The most successful pirate in history was a Chinese prostitute. Cheng I Sao had an unbeatable fleet with 80,000 sailors, which was bigger than most countries’ navies, and the government eventually had to give up and offer her a truce. She retired with her loot, opened a gambling house, and later died, peacefully, a 69-year-old grandmother. SourceSource 2Source 3
Im sorry to hear about that, though spells and crystals definitely won’t cure her cancer or anything like that. If she is getting proper treatment you can offer them as additional help, but I do not make spells or portions for serious medical conditions because I am not a doctor or a medical professional. It also is in my FAQ that I do not offer spells or anything like that for serious medical conditions. I do hope she is strong through it though and I hope she is seeing some good professionals.
People who think a woman breastfeeding her baby is sexual seriously need professional help.
Seriously, there is an infant right up on that titty. What are you gonna do, remove the baby so you can oogle a nipple?
She’s getting oggled because of what the tit in a baby’s mouth means. She’s fertile, she’s proven, she’s ready to breed. There’s nothing sexier than a woman who’s able and willing to breed.
Breastfeeding is literally birth control. The amount of lactation required to sustain baby is so energy intensive that it prevents ovulation. The average breastfeeding parent takes 14 months to become fertile again.
So, not fertile and if you think “willing to breed” describes anyone who’s had a baby in the last six months… I’d conclude that you’ve never spoken to another human being about babies or parenthood in any capacity, ever.

Working on a personal comic that I may post, idk but I’m doing character sketches. Anyone have tips for drawing dreadlocks? I want to try to keep them stylized but wonderful and based on real ones. I admit im struggling a bit. Thanks!
In Philippine mythology, Bulan was a moon deity who was said to be so lovely that fearsome mermaids called the Magindara became tame, & beautiful lotus flowers shied away from his presence. To this day, he is said to sleep in the arms of his husband, Sidapa, in their mountain home.
“Does the decaf coffee have caffeine?” What the fuck do you think!
“Can I get a bacon sandwich”
“Which one sir? We have three of them”
“The one with the bacon on it”
Hi my name is Customer McDumbass and I ordered six frappaccinos, all different, during a rush right before my flight is supposed to board and I’m mad my drinks aren’t done yet!
Um. Decaf has caffeine. Chemically decaffeinated somewhat less so than Swiss water process decaf, but it still has enough to fuck with particularly sensitive people.
I mentioned this in the replies but the customer asked because they wanted the coffee with the MOST caffeine and thought decaf was that. It was genuinely stupid I promise
Me: “I have a small cappuccino for Caitlin!”
Customer: “What? But I ordered a large Americano!”
Me: “What’s your name?”
Customer: “Laurie”
I have customers walk away with the wrong drink so often because of that constantly. Like ma’am, you ordered a large frap. Does this medium hot cup really seem like it’s the right beverage for you???????
“And WHY exactly can’t I use my coupon?”
“…because your coupon is for a regular priced item, and your item is on sale.”
“Well, how was I supposed to KNOW it was on sale?”
“Well, ma’am, there was a sign right above it on the shelf–”
“I came in here to SHOP, not to READ.”
Dude I have people with bones coming out of their body asking me if I think it’s an emergency and if they should go to the hospital or wait till it gets better. Like humans are just plain stupid
WHY CANT I USE MY COUPON TWICE???
“Where are my vouchers? I was told I would get them!”
“No sir, you took out business with us two months before the voucher offer started.”
“So I’m going to get my vouchers?”
“No sir, because you started business with us before the offer began.”
“I want my vouchers!”
“You aren’t eligible for any voucher sir.”
“This is ridiculous! I was told I would get vouchers.”
“Actually sir we’ve listened to all the calls, and no one mentioned the vouchers to you.”
“…So when will I get my vouchers?”
B o I
“I didnt get my voucher for breakfast!”
“Its all digital now sir. Just tell them your last name and your status in our program”
“I want my voucher!!”
“Yes sir, its a digit number list just tell the hostess your-”
“I WANT MY VOUCHER! IM CALLING CORPORATE!”
or how about:
“Okay your total is ____, did you park with us? If so keep a room key so you can exit the structure.”
“I know how to check out!”
*five minutes later guest storms in*
“YOU TOOK MY FUCKING KEYS SO I CANT GET OUT! YOU DUMB BITCH! NONE OF YOU ARE TRAINED! ALL OF YOU ARE INCOMPETENT!”
