House Flags
The custom of flying a house flag to identify a merchant ship is much older than you might think, as such flags have been in use since the 16th century. But what are house flags? Well, it is the flag or later painted funnel of a merchant vessel/ steamer that makes it easier to recognise a ship in a harbour and to identify who the ship belongs to.
What exactly was meant by this is somewhat controversial, as some believe that it only refers to the owner of the ship. Others believe it refers back to the companies to which the ship belonged. Since there are these points of contention, the dating is always viewed differently. Some date it as early as the 16th century with the emergence of the early companies or as late as the mid 19th century.
House flag, Royal Mail Lines Ltd., 1955- 67
It is a matter of definition, but it can be said that these flags and later painted funnels of recognition have appeared since the 17th century and are still carried by merchant ships today to indicate their affiliation.

Finally managed to record a bit of David at curtain call 😍
Brilliant seeing this incredible production once again - and getting to see what's different and what isn't 🥹🥰
(Please don't repost ☺️)
#david tennant#west end macbeth#macbeth#Completely failed to record my own videos at the Donmar#since I couldn't get myself to just hold up a camera in their faces rather than joining in on the clapping#so also didn't record the whole thing this time but at least a bit of it ❤️#and ah the handle is from twitter 🙈#also I really need to learn to make better gifs and/or video edits because the quality definitely looks better on my phone than this 🙈#Edit: Looks like he has tried not to kick as high this week from what I have seen 🥺#I hope that's just random and not because they saw the photos and videos and were like maybe try not to show too much#Because my main reason for uploading this was just that he's absolutely adorable and such a delight to watch 🥹#and it's not like there's actually anything to see besides the shorts and his knees which are on full display throughout anyway#and will probably be on display for the filmed version as well#So hope it's just that either I haven't seen any videos from the same angle or it's just random how he ends up doing it#please keep up with the cute twirl and kick DT ❤️

okay but jjk somnophilia is like
gojo "please please pleaaaaase let me put it in while you're sleeping PLEASE i swear i'll make you cum i proooomise please let's try it once pleeaaase. YOU can put it in ME whenever you want!!! any time any place anything you want in any of my holes!! wake me up with it!! it'll be soooo hot" satoru
vs
nanami "i have kink charts for both of us and they have sliding scales and notes section for each one. we can mark hard boundaries for what state of consciousness we want for ourselves or our partners, giving or receiving, what sex acts, etc. we'll set up a safe word and a safe gesture and then we can start trying things out" kento
vs
geto "sorry i fell asleep while eating you out, it will happen again. no, i won't stop eating you out when i fall unconscious. just tear me off your pussy if you don't like it" suguru
#jujutsu kaisen#jjk#jjk imagines#satoru gojo#kento nanami#suguru geto#gojo x reader#nanami x reader#geto x reader#gojo smut#nanami smut#geto smut#i am NOT a nanami girlie do not start expecting nanami content from me. however he is very funny and i love his contrast with gojo LMAOOO#to be clear gojo would not be bugging you about this unless he'd already confirmed you were into it#gojo is probably off putting for some people here but i frankly think he'd just be that desperate and pleading and thats super hot to me#geto tho. geto's just hilarious#again if you're not into somno just don't read this it aint for u. gojo will sound really pushy and creepy#tw: somnophilia#honestly i think nanami would pass out during/before sex just like geto but a lot of the nanami girlies aren't ready for that#the man is like 27 and he looks 40 AND he looked like this when he was??? 23 or smth??#nanami can definitely go super hard during sex but sometimes he will pass out on your lap while eating you out. man is tired.#lemon#sorry for the excess of tags this is such a short little thing and i kinda like how smol it is so i have to ACTUALLY tag tag it lol

