If Vendée Live counts, I’m either an IMOCA skipper or commentator, so that’s pretty cool either way.

Tagebuch (11): Die „Fürth“ in den Roaring Forties

Über Segelführung, Wellenöl und einen Schiffsrat Aus aktuellem Anlass wiederhole ich heute den Blogartikel vom 14. März 2020. Die Segler der Vendée Globe befinden sich aktuell (Anfang Dezember 2024) im südlichen Indischen Ozean auf ihrem Weg  zwischen dem Kap der Guten Hoffnung (Südafrika) und Kap Leeuwin (Westaustralien). Das Tagebuch des Frachtdampfers „Fürth“ vom Juni 1914 gibt einen guten…

Affaire Clarisse Clémer : une vague de discriminations qui pourrait changer l’histoire du sport féminin

La place des femmes dans la compétition est un sujet délicat. Le changement du règlement du Vendée Globe qui pénalise la navigatrice Clarisse Crémer en raison de sa maternité montre combien le sport et ses sponsors restent conservateurs en matière d’égalité.

Mercredi

Ce matin, goélands et mouettes rieuses n'hésitaient pas à tremper leurs pattes frêles dans la Garonne. Demain, mes amours seront sur l'île de Hokkaido (ci-dessus, souvenir de Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill, qui domine la ville de Sapporo). Les colis de noël sont arrivés à temps à Kyôto ; reconnaissant, je salue les avions qui étirent leurs traînées de condensation dans l'azur glacé du ciel. J'élargis virtuellement mon horizon en me laissant piéger par Top of the lake, série anglo-australo-néo-zélandaise de Jane Campion, en faisant défiler Tumblr, ou en suivant sur mon écran les voiliers du Vendée Globe Challenge dont les premiers filent déjà vers le cap Horn, ou encore en contactant des pays lointains sur les ondes courtes (j'ai passé le cap des 1500 contacts depuis le début de l'année). Voilà...

HOLY FRICK, BORIS! He overcomes his fear of heights to go up the mast and fix the sail problem, and then before he can even eat anything besides energy gel, the boat gets STRUCK BY LIGHTNING and loses several major electronic systems!

Welcome Home × Soul Eater AU ramble

I had announced it, I shall now share it !

Behold, WH SE AU

Context :

In the world of Soul Eater, there are people who can transform into weapons (called demonic weapons), a genetic trait coming from some witch experimenting on humans centuries before. To avoid having those "weapons" go out of control, Shinigami, a god of death, created a school called Shibusen, where those weapons could learn how to control their powers. There are also people who come to this school to partner with the weapons and wield them, those are called meisters.

In this AU, our colorful cast of Welcome Home characters are students at this school in their last few years of studies (18-23 years old) and decided to create a race to the top before their graduation. The goal ? Get their weapon partner to the "death scythe" level by getting as much evil souls as they can. Who will win ? Who knows 👀

Let's present our six duos !

Julie Joyful and Frank Frankly (butterfly net)

Barnaby b. Beagle and Wally Darling (big apple hammer)

Howdy Pillar and Poppy Partridge (scythe)

Sally Starlet and Lucero Starlley (guitar axe)

Suave Moonwatcher and Eddie Dear (shield, later on a giant pair of scissor)

Nyxie Moonwatcher and Calypso O Octave (musical saw/violin)

And of course we can't forget out dear silliest, Home as Shinigami !!

Ramble :

Okay so this AU is actually over a year old, I had old designs and dynamics I wasn't 100% happy with because this AU was co created

Idk how the other creator is doing, I haven't talked to them in a loooong while, so I decided to rebrand the AU a little

Now, I'll explain my choices and lore

For one, I believe in keeping the canon personalities. So, when deciding who's a weapon and who is a meister, I tried to go along how the characters would act and what alligns with their silly selves. The characters that ended up as weapons needed to be weapons, otherwise it doesn't fit their personality to come to Shibusen to become a meister (reminder, meister can choose to go to Shibusen, weapons are kinda obligated to)

For the clothing, I just had fun with the "school uniform" concept as given in the Soul Eater and Soul Eater Not manga series.

And for the pairing, I included a lot of ocs, ik, but I wanted the pairs to truly match in energy and personality, and also I love my and Koko's oc and it's my AU I do what I want !

Joking side, here are some more funfact on how they ended up there

Julie followed in her siblings footsteps

Barnaby came to partner with Wally, the two are childhood best friends

Sally and Howdy came for fame and opportunities that come with being a meister

Nyxie and Suave where raised in Shibusen for lore reasons 👀

Julie and Wally are dating !

Frank and Eddie are a bit more on and off, because Eddie is an anxious mess and Frank doesn't like competion

But at the same time, the shipping in this AU is "yes" because : Julie and Wally are a thing, but Julie is very close to Frank, who is on and off with Eddie, and Eddie is quite close to Howdy, and Sally likes to flirt with Eddie and Poppy, but Lucero has a crush on Sally, who might have a lil crush on Julie, but Nyxie has a crush on Lucero, and Barnaby and Wally are reaaallly close

Good luck, may the ships all sail at once like it's the Vendée Globe :D

Other funfacts

Nyxie and Suave are actually weapons too, Nyxie is a frying pan (because what else would she be) and Suave is undetermined. Both are very unstable and thus can't really be weapons full time, hence why they meister others

Everyone has part time jobs !

Nyxie and Suave work at a bar, Eddie works at the post office, Sally works at a theater, Lucero works with Caly at a music shop, Frank works at a library, Julie in a hairdresser salon, Poppy and Howdy work at a little retail shop, Wally and Barnaby work in a clothing store.

They all live in the same appartement complex, all neighbors and they visit eachother all the time ! Each pair live together too, platonically.

I think that's about all I can say

This AU is a lil special to me because I love Soul Eater and the lore and ik there is probably already some other SE Wh aus but I wanted to get this out anyway and see if people enjoy my silly rambling

I posted it on tiktok already and people ate this up lol, I'm kinda hoping they would too here as well ? We'll see.
