#Cup Magic

[a-solitary-sea-rover-backup]

Honestly, as an aspiring artist who drew cartoons in school, threw himself into learning to sail, and was last seen trying to make the RNZYS Youth Development Squad by 2000, for fanfic purposes I could absolutely see grown-up present-day Mike Lucas being Jérémie’s friend and colleague as an official event/team cartoonist who knows the high-performance side well enough to draw his comics accurately.

If Jérémie started in the IMOCA world and Mike stayed focused on inshore and the America's Cup, maybe they met through the Volvo Ocean Race?

If they were ever hired by different teams in the same competition, they would probably do “cartoon combat” feuds like the “Eagle vs Kiwi” cartoons that Oracle and ETNZ supporters were drawing in 2017, but just in a spirit of friendly competition rather than actual anger. And they also might have collaborated to create comics together like the fictional Cartoon Guide to the America's Cup from “Taurine Apocalypse Bermudian”.

(Meanwhile in the personification-verse, he could follow the same path, but also be a lifelong friend of the original Black Magic brothers [Brian and Barry]— I might try a fanfic that inserts them into the book.)

new theory real reason Bakura doesn’t get rid of the ring is that the compass function is too damn useful and he’s a ditz so he’ll lose stuff all the time and just be like “oh ancient mystical artifact, please point me to my keys” and it will lead him around his apartment. and that is simply so useful and practical that it’s honestly worth the occasional stabbing or demonic possession

The Siren Archetype

Learn to Embody the Siren Archetype

In seduction, the Siren Archetype is a woman with a great magnetic charm and a glamorous appearance that enchants men to their doom.

Her emotional sensations allow her to hold a string of influence over others and once they become emotionally attached, they fall into a deep obsession.

The Siren Archetype has remained in the mainstream media and women with this Archetype continue to fascinate the world.

Their supreme magnetism and mystique will never wear off.

Examples in Media: Angelina Jolie, Alexa Demie, Marilyn Monroe.

The Siren Archetype is represented by the tarot cards, the Queen of Cups and the Star.

If this is your archetype, you're in unity with your sexuality and can captivate people like a spell.

Due to your healthy and expressive sexuality, you are the most powerful archetype. You are fully aware of this and can use your feminine wiles to attract your desires easily. You can be very strategic and think logically while also maintaining a sexy and alluring aura. This makes you dangerous in the eyes of men and you attract them effortlessly with your magnetic sex appeal, mystery and promise of pleasure. You easily garner envy, admiration, lust and the desire of others but you choose to remain unfazed by it all. You deeply honor your body and self-image and of course, you expect others to do the same.

I think one downside of Cup Magic being kids’ historical fiction set in the recent past at such a specific event is that there already ARE real kids who were part of the AC 1995 story, who are now grown-up, so they are sort of kept at arms-length from the fictional protagonist just like all of the other still-living real people.

And that’s not really noticeable with the adults, because how close are most kids with their parents’ co-workers, really? But here we’re told the fictional Mike Lucas is hanging out with James and Sarah-Jane Blake and Emma and Nick Blackman, and that they call themselves “the Cup Kids”. (Oddly, Grayson Coutts, in the same age group, is never mentioned at all until the final celebrations.)

However, Mike doesn’t describe his interactions with them in anything like the kind of detail he uses to talk about hanging out with his fictional friends. It’s just things like “I heard Sarah-Jane and Emma practice a song they wrote”, whereas with his invented friends Hone and Lucy, we get conversations and escapades transcribed.

I can see why Susan Battye might feel weird about fictionalizing too many details of the childhoods of people who are now adults, (especially the Blakes, who have lived most of their lives in the public eye, including when grieving after their father’s murder), and saying they had a fictional BFF who never really existed. Such an approach might require her to talk with them and get their permission, and IIRC the Blakes now live in England rather than NZ, so that could have been hard.

So instead we get this arms-length approach where we don’t get the sense that Mike is very close to people who are supposedly his good friends.
