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.
