#or is that more for scurvy?

The Adventures of Steve and Orphan No. 60 This is, to put it bluntly, the end. My collection of snapshots in the life of Steve only ever extended this far. I finished the first draft just over a year ago, before the stream where Technoblade broke Dream out of prison. I didn't know what was going to happen next at that point so I just stopped there. This is the last picture in the series. Hope you enjoyed so far! I has been a while since I started this, and my art skills have considerably improved since the first picture, -as you can clearly tell if you go back to the very start of the series. My original faint hope for this was that maybe Technoblade would see it and find it funny. Considering it was inspired by him saying on one of his streams that Steve was the real protagonist in the story, and then after that when he assured Dream in the prison that 'Steve' his pet polar bear, was going to rescue them and save the day. That was before last June. I still miss him, (as I'm sure a lot of other people would say as well) and will continue to do so. Technoblade was basically my favourite youtuber for a decent period of my interest (maybe obsession would fit better? eh. I’m still in the fandom, just not as deep-) in the dream smp. (Well, the only reason I kept watching it in the first place). I might do a commemoration picture at some point, but I'd like to wait till my art skills are at the level to really do it justice. Technoblade was literally my inspiration and I honestly don't know what the appropriate thing to say is, so- Technoblade Never Dies. :)

-and eat your soup, it’s good for you!

Goodsir, I respect your efforts to invent talk therapy a few decades early but I'm not wholly convinced...

#this line always makes me laugh. like. fuck dude there sure are! #and I can't even pull out my beloved 'the old problems have been solved but new problems have appeared!' #because the old problems (stranded in the arctic; scurvy; bear that eats you) very much have not been solved #they have just acquired new and interesting problems (hauling your own bodyweight on badly-made sledges; more scurvy) #the terror

a little illustration for the «Captain Walton listens Frankenstein's story» scene

#me and the bad bitch i pulled by being autistic #(works for both of them tbh) #oh no it's scurvy time for Victor :(( #poor baby in the arctic #in fact i would like to try to draw more illustrations #i want to draw the same one but in a mirrored form with Clerval nursing Victor (you know the *parallels* and all that stuff) #have no idea how to draw ship cabin so it looks very random lmao #and OH PLEASE open the pic for better quality #frankenstein #victor frankenstein #robert walton #frankenstein fanart #gothic lit art #gothic literature

my job is reactivating and rehabilitating patients in post surgery care and one of the first things i tell them once they've tried to drink some juice and stand on their legs without throwing up is "every bite is a good bite" and i think that's a good sentiment for everyone

#i tell them “if you have to eat 5 panacottas and nothing else today then that's a win” and then i give them panacottas #actually it's not a win bc they need way more than that #5 panacottas and a few supplementary nutritional drinks and then we're all set #caramel flavoured chocolate pudding is also a good option #an option anyone outside a hospital would discourage to be the only thing you eat in a day. but we will nag and bug you until you eat 2 #ive seen a lot of people here on tumblr talk about the need for a neutral food view #that morals don't exist in food #and it's true #to become healthy after your body has kind of been under the greatest toll ever (stomach open wide) there is no such thing as bad food #pickapost #tho of course you will develop some health issues if you don't have a proper diet #like scurvy or kidney stones #that's no good #or blood fats that will lead to health issues later in life #but compared to malnutrition those are irrelevant #nutrition comes first otherwise you cannot live #and when it comes to nutrition every bite is a good bite

hi long time fan first time caller what do u think motogp guys wld do. in the water drafts things. that wld surely end up with them in da water...... i think uve talked abt this before but i love when mens egos put them in danger <- the terror fan

okay again im a leedle tipsy so im not exactly sure what ya mean by 'water drafts.' clumsy googleing has yielded only complex descriptions of fluid dynamics so ummmmm im gonna cast them in the terror. colonial hubris ! cannibalism ! stories i enjoy.

the thing about the beginning of the terror is that its party boat vs weirdo boat in many ways. and im doing away with sir john literally entirely sorry. but like. party boat with valentino (VERY fitzjames kinda guy) and his 18 very close lackeys (poor academy boys you ARE going 2 have to eat each other. SAD ! well theres other twinks. CHOMP) vs. marc with his extremely keyed in agenda and low empathy management style. off to find the north west passage. what could go wrong.

