"Ship In A Bottle"

I found this song recently: "Ship In A Bottle" by Fin Argus, and I couldn't stop thinking about Odysseus and Polites.

Imagine instead of seeing Penelope during "Suffering", Odysseus sees Polites drowning in the waters below. He reacts out of instinct and tries to jump in, disregarding the fact that he knows that Polites has been dead a long time and that it's all a siren allusion to lure him to his death. Eurylochus has to grab Odysseus before he can throw himself over the railing to save his best friend.

In the song would be from Siren Polites point-of-view and he would be trying to guilt trip Odysseus into jumping in to save him.

"Oh, captain, let's make a deal where we both say the things that we both really feel," he'd whisper. "I feel scared and I'm starting to sink, and I'll only sink deeper and deeper I think."

The siren will fake drown to really push Odysseus over the edge, but Odysseus is so grief-stricken that he can't really register that Polites is alternating between swimming and drowning.

If the image of Polites isn't enough to drive Odysseus insane, the repetition of "Captain" will.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk, I need someone to make an animation of this.

ship in a bottle

Excuse the shitty 3am first draft, but I wrote another fucked-up nightmare for Rook... (continued under the cut. tw for death/drowning/corpses)

The water is rising even faster now, and within seconds the deck is awash with sea water.  It reaches his ankles, then his knees. He clings desperately to the broken wheel, but it will not save him. Nothing will save him. As the water reaches his neck he sucks in a breath. The water closes over his head. As it continues to rise, he begins to swim, searching for whatever is trapping him. A few strong strokes, and his outstretched hand meets something smooth. Glass.  He swims forwards, following the curve of the glass, searching for a way out. It slopes downwards, and he dives, following it into a narrow tunnel. At the end is a cork. There’s an indentation in it, as if something heavy has slammed against it. He pushes against it with all his might. His shoulder fits perfectly into the groove, but it will not budge. Exhausted he pauses, floating in the water. He should have needed to breathe by now. Should have drowned by now. But he hasn’t. The thought gives him hope. There must be a way out. Another thought crosses his mind. The rain alone was not enough to fill the bottle at this speed. There must be another opening. With renewed desperation, he swims back down the neck of the bottle and dives deeper, towards the bottom.  A dark shadow passes through the corner of his vision. He looks and sees the Tide Breaker sinking, having finally succumbed to the waves. As it falls past him, fading from his vision, he swims after it.

After several minutes of swimming, he begins to see shapes below him, coming closer. Dark silhouettes rise out of the murky water. As he grows closer, a sinking feeling sets into his stomach. The shapes are not natural rocks or stony ruins. They are wrecks, so densely packed that he can’t see the sand beneath them. Hundreds upon hundreds of ships lie at the bottom of the bottle, stretching as far as he can see in every direction.   No. Not hundreds of ships. One ship. Piled up on the ocean floor are countless copies of the Tide Breaker, in various states of disrepair. Some remain almost completely intact, while others have been ripped apart by the waves. Some are covered in seaweed, swaying gently in the waves. Others look recent, hulls clean and firm. For the first time since the water closed over his head, Rook’s lungs begin to strain. His heart is pounding in his chest. He kicks harder, swimming not upwards, but downwards, closer to the wrecks. Something white catches his attention, and he swims towards it. At first it looks like some kind of large shell, balanced on the broken wheel of one of the wrecks. But as he gets closer, its grisly shape reveals itself. A skull, bleached white and picked clean of flesh, is perched jauntily on the helm. Its naked grin seems to be taunting him. More white catches his eyes and he sees bones scattered across the deck.  Movement draws his attention from a nearby wreck, and he glances over. His vision is going dark at the edges from lack of air, and it takes him several seconds to process what he’s seeing. Tangled in the rigging of a nearby wreck is a corpse. His corpse. It twists slowly in the current, spinning around to face him. The eyes are gone and the flesh on his face has begun to fall off. Bite marks are visible where some deep-sea creature has been feeding from him. A scream is building in his throat, his lungs are sending shooting warnings through his body. He needs air. Against his will, his mouth opens, and water rushes in, salty and cold. As his vision fades, the last thing he sees is his own rotting corpse, drifting in the water. It seems to be laughing at him.

ahhh I hate framing things. Why is it so harddd. I hate this version but I have no idea what else to do. (Suggestions are welcome, though no guarantee I'll land on any of them. The only rule is that since this is a banner for a campaign chapter called "ship in a bottle" you have to be able to tell the ship is in the bottle. So exterior of the bottle shots.)

