Thieves and Beggers

In the sea, there’s a small gang of pirates always on the hunt for treasure. After finding a loot that holds powerful weapons/jewelry they refuse to let them go. Sometimes the treasures they find get them into circumstances and whoever offers the best price has them on their side. If they fall back on the promise to the crew or do something that doesn’t agree with them, they switch sides. After all, there’s no honor among thieves.

They are aware of the magic of the Seven, Chernabog, the Princesses, and many others and had no intention of taking them but do so when the right price is offered. At first they’re bent on stealing the Maiden’s powers but then become their allies once they find out the true intentions. They still loot and steal, what do you expect, but they will come whenever they’re needed.

Captain: Natalie Doveenstien

The only woman aboard the ship and it’s captain. She’s the daughter of an influential man back home but her heart yearned for adventure. She would often stare out at the sea as a young girl and dreamed of what a life of thrills would be like instead of the stuffy life her future would be. She did meet a boy who washed ashore of her island home and they became friends. As they grew older they drifted apart due to social classes. It broke her heart to be separated from her friend but there was no choice. One night, the island is under attack by pirates and she’s one of the two people taken hostage. She spends some time aboard the ship, learning about piracy and becoming talented with a sword. She then stages a mutiny with the hostage from her home, and other captives and becomes the new captain.

When the other captives wanted to leave the ship afterwards, she stops at a nearby island and lets them go. Only one person stays behind and she builds a new crew from people wanting to leave old lives behind or looking for adventure.

Magical Object: The Swifty Blade

A cutlass sword that can cut through any material. It’s said that the sword was used by a Pirate King to free lost souls from the Locker. The sword chooses who wields it and its owner won’t get harmed by its razor sharp blade.

Quartermaster: Dylan Southwest

A man who doesn’t remember much of his past. The earliest memory he can recall is washing ashore on an island with pieces of a shipwreck. He becomes friends with Natalie but they drift apart as years went on. During his childhood, he was adopted by the blacksmith and learns how to make weapons. He becomes quite good at making weapons and people would pay him handsomely for customized weapons. When no one was around, he would practice using them. When pirates attacked his home, he’s the only other person, besides Natalie who becomes hostage. He quickly makes himself useful and crafts/fixes blades for the crew. They treated him a bit nicer than other hostages, since his father was once captain. He overhears the pirates telling stories of his father and realizes that piracy runs through his blood. He builds Natalie’s first sword and teaches her how to use it.

He’s the only one to stay behind after the mutiny was done. Whenever someone needs their weapon fixed, they turn to him. He even makes new ones if it’s beyond repair.

Magical Object: The Obsidian Dagger

A dagger with the blade made purely of obsidian. It’s said that it was wielded by a legendary pirate captain. Those who wield this dagger can either create a new blade from a single slash or kill anyone with a single stab. It’s only up to the user to decide what the fate is.

Medic/Boatswain: Asher Caspian

He spent a good portion of his life on the sea. His father was a pirate while his mother was a woman he met for a one night stand. When Asher was born, his mother gave him the choice to see their son. Throughout his early childhood, he lived with his mom, only seeing his dad every once in a while. Whenever he did visit, he told him stories of his adventures. When he was ten, she died of an illness and he came to live with his dad on the ship. He becomes interested in medicine in his early teens and starts practicing it. It wasn’t long until he became the medic on board. However, a magical being attacked the ship one night. Rumor is that the captain hadn’t pulled his end of the bargain, and a lot of people lost their lives. He was one of the only people to survive the attack.

He was picked up by another crew and began traveling from crew to crew, captain to captain. When he crosses paths with Natalie and Dylan, he ends up liking their company and decides to stay. For good

Magical Object: The Skeleton’s Medallion

A golden medallion with a skull on it. Whoever wears the medallion will turn into a skeleton in the moonlight. They will go beyond human limits as long as they stay in the moonlight. They’ll be very difficult to kill as long as the moon shines.

