A fundamental aspect of my pirate Nolan Stormgate AU is that he is convinced he has utterly no friends. That he is not being supported when accusations are slung his way because no one liked him anyways. That he is somehow just not a good person and the ostracization is at least somewhat justified, even on false charges.

What he doesn't consider is that he's literally a teenager. All teenagers are assholes. Sure, he's especially standoffish, but still. He doesn't know that there is a handful of wizards in Ravenwood that do consider him a friend.

No one's ever told him they were friends, so how could he know? He needs that kind of clarity in relationships, or he will just assume someone is annoying and harassing him, hanging around waiting for him to snap back at them and tell them to go away. He needs them to say they want to be here, that they care about him. No one's ever done that, not really. There are those who he tolerates the presence of, who don't set him on edge, but that's just acquaintances, right?

So when Nolan leaves Wizard City, he assumes there will be no one missing him. His parents may be mad, he did steal some of their things on his way out, after they already disowned him. His last conversation with Professor Cyrus had been abrupt and hurtful, being told to leave him be. Cyrus had been in mourning and Nolan doesn't know how one is supposed to act around someone grieving.

Nolan doesn't think about Duncan. About Marlon or Penny or Mindy or Marla. People who know him, who think of him as a constant. Who walked with him to meals and asked about his studies. Who weren't competition in his school of magic, who didn't poke at him trying to anger him.

How at first when no one would speak Nolan's name after he disappeared, they thought him dead. They thought he may have been attacked by the invading monsters in the city's streets. They imagined him crushed beneath a cyclopes' hammer, mauled by a ghoul.

And to learn he just left? All alone, without a goodbye, without a note?

It hurt. But they had things to do. An Academy to set to rights. A rogue professor to track down so they could clear Nolan's name.

Then they could find him and hug some sense into him. Maybe then he'll understand that you don't just up and leave. That next time, he's taking them all with him.

And a pirate’s what I need.

—Charming, Once Upon a Time, “Murder Most Foul”

The idea of Nolan Stormgate being a pirate, specifically a musketeer, is very funny to me. This boy has a shitty personality and is horrible at spellcasting, but he can use a glock.

Shout-out to Marcus, one of my many ocs with horrible tastes in men 👍

Quick cut just to lore-dump a bit (skip this if ya want).

Marcus got to Ravenwood, calamity happened, Blueflower ran off to solve it. Marcus met Nolan while exploring Cyclops Lane and immediately clocked him as a pirate (cuz his bestie Griffin was a pirate) but said nothing.

Marcus stuck around and managed to befriend Nolan after a *lot* of struggle, but they got super close. Nolan was cocky and rarely did any actual work, but Marcus was willing to help him improve one step at a time, which worked to make them all the more connected. Nolan associated his forward progress with Marcus, and therefore Marcus was a valuable pawn.

Then Marcus suddenly wasn't a pawn, and in the most neurodivergent way possible, Nolan confessed a crush to Marcus. Marcus (who'd had a crush 0.2 seconds into hearing Nolan be obnoxious) returned the sentiment, and in my headcanon lil universe they're a pair.

Marcus is a beloved little pastel goth, and Nolan is still the most hated student on campus, but they're working on their shortcomings together.

I'm late but happy Film Score Day (April 3rd)!!!

Just a few of my favorite film scores include Star Wars, pretty much any Christopher Nolan movie score but especially Interstellar, Inception and Tenet, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and of course my all time favorite soundtrack, TRON: Legacy.

And of course I have to honor the amazing composers behind these amazing albums as well. The absolute legend, the Maestro himself, John Williams. And perhaps the second best to do it, Hans Zimmer, who along with Ludwig Göransson help create my favorite parts of Nolan films. And it's not a movie but Göransson's soundtrack for The Mandalorian is phenomenal. On the subject of Star Wars shows I have to mention Nicholas Britell and Kevin Kiner. The Kiners are the true successors to John Williams' Star Wars legacy. And of course Daft Punk and Joseph Trapanese created the soundscape that is Tron, and Trapanese did it again with M83 on Oblivion. I could go on but my last two favorite film composers would be Klaus Badelt and Nathan Furst. Badelt of course did the first Pirates of the Caribbean (though Zimmer often gets credit for all of those films) and he also did one of my personal favorite movies, ExtremeDays. And Nathan Furst just went way too hard for the third BIONICLE direct to DVD movie. I mean, that Web of Shadows soundtrack is solid!

Here's a playlist of a lot of my favorite soundtracks, mostly in a similar vibe so not every Williams score is in there:

OKAY. Pirate Nolan Stormgate moments.

What the hell is his flag. I'm personally thinking his parents had two different more generic flags, and he definitely has to make his own because he's a dramatic Bitch and we love that for him!!!

SO.

Colors??? Gut Instinct is Myth Gold And Cobalt, however, while that would indeed be cool, the reason (in my AU) that he's even a Pirate In The First Place is to abandon magic & wizardly shit. So he never even uses Myth Magic, and cannot continue studying it seriously and would feel like using the colors of his old school is more like he's falsely representing the magic he abandoned rather than keeping a reminder of his past/origins.

Gold however, should stay.

While I'm tempted for it to be the main color and not the trim, and know that our boy Nolan is wearing Banana Yellow in canon. I can't do that in my brain aesthetically. Have Mercy.

So I'm thinking gold trim, and like, brown? maybe? as like a leather & gold type thing? or black? something neutral that isn't going to clash or stand out Too Much. While the boy's dramatic, he's not exactly Hot Pink Dramatic like my OC Alexander.

