In honor of me finding the edition of the kids magazine with the article that first got me interested in the franklin expedition back in 2011, here's some images from it that are permanently edged into my brain

This man has been haunting me for the past 14 years im so serious. I could've drawn from from memory

This dude lying dead in the snow was also something (I was 9 btw)

I love this fuckass franklin portrait

VICTORY POINT NOTE MENTION!!! I also found this green bone very fascinating

Okay I hope this hasn't been done yet but I need yall to read the English translation of "Winterreise: Gute Nacht", the only non English song (? Idk about Macushla I'll update this) from the Crozier playlist. Thank you Dave "don't read too much into it" K

A stranger I arrived here,

a stranger I go hence.

Maytime was good to me

with many a bunch of flowers.

The girl spoke of love,

her mother even of marriage.

Now the world is dismal,

the path veiled in snow.

For my journey I cannot

choose my own time;

I must pick the way myself

through this darkness.

My mooncast shadow acts

as my companion

and on the white meadow

I look for deer’s footprints.

Why should I stay longer

until they drive me away?

Let stray dogs howl

outside the master’s house.

Love loves to rove—

God made it so—

from one to the next.

Sweetheart, goodnight!

I will not disturb your dreams:

that would spoil your rest.

You must not hear my footsteps—

soft, softly shut the doors!

As I leave I shall write

‘Goodnight’ upon the gate for you,

so that you may see

I have been thinking of you.