Master Gunner: Silas Ager

A man who lived through many struggles. His parents died when he was a baby and when he was little, he captured and sold off into slavery. He bounced from noble house to noble house until he’s captured by pirates. He earned respect from the crew for fighting a crewman and becomes Cabin Boy. As time goes on, he climbs the ranks, becoming captain of a crew of his own. He lived on the terror he struck into many of people, including his very own crew. Whenever anyone saw his ship, they knew it was too late. It wasn’t long before his blade pierced the captain’s chest. However it all would change, when another pirate crew snuck aboard his ship and killed a majority of the crew, leaving him alive. He felt fear for the first time in years. He spent time drifting on his boat, trying to forget the eyes of his crew’s killer. He is snapped out of his daze by his ship crashing into rocks.

He is rescued by Asher and joins Natalie’s crew. He wants to be captain again but he’ll wait until he can mentally recover from the effects of seeing his own crew die.

Magical Object: The Sea’s Heart

A heart shaped necklace that can give the wearer abilities of the sea. They can change their appearance to survive the salty waters and control its creatures. If you blow into the top of the necklace, you summon the Kraken to do your bidding.

Navigator/Helmsman: Lo Hawks

Another man who grew up on the seas. He spent his childhood as Cabin Boy before getting promoted. One night during a storm, the ship is struck by lightning and everyone abandons ship. They all wash ashore of a desert island. A lot of the crew didn’t like Lo, and the ones that did died in the sunken ship. Without his knowledge, they crafted an escape raft and left Lo behind with a pistol with a single shot left. Lo spent three days on the island on his own, surviving on the local game, and alcohol, with rum becoming his favorite. He spots a couple of sea creatures and uses them to escape. Some say he used sharks, others say dolphins, while some claim it was the Kraken itself— when in reality it was sea turtles.

He quickly becomes a laughing stock among the pirates and joins Natalie’s crew, wanting to be at sea again. His nature makes everyone question the choice to have him stay aboard but it all goes away when he sails them to safety.

Magical Object: The Compass of the Lost

A compass that points to the direction of the user’s wants. Most people see this as the most useless thing ever but those who can accurately read the directions can see where they want to go.

Sailing Master/Carpenter: Sam Robinson

A man that wants more in life. He spent his childhood with his mother, helping out in the family’s inn. His father abandoned his family when he was little so he has no memories of him. When he was a child, pirates rampaged through his home one night, taking him hostage and killing his mother in front of his names. He quickly learns that for his survival, he must become a pirate. He’s made Cabin Boy but must be watched as he will fight anyone who he feels is threatening him. He spends a lot of time studying the stars and starts navigating through the stars. When this skill is discovered he becomes the Sailing Master. He received a lot of abuse, and almost died from the crew. One day, when the boat was docked at a port for supplies, he escapes.

He meets Natalie and offers up his services. He’s very tense at first about being around them but he sees the difference between this crew and the last; respect.

Magical Object: The Freedom Earring

When one wears this earring, the can manipulate gravity around them or on them. They can even create a portal to another location by simply whispering the coordinates or the name of the place

The Gin Blossom: Part I

Title: The Gin Blossom

Rating: Explicit

Pairing: Gilly Lopez x Reader

Summary: You thought you had your life all planned out until everything changed. Finding yourself a young widow, you turn an Airstream trailer into a food truck and tour the southwest. You met Riz and Songbird (from @bullet-prooflove's stories) and when they invite you to visit the revitalized town of Santo Padre, you find that maybe home isn't out of reach for you.

Big things were happening in Santo Padre. 

You had heard about the revitalization of the quiet bordertown through the music and cultural festivals that you traveled to throughout the southwest. So it didn’t surprise you when Songbird contacted you about bringing your food and gin truck to her hometown. She was going to be doing a small concert with a couple of local bands and wanted to throw you some business. 

