"If I'd been born in the 1870s the Belgian Antarctic Expedition would never have happened because Adrien de Gerlache would have been too pregnant with my children to sail anywhere."

[bouncykhotchillipeppers]

the thing about polar exploration is that 99% of all content is regarding franklin or terra nova or endurance… everyone else get fucked i guess

[jeyneofpoole]

antarctic exploration is so funny because you read about the endurance expedition and it’s a zany adventure with a lovable stowaway and trials and tribulations that show the indomitable nature of the human spirit without a single man lost and it ends in a thematically resonant and meaningful way with a fitting and beautiful conclusion and then you get to the belgica and the crew are running away constantly, they frame the cook for his own beatdown and get him fired, the beloved moral-boosting chipper ships boy literally falls off of the boat and drowns before they even GET to antarctica, the commandant and the captain are deliberately freezing the ship in ice to protect their beautiful belgian honor, they’re constantly falling into crevasses, and the ships pet penguin dies in what i cannot stress enough is the most narratively ominous and portentous circumstance on the morning of their imprisonment in the ice. the doctor was literally imprisoned for fraud.

fun fact: hergé actually designed the logo of the second belgian antarctic expedition, led by adrien de gerlache's son gaston. the more you know

Edith Finch Timeline

So I'm still organizing my theories (honestly they're more like a list of unanswered questions than a coherent theory right now) but I think my timeline is pretty much complete now that I've had a chance to go back through the pet cemetery and add all those in.

I do some wild speculating about Odin here that has no canon basis, just spinning ideas.

Things to notice- Just how many deaths happen on or very near birthdays. Not always the birthday of the person who dies and not every time, but suspiciously often.

The pets almost seem to fill in the years when no one human died? Like everything in this game it's nothing definitive enough to base a solid theory on, but it is odd.

TIMELINE

1439 - Earliest possible beginning of the Finch Family Curse based on the Odin viewmaster reel, as this is 500 years prior to the invention of the first viewmaster.

1445 - If the Odin viewmaster is the Model E made in 1955 (which I think it is), this is the start of the curse instead. Not much is happening in Norway during this period, but Vlad the Impaler was at the top of his game this year?

~About 7 generations of Finches dying horribly happens here.~

1880 - Odin is born. At some point between now and his death he writes "The Mysteries of Death and the Thereafter" and "Joining the Great Majority" which both appear to be books about the afterlife.

1896 - Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration begins with the Belgian Antarctic Expedition and won't end till after WWI. Expeditions are marked by depression, starvation, insanity and scurvy. Many famous expeditions are made by Norwegian teams. Odin is 16.

1911 - A Norwegian expedition is first to reach the South Pole. The British Scott expedition chasing the same goal are lost. Odin is 31.

28 July 1914 - WWI begins, Odin is 34. Norway, "The Neutral Ally", remains neutral on the war but due to economic pressure from Britain commits its merchant marine fleet (one of the largest in the world) to Britain's service. Half the fleet is sunk and 2000 seamen are killed. If Odin was a sailor, he likely served. Alternatively, he may have been one of the wealthy merchants who profited greatly during the war. He clearly has a great deal of money to burn by 1937.

June 17 1915 - Sven is born.

April 8, 1917 - Edie is born.

1935 - At some point between now and Dec 1937, Edie and Sven marry and Sven takes Edith's last name.

1936 - Ingeborg and her newborn Johann Finch die in an unknown manner. Odin is 56, Edie is 19, Sven is 17.

Jan 7 1937 - Odin sets sail for Washington.

Dec 1937 - Arrival on Orcas Island, death of Odin at 57. Molly is born, on the boat? In the Old House? Sven and Edie build the cemetery, and then the house.

1938 - Churpy the budgie joins the family.

1939 - Invention of the viewmaster, earliest point the Odin story could have been recorded.

Sep 1939 - Sep 1945 - WWII. Sven was 24, and may have served or been drafted.

1940 - Burpy the house finch joins the family.

1941 - Churpy dies.

1947 - Christopher the goldfish joins the family.

Oct 31 1947 - Halloween Baby Barbara

Sometime between 1937 and 1947 - Molly's unnamed gerbil joins the family.

