Piece of shit your “advice” didn’t fucking do anything

@master-at-arms

What? I thought I told you that we were pretending that conversation never happened. If you somehow ignored everything I said and fucked up anyway, that's hardly my problem.

...

*Damn it.*

No, actually, fuck that. I didn't lay out all my shit for you on a silver platter for you to turn around and waste it like an idiot.

Tell me what happened.

Having a side blog esp a rp blog is so fun when you repost stuff to the wrong account like why the fuck is gunpowder Tim obsessing over art of Alice dyer

Second Crew member finally finished, meet Tidus Cutthroat. Her knuckles are handmade and have shark teeth inserted into them.

These designs were randomized, meaning I put the roles of the crew and species of sharks into a randomizer and ended up with random pairings.

A Game of Thrones, Arya I

Ser Rodrik tugged thoughtfully at his white whiskers. “What are you suggesting?” he asked the prince.

“Live steel.”

“Done,” Robb shot back. “You’ll be sorry!”

The master-at-arms put a hand on Robb’s shoulder to quiet him. “Live steel is too dangerous. I will permit you tourney swords, with blunted edges.”

Joffrey said nothing, but a man strange to Arya, a tall knight with black hair and burn scars on his face, pushed forward in front of the prince. “This is your prince. Who are you to tell him he may not have an edge on his sword, ser?”

“Master-at-arms of Winterfell, Clegane, and you would do well not to forget it.”

“Are you training women here?” the burned man wanted to know. He was muscled like a bull.

“I am training knights,” Ser Rodrik said pointedly.

“They will have steel when they are ready. When they are of an age.”

BIG anchors….

NORFOLK NAVAL SHIPYARD, VIRGINIA (October 22, 2020) -- Master-at-Arms (law enforcement) 1st Class Brian Dunne, USN (left) is reenlisted for a few more years of Naval service by LTJG Asa Calloway, USN, on the starboard anchor of United States Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75).

Operational conditions permitting, Sailors are allowed to pick their “spot” for traditional reenlistment ceremonies. Normally, the location maintains a special meaning or significance for the Sailor extending his or her contract with the Navy.

This is how they got out to the perch on the anchor.

That anchor looks a bit beaten-up right now only because the aircraft carrier is in the shipyard for an extensive maintenance period between overseas deployments. That anchor will be gleaming again soon....

What do you think the position of master-at-arms means in the series? There are some things you can infer, but it seems kind of nebulous. The words & most common use in the books, suggest an expert who is responsible for training, but Aron Santagar seems ot be in charge of the armory. Other uses for the term seem to be the guy in charge of military/combat stuff for a group whose leader might be chosen for other criteria (ie a ship). And Rodrik seems to have a broad range of duties for the Starks

It appears in the series that a master-of-arms bears training responsibilities and is appointed by the lord. As someone who would be in charge of students and would supervise them carefully, a master-at-arms would have access to the armory.

Historically speaking, a master-at-arms was a naval rank, in charge of law enforcement and security.

The reason why Rodrik has so many duties is that he is also the castellan of Winterfell, which has a wide purview of official duties.

Thanks for the question, Anon.

The smoke from Osprey’s cigarette wound upward toward the shattered planet in the sky. It was early morning, and she was finishing a long watch shift. She rubbed her bleary eyes. As nice as the tea Lark had brought her had been, what she really needed was a cup kafa. Since taking up the Master-at-Arms role, Osprey had found herself more on edge than she had been in ages, since she had been deployed with Kestrel to Zangarra. She took another drag; the soft sizzle of burning rolling paper cut through morning quietude. She flicked the glowing stub from her perch high in the crow’s nest, and watched as its cherry spiralled down down down into the glassy sea. No, taking care of others, being the protective detail, as it were, was something she had done in the past and had never really viewed herself doing again. Between the sleepless nights and boring as hell diplomatic conversations to which she had been subjected, Osprey had decided long ago she could only do one of those things well at a time. But who was she to protest orders? A promotion was a promotion. It was necessary. And she had earned it. Petrel’s orders were explicit — protect the assets at all costs. Alright. At least she’d be getting a pay bump. The fact an account had been set up for all her current and back military pay was an encouraging sign. Perhaps her duty was almost up. Osprey cast a long look toward the planet hovering just above Azeroth’s horizon. She wondered what it was like. ‘Argus’ was the name she had heard whispered — was this the old goat’s ancestral home world? If it’s denizens were as pigheaded as Mister Albatross had been, she wanted to remain as far away as possible — fuck that guy, she thought. She closed her eyes, crossed her arms, and leaned against the wall of the crow’s nest. She listened to the roll of the sea and the calls of the seabirds. She took a deep breath, filling her lungs with the salty, moist air. After a time, she opened her eyes and watched the horizon. Minutes passed. A faint green flash cut across the surface of distant waters. Then the sun began to rise. Osprey smiled. She shut her eyes once more, let the light warm her, and enjoyed feeling of the sea as it rocked her body gently with the current. In that moment, as in every other instance of those moments, she let herself become one with nature. Soon, the sound of shuffling feet from far below began to drift to her. She sighed. And then Wren’s shouted call: “Watch change. Mister Mason, relieve Miss Osprey!” “Shift change, aye!” Osprey called. She pushed herself up once she had heard Andrew’s muffled acknowledgement from belowdecks. She hoisted herself over the wall and began to climb down. An anticlimactic end to another boring shift. At least she had that bedroll she had spread across her bunk waiting for her. A perk, she supposed. (( Mentioned: @juniper-rose-blower @brian-wellson @quai-mason @andrew-mason / [ @blackbay-wra ] ))
