You know what, Nationality time :
1. Captain Barnacles 🇷🇺 -
I know that Barnacles, in the show at least, should live in the arctic circle around Canada.
And it’s true for this AU. Captain Barnacles and Bianca are half Natives and Russians. This inspiration came from “Dangerous Ways to School” where the setting was in a Russian village called Oymyakon and also a Native tribe that live near the arctic circle .
It would be interesting representation, since they live in the Arctic Circle and there are plenty of cultures there. But I also have a soft spot for Russians so… 🤫
I didn’t research a whole lot, but they could be either Inuit or Yupik (Eskimo?). There’s a difference between the two when it comes to their geography, but I’ll decide it later in the future when I have enough evidence for Barnacles’ and Bianca’s nationality.!
The blue on his eyes is face paint.
He knows Russian very well.
I also like to think they went to a missionary English school to learn the fundamentals. Which is where they got their British accents.
2. Kwazii 🇮🇹 -
I love myself a screaming pirate-enthusiast Italian!
Kwazii’s parents were all dead, but thankfully he already adapted to his Italian heritage.
His heritage comes from Italy and Italy is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, and ancient pirates lived along the Mediterranean Sea, FIGHT ME.
There aren’t much Italian pirates in “Ancient times”, but that didn’t mean that there weren’t none of them. They were overlooked but found in Spanish navies.
Too much information, not in the mood for researching, keep an eye out for future updates.
Kwazii knows a lot of Italian slang and phrases that it often slips.
European descent.

every time i interact with the silmarillion i get weirdly excited about the fact that the authorial intent is that it's a translation of historical accounts. it's a tertiary source! none of it is first hand. it makes it so much more interesting. was the legendarium a mannish tradition? what parts of these were written by pengolodh? by rumil? what loremaster has recorded this? would there be bias in the accounting? can i trust what i'm reading, from this viewpoint, this many years after it would have been written?
what has been mythologised, what has been sanitised, what is third-hand written on rumour? it's such an interesting thing to consider.

Bill and Fiddleford would lowkey fit into the "we hate each other and want the same person but fell in love with each other instead" trope so much if Bill wasn't out to traumatize everyone.
They would hate each other, competing with each other on who can romance Ford better while Ford is just like "my research :)" and is completely oblivious.
Bill: Get WRECKED you third wheel HILLBILLY, I spelled sixer's name out with RATS on his BIRTHDAY and he LOVED IT.
Fiddleford: fuck you one eyed geometry freak, I made Ford six fingered mittens for Christmas and gave him a snowglobe and he LOVED THAT MORE.
Bill: NO he DIDN'T
Fiddleford: YES HE DID
*Angry hate makeout*
*cliche spending too much time around each other cos Ford is always out for research or in the basement and end up falling in lurve*

What's up with some people in the aot fandom and thier hatred for Hange? Ya'll good? Clearly some people completely missed the point of how good thier character is. I wanted to talk to someone about them and this fucking person goes "not even levi likes her why should I? She stinks in canon too" Never blocked someone faster. Some of you don't have friends and it shows in how you think that Levi hates Hange. They singlehandedly carried the survey corps in many things.