Dec 13 1947 - Molly dies of apparent poisoning after eating mistletoe berries, on or very near her 10th bday. She relates hallucinating having become several animals, most notably a cat. Christopher the fish dies shortly after. The fate of her unnamed gerbil is unrecorded, as none of the unattributed headstones are of the right age, but presumably it dies eventually.

1948 - Burpy dies at 8.

April 25 1950 - Sam and Calvin are born.

Aug 26 1952 - Walter is born.

1952 - Lurpy the Cockatiel joins the family.

1955 - Viewmaster Model E released- If this is the one used for Odin's story, that puts the beginning of the curse at 1455.

1956 - Lucy the dog joins the family.

1959 - Bailey the (???) joins the family.

Oct 31 1960 - Barbara dies, allegedly murdered, on her 16th bday. Her boyfriend Rick disappears the same night. The version of her death shared in the game is notably extremely unreliable and raises numerous questions. Rick is seen in a leg cast using crutches. Walter is 8, Sam and Calvin are 10 and notably absent from reported events.

Sept 23 1961 - Calvin dies at 11 falling from a cliff. He is seen wearing a weathered and heavily autographed leg cast. His model shows him with a black eye and several cuts.

1962 - Zoe the (???) joins the family.

1963 - Lurpy dies at 11. (Cockatiels have a life expectancy of 20-25 years)

Aug 26 1964 - Sven dies on Walter's 12th bday, while making a dragon shaped slide. He's 49.

1968 - Walter enters the bunker. He's 16. Durpy the Dove joins the family.

May 7 1968 - Dawn is born.

1969 - Lucy the dog dies.

June 20 1969 - Gus is born.

1970 - Zoe dies

1971 - Purply the Budgie joins the family.

1974 - Coco the (???) joins the family.

Jan 12 1976 - Gregory is born

Dec 7 1977 - Kay files for divorce after arguing with Sam about the curse.

Dec 19 1977 - Gregory drowns in the bath a month before his 2nd bday

1984 - Bob dies at 4.

1985 - Daisy the (???) joins the family.

1986-87 Dawn goes to India, meets Sanjay.

1988 - Shadow the cat dies.

Dec 27 1988 - Lewis is born. Furpy joins the family. Tucker the (???) joins the family

1989 - Oliver the rabbit dies.

1991 - Rob dies at 10. Furpy dies.

1992 - Zurpy the Owl joins the family.

May 19 1992 - Milton is born.

1993 - Charlie the cat joins the family. Daisy dies.

1994 - Durpy Jr the Dove joins the family.

1995 - Zurpy dies at 3. Schatzi the (???) joins the family.

Feb 14 1999 - Valentine's Baby Edith. Lowest tide in a thousand years allegedly allows Edie to access the Old House. At some point between now and Nov 2010, three unnamed gerbils join the family, and then die.

Feb 22 2002 - Sanjay dies in an earthquake, eight days after Edith's 3rd bday, Dawn and children return to Finch House. Dawn writes "To Teach and To Learn" at some point in the next few years. At some point between now and 2010, Dawn probably finds a stray cat and names it Molly.

Oct 23 2003 - Milton disappears.

Late 2003 to Early 2004 - Dawn searches for Milton, eventually gives up and seals the rooms for unknown reasons.

March 31 2005 - Walter leaves the bunker and dies, allegedly hit by a train. There are several strange inconsistencies surrounding the circumstances of his death.

2006 - Durpy Jr dies at 12.

2009 - Schatzi dies

Nov 21 2010 - Lewis dies of apparent suicide one month before his 22nd bday.

Nov 28 2010 - A week after Lewis's death, Dawn informs Edie they are leaving the house. After Edie attempts to give Edith a book containing a story about their family which Dawn violently rips away, Dawn flees the house with Edith immediately, leaving Edie and all her belongings behind.

(Molly the cat is not mentioned in regards to the move, so she may have died by this point, but she is not listed in the graveyard, so it's possible she was simply left behind. There is a taxidermy calico in Sam's room, but Sam was dead before Molly could reasonably have joined the family, so this is unlikely to be her. A cat is seen outside human Molly's room in 2016, which may prove she's still alive- but she'd be around 14 years old. An unlikely age for a cat abandoned outdoors for 7 years.)

Nov 29 2010 - Edie is found dead by nursing care workers, and may have killed herself by combining alcohol with her medication, intentionally or otherwise. She's 93, the only member of her family to live longer than her father, who died at 57.

