About me

🌹 Name: Rosie

💀 Age: “ELDER MILLENNIAL” 🤘🏼😬

🌍 Location: 🇬🇧/🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

🧚🏼‍♀️ What’s going on for me: Happily married, working in the mental health sector, raising two kids.

🎭 Hobbies/interests: takes a deep breath before oversharing… Rollerskating, spending time with friends and family, going to the pub/on nights out. Body art and piercings. Writing (mostly smut with excessive purple prose tbh). Polar exploration. The Franklin Expedition/The Terror. Medieval history and the 18th century. The Donner Party. Cannibalism in extremis. The Danse Macabre/Momento Mori art movement. Horror, folk horror. Fantasy. Classic lit. Gothic lit. Trashy horror paperbacks from the 70s and 80s. Frank Frazetta. Jim Henson. Clowns. Horses. Dinosaurs. Birds. Orcas. Happiest walking in the graveyard, by the sea, or on the moors. All types of music - currently on a folk music kick, while also defending my 0.05% top listeners of The Smiths position on Spotify.

📝 Currently working on: The last part of my FitzFranklin series on AO3, as well as several other WIPs. I came back to Tumblr specifically to join in with The Terror fandom after jumping ship to Discord in about 2019.

🤡 3 fun facts about me: I’ve been to 18/50 US states, I’ve met Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen, I cried when I went to the Greenwich Maritime Museum in 2019 and scared my friend.

🌸 Aesthetic: Betty Boop meets Dolly Parton, with a dash of Hellraiser cenobites. Been compared to both Helena Bonham Carter and Brittany Murphy quite a bit.

♥️ Feel free to stop by and say hi! ♥️

Crozier wanted to live. It was that simple. He was determined to live.

He was going to survive this bad patch in the face of all odds and gods dictating that he would not and could not.

Sir John Franklin’s civil court dress coat 1837

Civil court dress coat belonging to arctic explorer Sir John Franklin (1786–1847), worn while Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania). Double-breasted tailcoat of blue wool with ten silver buttons arranged in pairs. The sleeves are gathered at the shoulders and terminate in a mariner’s cuff of red wool, embroidered in silver with a strip above of acorns and oak leaves. The slash is of blue wool, heavily embroidered with acorns and oak leaves and has three small silver buttons of the above pattern. The coat is entirely lined with cream silk twill. The collar is interlined and quilted in a guilloche pattern. The yoke and breast are padded and quilted in a series of lines and arcs. There is a central back vent and the tails are edged with white wool to give the effect of a turn back. There are two badges at the base of the tails, both on a ground of red wool. They are embroidered in silver thread and feature a crossed sword and baton on a silver ground circled by laurel leaves, and, below, a crown of red velvet and gold and silver embroidery. The pocket bags are of white linen and are accessed thorough the non-working sword pleats.
