You know the Faerie Queen is holding her ball at dawn. What dress do you wear to seduce her? (Description or photo)

Okay so I probably wouldn’t wear a dress because I love them but I always feel like I look bad in them, so I would instead go for a really fancy suit. But you gotta go, like, all out, right? You can’t just wear a suit, even a really nice one, and expect to seduce any member of the Court. Color scheme would be black and gold because I know what I’m about. Like this suit kind of has the vibe I’d go for if you cranked it up to 20.

mix that with this sweet-ass beaded vest. so like, if that suit jacket and this vest had a baby. and with more of a floral and bone motif to the embroidery and beading, because again, i know what i’m about.

also no tie, because fuck ties. and actually, you know what, instead of a dress shirt underneath, i want some embroidered lace mesh like this shit here

and while we’re at it let’s throw in a cape, because capes are sick as hell. maybe not this long, but this is for sure The Vibe.

so. black. gold. ostentatious yet (hopefully) elegant. flower + bones motif. open vest/jacket combo, titties out but tastefully covered with black skeletal lace. lots of sick ass rings, gold ear cuff and hair ornaments. and a sweet fucking mask because i refuse to believe this is not a masquerade ball.

i’m not sure you know exactly what can of worms you just opened, but okay. here we go. A Brief History Of One Of Orion’s Huge Obsessions™:

lord john franklin was one of those arctic explorers that died before he got there. what makes his story super cool though is that he completely disappeared in 1846 - nobody could fucking find him or his crew or his ships, and it was a big deal how big of a mystery it was.

his wife - lady franklin - supposedly was the one who wrote a ballad about him that got super famous (& is still sung today). of course, it probably wasn’t actually her, but it makes a nice story. (listen to lady franklin’s lament, it’s actually really pretty.)

the part that obsesses me the most is how much mythology was built up around him. searching for lord franklin became people’s quest, lady franklin herself sent a whole fuckton of people after him to no avail, and the tradition sort of kept going. people really wanted to find him.

people really thought some magic was going on there. (this shouldn’t be a surprise, though, considering how inextricably intertwined sailing is with ghost stories.)

there’s some mythos about the hand of franklin especially, his reaching-out hand, and uhhh i wrote a whole poem about it because it haunts me so badly. there’s something both romantic and heartbreaking about these doomed expeditions that i can’t stop thinking about, especially when they’re so mysterious, and especially when they are, inherently, a story about ghosts and history.

everyone was pretty ready to accept franklin as a loss, except:

then they found his ships.

and they also found evidence of cannibalism, despite having food that they abandoned onboard.

and apparently a bunch of inuit folks knew where they were the whole goddamn time. (mood, tbh. if people had fucking listened to them in the first place...)

i’m having trouble wording why this is so vitally important to me, but there’s something about this story that won’t leave me alone. there are a bunch of other arctic explorers who died on the way there, but none of them have the same pull on me. maybe it’s because this one is a ghost story too.

what song would you play as a warning to anyone pursuing you?

in no particular order:

1. I Just Want To Have Something To Do by The Ramones. Cranking this while you’re driving and singing along is so energizing and makes you feel badass and cool as hell, or at least it does for me. Plus that guitar bit near the end??? Nice

2. Migra by Santana. This has a lot to do with the fact that Supernatural was one of my mom’s favorite albums, and so was frequently played in the car, so now I just. Associate it with driving. But also it is so fun and I still love it a lot.

3. Don’t Stop Believing by Journey. I know. But hear me out. It’s fun, and it’s cheesy and delightful, and the karaoke potential is great. And on that note…

4. Showtunes. (Not a song, technically, but) Have you ever dreamed of performing in a musical? Well, guess what? It’s a long drive and now’s your chance. Whatever your musical of choice may be, sing your fucking heart out.

5. I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers. Self explanatory.
