This boat house is so cute. The 1950 home in Portland, OR has been remodeled and has 2bds, 1.5ba. $350K + $480mo. HOA. The home is on the Columbia River.
Lively orange door.
Entrance foyer. I think that door may be the half bath.
Isn't this a beautiful living room? It even has a fireplace. I've never seen a boathouse like this- no trace of nautical decor. Love the lights around the doorway.
What a lovely dining room- it's so large, light, and airy. Love the round window and doors to the deck.
Love the blue lights under the kitchen cabinets. The kitchen has nice white cabinets and quartz counters. All new appliances and a subway tile backsplash. I know that some people like a big kitchen, but this is the perfect size for me.
Extra storage in the built-in pantry.
The primary bedroom is so pretty and surprisingly big.
The bath has a beautiful sink and tiles.
The 2nd bd. is currently being used as a den.
This is nice, what a huge deck.
Wow, so much space for summer living.
Stairs to the water and a little garden. Plus, a hot tub.
Friendly waterfowl stroll along the piers.

all of the mlp infection AUs i've seen floating around reawakened the sleeping horsegirl deep within my soul so of course i had to draw ponies about it (and watch all of mlp:fim but thats neither here nor there LOL) big ID incoming!
[ID: the first six drawings depict the "mane six" from my little pony; friendship is magic. in order, rarity, applejack, pinkie pie, fluttershy, rainbow dash, and twilight sparkle. all of them are posed in slight variants of facing left and holding their far front leg up. the seventh image is all of the previous drawings layered onto one long canvas to compare the heights of the characters.
rarity is a light bluish-white unicorn with a dark bluish-purple mane that is voluminous and curled. she is drawn like a classical unicorn, with a long tail and a tuft of tail hair that is the same as her mane at the end, as well as a small beard and cloven hooves. her eyes are blue and heavily lidded, with light blue eye-shadow. her cutie mark is three light-blue diamond-shaped gems surrounded by blue sparkles. the center gem has a heart facet in the middle.
applejack is a stocky burnt-orange and brown earth pony drawn to resemble a clydesdale horse. she has a light blonde mane and tail, both of which are shortly cropped, and her tail is wrapped in red fabric at its base. she is drawn with appaloosa markings and a white blaze on her nose. she is wearing her signature cowboy hat and a yellow-green bandana with paisley patterning. her eyes are green and she has a determined expression. her cutie mark is a trio of apples; one red, one green, and one a lighter yellow-green. the red apple has a heart shape cut into it.
pinkie pie is a small and stocky pink earth pony drawn to resemble a miniature horse. her mane and tail are curly and textured and have streaks of light pink through the base magenta color. her mane is tied up into a ponytail. she is smiling brightly and has a visible tooth gap. her body is covered in lighter pink piebald markings. she is wearing a party hat that is yellow with pink polkadots and a teal pom-pom. her eyes are teal. her cutie mark is a trio of balloons surrounded by confetti; a pink heart, a teal balloon, and a yellow star.
fluttershy is a smaller light-yellow pegasus, who is drawn to appear feathered. she has small round wings that are spread outwards. her legs, chest, face, and wings all have white markings. her mane and tail are long and slightly wavy and a peachy-pink color. her eyes are a deep blue and she has a shy expression. her cutie mark is a trio of butterflies; one has blue wings and a dark pink body, one has light pink wings with dark pink heart markings and a blue body, and the last has light blue wings and a light pink body.
rainbow dash is an athletically built light teal pegasus, who is drawn to appear feathered. she has longer, narrower wings with barred feathers that are spread outwards. her legs, belly, chest, face, and wings all have white markings. her mane and tail are warm-toned rainbow, with her mane styled like a mullet and her tail cropped short. her eyes are dark magenta and she has a relaxed confident expression. her cutie mark is a storm cloud with a large lightning bolt with warm-toned light primary colors. the storm cloud has a heart shape drawn into it.
