those “titanic actually sank on a moonless night so you wouldn’t have been able to see anything unlike the movie where everything’s all lit up” complaints are why you can’t see shit in tv shows and movies these days. hope you’re enjoying your realism Mr cinema sins

I need to practise more, I used to be so good at drawing I messed up his shoes which is why it's cropped XD but for a 2 min sketch I guess it works

I'm sure it was a very nice poem too...

Ada Banks: Valentine’s day is just a consumerist holiday that holds no real value other than to drive people insane buying heart shaped chocolates for their significant others and pos-

William Murdoch: I wrote you a poem.

Ada Banks, already crying: You did?

Lights Coded

Sylvia Lightoller: Are you ready to commit?

Charles Lightoller: Like, a crime or a relationship?

Titanic Incorrect Quotes...

So they're not my regular thing, but a year or two back in a group someone started a whole round of these, here's a few.

Charles Lightoller: You know you've made it when you see your picture everywhere you go.

William Murdoch: Those are wanted posters!

Researching historical figures is so interesting...

But occasionally, you discover something that just makes you want to cry in a corner (in a good way)

Now to keep pulling at these threads....

As gruelling a film Titanic seems to have been...

I'm super glad the cast seem to have had a great time & made lifelong friends. I stumbled on this picture out of context looking for something else and had to do some digging.

Apparently, Frances Fisher and Edward Fletcher became BFFs during filming and used to hang out a lot, so they went as each other's plus one to events when they need one. That's so cute awww 🥰🥰🥰

The way "Hard to Starboard" is just "Take Her to Sea" in a minor (visual) Key... 🥲

People saying Ewan Stewart in the '97 film doesn't look like real Murdoch...

Me: Told you.

[true-heart-titanic]

Because people keep saying it. Was he a 100% doppelganger? No, but close enough. I'm happy to sacrifice a bit of physical resemblance for the phenomenal acting we got (even if the script was a bit ehhhhhhh)

Titanic Thoughts

The kind that keeps me awake at night...

I do think if that no1 davit falls, that it should be brought up, but not until/if then Imagine if it's one of the last things standing on the wreck, even if the decks do collapse down I think it would be kind of fitting if it is one of the last recognisable things to remain. Stayed 'til the end like the officer who used it last…

[true-heart-titanic]

If Titanic officers had Twitter...

ok I know it's called X now, but come on, alliteration...

Just a silly thing I made ages ago and never posted 🤣

My phone died so I'm a day late, but...

February 28th was Murdoch's birthday.

Of course my brain runs to the fact he was on a voyage during Feb 1903, the same one where he met his wife. And naturally I then wonder if she knew it was his birthday after 2 weeks and if so, did she give him a note or a little gift? 🥹

runs off to AO3

Photo is from the Murdoch/Webley family & colourised by me

I am not ok, they did it again... 😭

It's not fact, guys. Witnesses also said it did not happen, so why do we only ever get shown one version of events?? Just once I would like him to get the hero edit. But no, sensationalism wins out yet again 🤦🏻‍♀️

Me when they showed that scene for the thousandth time:
