Warning

My muse is not always nice. My muse can and will kill. This is in character, and in no way, me against you.  I will warn you. I will explain why my muse behaves like that, if it is appropriate to, timing and plot wise. I will attempt to give you a way out of it. But I will not change my muse’s character for you.  If your muse pisses off my muse, and my muse wants to attack and kill yours, there is only so much I can do to ensure that my muse is still in character. If you do not want your muse to die, please discuss with me.  But if you keep pushing my muse, despite being warned that death is what my muse desire for yours, please face the consequences with no negativity.

DO NOT USE .CO .VU

Please for the love of all that is holy DO NOT USE THIS TO PERSONALIZE YOUR TUMBLR. It’s covered in adware and every single time I click onto someone’s tumblr who has it I have to run my spybot and then it catches a bunch of stuff and in one case one of these addresses downloaded an adware program onto my computer that prevented me from hitting back on my browser and had loud popup ads now and then and annoying blue hyperlinks everywhere. It took several hours of my time to remove the darn thing from my computer completely.

“But I can have a cool personalized name with .co .vu!” Yeah, you know why? Because most people don’t use it so names aren’t taken. Why?

Because it’s covered in adware and spyware.

If you respect your followers AT ALL do not use this. Please.

[amielleon]

This is actually a really fascinating scam.

So, you know how how “co.[country abbreviation]” is commonly used to signify that a site is from some country? For example, “amazon.co.jp” is the Japanese version of Amazon dot com.

The people selling “co.vu” sites want you to think that that’s what’s going on–that you’re getting nice good web addresses from Vanuatu.

But what’s actually happening is that they publish your sites as a subdomain of a site called “co” that is in Vanuatu.

In other words:

In the url “http://amielleon.tumblr.com”, “amielleon” is the subdomain, “tumblr” is the actual site, and “com” tells me that it’s a commercial site and probably from America.

In the url “http://mytrashyotp.co.vu”, “mytrashyotp” is the subdomain, “co” is the actual site, and “vu” indicates it’s from Vanuatu. But they WANT you to think that “mytrashyotp” is the site, and “co.vu” indicates that it’s a commercial site from Vanuatu.

What are they getting out of this? The ability to throw shit on top of your blog (like adware) and also leech off your content for search engine rankings.

Sword presented to Francis Douglas

Dated: 1790

This sword is inscribed: 'PRESENTED by the Committee of Merchants &c OF LONDON to LIEUT.T FRANCIS DOUGLAS for his Spirited and active conduct on board His Majesty's Ship the REPULSE. Ja.s Alms Esq.r Commander during the MUTINY at the NORE in 1797. Marine Society Office, May 1o 1798 } Hugh Inglis Esq.r Chairman'.

Francis Douglas was rewarded for his role in suppressing a violent mutiny among sailors at the Nore, a Royal Navy anchorage in the Thames Estuary in 1797.

According to an account by an eyewitness, published in The Sheerness Guardian 70 years later, the ship, Repulse, made a ‘miraculous’ escape from the mutineers reaching shore despite receiving ‘as was calculated two hundred shot’.

Sidenotes:

James Morisset, one of London’s most celebrated makers of enamelled gold dress-swords and boxes, was commissioned to produce this sword.

From around 1640, light swords with short, flexible, pointed blades appeared in response to new fencing techniques that emphasised thrusting at speed. They were worn increasingly with civilian clothes as ‘small swords’, offering a means of self-defence but largely denoting status for the well-dressed gentleman.

Small swords were items of male jewellery. By the 1750s, their elaborate gold and silver hilts, mounted with precious stones and fine enamelling, were the products of the goldsmith and jeweller rather than the swordsmith. They made fitting rewards for distinguished military and naval service. With their blades tucked away inside scabbards, it was their ostentatious and expensive hilts that carried their thrust.

The Accidental Witness

starter for tavarothranduil

Eyes wide, she immediately clapped a hand over her mouth and turned around, exiting as quickly as she came in. Her struggle was to keep her expressions and thoughts straight as she made her way down the wide, airy hall. 'I was never meant to see that!' had been her initial reaction, but now Mandy's thoughts were focused on all the imagined fates that would surely befall her in punishment. Even for one merely at the wrong place at the wrong time, for there was no way to prove her witness was not intentional.

Why I haven't answered back in a RP:

1. I am NOT ignoring you. 2. I am trying to think if a reply. 3. I’m not up to it at that moment. 4. Tumblr ate it.
