i put all my best brain worms into this at 7 in the am on no sleep instead of writing an essay due in two days. so

House 5.24, "Both Sides Now"

i'm so glad the universe of house md doesn't exist in real life because just imagine you're a patient literally dying and your doctor somewhere in this fcking hospital tells his boy best friend that he won't treat you until this boy best friend stops waving his resignation letters

what's your favorite terra nova fact/story that you haven't had the chance to talk about?

anton and oates..............

anton omelchenko was the ukrainian (referred to as russian) groom hired by meares to be oates's assistant and help take care of the ponies. he was 27, only 4'11" but "exceedingly strong" according to cherry.

and though he strongly disliked the conditions in antarctica he was very loyal to oates — scott described him as oates's "satellite":

and teddy described a deep bond between them:

as did gran:

he was very superstitious and did NOT like it in antarctica so he left as soon as he could:

(from wojo)

but he enjoyed himself well enough at midwinter, demonstrating his famous solo russian dancing as well as being oates's dancing partner:

(from scott and deb's diaries respectively)

and ok i feel like there's one more really good anecdote about anton (and oates?) from... priestley i think?? but i CANNOT FIND IT or remember enough about it to hunt it down so if anyone knows wtf i'm talking about lmk.

anyway. THEY WERE CUTE 👍

THE TERROR ▸ 1.09 the c, the c, the open c

what if instead of visiting some more boring museums and drinking coffee in the small streets of old european cities we went to the antarctic next time??????

even when you're hanging between the rails,

even when you're being dragged along the ocean floor,

always remember that behind every door

someone is waiting for you with hope and wine.

scientists basically invented love you know

the more i think about "how i do miss you - i cannot bear going on board erebus" the more insane and sick i get

first you decide to rewatch stupid lil tv series then you find yourself at five in the morning reading books/letters/articles about antarctic expedition instead of preparing for your thesis defense
