For the pirate au how does eda’s curse work and is it camilraeda

ohhh boy haven't thought about the pirate au in a while lets see what I remember

Eda's curse works much the same, but she's most sea-beasty than bird-beasty. And she's BIG. Not leviathan big, but about half the size of a decent pirate ship, maybe a little smaller. The 'feathers' on the Owl Beast are more like bristles and spines that can flare out and do quite a bit of damage. The 'wings' are more like fins she uses to move through the water. I imagine the long fur around her ears is something akin to lures like anglerfish.

She just got kinda messed over with a lot of curses, comes with the terrain of being a notorious pirate. The main two are just being stuck with Hooty and the Owl Beast, though. It's usually triggered the same way via stress or forgetting her elixir, BUT! Have y'all ever heard of the perigean spring tide? It's basically whenever the full or new moon is closest to the earth, and thus the gravitational pull makes the oceans notably rise. The high tides can be over a foot taller than normal during these times. Usually happen about once a month or so, and not to werewolf-ify Eda, but I can imagine that certainly makes it more likely for the Owl Beast to wanna pop out for a second.

But alas, I don't think camilraeda works for this AU, just based on where everyone is. Camila isn't in it all that often due to being, y'know, at home worrying about her kid. Sure won't stop Eda from nudging Raine and going "hey I'm gonna flirt w the kids mom real quick brb" at some point tho

“I cannot tell what I said to the Moon, or what the Moon said to me, but all the same, I got to know her very well. And this was the impression I got of her--that she ruled over a kingdom that was neither material nor spiritual, but a strange moon- kingdom of her own.”

“In it moved tides--ebbing, flowing, slack water, high water, never ceasing, always on the move; up and down, backwards and forwards, rising and receding; coming past on the flood, flowing back on the ebb; and these tides affected our lives.”

“They affected birth and death and all the processes of the body. They affected the mating of animals, and the growth of vegetation, and the insidious workings of disease. They also affected the reactions of drugs, and there was a lore of herbs belonging to them.”

“All these things I got by communing with the Moon, and I felt certain that if I could only learn the rhythm and periodicity of her tides I should know a very great deal. But this I did not learn; for she could only teach me abstract things, and the details I was unable to receive from her because they eluded my mind.”

“I found that the more I dwelt on her, the more I became conscious of her tides, and all my life began to move with them. I could feel my vitality rise and ebb and flow and ebb again. “

“And I found that even when I wrote of her, I wrote in time to her rhythms, as you may have noticed; whereas when I write of everyday things I write in the staccato rhythms of everyday life. At any rate, be things as they may, I lived in time to the Moon in a very curious manner while I lay ill.”

Moon Tides - 1966

a taste of the cold air 

the warmth in your bold stare haunts me the time that we're wasting the words bitter tasting to you mountains seem lonely without holding closely to you days full of promise time creeps up on us slowly
