#but u can prob pirate it

[pitrsattabhaadmeinjaa]

guys Khilona and Ankahi from Ajeeb Dastaans messed me up good. in different ways, one scarred my mind permanently and the other made me want to cry and sob and wish i had that man, but they both are heartbreaking.

i fucking love this collection of short films so much.

"Am I a fool to trust you?"

Words spoken across the sea, across a life time, to a former self and at the precipice of change. Astrea couldn't remember every day spent with the pirate, but that conversation engraved her memory and settled to stay — haunting her during moments of indecision, easing her through loneliness, through loss, lifting a match to her magic when she needed it most.

"Am I a fool to trust you?" Yes, he'd told her then. Perhaps, she'd wondered since. And now, where would she be without it?

Shadow listens to two people

1- Rouge (immediately)

2- Sonic (reclusively)

LMFAOOO YEAH I CAN DEFINITELY SEE THIS

Team Darks dynamic hits me as like a familial/Team made up of your best friends kinda bond. Like Shadow and Omega are gonna listen to their Team Leader Rouge 95% of the time on missions. (If not they’re probably had a collectively dumb idea lmfao) But like yeah they would totally not listen to G.U.N if given the choice between them or Rouge. (SCREW THOSE GUYS HSJSJSJSJ, Rouge uses all their passwords to pirate movies for movie nights, Omega uses their power as a charger, and Shadow goes into the lounge for free coffee beans truuuuuust)

But like when they’re home (AND YES I HEADCANON THEY LIVE IN A LIL APARTMENT TOTALLY LEGALLY AND ROUGE PROBS HAS A SECRET CLUB BELOW THE BUILDING OR SMTH U CAN PRY THAT FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS) it’s ANYONES say as long as it a good idea, aka mostly Rouge but you get the point.

When it comes to Sonic tho, well Shadow respects him sure but there no way in hell he’s gonna ADMIT that Sonic has good ideas cuz like, nah he doesn’t… does he? Oh gosh is Shadow listening to Sonic’s advice subconsciously during fights or whenever he’s just thinking to himself about choosing his own path? Yes, yes he does lmao.

Dividers from ; @y-yushin & @anitalenia

—It almost felt like a reward every single piece of it. Starting with the fact you were apart of the straw hat pirate crew. Luffy claimed that you were all the best including you. most of the time dismissing him with a smile and a small “thank you!!” Then going back to your books and writings. thinking back to the fights you’ve been though you were grateful for having your powers what was more important was knowledge knowing every single piece of information that you found valuable was important to you and you would do anything to obtain it. Even if that included staying up late at night sleeping all during the day which at first no one thought was odd just assuming you were like Zoro. At night was when you did your true calling the most knowledge obtained from the Stars making charts, maps, and hypothesis’s about the moon and why does it change every single night. Mind running through thousands of ideas on how. Most of the time you would ire yourself out so much that you would fall asleep on deck but someone would always awake in the night to check most of the time it was Sanji and Zoro. Whenever Zoro found you he would grumble stings of curses out of his mouth when he saw you. He didn’t understand why you would leave yourself out in the open just to get more information about the stars but he would rather die then let you sit out in the cold. Sanji was the same way he would find you most of the time after Luffy tries to sneak into the fridge and he can’t go back to sleep. Tonight is no different from the rest your slumped on the deck your book is closed secure so the wind wont open it with little bits of pages sticking out of it your notebook stacked on top as well. Sanji & Zoro both cant sleep tonight instead of arguing with each other the just drink and get to know each other better. Surprisingly there laughing together playfully bantering each other when Sanji’s expression changes and goes outside Zoro doesn’t know what he’s doing at first but then it clicks in his head you were probably asleep on the deck again. He follows Sanji out the kitchen door seeing Sanji picking you up bridal style already you look peaceful its like your boy knows that Sanji’s got you and that your safe. While he’s climbing up the stars when he passes zoro he stops “Can you get her books I would usually would get them but your here to help me this time”. He wants to roll his eyes but he can’t and for once he just listen maybe it’s the alcohol flowing through his system or maybe he knows how important your books are to you it’s your dream. During the day most of the time nami watched over you she would distract from your books claiming how you both needed a break. Dragging Ussop(he wanted to go) as you guys al go shopping and play a little dress up. By you guys its mostly nami and ussop finding clothes to give you and you to try on while they give you there opinions (Ussop has good fashion taste cant change my mind (u prob could but pls don’t). Nami Had this beautiful Long body con dress the base of the dress was a peachy pink with coral all over it the coral being in all different shapes the colors being blue, purple and ifferent shades of pink as well. “Go try it on it’s gorgeous and goes perfect with your skin tone ” taking the fabric from her hands you go to the dresseing room sort of excited to try it on. when you finished putting you examined your self in the mirror in the dressing room it was the perfect length on the floor but not enough to drag on your feet to annoy you but it hugged everywhere and it just felt perfect you didn’t really care if you have to go into debt for nami to buy this dress it would be worth it. While opening the door holding your hair in a low pony with no ponytail holder some curly staying in the front. Nami and Ussop mouth dropped to the floor when they saw you “What is it bad” you confidence going down slowly but it accelerates when nami says “It’s perfect on you we have to buy it it was literally made for you” you smile at her thanking her for the compliment “I agree it’s an amazing dress for you”.

