"From thousands of years ago until now, the architecture of a land has represented both the land and its nation. Each architectural style has its own elements and parameters, and #Iranian architecture is no exception. It is one of the oldest, most original, and most influential styles in the world, with a history spanning over 6,000 years. Notable features include huge arches, tall columns, and geometric designs involving complex mathematical calculations. This rich history shows the creativity of ancient builders and continues to inspire people today." 📸: @ghasem.baneshi

If Tommy's name is actually Thomas Kinard, but he definitely goes by Tommy, why does he insist on calling Buck, Evan?

No one, and I mean no one, will ever be more fond of Buck & his yapping than Eddie “Heart Eyes” Diaz 🥹

Also on a completely unrelated note, Eddie to Chris about his late wife: “To be honest, she did most of the talking. I was just happy to be near her.”

Everything's going well in Buck and Tommy's relationship. They've loved each other for over a year now. Everyone around them think they're in it for the long haul. The couple are not engaged yet; but Buck thinks it's only a matter of time. Especially given the multiple late night discussions around how comfortable they'd be calling each other husbands.

Except, the both of them failed to discuss one key subject on which they both seemed to have opposing opinions.

Children.

Please make a post about the story of the RMS Carpathia, because it's something that's almost beyond belief and more people should know about it.

Carpathia received Titanic’s distress signal at 12:20am, April 15th, 1912. She was 58 miles away, a distance that absolutely could not be covered in less than four hours.

(Californian’s exact position at the time is…controversial. She was close enough to have helped. By all accounts she was close enough to see Titanic’s distress rockets. It’s uncertain to this day why her crew did not respond, or how many might not have been lost if she had been there. This is not the place for what-ifs. This is about what was done.)

Carpathia’s Captain Rostron had, yes, rolled out of bed instantly when woken by his radio operator, ordered his ship to Titanic’s aid and confirmed the signal before he was fully dressed. The man had never in his life responded to an emergency call. His goal tonight was to make sure nobody who heard that fact would ever believe it.

All of Carpathia’s lifeboats were swung out ready for deployment. Oil was set up to be poured off the side of the ship in case the sea turned choppy; oil would coat and calm the water near Carpathia if that happened, making it safer for lifeboats to draw up alongside her. He ordered lights to be rigged along the side of the ship so survivors could see it better, and had nets and ladders rigged along her sides ready to be dropped when they arrived, in order to let as many survivors as possible climb aboard at once.

I don’t know if his making provisions for there still being survivors in the water was optimism or not. I think he knew they were never going to get there in time for that. I think he did it anyway because, god, you have to hope.

Carpathia had three dining rooms, which were immediately converted into triage and first aid stations. Each had a doctor assigned to it. Hot soup, coffee, and tea were prepared in bulk in each dining room, and blankets and warm clothes were collected to be ready to hand out. By this time, many of the passengers were awake–prepping a ship for disaster relief isn’t quiet–and all of them stepped up to help, many donating their own clothes and blankets.

And then he did something I tend to refer to as diverting all power from life support.

Here’s the thing about steamships: They run on steam. Shocking, I know; but that steam powers everything on the ship, and right now, Carpathia needed power. So Rostron turned off hot water and central heating, which bled valuable steam power, to everywhere but the dining rooms–which, of course, were being used to make hot drinks and receive survivors. He woke up all the engineers, all the stokers and firemen, diverted all that steam back into the engines, and asked his ship to go as fast as she possibly could. And when she’d done that, he asked her to go faster.

I need you to understand that you simply can’t push a ship very far past its top speed. Pushing that much sheer tonnage through the water becomes harder with each extra knot past the speed it was designed for. Pushing a ship past its rated speed is not only reckless–it’s difficult to maneuver–but it puts an incredible amount of strain on the engines. Ships are not designed to exceed their top speed by even one knot. They can’t do it. It can’t be done.

Carpathia’s absolute do-or-die, the-engines-can’t-take-this-forever top speed was fourteen knots. Dodging icebergs, in the dark and the cold, surrounded by mist, she sustained a speed of almost seventeen and a half.

No one would have asked this of them. It wasn’t expected. They were almost sixty miles away, with icebergs in their path. They had a respondibility to respond; they did not have a responsibility to do the impossible and do it well. No one would have faulted them for taking more time to confirm the severity of the issue. No one would have blamed them for a slow and cautious approach. No one but themselves.

They damn near broke the laws of physics, galloping north headlong into the dark in the desperate hope that if they could shave an hour, half an hour, five minutes off their arrival time, maybe for one more person those five minutes would make the difference. I say: three people had died by the time they were lifted from the lifeboats. For all we know, in another hour it might have been more. I say they made all the difference in the world.

This ship and her crew received a message from a location they could not hope to reach in under four hours. Just barely over three hours later, they arrived at Titanic’s last known coordinates. Half an hour after that, at 4am, they would finally find the first of the lifeboats. it would take until 8:30 in the morning for the last survivor to be brought onboard. Passengers from Carpathia universally gave up their berths, staterooms, and clothing to the survivors, assisting the crew at every turn and sitting with the sobbing rescuees to offer whatever comfort they could.

In total, 705 people of Titanic’s original 2208 were brought onto Carpathia alive. No other ship would find survivors.

At 12:20am April 15th, 1912, there was a miracle on the North Atlantic. And it happened because a group of humans, some of them strangers, many of them only passengers on a small and unimpressive steam liner, looked at each other and decided: I cannot live with myself if I do anything less.

I think the least we can do is remember them for it.

Day 8 of Whumptober: head trauma

After a call gone bad, Buck wakes up as 23-year-old Evan, confused why there is a police sergeant and a hot firefighter standing next to his hospital bed. Finding out that he has lost years of his life is a struggle. Especially as memories slowly come back in the form of dreams- some more like nightmares. All he wants is to remember his new family.

--

“You and Eddie were in a grocery store, it was on fire. You went back in because you heard a baby, but the roof collapsed before you could get out.” Athena tells him, sitting down on a chair. “You’ve been in the hospital for 8 days.”

“Who is Eddie? Why was I in a fire?” He asks her, confused.

The firefighter sucks in a breath, “That would be me. And, uh, you’re a firefighter, Buck. An amazing one, actually.”

Evan stares at him, “Why are you calling me Buck?”

I loved writing this SO much. It was one of the first longer fics I wrote, I think. I was giggling and kicking my feet at the delicious angst opportunities but also at the fluff. I still think about this fic often. I even reread it sometimes to feel that excitement I had back then.

So, I hope someone sees this and thinks 'oh, I'd like to read it'. Hopefully you'll love it as much as I do
