Sails of the Ancient Period, by J. Whitewright 2011
The oldest archaeological evidence of the use of a square rig on a vessel is an image on a clay disc from Mesopotamia dating back to 5000 BC, but it can be assumed that these sails were in use for much longer.
The leteen/settee rig was probably introduced around 2nd century AD and was widely adopted in the 5th century AD and was used either single or combined. The gaff rig appeared surprisingly late, with the Dutch in 1525, and the rig seems to have started in the 1600s.

Okay but why does the Obey Me fantom hates Michael so much ?
Like genuinely, they make him sound like a pedo, manipulative bitch of some sort when he's just a wet cat who misses his friends bro.
He likes sweets, teaches angels about the stars because he likes them, looks a lot like Lucifer, misses the brothers, hold onto Lucifer's belongings since his fall, wants to meet Mc because Luke won't stop talking about them and y'all make him look like some MONSTER ?? BECAUSE HE DID HIS JOB ???
"He threw the brothers and Simeon out of the Celestial Realm" THAT'S HIS FUCKING ROLE YOU DUMBASS. AND HE STILL MISSES THEM THOUSANDS OF YEARS LATER.
And by the way, if someone who knew the importance of an object for me because it was my friend's that I could no longer see and stole it from me FOR SOMEONE THEY MET LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO ??? BRO I WOULD HAVE SNAPPED. His reaction was both NORMAL and professional.
Anyway all the angels solos !!

thinking about. i dont know how to phrase this really but. chloe and frank.
like. when Chloe killed Frank i (, personally,) feel like her guilt from it was less because she killed Frank, and More because she Killed Someone (and their dog).
but!!! thats not to say she didnt feel guilty for killing Frank. because she definitely did. because on some level. despite everything. despite all of his shitty behavior. a part of her still cared for him. that tiny 15-17ish year old part in her still cared for him.
because that 15-17ish year old with intense abandonment issues in her only had. a small handful of people in her life that actually cared for her, and when THOSE few people aren’t even doing the best job at it— it’s no shit that Chloe’s standards for Good Friends are going to be Immensely dropped.
and so. it’s kind of like what happened with Rachel, but WAY less intense. when she found someone who didn’t hate her, and was willing to hang around her—after so so long of people hating her and not wanting to be around her— it makes sense that part of her would kinda latch onto them a little bit.
and so, even after all of the shit she’s learned he did— even when Frank starts to hate her— even when he threatens Max and her’s lives— part of her keeps remembering him as one of the few guys who stuck around when no one else did.
it’s just that. no matter how bad the person— if you’ve known someone for years, and they were one of the only nice people to you in a town where theres like. four people that are nice to you— it’s gonna hurt if you kill them. even if it was self defense. even if it was entirely their own fault— even if you two aren’t on even remotely good terms anymore.
ESPECIALLY for such a sentimental person like Chloe. taking that in consideration it makes me wonder. maybe she didn’t feel bad for killing Frank. maybe she felt bad for killing the person Frank used to be to her. but maybe she realized that That Frank already died long ago.
but yeah. im mentally ill. take everything i said with a grain of salt considering it is 12:07 AM.

History and folklore nerd has been triggered by the incorrect timeline in a comics inspired movie, again!
In Justice League Dark, Jason Blood and Etrigan have been bonded together for 500 years, so since the 16th century, the Renaissance era. However, Jason is a knight of Camelot and Etrigan served Merlin. Camelot and Merlin are not from the Renaissance. Yes, the stories were still told, but the stories had a time period, which is the 5th and 6th centuries. If Jason is a Camelot's knight, then he was bonded to Etrigan 1500 years ago. There's a full millennium between the correct centuries and the one given in the movie, omg. It's a totally different culture he grew up with.

A VERY DESCRIPTIVE PROFILE OF YOUR MUSE Arisen & Pawn Edition
tagged by @bees-tes-blog and @sangre! Sorry for the delay!
shoutout to @bardistraee for helping with the zodiac stuff <2
name: Epilear
nicknames: His grandpa calls him "little puffer". He is very embarrassed and is currently trying to stop his grandpa from calling him that. Sometimes people call him Lear + nicknames connected to that.
age: 24
race: Human
gender: Male, he/him
orientation: Allohet
zodiac: Pisces
moral alignment: Chaotic Good (Neutral)
class/subclass: Warfarer - predominantly magick archer + archer. He loves hand-to-hand close-ranged combat, but he is terribly reckless about it so it's in his best interests to refrain.
background: When he washed up on the shores near Harve village in a little basket, the old fisherman who found him immediately made the trip to the capital to deliver him to folk who could care for him. The Gracious Hand took him in and raised him for a short while, but the fisherman eventually came back after a year or so because he was worried. His conscience couldn't bear to leave tiny Epilear alone in the orphanage a second time, so he ended up bringing him home with him and raising him as his own (grand)son. Growing up, Epilear proved to be a difficult, awkward and scrappy child, leading his grandpa to call him "little puffer" because of all the fights he got into. When he was younger, Epilear was also moody and taciturn, preferring to brood by himself while fishing or mending nets. He took after his grandpa well enough in regards to the fishing trade, but he still harboured a love for old stories and legends about heroes.
interests/hobbies: Fishing, heroes of legend, knife fighting, soulmates.
languages: Common
profession: Fisherman, (temporarily) drafted into local militia, Arisen.

smokes: No.
drugs: Mayhap. He is willing to experiment, especially with edibles.
