Just recently found that the Shackleton mini-series is all available for free on youtube! Highly recommend it if you liked The Terror and want to see more polar explorer content

Part 1

Part 2

My favourite trait in tomb raider is that every one is fucking terrified of Lara Croft. Not only is she fucking unkillable, but she continuously faces cartels, yakuza, and shadowy international illuminati groups and completely D E S T R O Y S them with only two fucking pistols.

Tomb Raider Legend: Taunts a yakuza leader in front of his henchmen saying “Or you could beg for your life like last time”

Tomb Raider 2013: Dudes are fucking shitting themselves when she gets a grenade launcher

Tomb Raider Netflix: Even Devereaux wanted to at least try to recruit her.

She’s like if Indiana Jones was mixed with Batman. I love it

One of my life long interests is polar expeditions and when Lego released the Endurance last month I NEEDED it and knew it would look so good in this spot next to my fireplace :)

The souvenir scotch bottle is a recreation of the scotch the men on the expedition would have drank, which I brought home from the UK.

And the tapestry is from EBAY so I don’t know if it’s depicting a certain expedition but it fits so well.

“Shackleton’s “Endurance” in the Weddell Sea off Antarctica”

[croziers-compass]

I cannot stop thinking about how the Antarctic men of the Shackleton traded things to one another and sort of created their own exchanged. The idea that these men thought of things to gift one another and created a social connection to one another by picking out their own personal belongings or rocks or items. And they gave them as gifts to one another. Effectively giving them meaning to be alive and to carry on. And then I think about items and the things the men of the Franklin Expedition probably gave one another. Clothing. Books. Cups. Tobacco. Chocolate. Things to give. Things to give. Even in the worst of it all there is something they can give. And they gave. To one another.

First day of working on the 3000+ piece Lego model I got for Christmas! Got about 70 steps done and it only took me an hour and a half!

….don’t ask how many steps there are total. I can see now why they called her the Endurance 😅

South: Ernest Shackleton

This book is available free on Project Gutenberg

I decided to have a read of this for my Schoolboy Ralph fic as I wondered if Shackleton might be a hero, and if so, why. Boy, it would certainly have satisfied the "hunger for factual information" 👀👀 I thought I would just share Shackleton's thoughts on the final loss of The Endurance to the ice:

And immediately he calmly and methodically starts to plan the next task, getting all of his men back safely:

INTERSTELLAR: We Had Acress Of Corn

“They had transited about 400 metres when they saw the unmistakeable sonar impression of the wave of mud that had been thrown up by the impact. And then the bow appeared. It was wedge-shaped and perfectly clear in outline.”

So, I beat Tomb Raider 1

And everyone talks about the wolves.

But you know what no one talks about? The fucking gorillas. That dude Harambe took 1 bullet and these fuckers take an entire clip.

And why are they all over Greece?????

But you know what <u>no one</u> no one talks about? The fucking

Skinless Centaurs

"objectively physically attractive but in possession of negative rizz" is one of my favorite character concepts. i think it's so great when there's an absurdly hot person who's just a complete fucking loser. the mood is unsalvageable the moment they open their mouth kind of deal. you get no bitches because you're so sucks.