twilight sparkle is a blue-purple alicorn drawn like a classical unicorn. she has a dark blue-purple mane that is tied into a sort of messy bun with two long locks of hair left to hang freely on the sides of her face. her mane and tail are streaked with peachy-pink and golden yellow colors resembling those found in a sunset. she has large outspread wings similar to an eagle. she has a star-shaped white marking on her face and light dapple markings covering her body. she is wearing round gold glasses and her eyes are a deep purple. she is smiling and has a friendly expression. her cutie mark is a dark pink six pointed star rendered to resemble a nautical star with a light pink heart in the center. it has small golden yellow points emanating from the inner corners of the star and is surrounded by small light pink six-pointed stars.
end ID.]

Emergency Nail Sales!
So, normally I would sit down and lovingly name and number sets of nails my wife makes, and give them an equally loving description. Unfortunately, there are way too many to do that with this time around, so we'll go with numbers. Several of the prior set are still for sale, too!
These, however, will just get a number and a price and a brief description. I also gotta add on shipping because that's almost $5 a pop (I can screencap the shipping label receipt if you don't believe me and the mailers aren't free themselves). That being said, you'd be paying a heck of a lot more to wear nails that look like these from a salon, so they're still a pretty good deal! And if you buy more than one set, obviously you only pay once for shipping.
This is to offset my unemployment and also the fact I smacked a deer, which took my car off the road. It's literally paying utilities, buying groceries and helping with transportation. Anyway, none of this is asking for a hand out. (I know everyone would help, but I also have a very hard time accepting it without giving something back.) <3 I'm still taking art commissions and the nails are obviously a tangible good you get to hold and use!
First up are HALLOWEEN NAILS. Order 'em tonight or tomorrow and you'll hopefully have 'em on the day!
1 - A set of thirty Halloween themed nails with a lovely cats eye on several, a heavy dark glitter on others and silver metallic on the rest. These nails have decals of witches and kitties on them! Twelve sizes, three half-sizes. Sorry about the vague blur and lens flare effect, that was not intentional. $40 + $5
2 - A second set of thirty Halloween themed nails, these are more witchy and eclectic, black with white decals and a heavy green glitter. Another case of accidental lens-flaring, but a truly quality set of nails. Fifteen whole sizes. $40 +$5
3 - Matte Halloween nails! Done in violet matte in some, a metallic matte in others and ten with awesome occult themed decals, this is a set of thirty with twelve full sizes and three half-sizes! $35 +$5
4 - Not explicitly Halloween themed, these matte nails are a dusky sort of rose and a March-in-Ohio kind of green. Fifteen full sizes for a total of thirty nails, these would look fine to wear to a formal event. $25 +$5
5 - These are so much fun. A set of thirty beach-themed nails, turquoise glitter on a third, gold glitter on a third and white with nautical and beach themed decals on the rest. These are twelve full sizes and three half-sizes. $40 +$5
6 - A really rich set of thirty nails in a rose and gold/coppery kind of heavy glitter. Ten of them have jewels on the top! These look stunning in the light, especially if you happen to see them in bright light. Twelve full sizes and three half-sizes. $35 +$5
7 - Another set of thirty with a number of cats eyes, this time in a muted teal with the cats eyes shining in a likewise muted gold. Accent nails in a more vibrant teal with gold holo decals on them round off the set with a pop of color. Twelve full sizes and three half-sizes. $35 +$5
8 - A set of silver glitter and smoky dark gray/black cats glitter eye nails with eclectic copper and silver and holo decals on several. There's nothing about these that aren't beautiful in the light, the play of the magnetic reactive polish making them dynamic. Twelve full sizes, three half-sizes. $40 +$5
9 - A set of thirty nails that put me in mind of the Ukrainian folk costume my daughter wore to show-and-tell. With some dark red metallic glitter cats eyes, some gold metallic glitter, some with decals, and some white nails with red and white flowers and other decal accents, this is a set of twelve full sizes and three half-sizes. $30 +$5
