The Airship "Norge's" Flight Over the Arctic Ocean (1926)
#polar exploration#roald amundsen#lincoln ellsworth#norge expedition#my screencaps#1920s films#polar#this was good quality & airships are incredible but I mostly enjoyed this to find out that the pilot who Amundsen spends 100 pages of#his own autobiography bitching about#(who Amundsen later died over the Arctic trying to rescue when he crashed his next airship)#was a really weaselly-looking fellow#goddamn it I wrote the year wrong and this got notes. sorry amundsen

reason #592 why Carver is my favorite companion in da2: All companions have 2-4 different lines of dialogue they can potentially say if Hawke falls in battle, but Carver has 5 and they're just-
#'carver hates hawke-' bitch where#he's an ass who can lash out and say stupid things but he loves his siblings even when they hurt him or break his heart#and i stand firm that not bringing him on the deep roads expedition *does* break his heart#even at max rivalry on the templar path he still cares about hawke he's just now living with the mistake he made#when his judgement was clouded by hurt and his situation was desperate and he's now trying to lay in the bed he made the best he can#also chantry bullshit trying to brainwash him... can't forget that fun little nugget#anyway i love him. he's my favorite companion and yes it's very unfortunate for me given i spend most of the game missing him sksks#but i manage to max out his friendship and put him on the warden path every time so he's great to bring on dlcs#da2#dragon age 2#carver hawke

Καλή χελώνα.
ROLLING..
⚀⚀
VERTEBRAE [Medium - Failure]
Words failed to come out your mouth, leaving such a tearful terror on your face. You know them, the most fundamental part of this Harry system. If it shows this much faults, that's very bad news,boy.
CONSCIOUS [Trivial- Success]
Perhaps it's a cry for help? They would have spoken longer if they could. But they didn't.
VEINS [Legendary - Failure]
Your tongue clicked, but lips locked in place. Blood level dropped, pale expression. You're hopeless now. Shaking and trembling is all you can do.
LINGUA FRANCA [Easy- Failure]
You can't even mutter a single word that you use so sophisticatedly before. What is wrong with you? Isn't it part of your pride? Our honor is tainted, tuanku!
MASKING [Heroic- Failure]
Maybe if we pretend we're a box, they won't notice our presence and leave us alone? Just a thought. This pressure won't be good to put on stage,dear.
IDENTITY [Medium- Success ]
Calm down. We still have time. We can fix this surely. We just have to focus on the problem. The damage is done already. No use to fixate on it. Just leave the place, maybe face down so the guilt is less.
1. [INSTINCT - Medium 10] Leave the scene undetected. (RED CHECK)
-1 this whole mess is because of your research.
-2 the skills unable to communicate properly
+1 have some clues on the expedition
MODERATE - 42%
ROLLING..
⚅⚄
INSTINCT [Medium-success]
Your tiny limbs move before they can land their eyes on you. Luckily they were too stunted to catch on your escape.
MAGIKA
Away,away from everyone right now. Just find the whale. The whale is the cure. The whale.
#whales expedition#skillposting#i think#ooc: trying new things cause i got inspired#special thanks to bookkeeper for helping me out#youre the realest one 💥#hope at least it readible 🙏

my brain: numb from a combo of chronic fatigue and adhd boredom, so much that idle pastimes are a chore atm
me, frustrated with myself: ok fine we're doing something small and fun, like i'm kicking an old tv. I know, a fun, short fanvid of Gwaine. Remember, keep it stupid-simple. Nothing fancy.
my brain: ok I hear you. But.
me: oh god. no.
my brain: what if
me: no. no 'what if'. put that back.
my brain: what if we make it a longer fanvid, and
me: nope. stop it.
my brain: do this and this and this, some of which you don't know the skills for yet, to match the aesthetic of the song, make it visually fun too, and you want to do the character justice--
me: ffs
my brain: it's gonna be three times the work--
me: WHAT HAPPENED TO KEEP IT STUPID-SIMPLE!!???
my brain: sorry, I only know "keep it stupid-and-unnecessarily-complicated"
#why do I keep doing this to myself#i'm trying to help myself NOT burn out#not expedite the process#my teacher was overseeing my work one day and was like “you don't have to do all this. this is more than enough. keep it simple”#and I had to explain that it takes me more effort to simplify it. i don't know any other way to be (translation: help me out here LOL)#pyjamacryptid edits#ren rambles#neurodivergent tag#spoon tag

