Content Warning: mature, graphic

I was doing a deep dive on The Chamberlain Bros™️ and I found something interesting, yet very sad. This is post is not to belittle Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain by any means, but I don’t think many people know about this and I think it’s important when people discuss his life after war (more specifically; how his marriage took went downhill and why he was gloomy) they consider what I’m about to tell y’all.

Most people know (if you’re a Lawrence fan and drool over his Wikipedia page like me) of the wound he received during the siege of Petersburg. In general; he was shot in his groin, the bullet nicked his bladder and urethra. It sounds devastating even by today’s standards, and without modern medicine it was a living hell. Once he was brought to the field hospital the surgeons were at a loss.

Torso wounds were terrible, mostly because the surgeons didn’t have the time to dig the bullet(s) out. They were working on amputations or anything that could be done quickly and required less tediousness. So when Lawrence was brought in, they pretty much considered it fatal. And when Thomas caught word he got a regimental doctor, Abner Shaw, to treat him. Shaw and one other surgeon (I forgot his name), worked on Lawrence all night. And as far as anesthesia goes, he would’ve felt the majority, if not all of the pain.

Now, here’s where it gets 18+. There’s some discourse on where exactly Lawrence was injured. From what I could tell most of the discourse comes from a letter written by Ellis Spear.

Now, it’s important to note that Ellis and Lawrence didn’t get along after the war. From what I can gather, most of the beef was over a memoir-type book they were writing about the 20th Maine. And if you look at previous Spear’s previous accounts on the incident, it doesn’t mention anything about his penis

But it’s still up in the air (there’s a joke there somewhere) whether or not he was shot through the hip or his penis. He also fathered a child after the war, which must’ve been pretty hard (shut up) since the injury, no matter where he was shot, would make it nearly impossible to get an erection. Not to mention the PTSD he suffered.

That was probably the biggest reason why Fanny and his marriage took a turn. His death was most likely a result of the old wound. He had to have surgery a number of times after the war and he got lots of infections. It’s really sad and not many people know of the severity of his injury.

As I said before, I am not in any way trying to dunk on Lawrence. I would marry him. I think he was a very good person and soldier. I just wanted to share this lil tid bit of info.

I just realised Britney's album In The Zone didn't release until November 2003, and the apocalypse starts in September of 2003 in The Last Of Us show. The world never got to hear Toxic by Britney Spears. Devastating.

Not to be dramatic but Higher Than Heaven (Deluxe) by Ellie Goulding is the genuinely the best pop album I’ve heard since Blackout.

I Need More Perversion

I didn’t read as many books as I wanted to this year. I always have this illusion that I will be that pretentious motherfucker who just reads and reads and reads and will be really fucking insufferable about it. But no. For the most part it was me trying to hide myself from the world while watching stupid Youtube videos. As always. Yup.  But I did manage to complete two books I had always wanted…

Elly - In The Zone (Album Cover)

[acadjonne]

i have figured out how to make little potions and elixirs for link hehehe 😈

explored some more, got some cool weapons, found three more shrines. maybe four but i couldn’t get to the location of the fourth. i also found two towers but i could only get to one of them since the other was in a location with nonstop rain and thunder so i couldn’t climb or swim to it

i found some rock salt too so now my cooking can be a little more adventurous! and i adventured around with my horse breeze more which was fun.

i now have 11 korok seeds! i got like three of them by pushing boulders into indentations in the ground lol

i’m having a blast in this game tbh
