sideblog intro

The Admiral's Daughter is a novel I'm writing and in the process of editing. It can best be described as a fictional period drama with fantasy elements and pirates. If that sounds awesome to you, feel free to follow along for updates, ramblings, snippets, and whatever else I happen to create for this work along the way! [a sideblog of @kazoosandfannypacks]

story summary: When Maristella Arrington, the admiral's daughter, meets a handsome young lieutenant named Adrian, he convinces her to join the navy. She enlists, alongside her best friend, Verity. A few days before her graduation from the naval academy, she receives word that Adrian's ship, while engaged in battle with a pirate vessel, was sunk, and he perished along with it. Maristella then sets out to get her revenge on the pirates who sent Adrian to his watery grave, which proves difficult when she finds that the pirates haven't killed him— they've recruited him, and she must join forces with them as well in order to save Verity's life.

character intros under the cut!

Maristella Arrington: Maristella is the eldest daughter of Admiral Charles Arrington. She loves nothing more than spending a few short months of the year at sea with her father, and is fascinated by life at sea and naval battles. She is confident and loyal, which makes her a strong leader to those around her.

Verity Sterling: Verity has been inseparable best friends with Maristella since they were kids. She's skilled in swordplay as well as giving supportive advice, and she would do anything for those close to her.

Adrian Alyward: Adrian joined the navy with his sister, Isabella, and they quickly rose through the ranks after their bravery in saving the Admiral's life at the Skirmish at Bedisa Sea. Upon meeting Maristella at the Admiral's Ball, he's immediately smitten with her, but their blossoming potential of a relationship grows complicated when he joins forces with the treacherous pirates that frequent her seas.

Isabella Alyward: {name subject to change.} After joining the navy so she and her younger brother, Adrian, can make a name for themselves, Isabella soon becomes captain of The Noble Guardian. When they have an unfortunate run in with a nasty lot of pirates, her fate is changed for the worse, and she must look to the brother she's always sought to protect to come through and save her from an unpleasant demise.

Admiral Charles Arrington: Admiral Arrington is in charge of most of the navy, and captains his flagship The Star of the Sea, but most his favorite role is that of dedicated husband, and of father of six. Though he'd never claim to have favorites, his soldiers and family alike know he has a soft spot for his eldest daughter, Maristella. Despite his fatherly concern for her safety when she joins the navy, he's excited for the opportunity it provides to spend time with her.

Victor Durand III: Victor has been a rival of Maristella's ever since she was eight and he was five and her dad got promoted to Admiral while his was still a commodore. He enlists in the navy just shortly before Maristella does, and while both of them would deny it, they grow to tolerate and even, on rare occasions, appreciate each other.

Conroy Lewin: Conroy's father, Professor Lewin, is the professor of general studies at the naval academy. He quickly becomes friends with Maristella and Verity, as someone who understands what it's like to grow up in a navy family. He enjoys studying and sharing information, and joins the navy around the same time as Maristella.

Lenna Arrington: Lenna is Admiral Arrington's wife, and she runs a tight ship at home while her family is away. While she's always happy to support her children and their dreams, a part of her still wishes her eldest daughter, Maristella, had chosen to settle down and get married instead of pursue a life of high-seas adventure.

Cordelia Arrington: Cordelia is eight years younger than Maristella, and though she's the closest in age to Maristella, they share little in the way of hopes and dreams, and Cordelia can't wait until she's old enough to attend some fancy balls and tea parties of her own.

Dylon Arrington: Dylon is the oldest boy among the Arrington children. There's a year in between him and his siblings on either side, and Maristella and her friend Verity often train him in swordplay, strategy, and, much to his chagrin, ballroom dancing. Of all his siblings, he's the one who looks the most like their father.

"Charlie" Arrington: Charlie is Lil's twin brother, named after their father. At eleven years old, he shows quite promise with his writing and creative thinking, but he often struggles with controlling his temper.

"Lil" Arrington: Lil is Charlie's twin sister, named after their mother. She loves reading and studying and is quite level headed for a child, at least, until you ask which of them is the older twin. She'll swear up and down that it's her, and though Charlie couldn't care less about which of them is older, he enjoys bringing up the fact that it's actually him.

Randolf: Randolf is the youngest of the kids, and his favorite thing in the world is when his dad tells stories and he gets to help act them out.

The custom of Windblade’s gamer girlfriend in Shattered Glass who joins her in becoming a Decepticon, Strongarm, is done! Really enjoyed painting her and glad to have her. We seem to have a bunch of one of a kind so far gal customs lmao, others include IDW1 and IDW2 Arcee, pre-reformat Arcee, Shutter, Aileron from Topspin, weaponizer Greenlight, and Sterling.