—When going back in the dressing room as you put your other clothes on thinking what would Zoro and Sanji think about the dress you shiver at the thought of the reaction and shake it from your mind. When you guys head back to the ship it’s not loud and that worries you automatically as you speed up your pace to the going merry. Going to the kitchen is ur first stop and it was correct. You see Luffy, Sanji and Zoro all cooped up around something but you don’t know what “HMH” clearing your throat to get their attention. The all look in shock not expecting you to be there. Luffy hides the object behind his back “We thought you guys were still shopping?” “Well we're back now” You look at all three of the they seem nervous. Luffy is sweating hard “What do you have behind your back Luffy?” “Nothing” You don’t believe him so you place the shopping back on the counter and sit at the table with them “What’s the problem guys you seem nervous did i do something wrong?” They all looked at each other silently communicating “No we just don’t want you to get mad at us” it was really confusing why would you get mad? “I won’t promise” Luffy looks at you one more time just to make sure he brings the object in front of him and on the table it’s your book your book with everything in it. Part of you wants to get mad but you don’t “where did you find this?” “It was on the table fore you left I saw it and wondered what it was about didn’t know it was yours” Zoro states with his harms crossed looking at you “It’s okay but are any of the pages missing” you say examining every page that you could get your hands on slightly worried that some valuable information could be missing “No I made sure that nothing happened to it” Sanji blows the smoke out of his mouth “What happened?” Nami ask as she enters the room “Nothing just my books” Ussop comes behind you one of your books was open and he’s peeking at it over your shoulder “woah you wrote all of this?” you honestly didn’t think that it was a lot not enough knowledge so it wasn’t a lot. Nami comes and looks as well “Wow it really is a lot is that why your always up at night writing?” You start to feel a little bit on the spot which it doesn’t really matter that its you its just the subject “Yea but I could write more i dont feel like it’s enough” Zoro thinks to himself ‘what will be enough for her’ “Why it’s it not enough you write like your running out of time”…………

Part 2 coming soon ( i couldn’t finish my stomach hurts and it feels like i have the throw up)(update i threw up and i’m sick ass hell)

hey ling, hope ur doing well and was wondering if i could ask some advice - totally ok if no but. im currently trying to screen record a cdrama right now so i can rewatch it later w/o paying, but i only recorded one episode and it's taken up all my icould and google drive storage 😭 i was wondering if u knew anything i could do, since i feel like r educated in the ways of 🏴‍☠️ 😭

screenrecording is the least efficient way of doing it i think :( ive never tried to do it for more than maybe a few minutes-long clips (most are around 30-40 seconds!), and doing it bloats your memory while also being worse quality. now the last thing may not be a huge deal (i personally dont mind if sth is 4k or 480/720p, esp since older films and dramas simply are harder to find in full hd), but storage efficiency is what you're here for so!!

delete things (files, programs, games, etc) you don't use (anymore), as that probably already opens up a ton of space. there are programs that can help you with looking up which files and shit you use/open the least.

when pirating, ofc use a trusted site and client but also check which files are the smallest and just get that one (unless youre a gifmaker or a real stickler for hd, 720p will suffice imo). tv series in my experience run about 20-30gb if theyre 1080, so even smaller if it's not as hd! google drive only gives 15gb but i think if you compress it into a zip file it miiiiiight fit? if not you can just split it between gdrive and your icloud :)!

