Hello everyone! For the sake of consistency and efficiency, I’ve decided to create a separate account that’ll act as my official writeblr - thequilledsabre! I’ll be posting all future pieces of poetry, prose, writing excerpts, links for my novel(s), etc. on there, while this will act as my main blog. I'll also be interacting and sharing work from my fellow writers out there. Please be sure to follow me on there for more literary works!

Good morning/afternoon/evening to you all. Normally, I wouldn’t think I’d have to do something like this, but I’m in need of some help financially. Since moving to a new state with my wife & son, things have been pretty hard for us as our debts keep on climbing. He is my only son, barely 5 ½ months old, but he is the light of my life & we want to give him a brighter future. That’s why I’ve come before you all to ask you to simply consider purchasing a copy of one of my two books, a Dystopian/Sci-Fi novel titled Blood Tournaments and a poetry collection titled The Caterpillar Man. I know it’s a shot in the dark, & it’s very likely this post won’t see much of any traction at all, but I’m trying everything I can here. While I may not be especially aware of everyone’s economic situation, I do know what I’m asking may be a lot - especially for some stranger you’ve never met on the internet. Nevertheless, I would be forever in everyone’s debt if they would be so kind as to consider helping.
I’m not asking for a handout out of any sort - I just need a little help is all. You may see this same post in different communities on here as well since I’m trying to reach as many people as possible. Below are the links to both books. Thank you very much for your time & consideration. I hope you all have wonderful days/nights & may all of your writing endeavors be fruitful. - Sincerely, Joshua Villanueva Blood Tournaments - Barnes & Noble

Wait, wait…. Is that seriously it? How their clothes go?

Wear blanket. Conquer world.
That last one looks dope
Squares and rectangles: easy to weave!! No cutting means no hemming.
And easy to construct, you don’t have to have complicated seaming and patterning to turn fabric into clothing!

This sort of clothing solution wasn’t just for the Mediterranean, or northern Africa, either. Behold the Belted Plaid:

Has anyone already reblogged this with saris? It’s cool how many cultures have similarities like this hidden in plain sight.
Since we are here might as well share the dhoti and the lungi
It’s only men in the photos but really anyone can wear them. I am wearing a lungi right now.
I also know Thailand and Sri Lanka have their versions of a lungi as well.
“can i read your draft?” can you survive secondhand embarrassment?
your writing doesn’t have to be perfect. it just has to make someone feel something.
Reenactor throws a spear at a drone
What a time to be alive.
“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.
The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.
Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)
I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it
just so everyone knows, this has already been memorialized in a runestone
the runes are actually stylized Russian writing so here’s a translation!
here’s an unobscured version of the runestone
“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”
This post is ancient and stupid but I still laugh whenever I see it
"The problem with trying to be historically accurate, is that history doesn't care"
So much of the time we think of historical cultures as being very uniform, but people have always been weird, and our expectations of past behaviour don't always match the reality!
