Hey all, I think it’s time we had a little chat.

I’ve been on this blog since just after 2013… February 3rd marked my 9th year with Jessica in fact.  And while I’ve had an amazing time here and met all of you wonderful people… it might be time to call it quits.

     I made Jessica when I needed her the most.  I was desperate, lonely, depressed, discouraged.. honestly I was at my lowest when I met the friends that got me into roleplay.  I really came into my own here. Tumblr had always been my home but now I could be this tall, brave pirate lady instead of my own unhappy self.      Even after the worst was over I still couldn’t get over the fun I was having. The drama, the romance, the horror, the adventures, and you know what? I honestly think I was really good at it. I improved as a writer and as a friend. …But I haven’t been much of a friend lately.  As things got better and better I started writing less and less.  I’d be gone for longer and longer swathes of time.  It started just with school and then jobs getting in the way but then… I found myself looking for excuses.       Thats not fair to my rp partners. I feel like I lead people on and that just kinda puts me off of writing even more.  I lost the spark for roleplay long ago.  It was really all that matted to me at one point and I’ll never, ever forget the near decade of healing it brought me…. But now there is warm soup on the stove and a fire in the hearth and my house is cute, cozy and clean. Now I have a man who adores me and a job that appreciates me and I can finally be happy with ME.

   So, thank you I guess. Thank All of you. @bluesmuses you were my first friend here, thank you for your grace and your patience with me. @concordia-cum-insolito you are literally my dearest friend and I owe you more than you’ll ever know. @shiningsilverarmor knowing you was a treat and @merlinsmushrooms and @captkorso-blog arent around tumblr anymore but that doesn’t change how important yall were to me. @hookd @riidcr and @all-fleshed-out I love you so much it was such an honor playing yall’s mom qwq @starsailingcaptain you are a legend and your dreams will never die and @emcads​ you were a huge inspiration, literally never stop posting. There are so many people I want to thank who I lost touch with or can’t find but I’m kinda wanting to end this post before I change my mind.

   So on a final note, I’m moving all tumblr activity to @piratelooksat27​ and it’s sideblogs. I’m actually going to try to dabble in fanfiction!  Maybe one day life will suck again and I’ll return, but until then I’m sticking to discord and my personal.

   Thank you, I love all of you. And , Jessica, thank you too uvu.

   Farewell mateys.  Fair winds to ya.

        An’ remember- A ship is safe in the harbor,                                             But that’s not what ships are for…

It goes without saying but I'm leaving this blog too. Farewell All. Floreat Etona.

   HEY YOU - yes you, ya landlubber!  Ever wanted to sail  the high sees?  To pillage and plunder?  Steal art?  Collect treasure?  Party and drink?  Taste both the pirate’s life and the lap of luxury?  Is your muse’s life lacking an adventure?

   Specifically, are they  lacking adventure with a wine loving, gardening enthused, jovial, kick-ass, middle aged scientist who also happens to be a pirate captain?

   Then please INTERACT WITH THIS POST  if you are willing to roleplay with a very canon-divergent

                            Thank You, Matey - Fair winds to ya!

writing is so fun

i hate writing so much

this is so frustrating

i’m a literal god at writing

AHA I’ve finally succeeded in transcribing the Pirate Code, as found printed in a booklet insert included with the Ultimate Trilogy Collection (a 2011 best buy exclusive box set). given that this box set is somewhat pricey/hard to find, I had to rely on unboxing/review videos for reference in my first attempt, but at a certain point the text was impossible to decipher.

now, with many thanks to a kind and helpful person, I’ve been provided with good quality photos of the pages. from what I can tell, it’s not quite an exact copy of what’s glimpsed in At World’s End, but it IS the closest damn thing to seeing an entire semi-canon Code that we’ll probably ever get