I may be dumb, but, how does the gangline work? Do you have different sizes for different numbers of dogs? What happens if you need to take a dog off the gangline, and keep mushing, but then you have extra gangline? Where does the extra gangline go?
So ganglines come in various configurations. Some are modular (like my 4 dog line that i use when running all three dogs) and others are not (like my two dog line I use for running only two dogs).
Let's take a look at my gangline:
I've chosen mostly snowy pictures because they provide the easiest view at the line. Above is my typical set up with Sigurd in wheel (the back) and Zombie and Slash in lead (the front). The main part of the line which all other parts branch off from is called the towline/gangline (often used interchangably). This is the black thicker rope of my set up. The tuglines (which attach the dog to the towline) and necklines are red to help distinguish this when packing ganglines away (I had this one custom made with these specific colors and dimensions (longer wheel dog section to acomodate the fact I don't use a bungee and provide more stopping room between the sled/rig and the wheel dogs.
Here's a look from the musher's persepctive:
(sorry for blurry quality, I'm running on video screenshots here...) you can see that the team looks a bit uneven here because usually you'd have four dogs on a line like this. What's nice about modular lines is that i can simple take the unused line off when not in use (they use knots and loops to attach).
Here's a more typical set up using the same gangline:
You can also see the distinguishing colors pretty good here! Again, I have taken one of the lead dog tugline sections off and attached a wheel dog section to the back (in my gangline they are different lengths, but most are all the same length).
Here's one more photo with a good look at the modular gangline:
So some ganglines AREN'T Modular. This means that you cannot switch dogs around on the same line. My single dog and two dog lines are like this:
It's hard to see here but the two dog line is attached as one unit and you cannot separate the two tug lines from each other (a two dog line from Affordable Dog Sleds is pictured with a bungee below, the bungee is black and the two dog section is red and black):
A huge majority of ganglines are made from polyethylene rope which is strong and durable, while also being able to be cut in an emergency situation. Some mushers also like cable filled lines to stop chewing. Another non modular type of line is a nylon line, such as the Howling Dog Alaska Skijor lines with built in bungees (although I have not had much luck with their durability from a malamute strength perspective):
A huge majority of the time I run with either a backpack that faces towards me on the rig or if I'm on the sled a sled bag so I can easily put items in it such as extra lines, leashes, ratchet straps and quick releases. I am also lucky enough to have gotten a Fjallraven Nuk parka last year that has TONS of pockets. Lines don't take up a lot of space!
With the situation on Sunday my husband simple took Sigurd home and then caught back up with me. Simple stuff.
#dogblr#faq#dog gear#dog sledding#ganglines#if we're out on a expedition trail and a dog needs to be taken off the line we'll just leash them and have somebody walk them back#while the rig is pulled by the other two#but that's very very rare#and sigurd is also less motivated when running on our road and not with a partner#which was not helping sunday's situation#we were trying to run him single so i could focus on some command and distraction stuff with slash and zombie#and he was like. nah

anyways. having fun with the album project thing I mentioned. Using the flat small brush from here for krita. One brush only, no undo button, all done on 1/54th of a 1.5k x 1k canvas. it's actually pretty therapeutic, I listen to the album I'm drawing while I draw it. This does mean that for AM I got to like. track 2 though and most of that was bc of formatting issues lol.
#vent in tags though bc i need. somewhere that isn't yet another 4:30 am vent google doc. too many of those and they're not helping#i don't want to talk but i don't want to be fully alone right now but i can't just spring this on someone in dms either so . tags it is#tw death. like really not a fun time over on torchickentacos dot tumblr dot com right now. genuine warning here#but i'm not doing well and i need this right now. anyways told my therapist i feel like i should be more okay right now than I am#and he was like. you. think you should be MORE okay after someone you knew died?#like. ah. hm. i see. now. how that might not be rational thinking.#i mean in my brain it was like. okay we're approaching day three and i haven't reached back out to my other irls#and i'm awake at 4 am#and i feel like need to pull it together because other people need me for stuff#and like. this happened before but harder. i should KNOW that there's no way to expedite this#because unfortunately I've been through this before!!! people make that choice to leave and it sucks and that's that!#like i KNOW how hard this is especially since it's a very personal topic.#but i'm still trying to rush myself here#it stresses me out to think that I'm not there enough for myself to be there for other people right now#sigh. i wonder how much of it's because i feel like i should have been there for those friends more even though it's irrational.#because that's genuinely not how it fucking works and I KNOW THAT PERSONALLY yet I still put that on myself.#people can have all the support they need and still choose to not take it. and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.#well. tomorrow i return to socializing and being a human person again#little bit at a time.

