Still dealing with post-AWE stress syndrome ;)

[caduceus]

The lastest bit of silliness that my brain came up with after the AWE woe avalanche on my f-list.
I've witnessed many efforts to deal with the third part of Disney's PotC, great and small. Whatever the result of this movie, whatever your opinion about it ~ it's certainly done a great job of bringing back life to the fandom.

LOL! You are a formidable force, though I have to say I wouldn't have objected to seeing Norrington in a lovely brocaded purple coat like that one :) Though the hat wouldn't suit anybody. It's nice to know that our lads are so well defended - and don't they look happy about it :)

Those are lovely dresses, and hairstyles! You could add me as a somewhat plump cross-dressing civilian secretary in the background, or possibly as Gillette's wooden-legged Killick-like cook, brandishing a ladle ;) I think I'd look too matronly in a dress.

What a good fencing stance Molly has there! You can tell she knows what she's doing :)

[caduceus]

I daresay Norrington would object to purple, but maybe I can convince him to go civilian once... maybe dark green velvet would look good on him? Or a blueish grey? Hmmm... *looks at a picbunny eyeing her ankle with bared teeth*

I'd love to add you to the "Navyboy Protection Force" someday! Might I bother you for a short description of yourself so I can get it right? A pic would be awesome, but only if you'd ever feel comfortable sharing one with me... :)
And don't worry, those are slimming pencils. Molly and I would look quite matronly as well in those dresses if I didn't use them. I draw, ergo I'm boss. And where can you lose a few pounds with one pencil stroke? Artistic license - you gotta love it. ;D

[ex_galadhir]

Oh, blueish grey for Norrington, and green for wigless Gillette :) For a long time I've had this terrible desire to write them a fic in which they are in civilian costume - maybe going out to the theatre or something - just so I would have the chance to dress them up in embroidered silk waistcoats and figured damask frock coats. The clothes of the time are so sumptuous that the Naval uniform is almost plain beside them, and I would love to see the boys decked out like 18th Century men about town :)

Squee! I would be delighted and honoured to be added to the Women's Naval Volunteer Corps :) Particularly if slimming pencils are involved ;) See this post for details:
Dying for Gillington

Alright, here's a deal: I draw the boys going out in civilian clothing, and you write a ficlet so I don't have to make a clumsy, uneloquent attempt at explaining.
Though I personally don't like the "redhead wearing green" cliché all that much ~ I think Gillette might just be able to pull it off if it's a muted dark green. We'll see...

Do we have a deal? ;)

Also, I really have to think about drawing a second part to the one above - the response to it was overwhelming. And how could I resist including a pretty redhead like you?! ;) The colour suits you, mylady!
Clearly, T&T have NO idea what they've done... *eg*

[mrs_norrington]

Lovely! Gillette and Andrew being defended so admirably warms my heart. :)

[caduceus]

Yay! Mission accomplished! :) Glad you like it!

[spacebabie]

Bravo and thank you for saving our Commodore, now we just gotta rescue Groves and our favorite Marines.

Remember, say no to mustard.

[caduceus]

"Say no to mustard." - That's brilliant!

Glad you like the pic. Groves and the Marines made good use of the muskets, I'm sure. ;)

[life_of_amesu]

I think Norrington will be back. It's just a feeling I have...

They brought Barbosa back so they can bring James back. Plus that Gatsbian light at the end of the film...hmmm...me wonders, me wonders...

[caduceus]

*grins* Happy to hear that you approve!

Love and happy energy is very much appreciated, and give Becky a big smooch from me! <3<3<3

Fantastic ! I said it elsewhere and I repeat it now: our gallant (and so lovely^^) Navyboys can be proud of us because "Hearts of oak are our fangirls" :)

I love the amount of details you put in the clothes and hairdoes. The happy and grateful smile of Mr Norrington to Mr Gillette is enough to make a rock melt.

And now I want a sword and a corset too ! :)

[caduceus]

Oh definitely - Navy fangirls gotta be Hearts of Oak! I like that. :)

Simple rule about my drawings: the more fun I have with it, the more detail I put into a pic. I guess I had waaaay too much fun with this one. *ggg*

Next time the "Navyboy Protection Force" gets together, be sure to be there. Sword and dress will be provided by me and my pencils. Perfect fit guaranteed, absolutely no bad hair day! Like I said to galadhir above, I'd need a short description of yourself so I can get your 18th century version right. Photo would be awesome, but only if you'd feel comfy with me knowing. ;)

[hms_dauntless]

YAY !!!! That would be absolutely awesome ! To appear along with my beloved navyboys, and in a sketch of yours !that would really make my day :)

Some time ago I posted some (silly) pics of myself taken at Venice (not the visit to the Naval Museum, this was almost a year before, during the Carnival). I think they... may fit the specific purpose (warning: in the pics I'm wearing contact lenses, but I use glasses too ^^. And I'm by no way anorexic *G*).

BTW, Titanic took sail yesterday. Hope no icebergs come in its way ;)

[caduceus]

*grins* Well then, let's see what my Navyboy muses come up with, shall we?

Thank you for your trust! Those pictures are awesome, and not silly at all ~ and I really have to agree: you are pretty! Especially with the Commodorial hat! :D
I'd love to see those costumed people myself one day, and then take an extensive tour of the Naval Museum. *g*

I'll be watching out for the Titanic from my little lighthouse! *squee*
