[urban raven]

statistically correct

[nova monolith]

[lapis blade]

DanB just take or reupload contents uploaded from Pixiv or twitter in their platform by users then is moderated by how much people upvotes the art, if not approved or didn't get enough upvotes or a lot of down votes it gets removed from DanB

[devout bough]

same

Danbooru just as a UI feels nicer

[lapis blade]

[urban raven]

ok time to watch like, netflix and get to 12-4 since ive been lazy and putting that off for some time

[weak parrot]

Tempesta is pretty much the only playable faction in game to have truly near endless potential

because their ships come from an older era

so you have to lot more to work with

[solid whale]

Also Pirates are fun

[silver bear]

i shall return to singing like an idiot and building up the Royal Navy

[weak parrot]

and they’re not tied down to any one country

[devout bough]

Watch me propose a billion designs to Marine Nationale

So they technically have endless "paper" ships

Paper ships are less fun than actual sailing ships though

She was originally armed with 22 guns, probably comprising 16 demi-culverins on the single gundeck and 6 sakers on the quarterdeck. At the Restoration in 1660 she was taken into the Royal Navy as HMS Oxford. By 1666 she was officially rated at 24 guns (16 demi-culverins and 8 sakers), but actually carried 34 guns, comprising 21 demi-culverins, 2 sakers, 5 minions and 6 3-pounders. The Oxford took part during the Second Anglo-Dutch War in the Battle of Lowestoft in 1665.[1]

At the start of 1669 the Oxford, leased to the Governor of Jamaica for a privateering raid to be led by pirate captain Henry Morgan, was in a bay off the Île-à-Vache (off western Hispaniola) when on 2 January she was destroyed in an explosion of unknown cause in which over 200 men died, with only 10 survivors (the latter including Henry Morgan).[2]

I hated it since I live in a major city seeing them making out like they haven’t seen each other in years

That’s because the companies behind the clothing more target women since they think it’s a women dominated field

[meager haven]

Also really hate how I wasted a blue rainbow book earlier today cause of eepiness.

[red sapphire]

Ouch

But they will do that because they know women will buy different colors to match their outfit

[meager haven]

Okay but are you feeling sexy nun, angel nun, or zombie nun today?

Zombie it is

But if you’re being- yeah shit sorry man.
