Rereading The Terror

Chapter Twenty-Six: Goodsir

And here we have it - the tally for it later. This is going to be an extra-long one I think, lads - I made a dozen annotations on the first page alone it's all so heart-breaking.

The chapter begins with one single gut-wrenching sentence: "I am the only one left." And we learn for certain that Peddie and Stanley both perished in the flames while MacDonald survived only to be gunned down accidentally by the Marines as he fled.

Surprisingly, the death toll is in single figures otherwise with only two other men on the list. Lieutenant Fairholme had his ribs crushed and his heart "pulverized" by Tuunbaq - interesting given that it was he who gunned down the polar bear mother and her cub. Retribution, perhaps? Meanwhile, Mr Hornby has an even sadder end than he does in the show - he was on watch most of the evening and arrived to the festivities not even an hour before he was brutally eviscerated.

There are eighteen other major injuries, including Blanky who has finally lost his already-damaged leg to the Tuunbaq but manages to remain upbeat about it like the absolute legend he is. Goodsir agrees: "Mr Blanky remains remarkably chipper for a man who has sustained so much damage in so short a time."

And so we move on to the punishment - Hickey, Manson, and Richard Aylmore (the man in the headless Sir John outfit and the brains behind the trippy Carnivale construction) are to be lashed 50 (50!!!) times each. Interestingly, Hickey and Manson are not being lashed for Insubordination etc. like Aylmore is but for making the bear costume as it is "a violation of all of Captain Crozier's previous orders about not wearing such Heathen Fetishes".

Aylmore and Manson are penitent with heads bowed. Aylmore faints after nine lashes and receives the full 50 (50!!!) while unconscious. Manson just weeps like a child. Hickey, however, holds his head high, takes all his lashes without a sound beyond a gasp just like in the show, and refuses support as he walks out of the room.

Another gut-wrenching detail that I feel the need to mention is the acknowledgement that they would normally throw a pail of water over an unconscious man so he would be awake enough to fully suffer his punishment. What's worse in this instance is the mention that it's so fucking cold they don't have any actual liquid water with which to do even that, hence why they just continue lashing Aylmore while he's passed the fuck out.

Another awful detail still is the fact that Crozier won't let Goodsir leave to attend to Aylmore once his punishment is over - he has to stay to watch Manson and Hickey too even if it means Aylmore bleeds to death in his absence.

Once Goodsir gets in there to treat the men, we see the mask very much start to come off for Hickey. He orders Manson abruptly to stop crying - no soothing, manipulative "loves" for him now apparently - then orders him to dress and leave the Sick Bay immediately. One can only imagine the pain they'd both be in and the force of will needed to dress and leave anyway...

Crozier gives a short speech after and there's a lot to consider. Like the fact that he takes responsibility as the Captain and assures the assembled men that he'll receive his own harsh punishment when he's eventually Court Martialled, while also openly expressing doubt that they'll survive long enough for that to actually happen.

Fitzjames says nothing, despite being the one to more actively oversee the Carnivale preparations. God love him, he's described as "impassive and pale. His gaze...unfocused. His thoughts...elsewhere."

Fitzjames is apparently so bereft and out of sorts that Crozier basically doesn't consider him within the chain of command as the chapter ends and Crozier endeavours to sober up: "The Captain turned over the handling of the ship's and expedition's affairs to Lieutenant Little yesterday - thus quietly but firmly giving command to Little rather than to Captain Fitzjames..." A win for cool, competent Ned! But at what cost?!

