american puritan names have nothing on the first name of this 17th century dutch woman artist i just read about. my girl Tesselschade ('texel damage') named after the shipwrecking of her father's 44 trade ships on the coast of the island Texel in 1593.

[hexjulia]

supposedly it was as a reminder of the vanity of worldly wealth or whatever but i do think it's very funny for a woman in the VOC era to have such a capitalism themed name. Stockmarketcollapse you were named for a very memorable time in daddy's life,

Rodrigo Borgia: what a beautiful boy. We shall christen him Cesare—after the Roman Emperor and title.

Rodrigo Borgia: one day, my papal name will be Alexander—after the conqueror of Greek fame.

Vannozza Cattanei: Brilliant. What shall we name our two younger sons?

Rodrigo Borgia: eeeh… Johnny and Jeff..?

I’m bored, tell me about a plot or character you’ve been dying to write

Living by the ocean is just like … she has brought me a gift today from beyond our shores, she is a kind and giving mother, and sometimes that gift is a giant wooden cross for some reason

Or a fucking Garfield phone

an entire wasteland of what are lovingly known as “penis fish”

Or a huge-ass prehistoric tree.

thank you mother ocean, we say from the bottom of our hearts: what the fuck.

The iron hand of Götz von Berlichingen (1480-1562), a knight and mercenary who lost his right arm in a siege [640×360]

[brunhiddensmusings]

points about this -it was shot off by a cannon -he continued being a knight for over 40 years after getting the iron hand -it was delicate enough he could still write with a quill using it, which is important as he was described as a ‘warrior poet’ -after a merchant-punching life suitable for an elder scrolls protagonist he was outlawed by the holy roman empire, friends of his used a high diplomacy roll and a bribe to get him out, and he then almost immediately kidnapped a bishop -after outlaw of the holy roman empire 2 electric boogaloo was placed under house arrest in a castle he had purchased with all his quest rewards to spend the next 20 years drunk off his ass

[fuckaspunk]
