Yay, a new semester, new lectures... and somehow the constant, yet monotone background sound of some blabbering guy wearing a Tweed jacket with leather patches down there far away from you, I have muse to scribble things again. I cannot do any porn, hetero or whatever you like, as I am constantly watched drawing, so it's time for NAUTICALIA XDThe Venom ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4482524 ), former British sixth rate Man o' War, was launched in Portsmouth, December 12th 1718. Dozends of foremen, watching over an army of day laybourers, sail makers, carpenters, blacksmiths, coopers and many other kinds of craftsmen, employed at His Majesty's Naval Base, built this ship to be a jewel in the Britannic king's fleet.
When the naval architect had finished his highly detailed building plan in 1715, he was - by some personal misfortunes - inspired to name her "Venom". He committed suicide shortly after.
At Portsmouth, the chief sculptor responsible for the ornamental decorations had problems finding a suitable motive for the figurehead, but after some sleepless nights, he finally ordered an eight feet high woodblock and started his work. The result should bring terror and doom over Britain's enemies - yet, that's life: The Venom was boarded and taken by pirates, Jaquard duSang captain, right after the frigate arrived at Port Drake during the sack of that very harbour.
Finally, the Venom does bring terror, and certainly sudden death, but without hoisting the Royal Navy's colours, but the glorious black standard.

Either way, still pretty cool if terrifying.

Very gruesome, it really does send chills up my spine.
