There are an estimated 200 bodies on Mt. Everest, Earth's tallest peak, and climbers often use them as markers to determine how close they are to the top.
These are three of the four most well-known bodies that currently are, or were at one time, on the mountain:
"Green Boots": the real identity of the body climbers refer to as "Green Boots" is presumed to be Tsewang Paljor, who perished in 1996. Not pictured here is the body of David Sharpe, who, when he stopped at Green Boots' cave to rest, slowly froze to death, even while approximately 40 other climbers passed by him dying and did nothing to help.
Hannelore Schmatz became the first German and the first woman to die on the mountain. She succeeded in reaching the summit, but ignored the warnings of her Sherpa on the way back down and camped overnight in the death zone. While she did survive the night, she finally succumbed to exhaustion, low oxygen, and frostbite on her way back to base camp, dying just 330 feet from safety. Her body is no longer visible on the mountain and has either been swept away by the high winds or buried under the snow.
George Mallory was the first person to attempt to climb Mt. Everest in 1924, using "primitive climbing equipment and heavy oxygen bottles." His upper torso, half of his legs, and his left arm were found in 1999. He was dressed in a tweed suit and a rope injury around his waist suggested he'd been climbing with someone else when they fell off a cliff.
Very much inspired by that Valentine Pin-Up Alastor merch where the only significant change is him having his bow-tie unclipped.
Anyway, happy valentine day sike, it's Aro week and we are begrudgingly going on dates to help our friends with their heist.
Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 (end)
not "i ship these characters" or "i want them to bond platonically" but a secret 3rd thing (I want them to be forced to interact by the Narrative bc they would HATE that)
I love these fools so much. I hope in the end they stay together or keep in touch. I heart them its like the dad who didn’t want a cat but loves the cat
some of yall will be like “i dont care about your dreams, i dont care about your spotify wrapped, i dont want to hear about your interests, dont you dare talk to me about your trauma,” and its like. what do you even have friends for. bc it sounds to me like you dont give a shit about anything that makes them a person. what do you talk about.
important addendum: if you cant read and you leave a dumbass comment on my post im just going to block you 💛
Johnathan Glazer, Oscar winning Director of The Zone of Interest, a movie depicting the wickedness of apathy during the Holocaust:
“Our film shows where dehumanisation leads at it's worst. It shaped all of our past and present. Right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people, whether they be the victims of October 7th or the ongoing attack on Gaza. All the victims of this dehumanisation. How do we resist? Alexandria, the girl who glows in the film as she did in life, chose to. I dedicate this to her memory and her resistance.”
