Weeks pass since that fateful night on the Flying Dutchman, but James Norrington's journey isn't over yet.
For @theflamehallow
Chapter one is finally here! Hope you all enjoy!
I HAVE RETURNED
Hello all! With the US Presidential Election finally coming to a close, I have decided to make a triumphant return to my fandom blogging.
Thank you to everyone who sent me loving messages, tagged me in posts, and continued to interact with the content I have made. Even though I haven’t been posting or replying, I have been on to see what’s been happening throughout my sabbatical, and your concern, encouragement, and continuing to be a positive community has lifted my spirits in a time where they certainly needed it.
I have quite a backlog of messages and reviews to respond to, so it may take me while to get back into things, but I am glad to officially be back, and I look forward to interacting with you all, my fandom family. ♡
For the fic writing meme! 1, 2, 13, 17!
katherine you angel! thank you <3
1. who is the hardest character for you to write?
hmm... so far i’ve really only written james, elizabeth, and theo, and of the three of those i’d say elizabeth is the most challenging, mostly because she is so wonderfully contradictory that i worry about emphasizing one of her many traits over another to serve the story, if that makes sense? in the two fics i’ve written with her she’s been a bit softer and more romantic and open, which we certainly know she’s capable of, and though i want to provide her that space to be more vulnerable, i also take great strides not to strip her of her feistiness and stubbornness in the process.
other than that, i’d say i’ve shied away from writing jack because i’m not sure how to capture him best...
2. who is the easiest character for you to write?
i think i’d say our boy james! i certainly still have fears about painting him as too stiff or reserved and reducing him to a caricature rather than the richly complex character that he is, but i definitely feel more confident writing for him.
13. how do you come up with your titles?
SLOWLY AND PAINFULLY. i almost never have the titles planned before writing the piece, and it’s always the most arduous part of the process for me. i try to make them short enough that they’re memorable and catchy, but also want them to convey the heart of the story. “rules of engagement” came a bit easier than “calluses”, the latter of which was admittedly a bit of a cop-out title. i had “all the king’s men” as a tentative title for my james & theo fic for the longest time, but i kept having that song of achilles quote floating around my head the entire time i was writing it, so i decided on that at the last minute. i think “i would know him in death” is one of the defining threads throughout the work (though this is a whole other tangent i won’t bore people with LMAO).
17. what is the most supportive comment you have gotten?
PFFFFT YOU ALREADY KNOW
jk, though it’s really difficult to choose just one because i’ve been SO immensely fortunate to be on the receiving end of such wonderful and generous praise from so many of you (you, @theflamehallow, and @warmbluezzz most notably)! i don’t want to single one out at the risk of seeming ungrateful toward the others, but i’d say that your incredibly thoughtful comment on “rules of engagement” and @theflamehallow’s comment on “i would know him in death” were remarkably edifying. i actually keep screenshots of each on my phone as nuggets of encouragement, and especially meaningful ones coming from two of my favorite fic writers <3
norrington-hell replied to your post: Please stop posting selfies of yourself. It's...
anon needs to fuck all the way off. Suzie is gorgeous and the rest of us fucking love her selfies.
Aw, babe. No worries, that Anon is long gone and I’m pretty sure they realized that what with the friends I have here and my own level of Fuck You, they’re gonna lose no matter what. Regardless, thanks for looking out for me!
For the Quarantine Asks: 1, 22, 35!
1. Animated character that was your gay awakening? I’d like to say Shego from Kim Possible, in retrospect xD. 22. What was your “phase” when you were younger? (i.e., Mythology Nerd, Horse Girl, Space Geek, etc) - Greek Mythology, Egypt, I had a few phases x) 35. You have to get one meme tattooed on your body, what meme is it and where does it go? - Best couple Tattoo idea: one person has ‘And they were roommates’ and the other one would have ‘omg they were roommates’ :D Otherwise how bout ‘go suck a dick’ in fancy font.
For the Quarantine Ask Meme! 3, 11, 16, 30, 37, 47!
3 & 30: previously answered =w=
11. Preferred way to spend a rainy day?
Indoors and quite likely sleeping.
16. Pick a song lyric to describe your current mood (and drop the name and artist!)
'Stedda nawr rho dy ben i lawr, fydd pob un dim yn iawn
Sit down now, put your head down, everything will be fine
Yep, tis Welsh (which I do not speak or understand but I like the way it sounds), so I have found a translation for one of the lyrics. The song is Sebona Fi by Yws Gwynedd and it’s just so cheerful and upbeat I love it.
37. Lakes, rivers, or oceans?
Lakes.
When I think rivers, I think of fast-flowing water and strong currents that will pull you along while you’re helpless in your tiny kayak and praying that you don’t capsize and hit your head on the river bed and then drown while you bleed out from your huge head wound.
When I think of oceans, I think of sea sickness. I went whale watching once and the seas were so choppy you could feel the boat going up and down. I forced myself to sleep for most of the ride to stave off nausea but my mum couldn’t sleep and puked all over the deck because she couldn’t run to the side of the boat fast enough. I was pale and shaking by the end and my mum was green. Like literally pale green I never knew people could actually do that.
Whereas lakes, I think of cozy log cabins and fresh pine forests and watching beavers making dams. Much more pleasant all around.
47. How do you top your ice cream?
Occasionally with Baileys Chocolat Luxe for vanilla or strawberry ice-cream. Otherwise, I like my ice-cream plain.