AND HIS FLAG SYMBOL???

I was considering several things. First, the Myth Eye/symbol. Quickly dismissed for above reason. Then, I looked through the images on google for p101 flag symbols. I'm considering the ram, or the elk/stag, or potentially a tree, not like the design in p101, but more looking like Bartleby or Ivan in shape w/ no face. BUT considering the color scheme, a tree wouldn't look good.

A brown ram or deer with gilded horns might kick ass though. A Bird might fit better though, like an eagle or hawk, considering he's a musketeer.

I'm just rambling all my thoughts here, I'd like some of your thoughts though! What Colors would YOU pick for Nolan? What Symbol? How would his thoughts on those colors/symbol change over time after adjusting to p101 world(s), how would he think on those if your pirate!nolan is from p101 and goes to ravenwood after?

The running gag with my interpretation of Pirate!Nolan Stormgate is he is very talented. He has a lot of unique skills he's developed and perfected from being raised on a pirate ship (athleticism, cooking, hand-to-hand fighting, mechanics, navigation, sailing). However, he does not want to be skilled in them. He wants to max out magic.

The problem is he struggles with magic. He was born into a different magic system. He was taught in a hands-on learning environment while wizards have a more traditional classroom setting. He was raised in a different morality system. Every part of that causes him to struggle, but he can't ask for help because he burnt bridges early due to massive cultural differences and the one adult in his life he thinks he can count on is a dickwad stuck in grief.

In summary, Nolan Stormgate was born to be a pirate, but he desperately wants to be a wizard.

hey I have a request for a Killian jones x female reader where the female reader is Emma’s twin sister (looks more like snow) and has a 3 year old daughter from a past toxic relationship, if you can’t do it that’s fine either way thank you :)

Killian jones x Emma’s twin sister

Killian jones x Fem!Reader

A/n: I did not forget about this request, Sorry it took me a few days to do! Hope you enjoy<3

—————————————————————————

Y/n was the daughter of David Nolan and Mary Margaret. She also is the twin sister of the savior Emma Swan. She grew up being bounced between foster homes in New Orleans. When she was 23 she had gotten into a really toxic relationship, at 25 she got pregnant and had a daughter.

She had been stuck in the toxic relationship until she was 28, She had packed up her and some of her daughters things and left in the middle of the night.

She had silky long black hair that was curly, brown eyes and a round face with dimples. She almost looked like a clone of Mary Margaret. Her daughter Edith had long dark brunette hair with emerald eyes.

Killian had met y/n and her daughter Edith one day when she had went to visit her sister and parents for one of the first times.

Thursday June 25th, 12:51pm.

Y/n was sitting on the top deck of the jolly roger with Edith, They were eating some sandwiches from granny’s. They were waiting on Killian to finish cleaning his ship.

Edith was sitting on the edge of the ship walls looking out on the water, Y/n kept her view on her daughter and occasionally if he was in view, glancing at killian. Y/n finishes her sandwich and crumbles up the wrapper putting it into a bag.

Y/n looks around trying to see killian but doesn’t, “can i have your trash princess?” She holds the bag out so Edith can put her trash in it, “and I need you to be on the deck instead of railing so I can go run this up to the dumpster” Edith shakes her head as she puts her trash into the bag.

“I can’t leave you on the railing of the boat- ship? You could fall in the water” “Mermaid” edith looks over the edge. “It doesn’t work that way” She holds Edith back so she doesn’t fall. “I’ll watch her, Don’t worry about it love” Killian came up behind her, startling her. “Oh!- it’s fine- you- You don’t gotta worry about it, Weren’t you cleaning?” she nervously smiled, still not used to someone offering to help her.

“I’m done cleaning, Honestly love we could just head back to your loft if you wanted-“ “i wanna stay” the little one interrupted. Y/n sighed before nodding “i’ll be right back then” she said as she walked down and off the jolly roger.

“Alright then love” Killian smirks and she walks away. He turns towards Edith and leans against the railing of the ship and holds himself up with his elbows. “So what do you like kiddo?” He asked curiously. Edith answered back “Princess, Cartoons, Barbie-“ “I'm gonna have to cut you off there my lady, I have no idea what this ‘barbie’ is, Cartoons too?” Killian admitted. Edith looks at Killian with a confused look, “you don’t know barbie?”. Killian shook his head “what is it?”

“Barbie is movies, some of my favorites” She smiles. “You’ll have to show me one next time I’m over then” Killian pats her head with his hand.

Edith nods and giggles “we can watch a mermaid one” “oh? There’s mermaids?” Killian raises an eyebrow. “yes!! Yes!!” she nods and smiles.

Saturday June 27th, 8:00pm

Y/n was laying in the living room with Killian and Edith. Edith was sitting in front of her mother and the pirate watching Barbie: In a Mermaid Tale 2. Killian was laying on the couch with y/n laying on his chest.

Killian had his focus on the tv, only sometimes asking questions about ‘Barbie’, and either getting an answer from the little brunette in front of him or the pale skinned woman in his arms.

After the movie was over both Y/n and Edith were asleep, Killian carefully slips himself out from under Y/n and picks her up. He carries her to her bedroom and lays her down before going out to the living room again and turning everything off. He picks up little Edith and carries her to her room and lays her down, tucking her in, “Goodnight Kiddo.” He muttered as he walked out of the room going into Y/n.