☕️ + what relationships do you think lasted post-show and where do you see those who are single ending up

ooh well if we’re being exact, i don’t think any of them broke up grad night or move out day 💀 but the only two i really see as endgame are peddie and jeroy. if anyone deserves a happy ending, it’s the four of them <3

i think fabian and mara have a fling for like a handful of weeks just to get it out of their systems and then they’re both like “i gotta focus on uni” and that’s that. alfie and willow just fizzle out naturally within a year but there’s like 0 animosity there (i mean have you met either of them??) and they stay besties forever. i like to think willow has that quintessential college romance and gets proposed to on grad day and alfie’s the one who sets them up in the first place and ends up being her best man. willow buys him a million gift certificates to build-a-bear (or whatever the uk equivalent is) when he gets into pediatric residency.

amber and nina get back in touch w each other the winter break after amber leaves and i like to think they do end up together, but it takes a while getting there—at least in KT’s point of view, considering she’s roomies with nina in college and grad school and has to witness the two of them skirting around each other for what feels like an eternity before they get their act together lol. romantically idk what goes on w KT or mick but i feel like if they met, KT would apologize to him on maras behalf dhdhfjhjk but mick (who heard what happened to jara from amber) would just laugh it off.

oh, and trudy and uncle ade get married and are honorary grandparents to all the sibuna kid’s children

send me a ☕️ and a topic and i’ll give you my opinion!

🎤 opportunity to talk more about your selkie AU if you want to? im curious about the dog selkies v the seal selkies, or are they variations on the same concept ? (ie. nedward is a husky in 1 version and a seal in another?)

Yay !!! I love talking about this AU, thank you so much for the ask !!!!!

So this is just one single AU and some characters are dogs, some are seals and some (actually just Silna and her dad) are bears :D

There are 3 types of selkies in the AU that all cohabit : dog-selkies, seal-selkies and bear-selkies. They all pretty much work the same (they have a pelt they can "put on" and turn into their animal form) but each with different animals.

The type of animal you are is genetic, meaning a family of seal-selkies can't have a bear-selkie baby.

Also I'm using your ask as an opportunity to share a list of "what kind of selkies each character is". If a character isn't included, it means I don't have any idea for them yet (and i'm open to suggestion)

Seal selkies : Goodsir, Irving, Jopson (half-selkie but can transform), Blanky, Peddie, JCR, Collins

Dog selkies : Gore, Little, Hartnell, Tozer, Peglar, Pilk, Manson, Young

Bear selkies : Silna, her dad

Humans : Crozier, Sir John, Fitzjames (half selkie but cannot transform), Dundy, Fairholme, Hodgson (but was raised by selkies), Stanley, Macdonald, Bridgen, Hickey, CDV

(most people in the Navy are humans but in Artic expeditions, it's useful to have dog-selkies and seal-selkies in the team to pull sleds/hunt)

The fire bat of the NC Dinos in professional baseball is heating up the autumn night.

NC beat KT Wiz 9-5 in the first round of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League postseason playoff (three wins out of five) at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 30th.

NC, which advanced to the postseason as fourth place in the regular season, previously beat SSG in third place in the semi-playoff and continued to make a splash in the playoffs, raising expectations for another "upset." The number of teams that have won the first playoff game in history has reached the Korean Series is 25 out of 32 times, accounting for a whopping 78%.

NC's strong line that caught fire is also "active" in the playoffs

NC started the fire with Son Ah-seop's right-center hit and Park Min-woo's left-center double in the first inning, and scored first with Jason Martin's sacrifice fly to left field.

In the second inning, leadoff hitter Oh Young-soo took the lead by hitting a 149km/h fastball from kt starter William Cuevas and hitting a solo shot over the left fence. Confused, KT collapsed on its own, throwing out defensive errors one after another.

Park Gun-woo and Kwon Hee-dong scored additional runs in the third inning with timely hits, and Cuevas was pulled off the mound by hitting a "big inning" that scored four runs in the fourth inning alone.

Son Ah-seop hit a timely hit in the second and third base chances with no outs, and accumulated points steadily with Park Min-woo's walk and Park Gun-woo's sacrifice fly. Soon after, Kwon Hee-dong hit a sweeping triple that brought two runners home to seal the game.

NC, who is well aware of the importance of winning the first game, put in a must-win group such as Kim Young-kyu, Ryu Jin-wook, and Lee Yong-chan despite a wide score gap.

However, kt also showed its strength in second place in the regular season, even though it lost, as the allocation team hit a grand slam against Lee Yong-chan in the last 9th inning. For NC, there was no effect on winning or losing, but the short-term game was a disappointing home run in that fighting the atmosphere was important.

