free my man. He did all of that and will continue to do even worse, probably

#charles vane probably #and so many others

Mulder truly is the male character of all time. He's a whore. He's repressed. He almost dies more times that I can count on one hand. He gets into physical fights with his boss. He believes in aliens. He's right about the aliens. Scully holds him on her lap and strokes his back once. He wears a kickass coat. His first name is Fox, for God's sake.

Height gap romance except the shorter one is frequently depicted in situations where they are contextually taller. The taller one sitting while the shorter one looms over them. Both of them lying in bed with the taller one’s head pressed to the shorter one’s chest. The shorter one straddling the taller one’s lap and leaning down for a kiss. The taller one on their knees as the shorter one tilts their head up. Please, it makes me go feral

#uuh yes

One thing I notice a lot in the age of streaming services is an older show will get added to one of them and suddenly your dash is full of gifs from several mutuals. But it’s still not particularly community-enhancing because a) everyone’s watching at their own pace and b) I watched it at some other point in time and the stars aren’t aligned for me to re-watch it right now lol.

#the black sails fandom seems to experience a revival rn bc it was added to netflix in the us #just when I started watching it #which is very funny because I don't live in the US and watch it on the cursed Freevee channel on amazon #the things I do for queer pirates

Special sails

We are more familiar with ships that go up to the topgallant sail (t'gallant or t'garns'l), but there are still some special sails that are above it, these are the Royal, the Skysail and above that the Moonraker. Because of the height they reached, these ships were also called skyscrapers, but please do not confuse them with the skyscraper sail, which was hoisted above them in a triangular shape on much larger ships like clipper or steal barques during the 19th and early 20th century.

Royal

A royal is a small sail flown immediately above the topgallant on square rigged sailing ships. It was originally called the "topgallant royal" and was used in light and favourable winds. Royal sails were normally found only on larger ships with masts tall enough to accommodate the extra canvas. Royals were introduced around the turn of the 18th century but were not usually flown on the mizzenmast until the end of that century. It gave its name to a Dutch term for a light breeze-the Royal Sail Breeze or bovenbramzeilskoelte was a Force 2 wind on the Beaufort Scale.

Skysail

In the course of the 18th century (although the first written records do not exist until 1807), skysails began to be hoisted over the Royal, again in good weather and light winds.

Moonraker

The word itself dates back to the 18th century and was the name for a sail that was hoisted directly above the sky sail, and it was only hoisted when there was very little wind, because if the wind was too strong, it would simply tear off.

Watersail

A watersail is a sail hung below the boom. It is used mostly on gaff rig boats for extra downwind performance when racing. Often a watersail will be improvised from an unused foresail. Its psychological effects may be more effective than its aerodynamic ones. Surprisingly, its use can be traced back to as early as 1373. Possibly even earlier, since the 12th century.
