I realised that there are a lot of people who do not know they can name their phone. If you have, however, named your phone, reblog with what you've named it in the tags. I'm curious.

On Franklin expedition letter book "May We Be Spared to Meet on Earth"

Brig HMS Earl of Moira Hotly Engaged, by Peter Rindlisbacher.

The ship in this War of 1812 naval battle, HMS Earl of Moira (also called HMS Moira), is named after the same person, Francis Edward Rawdon-Hastings, 1st Marquess of Hastings, as Francis Rawdon Moira Crozier! (Who was later captain of HMS Terror, a ship that saw action in several famous War of 1812 battles).

HMS Moira was built at the Kingston Royal Naval Dockyard, a Royal Navy base on Lake Ontario.

About the event

The Frussy Gazette is an event created to celebrate Francis Crozier, and to show him a bloody good time. The Terror fandom is an incredibly horny space, and we want to enable folks and unleash that horniness on the grumpy captain - therefore this event is strictly NSFW.

The event will run 11-17th October 2022. If you’d like your works to be included in the printable gazette, please kindly submit them by end of day on the 17th. You can read the rules and look through the FAQ for more information about the event. There are also prompts which you can use as inspiration for your works, but they are not mandatory.

Information on how to download the PDF will be available closer to the date of publication (17th of November). The PDF will be available to everyone for free. If you’d like to throw in a tip for getting a copy, please consider donating to Polar Bears International to help with conservation efforts and to support educating the public about climate change in the Arctic.

The main organizer of The Frussy Gazette is @brainyraccoons.

Dreamy sigh... I love that old man

that shot of crozier with his hands on his head in complete despair after putting down fitzjames. yeah.

Bitches will see a chubby middle-aged ginger man with dead eyes morbing and sniping at the dinner table and be like: there he is. The love of my life.

It's me and James Fitzjames. We're bitches.

cannot believe the rest of the world simply slogs along without access to the neenish tart. shout out to australia, new zealand and the falkland islands for maintaining the legacy of the neenish tart

Been thinking about Francis' middle names a lot lately for absolutely no reason

Don't forget. "Tops" are essential workers. So are 19th century Arctic explorers from the Discovery Service. You may not think these are mutually exclusive.

It’s good to be sexually obsessed with a chubby older man. Healthy, even.

ok francis rawdon moira crozier post: everyone’s always (rightly) repeating the “irish and middle born” line but i really don’t see talk about it beyond that — except maybe having him spit some irish gaelic while he fucks fitzjames in a fic, and i guarantee you that man would not have been a fluent irish speaker (see: efforts from both the english and from irish communities to prevent people from speaking irish). and as part of that i’d like to see more discussion of francis’ betrayal of who he is and where he comes from.

he is irish. the famine has just begun. he spends his life attempting to rise through the ranks of, to be a successful arm of, the empire that has ensured his status as a second class citizen, his inability to speak his ancestral language, the genocide of his countrymen. francis has his assertive personality and his vocal objections and his challenges, but ultimately he’s betrayed the very essence of who he is and only does it further upon destroying himself with alcohol — because to the empire, what else would an irishman do?

and he has so little genuine self awareness about it. deep inside himself, in his subconscious, i’m sure he knows. but he could never begin to Truly know it within the conscious or to actually vocalize it. bc how do you even begin to acknowledge or make sense of this about your ENTIRE LIFE?

and ofc this parallels with james and with hickey. pretending to be something you’re not, betraying the very essence of what you are. hiding. he doesn’t know it but THAT is the basis of his initial resentment of those two: they’re betraying themselves.

because to him, at first, hickey is an irishman who has so fully committed to the betrayal he won’t even speak in a way that implies his origin. hickey thinks this double deception makes them comrades, but in reality, would francis really have had hickey punished As A Boy if not for their first exchange? would hickey have mocked francis’ irishness from the gallows if not for the failure of that disguise, this betrayal of a perceived countryman?

the full extent of james’ betrayal is hidden to francis until the cairn but he still sees it, and he sees himself in it. the obedience, the obsequience, the ambition, the admiration, (the queerness,)

so when james confesses his bastardry, his non englishness, his deception, even if francis did not now love him, how could he ever hold it against him? he’s done worse.

and, perhaps most significantly, paralleling that with silna. francis helping the empire to colonize and imperialize other places as ireland was. silna avoiding and almost rejecting her duty for nearly the entirety of the show, seeking shelter with and in some cases allying with the interlopers she despises and who have ruined her life. Tuunbaq Is Dead.

I believe in my soul that every single person on those ships desired Francis Rawdon Moira Crozier carnally even Sir John. Only people who didn't were Blanky because he'd been there done that and knew how aggressively mediocre old man whiskey dick could be and Silna because she was too busy having her entire life implode twice a week for three years
