Hey Everyone, I Know It's Going To Be A Busy Day For A Lot Of People, But Google Enrolled Everyone Over

Will never not giggle at Nedward's "happy birthday :)"

Just in love with Trystan Gravelle here - the completely unexpected (though I might have expected it in that I did know he was Welsh) accent here! I thought he'd sound like Henry Collins but he sounds fresh off the set of Gavin and Stacy!

Sir, yes sir

#oh oh oh #radiohead

POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS: i am not a creep. i am not a weirdo. i do know what the hell i’m doing here. i do belong here

You're 100% spot on here - Sumner's an addict written by someone who's never used! And very interesting take on recovery also!

So I need to babble about a contrast I noticed between two 'cold boys in boats' shows: The Terror and The North Water. So, in The North Water, Jack O'Connell is wonderful as ship's surgeon Patrick Sumner.

But, and this is a regretful but, a decision made by his character/the show's writers just straight up *busted* the show for me. He's supposedly (due to complex backstory reasons) addicted to laudanum/opium. Yet, in the third ep, he apparently decides to send *his whole supply* off with someone else, to somewhere else, and, it being the heckin' arctic, therefore loses it. I remember straight-up pausing the show to go rant to my partner "Is it this bitch's first day as a drug addict? He didn't even keep *any* on his person at all times? Come the heck on!"

Where in The Terror, after three years stuck in ice, this absolute madlad, Mr Blanky, still has his tobacco for his last smoke, on his person, at all times:

And gleefully takes it while waiting for the monsterbear to kill him. *That's* a sailor with an addiction I can believe in!

Aaaaarg tuunbaq attack! Fitzjames & the rockets!!

I don't post my craft here much but decided I'd like to try to. This is what I'm working on at the moment:

I make bobbin lace: at the moment I'm making a bookmark for a friend (what colour it is is a secret, hence monochrome photos) in Gütermann 100% silk on 12 pairs of bobbins.

Been making these little elephants

Decided they're going to be named for Franklin Expedition Personnel.

From top: Graham Gore, John Bridgens, Henry Dundas Le Vesconte (because he's lemony), William Pilkington.

This one is William Orren, of course. (added info in comments)

My bobbin-lace off the pins. Still monochrome to keep the secret of what colour it is in the remote chance my friend reads my tumblr. I wound too much thread onto the bobbins so I probably have enough to do a second one now 😃
