The Irish Currach
The currach is a traditional Irish boat built from a light wooden frame covered with tarred leather or canvas. They were usually 4.80 to 5.50 m long and slightly less than 1 m wide. Depending on the purpose for which they were built and where they were built, they could be seaworthy with a keel and sail or flat as a river or coastal vessel. It is not known exactly when they first appeared on the coasts of Ireland, but they seem to have been around since the Neolithic period.

Used for fishing or transport, they could also be used for other purposes. Pytheas of Massalia is said to have used one around 340 BC during his exploration of north-western Europe. Whether he actually did so is questionable, since his account of the voyage has been lost and other ancient authors like to portray him as a liar and label his observations as fictitious. Today's researchers, however, believe him to a large extent.
Pytheas on his voyage to Thule in 340 BC, by Stephen Biesty 2011
In chapter 4 of the Navigatio Sancti Brendani, the author describes how St Brendan and his monks built a curragh for the planned sea voyage in 565 and 573 AD across the open sea to the "Isle of the Blessed". The material is described in detail: resin-soaked ox hides tanned in oak tan for the covering, ash wood for the frames and oak wood for gunwale, oars, oars and mast, all made waterproof with (sheep) fat. Then a hull was constructed from longitudinal and transverse frames joined with leather strips, the skins pulled over them and sewn together with flax fibre threads. Oars, mast, leather straps (for the shrouds and sheets), leather sails, as well as spare skins, woods and grease completed the equipment.

A similarly constructed boat is described in the mythical tales Immram Curaig Maíle Dúin ("The Voyage of the Boat of Máel Dúin") from the 10th century and Immram Brain ("Bran's Voyage") from the 8th century. The currach survives to this day and caused quite a stir in the 17th century when an attempt was made to recreate a seagoing one. Captain Thomas Phillips, described and drew it as follows: "A portable vessel made of wicker, commonly used by the wild Irish". The ocean-going vessel is about 6m long, has a keel and rudder, a ribbed hull and a mast in the middle of the vessel. Because of the keel, the ship is built from the bottom up. A fairing (probably made of animal skins) was added, with the sides supported by poles in the gaps.
The mast is supported by stays and double shrouds on each side, the latter sloping down to an outer plank which serves as a chain stay. The forestay runs over a small fork above the yard, which carries a square sail: a branch is tied to the top of the mast. The stern is topped by double half-rings which could support a cover.
Captain Thomas Phillips - Currach, 17th century
Phillips' sketches suggest that such a vessel was by all means common in his time and probably in use earlier. The keel would improve the handling of the boat, but the hull would remain flexible.
A modern Donegal Sea Currach
Today's currachs are sturdy, light and versatile vessels. Their framework consists of a truss formed by frames and stringers and surmounted by a gunwale. There is a stem and stern post, but no keel. For this it is rowed but can also have a mast and sail, but with a minimum of rigging. The outside of the hull is covered with tarred canvas or calico, a substitute for animal skin. They are used for, recreation, fishing, ferries and for transporting goods and livestock, including sheep and cattle.

captiancap asked: I'd like to see any art you have of the Michigan Fleet cast. I do really like them. feral-engineer asked: For art requests: can we get something with trimmer? Maybe a hug, or baby trimmer causing problems on purpose? damnfool-of-a-took asked: for the art prompt request! Michigan Fleet, kid!Trimmer🔪👀?
Y'all are just too kind 🥰 I've been sitting on boatboy sketchbook scans for a WHILE not getting around to them, so here are some folks--some on boats and some not, some from published books and some not! :D
Rich and Trimmer never met each other as kids which is probably for the best because Rich was an impressionable little dumpling and Trimmer was a fast-paced, daring, precocious bump/bruise-magnet, like many fourhands kids lol
#splickedydoodles#boat boys#Rich Merrill#in varying hairstyles ages and anxiety levels lol. the long hair is just me messing around. the short hair. well. i shant say.#Joey Trimmer#back before the stabbing days.......... :.)#Liam Beaker#in the state he's normally in when Rich isn't around which is Well-Medicated Fast-Paced One-Man Boss Bitch Engineer Beaker#Solace King#NOT actually back before his stabbing days. because his stabbing days started much earlier than Trimmer's unfortunately#Benedict Jones#(least cool action guy voice ever) I'm In =___=. come on ben you're a spook do a cool line or something.#Arthur Carraway#transposed out of his original context. which it turns out uhhh makes him exponentially worse and more dangerous.#i almost typed freak off the leash but actually that's a microaggression against lykoi haha#ANYWAY there........................... some boatboys U_U

Why did Oisin’s Grandma go so unimaginably hard?
Seriously, besides the vague idea of “Porter made a promise of money/power when this was over” or “These kids killed my boyfriend who i haven’t seen in 300 years,” why the hell did she summon multiple wyrms and other dragonkin, presumably from her own brood, to fight the Bad Kids?
What did she gain?
Why does she even care what one of her hundreds of descendants is up to?

"Mano po."
Pagmamano (Tagalog) - "honouring-gesture;" a sign of respect towards elders
A continuation of sorts, of this other drawing I made of the Feänorians, which was roughly inspired by Filipino culture. I originally planned on completing this for @nolofinweanweek, specifically the first prompt about how Fingolfin and Feänor's families got along, but life got in the way and I didn't finish it in time. More background/my long rambles under the cut:
Pagmamano - touching the back of an elder's hand on one's forehead - is not restricted to family, but it's usually done in the context of elder family members. I have many memories of attending family reunions and being told to follow the other kids to "mano po" a grandfather, aunt, or uncle. While Elves don't have elderly relatives, per se, I thought this image was too fun not to draw. Also, I love envisioning Feänor as that cool uncle who gives the most amazing gifts but like, the kids are intimidated by him, so they have to be told (and supervised) by their parents to line up and greet him properly. Fingolfin's just standing there making sure his kids all greet their uncle. (Maedhros, presumably having already finished his greetings, is sidetracking Fingon.)
All this to say, I think that these guys didn't have the perfect relationship. But. You can't convince me Finwë didn't get the whole family together from time to time on some sort of family reunion camping trip. And Feänor just has to begrudgingly tolerate it because he can't say no to his dad. While the kids, obviously, have a great time.
#are any of the characters' ages canon accurate?? probably not. i did 0 amount of research#in my mind maedhros is quite a bit older than the other kids though i don't know if there's a canon basis for that#but it's more Fun This Way!! so#drawing this type of silm fanart is my guilty pleasure#it took me 6 hours to color this thing#and i don't regret it at all#i love spending too much time overanalyzing the feanor fingolfin finarfin relationship and developing headcanons that will#eventually make me sad Because Canon Happened#sorry if i don't tag all the characters because it can't fit under the tag limit lol#the kids in front:#argon#aredhel#fingon#maedhros#turgon#on the left there is:#finarfin#(with sons)#(feanor's kids in the boat. you can probably tell which one is with the giant dog and which one is lugging around a guitar)#grandpa finwe with galadriel#on the right: anaire and nerdanel making fun of everyone else#uhhh the ambarussa are somewhere there (i forgot to draw them shh)#and finally of course you have the Dads#feanor#fingolfin#about to start the spicy drama in the fam reunion#clarisse doodles#tolkien#the silmarillion#elves

Response to this post by @onedreamaday:
love this so much. If you ever get the chance, can you do a follow with MC telling Lee that Baxter is the mystery boy? (Bonus if they're dating). Lee would have a field day.
I absolutely can.
