Human Portugal AU, Pirate Nation England timetravels to modern Portugal during a storm, And History Professor Port Finds him?

This was such a nice and good idea anon that we roleplayed it with @greengreekeyes25 to see what happened. And it was amazing. AMAZING. The color doddles I did are first scene.

If you want to knoe more just ask!

so I’ve had this fantasy AU in the back of my mind since 2021 and I finally decided to draw some stuff on it

Maybe.......Pirate Arthur? 👀

You know, based on the timeframe of when the golden age of pirates took place, and the way that people often depict his clothing, England was likely colonizing America while still being a pirate. And I find that hilarious, the idea of him trying to be a kind mentor and instill good values into America, whilst also leaving for years on end to go terrorize everyone else.

The captain pauses from regaling his little merman with tales of gold doubloons and crown jewels to gaze at his most prized treasure of all.

I really like the idea of England thinking of himself as someone who is very nurturing and caring. Taking gender out of the equation, he basically wants to be everyone's mom and he thinks that he's good at it. He's a gardener, a tender of tender things. But the truth is that his presence as a caregiver is much like a desert: mostly absent of any real life-giving quality and when the rains do come, they are too much and wash away anything substantial that had been built in the absence. Perhaps a bloom comes after, but it dies just as quickly.

He is doting rather than nourishing. It's partly born out of the anxiety of wanting so badly to be liked and not lonely. The more difficult work of giving someone what they need or even what they actually asked for can often, though not always, be overshadowed by the gratification he feels in the overt delight they display when given pleasure (of any variety).

Having learned much over his long life, I think he comes to find a shape he fits better: something like a mentor and provider, perhaps a more father-like figure instead of the mum he secretly sort of wishes he was. He's an exceptionally pragmatic person who is willing to self-reflect and adapt in order to achieve his goals, though he most certainly will also do a bunch of mental gymnastics as to why his shortcomings are the fault of circumstances or other people and not his own.

I also think there's a version of Arthur that is more self-centered and selfish than even Alfred is. It's the natural progression of his "Everything I want is mine, even if I have to take it" disposition that if something doesn't currently hold much interest for him, it doesn't really need his care. Even having lived so long, he still sometimes struggles to put the needs of others ahead of his own wants, though he has gotten better with time.

Sometimes, I just want to look England in the eye when he says he is satisfied with needlepoint and gardening and knitting and baking and keeping a good home and caring for his loved ones and say, "Sure, Captain. You keep telling yourself that."

King Alfred has captured the notorious Captain Kirkland and thrown him in the dungeon, but he can't hold him for long!

Inside his cell, Arthur finds an obvious soft spot in the ground that a previous prisoner must have used to dig an escape tunnel.

Except it turns out that tunnel wasn't dug by a previous prisoner at all, because it leads to a secret spot where King Alfred is waiting with a special dinner set up.