ID 1 of 4: An SG Strongarm repaint of Warrior Class Strongarm standing on a windowsill diagonally towards the camera with her right arm raised firing her blaster. She is painted in white, orange, and dark-bluish gray, and her face and hands are pink, her frame is bulky, mostly boxy and sloped, with door wings, and has a kabuto-like helm. End ID.

Adorable... we love this pairing and want it in canon again with gamer gal stuff, SG or no.

ID 2 of 4: previously mentioned SG Strongarm custom on a windowsill hugging and sharing a gaze with Titans Return Windblade, who is curvier, taller, and winged, mostly red and black with some blue trim. End ID.

Reread: Spotlight: Arcee

I had somehow never been struck by the desire to read this comic, mostly based on its sterling reputation. Even if I was to leave out the way it handles female characters and gender in general, I think this would be a strong contender for Furman’s worst work in the IDW1 continuity so far.

To address the pink elephant in the room, Arcee is portrayed as a menace to everyone around her, contrasted against the (presumably intended to seem) more reasonable Autobots, like Ultra Magnus. She’s clearly motivated, but otherwise this seems like it’s going to be difficult characterisation for later writers, especially considering Furman implies that the only time Arcee is happy is when she is suspended as a spark in a jar. I also want to note that she spends most of her own Spotlight unconscious or in said jar. The fact that the Autobots bring her out like a weapon does establish her as a threat, but combined with the rest of the book, I’m tempted to say it still comes across as a very unsympathetic approach to the character.

“Haven’t you ever wondered why it’s ‘she’ and ‘her’ with me? It’s because you unconsciously sense a difference’. Furman seems to imply that Arcee being a girl causes some sort of… field or cue that somehow generates feminine pronouns from what, according to his own narrative, has been an entirely masculine-pronoun-using species up until this point. As if having a ‘she’ pronoun is a reflex action and not a function of language and culture? Anyway, it’s very strange and poorly integrated, but that’s quite possibly on purpose given the author’s Views. Other gems include “Jhiaxus arbitrarily decided to introduce gender into our species” because Furman clearly believed really hard in te whole male-as-default thing, so doesn’t register male/masculine as gendered. Also, love the idea of it being done ‘arbitrarily’ here, so it’s not even part of a scheme. Was he drunk? Who knows.

There’s plenty of other issues to look at, I’m sure, from the implications about Arcee’s gender identity that would later be retconned, to the ambiguity of what Jhiaxus is even supposed to have done, to how this presumably effected the rest of the continuity and made it more difficult to introduce other female characters. However, I think a lot is summed up by the last pages of the book.

The book closes as Arcee sets off on her quest and Fort Max stands by, looking at her retreating form, and commenting to Skyfire about how he almost feels sorry for Jhiaxus. Because that’s absolutely how he would feel about a fellow Autobot being sent off on a super-dangerous mission alone. (And oh look, the men are talking behind the backs of the women again about how emotionally volatile they are… See Ratchet, Jimmy, and Hunter talking behind Verity’s back, I suppose). 

Besides the gender politics, this book also isn’t very good, even by the standards of the Spotlight issues, which are pretty unremarkable. There’s not a lot of insight into or empathy for Arcee’s character, the book takes 24 pages to establish that she is angry and wants revenge on Jhiaxus with some exposition about Monstructor in between. The dialogue, particularly in the scene relating to Arcee’s gender, is very clunky, the story is unfocused and it really feels as if Furman was pushing an issue he'd had for a very long time through this book.

🌊 🧙‍♂️ 🧚‍♀️ for Admiral Arrington and Verity, please!!

Thanks for the ask!

🌊 ATLA: what element would they bend, or would they be a non-bender?

Admiral Arrington: My little brother and I have this running joke from a meme about Spaghetti Bending, and I think Admiral Arrington could EASILY be a spaghetti bender. Mans LOVES his pasta. All jokes aside, I definitely think he'd be a waterbender!

Verity: She'd probably be a firebender, if she was any kind of bender at all. She has that "not-a-bender-but-could-still-kick-your-butt" energy that almost makes me think she'd make a great Kyoshi warrior instead!

🧙‍♂️ HP: What’s their Hogwarts house?

Admiral Arrington: Probably a Griffindor!

Verity: Can I do one of those indecisive blended house things some people do? Because she'd definitley be a SlytherPuff. She's onoe of the most cunning and plan-ahead people in the entire book, but she's also got an unwavering loyalty and desire to support her friends, so I'm a little in between on that one.