Honestly, you were just happy to see her and Riz again. You had friends on the road but there was something different about them. They were real, warm, and good people. You could see the love they held for each other. Some people that are in love tend to close others out of their world, but they never did with you. Often after musicians would do a set, you would offer them a free meal and gin blossom special cocktail and Songbird was given the same treatment. Riz of course joined her and you got tired of leaning out of the open window to carry on the easy flowing conversation. You did something you never did and invited them into the trailer with you. The three of you spent hours sitting in the galley kitchen of the rehabbed Airstream trailer, eating, drinking, and laughing into the morning hours. 

The third time you ran into them, it had been the anniversary of Dylan’s, your husband’s, death. You were in a bad way mentally, emotionally. Riz hung out with you until Songbird’s set started. He must have said something to her after the concert because as you were packing up the food and cleaning up the small kitchen in the airstream, she came to you, took your hand. 

Come with us tonight. 

So you did. They took you back to the plush hotel room that the concert sponsors paid for their performers. The room was twice the size of your airstream with a full size kitchen, living room, and large bedroom. You brought your favorite gin, a pale purple lavender infused bottle, and the three of you sat around in the living room area drinking and sharing the things that had broken your hearts. Songbird talked about her ex, Riz about growing up in an orphanage. You spoke about Dylan, your handsome, brave, kindhearted Dylan who had lost his battle with depression and PTSD. 

They take you to bed with them that evening. You had never done anything like that before but the shared pain, the hope of finding something that helps glue the pieces back together, created a spiritual bond between the three of you that night. You wake up the next morning between the two of them, a tangle of legs and arms, the scent of cigarette smoke, Songbird’s perfume and Riz’s aftershave surrounding you. 

It was the first time in two years that you hadn’t felt lonely. 

You ran into them a few more times after that night until you heard that Songbird had canceled her tour and returned back to her hometown. It didn’t surprise you. One of things that you two frequently talked about was the concept of home and what it meant. She had found hers with Riz, in Santo Padre. You, you were still looking. So you pull up to the bar on the outskirts of town, park the truck and Airstream trailer in the back like you had been instructed and let out a long sigh. The moment of peace quickly evaporates as Songbird and Riz appear in front of the truck. Songbird is making her smiling way to the driver’s side while Riz hits the hood of the truck a couple times. 

“I’m hungry. When’s the food going to be ready?” 

You get out of the truck, give Songbird a hug and Riz the middle finger. 

“We are so happy you’re here.” Songbird gives Riz a mirthful glare. “Contrary to other’s greetings.” 

And you wonder if this is what it feels like to come home. 

*** 

The local concert is a hit. 

Hundreds of people come out to Joanna and EZ’s bar and they truly have something for everyone. The bands range from folk and acoustic to heavy metal. Although most of the heavy metal musicians are teenagers who have relieved parents in the audience, thankful that the screaming is not happening in their garage anymore. They’ve given you space in the family friendly area so you can get a wide range of foot traffic. The desert days are hot but the nights are still chilly so you choose for the menu this evening a gourmet toasted cheese sandwich that you cut into cubes and put on skewers to go with plastic cups of creamy tomato soup. For those looking for a drink other than on tap beer, you have a special orange blossom honey gin that pairs nicely with the cheese. 

Riz brings members of the MC over to meet you as you pass food and gin out of the open bar window of the food truck. You tell them that the first drink is on you, something you frequently do when you want to be asked back at a venue. You meet Bishop, Taza,  and Hank first. All three are polite and gracious in their welcoming. As the three leaders of the MC, they’re consistently moving through the crowd, making an appearance and their presence known. You have a feeling this is keeping the crowd polite and manageable.

Riz takes to leaning against the side of the airstream and waving at certain people he knows, introducing you to more club members as they wander past. You briefly meet Felipe Reyes, EZ’s father, when he brings you a plate of ribs from the smoker he was manning. You trade him some soup, sandwich, and gin in return. A few minutes later, you hear Riz whistle off towards the left to an area where you can’t see. He knocks on the side of the trailer to get your attention. 