an alternatuve option would be to find a streaming wrbsite that had the series but not paywalled, it's less work but the downside is that you can't access this offline (the main reason i like owning (digital) copies)

last but not least, and unfortunately this is the best way to have enough storage: invest in an external hard disk. if you're planning on having more tv series (and perhaps movies) on ur pc/laptop, the best and easiest way to make sure you (almost) never run out of storage is to just... buy more! i splurged on a 5tb external hard disk with bday-christmas money but obviously even having a 256gb/512gb one will be enough if you're not obsessed with putting entire filmographies on there like me djfngmv even getting a bunch of 32/64/128gb usb sticks will prob help out, and while it absolutely is an investment, if you're already paying for a subscription this is a surefire way to make sure you get your money's worth in case they take it off the platform or whatever (looking at how guardian got the boot from literally every streaming platform including yt 😭😭😭)

anyway i hope this helps!! :3

hiya, i just read ur 2022(i think??) post about israel hands and the connection with israel hynde, and i was wondering if u remembered ur source?? i cant find anything linking him to cpt. bartholomew roberts, or any specifics regarding his personal characteristics (such as the leg injury u mentioned). ive gone through execution records and found his notation of his trial and hanging, but nothing else. no probs if u dont have it anymore or dont recall, or got the info another way. thanks!!

Hi, I can still remember four of them because I wrote them down somewhere else than the others. Unfortunately, I lost my notebook, which contained all the sources, texts and so on. But here are the four sources.

would you think Zoro would have a flamingo as a pet?

no but u kno who i think would have a flamingo as a pet??? sanji. dem legs sir. leggy leggy legs. and honestly, since it's one piece, he will prob also train the flamingo to do kick attacks and they'll be...

BLACK-PINK LEGS DUO (in ur area, if u kno what i mean)

for zoro, for some STUPID reason, i can see him having one of those like bright green pirate parakeets that just like. talks too much and swears him out and he'd have arguments with it all the time.

[omenics]

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐌𝐄𝐒! , vil, leona, kalim, jamil, malleus .

› ..ur stupid ass matching couple costumes 🙄🙄. slight fem reader. — pov el writes again bc its october aka the best month tbh

VIL.

u’d go as the most generic things ever lets be real

devil and angel? black and white swan? nurse and doctor?? thats what you have done idc

gomez and morticia addams would be cool… but rook prob suggested it so no (he goes as thing. the fucking hand.)

anyways even if youre the most basic bitches alive you still look good everyone knows it

oh forcing him to go trick or treating? more candy bc youre the best looking mfs out there. oh you go to a halloween costume party? BEST COSTUME AWARD GOES TO YOU.

in conclusion vil makes every costume known to MAN look good because its vil

LEONA.

tbh… pirates…. i can see him as a pirate….

you would force him to go trick or treating

spoiler he steals the kids candy and scares them bc i know he would in my heart

but ur like “leona why tf did u steal their candy give it back” and he goes “bc i love you” and then youre not mad anymore bc its leona and he said he loves u

get urself a partner who would steal kids candy for u

KALIM.

THOSE DUMB LITTLE COSTUMES WHERE HES LIKE COSMO AND YOURE WANDA IK IM RIGHT

u both have the TIME OF YOUR LIFE

yk damn well he has a whole ass party for the holiday and good lord is he into it

JAMIL.

no costumes. at all. you hand out candy.

it becomes a problem when he gives out more candy to the kids’ costumes he likes the most

like who puts the most effort into it. who has the most original costume. who has the coolest? the cutest? the scariest? the ugliest? the nicest?

it comes to a point where u take away his handing out candy privileges bc hes gone through the whole bowl not even 8 kids in smh

has made kids fist fight over the amount of candy he gave them

MALLEUS.

YOU GO AS GHOSTS

you get white sheets and be ghosts

think michael myers when he puts that girls bfs glasses on after killing him wearing that white sheet

but not in the pinterest ‘halloween aesthetic ghost’ way but in the ‘my boyfriend is a fucking idiot’ kinda way yk

you both would hand out candy but this mf gives out too much so u turn out the lights not even 1 and a half hours later :( but dont be mad hes trying his best okay

OH NO ELIMINATION SHUT UP gonna speed this up

love how parutan is saving herself so at the cut, i love her mochi mochi parutan

lol this is kind of fun so many takes lol

lol this is kinda funny

everyone calling their names is cute

their faces as well, so cute

awwwww

i like to see their emotive faces

you know? this is what makes me "i don't want anyone to get eliminated" since day 1... well i had exceptions, but still, even if i had them, i wanted them to debut here as well...

they left the eliminated ones talking, damn

more elimination, speeding up again

technically skipped the elimination...

okay, debut evaluation, so last step

did they wrote free debut camp instead of pre debut camp?!

live stream (but for international viewers? what? pirate i guess)

these are new songs as well? i guess

i think i'll like sozoijo who ever is in that group

this way to choose song and position is messed up tho over rank 19th can move the rest, is so messed up, but okay, rules are rules

i love how they kinda tease everyone if they want to

i love how Suzu went all "gomennasai" for moving parutan

they're so cute so apologizing so much when changing someone

Kokona stop, but u cute

Ayane taking sub vocal 1 is a shocker but she's so cute reasoning it

lol Keiko reactions to her change are funny

Ayane like "hm... wanted to be sub vocal, Miu..."