10 - While not explicitly Halloween themed, this set of thirty looks the part regardless. If I remember correctly, my wife told me that the purple ones are temperature reactive? Even if I don't remember correctly, though, they do have a lovely sort of holo-ish flake in them to go with the black-and-silver heavy glitter nails. This set has fifteen whole sizes. $30 +$5
11 - A really rich looking (literally!) set of thirty nails done in gold and copper, some of which are glitter, others of which are a basecoat with metallic decals like veins of marble running through them. A really beautiful collection, twelve full sizes and three half-sizes. $35 +$5
12 - A truly neat set of thirty almond-shaped nails, several of which are a rich orange, dark yellow or brown and then accent nails in a brown heavy glitter, this set is reminiscent of the mid-century modern set last time around! It's elegant and fun and it wouldn't look even a little out-of-place in someone's fondue party in the seventies. $30 +$5
13 - This set of thirty is varying shades of green on one side and purple on the other; some are heavy glitter, some are a lighter metallic glitter and some are straight colors. This is another set that isn't necessarily Halloween themed, but can definitely pass for it! $35+$5
14 - Oh my god, kitties. This set of thirty is kitty themed, for everyone out there who loves cats. There are silver metallic nails, fine silver glitter nails and some white nails with reflective cat-themed decals. If you love cats, this is so the set for you. $35+$5
15 - A set of thirty very spring-themed nails, including white nails with dried flowers and pink and green decals, this set also has metallic glitter pink on one side and metallic glitter green on the other. Really pretty and light. $30+$5
16 - Probably my favorite of the whole lot, this one is actually scratch-and-dent. With deep silvery cats eyes on some, heavy black and silver glitter on others, and a dark almost-purple cats eye on yet others, all offset with an occasional dark blue, this one reminds me of some facet of astronomy. They're stunning and the fact that we lost one off the end and therefore there are only twenty-eight means you get 'em for a bit off! $35 +$5

Short Story Tournament
THE HUSBAND STITCH by Carmen Maria Machado (2014) (link) - tw: body horror, medical and sexual abuse
I don’t know what deviant pleasure she asked for, though I desperately wish I did. What magical thing could you want so badly that they take you away from the known world for wanting it?
THE REDOUBTABLES by Premee Mohamed (2020) (link) - tw: death
Still rising, the edge of the thing reveals itself. No chaotic meteor-strike with lacy edges of ejecta but a smooth dinnerplate of a crater, whitely bereft of life, and in the center a darkness so profound that it seems astronomical rather than nautical, a black hole from which no light can escape, nor the grains of sand or stars.

ROUND ONE
ANXIOUS ANGLER from SKY: CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT vs THE WELLERMAN from THAT WHALING BALLAD
HERE'S WHAT THE SUBMITTERS HAD TO SAY ABOUT OUR CONTESTANTS:
ANXIOUS ANGLER - "Part of a pirate crew!! Know how to hide from dangerous sea creatures!! Anxious but they don't let it stop them from fishing!! Hat!!"
THE WELLERMAN - okay. actually? pollrunner here. this was submitted to me as "the weatherman from that sea shanty tiktok" and i thought it was funny but. i'm also a big nerd about nautical history and the age of sail so. i feel compelled to use my platform here to inform you that despite their inclusion in this poll, the titular wellermen from the song were not necessarily fishermen. whalers definitely count as fisherman for the purposes of this tournament, but "wellerman" was just slang for "guy who worked for the weller brothers". the weller brothers owned a lot of supply ships and sold provisions to whalers ("soon may the wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum"). they weren't whalers themselves. okay that's the end of my infodump. shoutout to the longest johns, stream between wind and water (the album their recording of wellerman is on)
nobody bully the person who submitted "the weatherman". they shouldn't be made to feel ashamed for not knowing something, especially something that can't really be considered common knowledge.

Hello, my nautical consultant! I have been pondering over this for a while, but I was wondering if you could throw any light on this quote from The Charioteer, when Ralph is talking about that fateful crush on his sub:
"He was a sub of mine. If he'd been a matelot it would have been all right; I could have put it out of my mind because I'd have bloody well had to. But he was round my neck all day. He wanted to learn everything I knew except what I wanted to teach him."