I think sonic had a really good time not being playable for once and just being supporting cast for his friend shadow. i just know he was soooo excited to explain the controls and not worry about rings and cheer on his friend (and sometimes be a final boss :3)
#sth#shth#sonic the hedgehog#shadow the hedgehog#sonic the character#fanart#id in alt text#i have. another batch of shadow (game) drawings after this#bc im having a really good time with it#it is definitely somewhere in the top 3 sonic games for me. it's good! and anyone who says otherwise just hates fun#sonic in this game soooo funny he IS so annoying but it is so cute truly#im really bad at the hero mission in space gadget but sonics dialogue is sooooo cute in that..#he's just having fun racing with his friend again 🥺#shadow is having the most intense and miserable experience of his short life and sonic is just like yaayayayay video game yaaay!#anyway. return of my adventure-era sonic design. even tho shth canonically takes place A While after sa2#whatever. they r the same to me

Some sketches I did to try to get a feel for what I want my Rook to look like 🤔
#I'll probably have to change the hair tbh#I haven't seen hair quite like this in the cc videos#the one dreadlocks+half bun hairstyle I saw wasn't quite the right vibe?? too short tbh#and lacking some shape#I just hope someone mods bg3 hairstyles into the game......... I had this one specific bg3 hair mod in mind while I was drawing her#but I'd settle for any long dreadlocks hairstyle tbh 😔#ironically I think I'll end up going for the short one in game 🫠 I feel like the shape of it fits the vibe I'm going for with her#which is like. kind of edgy fjdjjfjf very angular#can you tell I'm eyeing the antivan crow background for my 1rst playthrough........#sketch tag#dragon age#datv#sleepyscribble#I love her face. I definitely want to keep her face exactly like this#I'm only unsure about the scar and the makeup#I was thinking something like a lightning scar on the side of her face#which I could use to come up with something for her backstory later(trauma <3)#story wise I have a general idea of where I want to go with her but it's very like. just vibes rn#I'm thinking of going for angst with 'taken into the crows as a kid + being a crow is a huge part of who she is'#and 'being a crow is something she might want to stop being. but she can't. because she doesn't know how to be anything else'#I started thinking abt that while reading through the backgrounds and I thought yeowch. I have to go with crow now#but other than that I'm also looking forward to playing mostly purple rook so nfncnncncm she'll be an absolute disaster#also in my head her name is renata and her voice sounds a bit like josephine's

Quite frankly still obsessed with the three of them
A little procrastination doodle
#one piece#portgas d ace#sabo#monkey d luffy#it’s 5 am and I do not have the time to be spending on procrastination doodles but that is neither here nor there#ft. my headcanons for their outfits as kiddos but not really because I think this is pretty close to canon#oversized jacket for sabo because I refuse to believe he has worn the same clothes after being a runaway for at least a few years#like kids grow so fast and I can see undersized jacket for that as well but I feel like undersized would just be uncomfy and restricting#straw hat is definitely too big for 7 year old luffy so I hc it goes around his neck more often than not#or sabo or ace gets annoyed at luffy for having his eyes blocked all the time while they’re fighting each other or hunting so they#eventually get luffy to wear it around his neck more#also you can’t convince me that the fuzz on luffy’s shorts is like… actual fur#I think it’s more like very frayed edges of denim if you know what I mean#ace with baggy pants because it’s what he deserves. baggy pants ftw#also probably bigger pockets for his pickpocketing#sabo complains about noble clothes like girls complain about small pockets#‘what are they even supposed to hold. why are they so tight. this is just them trying to get us to buy expensive bags’

Ever wondered what the skelebro’s house would look like in 3D? Well look no further than my school art project!!
The kitchen and Papyrus’s room can fold in on themselves (yes I figured out how to make Papyrus’s racecar bed to be 3D AND fold up, I’m a genius, I know ✨)
#If I had more time I definitely would’ve added more#It’s just my STUPID WITCH OF AN ART TEACHER makes projects due within a short timespan!!#But anywaysssss here’s sans and papyrus’s house :]#undertale#sans undertale#sans#papyrus#artists on tumblr#papyrus undertale#undertale sans#Paper art#my art#Undertale papyrus#skelebros

