she'd be doing a lot better than what she is. It hurts, but as usual, he’s right. Sometimes, he tells all of them if they don't make good enough scores, he's gonna take them outside and r u n ( not even actual running, just kicking their asses ) them out on the training field.

Mina has memorized the French version of Santana called ❛ Santiano ❜ word for word. Denki always asks her to solo this version by herself and they quietly repeat the regular words as they know it.