WELL. if youre vale there is literally no way in HELLLL you are listening to marc when he warns about the ice pack being too intense. like. this fucking twink who's WAYYYY younger than me and maybe its his first polar expedition and also i want to fuck him. hell no. i want GLORY. damn it all. and it devolves from there... fucked rations and frozen snow and the ice pack and a not-polar bear demon that slaps down their efforts easily. mutiny. hunger. despair. and through it all-- love. vale and marc putting their differences aside for their men. theres suffering, yes. death, absolutely. but theres love, too....

#if this about whitewater... i can answer that. #callie speaks #asks #feel free 2 resend im game #was going 2 write more but oh god... the wine.... #motogp #marc with scurvy just bleeding through his scars.... vale the last one alive.... #POSTS FOR AN AUDIENCE OF MEEEE

the terror modern au but they're all flat earthers hunting down the ice wall. hickey's the only one who doesn't believe in the conspiracy theory going into the voyage, but he plays it up so bad that he gets people believing in even more insane shit

#the terror #he convinces tozer the earth is hollow #manson asks how that's even possible and hickey's crackpot explanation makes gibson so hard he gets scurvy #talked about this last night with a friend and realized more people needed to see this. because i can't stop thinking about it #.txt

im sick of having knowledge and skills locked behind a paywall.

why is it always “well you need to pay at least $15,000 a year to learn that for four years before i even CONSIDER hiring you”??

whatever happened to “this is a fine young lad. he may only be seven but let me take him under my wing and teach him the ways of being a blacksmith so he may one day be my successor”???

#i want to be a child in a village in the 1800s and learn every skill ghem die of scurvy #sounds pretty rad if you ask me #like learning piano would be cool but nooooo i need to pay an app $120 a year or find a teacher thats even more expensive #god i want to learn so much #i want all the skills #how can i best minmax my curent build? #my current build being a teenager with adhd #can i just like upgrade everything on my skilltree? #like i got musical knowledge but my sight-reading sub-skill is lackimg a few points #everything would be so much easier if run by skill points #or if i had an epic mentor to guide me through life who is very knowledgeable #people be like what do you want to do when you grow up? #IDK MAN EVERYTHING??? #too much goin on in my brain #adhd #actuallyadhd

Did you guys know that humans have a gene to produce vitamin c we just don’t express it anymore

#it like de-evolved sometime after we evolved the ability to see red which allows us to find fruit more easily #now we can get scurvy

[songofstrawhats]

Whenever fics specifically mention Nami or Sanji buying citrus at port I'm just like.....

That's why they have the tangerine trees???? Tangerines are very much citrus!! They will keep you from getting scurvy!! Like I appreciate the realism but the tangerine trees are very much right there!!!

#the trees are our convenient 'oh dont worry about scurvy' excuse!!! they showed up the arc after the scurvy infodump for a reason!!!! #do you know how much fruit these trees produce??? they flower and fruit at the same time okay and if the skin is thick enough it stays good #and you can make marmalade and stuff and ALL THAT WILL ALSO PREVENT SCURVY #all im saying is that nami would not go out of her way to pay for somwthing that is right there #if nami is buying citrus i expect the next line to be about the terrible citrus greening exposure that made all her trees inedible lmao #ANYWAYS TODAY IN MINOR FIC COMPLAINTS LMAO #my other complaint is that the trees should be drawn with blossoms more #citrus blossoms next to citrus fruit is such a delightful thing and my floridian heart wants more of it!!!! #lori chat

enough angst -- we are going fluff and happy shit. let the countries free from the fucking trauma and let them go wild at a playground or something. alfred gets to make a pie with a happy family who loves him. matthew has loads of friends and they're having a dinner party! fuck it, kiku gets to play with those rhythm games and claw machines at an arcade

ergejiorerjo you... you do know you don't have to read things you don't want to, right? I'm not offended if my writing isn't your cup of tea. But I would also like to know whether this was even for me.