Kassa taking main vocal for the lyrics is so Kassa!

Ayane frustrated for sub 6, but at least she wanted to be sub vocal, not main...

best sub vocal you'll be i think

Koto, you're wrong there's no 50% chance to debut, there's 55% chance to debut

PARUTAN KAWAII!!!! if u don't debut, i'd love u to go knock on up front's door for an audition (but somehow doubt she could get into H!P...?)

omg i'm so attached to all these girls!

that was all, i'm crying, bye

[longeyelashedtragedy]

granit and uhhhhhhhhh šime 😭

i was legit just thinking about šime earlier today 😭

@colorsofmyseason also asked me granit so i will answer š's here and then tag u in that one!

favorite thing about them: man, of everyone who's made an appearance on my favs list, he is absolutely the most mysterious, both because he is mysterious but also because he would rarely do an interview in a language i can understand (tyoma is monolingual but somehow very understandable anyway 😂). šime speaks spanish and english but would only really do interviews in croatian or italian i feel like. so i feel like i know so little about him! but of course: he has the absolute most beautiful footballer tattoos (that BUTTERFLY!!!), fantastic taste in music, and his sense of style--a little more alternative/edgy than other footballers. he's clearly a guy who did his own thing without seeking a lot of external validation, and it was fascinating how he comes across as very mysterious but very steady at once. he's also very uniquely beautiful--there is that "you can tell a lot about a person based on whether they think šime or dejan is hotter" concept 😂 and the whole tungelr knows where i stand on this, but, damn if šime's slutty pirate/širen self isn't captivating to stare at. i miss him SO much and think constantly about how he essentially gave his whole career to the 2018 world cup without realizing.

something else is how humble and normal he always came across. of course you can only know about these people what they put on social media, but back when he was active on there, he was never vacationing to dubai or ibiza or on some yacht--he'd go home to Zadar and repair old cars with a grungy tshirt tied around his head.

least favorite thing about them: that he knocked up some Instagram Hot Lady and got together with her! and disappeared off social media and is made of literal glass! promise i'm not showing favoritism--i don't think šejan had a dramatic and bad breakup, but i think science kind of proves that the breakup was driven by šime bc dej is persistent as fuck and clearly a very devoted long distance boyfriend 😂

favorite line: omg i can't remember the exact translation of it, but it was during the wc when he was like "you film me doing everything, you'd probably film me taking a piss" and dej was like "THAT'S RIGHT!!!" i mean, the šejan lajvs had a ton of classics that i could go back and find, but i'm contractually obligated to say that one

brOTP: ŠLUKA! i loved their drunk asses together at the Slutty Pirate Party in zadar after the wc

there's a lotta good photos but obviously this one has širtless content so... I also feel like šime and domo would make a great brotp.

notp (switching these next two around): probs will piss off some section of gen z tumblr saying this kind of thing but...his girlfriend/fiancee/wife/whoever. just...Not feelin the vibe

otp: i mean...

to see šejan, two grown ass men, in hysterical giggles in their own private world, is something else entirely. those 2 really had something going on. they kind of had "read each other's minds and finish each other's sentences" vibes, except they were usually laughing too hard to even finish a sentence. at the same time, šime's calm, even energy was obviously so healthy for dejan's uh, in the words of Mo, stormy head. it breaks my heart that it is over.

(PLUS. when deki said šime should get his name tattooed on him on šime's pornographic workout livestream...)

(i think all my other photos are on insta somewhere)

random headcanon: i don't think i have one? in mare liberum, i want to figure out the headcanon about how he uh...got Cursed to become...what he is (NO SPOILERS even though i think mare liberum only has one reader lol).

unpopular opinion: idk what would be unpopular? i think that like, his playing when he wasn't injured was super underrated.

song i associate with them: so these are songs i associate with him because i've seen him listening to them:

badr hari by grše | california love by dr dre/2pac | i'm still standing by elton john (LOL) | klinka by jala brat (the song in the background of the Pissing Video).

jgb edit of deixa a gira girar by os tincoãs because i listened to this on repeat while writing 5.VII lol. i think i wrote the entire bathroom porn scene in 1 sitting and i needed something awesome to power me through

and then also... song for the siren by this mortal coil | o meu amor marinheiro performed by carminho (this song makes me cRYYYYyyY...i think it played a big part in inspiring mare liberum)

favorite picture:

ok i know this seems like a copout because it doesn't have his face, but...there's something about it

