[jeyneofpoole]

hello ro jeyneofpoole boatgirl. The fitzjames news has rocked my world and rotted my brain because I love a historical mystery solved. As a AMC terror and a real life terror fan, what texts would you recommend to someone who just watched amc terror and now wants to read the research on the real thing

i love love love when i get this question ok. if your first exposure to the franklin expedition was the terror i think your best jumping-off point is michael palin’s erebus: the story of a ship. yes he’s the guy from monty python, no he’s not a professional historian, but it’s entertaining and well-researched and a great way to familiarize yourself with the general concepts that other more elaborate texts will touch on. then you just GOTTA read dr. owen beattie’s frozen in time, it’s one of the most iconic pieces of franklin literature and the descriptions of the beechey exhumations are so near and dear to me. some of the lead stuff is on shaky legs now, but this book was revolutionary for the longest time. then there’s may we be spared to meet on earth edited by russell a. potter et. al., which is a collection of letters to and from members of the franklin expedition. after you’ve read the others listed here you’ll be crazy enough to cry over this one.

a more niche read that i just finished was david murphy’s arctic fox, which is a biography of leopold mcclintock and his arctic career. it’s super compelling and mcclintock lived a very interesting life and seemed like a pretty okay guy especially for the time; murphy does a really good job and i don’t see this one recommended at all but it’s actually good. there are some minor issues with some little details surrounding, like, the peglar papers, for example, but that’s what the other books are for. honorable mentions include (ie they’re on my shelf staring me down) ice ghosts by paul watson, unraveling the franklin mystery: inuit testimony by david c. woodman, the man who ate his boots by anthony brandt, james fitzjames: the mystery man of the franklin expedition by william battersby, and icebound in the arctic by michael smith. but do NOT and i mean do NOT under any circumstances read dan simmons��� absolute drivel that novel isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. just watch the show and read these. ok love you byeeeee

PLZ MORE CULT!SUGURU AND STREAMER READER CRIMBS I AM STARVING I AM BEGGING I AM DROOLING ITS SO TASTY PLZPLZPLZ

PHDKDJDKD THE CHILDREN YEARN FOR THE TWITCH STREAMER AU …….. >:3c it’s just sooooo fucking funny anon cult!geto is . such a supportive lover LMAO even though he doesn’t know shit about twitch …. comes home after a long day of killing his sponsors (and etc) and goes to check on his baby. who is playing alan wake with thousands of people watching live and he’s just ^_^ are you having fun. yes? good… would you like some tea? <- and your chat is OBSESSED even tho they have never even seen his face. just his voice / demeanor gets them.

it is however a onesided love bc geto hates ur chat with every fibre of his being he hates it when they backseat he hates it when they thirst over you he haaaates it when they’re being insufferable. if he had it his way he would be your only viewer. tier 3 sub. i do still think he randomly donates an outrageous amount of bits in the middle of streams + watches them as he goes about his day …. very funny image in my brain of his cultists praying at his feet while he’s just smiling at how angry you’re getting over some silly puzzle. IT’S CUTE … he’s cute ……. he has killed chatters for u though and he will do it again <3

Thank you so much for everything you’ve given us so far and I look forward to every little update (including tumblr posts)!!!

Do you think that Tenel Ka uses the Force to dull any phantom pain from her missing arm? (I also need the distraction)

WHAT a great question :D with the disclaimer that I am not an expert in this topic:

phantom limb pain is common from what I’ve read, so it’s very likely to be something tenel ka would experience. I think especially early lightsabers TK might at first try to ignore it or power through it - lightsabers features so much growth for her, but you can’t tackle everything at once, yknow. So much of her feelings about being an amputee are tied up in her desire for bodily autonomy and independence, and so she might try to hold onto mentally controlling or ignoring pain - however, in lightsabers, she also comes to the realization of considering her use of the force another aspect of herself, not something that takes away from what she can accomplish. The force having application as a disability aid would probably tie in really well to her arc here.