Like being impregnated by some being on the astral plane
I am all for astral travel and whatnot but I also dont believe that anything that “happens” to you in the astral can affect you physically. Mentally maybe, but like some people think you can die irl if you get hurt on the astral plane. I dont believe it.
after reading chapter 46 i got confused and curious of what kind of relationship the uncle had with bum and how actually the uncle felt about him
at first i thought bum was to the uncle the child of his ex-girlfriend and brother whom he hated a lot cuz both of them sort of betrayed him when they got together and now he have to take care of their child and since he sees him as the “product” of his father’s sins or whatever he put his anger for those past years on him and thats why he was always abusive to him.
and because bum (physically) looks a lot like his mom he begun imagining having sex with her by raping him.
so I thought bum was just a person who he hated but is forced to take care of and was taking advantages of that by raping him
but he actually was kind to him or wanted to be kind to him at some points…
what does this mean? does he sometimes sees him as a son? and he switches between being kind and cruel depending on his mood like sangwoo?
but he says stuff to him like….
he says stuff that lovers or ex-lovers would usually say to each other. so I assume he somehow is exchanging bum’s mom with bum not just sexually but completely cuz he couldn’t forget about her. he wants to believe that eunjoo (bum) wants to be with him and doesn’t want to left him for someone else… and he also wants to believe that bum was enjoying it when he forces himself on him cuz he actually wants him in that way too (or that what rapests do to justify them selfs)
so when he thought bum was being with someone else now and is actually rebellious to him he said these stuff…
i think bum was an important person in the uncle’s life and thats why he came all the way to sangwoo’s house ( that doesn’t mean he liked him or cared about him) he needed him to fill in the gab that eunjoo made when she left him and bum was the victim to all of this.
I just waned to share my thoughts and i would like to hear opinions about this topic
I rarely add my two cents into things but I feel the uncle was kinder to Bum whdn bum was younger because he didnt look like his mother quite yet. He didnt see his ex just a kid. It also is implied that the uncle didnt use to live with the grandma, but rather on his own. That is why he and Bum didnt see to know each other in the flashback, Bum was living with his grandma.
It seems the uncle moved in with them both later on, possibly after being laid off or demoted. It is implied his uncle is a drinker, possibly another reason he moved in. That likely alcoholism mixed with Bum being older likely triggered the start of the abuse an later sexual abuse towards Bum.
Is it just me or Bum lied to Sangwoo? When he was opening up about his self harm and telling him he grew up with his grandparents, he said “I live with my uncle now”.
But he doesn’t?
When Sangwoo goes to Bum’s apartment to collect a bunch of his stuff it’s clear that he lives on his own, since he has stopped paying the rent and everything is messy (and there are his sex toys in the bathroom), so obviously no one else lives there.
It doesn’t make sense for the uncle to tell him “let’s go home”
Because they! Don’t! Live! Together!
Bum has his own (crappy and shabby) apartment!
This is just helping me to convince myself even more that he is hallucinating (read my previous theory where I talk about it if you want!)
Alright bye 🙂
What has been said in the notes makes me wonder: what if his uncle blackmailed him and let him live alone in exchange of more abuse and rape? Bum doesn’t work so he wouldn’t have the money to pay all the monthly bills of his apartment … If that’s the case, it would also make sense for his uncle to ask him if he was selling his body to his ‘new owner’ in exchange of living in Sangwoo’s house, since Bum must have not enough money of his own to live in complete independence.
I think what @koulej said was right since in this panel, it doesn’t look like their house when bum used to live when he was a child, this place look like Bum’s shabby apartment where he lives alone, but his uncle repeatedly came there to rape him
just to fulfill his disgusting desire
and as an exchange for paying his university fees??
his uncle might made him drunk since we can see some wain bottles in his room, it doesn’t make any sense that Bum bought the wain by his own will, since he told Sangwoo that he never drink, but his uncle made him. or maybe not, since he said his uncle made him drunk in HIS room, not his. But who knows?
True!! 😮 ^^^
About the getting drunk thing, maybe Bum just referred to the first time uncle made him drink alcohol, which might have happened in his room back when they were still living together. What we see in the panels you posted might have happened later when he was living alone and his uncle visited him with bad intentions to ‘make him gain that money’. Maybe he brought some alcohol every time he visited.
Nasty… Urgh. Now, I truly understand why you don’t ever want to see your uncle, Bum. 😦 It’s make me wonder, if his uncle want to rape Bum, why do he want to make bum living alone? I think it’ll not cause any problem if he doing it at home and let bum keep living with his grandma?