“This is a cool group of people,” he says before stepping out to greet the newcomers. It’s a trio of people that are ushered over to you, a thin man with his hair in braids, and two young women, a petite blonde and a dark haired girl with the same eyes as the man. Riz slaps the shoulder of the man. “This is Coco and his daughter Letty, and this,” he gives the blonde a one-armed hug, “is Stitches our medic. And rumor has it-“ 

“Don’t,” Stitches shakes her head. 

“She and Coco eloped a couple weeks ago.” 

The man chuckles as he blows out a steady stream of cigarette smoke. “How do you find this shit out, man?” 

“I have eyes everywhere.” 

You roll your eyes but pass two glasses of gin down to Coco and Stitches. “Congratulations!” 

Letty also reaches for a glass but Coco slaps her hand away. “Uh huh. Not in public.” 

Letty perks up. “So at home?” 

“Nope,” Stitches answers. “Not there either. And if you think about sneaking something here, I will spend the rest of the evening with my arms around your neck yelling ‘This is my daughter and I looooooove her.’” 

Coco laughs. “And I record it and put it up on TikTok.” 

Letty crosses her arms. “I hate you both right now.” 

Stitches gratefully accepts the grilled cheese and soup. “How’s that different from any other time?” 

You and Riz laugh. “I told you they were fun.” 

“They could have their own sitcom,” you comment. 

There’s a lull after Coco, Stitches, and Letty move off into the crowd. Songbird is getting ready to do her set so Riz steps away to watch it. You can see the stage from your truck and notice she’s wearing that black silk dress that always seems to make Riz and her disappear for twenty minute intervals at venues like this. It makes you chuckle but also wonder if you’re ever going to find the love of your life, someone that looks at you the way Riz stares at his Songbird when she’s on stage. It’s pure adoration and affection and it makes your heart long for someone to feel that deeply about you. 

You thought you had it once upon a time, and you did for a few months. You and Dylan had met when you were both stationed in Fallujah. You were a Marine tank mechanic and he was a gunnery sergeant. It was a match made in heaven. Or so you had thought. It had been great the first few weeks back stateside. You eloped two months of being back home. Your sister, the only living relative you had left, was happy but unsure of the quickness. You had explained to her that meeting someone in a combat situation tells you everything you need to know about someone. 

You wish you had been right. 

The nightmares started soon after you married. Dylan would scream and thrash around, fighting ghosts that had followed him home. In the first week, you had bruises all over your ribcage and down your legs. Dylan slept in the guest room after that but his screams still woke you up. You would cry yourself to sleep in an empty bed, helpless to soothe him. He went to therapy for a short time but found alcohol soothed the demons better than anything else. Once he fell into the bottle, there was no saving him after that. There was almost no saving you either. 

A boisterous laugh pulls you from your memories and you see another MC member approaching the trailer. He’s a large man with an even larger smile. Tattoos decorate his arms, even across his knuckles. There’s the edges of a rose peeking out of the collar of his t-shirt. But it’s his smile and his eyes that you notice the most. His grin reaches all the way to his warm dark eyes. 

“I see the greeter is otherwise engaged,” he says, hands shoved in his kutte pockets. 

“Yeah, once Songbird starts singing, he kind of loses focus on everything else.” 

He extends his hand towards you, a wide, strong grip. “I’m Gilly.”

And you’re a goner.

Vaguess – Thanks No Thanks LP (Under the Gun Records)

Once you know it, and maybe if you didn’t (it’s too late for that now), it's easy to hear this is a one-person project (but not a one-man band), seems to sit fairly nicely next to all those obscure records from decades past that seem to have so much and at the same time so little to do with each other and always make me really happy when I happen upon them, seems maybe a mix of lowkey synth punk, kitchen punk pop and backyard sun tea, Southwest indie rock of the 1980s, Cleveland art rock and NYC underground rock of the 1970s, the jangle and power-pop with hints of hillbilly and folk that enters at various levels depending on which cut you drop the needle on helping make it a continuation of Los Angeles tradition that goes back the 1960s with the wide variety offered from artists like the Byrds (without the Dylan influence) and maybe Skip Spence (if you ventured somewhere in the canyon between his solo work and work with Moby Grape), sounding like it was cooked up in a wooden fruit cellar, a screened-in porch or the plywood loft in a garage.  It sounds pretty wonderful.  – winch

Info from Wikipedia:

Roy's Motel and Café is a motel, café, gas station and auto repair shop on the National Trails Highway, the former U.S. Route 66, in the Mojave Desert town of Amboy in San Bernardino County, California. It has been defunct for years but is now being restored.

