Sylum Inspiration: William Turner

Sanctuary: Second in Command

 

Will was raised by his mother in England and believed his father was a respectable navy man in the Royal Navy. When his mother died, Will began searching for his father, the only clue he had of him, was a gold medallion he had sent his mother.

The ship he was on, had been raided by Pirates, he was the only survivor.  It was being rescued by the HMS Dauntless from the burning shipwreck, that Will first met Elizabeth Swann.  Upon arrival in Port Royal, Will Turner became a blacksmith apprentice under John Brown.  As a simple craftsman, his life revolved around his work, and his distant longing for a woman he knew could never have.

When Pirates raid Port Royal, Will set out to defend the town and try to get to Elizabeth.  He was attacked by members of the raiding party and is run through.

As he lay dying in the street, he was approached by Hector, who offered him a new life.

Announcement: Big Bang

 

Due to many variables I’m having to cancel the Big Bang.  It just wasn’t the time or year for it.

Everyone who was working on something, has graciously moved it to Advent!  

Thanks for those who signed up! I’m really hoping next year we can try this again.

Sylum Inspiration: Captain Jack Sparrow

Sanctuary: Hunter

 

Was just recently re watching the Pirate Series (as rumors are moving around that there is a 6th in the works).   From that this whole month is Pirate inspired.  

Captain Jack Sparrow was born on the sea in the middle of a typhoon. He doesn’t remember much of his childhood, only that it always consisted of a ship and water.

He’s served on many great ships and had many grand adventures before he was even twenty. It was when he refused to ship humans as cargo that he was branded a Pirate and his life as the infamous Pirate Captain began.

Sparrow made a deal with Davy Jones to pull his ship up from the water and renamed her the Black Pearl. It was then he set out to be a Pirate only to have his crew mutiny and take the ship. Jack couldn’t help but smirk when the crew ended up cursed for stealing the treasure of Isla de Muerta.

Jack escaped the island they abandoned him on.

Sea Turtles was the key, that and rum.

Over the years he wandered, through the islands, his only goal to claim the Pearl back.

He had heard rumors that Barbossa was aiming for Port Royal, that William Turner’s boy was all grown up and could stop the curse. What Sparrow hadn’t expected was to be taken out by his own ship.

He had know about Vampires, seen a few and no one talks about the Jackdaw, so when Odysseus asked if he wanted to be saved.

There was only one word.

Savvy.

Frankenstein Day

Yes it’s a day!  Yes it made me snicker for a few moments.

Who’s read the book?  Which is your favorite adaptation?

Did we all know a new version is coming out?  Which actually looks promising. 

And a small Sylum Snippet – this may not make sense.  But it’s off a scene that’s in the updated version of Family.   Basically Issac Evan, Arthur and Nico ended up in a jail cell with Frankenstein…

Coffee House Friday

It’s that time or at least in some areas.

School season is about to start whether it’s young kids or collage courses.

Prepping kids for school?  Getting ready for your own classes?

Thank God don’t have to worry about that.

The downside for me is my commute gets worse!
