Happy International Kissing Day!

[saints-who-never-existed]

Episode Four: Random Rewatch Observations

1. Shout out to Sophia and Lady Jane, sticking it to Barrow re: Arctic geography, how far the Admiralty’s messages have reached, and his general condescension.

2. Their breath is visible in the air as they’re leaving the Admiralty building and talking specifically about Sir John. 

3. Jopson is hilarious even before his little innocent “Me, sir?” line when he first enters the scene saying “Sorry to interrupt!��. Like, yes, sorry to interrupt your busy schedule of sitting in the dark doing literally nothing, sir! Great stuff.

4. Also shout out to Little being very competent off-screen, already making plans to move Terrors over to Erebus before Crozier’s even thought about it.

5. Love Crozier just pissing directly in front of Jopson too – another obvious thing but it just makes me laugh.

6. I think I spy Little doing his patented Awkward Shoulder Pat of Comfort to someone as they all troop back onto the ship. He’s not in his slops a few moments later so it seems likely that it’s him and that he stayed behind to hold down the fort while they were out searching.

7. Another thing that’s been pointed out by others, but I love MacDonald’s annoyed table tapping – he’s so not in the mood.

8.  “Look out for yourself.” “Oh, I will…”

Like, oh I bet you will, Hickey, sweetheart…

9. Just a thought but Hickey’s “Who’s that?!” when he finds Strong/Evans on watch strikes me as unique. I don’t know if they had specific phrases or codes to challenge and identify each other when on watch but all I’m saying is that it would make sense if they did and it would make sense for that to be another thing Hickey doesn’t know.

10. Extra-gruesome to note that the legs and the torso appear to be facing opposite directions.

11. How do we all feel about Hickey’s whole spiel in front of the Captains, and the fact that Manson and Hartnell stay completely silent throughout it? Do we think he’s outright lying or what? The idea of them interrupting Silna in her attempt to take control of Tuunbaq isn’t completely outlandish in and of itself, after all – she tries to do just that two episodes later - and surely if he’s just making it up completely then the other two would challenge that to try and save their own skins?

12. Also have to laugh at Goodsir’s helpful “Food…!” when he takes Silna some ‘dinner’. Like, I think she realises it’s food, Harry, she just thinks it’s bloody horrible (which it is!).

13. I am absolutely obsessed with how puffy they both look here. Look at their little sticky-out tum-tums! Silly little Weeble men.

thank you to @incandescent-creativity for the trend, this was honestly so fun even tho i ended up spending my whole day on it instead of actually writing skskks

i used this picrew to make all of the character pictures! except for the ones on the last page, which i made myself (i just wanted to keep things consistent in the actual character slides).

honestly i think this will be replacing any serious character info post lmao, so if you have questions about any of them, feel free to ask here! i would of course love to talk about them ^.^

(for the record! vice, taylor, izzy, cliff, push, ekaf, and alex are all made by various other players from my dnd group! unfortunately none of them have tumblrs, but still. i am the only one writing this novel but i am stealing their characters (with permission) so there's that!)

How would you suggest people get started learning about polar expeditions? I read Frozen in Time but I'm at a loss of where to go now 😭 any suggestions?

Hi!!! It depends on which era you're interested in!!

For Victorian exploration including the FE, I always recommend Erebus by Michael Palin, William Battersby's Fitzjames biography, and Barrow's Boys by Fergus Fleming. Now, all of those books have their flaws as many nerds (like me) will tell you, but they are all great starting points and will introduce you to the cast of characters/run of events of that era. Once you've advanced a bit, you could check out Dave Woodman's Unraveling the Franklin Mystery for an intensely detailed look at Inuit testimony; The Spectral Arctic by Shane McCorristine for an academic exploration of ghosts and clairvoyance in Victorian exploration; or Finding Franklin by Russell Potter for an overview of the search expeditions up to the present day. Michael Smith's Crozier biography is also a solid read. (EDIT: I forgot The Man Who Ate His Boots by Anthony Brandt if you want to know more about Franklin himself and his earlier expeditions!)

If you're more interested in the late Victorian/Edwardian era, commonly referred to under the "Heroic Age" umbrella, you have a lot of potential starting points....

That era could be said to have begun in 1897 with the Belgica expedition, one of the most chaotic and insane expeditions of all time. Madhouse at the End of the Earth by Julian Sancton is a RIDE of a book (more like FRATHOUSE at the end of the earth, amirite) and will get you started with two of my favorite figures of the age: it was the polar origin story of Roald Amundsen, and where he met a pre-pole controversy Frederick Cook (HIS SOULMATE).

For more Amundsen after the Belgica, I really liked The Last Viking by Stephen Brown. You could also check out Roland Huntford's biography buuut this blog is a No Roland Zone so I am hesitant to recommend him, even though re: Amundsen he's more legit than elsewhere.

