Your jopzier scorbutic nostalgia post goes sooo fucking crazy and just blew a hole in my brain. You’re so real and correct for that one + I’ve never seen that connection before!!

Do you have any other resources on scorbutic nostalgia you could link? It’s very interesting to me. Thank you and have a lovely day :)

hi, thank you! i have not been able to stop thinking about jopzier since i learned about the hallucinations. dear god

(sorry this is late, i posted the horrible thing and then disappeared for half a week to a convention lol)

i had to go down one hell of a rabbit hole to find any information about scurvy beyond the initial symptoms and treatment options because apparently that's the only free information about scurvy on the internet, oh my god. but i found this article about scurvy on national geographic (which i had to relinquish my email address to read so i would argue it's not actually free) which interviews a professor of humanities named jonathan lamb about his book, scurvy: the disease of discovery. his work looks at how scurvy (and other 18th century diseases) shape and influence literature, so rather than being about the science of scurvy, he researches how it's used in literature and the i guess emotional effects of it on culture? he's basically the only modern-day person talking about scurvy, though i was able to find a few research papers (also locked behind paywalls) that seemed to support his research. i wouldn't know though. can't access them </3

i was able to find another paper by lamb on scorbutic nostalgia which talks about thomas trotter's studies on scurvy back in the late 18th century. of course the paper cost $50 to rent (or, as of today, it's not even accessible even with payment, lmfao) so i could only look at the abstract for it.

anyway his book has a whopping 2.6 stars on amazon and scathing reviews about how dense and meandering it is, so i nabbed myself a Convenient Digital Copy instead to scan through. my primary goal was to see if mr. lamb had hard evidence of hallucinations as a symptom of scurvy, since i couldn't find anything (for free, online) that wasn't penned by jonathan lamb about these hallucinations. turns out his meandering, dense writing worked in my favor, because this guy LOVES quotes and about half of the book is just that. so i found the section about scorbutic nostalgia and discovered a veritable trove of contemporary journals and letters from sailors describing their vivid dreams. i marked up a bunch of stuff, so i'll share some of what i read under the cut through so you can avoid having to witness the book proper if you so choose. highlighting is my own, obviously.

hopefully this helps! finding resources about scurvy is actually so frustratingly difficult.

I must be a 16th century sailor with scurvy and his balls must be some sort of citrus, the way I'm guzzling them down

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

Yohoo~ Oh beautiful pirate lady! I have a question. Why the fascination with Captain Scurvy?

-Nova Chant

...I suppose I should tell you, though I'll keep this brief.

I have reason to believe that Captain Scurvy is an old friend of mine from childhood... Well, my only friend from those days, in fact.

I first became suspicious of him when he mentioned his name was Nikolaus, and the suspicion only grew as I noticed his interests in piracy and his choice of animal companion. My old friend fits his description to a T.

...The only issue is... He died years ago, in the incident that started my path to villainy. I unleashed a deadly strain of anthrax upon my hometown, and he was unfortunately caught in the mess.

Stranger things have happened, though, and I just... I can't shake the feeling that it's him. It may be a misplaced sense of hope, but I have to know for myself. And if he's impersonating my dear Nikolaus, I'll make sure he sinks below the waves and never emerges.

Say my name And every colour illuminates We are shining And we will never be afraid again

Circe, my beloved. Her birthday is fast approaching so here's some more recent art of her! This is what she looks like at the start of the book! No tattoos, no piercings, and long beautiful hair. Much changes as the series goes on, but I will always have a soft spot for this era of her looks <3

#i have a whole face map so i know where to put all her freckles #she has a whole folder of drawings just for her and a whopping three (3) files for Adam that aren't even finished #as much as i hate (love) him he's just not as slay #give no quarter #GNQ: Circe #Circe #oc art #my art #my characters #muscle mommy #character art #i can't draw braids so forgive me if it looks wonky 😭 #greek mythology #pirate posting #scurvy brainrot #pirate fiction

my mother, my whole childhood: smiff you can't be this picky, it isn't sustainable, you're going to get scurvy

my mother, in 2020: my main supermarket stopped stocking My brand of chutney so i looked in every other shop in town and none of them have it either so now i have to order it in bulk online. it's really annoying

#yelling at clouds #a post brought to you by her posting in the family chat just now that she's just found it in lidl #in 2020 they didnt have a lidl to check #like she was right. i was in danger of getting scurvy as a child. #i am still not really eating enough of some things #it's just. my pickiness was always so Inexplicable. so Confusing. so Why Are You Like This #as if she. does not also have arfid.

Do you think the Yellowjackets got scurvy

#you can develop scurvy if you go at least three months without vitamin c #they were out there for nineteen. and I don't think they had many (if any at all) fruits and vegetables with them #Yellowjackets tag #og fandom post tag

i think what i've learned from the last few days of terrorposting is that finding unbelievable joy in these niche deep dives is one of my greatest qualities and something wonderful to nurture. i used to have a big book of cat breeds i took to elementary school to read cover-to-cover when my work was done. and i suppressed this part of myself for years bc i was scared to "seem autistic" to others

#Personal #My godbrother is autistic so I never had like a negative association w the concept BUT #I ALSO saw that OTHER people had a lot of issues with it. I wanted to be liked I wanted to seem 'normal' to others #I never wanted to seem like I was rambling about something others found boring #Now I'm on the autism website and I can post about zinc deficiency and lead poisoning and scurvy. And get notes #I really pity how many NTs seem to have a fundamental incuriosity about the world. They will never know the beauty of the 1793 yellow fever