So I've been trying to get a proper definition of "matelot" - is he distinguishing between someone who is not an officer, or someone who is his equal rather than his junior? It doesn't make sense to me because I don't see how 'I'd have bloody well had to' refers any more to a 'matelot' than to the sub. I get that the guy is around him all the time, but then why wouldn't he just say it was harder because he was around all the time. OK, might have answered my own question because that could be a Mary-ism couldn't it, Ralph could never admit to not being able to do something, and he often says things that don't make any sense.
But anyway, I thought you would probably have a better sense of how he is using that word than me! Thank you in advance 😊
Hello hello!
So I think this does have some element of it being harder to ignore having a crush on someone you are with all the time, yes. But I think it's also about the power dynamics.
Matelot means an ordinary sailor, one of the regular crew. The power difference between a lieutenant and sub-lieutenant is nothing compared with that between a comissioned officer and an ordinary seaman. Ralph is the captain. His word is effectively law on board. If he did start acting inappropriately, an ordinary crewman wouldn't have been able to say no. Ralph would have been in trouble for the abuse of that power, as much as what he did with it. So if he'd fallen for one of the crew he would have had to get over his feelings or risk being court martialled and locked up.
I think also, there's some disgust because he's not the kind of person who would take advantage like that anway, especially as he's seen this from the other end during his early career. Think about his comments in the party scene, too! It's clearly a topic he has strong feelings about.

peace is to be found when the sun goes down, especially in the thick of the south. granted, now came the time where the sun showed mercy; a little bit of bite found in the cool evening air. he thinks nothing of the time pulling towards the dock, his mind too heavily fixated on tying nautical knots to fasten his boat to the dock to even take note of the figure that sat a few feet away. fingers frigid from the drop in temperature, an exasperated sigh that escapes him the second he gets it right. hoisting himself off the boat and onto the dock only to nearly jump out of his skin. the dim light illuminating the dock just enough to deduce that she wouldn't be, entirely, a threat. “shit, you scared me. what in the world are you doin' out here at a time like this?” inquiry comes quickly, though the gentle smile painted upon features reassures that it's all in good faith. tugging at the sleeves of his flannel, slowly approaching. “y'alright? i don't usually see people 'round here this late.” / @girlsurvive .

Wales day 6 and 7, August 2024.
Today we trek to a Castle in Caernarfon on the Wales mainland. Neil and Beverley have seen this multiple times so they did some shopping in town while Nancy and I did a 1 hour self guided tour.
Neat little town, this was a four day weekend and it was busy.
You can’t go to Caernarfon without going to the “Black Boy Inn.” As the sign says, built in 1522. Making it one of the oldest pubs in Wales. To pit in perspective, 254 years before America was founded.
This is the front door.
Neil and Nancy bellying up to the bar while putting in our order of Guinness.
Round two….
Wales is known for their love of poetry. They have a yearly competition where the winner is presented with a one of a kind hand built chair. Here I am sitting in one from a bygone era.
From the “Black Boy Inn” we headed to a great Indian food dinner. I thought it a bit strange that a sign in the entry said “no personal sodas allowed.” Turns out being muslim they did not sell alcohol. So you were allowed to bring in your own beer, just not sodas.
Day 7 morning walk. One of many wild flowers, vines and blackberries along the walk.
Neil’s twin sister Janet and her son’s dog joined us for the walk this morning. The day prior we ran into one of Neil’s neighbors near Saint Ceidio’s Church. She mentioned she had the key to the church and helped keep an eye on it. When stopped at her house and retrieved the key that day. She was kind enough to invite us in. She and her husband had taken an old water mill that was in ruins and rebuilt a beautiful house out of it. So today we will get inside of the church.
This church is a 19th century church built on a site that may have been used as a church as long ago as 630 ad. This church was rebuilt using the stones from a 14 th century church previously sitting here.
West wall with its bellcote.
Neil with the key to the door. The round headed doorway may be from the 14th century.
