#deck lantern

[ltwilliammowett]

A whale oil ship’s gimbal lantern, 18th -19th century

Designed with an ingenious gyroscopic mechanism, the little reservoir and wick in the centre would remain upright at all times, even when the whole thing was swinging violently in rough seas. The outer cage was designed to keep the naked flame away from the rigging or sails or anything else that might catch fire.

sorry I can’t talk right now I’m too choked up about chade fallstar living half his life in the shadows, being named for a life like that as a bastard, and then naming his own bastard children after things that give light

I enjoy this brand of creature

Guy Gardner: sometimes nuisance, often great friend, forever ginger, former social worker and teacher, current Green Lantern and... father.

"What the fuck," says Kyle. He was pretty exhausted from his latest assignment, and hadn't even hit the showers or went to bed yet, so he probably misheard. Or was hallucinating.

"What, Jane?" says Hal, like that's a normal fucking thing to say when John suddenly starts talking about running into Guy's daughter.

"What."

"Jane, or RJ, whichever she says. You haven't met her yet?" he continues as he digs through a bag. "You're missing out Kyle, she's a killer cook. Smart girl too, got a massive scholarship when she got into NYU. Might've been top of her class? Aha!"

Here, Hal pulls out a bag of brownies and crows in victory. Kyle's headache only intensifies.

"Oh, life is so good to me sometimes. Kyle, I'd offer, but I value these more than my life, so you're going to have to do all the hard work yourself."

Whatever that means. Hal starts eating the brownies like he's reenacting a vaguely pornographic food commercial. Kyle grimaces and turns away to look at John.

"Since when did Guy have a daughter? I've never heard anything about her," he asks.

"I'm not too sure myself, but I imagine it's been a couple years now. She was about 16 when he took her in, if I'm remembering right," John answers mildly.

Kyle blanches at that because, well, again, what the fuck. It sounded like she was already out of college, or at least finished a degree. That was probably at least 5 years of her being around somewhere.

John must see something on his face, because he says, "We didn't find out ourselves for a while, and only by accident."

"Yeah," Hal adds, slightly muffled. "He'd gone radio silent after a mission, and we were worried 'cause he got pretty roughed up. So we show up at his place and whaddya know! Some teenage girl, and a redhead at that, answers the door with the nastiest look on her face. Thought she'd deck us, honestly. And then Guy rushes out - totally fine for the record - and nearly flips his shit at us."

John gives Hal an unimpressed look.

"Get cleaned up and rest, Kyle," he says. "You'll see Guy in a few days, you can ask him then. It's high time you met her anyway, considering her ring."

"Her what?"

I haven't posted anything in over a week and I wanna say it's because I've been reassessing my relationship with social media and whether or not my daily habits are healthy, but it's really because I've been reading The Terror by Dan Simmons during a real-life cold snap and this book was so fucking scary I was actually losing sleep over it.

But I finally finished that long-ass book, so I'm better now!

The entire section on Mariner and Boimler in the season 5 interview is so funny because the interviewer will say “Now let’s talk about the relationship between Mariner and Boimler, WHICH IS NOT ROMANTIC-“ and Jack Quaid will respond “I like that they are a PURELY PLATONIC FRIENDSHIP”. The show hates Marinler shippers so much, like what did we do you y’all /j T-T
