Suddenly Struck With A Need To Explain To You How Boat Pronouns Work (I Work In The Marine Industry).

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.

Okay hear me out, I know we have a canon dnd episode in the show... but hear me out!!

Please!!

In my mind Lance would definitely multiclass into many things. Starting as a Bard (College of Glamor), the going into Fighter (Gunslinger Subclass), and finally dipping a bit into Rouge (Traveller or Arcane Trickster subclass)

Keith is a little silly. He'd definitely be a Rouge in many ways, but lets go out of the box. Hear me out, Bloodhunter (the lycanthropy subclass specifically). It's just the galra in him okay, it's a bit silly! Could be proficient in great sword or duel weapons & combat.

Pidge is definitely a half half multiclass, part Artificer (Artillerist or Battlesmith subclass) and Barbarian (Path of the Totem Warrior). Idk it just fits.

Hunk is 100% Cleric (Order or Peace Domain). This is coming from someone who mains clerics! I love them and Hunk would be an amazing and so funny Cleric. Definitely carries a staff around with him, not help with spells he just looks cool with it.

Shiro I know he's a Paladin in the show but it does fit him very well. Though he probably switches from Oath of Crown/Redemption to Oathbreaker through the campaign. I could also see him multi classing into Monk (idk which subclass). Could be proficient in great sword weapons or hand to hand combat combat.

Allura would definitely be a sorcerer (Draconic Bloodline) and early on multiclass into ranger (Drakewarden or Horizon Walker). Later one she may add Druid (Circle of Stars or Dreams) on, idk fully but it can fit.

Coran would be a Wizard (Order of Scribes or School of Conjuration?). He knows what he's doing and yet isn't gifted in his abilities like Allura is. It fits to me lmao

And fuck it, Lotor would be a multi class as well. Part Bloodhunter (Ghostslayer subclass), Part Bard (College of Whispers), and part Sorcerer (Aberrant Mind subclass). Would be proficient in duel weapons and combat.

One more.. Matt! He would be half Rouge ( and half Ranger (Hunter or Gloom Stalker) :D

To state these are all my opinions and midnight brain thoughts. Would love to hear others ideas :D

May make this into an au? Idk

Shiro: Would you rather kill Lance or-

Keith: Lance.

Shiro: I didn’t even give you the other option…

Keith: I don’t need to hear it.

Lance: I’m feeling a tad bit unsafe..
