I love you so, I'll eat you whole

antarctic exploration is so funny because you read about the endurance expedition and it’s a zany adventure with a lovable stowaway and trials and tribulations that show the indomitable nature of the human spirit without a single man lost and it ends in a thematically resonant and meaningful way with a fitting and beautiful conclusion and then you get to the belgica and the crew are running away constantly, they frame the cook for his own beatdown and get him fired, the beloved moral-boosting chipper ships boy literally falls off of the boat and drowns before they even GET to antarctica, the commandant and the captain are deliberately freezing the ship in ice to protect their beautiful belgian honor, they’re constantly falling into crevasses, and the ships pet penguin dies in what i cannot stress enough is the most narratively ominous and portentous circumstance on the morning of their imprisonment in the ice. the doctor was literally imprisoned for fraud.
if my dog turned out to be a horrifying ancient murderous shapeshifting alien creature I would simply love and treasure them for who they really are. sorry about the carnage I guess but I'm different
I would like to take a moment to appreciate Miles's huge Spidey eyes
They take up so much of his face, I love them so much
I think in a modern scenario the Hickeygibson dynamic is just, like,
Billy's insane 20 part TikTok saga about how he dated this guy and found out he was lying about his entire identity. Name, nationality, job experience, criminal background. It just gets increasingly more bizarre and wild and people in the comments are HOOKED like 'oh my god this should be a Netflix documentary', 'you were dating a serial killer fr' etc, and then at the end of the series he's like 'to everyone telling me to report him to the police, I appreciate the concern but we're actually married now 🥰 so it's fine'
Then you just have Tozer in the comments like 'wait DM me I think I'm dating this guy too???'
One man can change the world with a bullet in the right place.
