'Till the End of the Line

Alice 21 USA (well, usually) Just odds and ends, though I seem to have turned into a Marvel blog recently. Ah well though, what are you going to do?

When I was a kid, I thought those pillars went down to the sea floor.

In reality, they usually go down to some large submerged floats.

I dislike this.

Pillars and floats like that are pretty stable, compared to regular boats, so there’s even a research vessel, called FLIP, that purposefully capsizes itself to be more steady when conducting research.

I just can’t help imagining someone forgetting to close a cabinet in that ship before capsizing. How do you even design a ship like that? Obviously it’s not made for long term stays but I’m assuming it has bathrooms, and you’d need to be able to use the controls in either position. I really want to see the inside of that ship

since @hyperactivehedgehog brought it up, here’s the only inside photo in the Scripps Institute of Oceanography’s FLIP Slideshow on flickr:

Lots of footage of the interiors, including the bathroom at 1:30.

"oh how do the pirates in our flag means death just head out in a rowboat and find each other in the middle of the ocean with no maps or anything???"

Modern AU Stede isn't a tailor or a flower shop owner btw. He's a divorced dad in his late 40's who just figured out he's queer and wants to 'engage with his community' and 'do something fun for once' so he opens a queer bar. Unfortunately he has no fucking idea HOW to run a queer bar, like at all. It's the most ridiculous bar you've ever been in. He stocks more tea than alcohol. There is a wall of bookshelves next to a place that's often used as a make shift dance floor. On Tuesdays and Sundays they open early and serve 'brunch' while Stede does dramatic readings of fairytales. 'Perhaps you'd be more comfortable making it a cafe' 'no its a BAR I want it to be a bar' stede insists. Its called 'The Revenge'. Because what is a modern au of if not a bizzare place for queers to hang out?

# dog energy/cat energy but with all the ofmd couples

[imnotgrimimjustagrumpyreaper]

OFMD is like such a gay person fantasy like you spend your whole life as some silly little guy who gets mocked at every turn for everything you love and then all of a sudden this really hot person shows up like "YOOO, this shits cool as hell!!" and also they're madly in love with you.
