I'm just trying to survive life, guys

@incognita-soul / incognita-soul.tumblr.com

some nerd named brooke who works on tall ships and who generally has no idea what she's doing with her life. welcome to my shitty blog where i post what i want, of whatever quality or topic i want, when i want; it's truly a great representation of my life up to this point really.....

Hi, hello, oh my gosh welcome! There are a lot of new folks here, thanks for joining us!

I didn't expect my post about Darrell the Bosun's Mate Cat aboard Lady Washington (i.e. my son) to spread so far, but now that it has broken containment and brought so many new people to my blog I figure I should introduce myself.

I'm Brooke, and I'm a tall ship sailor, which means I make a very meager living by bouncing around to sail and teach on different historical masted sailing vessels around the US (and the globe eventually, but at the moment just the states). At least for now I have my four year old cat Darrell with me and the plan is to continue bringing him with me on my contracts when I can, but this is his first time as a boat cat so I'm still not sure whether he'll like it enough to continue traveling with me full time. So far he's been a bit skittish but overall seems like he'll adjust just fine!

Currently I'm working my fourth contract on Lady Washington in the Pacific Northwest and I'll try to post pictures and updates about that. I am bosun this year, so I'm very busy, but I'll try my best to at least do monthly photo dumps. Up til now my blog has just been a random assortment of reblogged posts I find intersting, and it will continue to be mostly that, but I will start tagging my boat life and cat posts as #boat adventures and #darrell blogging respectively so they will be easier to find for those who are interested. If it's your thing, Darrell does have an Instagram @burntnoodlecat which I will also try to update more.

I hope you stick around! and that I'm able to remember to post and tag shit consistently

ALL I WANNA DO IS *musket shot* *minutes-long period of silence interspersed with the sounds of a lead ball rolling down the barrel, fiddling with a cartridge, pouring powder, and locking the mechanism in place* *musket shot* *minutes-long period of silence interspersed with the sounds of a lead ball rolling down the barrel, fiddling with a cartridge, pouring powder, and locking the mechanism in place* *musket shot* *minutes-long period of silence interspersed with the sounds of a lead ball rolling down the barrel, fiddling with a cartridge, pouring powder, and locking the mechanism in place* AND *sound of a small coin purse being bluntly dropped onto a wooden countertop* AND TAKE YOUR MONEY

The #original pic got removed but I say their right to #privacy is #forfeit 🥰🥰😍💖💖

Sorry, no free space on this one. I want real answers because I believe this question is at the heart of what makes us people. Reblog (please and thank you <3) for larger sample size, etc.

Okay, I finished the main images that have been plaguing my brain, so help yourself to: Gondor-Rohan Weddin Day, AU Edition

BROTHER HONOR GUARD

Also details because we all know I love symbolism: Eowyn's carrying Theoden's sword, and she has a Gondorian medal of honor and seabird-wing necklace, while Faramir has a Rohanian crest.

After all the tragedy and trauma, you know--you know--Boromir and Eomer would spend all day being stupid giddy and trying to start shit to cover up for it.

With help from Merry and Pippin

Get him, Eowyn

Who's that in the crowd eyeballing the Third Marshal of the Riddermark?

Final shot for everyone who's obsessed with Boromir's awesome hugs

Okay I have to stop for now or I'm gonna miss a plane, byeee

"biblical angels" you do realise there are angels in the old testament that are literally just regular looking guys, right? you do know that the hallucinogenic incoherent descriptions are in like. two books. and the rest of the time angels are just guys. you know that, right?

and I'm not saying don't have fun with weird angels. I'm saying, either the eldritch forms are for special occasions, or the society of the angels is Many-Eyed-Many-Winged-Interlocking-Circles, Four-Faces-Six-Wings, and Mike.

Literally Raphael is just a normal person!

this is what the heavenly breakroom is like

Oh no now I love the water cooler angel

this is the same guy who also made himself a fruit cocktail midgame. he is The manic pixie dream girl

Living alone leads to habits that you don’t realize are weird until you stay with someone else and have to suppress them.

I’m staying with family right now and I can’t just go “AUGH” like a peanuts character in the middle of the night just because I feel like it. I also can’t lick cooking utensils anymore because other people are gonna be eating that. And I can’t rant to my Swedish horse because I left that at home and also ranting to an inanimate object in the middle of the house would make me look insane.

I was talking to my aunt about this because she also lives alone and we agree that when you start living alone you need to start making more noises when you do things like grunting when you get up and yelling at annoying inanimate objects because you need to fill the space somehow. But when suddenly other people are around you’re now in the habit of whistling whenever you open a cabinet and people who have never lived alone don’t understand what you’re doing.

If you ever stay with somebody who lives alone for a few days and they start randomly doing squats in the middle of the kitchen and clicking their teeth or making noises at birds outside, just let them. Believe it or not those are methods of preserving sanity. Shaking the fridge and demanding it give you answers is a shield against the impeding darkness.
