“Do you know what your problem is?” Stylized, rather, like a rhetorical question, but only a stranger would presume it actually was one. No, Henry had an answer ready and rolling with only just enough space between one sentence and the next to effectively guarantee he was cutting the other off. “Your problem is that you sail for all the wrong reasons.”
Affronted by the man’s curt interruption and his presumption, Arthur shot back before he could be cut off yet again, “I sail for the king; is that not right, not noble?” A lie, of course, he sailed for the prize and his name in the gazette — not that he would ever say so to a sailor. “You yourself perhaps sail for base reasons, a constable to flee — perhaps a father, and all without any regard towards the service, of which you haven’t any respect for either.”
sentence starters from the 1962 film, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
“you’re the most extraordinary man i’ve ever met.”
“i had to execute someone.”
“so you’ll be going back then.”
“you rotten bloody man, let me take your rotten bloody picture for the rotten bloody newspaper.”
“i can’t make out whether you’re bloody bad - mannered or just half - witted.”
“thy mother mated with a scorpion.”
“a man who tells lies, like me, merely hides the truth. but a man who tells half - lies has forgotten where he put it.”
“the trick, [ name ], is not minding that it hurts.”
“i’m not hurt at all.”
“didn’t you know? they can only kill me with a golden bullet.”
“i don’t think that’s a very good idea.”
“it’s clean.”
“nothing is written.”
“you are an englishman. are you not loyal to england?”
“look, sir, we can’t just do nothing.”
“i say, [ name ]. you are a clown!”
“ah, well, we can’t all be lion tamers.”
“the best of them won’t come for money; they’ll come for me.”
“no prisoners!”
“i killed two people.”
“that’s to be expected.”
“truly, for some men, nothing is written unless they write it.”
“there is nothing in the desert, and no man needs nothing.”
“there may be honour among thieves, but there’s none in politicians.”
“have you no fear?”
“my fear is my concern.”
“young men make wars, and the virtues of war are the virtues of young men.”
“you answered without saying anything. that’s politics.”
“what is your name?”
“none of my friends is a murderer!”
“it is recognised that you have a funny sense of fun.”
“no. i’m different.”
“it seems to me that you are free to choose your own name, then.”
“then you’re an ignoble fellow.”
“it’s my manner, sir.”
“it looks insubordinate, but it isn’t really.”
“shut up and get out!”
“never saw a man killed with a sword before.”
“the english have a great hunger for desolate places.”
“it’s awfully dangerous.”
“alright! i’m extraordinary! what of it?”
“well, that’s a feeble thing to say.”
“i know i’m not ordinary.”
“that’s not what i’m saying…”
“you’re an interesting man, there’s no doubt about it.”
“undisciplined, unpunctual, untidy.”
“it’s a storm in a tea cup.”
“big things have small beginnings.”
“be patient with him, god.”
“what are you looking for?”
“be thankful that when god gave you a face, he gave you a fool’s face.”
“i’m looking for a hero.”
“indeed, you do not seem a romantic man.”
“what ails the englishman?”
“he’s a slim customer.”
“i pray that i may never see the desert again. hear me, god.”
“i cannot fiddle, but i can make a great state of a small city.”
“you have lied most bravely, but not convincingly.”
“he’s riding the whirlwind.”
“life is a vale of troubles.”
“what in hell do you want?”
“i just want my ration of common humanity.”
“what i owe you is beyond evaluation.”
“the desert has dried up more blood than you can think of.”
“you love him.”
“then why do you weep?”
i know i’ve dipped these past few weeks (oops). a lot’s happened to me irl, but i’m very motivated again to get back into writing for arthur, mostly because i’m reading the war for all the oceans and i realized how much i missed my horrible little middy, so i’d be glad to get something going again!

i know i’ve just, dipped, these past few days. i just have a lot going on irl and i haven’t had much inspiration or time to write. i’ll try my best to get back and be more active soon! for now i’ll just be checking the dash and just, lurking in general.

𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫:
there are many nameless stretches of sand scattered leeward in the antilles archipelago. jack knows less than half of them by name, and most by size of storage of smuggled rum, weapons, and other delicacies. the presence of the british royal navy, while generally unwelcome, doesn’t surprise him— through the spyglass he follows their bustling with scientific attention, weighing gibbs’ counsel to leave them alone as opposed to many of his men’s wishful plan to empty their ship of riches and fresh food. he’s only half-through considering gains and losses when a polished voice with a curious accent calls out to him.
lively, hm? hopefully, she’s not too aptly named. “me? i don’t see how captain jack sparrow needs any introductions, mate.” jack grins, taking off his hat to perform a bow of exaggerated formality. “as for that, i fear i have no idea— the crown insists on hanging me, if that answers your question. but i don’t see why we should let these silly quarrels get between us.”
arthur could do little else but gawk at the man — it was well enough that it distracted him from the terror that he ought to be consumed with, for he would have hated to tremble terribly. he had heard of the man, of course, this sparrow — he would be loathe to call him captain. there was scarce a king's man who sailed in these waters who could claim ignorance of the man's lawlessness and wickedness.
"they are the quarrels of the king!" arthur exclaimed, unable to defend his own person, but in enough possession of his senses that offence to his majesty jarred him, "do not jest lightly so." he managed to stammer out further protest, though stammering was all that it was, "why, i should — i should — !" his voice took on a shrill note, either from his fear, or indignation, he could not tell. but shame tempered his fear into bravado, though gratefully still leaving him with his head. the idea of him being an even match in skill with a blade with this man was improbable, though he fancied himself a match for any sailor who fought for his most catholic majesty, or those who fought for sovereigns. but the livelys — well, the same could not be said for an entire crew of them.
"why, you have been rightfully charged with all manner of wicked deeds that you take gross pride in! there is a warship of the crown on this isle, i remind you." arthur finally said, though the shrillness of his voice became something more resembling a command, though with the ever-present note of boyish indignation. "and the livelys, they're a good sort — a vicious sort."
When I say the phrase "we die like men" I don't mean men in general, I specifically mean men aboard a pre-20th century sailing ship with frock coats and early stage scurvy
Battle of the Nile, HMS Orion under Captain Sir James Saumarez Giving the Enemy Ships Le Peuple Souverain, Franklin and L'Orient a broadside, 1 August 1798, by Timothy Franklin Ross Thompson

i chose the orion as the real ship of the line that arthur serves on because a) she was involved in all the major naval actions of the wars and b) a certain capt. a----y served aboard the orion as a lieutenant at cape st. vincent so i’m not exactly saying that arthur served with him and exists in the same universe as him, but you know, its implied.
arthur has partial hearing loss from the explosion of l’orient at the battle of the nile in 1798, when he was serving aboard the orion as a midshipman + as an obvious consequence of being exposed to canon fire frequently without any precautions over the years. its not too severe that he can’t do his duties, but his hearing isn’t what it used to be either.
appearance headcanons .
- he’ll be in uniform of whatever his present rank is most of the time — it’s rare to see him in civilian clothes.
- he always makes sure to spend generously whenever he’s getting uniforms made; always the best tailors, the best fabrics, and gold — not pinchbeck. this applies to all his uniforms, and not even just his dress ones.
- when in civilian clothing, he mostly leans towards sober cuts and styles — not unfashionable, but not eye-catching for any reason either.
- his hair’s naturally feathery and soft and straight, but he keeps it short. he makes efforts to style it nicely though, if only not to look slovenly and to impress.
- his face and hands are often tanned — especially when he’s serving in tropical stations. though there’s a sharp contrast between the tanned skin of his hands and face and the pale skin of his wrists and neck.

