important notice

// I think I'm quitting. I think you may have seen this coming. I tried to come back from a hiatus, but my depressive episode is ultimately too much for me and I just can't bring myself to do replies. I find myself only roleplaying with my closest friends and even that is not here on posts. I see new people enter the community, and immedialetly feel paranoid due to people who have been trying to tell lies and trash my name here. I can't get enjoyment from running this blog anymore. And I'd like to move my personal blog to a new account where it would be my main... I'd be more free. I don't know, I just feel like leaving this community. I'm not deleting this account or anything... I mean, maybe I'd return one day? It just feels like a hard decision, after all, I've been here for a pretty long time. Almost three years, I think. Or more? I can't really remember anymore. At one point people used to say I was pretty much considered "the queen" of this little roleplay community and was probably the main reason why everyone stuck together. If that's the case, then I'm glad I have been that person for all of you, I suppose? I'm just tired. I don't know if this is really a goodbye yet, but I'm heavily considering it. To my friends who have my contact info outside this blog, of course we'd stay in contact. My personal blog would be moved to a new account. If this really is a goodbye, then, well... Thanks for all this time, right? I've greatly enjoyed writing out the tales of a fearless little ghost pirate. Has made dealing with severe mental illness a bit better, at times. And all that. I hope you understand. //

“Anne Bonny and Mary Read were pirates, as renowned for their ruthlessness as for their gender, and during their short careers challenged the sailors’ adage that a woman’s presence on shipboard invites bad luck.”

Sculpture by Erik Christianson.

[thecreach]

I’m not entirely sure that the statue really needed to have a tit out.

[luckykrys-deactivated20140128]

How dare women try to have nipples.

[4rfvbgt56yhn-deactivated2014040]

Actually I’ve seen this before and I can tell you— it’s because these women were bad ass pirates and when they killed someone they’d expose one or both breasts so that when their victim died, (s)he knew that they were killed by a woman.

[koresoteirass]

ACTUALLY Anne Bonny purposely wore loose fitting clothes and displayed her breasts openly at all times during battle - mainly because men were distracted by them, and she took pleasure in killing said men while they were too busy staring at her breasts. Mary Read dressed mainly as a man (after posing as her deceased brother, Mark, for the entirety of her childhood) and both ladies cross-dressed from time to time, hopping between ships. They were known as the ‘fierce hell cats’ due to their ferocious tempers, and were key elements to Captain ‘Calico Jack’ Rackham’s crew - they were the only two known female pirates in the Golden Age of Caribbean piracy. IN FACT, when the ship was captured by the British Navy, Anne and Mary were the ONLY TWO pirates who fought while the males of the crew hid - they were all tried to be hung as pirates but Bonny and Read were both pregnant and were pardoned.

Calico Jack was a lover to Bonny, and as he was to be hung, Bonny’s final words to him were, “Had you fought like a man, you need not be hung like a dog.” Bonny and Read were possibly two of the most badass fucking pirates and they were FEMALE. The more you know.

And on top of all that, exposed breasts have a long and storied history of symbolism in art. They mean all sorts of things. The sculptor may have chosen to expose her left breast specifically to denote her courage–her heart is exposed–or to evoke comparison to Amazon warriors, who cut off their right breasts.

Titties are complex in art.

Fascinating!

To us all. For we are wonderful today, with all our faults, and tomorrow we will be better, with the laughter as we overcome our follies.

[sistertaxon]

why are there so many posts about asexuals being immune to sirens. people. sirens don’t lure you in with sex (necessarily). they sing about whatever it is that you want most. they could sing about mothman or cinnamon toast crunch and guess what then your asexual pirate is fucking dead

[thesylverlining]

this is the only kind of ace discourse i ever want to see on my dash. the only kind. ever again. good job

[kittyknowsthings]

Do you think the sirens would be grateful that they finally get some variety? 

[systlin]

“Oh my god we can finally just sing about pasta thank the fucking gods.” 

[totohoy-blog]

I’m not asexual but I’m fairly certain sirens would do a far better job luring me into the depths with a song about pasta rather than sex…

[systlin]

I mean. 

“WHAT THE FUCK STAY AWAY FROM THE ROCKS.”

“FUCKER THEY SAID THEY HAVE FETTUCCINE CARBONARA AND HOT GARLIC BREAD OVER THERE HANG ON BITCH.” 

[musicalhell]

This is true; Odysseus heard them promising him knowledge of the future.  So the next time you see artwork like this:

Remember those sultry naked chicks are saying “We’ll tell you the winning lotto numbers.”

[fuckstaffposts]

Them: “We have unlimited wifi at incredible speeds~” Me: *diving headfirst into the water*

[lefting-leftaroo-ninja]

I love this post

[anti0ch]

Them: hey man if you jump into the water you’ll fucking drown Me: i’m all in baby

[voiceboss]

“Away with you!” I exclaimed, swinging an oar toward the unyielding siren

“Oh, but we have anything you could ever want,” she cooed. I shook my head.

“I want for nothing! There is nothing you could offer me!” The siren paused for a moment.

“Dank Memes,” she said, “The Dankest Memes you co–” Her sentence was cut short by my epic cannonball into the water.

Friendly reminder that it's okay to

- Do what you want cause a pirate is free

For several years, Governor William C. C. Claiborne wanted to capture Jean Lafitte, so he put a price of $500 for Jean Lafitte’s head. Once Jean found out about this, he hung posters offering a $5,000 reward for Claiborne’s capture.

It is 4 AM and I can’t sleep because I keep eyeing the direction of the ocean in longing for ghost pirate ships. You can find me on my widow’s walk sipping coffee and looking the wrong way because it is dark and, even in the best of times, I’m bad at directions.

Vandala couldn't help but to scowl a little at the last comment, but then grinned as brightly as ever again before breaking the box open. "Aw, I love it. Really. Thanks", she chuckled. "An' tell Porter I said thanks, alright? Man, that ol' ghastly dog... Damn, I sure as hell be glad for havin' such mateys like ye scalawags." She rubbed the side of her head a little awkwardly. "Ye know, I be sorry I left like that again. Was in a bad place an' all that, and when I am, I sail."

The sea waves glistened beautifully below as Vandala sat on the ledge on the deck of the Salty Spectre, her eyes closed as she let the sun warm her chilly ectoplasm. A beautiful day, perfect to come for a little visit… It had been long since she had been to land, sailing was a way to deal with grief and losses in unlife, but the sun had started to shine so bright recently that the ghost pirate had felt the urge to return.

She simply sat humming a catchy little shanty she had picked up on her latest travels, watching the port from the docked ship, when she caught sight of a familiar face walking around the docks. “Well well, hasn’t it been long”, she called out, with a hint of mirth in her voice. “Ahoy! Up here”, she chuckled.

[askthemansters]

Holt hums to himself as he strolls down a docks, spotting Vandala’s ship, he hurries over, a box tucked under one arm, his headphones bomping out the tunes as they hung around his neck, just aloud enough for him to hear it and keep up his transformation “Yo-hoho, Dala! Permission to come aboard?”

[saltyspectre-archive]

Vandala grinned wide at the manster, gesturing with her arm. “Aye, go ahead! The gangplank’s down, go ahead”, she exclaimed. “Sure has been long since I’ve seen ye around, DJ”, Vandala said as she got up from where she was sitting. “Haven’t been on land for months!”
