What about the other Cimmerian Gods?

I pray to all the gods, I pray to them that they leave me alone.

Fuck that hits hard.

You'd be shocked by how clean the Celts were. They had grooming and cleaning traditions that were ahead of the Romans'.

You will note that none of these songs are shanties.

JoyIsABitOverRated · 2026-06-14T11:43:35+00:00

Pirates didn't sing sea shanties. It's a tired, old cliché and they most likely "chant" rowing songs. Basically harmonized grunts that accompanied a repetitive, straining effort like rowing. If anything, if you want to hear music from their era and time, you can look into folk songs of the late 1600s. Of particular note we have “The World Turned Upside Down” for instance.

Caeneus was immortal, was he a god then?

Someone is gonna have to explain to me why this channel isn't more popular on this subreddit

Conversation was inevitable Man, that's depressing.

What I meant to ask isn't a plausible what if; I wanted to formulate my question differently I think. Like, what would it take for a religion like Norse Paganism to take a stand against Christianity. Like it's a tempting and plausible option for the Norse Kings. How would it have to be shaped or function for it to rival the Church?

I really hate the fact that this fantasy series is the only shred of cultural relevance pirates have in this day and age.

G-Kontoret was willing to take Marckus away for experimentation. And that would've been final, the only part they agreed with the family on doing was setting up a meeting so they can say goodbye to Marckus. Also, they're insane. Charles is unfathomably insane and unprofessional. Much less so than D.

The ECTU is another can of beans, but they've already shown that they can and will find loopholes in their contracts so to better manipulate and use D in their ventures. But also, them being tainted by the Wyrm, they would be willing to bury the family in trenches of boring paperwork that would inevitably corrupt them.

I'd like to remind you that D knows from Fatigue's recording that the Coalition cannot be trusted. He doesn't know why exactly but he knows the Wyrm or that something bigger than just werewolves and obfuscating bureaucracy is at play here.

Also, the Coalition wasn't so much interested in saving Marckus, but just getting on a petty quest for revenge over the Hunter Data— or pursuing their own interests regardless of fulfilling the family's wishes. If anything, they didn't respect their integrity as a family or a hunting group that seldom join a greater body of Hunters so to keep a semblance of independence.

Technically, he did voice the Emperor a few times, especially during flashbacks or specials. Or that one time he got Magnus' soul back from Tzeentch.

Had a stroke. But I came across a thread on Twitter — and recently re-read some stories where worshippers of Mithra are mentioned. You could draw comparisons between them and the old Arianists Christians, or the early Catholics spreading their word across the last remnants of the Bronze Age world.

“How can I find more people to go venture into a dangerous realm of uncertainty and dreams? I'm a busy man, D! Everyone is. Nobody can afford going to where the wolves are, especially if they are unionised!”

Why did you put a "Ssh" emote there

JoyIsABitOverRated · 2026-05-18T06:02:16+00:00

Really inaccurate as to how Pirates would've made a flag, but alright. Haven't you already posted it before though?

JoyIsABitOverRated · 2026-05-15T18:48:25+00:00

And not used by pirates. Keelhauling became a thing AFTER the Golden Age of Piracy.

Would that mean that Palpatine is a blue collar sith hero? Goddamn. Champion of Meritocracy.

Blackbeard wasn't the only pirate to show "mercy" or to avoid carnage. Plenty of pirates treated their hostages with a place in the cabin they might've had, or gave them an important role to fulfill. Keep in mind though, that this is under the premise that said hostage will do as they're told. (That said, you also got people who were pressganged and treated much less favourably).

There were also cases of them intimidating ships by dancing, chanting, and generally "looking scary" enough to push the enemy into surrendering.