The Worst Journey In The World is a classic for a reason: a really beautiful and detailed first-person account of Scott's last expedition that is a pillar of travel writing and the foundation for much of the historiography that came after. However, you could also start with A First Rate Tragedy by Diana Preston (which I haven't read yet but comes highly recommended) or even Cherry's biography by Sara Wheeler which is really excellent. OH and the graphic novel version of Worst Journey just released its first volume which is a WONDERFUL introduction to the story! Buy it here and support the artist!

I've also really enjoyed all of the other first-person accounts I've read, many of which are free & in the public domain: With Scott: The Silver Lining by T. Griffith Taylor and The Great White South by Herbert Ponting are super interesting and give you a taste of what it was like to really be there.

For Shackleton, definitely start with Endurance by Alfred Lansing and go from there. Shackleton's Forgotten Expedition is a good second step & will get you background on him and Scott (& Wilson). I have had Shackleton: A Life In Poetry by Jim Mayer recommended to me as well but haven't read it yet. After that, Frank Worsley (captain of the Endurance) wrote two books which are great supplements: Shackleton's Boat Journey and another one just called Endurance. And Caroline Alexander's The Endurance is really good too but it's a coffee table book with nice pictures, so grab a hard copy!

And last but CERTAINLY not least, I May Be Some Time by Francis Spufford is the be-all and end-all of polar exploration nonfiction, IMO. I'm just finishing a reread right now actually—I first read it post-Franklin obsession but pre-Scott obsession and honestly, it's an entirely different book once you're crazy about the Heroic Age, so while I have recommended it in the past for people just getting started, and still do, at this point I also kind of want to tell people to maybe wait until you've already reached a certain level of derangement to dive into it.

During this decade, there were 29 births, of which 17 are still alive.

Our average age at death is 10, but if we omit spouses from the statistics, it drops to 5.1.

We had a total of 12 deaths:

Margaery Barrow (1320-1320)

Eva Pasquier (1322-1323)

Felix Barrow (1325-1325)

The sim who has died and been resurrected the most often is still Brayden Barrow with three deaths (cardiac explosion, murdered, cardiac explosion)

The average number of pregnancies per woman is 4, down from the average of 9 of the previous decade, which is explained by having more women included in the statistics now that Gen 2 has made it to adulthood.

The deadliest year so far was 1316 with 5 deaths. The years with the most births are 1327 and 1329, which are tied with 5 births each.

See you in 1330!

I am too angry to sleep so I may as well post about this.

Alexander Darwall is a hedge fund manager who owns 4000 acres of Dartmoor. He has contested the right of the public to camp on his land. And he has won.

This has been portrayed in the media as a loss of the 'right to roam'. This is a stupid way to phrase it. We never had the right to roam. We have never had the right to wander and live on the land. The Romani people and travelling communities whose way of life is criminalised know this - but of course there isn't so much of a mention of the 'right to roam' until white middle class people think their children's dofe expedition might be threatened.

Anyway, I digress. Despite my badly-worded cynicism, this is a loss, and I am furious.

I am local. I have always lived in Devon, between the two moors. My dad knows the westcountry like the back of his hand. He and I could cross the county with our eyes closed. The tors and rivers and moorland raised me as much as he or my mum did.

And still, neither of us would claim Dartmoor as our own. Because it is not our land to claim.

But, as is the insurmountable self-centredness and inconceivably egotistical nature of the rich, Alexander Darwall visits the westcountry a couple times (as all rich people do, to recline in their seaside holiday cottage for the two weeks of the year that the ghost town they've driven all local people out of is actually populated, by other posh pricks, only to fuck off again and leave behind poverty and a decimated housing market), and decides that the local people can't be trusted with such beautiful land, and thinks he deserves to own it. And manage it.

Because of course the local peasants couldn't know anything about conservation. We don't have a connection to this land, oh no, nothing as strong as the connection between a rich man and the estate he can shoot pheasants on.

It makes my blood boil. The evil of it, the condescension. People like Alexander Darwell know nothing about the moor. It's not just about walking on it a few times: when you're local, you know it. You've seen it in all of its forms, all months and all seasons, you've seen it at its most beautiful and most ugly, you've endured its cold to stare at the stars, you know its history and you've followed its standing stones, walked silently and respectfully past its tombs and barrows, you've replanted trees and held the earth in your hands, you've counted the deer bolving, you've built the structures that will rewet the moorland and return its life, you've sampled the soil from the bottom of trenches and carefully replaced every layer to disturb it as little as possible, and you've sweated and ached to see all of these things and give all of this to the moor.

And still, the land is not yours to own! You can do all of this - I have done all of this - and still the land is not yours, and it is not mine.

And you can do none of this, and you should still have a right to access it. That is the point of our conservation efforts.

Conservation is the old men and women who I've planted trees with, the archaeologists I've uncovered my county's history with, my dad and his colleagues working on projects to protect the moor and the climate that is harmed by the loss of carbon-rich peat.

Conservation is not a hedge fund manager privatising the land for profit. It is not the mindless, evil promise of capital, that compels Alexander Darwall to build fences around Dartmoor and lock up his land. His land. I feel sick typing it.

