Then, too, at sea—to use a homely but expressive phrase—you miss a man so much. A dozen men are shut up together in a little bark, upon the wide, wide sea, and for months and months see no forms and hear no voices but their own, and one is taken suddenly from among them, and they miss him at every turn. It is like losing a limb. There are no new faces or new scenes to fill up the gap. There is always an empty berth in the forecastle, and one man wanting when the small night watch is mustered. There is one less to take up the wheel, and one less to lay out with you upon the yard. You miss his form, and the sound of his voice, for habit had made them almost necessary to you, and each of your senses feels the loss.
—a sailor's diary entry, on losing a shipmate, ca. 1834 (from Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana Jr.)

I can't be the first person to make this observation, but it's just struck me that Captain Ahab from Moby-Dick and Thomas Blanky from The Terror represent the opposite ends of a spectrum—"How well do you cope with losing your leg to a huge white beast that destroys hubristic seafaring men?"

I hate when you see a porn bot with a really good url. I just got one called 'prescribed-broadside.' The doctor says you're sick and the only cure is my fucking canon. Beat to quarters.

HELLWHALERS is out there!
Just wanted to give a reminder to folks that the TTRPG that my team and I spent a lot of time with @boguscheesecake writing, and creating exists. HELLWHALERS released November 30th, and you can still get physical editions through PlusOneExp at ttrpg.link/hellyeah and digital copies on the Brewist Tabletop Itch page. Right now we're having some hiccups with digital copies for physical orders, but I'll square those manually if anyone emails me about it at
[email protected].
I realized I hadn't made an official Tumblr announcement, but please pick it up if you're into religious horror, nautical horror, Moby Dick, Paradise Lost, The Divine Comedy, Dredge, Mastodon's album Leviathan, or anything in those veins.
HELLWHALERS is a token based TTRPG of nautical and Christian-religious horror. Play as damned whalers hunting a leviathan whale across hell's oceans for a chance to earn salvation. This book is visually stunning, and really fun for horror fans. Our team put a lot into this game, and we'd love it if you checked it out! There's also a great essay by @monsterfactoryfanfic about the game. Check out that essay here, and Aaron's other work as well!
See you in hell, sailor!
