Kinda Of A Weird Question But If You Don't Mind Rambling About Your Fandorm/s? (If You Can Ofc)

Kinda of a weird question but if you don't mind rambling about your fandorm/s? (If you can ofc)

Im asking bc I recently asked ppl on my blog to ramble about days because i was (and still am) in a appreciative mood for other people works whit their dorms (yall are just so creative) but it didnt reach a lot of ppl.

(Oh btw im the one who asked about Cornard dorm leader "staff", so sorry for the other question lol)

Sorry if it seems like a weird question, both your dorms and style fascinate me but im too scared too interact properly /lh /pos

Not a weird question at all!! 😳 Thank you for asking! It's very flattering to know you like my dorm enough for that! (〃￣ω￣〃)ゞ Like everonye else I enjoy talking about what I've made, I just get busy with life stuff and can't always answer right away and then forget 😭

The dorm is based on Captain Hook! Tho obvs with a positive spin, like all the other villains.

I was shifting my style at the time but I wanted Piraticus to be super colorful, like a bright summer day! Summer vacation vibes! That it felt refreshing to see, like a bright sea in a hot day that you want to dive in. I think my style has gotten better thanks to practicing with Piraticus! ♪ (´▽｀)

Since Neverland is lawless, and the pirates are also playing, that's why the dorm is mischievous. It took a while to settle on two words to describe, but I finally got them: A dorm that values Trickery and Honesty. But the definition of honesty is tricky in itself, since it's honesty to oneself and not others~

Since growing up is such a big theme in the original, and this one is set in a school, it felt like Piraticus should be the ideal place where teenagers discover themselves without judgement!

(Specially with identity stuff, I wanted to make it a dream place where a lot of our irl social rules don't exist as such, and most people won't judge you for your orientation/choice of clothes/ quirks or ticks, because there's no rules to being with!)

Uniform wise I wanted to give total freedom, since pirates are lawless after all. That and I've been told my outfits are sometimes hard to replicate, or too detailed for some people's skill/time.

I also added the details in a way that's easier to reference, or even trace. Of course you can also just, not add them. Total freedom!

I choose Magenta as the color since Red was taken twice (Heartslabyul and Scarabia). It felt like the closest choice to Hook's color palette, and I like magenta more anyways. The green is due to complementary colors + Tink/Tinkerbell being the vice-leader.

I'm particular with which greens I like, so it has some blue tint to it. Both colors ended being sort on in-between hues.

I still like the Mirror Door I made for Piraticus! I want people to be able to guess the scource just with one look and I think it pulls it off.

The dorm also follows Conrad's version of a pirate. A romantic, childish one. A fantasy that can't be dirtied by actual thing pirates did like ransacking starving people, wanton slaughter, torturing women and children, slave stuff, bestiality, etc.... Almost no one portrays pirates as they actually were, for obvious reasons.

Like, absolutely do pirate crimes, but the fun ones. Steal from the rich (they have better stuff anyways), fight people on your level (challenges are more fun!) and protect children (why not make them part of your crew if they have nowhere else to go? teach them the trade!)

Refusing "adult" cynism and enjoying your dreams, that's the spirit of the dorm.

Fun fact! Conrad was more serious and quiet in the first draft. But then it felt wrong, The Captain of Piraticus should be completely unshamed to be dramatic and have fun, the type that pulls you in with his antics!

That's my ramble ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯ Thank you for reading! ❤
