Staring new week with reading about Charles Darwin’s life & voyage on HMS Beagle -

(Which immediately persuaded me to book tickets for a family trip to Down House, Kent !)

Robert FitzRoy  – Scientist of the Day

In February of 1835, Charles Darwin was in the third year of his voyage on HMS Beagle.

Fitzroy appears for like less than half of Leviathan (Book 1) and the whole fandom collectively is like fuck that guy in particular

Things Robert FitzRoy, captain of HMS Beagle, wrote in letters to Charles Darwin:

(During the voyage of the Beagle, while Darwin was away from the ship exploring the interior of South America.)

I think of you every time the ship pitches, which is every few seconds

Are you dead? No wait you can't be dead I just got a letter from you

Come back and look at these crazy fossils I found! [gives a wildly exaggerated/physically impossible description of these alleged fossils]

Did you get my apology letter?* I promise to get my shit together

"Est avis in navibus Carlos rarissima Darwin" Charles Darwin is the rarest of birds aboard ship

Our friend's wife died but idk why he's sad, surely no one actually wants to be married to a woman

Come back I'll send you a boat I'll send you a boat literally whenever just please come back soon

Remember that guy you stole bones with??**

Here is two paragraphs of the imaginary conversation I'm having with you right now

Haha I didn't mean that I'm actually DRUNK ON TEA

At least you're not THAT far away I GUESS

PS I wish I could be excited about your adventures but I just wish you were here and I'm worried you'll get hurt

* The apology letter is lost. What was he apologising for? I guess we'll never know. ** FitzRoy gives no name but I MUST KNOW who stole bones with Charles Darwin, please lmk if you have a clue

what if we spent every evening together on a tiny ship thousands of miles from home and developed a profound attachment to one another as each other’s only true companions and wrote letters full of tender yearning every time we were apart and supported each other’s scientific minds until we got back to England and it all fell apart and then you used the data from the voyage to uncover some existentially horrifying science facts which drove us even further apart and by the time we learned how to love each other as flawed human beings beyond our mutual youthful hero-worship I was already dead

I’m js what if we kissed on the second voyage of HMS Beagle

hahaha jk… unless…

[beaglefanblog]

not me taking the Oxford comma out of my fic title because it suddenly felt too modern and too American

Anyway, new chapter just dropped of my Voyage of the Beagle fanfiction. Recommend that you read! Has received only good reviews! We're woobifying the inventor of the weather forecast and shipping him with evolution boy and it's a great* time :) :) * poignant and tragic

What if we kissed on the second voyage of HMS Beagle

(I still very much think Darwin and the captain were fucking)

(Also I love a big guy/little guy couple and I have brain worms about the idea of FitzRoy Being Held because lbr he deserved it)