On this day, the two teams started the best ace as they did in the first round. NC's Eric Peddy, who shines with 20 wins-200 strikeouts in the regular season, and Kt's Cuevas, the winning percentage king, played.

Contrary to expectations that it would be a hot pitching match, the joys and sorrows of the two pitchers were sharply divided. Peddy, who skipped the wild card game and the semi-playoff due to an injury that hit his arm by a hit in his last appearance in the regular season, pitched hard as if to repay his teammates.

Based on a fastball of more than 150 kilometers per hour, he properly mixed curves and changeups to overwhelm the kt batters. In particular, in the fourth inning, all three kt center hitters, Anthony Alford, Park Byung-ho, and Jang Sung-woo, were struck out.

Peddy, who pitched hard with three hits and one run in six innings, struck out 12 and set a new record for most strikeouts in a playoff game, surpassing Sun Dong-yeol (Haetae Tigers) in 1989 and Chris Flexen (Doosan Bears) in 2020.

Cuevas, on the other hand, came off the mound early after being hit hard by six hits, two walks and seven runs (four earned runs) in three innings.

NC beat Cuevas with three hits and one run, Park Min-woo two hits and two runs, Kwon Hee-dong three hits and three RBIs, and Oh Young-soo three hits and two RBIs, including a home run.

Cuevas, who returned to kt as an alternative foreign player in June, played a decisive role in kt's rise to second place, with 12 wins, no losses, and a 2.60 ERA in 18 regular-season games.

However, on this day, as if he was conscious of his opponent, Pedi, his control shook as his shoulders tightened. In the third inning, third baseman Hwang Jae-kyun even made a painful mistake of missing an ordinary infield fly ball, making Cuevas difficult. 토토사이트 순위

In the end, the showdown between the two foreign aces, which drew attention, ended with Pedi's complete victory. The two teams will play the second game at the same venue on the 31st. Kt predicted Wes Benjamin and NC predicted Shin Min-hyuk as the starting pitcher.

Part 1 - Artefacts from the Franklin Expedition

(Part 2 here and Part 3 here)

Ohhh lads, I think this is going to be a long one, so I shall break it into 3 posts - for to stay within the picture limits.

It hath come to my attention that the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich has a magnificent online catalogue of Franklin Expedition relics. Having just spent a diverting couple of hours combing through the archive, I felt compelled to share a few items that I thought were particularly interesting or touching (would absolutely recommend conducting your own reconnaissance through the catalogue, though).

A cloth bound pocketbook ('Christian Melodies'), belonging to Graham Gore

Excerpt from poem pictured on open page, above— "But if in yon immortal clime, Where flows no parting tear, That root of earthly love may grow, Which struck so deeply here"

Gold dust cover of James Reid’s (Ice-master on HMS Erebus) watch

A gold regulation lace ribbon sewn into a circular band (possibly an officer's cap band)

Pair of leather and wire gauze snow goggles

Wooden clothes brush belonging to Henry Wilks, Royal Marine Private (Third Class)

A silver table fork belonging to Sir John Franklin. The back of the handle bears the Franklin crest (conger eel's head between two branches). Other cutlery that was found included spoons and forks* belonging to Alexander MacDonald, John Peddie, Lt Graham Gore, Lt James Fairholme and Lt Thomas Henry Dundas le Vesconte.

*Terror forks presumed lost in battle

Preserved sample of tinned meat from the Franklin expedition

Sledge runners from a boat sledge

Following the end of campaign 1, since I'm sticking to the chronological order, I've watched the numerous one-shots Critical Role did between the two campaigns. Man, the hiatus was long !

Some of them I appreciated less than others : wherever it was a tone of the one-shot, or the mood I was in... for example, I think I didn't enjoy enough the "Once Upon a Fairytale Cruise" (this one was, I think, because there was a weird inbalance between the fun dating cruise with explicit details, and the horrifying aspects of the fairy tales), or the "Epic Level Battle Royale" (this one was definitely because of the rythm, which suprised me because the precedent battle royale was so much fun ! But Liam made it real hard for the audience even if it was in character), or the Kobolds & Catacombs one-shot (this one was because perhaps it was a "normal" one, maybe too normal, and even if it was with a guest, there was a lot of combat and the universe did not vary very much from usual).

