Younger Members of the Walrus Crew out of frame filming the latest tiktok craze. “HANG ON HANG ON LIFT ME HIGHER! HIGHER JOSHUA!”

____

Flint and Gates, beloved owners of The Walrus Gay Bar and resident Tired Old Queers watching the baby queer members of the crew get up to shenanigans that never end well. they both known what tiktok is and flint even has an account, but they pretend to be confused by it for the sake of workplace comdey/makng the youngins feel hip.

aka i am really really really emo about flint’s relationship with Gates and the Walrus Crew in general so general modern au (but also ballet au) has Flint going to THERAPY and DEALING WITH HIS SHIT instead of taking it out on his gaggle of unruly adult children and intimate best friend forever.

"Why did you run away from your home?" the man that had introduced himself as Captain Flint asked, frowning in your direction as some of the other members of his crew also stared at you, standing beside and behind him. Seeing that you made no motion to answer his question, the Captain spoke again. "The streets of Nassau are not a good place for you to wonder around all on your own"

"They are still better than my home" you muttered in something that was just above a whisper, but they clearly heard you. You saw the way one of his man laughed and your cheeks burned in embarrassment. You turned around to leave instantly, wanting to get away from those strangers.

"Wait" Captain Flint said and sighting heavily you turned back around, just to see him giving a hard look to the crew member who had been laughing at you before focusing his gaze on you. "Do you like the sea...?" he left the question hanging in the air.

"(Y/N)" you replied, a little more comfortable in his presence after seeing him reprimanding his crew member like that in your defense. "And yes, I like the sea. I love it"

Flint smiled, then looked over to the tall man standing beside him. "Billy, what do you think?"

"We could make it work" the man named Billy said, clearly understanding what his Captain meant without further explanation.

Nodding at the other's words, Flint turned his attention back to you and rested his hands on his hips. "What do you think about joining the Walrus's crew, (Y/N)?" before you could say something, he continued in a firm yet gentle tone. "You have to know that we will be at sea for a long time with no guarantee as to when we will be coming back. We may encounter danger and you will have to work, like every other crew member, to earn your place"

"How does that sound, kid?" Billy who had his arms crossed over his chest, was smiling a bit to you. You mentally decided that you liked him.

In the meantime here's a picture of another ocean/beach themed soap called Sand Bar.

It has black sand, walnut shells and cranberry seeds so I can scrub my skin the way Billy and the crew scrubed barnacles off the hull of the Walrus. Will I also be faster in the water? Probably not.