idk if anyone has done this before but da2 au where you think at first its a both twins lived au and then find out bethany died and thats actually non-warden amell posing as her. something something escaped with jowan maybe, found her relatives in lothering, sought refuge with them and when bethany ended up dying it was way lower profile for amell to take the place of her cousin than try to get in to kirkwall with them as a non-immediate family member (especially given that leandra is publicly coming in as an amell and theres a resemblance and its known revka had mage kids taken to the circle and im sure theres a bulletin out or whatever for an escaped apostate matching amells description). points if people comment on how ‘bethany’ clearly takes after her mother. leandra is not normal about it. aveline knew the real bethany at least in passing bc of living in the same town and treats this as a reason for her distrust of hawke and co and one of the reason she sabotages carvers application with the guard.
#gamlen has fights with leandra about it and both of them are uncomfortable with the situation in their own ways#if amell ends up recaptured and taken to the gallows cullen is obviously a massive threat to her#im thinking ignore the dai retcons of his character and actually yknow. look at what his creepy dao characterization and position in the#kirkwall templars would reasonably amount to in a person and have him threaten that he can have her exposed as amell instead of bethany any#time he feels like it (and thus get her made tranquil or executed) so its up to her to try to make sure he doesnt feel like it#by doing whatever he wants her to. this is actually slightly more cunning than you would expect out of this guy but he has plenty of#other kirkwall templars to ape this particular kind of plan/behavior from. it would fit really well with a bunch of the canon stuff we see.#and much in the same way that the bethany you end up with as a non-mage hawke is fundamentally a different character than the bethany that#had another mage sibling to grow up with and thus was not as isolated and in a position to blame herself for#i think an amell that ends up in this situation is not the star student of the first enchanter. i mean she couldnt fight well enough to#affect the ogre or heal well enough to save the real bethany. and she wasnt brought on the expedition despite not having leandra's 'leave#your baby sister out of this dangerous trip' happening bc as weird as leandras relationship to a#amell is its still one where if amell could be doing something to try to prove herself useful to the family she would#if she was straight up escaping kinloch with jowan i think she had reason to believe she was more unsafe than usual in the circle#and lacked the 'safety net' of the first enchanter giving a shit about her. so. probably at risk from cullen. hah wow this is a much darker#au than i first anticipated which given the initial concept is 'emotional problems from posing as her dead cousin' centric says something

not to be miserable on main but I miss my brain so so so so so much like it's obviously still working it's clearly still there and for some reason still holding on better than I thought it'd at this point and it's still not quiet or bored or anything?? But two years ago (before I got sick ™) I could still play literally entire movies in my head beat by beat just by zoning out, I could recall entire book chapters upon request repeat practically everything I had processed and now I'm lucky if I can finish the lyrics of a song I'm listening to.
my friends are always trying to cheer me up as much as they can praising me and whatnot and I appreciate it immensely but it's impossible for them to get it. It's not that I think myself inferior just bc or that I suddenly am undeserving of the same praises. They never lived inside of it. They never felt how alive my mind was after I woke up, how I legit didn't have the ability to even feel alone bc of the speed it worked at. I never even bothered working to express what I was thinking. I didn't have to make an effort to structure or formalize conceptual nebulae bc the transition simply happened. Everything simply was. Nothing ever didn't make sense. And I'm never getting that back
#idk how to tw this.. pls ask to tag#they were so quick to notice the slightest change of my overall mood. and still are#but idk if they are trying hard not to see this or they just want to somehow expedite my mourning process lol#cognitive decline#perhaps???????#my main regret is wasting what little time i had to speedrun learning in fucking school lol should've trusted my gut n focused on#getting languages out while i could#had i started when i meant to I'd be on my third possibly starting a fourth...

toby's fucking grandmother.
#trollhunters tag#THEY fucked#marguerite was like... a triple spy too so someone def broke someone's heart during it all#anyway. i have my lil cracky headcanons abt strickler/nancy during the spy days and this just makes it ??? worse??? better??? idk#but bc i place him in some ww1 shenanigans i feel like if i ALSO place him on the plateau innnn the '20s-ish#marguerite would recognize him and i cant tell if that's more fun or less#also marguerite is ... very much a scalie and if she sees strickler's troll form she's gonna wanna jump his bones hMMmmM#they probs think strickler's w the reptile ppl at first bc Green#when no he's just there trying to get a hold of some ancient evil artifact nbd#nomura might also be there bc theyre like racing to find something before the other can and theyre the#resident history bitch changelings#ij ust want marguerite to out-manipulate strickler and/or fuck him and/or fuck nomura#and then probably have another PTSD Cave experience forcing her to remember stuff that happened with nancy#like what happened in PTSD Cave Episode Number 17 with that canon girl form her past whose name i cant remember#strickler also would probs have ties to roxton's family actually#and maaaaaybe funded some of challenger's past expeditions#i think summerlee is a weird father figure to nomura but she wont admit it#etc#oHH MAYBEEEE :| maybe strickler was part of veronica's fam's expedition and he's kinda responsible. for what happened there.#or he tried to sabotage some stuff at leasttttt#:') lol#J;LDSF;LKJSFLKSDJFLKSD WAIT IM A FUCKING /FOOL/ MARGUEIRTE IS MORRIGAN RIGHT#ik there is no real tie between the morrigan and morgan le fay but lost world would be the place to mix them up#so maybe strickler is literally there trying to find morrigan as a vessel for morgana#BECAUSE. VERONICA'S PARENTS ARE IN AVALON RIGHT. AND THERE'S A CONNECTION W THAT AND MARGUERITE.#iu cant REMEMVER the connection but if it wasnt significant then maybe veronica is supposed to be the vessel???#hhfj;lkjsldj im in hell#i think . they might after be veronica considering her lineage but whatever happens i think#the lost world fam would get some clue to where veronica's parents are#so it has some purpose for them