This church has not been in use for many years. So we had to knock down several spiderwebs. Neil made himself at home in the pulpit. Which he had also done in the church in New Bedford, Mass. Which was featured in the movie Moby Dick.
In the back of the church was a stretcher used to carry caskets to the graveyard.
An inscription on slate in the memory of a 21 year old who died in 1802.
Dropped the key off at the old mill which is now a house.
Janet, Charlie and Nancy checking a pasture on the way home. Hurry up we don’t want to miss tea time!
After lunch we drove to the north shore of Anglesey to look at this lighthouse on the point to the right.
Point Lynas lighthouse is very unique. Since it is plenty high to see from the sea. It is built into the wall of the building with light only visible for 180 degrees.
The walk to the lighthouse.
The gate leading to the lighthouse. There are a couple of rooms that you can rent here. Not sure how nice those expensive rooms would be when the fog horn sounds.
Here is the actual light. There is a modern radar antenna, and anemometer on the roof. The ship pilots used this point to help ships getting to Liverpool. The pilot station was built in 1776. This light was built in 1835 which is visible for 18 nautical miles.
A heather covered hillside leading to the water. One seal was visible nearby.
Windy out here on the point.
View from the point back towards the lighthouse.
Neil in the heather.
Neil working the lath in his shop, which he let Nancy try her hand at. One more night watching “Rawhide” then we leave on the ferry the next day for Dublin. What a great vacation, thanks to Neil and Beverley Gadsby.

[Open Starter] A Childish Dream
"So a few things off the bat, right now you're standing in the dream of a child. As you can see from the nautical theme, this was the dream of a child who longed to sail the seven seas with his trusty clock to guide him, heehee. Since it appears you are stuck in this dream, I can only assume that your heart secretly longs for the same thing as the one who made this dream, or there's something in here that you need to find.
I'll give you a few hints since you seem to be lost. One, like any good seafaring adventure, there's treasure! But the treasure itself is a trap, sometimes true treasure isn't something hidden in a box that refuses to be found. Two, you may have heard the saying that the real treasure is the friends we find along the way. If you help those in need, I'm sure they'll find a way to help you back. Third, you might have wondered to yourself 'how does a clock guide a sailor'? Weeelll it might not be exactly a clock, but it is round and has symbols on its face and a needle that moves around. Close enough to a clock for a child to think of it as one, no?
Anyway, good luck, and, don't worry, I'll be sticking around if you really need help, but I have a feeling you won't."
He had woken up in this so-called child's sea-faring theme with only a cheerful, feminine voice to guide him. The voice had departed not too long he had woken in what looked to be a hotel corridor covered in a hazy blue. Akechi frowned. Honestly, this entire place was too hotel-like for him to guess this was supposed to be nautical themed. The only thing that vaguely reminded him of the sea were the transparent blue fishes that kept swimming past him. Oh and the bubbles, why were there so many blue bubbles?
He shook his head and continued walking down the corridor, hands trailing the wooden banisters and the ignoring the shell shaped lamps that were not doing their job of lighting the place up. he had woken up in what seemed like a child's playroom, but the corridor that the door had opened up to- Akechi frowned. This kid wouldn't have happened to have grown up in a hotel would they?
He shook his head to clear his thoughts and kept walking down the hallway. There seemed to be an elegant door at the end (were there stairs?) and he was sure wherever the exit was it was beyond that door. Inside him, he could feel the rumbles of power from both Robin and Loki but strangely not H//er////ewa///rd, however, his outfit hadn't changed and his phone didn't have any suspicious red glowing eyes.
Maybe the voice was right and this really was a dream? No matter, if things got dangerous, and he was sure it was going to, he had his personas to rely on. It was going to be okay. (He wasn't certain.)

Now, I'm in England with a house I absolutely love, and found that it either didn't sell, or is on the market again. I LOVE this home. Note the 2 statues on the columns playing a game and you drive under it.
