if i was a pirate captain i would get a movie projector and play a movie on the big sails every friday night for my boys to kick back and enjoy some time off unless we were under attack
Pirates legit did the 16-17th century equivalent of this. When things were slow, they would put on plays, act out dramas of stories they knew, or freestyle. The most preferred model of original productions was courtroom drama: “trying” each other for piracy. The “accused” would list off their many, dramatically and humorously embellished crimes, and be equally dramatically sentenced. Sometimes there was a daring escape, sometimes just a really maudlin death scene, but a good time was had by all.
My name is Wen Nguyen, I’m 20 years old trans guy, and I’m broke with no proper insurance.
I really did not want to come to this, but I’m really strapped on cash right now. My x-rays came in recently, and they said that my spine resembled that of a car crash victim. I’ve been in excruciating pain for the last 2 months, and I’m still desperately trying to find a job that accommodates my physical impairment.
My treatment is 4 months, and at the cost of 1,200.00$ if not paid upfront. If I manage to scrounge up 1,000.00$ before 11 May 2018, that would be more than a miracle.
Please consider donating to my PayPal, so I can get the proper treatment needed. Anything helps! Any person donating more than 25$ also gets a free copy of Paint Tool Sai!
I did it!! My first officially published book!! Thank you for all your support and kindness, and I hope The Royal Warrior doesn’t disappoint!

A friendly fox in Pripyat, Chernobyl exclusion zone
*happy cheerful music as fox plays in deserted nuclear radiation land*
This is the aesthetic
Fun facts about the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone:
1) Most of it is pretty safe, even for long periods of time. In fact about 200 native people still live there, but no new settlement is allowed, so that number has declined from about 1200 after the zone was created in 1986.
2)The zone has become an unintentional animal reserve. Its ~1000 square miles of uninhabited forest. Poaching happens, but not to the degree one might expect due to the fear of radiation. Also as a consequence there are lots of human friendly animals like this fox. Most of the humans they do see are tourists that regularly feed them.
3) Its one big science experiment on post human occupation, environmental contamination, and radioactive degradation. Weve actually learned a hell of a lot about what would happen to a city after everyone leaves and how nature takes back over thanks to the city of Pripyat. And how the environment adapts to sudden changes and evolves. A fungus was desvovered in and around the Chernobyl Disaster Site that creates chemical energy out gamma radiation emitted from the melted down core. Something biologists had only theorized as even possible a few years ago, and heres this fungus feeding on it. Its crazy man!
^^ i was literally thinking about if nature and wild life had taken back over the area
