#i cant remember the exact words but it was some similar sentiment

[delyth88]

One more thought.

I was pleasantly surprised that the person who was all "Loki is a villain" was Loki. I was expecting that to come from outside him, from Mobius or someone else. I like that it's not being forced on him.

Maybe it will be, by other characters later if that's the theme of the show, but at least he's acknowledged it first.

Since I see you like antarctic explorers: Amundsen and Scott for the historical figure thing! :3

Heythank you! This isgonna be hard but ok: Let´sstart with Amundsen

Why Ilike them: Amundsen was andstill is one of the greatest, most qualified and talented (can I saythat?) polar explorers of all time. I have ultimative respect for himbeing (probably) the first man at both poles!

Why Idont: His personality was asunforgiving and cold as the polar regions themselves. I mean this ison the one side, a good feature but on the other side.. a person ofhis team committed suicide because of him so…

Favouriteanecdote: In his polar diaryAmundsen literally wrote: The most important man on the wholeexpedition is the cook. This amused me.

Favouritequote: I like this one becauseit shows his respect of nature: „Everythingis on a reduced scale in the polar regions; we cant afford to beextravagant.“ and Ialso like the phrase he said in The last place on earth, a TVadaption of the drama, „Ifeel the irony, if I´m to be honest my dream since childhood hasbeen the north, the north pole itself. And here I am, at the exactopposite end of the earth.“

BrOTP:Whoa that one is hard butprobably Cook? They were shipmates on the Belgica and he trainedAmundsen in polar travelling and when none believed Cook that he wasat the North Pole, Amundsen did. He never doubted him ,despite Cooksunpopularity in press and media.

OTP:I dont ship Amundsenromantically to be honest.

An-oh-god-what-did-that-have-to-happen:WHY DID YOU TELL NONE DUDE; LIKE IT WOULD HAVE MADE THINGS EASIER FOREVERYONE INCLUDING YOURSELF!

Unpopularopinion: Amundsen never wantedto explore, he just wanted to be first

Awish: more pictures of hisexpedition, his crew, more biographies of his crew MORE RECORDS?

5words to best describe them:north-fram-cold-planning-dogs (I´m not good at this sorry)

Mynickname for them: I dont haveone, I call him either Roald or Amundsen

Ifyou could say one thing to them:WHERE DID YOU DIE AND HOW? BECAUSE THATS STILL A MYSTERY TO THE POLARFANDOM

Favouriteportrayal of them: I like howthey portrayed him in The last place on earth (series) because itshows Amundsens character with all his flaws and strenghts andwithout prejudice

LEASTfavourite portrayalof them:Ironically I hate how he got portrayed in The last place on earth(book), because honestly he was not that perfect and immortal. He wasan explorer not a viking for gods sake.

OK now Scott!

WhyI like them: I don´t likeScott, the tragic british hero , I dont like Scott the passiveaggressive who planned everything wrong. I like Scott the man, justhow he was. I like to see him as a normal human. I like his cutelittle diary entries, his sentimentality towards animals his elttersto best friends and his thirst for science

WhyI dont: his moodswings and badtemper, obviously.

Favouriteanecdote: Many but none is asadorable as this one:

„Debenhamhad four or five poets, and more popular still – a collection ofthirty „paperback sixpennies“, which every one was alwaysborrowing. He kept them in a box under his elevated bunk, and Iremember one evening after we had turned in, some one came into ourcubicle and started burrowing about. Debenham said, „Now then, whatare you after down there?“ A voice replied, „Where do you keepthis sixpenny novels, Debenham?“ It was Scott, who couldnt sleepand wanted some light literature!“                                                     -With Scott: the silver lining; Griffith Taylor (read this book,guys!!!!)

Favouritequote: I know this is allclichee and mainstream but it´s his message to the public…

BrOTP:Con and Bill, because? They were so different yet so similar. Theywere dependent on one another and they needed each other. They diedtogether, Bill died basically in Cons arms.

OTP:I dont really have one, to be honest. (JUST NOT KATHLEEN)

An-oh-god-what-did-that-have-to-happen:I´m sorry Con, b u t  why didnt you have more trust in dogs…?

Unpopularopinion: Scotts first object ofthe expedition (at least for himself) was not the south pole. It wasa lovely idea to him but mainly a strategy to actract the public andthe  press. It would garantuee him money for his funds. What hereally wanted was a scientific achievement (which the exepefition hadbut it was sadly overshadowed by the loss of the polar party..) Andwhen Amundsen appeared things got tricky..

Awish: better weather for thejourney back?? If that actually made a difference..

5words to best describe them:antarctica-ponies-royal navy-worried-diary

Mynickname for them: Con

Ifyou could say one thing to them: „You´renot as bad as you think! But the next time.. please consider dogs“

Favouriteportrayal of them: David Cranesbiography (Scott of the antarctic) was really good in my opinion,because it focused on Scott the man, not Scott the hero or Scott thevillain.

LEASTfavourite portrayal of them:THE LAST PLACE ON EARTH BOOK AND SERIES. Like, Scott was not the impersonateddevil.

name me a historical figure and I´ll answer ..