🧚‍♀️ PH: What would their talent be if they were one of the Disney Fairies?

Admiral Arrington: Would it be cliche of me to say water fairy?

Verity: Either light or wind!

Best Reasons To Invest in Cubic Zirconia Pendants Online

One can find tons of jewelry verities in the market and cubic Zirconia pendants are one of them. Zirconia is a dazzling stone that comes with a hardness of 8.5 according to the Mohs scale and its density is 5.50 to 5.90. These features make this stunning and dazzling material more popular among the jewellery lovers and it becomes the second highest purchasing item after diamond. This is the reason, they don't hesitate to invest in Cubic Zirconia pendants online for a better and smoother reason. 

Here are the reasons why cubic Zirconia jewelleries are a great choice. 

Cost-effective  

As was already said, Zirconia jewelry makes an excellent alternative to diamond jewelry. Diamonds are normally quite pricey, making them unaffordable for most people. Cubic Zirconia has been a cost-effective option for many different sorts of jewelry pieces because it resembles a diamond identically but is far less expensive. 

Available in a wide variety to meet the individual taste 

Zirconia jewelry is offered in the market in a range of styles at affordable rates, from rings and earrings to pendants and bracelets. In terms of Zirconia stone colors, you have a variety of alternatives to select from, including yellow, pink, green, red, blue, orange, and more.

Flawless look 

In contrast to natural or precious stones, Zirconia is not subject to imperfections or other minor faults. Stone will remain faultless and untarnished, the manufacturer's guarantee, because it is made in a controlled laboratory setting.

Pure and colorless 

A completely white diamond is extremely rare; nonetheless, a colorless type of cubic Zirconia can be produced. Zirconia shimmers and shines brighter and better than natural gemstones due to its high dispersion index.

The smaller the better 

Keep in mind that smaller Zirconia stones look more stunning than their larger counterparts if you want to create something that will take people by surprise. Bigger isn't necessarily better, as they say. An exquisite piece of Zirconia jewelry offers an unsurpassed richness and grandeur. 

Flexible and dynamic 

Zirconia is one stone that may both abide by and contravene all laws. When set atop a base made of gold, silver, or platinum, the stone looks stunning. However, because stainless steel or sterling silver base metals are both lovely and robust, we advise choosing cubic zirconia jewelry that incorporates these base metals. 

Easy to maintain 

Jewelry made of cubic zirconia is very simple to keep, care for, and clean. It doesn't need much maintenance, however, it is advised that you take good care of your jewelry. To keep the brightness and luster, a simple twice-yearly visit to a skilled jeweler should suffice. Although Zirconia jewelry can be worn frequently, it is advised to keep the stone away from corrosive elements that might be found in some cosmetics. 

The perfect jewelry for travel 

Since cubic zirconia jewelry is less expensive than the majority of other types of popular jewelry, it can be worn or carried without concern for damage or security risks. The only thing you need to make sure of is that the jewelry doesn't frequently come into touch with chlorine or chlorinated water. 

One can find several cubic Zirconia pendants online in order to meet individual tastes and requirements. You have to surf the internet and choose the right one that will meet your unique requirements.

2019 writing round-up post!

It's been an interesting year!

Once again, I suspect I wrote more overall than last year - but much more heavily original, and even less fanfic (but still some!) again. But a couple of those have been stories people really love, or seem to, from the AO3 comments etc. I didn't finish one thing I'd really meant to finish, but I did write a 254k novel, which, what even.

So...let's see what all those things are!

