How I Spent My Weekend

May 17, 2010 23:10

Part of it, anyway. Sunday was spent here, playing pirate. I must admit that hanging over the quarter deck railing, shooting black powder (blanks, of course) at approaching marauders, was fun. It was an unscripted battle, as most of them are at reenactments, and I was one of the few women pirates to participate. It earned me the following accolade from my husband and pirate-partner-in-crime (and I quote):

"You looked just like your Emily Deswhatshername, flapping around out there like you're a bigger badass than you really are. It looked like something on TV."

Which is gratifying, because I used to take my acting very seriously. And while Agnes of God and Private Lives were more challenging, there were no cutlasses or flintlock pistols involved. Weaponry makes things even more fun.

Yes, that icon is fanart of Emily Deswhatshername as Pirate!Brennan. There's an AU fic out there about her adventures. If you were wondering.

arr matey, reenactment, i may not be normal, fandom, other people do this too right