noting that she was on a hapan ship when most immediately dealing with her injury, I think she might distrust doctors and be disinclined to see one about this due to everyone who was there being more motivated by the queen mother’s agenda than her welfare, and being extremely ableist to her in the process as I recall. In contrast, I think the early chapter in lightsabers where she considers and contrasts her experiences with Luke’s provide an indication that she might eventually pick his brain about possible force using techniques for controlling this type of pain. They are shown to have a relatively close relationship in this era. we don’t get much detail on like, medical facilities in Luke’s Jedi academy (the series is a bit sparse on logistics), but I could still see TK experiencing some friction depending on how they operate.

and of course this aspect of force powers would fall under the control umbrella of we use the control, sensing, alter classification of force powers, and is more specifically and aptly named control pain. I am curious if a Jedi could attempt to use this power for long term pain, or if it would be a strain in and of itself for that. One thing I read said that phantom limb pain may eventually dissipate with time, so perhaps using control pain might bring one to a point where it’s not needed. The force also could maybe be used to directly administer some treatments that are attempted to alleviate pain like nerve stimulation. Either way, this would be something she would likely be getting information from Luke about, and possibly training, as there might be some danger in attempting to learn this as an unsupervised student.

@fancyfade - I’m curious if you have any thoughts on Jedi using the force to manage chronic pain

cOUGH YOUR REBLOG OF MY POST WAS SO REAL-THE WIFE EVER

Doodle as a thanks hehe those tags were cool <33

IM CRYING AHAJGHS THANK YOUUU!!!!! 🥺🥺💖💖💗💖💗💖💗💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

HES SUUUUUCH!!!

A cringe fail loser wife, little Mr stay at home husband who wouldn't WANT to stay home- man who would burn toast and make solid boiled eggs. I LOVE HIM YOUR HONOR!!!💕💗💕💗💕💗💕💗💕💗

[fanfic-gremlin-ft-trauma]

First, hi!! I absolutely love your art and I cannot help but scroll over your blog almost everyday to cheer me up after a long day of college.

So, domestic Zukka? I have an idea, actually!! What about Zuko surprising Sokka by wearing a traditional Southern Water Tribe outfit or a Fire Nation one but all in Water Tribe colors? He'd be like "Sokka, look. I have a surprise for you." and then he gets all flustered when he sees that his boyfriend is wearing traditional Fire Nation clothing (or again, Southern Water Tribe stuff but in Fire Nation colors).

I'd love to see this idea coming alive with your skillful hands, but if it not, I'll be quite happy with any other scenario you come up with!! ☺️

Bye bye!!

HELLOOOAKOAAIIUNAUISUUKAKHUA SORRY IT TOOK ME LITERAL MONTHS TO ANSWER THIS BUT HJSGHJSUKHSUKH. anyway, so. as much as I would love to draw this I have not in fact picked up a stylus since like. last week, so I don’t have anything to give you right now. But!!!! I will absolutely draw this at some point but I nEEDED to get this out of my ask box cuz. it’s just. too good.

Zuko is a Man Of The People. so he takes culture suuuuuuper seriously so I can 100% see him doing this. And Sokka is kinda not expecting him to even acknowledge his culture since he was raised in a super imperialist it’s all about me country but when Zuko proves to not only wear his cultural clothes but also eat the food, craft the weapons, learn the practices and ways of life, Sokka is just like: oh. oh I picked a good one.

for the jelsa pet name prompt: darling

(i THINK its a bit of a toughie not sure though YOU GOT THIS!!!)

Chapter 6: darling

Elsa, Guardian-in-training, comes to the realization that names are important to the Guardians: the names of their previous selves in their former lives; the namesake titles of their storybook tales; and—especially—the names they give each other. She just can’t understand how Jack can come up with so many nicknames within a single Christmas season. — In which Jack Frost really really really wants his new co-worker to warm up to him, one (revelation) (Memory) (incident) nickname at a time. Prompt: Written entirely according to and for the petname-requests submitted to my tumblr askbox. See details inside for this utter chaos.

hihihi!! so at the recommendation of a friend i read your dead joker fic and the whole ryuji and akechi roommates series and OMG I LOVED THEM SO MUCH YOU ARE AN INCREDIBLE WRITER OMG PLEASE NEVER DIE

these are genuinely some of my favorite fics ive ever read like joker dying and akechi grieving over it actually destroyed me and the roomates fics? were so sweet?? omg??? i never knew how badly i needed ryugoro friendship until now and akira breaking down and acknowledging how badly he was affected by everything that happened was sooo well written and actually theyre all really well written <3 anyway thank you for writing such good fics im super excited to read more and i hope you have a wonderful day :3

