I'm Prisma, 23! She/They. The Queen of Angst. This blog is officially 18+! I tag when I remember to, sorry if I miss 🤷‍♀️ My asks are always open!

Welcome!

I am Bisexual and Genderqueer.

I'm Autistic and would love if you added tone indicators to asks!

I have no DNI. If you're vibes are off or you're a racist, trans/homophobic, think Autism is something that needs to be 'cured', or are a MAP/pedo I'll block you and curse your bloodline ✌

No, I am not a pr0-shipper, I block them. Yes, I made the mistake of associating with one in the past, but I have learned.

Likewise, I actively avoid discourse and will form my own opinions/block at my own discretion. DO NOT drag me in to your problems. (If I reblog from someone super problematic please tell me and I'll take care of it tho)

I know I sometimes post a lot about StF but this isn't really a minor friendly blog.
My Nsft/w tag is: After Hours for those who wanna blacklist it

(Keep an eye out, she changes constantly ^)

three-sentence fic: crozier and lady terror, epistolary. <3

From a plaque beside a series of letters in the Canadian Museum of History

One of the more fascinating discoveries from the latest dive to the impeccably preserved HMS Terror is a series of notes, written in the hand of Captain Francis Crozier and the then-Junior Ice Master of the HMS Erebus Genevieve Sinclair, who records indicate he would later marry in his hometown of Banbridge Ireland in 1852. The letters, sealed in an air-tight capsule similar to that of the Victory Point note later discovered in 1859 which confirmed their retelling of events upon their return to England in 1851, display a forthright nature between the couple, and indicate the early affection displayed between the two shipmates who would soon become lovers in spite of their horrific and tragic circumstances. Sinclair's writings in particular hold a specific interest to many Franklin Expedition scholars, as few of her records from the expedition exist from her return to England, but these documents indicate not only a sharp mind for the task she was appointed to the expedition for, but as well as a measure of wit that no doubt kept warm the flame of affection between her and her Captain in the constant chill during their 5 year long residence in the polar regions.

Is anybody else completely fucked up over the fact that even though Crozier sent Blanky outside after getting in that terrible argument where Crozier was definitely wrong, and Blanky ended up narrowly surviving the Tuunbaq, and the fact that he required an amputation because of this encounter is why he is doomed to die by gangrene, and yet, you can tell he's pretty much forgiven Crozier and still loves him more than anything? Blanky nearly killed his captain on a previous expedition and warned Crozier well before Crozier sent him outside that the same could happen to him if circumstances become dire enough. Crozier had no way of knowing the Tuunbaq would attack at that moment, but it still would have been a distinct possibility.

I think on some level Blanky knew that alcohol was enabling Crozier to be a terrible person, but he still seems pretty quick to let bygones be bygones. Though given the circumstances, division and conflict are the last thing they need. They're wise enough to know that.

What absolutely kills me about Blanky's ending, badass though it may be, is that Crozier knows full well that if it weren't for that night when they fought over banishing Silna and abandoning her (with Crozier definitely in the wrong), Blanky would probably have stood a solid chance of survival. If not for the gangrene, he'd be on the much healthier side of the crew, but he has a level of self awareness that a lot of the younger man don't possess. Just one more thing for Crozier to feel overwhelming guilt about. There's such a feeling of being lost that comes with the sturdiest and most capable of your men telling you he's going to die, and how he wants it to happen.

"At least love me enough to admit it" just breaks my heart. Blanky wants to be blithe and irreverent but he knows this is the worst possible time, he knows this will weigh on Crozier, as much as he wishes Crozier could be alright with it. They're at Fitzjames' funeral for god's sake. So Blanky softens the blow with a hug.

Edit: all of you guys, your tags are incredible and I love reading them

Sorry if this is incoherent sshsgdgd I fucking love these guys

Ada has that victorian boy with tuberculosis swag about her.

So here's where things get a little funky. There are canon deviations and they will only get worse as the story goes on. I do not subscribe to the idea that seasons 3 & 4 exist, they will be removed entirely and a better story will take their place.

If she's honest, she doesn't want to be here.

Playing dress up with her uncle.

But we've been here already.

Already been worn down by petty manipulations.

Already lamented her arrival in the Westworld park.

That was nearly seven years ago, and here she is again, this time at the behest of her aunt.