This is supposed to be a chapter banner, so I am gonna put text over at least one version of it, kind of like I did with the cropped Sea Snake render.

[bluehairandpronouns42069]

I made another radchaai pop song translation

( @radchaaipopsongs )

The entirety of your experiences can be easily placed

In a glass container that you can display.

Deconstruct your mind piece by piece, to place inside,

Then reconstruct it with small, sharp implements.

The entirety of what is just for you to hold is a boat

With water like lapis hitting it with violence.

And no object will interfere with your pleasant thinking any longer

While you are surrounded by glass on all sides.

Sailing on a boat in a container,

Weighting the whole of your thoughts on the container’s floor,

Pulling ropes and looking up

To see what breaks the center of your sails–

You departed alone, with no clients,

And none aboard who may assist.

This is a fight to succeed in alone,

This is your ship and you are the captain.

Oh Captain, let’s come to an accord

Where we might plainly speak our sentiments.

I am afraid, and beginning to descend,

And my descent only increases with the increase of my thoughts.

Oh Captain, Oh Captain, accord. Oh Captain, accord. Oh Captain, accord.

There is irritated skin beneath your eyes

From weeping into the stars.

Water of an ocean is covering the bottom of your face,

You feel glass beginning to break.

Sailing on a boat in a container

With water leaving through cracks in the base,

Displaying the flags of ships that are aged

In their destruction, but to defend this choice

You departed alone, with no clients,

And none aboard who may assist.

This is a fight to succeed in alone,

This is your ship and you are the captain.

Oh Captain, let’s come to an accord

Where we might plainly speak our sentiments.

I am afraid, and beginning to descend,

And my descent only increases with the increase of my thoughts.

Oh Captain, you must make a choice

Before the ocean covers your face and you have no ability

For you’re unstoppering the container, you become confused by your mind

And depart from everything that kept you steady

Oh Captain, Oh Captain, accord. Oh Captain, accord. Oh Captain, accord.

Spotify Tag Game

“Put your music library on shuffle, then list the first five songs that come up in a poll to let people vote for which one they like the most! Then tag Tumblr friends to keep the game going!"

Thanks to @pencilofawesomeness for the tag! Liked the idea of using a playlist for this like Pencil did, but similarly, it's hard to pick just one since they go in different directions, sooo... I thought it'd be fun to shuffle through my Spotify Top 100 from last year! Ended up with kind of a nice variety, I think? But alas, sadly, no OST representation though. Sixth choice would have been "Wildfire" from HSR, oh what could have been... (jk I like all of these, obviously XD)

I don't know which I pick as my own favorite, though. Huh. Feels a little apples to oranges but oh well! Anyways, ummmm....to tag who Pencil has not already tagged, @insertsomthinawesome, @resident-normal-person, @wintersphoenix, if y'all like? No pressure of course!

A mini pencil sketched comic about one of my Fallen London characters, Gracie, during the Nemesis ambition! She's a bit zee monster-y due to Reasons but more importantly, she's Angry! Also The comic is based off of (and contains lyrics from) the song Ship in a Bottle by Fin Argus.

I very rarely make comics but was suddenly struck by artistic muse and I'm very proud of how it turned out!

[trenchcrows]

C!wilbur used to cry himself to sleep every night do you ever think about that?

I'm always thinking about it

[finnslay]

These are sister songs. Can't convince me otherwise.