OH MY GOD THIS IS SO SWEET?????????? IM GONNA CRY DUDE WAOUGHHHH

you are going to have to specify which dead joker fic for me my friend there are like three of them at this point and i'm nosy

BUT THAT ASIDE yeah!!!!!!! Ryuji Roommates especially is sooo very near and dear to me. Ryugoro friendship my fucking beloved. I think they would be besties actually if they could get past the first handful of awkward conversations. Fantastic dynamic potential there. Atlus let me into the writer's room. And obviously the akira fic (lovingly nicknamed akira goes to therapy) was one of my favorite things to write. I'm the grief guy I write about grief that grief doesn't have to be physical in any way

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

i was just abt to send you the selfship asks post but then you already rbd ithgsadghhgsaghdsa this was made for you i think.... OKOK SO . ☀️ for suguru and makima, 🧇 for satoru, 🛏 for oliver and 🌤 for sampo pleaseee:333333333 - @teddybeartoji

most beloved mickey WE R BONDED FOR LIFE I FEAR ……… i rlly saw the ’breakfast’ and rbd immediately 😭😭 MADE FOR US SO TRUE …….

☀️ - if they wake you up, how do they do it? with a kiss? or pushing you off the bed?

i’ll start w arisugu ….. he does wake me up!!!!!! with a kiss :3 several kisses if i refuse to open my eyes lmao but his standard is a gentle forehead kiss <3 then he whispers a lil ’time to wake up, sweetheart’ in my ear (<- which activates my brain in ways i cannot describe). i get difficult w him on purpose sometimes but he’s sooooo patient lmao …. also he secretly (or not to secretly) likes having to cup my face and assault me with kisses when i’m all grumpy </3

…. as for mari 😭 WELL . i think she definitely sets like . a bedtime and a ’waking up’ time for me lol she’s a control freak to the max. mayyybe she’d kiss me awake but i think it’s more likely she’ll just expect me to wake up from the alarm she set </3 she does, however, give me a kiss before leaving for work (on the rare occurrence i have a day off without her)…. basically we sort of wake up on our own, but she decides most little things like that for me :3

🧇 - do they cook breakfast? or do you? what breakfast?

SNIFFLES arigojo … T_T mickey i miss him sm </3 this is one of the few selfships i have where the cooking / cleaning / etc duties are v equal ….. gojo is great at cooking he just doesn’t have much interest for it. and i don’t mind cooking but i like being babied LOL so we find a middle ground … i guess we’re just pretty similar. some days i wake up to fresh pancakes in the kitchen, other times i wake up early to make him coffee <3 but mostly he prob orders food lmao.

fluffy pancakes + coffee with plenty of sweetener <- is his go-to. if it’s a rare day off he’ll take orange juice instead. the pancakes are usually topped with something, whipped cream + strawberries maybe…. i’m more keen on a sandwich or fruit bowl so he orders that for me :3 along w a tea of my choice <3

🛏️ - who wakes up first? what do they do when they first wake up?

sobsobsobsob . WELL . i think oliver probably wakes up first …. ? we have talked about this before but . in my mind he tends to wake up early while not being that much of a morning person LMAO so he’s just kinda …. sleepy and groggy and will have to drag himself out of bed. right into a cup of coffee. i am v similar so honestly assuming i lived with him … i’d prob be waking up around the same time . not to spend time with him obviously that’s gay but, you know !!! i do :/ get clingy on mornings like that . so i’m just rubbing my eyes and nuzzling against his bicep while he sleepily makes coffee for us both.

sometimes i def stay in bed longer though. and he’ll spend a lot of time staring at me ://// prob pokes my cheek and tells me to get up (esp if i have a lecture that day) but i just whine and roll to my side . the reverse is true sometimes too 😭 if he doesn’t Have to get out of bed he will deadass hold me down and force me to sleep in ….. sickening (it’s comfy i guess)

🌤️ - are either of you morning people? if not, what’s your pick me up?

