Sabbat and Archer - Argentum in Aqua Fanart / Personal Work A portrait of Archer is not complete without Sabbat, and likewise in the reverse. Each of their portraits in the chair work fine on their own, but it's as a pair that they really come together. This one was a fun one, because Sabbat's choice of clothing contrasts so well with Archer: Sabbat is wearing cheap/worn/out of date styles that were chosen more for how easy it is to run around in them, while Archer's are more current, tailored and made for comfort. Sabbat's also wearing his outdoor (hobnail) boots rather than the soft indoor boots Archer is wearing. (And probably ruining Archer's floors while he's about it.) The emboidery on his outfits is both subtler (black on black) and simpler (generic leaf patterns on waistcoat and trews, snowflake on boots), rather than the custom, fancy silver embroidery on Archer's.

Letter of Marque Moodboards: Side characters, William Archer

First mate of the Adalaine’s Promise, Vincent’s best friend, Eztli’s confidant, loyal to a fault, calm and collected

 “Have you had letters from back home, Will? How is your family?”

“My brothers write constantly, and ask me to send them girls with my letters. My sister asks if I have found a wife over here yet, and if not, she knows available maids aplenty looking for a sailor for a husband. I think she means they’re hoping for a man with some rank for them to climb with.”

“And your mother? Is she still ill?”

“The money I’ve sent home has greased the palms of enough doctors at last, it seems. She is weak, but she is writing me again, and my siblings seem hopeful. She is not a young woman any longer, but I must do all I can for her, as she has done for me.”

“Of course,” Vincent agreed. “You know if you wish to return home at any time, we can find you transport.”

“Return home?” he repeated, and waved towards the great expanse of blue stretching in all directions around them, Havana fading quickly in the distance. “Captain, I am home.”

The Goth is not the highest element in our composition. He lives in our nerves, whereas the Greek lives in our intellect. But since the nerves respond automatically to the stimulus of theatrical effect, whereas the intellect responds only through a voluntary effort, when Goth meets Greek in the theatre there is practically no tug of war the Goth holds the field.

For screenwriters: More lessons from playwriting

How can a book on playwriting written in 1912 be relevant in screenwriting today? In 1912, filmmaking was in its teens – literally, only 17 years old. The author of the book is William Archer, a Scottish theatre critic based in London, a personal friend of Bernard Shaw, and a deep connoisseur of the theatre of his time. The amazing thing about this book is that, if you extract the basics of it,…

three cute truths and one dirty one for william archer???

Oh god this is not one I was expecting. Okay, cute truths are easy:

- He and Vincent have been bffs since they were children, and when Vincent inherited the ship, he took William off the docks and gave him a rank he probably didn’t deserve because he trusted him that much. Despite that, William knows what he’s doing and is loyal to a fault.

- William is the first man (aside from arguably Vincent) that Eztli trusts. He is so genuinely polite and welcoming that she immediately adopts him as a brother and calls him by his first name from there on out.

- Book 2 is WIlliam’s romance arc, and it’s going to be with a trans samurai because history is INSANE and I can’t wait to write it.

And the dirty truth???

- This is hard because he’s such a Good Boy. Probably the biggest dirty truth is that his family is a bunch of thieves and criminals, and when he was young he helped do Bad Things for money, but he ended up basically disowning them to try and work an honest living. He still sends his mother money anyway.