Opened in 1938 by Roy Crowl. At the time, Route 66, which was known as the 'Main Street of America,' was the primary east-west highway in the nation, starting in Chicago and ending in the Southwest and Los Angeles.

Inspired the 1946 hit song '(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66'.

Route 66 (aka US 66) was a primary route for those who migrated west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, and it supported the economies of the communities through which it passed. People doing business along the route became prosperous, and they later fought to keep it alive in the face of the growing threat of being bypassed by the more advanced controlled-access highways of the Interstate Highway System in the 1960s and 70s.

The painting is by singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, (don't know date), who, of course, recorded a famous and brilliant track about another highway, 'Highway 61 Revisited'.

Highway 61 [which travels north-south] generally follows the course of the Mississippi River which is the fourth longest river in the world after the Nile, Amazon, and Yangtze.

It is often called the Blues Highway because of its long history in blues music.

I think I can add a few more good channels here!

Food Wishes - Chef John has solid recipes, good explanations, a sprinkling of humor, and a full decade of videos to peruse (various)

Sorted Food - A group of British friends, half professional cooks and half "normals" make recipes, as well as talk about food culture and do silly cooking challenges. More clickbaity than most, but solid content. They will also happily sell you an app for meal planning which I have no review of, personally. (all over the place)

Chef Jean-Pierre - Professional chef shares his recipes with an unmatched enthusiasm. (mostly French)

Kent Rollins - Good ol' country cowboy teaches meals from the back of his chuckwagon (mostly "cowboy" food, hearty and packed with calories)

Andy Cooks - Pro chef from Australia. Not always approachable recipes for home/beginner cooks, but still good info. (Various)

B. Dylan Hollis - Chaotic cooking from old cookbooks. Lots of yelling about lard, dead people, and jello, very humorous (various)

ChefPK - Anime food and often workouts, combined! (pretty much all food from anime)

Rachel cooks with love - intense meemaw energy (mexican, texmex, and US south/southwest food)

Ordinary Sausage - I actually don't recommend this one for trying to learn how to cook. Quite the opposite actually (abominations)

Brian Lagerstrom - Professional Chef with recipes refined and simplified for making at home. Lots of good tips and tricks. (various/american)

Middle Eats - Falafel? Hummus? Kefta Tagine? it's all here and wayyyy more (middle eastern food)

Yeung Man Cooking - The best dang vegan food I've ever seen/made (Chinese/Vegan)

Ethan Chlebowski - Scientifically minded, breaks down recipes into the parts and offers alternatives, very good for when you are ready to step further into cooking and away from just making recipes as written (various)

Chinese Cooking Demystified - exactly what it says on the tin (take a guess)

Vincenzo's Plate - Italian recipes and reactions to food videos (reactions are not my jam but can be pretty educational) (Italian)

Aaron and Claire - Simple Korean recipes for weeknights. They claim 15 min, but they won't be quite that fast if you are not practiced (Korean)

------------

Other interesting channels and things that don't quite fit the theme

A Recipe Reborn - Twitch streamer sharing her journey thru cooking school and beyond, massive Final Fantasy nerd (very into FF14)

JunsKitchen - Cats. Cooking. What else do you want?

Beard Meats Food - Cheerful British competitive eater, travels around the world and does eating challenges at restaurants. Also, very nice beard

Dancing Bacons - street food, corner store food, and strange/interesting restaurants. No talking, only subtitles.