HMMMM . well i am ….. similar to the man who must not be named in that i really like being up and about early but i’m . not quite built for it LOL … i’m a very sleepy creature . i have NO fucking clue what sampo is i’ll be so real with you 😭😭 could see him being very very groggy and silent in the morning but also .. the same energy level as usual . is just somehow in perfect spirits two seconds after waking up ??? idk he’s strange . either way i perk up w a blanket and cup of tea or coffee and he …… is the way . he is

ask me (morning-related) selfship questions !! <3

[saltlickmp3]

🎶🍃🌴 for both your ocs

YIPPEE THANBK YOUUU

for strangeways -

🎶 MUSICAL NOTES — what type of music does your oc like? do they listen to music very often?

strangeways is a musician with pretty broad taste but her main genres of interest are avant garde classical, neo folk, trad folk, new wave & goth. she likes jazz as well sometimes. she is one of those people who does actually listen to field recordings for fun but shes a fan of electronic & fairly high-concept stuff as well. some specific stuff she likes is nico's album desertshore, pentangle's album basket of light, nick drake, & the band demolition group, from slovenia. because when she grew up in the 20s recorded music was still more or less a novelty, she still regards listening to music as An Activity To Take Part In to some degree. she'll put records on in the background at home, but like she owns a walkman but doesnt use it often.

🍃 LEAVES FLUTTERING IN WIND — what is/was your oc's favorite subject in school?

she really liked history & art when she was at school, history especially she would always get through the reading quicker than everyone else & then read the rest of the book lol. art she liked but she doesnt have the same natural inclination for it as music. she didnt like music class cos she got bored of having to play Generic Classical Pieces & wanted to do funner stuff but again, this was in the 1920s so its a bit stuffy. strangeways went to uni for a history degree & really really enjoyed it, & her work in a folklore archive more or less has continued that :)

🌴 PALM TREE — does your oc have a green thumb? do they enjoy gardening?

not in the slightestttttt lol. at some point she lived in a house with an apple tree & a lemon tree in the yard & thats the closest she ever got. she has an ingrained distaste for really formal gardens & thinks theyre a bit of a waste of time

for mihangel -

🎶 MUSICAL NOTES — what type of music does your oc like? do they listen to music very often?

mihangel likes new wave & goth & post punk & ebm but also likes some slightly off-centre poppier stuff - talking heads etc, and a bit of indie. he'd like grandaddy if they existed yet for him lol. shes very much someone who was A Teenager In The Eighties so has a background in alternative music & a punk from then but didnt manage to entirely escape pop music, unlike strangeways who is fairly oblivious to the mainstream lol. mihangel likes having music on a lot, has a massive tape collection & a fair few records too. & she's gonna be really excited when cds become afforable for the average person as well hehe. for specifics, he likes new order & joy divison, lydia lunch, talking heads & husker du. she would think radiohead are 'pretty cool yeah but not too special' until kid a came out & then he would lose his shit but that hasnt happened yet in the timeline lol. she also bought the first pj harvey album when it came out as well because she's cool like that 💫

🍃 LEAVES FLUTTERING IN WIND — what is/was your oc's favorite subject in school?

he would probably like english the most if only cos he felt he got a creative freedom in it which sciences dont really offer. he wasnt an amazing student & generally felt he had cooler things he could be doing & more interesting places to be whiiiiiich lowkey is true. public school wasnt very nice to her, at the time a feminine guy who just Looked Gay, so she tended to just get the work done, or not, whatever, & then go home. she would write for fun in his free time though & has several unfinished novels & ramblings essays that went nowhere in filing cabinets & random drawers at her flat.

🌴 PALM TREE — does your oc have a green thumb? do they enjoy gardening

he doesnt miiiiiind it much but has better things to do & tends to forget - the yard of his flat is overgrown weeds ('its natural, its biodiversity, and i dont have a lawnmower so i couldnt do anything about it if i wanted to!') that just happens to have a few wildflowers growing in there, & a very large hydrangea bush you have to push past to get down the side of the house. sometimes as a kid he would have to help out with his grandparents garden on their farm which he hated, so the thought of doing yardwork sort of fills her with dread a bit lol. she can grow herbs out of a bucket though.