[indescriptequilibrium]

popsci is a horrid wasteland of mostly hastily scribbled together pseudo-scientific cash-grab self-help shit but if u rly overlook the whole genre u miss out on broadening ur ways of thinkin cuz there's no way u'll ever actually sit down in a class n learn of these concepts except thru cultural osmosis (tryin to sweeten the sting w/ optimism here lol)

anyway b4 u solidify ur view of the sacred inner workings of a human mind n infallibility of memory n rationality of any decision-making anyone has ever done u should rly entertain n educate urself w/ joshua foer's "moonwalking with einstein: the art and science of remembering everything" (horrid anglo publisher name but i prommy the name is actually more relevant to the topic than u'd think (finnish translation was just "kaiken muistamisen taito")) where he talks of memory thru the lens of memory competitions (remembering pi decimals doenst mean u dont forget to drink ur tea b4 it's cold) n daniel kahneman's "thinking, fast and slow", which i would force everyone to read if i just could. it has played a large part in making me who i am n informed me of the way i interact w/ ppl n make decisions (or so i hope). mostly it taught me the hard cold fact i had already suspected to be the case as a teen: economics is a fake science.

debated on mentioning it but i have looked all of this up so i'd hate to know n blindside someone: both authors r jewish n while foer seems to mostly just be interested in some philantropy to israel thru orgs that make no mention of the plight of palestinians on their websites, kahneman (on account of havin been born in tel aviv) served in idf's psychology department (of which he's critical about in the book (by the standards an israeli scholar can be critical of idf)). i'm not labeling them capital zed zionists but not much evidence to the contrary either. i think u should still be able to appreciate these books for their content, especially kahneman as he does give a somewhat critical view of idf as an organization from the inside (an increasingly rare thing). it's a very small portion of the book so make of that what u may. but i think neither of these succesful authors particularly need ur money so libraries n piracy r ur friends here. foer's book u can probs check out at a library (popular popsci bestseller), kahneman u probs have to pirate or wait for (or ask for my copy) since it's actually a book that economists n other social sciences students r required to read for entry exams n stuff n then discard n scrub any memory of out of their brains as the scourge of economics takes over like a parasitical infection that eats grey matter. go figure, life in cognitive dissonance etc

tysm for the tag @his-mochi-cheeks your list is such a nice and groovy vibe, I enjoyed it a lot (also hiiii we haven't talked in a while I've missed ya hahahah XD)

be prepared mine will prob be a lot of 80s bc I've been a having a thing with them since NYE XP

Miss Me - Culture Club somehow I really like listening to this one esp in the mornings

Human Zoo - Boy George/Culture Club this is such a hopeful song! we're all able to find love one day <3

The Dive - Culture Club it's such a wonderful melody and the sea vibes <3

Antmusic - Adam and the Ants THIS ONE SLAPS SO HARD OKAY!!! it's so funky!!! the janky singing!! the lyrics with So unplug the jukebox and do us all a favour, that music's lost its taste so try another flavour, Antmusic!

Prince Charming - Adam and the Ants another whacky singing EPIC DRUMS and more nice lyrics ridicule is nothing to be scared of

Chilly Down - David Bowie from the movie Labyrinth - I LOVE the weird background singing!! right up my alley hehehe (altho I wish I'd know what they are singing hahaha)

Our House - Madness lovely music and singing about family shenanigans one can relate to <3 Somehow I love the fact they just wrote this everyday topic song instead of a love song or smth :3 also saxophone hehehe

Stand and Deliver - Adam and the Ants I love this a loooot!! the fashion! the whacky singing again!! also drrrrrums!!! pirates!!! and the lyrics: I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention The devil take your stereo and your record collection (oh-oh) The way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension Stand and deliver your money or your life Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife I'm the dandy highwayman so sick of easy fashion

Krone der Schöpfung - Die Prinzen okay that one is a surprise but yeah the song slaps imo B) it's about how humans think they are better beings than everything else :3

Sold - Boy George OH BOI YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS that one drives me insaaane in a good way! it's so big and grim and oh BOI the similarities to 'Fame' are PEAK with his voice for me. also the "being sold" part can somehow be applied to so many things and situations

So there you have it XDD 10 80s songs I'm going insane over rn - also I checked 9/30 song in my 'on repeat' are not from the 80s.... we could've had some My Chem or mcyt stuff XDD
