OFMD, Gentlebeard, season 3. Early 40s, she/her. Minors stay away (sometimes I recommend fanfic). I may block follows from non-pirate fans—nothing personal.🪿🐈⬛🕯️🏴☠️📚🦄🌈

Lastly, we get to ‘Donner’ and ‘Blitzen.’
‘Donner’ was originally ‘Donder,’ which is Standard Dutch meaning “thunder.”
‘Blitzen’ comes from the Standard Dutch ‘bliksem,’ which means “lightning.”
We've always thought these two were the bad boys of the sleigh.

Being on a show with only a few characters makes it even more obvious that Samba has the screen presence of a Hollywood icon. So natural. So lovable and magnetic. I hope he gets a million starring roles after Pluribus and OFMD finally gets renewed when he wins a best actor Oscar in 1-2 years

HI this is one of my favourite books I've EVER READ and if you do not buy and read it immediately I will come down your chimney and WRECK UP THE PLACE you have been warned
🌊 🌈 Simon Jimenez's multi-award winning novel, THE SPEAR CUTS THROUGH WATER, is a sweeping adventure story, an intimate exploration of identity, legacy, and belonging and a love story to its blade-dented bone.