Academic (just to get this out of the way first) ~A book chapter on Disney's Robin Hood for an edited collection on Disney & pop culture (my chapter's around 5,000 words) ~The intro/my chapter/overall editorial work/bibliography for the Terry Pratchett book, coming 2020 (collectively, probably around 15k words of my own writing, plus comments on contributor essays) ~The book proposal for the Star Trek book (~3,000 words) ~The in-progress Neil Gaiman and Batman book chapter - currently around 2k, needs to be around 6k including references ~Plus one more successful grant application! Not listing all the conference/unpublished papers, but those too. Fanfic Stucky straight from your heart, E, 10,516 words - ah, yes, my contribution to the Bottom Bucky Fest! It was such a marvelous prompt, about Steve guiltily having a kinky fantasy about essentially rescuing and caring for the Winter Soldier (which also includes teaching him all about pleasure), and Bucky finding out about this, and them then negotiating ways to make this fantasy come true. I hadn't been writing as much Stucky, but this one flowed really well and felt really good, and people seem to like it! Evanstan (hmm - way less Evanstan this year! still some, at least...) Evanstan Round Robin 2019, T, 12,497 words overall, but my chapters total 2,528 words. The annual holiday collaborative masterpiece! So soft and fluffy this year - such a delight sharing this love and creation and fandom with everyone! Extra Sugar - My Evanstan epic fic-baby! I added chapters 30 & 31 in 2019, which brings the total to 107,533 words - which means, doing some math, that's + 4,000 words exactly, apparently! There'll be one more chapter. I know what it is, I just haven't had the time to write it. 2020 goal: finish off this series, completely, entirely, at the end. I'm still so amazed by this whole universe that I somehow made, and by the fandom response to it. *hugs you all* Cherik When It's Time, T, 2852 words - this one's not up on AO3 yet, though I think I can do that now, if it's okay with the @cherikzine  people! This was my story for the Bookends Cherik 'zine, and it's an AU with magicians in a sort of present-day fantasy setting version of the ending of Dark Phoenix, and it was fun to get back to one of my first real fandom loves, and I'm glad I wrote it. we are electric hearts, T,  2,732 words - fluffy little fun universe-crossover in which Erik and Charles meet Kris and Justin, my original Demon for Midwinter characters, written for @kernezelda <3 Original Fic (written and published in 2019) Gingerbread Dreams, M, 23,662 words - holiday m/m gingerbread competition baking fluff! A cranky judge! A cheerful ugly-sweater-wearing baker! The Grumpy One Is Soft For The Adorable One! The story I looked up medieval gingerbread recipes for, for a contestant challenge! Also contains a couple of familiar characters from "October Spice" in supporting roles... This story is also available as part of the Most Wonderful Time of the Year Trio Collection from JMS Books - three novellas bundled together, at a discount! October Spice, E, 3,130 words - the story that briefly made it to #1 Best Seller on Amazon in the LGBTQ Short Reads category! My super-short flash fiction romance for JMS Books, priced at only 99 cents! (Or even less, when on sale!) A first meeting, instant attraction (and some orgasms!), a Halloween-loving baker, and an adorable firefighter. (Evan and Matt (well, Matt in baked-goods artistic tribute) get a supporting role in Gingerbread Dreams, as mentioned above, if you want to know what they're up to...) (Also, Evan's last name is 100% an Ace of Cakes reference.) Bisclavret, T, 11,756 words - technically I had about 5k of this written YEARS ago, back when I first read Marie de France's 12th-century lai in grad school and immediately had to write an adaptation of it. But this version has extensive revisions, and ended up over twice as long. If you like stories about a medieval bisexual werewolf and the demisexual king he falls in love with, and a love of books and cuddling...well, that's basically what this one is! A Leather and Tea Morning, E,6,993 words - the first of the Leather and Tea sequels! (There'll be at least one more, about which more below.) Ben and Simon, a lazy morning, and some emotional comfort sex in the wake of Simon having been in a car accident. He's all recovered and everything - but there're some emotions that need to be dealt with, about Ben and protectiveness and tenderness and care and getting back to a very cautious-but-satisfying kinky scene. Sound the Fairy-Call, E, 5,545 words - the heavily rewritten (like, nearly twice as long, new original characters, world-building, all of that) original-fic version of my old Evanstan fic Glow, and it's basically the medieval fantasy healing-sex-in-a-forest story, with a fairy and a tired mercenary and Eastern European folklore references! Plus I've managed to quote Robert Graves in the epigraph! (To be precise, I wrote the first draft of this at the very very end of 2018 - I had literally just signed the contract before last year's writing round-up post. But then there was editing, revisions, etc, in 2019. So it counts!) This story is also available as part of the JMS Books 2019 Top Ten Gay Romance collection! Come pick up a copy and discover all the bestselling gay romance authors! The Ninepenny Element, M, 12,274 words - my first published lesbian romance! With a lawyer, a witch, some hexed earrings, a psychic younger brother, and a ghost puppy! This is essentially the sequel to Elemental (m/m, E, 12,776 words), since Verity's the older sister of Sterling from that story, but you don't necessarily have to've read that one first. There'll likely be one more - I have a vague idea about weather magic, and there's more to explore in this universe. The Pooka's Share, E, 20,205 words - a weary magical cop, an unruly faerie horse shapeshifter, and some creative punishments for apple-theft! More fun with folklore and sex and two people finding each other and turning out to be exactly what they both need, full of magic and compassion. This story is also available as part of the Legendary Loves Trio collection from JMS Books - three novellas bundled together, at a discount! Original Fic (written in 2019, publication contracts signed but stories not yet published) A Demon for Forever, E, 13,752 words - surprise! I thought I was done with the Demon for Midwinter universe - but JMS did a submissions call for stories celebrating LGBTQ marriage, and, well - I'd written the proposal story for Kris and Justin, so...we should get to see the wedding, right? This one'll be out in February. Justin may or may not wear a wedding dress. A sparkly one. :D Leather and Tea in London, E, 20,909 words - the third of the Leather and Tea stories! Written for the JMS Books BDSM collection call. Simon's brother needs a favor. So Ben and Simon head to London, bringing Ben's retired-spy skill set and also some fun toys for enjoying themselves... Original Fic (written in 2019, not yet under contract or published other than on AO3) Character Bleed, E, 254,099 words. Which means...since last year I had 40,371 words done...that's +213,728 words. In a year. Not even counting the Bonus Scenes (see below) or the sequel-in-progress. THIS STORY, YOU GUYS. I love it and these characters so much. It's the most ambitious thing I've ever tried to write, that whole story-within-a-story, being about actors filming a Regency-era gay love story, and falling in love themselves. I'm just looking at it all...and I'm in awe...and the response to this, oh wow. I've been so amazed and so grateful and so thrilled - the art, the trailer, the comments, the people thinking about these characters and loving them along with me - I'm so lucky to have all of you. *hugs everyone* And now I have to figure out what to do with it, and how and where one even publishes this behemoth, and how to cut it into manageable book-length divisions...! Character Bleed Bonus Scenes, E, 25,697 words currently - there'll be one more chapter, of which I have about a sentence written. I know exactly what that is, too - Colby getting to top, albeit still with Jason giving some directions. :D The untitled Character Bleed sequel, which is Leo's story - not up on AO3 yet, though I might start that with at least the prologue, later today or tomorrow. But it's already up to 15,511 words, plus my outline... Ember and Serenity, E, 20,752 words currently - I added chapter 4 in 2019, so about +5k words in 2019, I think? I do have plans for this one. Oh yes. My librarian-magician and his book-thief...yes. And if you're wondering who hired Serenity, well, there already has been a clue... :D