My favorites were, in order :

"Honey Heist", because I'm a Marisha Ray fan above all else. The system itself was really simple, and the story had a simple goal, but it's a demonstration of how you don't have to have a complex RPG system to have lots of fun : Criminal bears ! Plus the cast was just so great : seeing Matt as a player is a delight, especially as Trinket. Brian as a honey badger on a bender, Liam and Taliesin as brothers that have "roaring 20's criminals from New York" accents, Sam as panda that just can't shut up about being a vegan. I love that there were rolls to see what role the bears played in this heist, but also rolls to see what hat they're wearing. Bits and pieces :

"With these hats, there’s no way anybody in the town of Westruun would think that we’re bears !!"

Liam and Taliesin are playing it like honey is cocaïne, while Peddy Tuxpin tastes honey like a wine, because this is Sam.

Marisha as Vex, and Marisha as Victor, she's amazing.

The couple of criminal cows that are called Bonnie and Cow

Brian's personal challenge to make as many euphemisms as possible.

Tova, who survived the Nine Hells - it's canon ! - and is part of an order called 'the High-Bear Nation' (this pun is amazing, and so is Liam Las Vegas' line : "Listen, to one extremely high bear to another...").

And of course the game at the safe's door, this all sequence is hilarious.

Matt, to Marisha : "I'm so proud I married you."

Paddy had to ressuscitate Trinket who was uncounscious, by making "snout-to-snout", or "BPR", and Sam had the audacity to shout in character : "Trinket, if you died, I would be so upset !"

"Thursday by Night" was so great !! I know nothing about the system of Vampire: The Masquerade, but when Taliesin talked about vampires, I was on board instantly. Add to that the cast playing "themselves as newbies vampires" and you just know it's going to be great. Everyone dressing up vaguely goth (they are handsome people), and then for the 2nd part on Halloween in costumes, was great. Like Liam's one-shot, they all begin in a familiar place (the Nerdist set), that is strange and overturned by a calamity ; and Taliesin really brought the weird in the building ! And I love that it was destined, in his mind, to be a TPK since they are newbies vampires and he knew his friends would be reckless in this world ; but Laura saved her and Travis' non-life by staying true to her good heart, and this made for a very statisfying end. Bits and pieces :

Taliesin keeps mispronuncing "stamina" into "stanima".

Sam doesn't know anything else in the building except the Critical Role set.

Matt and Marish dying super early because they had to go prepare their wedding (Marisha, when Matt dies "We always knew you would be the first to go in the apocalypse", and Sam asking in-game if this means they get a refund on their wedding gifts, cracked me up).

The True Blood (Sam's only reference when it comes to vampires) and the Twilight (Travis' only reference) things.

The fact that they made secret alliances with each other, sometimes using mind-control (Liam was such a little shit ! I love it) so that in the end they all betrayed and double-crossed.

Travis saying "Can I take my shirt off..." and Taliesin, Liam and Sam simultenously responding "Always".

The lizard people living in the L.A. sewers, because of course there is, and some of them are fans of the cast because Critters are everywhere.

The whole sequence where Liam hunts a human that turns out to be Will Friedle, and stuff his body inside the hole of a porta-potty (Taliesin : "Actually you can shove a whole body in a porta-potty hole. Don't ask me how I know that")

The "Shadow of War" one-shot, because I'm a huge LoTR nerd and also Darin De Paul is such a treasure that I would watch anything he's in.

The Grog as a DM one-shot was so much ridiculousness that it won me over. It was very relaxing, since there were no high stakes at all, except Scanlan trying to kill Trinket. Also Seeing Travis panicking as a DM was a delight.

[watchingcr]

Peddy: you don’t need all those riches and luxury. You just beed the bear necessities

Trinket: ..anyway..