"Everyone plays hide and seek that day"
And if anyone asks, it's not hide and seek. It's stealth training
it is entirely stealth training and nothing else, of course
and it actually ends up being mutually beneficial! a good several of your siblings work in the Marechaussee Phantom and are more than happy to put their sneaking and hunting skills to the test- the Melusine are actually winning more rounds than the Fatui are, with their heightened senses and silent steps. most of the time you prefer to spectate, either from your spot on the grass or in Foul Legacy's lap, watching your friends slowly creep up behind one agent or another before leaping up and pouncing! mostly they just clamber up the agent's back and hang from their shoulders, though, no actual damage is done. Childe's subordinates have to bite back their laughter whenever they manage to carefully dislodge a Melusine, holding the little sea slug creatures in their outstretched arms and watching them valiantly kick their stubby legs
Foul Legacy holds you comfortably, keeping a close eye on everyone and allowing you to idly fidget with his claws. a few other Fatui agents wander into the mix, their uniforms neater and more refined, and they all do a double take when they see and your scars and Melusine self. you receive a couple more bows today, each new acquaintance sweeping off their hat or putting a hand over their heart as a gesture of sincerity, and you incline your head deeply in return. Legacy nods approvingly, content with the slowly growing respect you're getting, and the sound turns into a soft, happy purr when you reach up and ruffle his fluffy hair with your mittenish hands
on the edge of Fontaine, Arlecchino wonders where all of her operatives have gone
#genshin impact#childe#tartaglia#foul legacy#foul legacy childe#genshin tartagalia#genshin childe#genshin tartaglia#sagau#genshin sagau#DEFINITELY just stealth training#with a little fun sprinkled in#but childe swears that was UNINTENTIONAL#for the fatui agents at least#the melusine should always have fun#short scenario#good evening#chit chat#anon

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that su’s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.
two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voices—it’s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise they’re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!
#i don’t know if pay rates differ per networks#but a.ivi and s.urrashu have said that they needed to work outside of su in order to make sufficient funds#it only makes me wonder what other ways su suffered from a lower budget#that we as the audience never got to see#in the vein of the too-little characters complaint#another part of that is that low-stakes episodes should’ve been abt the main cast instead of the townies#like last one out of beach city and too short to ride vs restaurant wars and kiki’s pizza delivery service#i definitely see that especially since that isn’t budget related#nor would it seem to be network related (even if cn had an ‘episodic episodes’ quota it could still be abt the gems#(another side note: /would/ cn even have a requirement that the show make episodes that can be watched standalone?#this is a question for the people who were around when su was airing#what episodes often got rerun?#was it the townie eps or the lore eps?#for example i heard that su once did a ‘peridot event’ where they just reran peridot episodes#which had eps that skip around in the show#did they even care about airing the story so that it made sense anyways?#id get it if the low stakes townie episodes were the ones getting rerun))#but i have such a boring view on that which is i think it’s simply because the creators like townie eps#like in interviews r.ebecca s.ugar has said she’s the type to be really invested in background characters#answers in interviews have been crafted in ways to hide what’s really going on though tbf#prime example of this is rebecca and ian saying the wedding being interrupted was meant to follow the common trope#when later in the art book they said that it was bc cn rejected the ep bc it ‘wasn’t interesting enough’#both could simultaneously be true! it’s a psychology thing though where people make up nice-sounding explanations behind what they create#in retrospect because they want it to be thought out in such a nice way they believe in it#the bigger problem is that not matter how many episodes there are of them#it can be hard for ppl to be invested in the townies the same way they are invested in the main cast#i’m sure that a million writers have made surefire advice on how to get an audience to care about characters#but off the top of my head i think it’s because 1. most don’t have strong motivations to get truly invested in#(exception is ronaldo but people find him too annoying to care about him)#okay i had more points and explanations but i hit the tag limit and idk if anyone is actually reading this so bye