This estate is in Dorsington, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, UK, has 6bds, 6ba, £3.65M / $4.319M
Do you like the look of beams? This home's ground fl. is completely open concept, but the beams offer a clear view while still marking separations for each area. Here in the living room there's a lovely brick fireplace.
There's a nice round railing in the middle of the floor. Note the exposed brick walls.
The home has a nautical theme. The unusual round kitchen island has nautical accents. I can't make out what the graphics on the walls are, but they must be ship-themed.
I must say that this is some architectural design. It's amazing. I could be very happy here. It gives off a feeling of tranquility.
Also, beyond the kitchen and living room, there's a gorgeous indoor pool and spectacular acquarium that takes up a whole wall.
I like the way the inside of the pool is painted and look at the stained glass window with an ocean scene above. Also, take note of the beams on the left that are carved to look like palm tree trunks.
The hot tub at the end of the pool lit up at night. How romantic is this?
A magnificently carved custom made bed in a child's room. Look at the mermaid with the trident. On the other side there's a pirate with a sword. Is that a canon in the middle? I think that there's also a way to climb up on top of the bed, too.
From the cupola in the eaves there's a pirate ready to swoop down and he has a long sword on his belt.
Now, out here they cheated. That's book shelf wallpaper.
The primary bedroom is very large, and a little too beige.
The home theater has an Art Deco flair. Look at the little side tables, for snacks and drinks.
What an incredible bar. The floor, the lights, the walls. Even the pool table lights up.
Outdoors there's a nice little terrace and what a colorful anchor.
The big chess set.
Gorgeous gardens.
And, as if all of this isn't enough, there's a fairytale cottage with a thatched roof.
Isn't this a cozy living room? Love the red wood stove and Marilyn Monroe above it.
Nice semi-circular kitchen. The extra touches in these homes are so special.
What a lovely sunroom.

Howdy there, any headcanons for Lighter? -Scrib
I like Lighter. He seems like a good dad. The fact he ends up being a better dad than Flint (much better, I'd say) is maybe a bit sad, given how close they are. I love how in Chapter 1 his ruthless work ethic gets him outta bed when he oughtta be resting. And how in Chapter 4, he's clearly been singlehandedly rebuilding his lightning-struck house. Dude's self-sufficient, eager to lend a hand, and resilient as all hell. I've gotta respect it.
It's sweet that Lighter's been Flint's bestie for as long as either of 'em can remember. I like to think that's real shit, not just somethin they fried up when they scrambled their brains with the Egg of Light. If folks recall my hc that a lot of Tazmilians used to be nautically inclined - Lighter's among the boat-buildin' folks. Probably used his lumber guy talents to help construct the White Ship (I picture it being made of equal parts wood and metal, 'cause that motif makes my brain light up like the fourth of July). And I have an awfully particular vision for pre-game Flint, practically the opposite of the gruff cowboy persona he crafted for himself (but that's a whole other can o' worms!). I like the thought of a feeble-willed young Flint befriending someone with reliable skills, lookin' up to him. Lighter bein' a close pal who's always respected and tried to support Flint over the years, no matter how weak or strong he might be. I do kinda prefer to keep my pre-canon headcanons fuzzy 'round the edges, though. Perhaps I'll cook somethin' cool with 'em someday.
One thing that bamboozles me about Lighter is the absence of his wife / Fuel's mom. I've seen a lotta folks try to wrangle how she might've died, but on a thematic level, I have a really hard time imagining another dead parent story that doesn't undercut Hinawa's death. So much of the story we get hinges on Tazmily being unfamiliar with sudden tragedy. But if young parents of small kids have died there before, it really loses that impact. Nana's mysteriously absent folks are already seriously pushin' those limits. EB64 offers some lost secret sauce - Lighter's wife Tobacco disappeared at sea, much like Nana's dad. Could maybe swing somethin' like that. Maybe it's somethin' mundane but taboo - Lighter slept around, and Fuel's mom's one of the other villagers, and no one likes to talk about it. Or, fuck it. Maybe Lighter's a happily single trans dad. Who's to say!