headcanon prompts based on the planets ( plus the sun & moon ) and what they symbolize within astrology. each have more than a few topics, feel free to edit as you see fit. for more understanding of these planets, visit this website for help. have fun with these !
𝟎𝟏. 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐍 !
( 𝗌𝗒𝗆𝖻𝗈𝗅𝗂𝗓𝖾𝗌 : ego, basic personality, consciousness, vitality, staminia. )
how is your muse as a person ? do they think highly of themselves or are they pretty humble ? what’re they like when meeting someone for the first time ? are they an individual who you’d say is pretty aware of their surroundings and themself, and knows just what they want from life ? give us a peak through the veil of just who your muse is. only a peak !
𝟎𝟐. 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐍 !
( 𝗌𝗒𝗆𝖻𝗈𝗅𝗂𝗓𝖾𝗌 : unconsciousness, emotions, instincts, habits, moods. )
is your muse an emotional person ? do they feel deeply or not enough ? if so, go into depth. are they controlled by their instincts, do they listen to what their gut is telling them or do they let their head rule instead ? do they have any cute, or maybe unhealthy habits ? what are their moods like ? how do they handle random mood swings ?
𝟎𝟑. 𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐘 !
( 𝗌𝗒𝗆𝖻𝗈𝗅𝗂𝗓𝖾𝗌 : mind, communication, intellect, reason, language, intelligence. )
would you say that your muse is strong minded ? are they easily persuaded or drawn off of their own path or hard to reason with ? are they good at communicating their feelings, wishes, and goals or do they struggle with the general form of communication ? are they easily understanding of both other people and matters out with their own control ? would you consider them intelligent, book smart, street smart, and morally smart ?
𝟎𝟒. 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒 !
( 𝗌𝗒𝗆𝖻𝗈𝗅𝗂𝗓𝖾𝗌 : attraction, love, relationships, art, beauty, harmony. )
what is your muse ’ s opinion on love ? what are they like in a relationship ? both good and bad. what do the seek for in a relationship ? what type of people are they attracted to ? could be romantically, sexually, or even spiritually ? do they seek someone similar to themselves or someone vastly different ? what does beauty mean to them ? do they associate the word with appearances ? souls ? what does the word ‘ harmony ‘ mean to them ?
𝟎𝟓. 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒 !
( 𝗌𝗒𝗆𝖻𝗈𝗅𝗂𝗓𝖾𝗌 : aggression, sex, action, desire, competition, courage, passion. )
is your muse subtle when it comes to things they want ? are they passionate about the things they do, so much so it could come off as aggressive ? perhaps obsessive ? what gives your muse passion ? what makes them competitive, what gives them courage ? how do they express these, by words ? actions ? what is your muses sexual energy like ? are they a sexual person ? the planet mars represents sexual energy, whilst venus represents romantic energy, so talk a little about what they look for sexually, to please themselves and others.
𝟎𝟔. 𝐉𝐔𝐏𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑 !
( 𝗌𝗒𝗆𝖻𝗈𝗅𝗂𝗓𝖾𝗌 : luck, growth, expansion, optimism, abundance, understanding. )
is your muse a lucky person ? do things randomly tend to go their way without much effort, or do they have to work for bad luck ? when was the moment in your muses life that they had to grow up, a situation where they just knew it was time for them to mature ? perhaps a traumatic event, maybe even an exciting one ! has your muse found their happiness in life ? their purpose ? if so, when and how did that happen ? what gives your muse confidence, what makes them optimisitc ? or are they pessimistic ? what makes their life purposeful ?
𝟎𝟕. 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍 !
( 𝗌𝗒𝗆𝖻𝗈𝗅𝗂𝗓𝖾𝗌 : structure, law, restriction, discipline, responsibility, obligation, ambition. )
what does your muse fear ? what do they worry about ? what restricts them ? what exactly keeps them bound to reality ? what are their responsibilities ? do they have any obligations ? maybe to work ? another person ? do they have a set routine ? what does the word ‘ law ‘ mean to them ? unfortunately this beautiful planet can create strain and stress, so does your muse stress easily ? do they struggle with anxiety or similar issues ? if so, how do they deal ? saturn is the planet of reality, which is hard to face. does your muse face their issues head on, or do they tend to live in their own little world ?
𝟎𝟖. 𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐔𝐒 !
( 𝗌𝗒𝗆𝖻𝗈𝗅𝗂𝗓𝖾𝗌 : eccentricity, unpredictable changes, rebellion, reformation. )
this particular planet is the planet of sudden inspiration and change, so how does your muse handle unpredictable changes ? how do they handle planned and known changes ? what about inspiration ? do they do whatever inspires them in that moment, or is their inspiration something that takes time to develop and build ? what makes your muse special ? what makes them different and eccentric, if they are ? where do they create the most change ?
𝟎𝟗. 𝐍𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐔𝐍𝐄 !
( 𝗌𝗒𝗆𝖻𝗈𝗅𝗂𝗓𝖾𝗌 : dreams, intuition, mysticism, imagination, delusions. )
what are your muses goals ? what’s their dreams ? are they intuitive ? do they believe in spirituality and acknowledge that in every day life ? where in life are they most creative ? or are they perhaps, like the planet saturn, bound to reality and don’t believe or acknowledge such things ? those ruled by neptune tend to run away with their goals and ideas and often enough run too fast that they trip, so failure is familar to those who are ruled by neptune. does your muse get too caught up in unrealisitc ideas ? if so, how do they handle the disappointment ? those ruled by neptune are also full of child-like innocence, which can make them come off as naive. does your muse care what others think of them ?
𝟏𝟎. 𝐏𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐎 !
( 𝗌𝗒𝗆𝖻𝗈𝗅𝗂𝗓𝖾𝗌 : transformation, power, death, rebirth, evolution. )
what does ‘ power ‘ mean to your muse ? and how important is it to them ? is death something that frightens them ? how do they handle death ? do they believe in reincarnation ? rebirth doesn’t necessarily mean dying and being reborn as another person or thing, it can also mean something as simple as changing something drastic about themselves, so do they believe a person can truly change ? transform their flaws and be reborn as a better person ?
language / accent headcanons .
arthur’s native language is english, though he speaks it with a heavy cornish accent. he’s adamant about not being shamed into losing it, or hiding it, even if it doesn’t exactly help others’ opinions of him — he’s very proud of his family’s origins and where he came from. he also knows a good deal of the cornish language and dialect, though by the time he was born, the first had faded in use significantly. he’s also fluent in french, and can carry on a conversation in the language — though his accent’s noticeably foreign.

fun fact about me is that i have a miniature version of the “england expects that every man will do his duty” flag signal of trafalgar fame hung up in front of my desk. y’know. normal room decor stuff.
tbh arthur witnessing (and participating in) brutal naval combat since the age of 14 definitely didn’t do his mental state any favours. and while i know that life was rougher back then, i’m fairly sure that being thrust into active service at the age of 14 after a relatively sheltered life will have its effects on anyone, regardless of the era.
