#appledore iv

[secret-vampkissers-soiree]

This is my moodboard for the brilliant Castaways and Cutouts by @p1ckthep01son! I love a good nautical-pirate-mermaid-type adventure, and I may have gone just a little bit wild with this one, but it's a great story and I had a fun time putting these pictures together. It's such a fun high seas adventure and I highly recommend reading it!

Image sources (and a little rambling) below the cut.

Top row, left to right: my own photo onboard the Schooner Roseway; here with my own color editing; my own photo onboard Appledore IV (at the 2019 Green Bay Tall Ship Festival).

Left vertical column, top to bottom: here with my own recoloring; middle picture is my own of the Flagship Niagara (at the same festival); my own edits of this picture.

Center image: my own extensive edits of this image, plus hair from this image and this image (I thought about using William's actual hair like I did with Gabe, but I pictured him as having a sailor's ponytail in this fic, and surprisingly I don't think I've ever seen William with a ponytail, and so my encyclopedic archives of hundreds of David Tennant images that I've had saved since 2015 came in handy).

Right column, top to bottom: here, here (my recoloring), and my own photo onboard the Appledore IV

Bottom row: my own photo onboard the Appledore IV, here, and here

I love tall ships so so so much and it was fun to get to use a lot of my own photography in this one :) I'm just. a huge fan of boats <3
