being naked is not sexy. wearing a white 18th century shirt with poofy sleeves tucked into a pair of black high waisted trousers is sexy. there are no exceptions

REMEMBER WHEN ZAK WROTE A ROMANTIC POEM FOR A GHOST BUT ENDED UP BUSTING HIS ASS ON ICE

[francisrmcrozier]

not to be bitter but I'm never going to get over the fact that we could have had 4 more franklin expedition centric seasons of the terror and instead I'm here in purgatory rewatching the same 10 episodes until I've memorized every frame

#ofc the premise for s2 is interesting and timely #but when i think about the original 5 season pitch it's :/ #the s2 premise could make a great show but i would rather the terror stick with arctic exploration #or at least something more than tangentially related to the s1 premise

“History is not about dates and quotes and obscure provisos. History is about life. About change. About consequences. Cause and effect. It’s about the mystery of human nature. The mystery of time. And it isn’t just about politics and the military and social issues, which is almost always the way it’s taught. It’s about music and poetry and drama and science and medicine and money and love.”

— David McCullugh (via wittyhistorian)

“Foolishness, sir. How  can old wounds heal while maggots linger so richly? Or a peace hold for ever built on slaughter and a magician’s trickery? I see how devoutly you wish it, for your old horrors to crumble as dust. Yet they await in the soil as white bones for men to uncover.”

keep a journal about your expedition. detail how you fall in love with another man and absolutely nothing about the expedition itself.
