happily presenting to you our collab piece with @ecstandsforerraticcowboy :3

the babies separately are below

absolutely love them they're my everything and i'm happy we eventually managed to finish this

something i NEED more international terror fans to be aware of is how fucking wild it is to watch the terror as a Tasmanian. [if you dont recall, John Franklin was a former governed of tasmania, and he is NOT remembered fondly.]

imagine my friends and I’s surprise when we find out the show we are watching features OUR FORMER GOVERNER whom EVERYONE HATES not only as a prominent character but also as someone who dies horribly. they never really talk about how he dies in school, only mention he went mission to the arctic and never came back.

being a Tasmanian terror fan feels fucking insane we have public parks named after this chucklefuck. I walk past his birdshit covered statue almost every day. My mother was conceived on those grounds [premaritally]. my mates and I have all gotten sloshed & stoned there. Just earlier tonight i was holding in puke next to his stupid fucking monument. people will put dish soap in the fountain there to make it bubble and foam and overflow like crazy as a prank. youd go there to skip school.

We’ve all got such a long, complicated history with this historical figure and his shadow is still prominent over the land we live on today. and we watch a show and hes just THERE. When he died we all cheered

Some sort of a western au :)

[dogeared-euclid]

btw i choose to believe that both cuts of episode 1 are canon and crozier just made the same joke with both blanky and jopson because he thought it was so funny. he tested it on blanky and then used it on jopson

Misc. letter snippets simply for the handwriting/old doodle lovers like me c.1829-1882, written by John’s family & friends

[All directed towards Henry Cadell, apart from Malcolm’s who was for Miss Elphinstone]

Catherine (Cadell) Irving, aka John's sister-in-law Katie;

Catherine's letters to her brother affirm John's thinking of her as a caring person, (and also show that they both called Lewis the same nickname!) Speaking of…

Lewis Hay Irving, aka John's brother Lewie;

Not even going to attempt to transcribe this right now. This is as best as his handwriting gets! (Ft. reciprocated nicknames, doodles, and some random maths)

[A young William Elphinstone Malcolm?], aka John's friend I am sure you are all familiar with, Elphie (1829);

Baby drawings!!! 🐴 I took these photos a few months back specifically for these drawings and didn’t realise that they seem to be Malcolm’s himself until @parhelios pointed it out! Progress with writing, school, holiday songs (,wine, and cake), that line at the end: "your letter smells beautiful" — adorable.

Alexander Irving, aka John's other brother, regarding his funeral;

55 Great King Street

Edinburgh. 5 January 1881.

My dear Sir [Henry Cadell],

The reinterment of the remains of my brother Lieut. John Irving, R.N. will take place at the Dean Cemetery on Friday first. The funeral, which will be with naval honours, will leave 55 Great King Street at 1 p.m. but I shall be glad if you can be present at a short service in the house there at 12:30.

Yours very truly

[Alexander Irving]*

* = though this one may be a bit of a cheat, since the handwriting seems different than signature, meaning another person probably wrote numerous invitations like this and only his signature is in his own handwriting? Regardless, it deserves a place here for the content alone.

John Irving, aka (our) John's nephew;

(Ft. some machinery plans and his dad's inherited sloppy handwriting.)

I keep thinking that Silna had mom once, too. Here they are.

[dogeared-euclid]

Thinking a lot of about when and where the cold boys listen to their modern day playlists. I reckon Irving does yoga. He's big on self improvement. Hopefully it brings him calm.

He forgot his hat dumb dumb idiot

✨FLASH COMMISSIONS!!✨

I needed emergency new glasses, unfortunately with my poor eyesight (-6.0 + astigmatism… 😭) it was an unplanned £180 I had to spend on the spot…

I'm offering 2 commissions at a flat rate of £75 to recuperate at least some of the costs, any help would be really appreciated - even just signal boosting goes a long way!! 🙏

You can find me on ko-fi if you'd like to throw some spare change into the pot instead, it would be very much appreciated 🥺💖

I have more art examples in my art tag, please feel free to DM if you have any questions and/or would like to grab one of the commission spots!

Sometimes when I feel bad I start calling terror characters with the czech versions of their names and i feel better.