All the reason I can think of is, his grandma might asking him to send Bum to the college, but he make bum living separately with his grandma so he can do all the nasty things to bum, without his grandma ever know + for paying his university fees. two birds in one stone? “oh do you want me to waste my money on your fucking college for filthy brat like you? Pay it with your body first”
AND THAT’S SO DISGUSTING!
Huh, for some reason I hadn’t considered that the uncle was paying for the apartment and Bum’s college. But of course. How else would Bum pay for it? That implies it was a pretty regular thing.
The raven mocker is a monster of Cherokee folklore. In Beyond the Pale they stalk remote forests, preying upon those who get lost within their woods. They draw heavily upon the Cherokee myth and a European creature known as a valravn.
Raven mockers can be used as an excellent threat against players out in the wilderness, able to ratchet up tension as they attempt to move through its territory. Even when they are safe in civilization, a raven mocker faced with cold iron can become a reoccurring threat, even if the party has escaped into an urban environment.
This also marks the first step in improving the presentation of monster lore entries, integrating text and artwork together. Please, like, share and comment on what you think! Beyond the Pale thrives on word of mouth and every bit of exposure helps.

oxford was built and operational as a college before the rise of the mayans and cleopatra lived in a time nearer to pizza hut’s invention than to the pyramids being built
I need a noncomprehensive history book that covers Known World History in time periods, like “in this century, all this shit was happening concurrently” and not just all spread out so I have to piece it together like some unpaid uneducated scholar
Mongols were fighting Samurai in Japan and Knights in Europe at the same time.
Star Wars a New Hope came out the same year as the last execution in France by Guillotine.
Abraham Lincoln and Edgar Allen Poe were friends in their early 20′s.
When the Great Pyramids were being built there were areas that still had Woolly Mammoths roaming.
Harvard University didn’t teach calculus in its first few years after being established because calculus wasn’t invented yet.
Nintendo was founded two years after the Eiffel Tower was constructed
This is the book you want: The Timetables of History – going year by year (or in the earlier sections, at least century by century) and showing you what was going on in various parts of the world in several categories (e.g. Politics, Literature, Science, etc.) Super useful for visualizing what events were happening at the same time.
ok, i’m built like a noble ox. like i am 6′1 and i am sturdy lady. like thighs for days. if you try to move me. you will be moved. body images aside (lol, i am self conscious about my size, yeah it’s life)
so like, i am very used to girls standing next to me in public places. i end up acquiring a pack of ladies. just because women are like, that lady is a lady men stay away from. i am jerk kryptonite (usually, i get my fair share of creeps, such is life) but most men have self preservation that this 6′1 ox will break them. and i will
so usually i am in my own phone and look up to another lady standing next to me. and i will immediately look up and make eye contact and nod. like, you know, that nod. i see you and you can talk if there is something wrong. i end up on a reg basis being a defacto bodyguard to these young ladies and small women while waiting for buses and in the metro.
i am a large oak tree. i protect the other birds.
ladies, we all got roles. find tree in the wild. we’re always happy to provide shelter from the creeps.
i’ve regularly said, “move on, she doesn’t want to be your friend”
I’m in love
Story time: So I’m 6’2 and “big boned” as my mother would call it. This happens to me all the time and a couple years ago I managed to get the the front row of a Macklemore concert. This woman, probably 5’4, squeezes up next to me and says, “Hey, I’m here alone, do you mind if I stand in front of you?” Of course not. So we’re all having a good time, dancing around, when all of a sudden this Bro™️ is behind me telling me that I’m too tall to be in the front row and it’s not fair. Now, keep in mind that this concert was outside, in February, in Vail CO. It was FREEZING so not only am I of the stature I am but I had my hair up and a beanie on and a big coat and boots. We try our best to ignore him but Bro™️ is drunk and very clearly thinks I’m a man and proceeds to punch me in the back of the head.
LIL SIS WENT OFF, FOLKS. This tiny woman literally moved me out of the way, jumped up, and head butted Bro™️ in the face with such a fury. I thought she was going to kill him, it was truly a beautiful moment in my life.