A few little scenes, odds and ends, plot bunnies like that necromancer/prince opening...not sure what the word count is there, probably a couple thousand. ~~ Okay, I THINK that's everything! Which is...a lot of words. Character Bleed alone...wow. Just...wow. It's definitely tilted even more toward original fic this year, and I didn't finish 'rain on tin,' which means it's been over a year since I've touched that one, so I'll have to get back to it!

But I did get to go back and write a couple things for my old Cherik loves, plus at least some Stucky & Evanstan, so that felt good, and I'm super-excited about lots of those original fic accomplishments - Amazon sales rank, sheer length, fun with medievalism, Top Ten achievements, my first lesbian romance, and of course everything about Character Bleed, which is, I think, my favorite thing I've written - it's so real in my head, and it was so weirdly easy to write, despite the length! Thanks for reading! I hope your year is starting off splendidly. <3

American/Western European town names

I spent a long time putting together potential names for my AC town and didn’t want them to go to waste, so here are a bunch of potential town names. You can use these in AC, writing, DND, or whatever strikes you!

I’ve broken this into two sections: French, and everything else. The French are mostly real French towns, real French words, or various French syllables put together. If you don’t know how to pronounce French some of these are going to seem very weird, but you may still find a few you like! For the rest of the names, some are words that sound appropriate as names, while others are real towns in America or Europe, and others are totally made up. I used some unique baby name sites to pull some of these.

I made up. a lot of names. so I’ve broken these into two posts. Click here for mix-and-match word/name town names. 

French town names:

Bayenne                        Bayeux                       Caen Calais                            Étienne                       Lordenne Lorient                           Lourdes                      Meilleux Nevers                          Roanne                       Talence Vannes

American/Western European town names:

Desire and Decorum Family Trees

Okay in my last story I name dumped a bunch of characters that made up Ernest and Clara’s grandchildren. I didn’t really explain where most of them came from and in my recent story I dropped who a couple kids in this universe married. So this is just my compendium list that makes up the different families. I don’t know if I’ll write more with these grandkids or the kids and such but I figured why not share it? I mean I wrote it up and it just might interest someone. 

And hey if someone notices if the years are off you can correct me lol. At the time most would name their kids after family members but since that would get confusing I tried to just pick other names in its place. The parentheses are just the birth years. If you notice the gap between the children that it kind indicates that there might have been more but they were miscarriages or stillbirths from the time these are just the ones that survived to adulthood. Or purposely waited (like Briar and Edmund they waited on purpose, there was no stillborns or miscarriages with them).