Because ultimately, this was done for profit. There is contempt in it - Darwall has no respect for local people who aren't far-right politicians he can buy - but the main motivation is money. The national park will now give him money, money which should be spent on conservation projects but is now going into an evil millionaire's pocket, and the rich cunts who can't wait to butcher the pheasants and deer that should be existing wild, in naturally-sized populations, will give him money to shoot and hunt on his land and leave the carcasses there to rot.

I am angry. I am so, so angry.

I have every intent to camp on Darwall's land. I will break his locks and tear down his fences, and every local who can should do the same.

Dartmoor is no one's. But if it must belong to someone, it should belong to us, and not to him.

Margaret( Russell ) McIver was born on May 9th 1879.

“Maggie” went on to found the famous Barras in Glasgow..

Maggie was born Margaret Russell in 1879, to Margaret Hutcheson, a french polisher and Alexander Russell, a policeman, in either Bridgeton or Ayrshire sources differ. Maggie Queen of the Barras, had her first taste of business when she looked after a family friend’s fruit barrow in Parkhead. She was just 12 years old at the time.

Maggie met her husband and future business partner James McIver at the local fruit market. The couple ran a small business in the Calton, hiring out horses and carts to local hawkers, mainly women, on a daily basis.

After the first world war, the McIvers started organising Saturday markets on land that would become the present-day Barras market. In 1926, Maggie decided the market should be covered, as she was concerned about the health of the hawkers in bad weather.

When husband James contracted malaria during the war and died, Maggie was left to raise nine children and think of new ways to raise income.

She came up with the idea of opening a ballroom above the market, partly to give the hawkers somewhere to hold their Christmas dance. The Barrowland is now a world-renowned, much-loved and respected music venue, famous for its sprung floor and impressive list of performers.

Maggie asked former Bluebirds bandleader Billy McGregor to form a resident band for the Barrowland and it became Billy McGregor and the Gaybirds, a hit with Glasgow’s dancers throughout the thirties. Foxtrots and waltzes were the order of the day until American servicemen introduced jiving and jitterbugging during the Second World War.

When Maggie died in 1958, astute, caring and creative businesswoman Maggie McIver was a multi-millionaire.

The ballroom was burned down in a massive fire shortly after Maggie’s death, but reopened in 1960, with the famous neon signage erected around 1982.

The world-renowned music venue is still owned by Margaret McIver Ltd and has played host to some of the biggest musicians from across the world from David Bowie to Oasis, I was last there in September 2021 to see the late great Terry Hall and his band The Specials.

eve best + she/they + cis woman  –  have you seen renata barrows around los angeles? the fifty five year old is usually jamming to counting stars by one republic. word around the city is that they’re resourceful, yet, they can also be blunt, but you didn’t hear that from me. they’re currently a publicist and are typically seen walking the streets of los angeles with her conway stewart churchill classic black gold fountain pen. when i think of them, i think of perfectly tailored three piece suits, record player softly playing in the background, lipstick stain on the collar of a shirt. let’s hope the city treats them good! (marlene fei wanted connection)

BASICS

Name: Renata Barrows

Nickname(s): Ree, Ren

Marital status: "Married to her job"

Age: Fifty five

Occupation: Publicist for the Stars

Sexual Orientation: Lesbian

RELATIONSHIPS

Father:  Alexander Barrows

Mother:   Emily Barrows

Children: One daughter (technically her half sister but was adopted by Ren when she was a few months old.)

Romantic Interests: marlene fei (lover she has feelings for)

APPEARANCE

Height: 5'11"

Hair Colour: Blonde

Eye Colour: Brown

Dot points because brain no work

Runs her own PR Firm called "GoldenPR" she employees around 5 people.

Adopted her daughter 24 years ago. Biologically they are half siblings but her daughter doesn't know.

Has a bachelor of business (Public Relations)

Her father is her idol, her hero and honestly can't do anything wrong in her mind

Is absolutely head over heels for Marlene Fei but is afraid of what damage admitting her feelings could do to their relationship with each other and in the public eye

Tries to keep her head down in public and loves a good gossip.

More info (being added to)

Renata was born to young parents, barely 20 years old. Her father, a bright and up and coming actor during golden age Hollywood and her mother, an heiress to fashion label in Italy living in london. They married not for love but for what they could offer the other. Her birth was a surprise but not entirely unwanted. A child was a perfect prop in her mother's eyes. A living doll her mother could dress up and however she was the apple of her father's eye.

She was raised almost completely by her father and her nanny, only ever seeing her mother when it was convenient to her.

She has a Bachelor of Business (Public Relations)

For nearly 30 years Renata enjoyed the life of an only child, until her father had an affair with a younger actress. He asked her to take care of it and she did. She kept her father's name out of the press and had paid off the mother of the child to keep it silent.

not more than 6 months later, her father visited her home with a bundle of blankets. The mother having left her child with their father. They brainstormed ways to avoid her father being bad mouthed in the press and Ren came to the decision to adopt the child and raise them.
