Starry, starry night...

Charlotte. This is a multi-fandom blog. Stuff I like: History. DC. TV. Movies. Music. Internet nonsense. Royal Navy/Nauticalia. Wicca/Paganism. Horror/Paranormal. Art. I tend to mostly post from a very long queue!

[tippystardust]

I have paused my queue for now!

I will still be here though, adding to it, reblogging/posting some stuff and replying to stuff.

I will unpause it on the day of our flight.

I haven’t posted on this blog in 6 years but felt I needed to come on here today. I feel devastated by this, as I am sure many of you are feeling this way too. Always knew this one would hurt, Rest in Peace, our Watcher ♥️

Thank you to everyone who got me to 5000 likes!

June Festival Rituals 2025

On 1 June 1794, the Royal Navy fought one of the most famous battles of the Age of Sail.

Known as the Glorious First of June, it was the first major fleet action between Britain and Revolutionary France during the French Revolutionary Wars.

For days, the two fleets manoeuvred across the Atlantic. The British, under Admiral Lord Howe, sought to intercept a vital French grain convoy carrying food desperately needed by a nation facing shortages and political upheaval. The French fleet, commanded by Admiral Villaret de Joyeuse, was determined to protect it.

When the fleets finally met, the fighting was fierce. Ships exchanged devastating broadsides at close range as thousands of sailors and marines faced the realities of battle at sea.

By the end of the action, six French ships had been captured and Britain celebrated what was seen as a great naval victory.

I have a little story about this painting.

One day I was in a shopping centre (2010 maybe?) and I passed a charity shop. There was a cheap print of this that had been glued to a block of wood.

I bought it because I was so drawn to it.

I later found out that the ship on the left is HMS Queen Charlotte. No word of a lie, that knowledge gave me actual goosebumps.

She has a really sad story.

She unfortunately accidentally caught fire and 673 men died.

Just a heads up...

I am going to see Spitting Glass next week and I am VERY EXCITED.

I will prolly post pics and vids.

ofhuo;fhj

[tippystardust]

Oh I was tempted to post photos of the outfit I wore to see Pintglass on Friday but legit concerned they might get a Mature label 😂

It took a lot of bravery to even post the selfies on my IG.

Def out of my comfort zone.

Although I might wear the top again to see Spitting Glass next week 🙈

[tippystardust]

Don't really know what to do with myself today

[kaddyssammlung]

@tippystardust found a different angle :)

[tippystardust]

yeah from this angle it def looks deliberate 😂

@tippystardust III bumping into Vessel and Vessel seeking revenge

[tippystardust]

Thank you!!!!

The video at that point isn't the best quality so you did a great job with that ❤

[tippystardust]

@kaddyssammlung

Won't let me link it in a message:

Took me a while to find it again, but it's at 1:08:49 ish to 1:08:59 ish.

Can see where V bumps into III and then that's why they kicked each other ahaha

I have seen gifs of the kicking but not the bumping.

It is darker than I remember it being so sorry if it isn't optimal!

Also that scream you hear at 1:17:14 is me 😂😂😂

Then from 1:36:34 to the very end you can clearly see me and the bf having our picture taken in the bottom right corner 🥺

[tippystardust]

Before I get around to posting anything from Download, here is a video of me nearly getting crushed by a crowd surfer during my second favourite Sleep Token song 🙃

[tippystardust]

Just bringing this back 😂😂

Watched a full recording of Download yesterday and you can see this moment happening from someone else's perspective because the cameraman was basically standing behind us lol.

[kaddyssammlung]

I would never mess with him!

[tippystardust]

Two more from Download I just found on my OneDrive 💜💜💜