The moral of the story is that for every tree in the wild there is a cute little birdy who will defend its shelter to the death. Stick together ladies👯♀️
I may have chronic pain due to nerve issues. Its a long story. The chiropractor was able to relieve most of it but I’m still sore with shooting pains. My legs are staring to ache now too. Basically it seems that the main ‘bundle’ of nerves in my neck are being pinched a lot. We are unsure of why or how but I may need to go on some medications for this. Though for now I just need to see a doctor once I have time and money for it. Just wanted to keep you all updated.
anyone with upcoming past life readings please message me so we can either reschedule until after I have gotten proper treatment or game plan on what is going on with my health or for a refund. I do apologize.

A faerie introduces himself. Then, holding out a hand, asks, “And your name, please?”
And, like a fool, you give it to him.
I got asked for clarification on this (but can’t reblog that particular post cuz on mobile), which I’m more than happy to provide.
In this post, a faerie is asking for ‘your’ name. The way he is wording it, however, and the accompanying beckoning motion, makes it seem as though he is asking for you to physically hand your name over. Which, because of how some faeries operate, he is.
In this instance, saying your name aloud to the fae would be literally giving your name over to him, the exact consequences of which are left up to the imagination–usually, a fae even knowing your name gives it some measure of power over you, but giving something your name would likely let it completely take over your life.
In this instance, the wording you want to use is something like “I will not give you my name, but I will tell you that it’s [name].” Alternately, you can just lie to him.
Might i suggest the less direct yet still name-preserving “you may call me…”? It dodges the request while still giving an answer of a name, which does not even have to be yours, but any name you feel like telling the fae they can use to refer to you. I would recommend “Ainsel”.

writer: this is one of my male characters! he cares about his guy friends and loves them deeply.
tumblr: oh! so he’s gay!
writer: uh…no, he’s attracted to women.
tumblr: ….so he’s bi!
writer: uhh…no…….he loves his guy friends but he’s not romantically/sexually attracted to them.
tumblr: ….so you’re homophobic.
writer:
Healthy male friendships are almost as rare in mainstream fiction as gay male relationships, and maybe more rare in fanfiction. Let men be wonderful friends without pushing a romantic relationship, just like men and women should be able to be wonderful friends without the pressure of a romantic relationship.
*AGGRESSIVELY SLAMS REBLOG UNTIL I DIE*
This is literally the reason men are so terrified of being open about loving each other platonically, because they don’t want people to assume they’re gay just because they can be supportive of their fucking friends
caught the tail end of a radio commercial for a regional aquarium and it said “do it for the gelatinous zooplankton” and that’s who we’re living for today friends
The fact that the gay community needs like 18 app major apps just to fuck or meet someone is very telling. Grindr for white twinks, scruff and growlr for white bears and chasers, jack’d for anyone who isn’t white (and weed), etc… Half of the profiles on Grindr say things like “No fats, fems, or blacks”, “Asians, move along” or “White only please. Not racist, just a preference.” We scream at the world for treating us like outcasts yet we segregate and marginalize ourselves. Don’t ever forget that misogyny, transphobia and racism are just as present in the lgbtq+ community as it is amongst heterosexual people.
The white gays on tumblr dot com when they see this post
“Misogyny transphobia and racism are JUST AS PRESENT IN THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY AS IT IS AMONGST HETEROSEXUAL PEOPLE.”

Yes lots of witches make infused water spells, milkshake spells, juice spells etc. Just make sure to date and label so you don’t drink it past expiration.
As for spell writing and potion creation: research. Research correspondences, research how herbs interact with each other, research safety and toxicity of things like herbs, plants, oils etc; And practice witchcraft in general. Jumping right into making spells without any understanding of how they work is not going to help you much.
Well the future always changes, so no tarot reading should be ever taken as ‘exact for sure fact’. Secondly, most people over analyze when it comes to reading for themselves, I’ve watched plenty of tarot readers (myself included) dig way too deeply into their own reading, often seeing more ‘disaster’ than is actually there. So it could honestly be a mix of these two things.
To help bring in 2017 this New Year, I’ve revamped my Witchy “Planner” and to help out my fellow witches here on Tumblr, I’ve decided to make a series of posts of all the things I keep in my Planner.For more about My Witchy “Planner” see this post.
In a green plastic sleeve in the front of my Planner I keep a list of all the Challenges that I want to do. As of right now, all of the Challenges I have are witchcraft related, but there are plenty of other Challenges that you can include in your planner!
I find it helpful to keep the Challenges in a place where you can constantly refer to them. Some days it helps to have a list of prompts that will help you write when you get into that writing mood!
