Fenêtre. En regardant – la mer – le mur – je vois une phrase, une danse, un cercle. En regardant le ciel, le ciel grand et nu élargit tous mes muscles. Je le regarde de tout mon corps. Paul Valéry, Tel Quel, Rhumbs, in Œuvres II, Bibliothèque de la Pléiade, Gallimard, 1960

Thanks for choosing Rhumb air-lines, where we travel across the Earth like Euclid intended, unlike our nemesis, Great Circle airline. We would like to remind passengers that, on this trip, we will go through the Earth's core.

"Spread your legs, Y/n." Simon growled, and you whimpered, your eyes welling up with tears as he let go of your clit, getting back up and on his knees as he looked down at you.

You were a mess, all drooly and teary eyed as soon as he got his mouth between your legs. He had tied your hands to the headboard with his belt, messy but quite effective. And right now, you were splayed out, pussy aching as he refused to let you cum.

"Never listen, do you?" he shook his head, spanking your clit hard when you didn't spread your legs. You whimpered, biting onto your lower lip as a splash of wetness flew right out, wetting his trail and boxers.

"Fuck, you’re such a good girl, aren’t you? Squirting all over me" he smirked, spaking your clit again, making your back arch and fingers tighten, nails digging into the leather.

You nodded pathetically, silently begging him to let you cum. You were so pent up, teary eyed and on the verge of crying.

"Si, please" you cooed, and he brought up a hand to your mouth, tracing your lower lip before pushing his thumb in, resting it on your tongue. You began to suck on it, while he lowered his mouth back down, licking a stripe from your ass to your clit, making you moan out loud.

"That's it, moan for me" he pulled his thumb out, bringing it between your drenched folds, spreading your lips and rubbing his rhumb on your clit, while his tongue pushed it's way past your tight hole.

You tightened ypur legs around his head, almost sorry for squeezing him as your mouth dropped open, back arching off the bed as you came all over him, squirt flowing out as your legs shook. He quickly replaced his tongue with his fingers, sticking his tongue out as he drank you in.

"Give me all you got, yeah, that's it, good girl"

Navigation chart

These are charts that are primarily designed and used for navigation. The chart contains most of the information a navigator needs, including latitude and longitude, topographical features, navigational aids such as lighthouses and indications of reefs and shallows, water depth and warnings. This information makes it possible both to chart a safe course and to check progress during the voyage.

Portolan chart by Jorge de Aguiar (1492), the oldest known signed and dated chart of Portuguese origin (Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University, New Haven, USA)

The first nautical charts were produced at the end of the 13th century. The appearance of the magnetic compass 100 years earlier is regarded as the catalyst for the development of nautical charts. Prior to this, sailors had relied on the proximity of a known coastline, the position of celestial bodies or meteorological phenomena such as the monsoon winds in the Indian Ocean. The less predictable winds and weather conditions in the Mediterranean provided the impetus for the development of the first nautical charts. These were plane maps (without taking into account the curvature of the earth), which were regularly crossed by rhumb lines that corresponded to the probable wind direction.

Mercator 1569 world map composite of all 18 sheets, by Gerardus Mercator  (1512–1594)

The plane maps were unsuitable for navigation in the northern and southern latitudes and were replaced in the 17th century by maps in Mercator projection, which depicted the compass directions as straight lines. Projections other than the Mercator projection are also used, especially at very high latitudes.

All about~

Introduction

BBTASM (I'm not going to write it in full again) is a fanfic AU that takes Y/N and Scaramouche / Wanderer / Kunikuzushi...etc as the main character. etc with a predominantly fluff story.

Synopsis

Y/n is an 11th grade student, with a somewhat peculiar perception of life, who, trying to find a path to follow for the rest of her life, starts working in a cafe, but finds herself involved in an unexpected rhumb school romance with someone completely opposite to her.

List

- Ep. 1 < Sleepyhead >

- Ep. 2 < Relatives >

A/N:

- I am not a native English speaker so it is very likely that I have grammatical errors, I would be very grateful if you could correct me. 😿

- I am not usually constant when writing, it is more of a hobby but I will try not to forget about it!

- The content itself is fluff (according to me) it may contain angst from time to time but there won't be any smut, I have nothing against that type of content but I don't feel comfortable writing it nor do I know how to do it.

Disclaimer!:

- The fic may contain mentions of topics that may be sensitive for some people, if so I will leave a note before the chapter.

[a-dinosaur-a-day]

Apologies, as this is only tangentially related to what you're talking about, but people overuse the (normal) Mercator projection far too much. It became the standard for navigation because it is the only map to show north as always up and south as always down while also preserving local directions and shapes. It maps rhumb lines to straight lines, which makes it amazing for marine navigation. However, it is one of the worst projections for general world maps! In it Africa and Greenland are of comparable size, but in reality Africa is approximately 14 times larger! The distortion is so great, that it tends to only show the earth from 85°S and 85°N. This is because to show the full earth the map would need to be INFINITELY TALL!!!!!! Mercator himself used the sinusoidal projection for area. There is a time and a place for the Mercator projection, but it is not fucking general use

100% all of this. I deeply detest mercator

Mathematical Etymology

excerpts from the Veriloquace Glossary o'Mathematics, a reference quire compiled by Rotcham University Primers.

zeffer /ˈzɛ.fə/ [zero] the number of things in an empty collection, the quantity one fewer than one. Before 1350 < Scholastic Latin zefer, zefrum (alt. zephirus by false connection to Zephyr) < Arabic صِفْر • ṣifr "empty, void" < in sense from Sanscrit शून्य • śūnyá "empty, void".

ablate /ˈa.blət/ [negative] fewer than zeffer, as of a debtor's money or a distance backward. 1481 < Lombard ablad < Scholastic Latin ablātus "taken away, withdrawn, removed", first used in financial accounts and taken up by mathematicians some decades later.

dart /ˈdaːt/ [~vector] a segment of a line, considered with a choice of which end is the head and which the vane. Around 1470 < Early Merch dart "throwing spear, dart" < Middle French dart, dard < Medieval Latin dardus < Frankish *darōth < Classical German *darōthus "light spear, javelin, dart". Extended to its mathematical sense by the pictorial analogy of drawing arrowheads on line segments.

augrim /ˈəu.gɾɪm/ [~arithmetic] the mathematics of calculation with numbers; computation more generally. Around 1220 < Drengot augrime, algrisme etc < Old French algorisme < Scholastic Latin algorismus "the use of Arabic numbers" < Arabic الخَوَارِزْمِيّ • al-ḵawārizmiyy, a name of the Persian polymath whose mathematical works introduced much of mathematics to Europe.

arrhumb /ˈa.ɾəm/ [cosine] the sending of an angle to the quotient of the height of a rod deflected by that angle from the vertical to the full length of the rod. Early Merch arrum, arrom (the modern spelling is influenced by unrelated rhumb "compass bearing") < Arabic الرمح • ar-rumḥ "spear, shaft". This appears to be a metaphorical extension related to the use ofوتر • watar < Sanscrit ज्या • jyā́ "bowstring" for vater [sine].

1 and 24 for the identity asks!

if someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to?

read: no one belongs here more than you by miranda july and caramelo by sandra cisneros; watch: fleabag, obvious child, gone girl, and s1-3 of community; listen to: hot fuss by the killers, red by taylor swift, the rhumb line by ra ra riot.

have you ever felt like you had a “mind-meld” with someone?

yes! not often, but on multiple occasions. i felt it when i met my s/o, and one of my good friends when we first hung out and got to know each other.

identity asks :D