Dec 5 2010 - The date on Edie's tombstone, a week after when she supposedly died.

May (around the 12-18th?) 2016 - Edith becomes pregnant.

Oct 12 2016 - Dawn dies of a chronic illness at 48. Edith is 16 and about 6 months pregnant.

Oct 13 - 19 2016 - Edith returns to the Finch House at 22 weeks pregnant.

Jan 18 2017 - Edith dies in childbirth a month before her 18th bday. Christopher is born (possibly named for Molly's goldfish?).

2027? - At some point in the future, a young Christopher returns to the house, which has changed since the last time it was seen. He is wearing a cast.

A note on unrecorded pets- There are additionally 5 (possibly 6?) unmarked pet graves in the cemetery. One of the blank stones presumably belongs to Rob the bearded dragon, who has a memorial in Edie's room but no gravestone. One is marked as a fish and another is a rabbit, with no names or dates. One is a knocked over and unreadable sign of the same kind used for the birds, indicating it may be an otherwise unrecorded bird. There is also a statue of a frog- the knocked over sign may instead refer to an unrecorded pet frog, or the frog statue might be a separate gravestone, or simply a decoration. This leaves one blank headstone with no indication of what might lie beneath it. Let's assume it's a mass grave for gerbils.

VISITING THE GRAVES OF «BELGICA» EXPEDITION MEMBERS

— Arctowski & Dobrowolski

I met up with my bestie last weekend. Our plan for Saturday was to wander aimlessly around the city without looking where we were going. I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to visit Powązki.

Old Powązki is a historical cemetery, the most important in Poland. It is the place where the most important Poles are buried: heroes, leaders, scientists, musicians and politicians...

Our two great polar explorers — Henryk Arctowski and Antoni B. Dobrowolski — are also buried there, in the military section. I would not forgive myself if I did not visit them, especially as I have never done so before. Their graves are very close to me, but my path has never crossed theirs. Besides, Powązki is a big place.

I bought each of them a blue candle as I couldn't afford more decorative ones (well, I buy too many books). We searched the graves for half an hour. But we found them!

First we went to Dobrowolski. I hadn't expected his grave to be so dirty and dusty. It was full of needles from a Christmas bouquet brought by schoolchildren. Polar explorers are not very important in Poland... most people associate the name 'Arctowski' only because it sounds similar to 'arctic'. This is a shame, because he was a great patriot and really did a lot for our country before we regained our independence.

I blew off the needles and wiped the dust off the gravestone with my hand. My lungs began to warn me that I was going to start coughing, so I gave up after a while. I took some dry leaves and lit the candle.

For Dobrowolski I feel admiration rather than warm sympathy. He came from a family overwhelmed by poverty, which in our country used to be a fate worse than death. As a twelve-year-old, Antoni worked for a living, teaching others for a pittance. After leaving school, the Tsarist authorities sentenced him to three years' imprisonment (which was ACTUALLY EVEN WORSE than poverty). He was sent to the Warsaw Citadel, notorious as a place of execution for patriotic activists. He was deported several times, but finally managed to escape from the Caucasus to Switzerland and finally to Belgium, from where he finally set off for Antarctica on board the "Belgica".

I think I'll have to reappear soon and clean his grave, because it's sad to see it in these conditions. The writing is hardly clear, so let me translate it for you:

•••

“ANTONI BOLESŁAW DOBROWOLSKI

1872-1954

PARTICIPANT IN THE BELGIAN ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION 1897-1899. CREATOR AND RELENTLESS FIGHTER FOR THE DISSEMINATION OF SCIENCE AND ART.

---

ZOFIA DOBROWOLSKA (ULIŃSKA)

1873-1955”

•••

A silhouette of a glacier is engraved above his name. It's absolutely cute. 🥹

°•°•°•°•°•°

And Arctowski!

Unfortunately he's not buried next to Dobrowolski, but you could say they're in the same neighbourhood, separated by a few graves. As I suspected, this place was in much better condition! You could tell someone had looked after it because the flowers were not so faded and the paraffin in the candles was quite new. Henryk, like his dear fellow, was given a new blue candle and some critical comments about the stains on the gravestone. I plan to clean that up too, but it's not so tragic.

