Trade winds
A regular and consistent wind that blows in a particular direction - it can be either perennial or seasonal. The main trade winds are caused by the movement of the earth and the action of the sun on the atmosphere and occur between 30° north and 30° south of the equator.
(x)
They were invaluable in the days of sailing. The southern winds blow from a south-easterly direction, while the winds in the northern hemisphere come from a north-easterly direction. Therefore, different routes were used for Atlantic crossings in both directions. They were known as trade winds because they helped merchant ships such as the ships of the India Companies to trade. The meeting of these particular trade winds just north of the equator leads to the Doldrums, where ships are often stuck for weeks waiting for a wind to carry them back into the Atlantic.

candle light illuminates your most precious features, flickering as your eyes meet mine. soft giggles escape our lips and I can't believe we're still here; we're still us. the trade winds blow as I swollow the illusion whole. the candles, though just burnt out, are long gone. glassy eyes replace the twinkling that was there but a moment ago. I've said the wrong thing, haven't I? the culmination of my percived misdeeds hangs heavy in the air as I try and backtrack. I try to follow the crumbs back to where we started, back to when I knew you were happy and that was because of me. but this is because of me, too, isn't it? stringing vowels and consonants together in any way that will make you look at me like that again, like you understand me, like you don't mind whoever is really running the show behind these walls. I don't know how to behave anymore. do I fawn and roll onto my back? beg until you give in and forgive me? those damn winds always come back and she always caresses every part of me, even the ones I don't let anyone see. she sees it all. there is nothing you can hide from the wind, she will find every last divot and bump and scar and bruise you have on your body.

[ID: a colored, digital illustration featuring @clowns0up-felix 's redesigns of Link and Tetra from Wind Waker. They're playing in the shallows barefoot, and Link uses his baton to send a wave up to Tetra's waist. She flinches, grimacing, and Link laughs. End ID]
i like to think they'd prank each other. they're still kids, after all

I just finished another art trade with the awesome @thetoyboxs and I'm quite happy with it. I drew her OC Ashlyn and the best wimdy boi, Wind! She asked if I could do something a bit more angst-y, and I did so gladly lol - dunno what happened to the poor things but I think they've been running for a while.