My last two fics were family support-based and pretty slice of life or otherwise very loving? Another recent one was two people getting to know each other as they bust a mutual nutte, and yeah, the Nedcan breakup wasn't precisely citrus and sunshine, but I'm not sure what you expect from a historical hetalia blog here, bud. Considering the historical part of that, I'm keeping it light. I have one fluffy, cute human AU if that's what you'd prefer, or there are a lot of other artists who'd meet your needs better. It's okay.

#the ask box || probis pateo #ngl eriogjierioer this was REALLY funny timing because I am literally sitting in an ER berth researching Viking social mores #and considering I used to write about scurvy cannibalism and fucking plagues and wars #this IS the fluff and happy shit.

lady terror question for you: 😊

do lady terror and francis ever argue with each other and how would they apologise/make up?

also how would you describe her relationship/interactions with the other characters, friendships etc.

OOOOOOOOH

OK OK ok... First? oh yeah. Without revealing too much, they have argued like HELL with each other throughout. And of course, as you can imagine, the worst of their arguments (with some of the most bleak and cutting words- from the both of them) occur during year 2 in the ice off king william land which... yeah. And I tell ya. Some anxieties and fears (and even love- weirdly and fucked up as the expression of it might be) are revealed through them (in fact- the "I have everything to fear of you" bit that I love hauling out all the time is the butt-end to one such argument. and it's so hot god damnit). As for making up? well... you'll see 😉(just know that it's sweet and tearful and cuddly). AS FOR OTHER RELATIONSHIPS??? OHHHHHH THANK YOU I'VE BEEN WANTING TO TALK ABOUT THOSE FOR A WHILE!!!! Bc I love her relationship with Francis but I've written just as much dialogue with her and other characters as well.

Thomas Blanky is easily the person that she vibes with the most on either ship- bc he comes from a very similar sailing background that she does (more merchant ship/whaling stuff than naval expeditions) and she’s much more appreciative of his kind of sense of humor and general outlook on things. It sets her at ease somehow, and also reminds her of her father. Not to mention that he also treats her not just with respect but with the kind of camaraderie that she experienced on her father’s ship- like not a lot of people on these ships would just… hang out with her? And exchange filthy jokes and limericks while they work. And have a genuinely friendly rapport that isn’t marred with all the victorian social trappings- which is what she wants at the end of the day. If anyone is her true bestie on this expedition, it’s gotta be Mr. Blanky 🥰

The second most important relationship is with Jopson. He was a bit wary of her at first, but the more times she spends on Terror, and the more she sees both her and the captain warming up to each other? Not to mention her concern for his well-being (which is something that no one ever really shows him)??? He kindof ends up seeing her as the elder sister that he’d never had.

James Fitzjames is, of course, her natural frenemy. Kindof like a Darcy figure honestly (watch this space). But I think they have some of the most interesting conversations I've written honestly. I think she catches on fairly early that a lot of James is a front- and James is unsettled by that because the thing that masculinity has afforded him is adiquate cover, but to be confronted by the feminine and be seen? Scares the shit out of him, but he still respects and cares for her.

Goodsir is her little Inuktitut study buddy and confidante on Erebus. Their cabins are even right next to each other. They're both kind of in the same position (just in different disciplines, ofc) , and they do try to look after each other as best they can. This man will bring her a cherry stone heating pad when she's having cramps, the absolute king that he is, and also pass on information to her that others wouldn't deem suitable for her ears. She even helps him out in the surgery every now and again when Dr. Stanley can't be fucked! They're rational critical thought buddies.

AND SPEAKING OF BUDDIES!!! SILNA!!!! god there's a lot going on there and I don't want to reveal too much but they are nb gal pals and there's nothing none of these stuffy old british bitches can do about it and that's all I have to say on the matter. 1000% a part of the 'respect indiginous folks' defense squad.

there is so much more. but these are sort of the major ones for me that I've fleshed out so far. (honorable mention to Bridgens, who is her book club buddy and who she loves having conversations with about this stuff. she endears herself to old farts like that what can I say?) More to come ofc when I finish this damn enterprise but THANK YOU FOR THE ASK!!!!!