Paolo from Tokyo - Behind the counter interviews of Japanese restaurants and their staff

Japaneats - daily videos about Japanese food with a sense of humor that really hits for me

TheCrewChef - Pro Chef on a Super yacht. Talks about the unique challenges of cooking on a boat for upwards of 25 people.

There's more but that's what I can think of right now

And I will echo the sentiment of Weissman. Good recipes but arrogant and rude. Stopped watching for good after he complained about a fast food working not smiling when he ordered.

i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it''s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i'm not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i'm talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it's literally not even that difficult and it matters so much

10/13/24.

There's only one song currently up on Charlie Ivan Band's debut LP "Where The Dogs Go To Die", and it's one I've listened to over and over. It reminds me of the beauty of Able Tasmans combined with the songwriting of Michael Beach. It's just stunning.

Go ahead and listen to the EP from 2022 because two of those songs have been rerecorded for this release. They both employ the haunting piano from "I'll Take You Down" (the two songs are "Southwest Wind" and "Raining Song").

While the Bandcamp page states that the Charlie Ivan Band are based in Melbourne, I think they also spend time in Alice Springs, Northern Territory. If this is true, this might be the first time I've listened to an Australian band from the midsection of the country. It also might give us a clue to the source of the haunting but beautiful music.

This looks to be self-released. It's produced by Dylan Young (Way Dynamic) and mastered by Snowy.

Krn, Triglav National Park - Friday 22nd September

We nudged on a bit up the valley to Radstadt and the wide Enns river valley that gives the area such high quality dairy farming. There was rain coming today so I was keen to get out before midday, when it was forecast to set in. It was the sort of place that a few weeks ago would have been busy with tourists, but today, on a damp and cloudy morning it was a delight.

The driving was much more interesting now, traversing the Alps with the assistance of the Tauern Road Tunnel. At Villach it was a departure from the motorways that I have, in effect, been on since Newcastle. There’s 10 kilometres of the northeast corner of Italy then up over the Predil Pass once in Slovenia. By now the rain had set in, heavy and thundery. Though it made for slower going on the roads it kept a lot of traffic off them.

I was in Slovenia in early Spring last year, so had intentionally come a different way. I had been in the Triglav National Park in the east, and from Kranjska Gora south over the spectacular Vršič Pass.

My route crossed with that at Kobarid. A year ago I went west into Italy, today I would my way up the hill to Krn, in the southwest of the National Park. It was challenging driving on a very steep road with hairpins, and now in torrential rain with thunder and lightning. In Kobarid and around the valley there was some flash flooding and roads closed.

I just about managed it, and arrived at the campsite, which is in the shadow of Krn mountain, at 2244 metres, one of the most imposing mountains in the massif. Not that it was visible today..

Krn is a tiny little Slovenian village, up at 970 metres asl, and a perfect base for hiking in the Park. I will be here for a few days.

There was one other van at the site. With most of the fields under water I had lunch before proceeding. A Belgian guy arrived a little later in a Sprinter self-build and we surveyed the fields together. The higher part was inaccessible, but we found excellent places a little lower down.

The rain is in for the day, extremely heavy with thunder, but the occasional break, just enough to get some exercise with Roja before settling in for the rugby.

It’s Chile - England tomorrow, a special day for me with so many old boys involved. Actually Chile have a few injury concerns and have rested a few players who would normally start. 9 of my old boys started against Samoa, and one was on the bench. Tomorrow, 4 will start, and 4 on the bench. In the week, the captain, Martin Sigren, who I am in touch with quite a bit, told the Times “I said to England’s players I am coming for them”, some of the article is below, as it’s paywalled for most I think.. I just hope they put up a good show..

Several podcasts got me through those hours of driving. The one I want to shout about though is Bob Dylan Album by Album, and specifically season 1, the six episodes on Blood on the Tracks. It is excellent.

I also really enjoyed Ade Edmondson on Desert Island Discs this morning, a show that usually disappoints. But today, unlike other episodes, the guest did a lot of talking..
