I need everyone to know that the ship Götheborg, the world's largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship, answered a distress call the other day.

Imagine waiting for the coast guard or whatever to show up and instead a replica of 18th century merchant ship pulls up and tows you to the coast.

Small town culture is knowing that there are Old Folks with strange nicknames but never knowing the stories behind them.

Of course, I made the mistake of asking why everyone calls this one guy Brickaday and it turns out that he worked at a brickyard for 40 years, stealing exactly one brick every day and making no particular efforts to conceal the theft. Nobody thought anything of it until years later he was discovered to have built three houses.

His boss is said to have shrugged and made some remarks about the importance of coming up with a plan and sticking to it.

I‘m trying to arrange my face into an appropriate approximation of silent bafflement and failing miserably.

do you think it would annoy authors if i keep commenting on their works that i have already left kudos and comments before?

(there’s this author where i love to read their series but it’s left unfinished. i keep thinking of leaving comments again maybe to somehow reignite their will to finish it but i also think it’s rather rude, selfish, or mean of me if i do that

i don’t mean any offense. i haven’t commented, asking when they’ll update again, but i keep rereading the series and each time, i’m a little heartbroken that it’s missing it’s conclusion. that’s why i’m asking opinions here if it’s okay to leave comments about how i love the series so much again)

NO COMMENT AS MANY TIMES AS UR HEART DESIRES PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WE ARE ALL DESPERATE FOR VALIDATION PLEASE

How I join skeins

Honestly learning about food and culture keeps leading to a lot of interesting revelations like of COURSE Sokka won’t shut up about meat, as someone based on the Inuit people his diet would be 99% meat and his body would be a lot worse at getting proper nutrients from vegetables and grains and the like. Like it’s also the “haha sokka likes meat joke” but he and katara are likely not getting anywhere near as much nutrients from not meat meals, especially because when they do get meat, it’s a lot leaner then they would be used to. Katara is just likely better at bottling it up then Sokka. Sure, they would be used to eating some plants, like foraged berries, but their bodies are much more adapted to heavy fatty meat based diets.

Hey wow so you know how Sokka loses all his weapons over the course of the series (not just his boomerang and space sword in the final episode, but also his spear, machete, club…) and how he slowly leans into working as the group’s planner? You ever think about how he physically and literally loses the ideals that were keeping him tied to seeing his worth in the war, and began to see himself as his own person who could survive this war & live in a better world? How he let go of his toxic masculinity and started to embrace himself as he was, but he had to use those weapons in his own creative, non-destructive way, and eventually he lost them entirely? How he helped the war effort through creation, by making plans & traps & inventions & armor, not by destroying things? You ever think about how he replaced his sword with a paintbrush in the final scene? You ever… you ever…

Do you think the people who design modern sewing machines in plastic cases ever feel insignificant because of it? knowing that they're making machines with the lifespan of a dog when they could (if they'd been born a few generations earlier) be making machines with the lifespan of a Galapagos tortoise?

The SS Warrimoo, a passenger steamship traveling from Vancouver to Australia, was silently knifing its way across the mid-Pacific waters. The navigator had just finished calculating a star fix and handed the results to Captain John DS. Phillips.

The Warrimoo's coordinates were LAT 0º 31' N, LONG 179 30' W. The date was December 31, 1899. "Know what this means?" First Mate Payton announced, "We're only a few miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line."

Captain Phillips was prankish enough to seize the opportunity to do the nautical feat of a lifetime. He summoned his navigators to the bridge to double-check the ship's position. He altered his course slightly to focus directly on his target. He then altered the engine's speed.

The calm weather and clear night worked to his advantage. At midnight, the SS Warrimoo rested on the Equator, exactly where it had crossed the International Date Line. The ramifications of this odd arrangement were numerous.

The ship's bow was in the Southern Hemisphere, in the middle of summer. The stern was in the Northern Hemisphere, in the midst of winter. The date on the aft portion of the ship was December 31, 1899. The date on the forward half of the ship was January 1, 1900. The ship experienced multiple days, months, years, seasons, and centuries simultaneously.

*me scrolling through my own blog* wow, what a vibe

[littlemissfandomworld]

sometimes I read a radioactively bad take and just sit there like "not only do you not understand this story but you fundamentally do not understand how stories work in general, and you have never considered that your discord with every piece of fiction you come across could possibly be a problem on your end"

Do they know that reading is not mandatory? Nobody is forcing them to read?

In time travel movies, when the time traveler asks 'What year is this?!?' they're always treated like they're being weird for asking.

When in reality, if you go 'What year is this?!?' people will just say '2024. Crazy huh.' and you go 'Wtf where has my youth gone.'

And if you ask 'And what month??' people won't judge you, they'll just go like 'SEPTEMBER!!! Can you believe it?!?!' and you go 'WHAT?!? Last time I checked we were in May?!?'

It's a Thursday night and I've got nothing better to do than make something that uses whatever I have around already.