#I don't talk about how much she interacts with other characters thank you for giving me the opportunity #also no I didn't forget hickey. but he's more a narrative foil than a friend you know what I'm saying #from day one he's had what I like to call 'pussy envy'. and you can do with that what you will my friend #lest I remind with that dynamic there is a notorious boat knife involved. so just. again. watch that space 😂 #ask games #lady terror #egg's oc's #seriously can't thank you enough for the excuse to run my fucking MOUTH about my GIRL #the malaise of the week was getting to me this fixed me like an orange to a scurvy riddled body

[acheronist]

i really like the ghosts in the terror. the idea that all these fucked up ghosts are walking around king williams land with big pathetic wet eyes and chains in their faces and muscles stripped from bone to be eaten and tattered navy coats that don't fit because they were starving and claw marks all over them from being ripped to shreds by tuunbaq and silna (exiled shaman protector of the land) is like Did i not suffer enough with you assholes while you were alive. Do i really have to watch your spirits stumble around the shale now too 🙄 fucks sake.

#more of this i think #the first three men they buried on beechy just playing like *riddled in scurvy symptoms* and playing card games together forever i guess

[petoskeystones]

19th century explorers were like time to go to the arctic! oh god oh fuck everyone has scurvy this is terrible. everyone dies or makes it home barely alive (because of the scurvy). not change Anything about the expedition planning. time to go back to the arctic! oh god oh fuck everyone has scurvy again this is terrible. everyone dies or makes it home barely alive (again, because of the scurvy). not change Anything about the expedition plans. and they did this for about thirty years

#girl. bring more limes. #i know there was more going on (lead #etc) but also it seems like scurvy was The big issue. and we knew how to fix it. perhaps think ahead #to the scurvy that all your friends got. and bring more limes #franklin expedition

[scolek]

i think some people want to write about something specific in a sickos: hahaha yes... yes!! type of way and they dont really give a shit about making the worldbuilding justify what theyre writing about.

whether or not this is a good way to do things depends entirely on ones own preference. i would say that expecting everything to be explained without any loopholes is a very cinemasins-y approach, ie bad faith, but there is also such a thing as lazy worldbuilding that doesnt even pass the sniff test. and those two things are probably opposite points on a spectrum, and it would depend on the individual how much they want to suspend their disbelief on any given day.

#i have more angry questions about flowers cannibal book but instead of asking them i have sought refuge in intellectualism #ok. but what about scurvy and goiters. protein deficiency isnt even that bad i can tell you from firsthand experience

[running-in-the-dark]

a super fun thing that my brain is really good at is hearing a random fact and remembering it forever. but only if it's bad :)

#the reason I'm thinking about that right now: I wish I had never read that having a crease on your earlobe means you're more likely to have #heart disease. #scared me so much that I read a whole paper about it #but it's been years now so I don't remember the details #just that that's a thing apparently #and guess what my brain does with that information? oh yeah of course I have to obsessively look at the ears of everyone now! does that #do anything helpful? nope! just makes me very very anxious :) #it's just like when I was a kid and I got nightmares about scurvy every time I didn't eat a potato for a week. #like. wow I could be so smart and everything if my brain wasn't constantly focused on random bullshit that is completely irrelevant 😭 #also this thing specifically: I've always been weirdly fascinated by ears and this made that a million times worse and also very scary. #like ooh that's a nice ear :) oh no death exists and this person is going to die and #yeah it sucks. #specifically choosing not to mention any names in this context because my god this shit is on my mind all the time already I really don't #need to say it where anyone can see #it's embarrassing enough #though anyone who has looked at my blog in the past month already knows who I'm talking about. #like. I really shouldn't allow myself to like anyone over the age of like. idk 45. #it's so unbelievably exhausting. #but annnyway I'm totally normal and fine :) #oh yeah I also have creases on my earlobes lol so that definitely added to the scariness (and THEN my mother randomly mentioned recently #that EVERYONE on her side of the family had/has heart disease. bitch WHAT the fuck. anyway so yeah guess we know what's gonna kill me #haha isn't that fun :) ) #ALSO the fact that my memory is very very bad means that I remember absolutely none of the details about shit like this. so it could very #well be completely irrelevant and harmless but i wouldn't remember that part. #and I think even if I found out more it wouldn't help. it's been an obsession for so long. I've never had one go away that I've had for #this long. so. guess I'm just fucked. #personal