Of course, I'll drop a translation:

•••

“1871-1958

HENRYK ARCTOWSKI

GEOPHYSICIAN

ANTARCTIC EXPLORER

---

1875-1958

JANE ADDY ARCTOWSKA

HENRYK'S WIFE

DEVOTED TO POLISH YOUTH”

•••

I love the drawing of "Belgica" trapped in an ice pack! It's gorgeous and the tomb itself looks really beautiful 💙

°•°•°•°•°•°

I guess it's everything? I'll update this next time I'm there and manage to look after the temporary accommodation of our dear polar explorers. Hope you like it, take care! ❤️

"i would detransition for emil racovitza"

[areyougonnabe]

ANYTHING 4 U @simplyirenic

drumroll please.............. introducing:

EMIL G. RACOVIȚĂ

(or racovitza)

you may already know this romanian scientist as the subject of this popular and famous photo, the first-ever photograph taken underwater, with an exposure time of 30 minutes:

it was taken in 1899 at the oceanographic laboratory in banyuls-sur-mer, france, where racovitza was working at the time in his capacity as a pioneering marine biologist.

however, a mere year prior, racovitza had been suffering through a harsh antarctic winter as a member of the scientific staff on board the belgica, the ice-locked ship of the belgian antarctic expedition.

(for more on this expedition i am beseeching you to read MADHOUSE AT THE END OF THE EARTH which you can find at your library probably or on various illicit webbed sites as well as bookstores!!!)

but the basic summary is, raco (as he was known) was one of the first men hired onto the expedition by leader adrien de gerlache, who was essentially a trust fund kid with a lifelong obsession with ships, sailing, and exploration. which was kind of unfortunate for someone from belgium, a country with little coastline to speak of and a navy that was mainly for show. this was the late 19th century and most belgians were hella amped re doing atrocities in the congo but no, not good old adrien. instead his heart was fixed on making belgium a name to be reckoned with in the world of polar exploration. cue laugh track

anyway raco came along for the ride, he was also from a rich family so it helped that he offered to serve without pay. also look at him. you would want him on your ship. you would want him, like, in general. i certainly do. he's like if the man on the pringles can exuded unbearable erotic energy.

raco's official duties on the expedition included collecting and analyzing zoological and botanic samples from the sea, ice, and land; conducting meteorological readings; documenting the wildlife and landscape; and all sorts of other vital scientific tasks. and being cute.

however his most important job on the expedition by far was probably that of resident cartoonist:

Another beloved monotony-breaking ritual was the presentation of Racovitza’s daily cartoon. In addition to his skill at anatomical drawing, the zoologist was a scathing caricaturist with an eastern European fondness for the absurd and a scatological streak. Though bawdy and puerile, Racovitza’s pencil sketches were an unfiltered take on life aboard the Belgica, a chronicle of the men’s frustrations and inside jokes.

listen. when julian said these cartoons were bawdy i was like yeah sure okay. but my god, the man did not hold back. he was KINKY. he was obsessed with butts in particular, drawing the ass of his scientific colleague henryk arctowski over and over, including comparisons to the flat backside of lieutenant danco:

there were also cartoons dealing with shitting blood, watching women piss, and naked boxing. you can literally look at them all yourself although i will say they're about 1000x funnier if you know the people involved so it's a nice treat after you finish reading madhouse. but here's another favorite demonstrating the harsh realities of an icebound ship ("promenade in the caca avenue"):

anyway while the life-threatening chaos of this frathouse-esque expedition was going on around him, and cook and amundsen were off somewhere staring into each other's eyes like in the "is this allowed!?!" vine, raco continued doing important scientific work, pranking the hell out of his shipmates, and also being adorable.

eventually the expedition freed themselves from the ice and returned home. raco resumed his research career, working with the other members of the expedition to compile and publish the results of their findings, and eventually rising in the ranks of the scientific establishment of europe.

basically what i love about raco and what brings me joy every day to contemplate is that he was clearly an enormous goof with a wide variety of deranged fetishes, but also a brilliant and hard-working scientist who founded an entirely new scientific field (biospeleogy, the study of cave organisms) and grew up to be a hot dad, the most badass looking grandpa, and ended his life as one of the most respected and renowned scientists in all of romanian history. he's on stamps!!!!!!!!!!!! sometimes i reflect on how he seems to be a man before his time, but also i guess i am grateful he was born in the 1800s and not the 80s because i think if he had access to the internet he definitely would've been a chronic shitposter and not got nearly as much important science done.

