Off to the deepest caverns of the old harbour, where time stopped working long ago.

The Starless Sea is one of my all time favourites, such a beautiful story and I love Erin Morgenstern's writing 💙

(of sorts)
This concept came into existence quite organically. I had been playing around with dressing up as a time travelling pirate for a few faires in the last years. When I dyed my hair pink for a casual cosplay of Mirabel from the novel "The Starless Sea" at Gamescom, I put on my pirate hat just for fun and discovered I enjoyed the mixed look. So I tweaked some threads of the story and made up an alternate ending. (There's an earlier post about that; referenced in the "Captain Fate" highlight.)
Currently, it's a shifting amalgam of my original time travelling pirate, alternate universe Mirabel, and the pirate from the story, with a hint of guardian gold dust.
I won't go full-on cosplayer mode; this is simply a way for me to casually enjoy myself at events, and a creative outlet. There are plans for a few additions to the outfit and accessories to fit into different contexts. The hair colour is likely to change over time, too.
As to why I'm calling this persona "Captain Fate", well, go read the book (or ask me).

One of my favourites of the pictures @raerreki took of me last Saturday.
(Please ignore the glasses; these are simply my normal glasses and not meaningful to the character in any way.)

Detail shot of my necklaces. A mix of part of my usual pirate stuff (in this case, the astrolabe) and two of the pendants I wore for my Mirabel cosplay in summer. After all, Captain Fate is sort of an amalgam of my existing time travelling pirate concept and Mirabel. An alternate timeline to the ending of "The Starless Sea".

(Yes, I'm keeping that concept name for now.)
Thank you so much to @eosandy_ for the pictures and making me feel welcome despite my not very elaborate outfit. Also huge thanks to the folks who encouraged me to give it a try.

What if Time wasn't right yet and Fate inherited the ship, to sail the golden tides until a new harbour would emerge.
What if Mirabel became the next pirate, changing the story.
Just a fun little concept and an attempt to figure out what sort of self-portraits work for me.