The top 3 books I read in October

1. - Madhouse At The End Of The Earth - Julian Sancton ~ a non fiction book about the ill fated Belgian Antarctic expedition of 1897 - 1899 and the crews subsequent years after

2. - Morbidly Yours - Ivy Fairbanks ~ a recently widowed American woman moves to Ireland and finds out she’s moved in next door to a mortuary. romance and hijinks ensue

3. - My Roommate Is A Vampire - Jenna Levine ~ Cassie moves in with Frederick, a strange man who sleeps all day, is gone all night and talks like he’s straight out of a regency era romance novel, then she finds a bag of blood in his fridge

[agentbreedlove]

3, 4, 17 for the book ask!

3. What were your top five books of the year?

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno García. A gothic horror set in México in the 50s, it follows a young woman going to the aid of her cousin. Said cousin has just married into a mysterious English family who owns a silver mine in a remote mexican town. I've always seen a lot of hype around this book so I was a bit wary (also, I think the title is a bit goofy), but it ended up being incredible. Moreno García's prose is out of this world and the story was scary and twisty.

Distancia de Rescate (Fever Dream) by Samantha Schweblin. Short novela that blew my mind. Very hard to sumarize without spoiling anything, I think the title translation does honor to how it feels to read it. Set in Argentina, it deals with themes like motherhood, environmental issues and fear.

Madhouse at the End of the Earth: The Belgica's Journey Into the Dark Antarctic Night by Julian Sancton. A recounting of a real Belgian antarctic expedition in the 1800s, where their ship got stuck in the ice for nearly two years. A well reserached survival story. Interesting and well written, never dull. I read this on a ship and I recommend the experience

Las Cosas que Perdimos en el Fuego (Things We Lost in the Fire) by Mariana Enríquez. A short story collection from one of Argentina's top horror writter. A good introduction to her work, it quickly shows why she's a master of the craft. Deals with issues like misogyny, poverty, argentinian politics, etc.

House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland. Three sisters went missing as children and returned changed, odd, different. Now as adults the older sister goes missing again, prompting the other two to search for her and finally unravel what actually happened to them. This is labelled as young adult but it doesn't feel like it. It was dark, slightly gory, intriguing. Stunning prose, I liked it so much I read it twice.

4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?

Krystal Sutherland, I'm eagerly waiting for her next book. Marian Enríquez, I already checked out herr other short story collection from the library.

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?

I randomly got approved for an advanced reader's copy of a book about an automaton. It's called Miracles and Machines: A Sixteenth-Century Automaton and Its Legend. It's an illustrated volume about a monk automaton in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History. The book details how it was made, how it works, and everything people have done to track down its origins. I was surprised by how interesting it was and how much I learned.

Thank you so much for asking!

[grimm-the-tiger]

I was reading about the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, which came within inches of suffering the same fate as the Lost Franklin Expedition, and for some reason, one detail in particular struck me as bizarrely funny. 

The thing that dooms most Arctic expeditions is shoddy planning and supplies. One would think that they’d have learned this by *checks notes* 1897, but nope. In particular, a malady called scurvy killed most people on these expeditions; scurvy had generally become less of a problem by this point in history when people realized that it could be treated with lemon juice, but the Belgian Antarctic Expedition had two things going against them. The first was that no one really planned for this to happen, and the second was that the expedition was a disaster anyway. 

So the crew of the expedition got scurvy. In particular, two of its leaders got scurvy, leaving two guys who would later become more famous, Frederick Cook and Roald Amundsen, in charge. Now, Cook had some prior experience in the Arctic and, while it would take another 20 years for people to realize what caused scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) and how to treat it, Cook (correctly) realized that eating raw meat, which contained trace amounts of vitamin C, could at least help. Besides, they’d reached a point in the expedition where a dude had jumped overboard and declared he was going to walk across the pack ice back to Belgium and was never seen again, so what did they have to lose? 

This isn’t funny. What is funny is that everyone else thought Cook was a lunatic, and the mental image of this guy chasing people around deck holding raw, frozen penguin and demanding they eat the penguin to treat their scurvy while they understandably question his sanity and their life choices is too good to ignore. 

So that’s the story of why this one random detail from an already disastrous Arctic expedition has been making me randomly crack up for the past few weeks. Tune in next time for, I dunno, me making fun of the British Navy’s naming choices or something.
