My Fitzjames talk at the Royal Geographical Society, online and in person. 🥳 Looking forward to it!

@justanormaIgirI Literally footage of John Ross writing.

@CaptFitzjamesRN john cooking on that

letter to john barrow esq. on the subject of the polar expedition, or the reviewer reviewed is like the burn book to me <3

@thisisntoptimal Perfect choices!

Kill Peary, fuck Amundsen, and marry Shackleton (Mr. Roald Extramarital Affairs Amundsen will want me more once I'm married to someone else)

@LtJWFairholme Nice jacket. 😏

i’m sorry i don’t make the rules… animal lover, over 6ft tall, wore a hat made by his sister, paddled in two kayaks, and scottish

One of Fitzjames' childhood homes. Not too shabby! The Manor House in Abbots Langley was unfortunately demolished in 1953.

@LtJWFairholme 😍😍😍 Two great Scots.

Yesterday I went to give emotional support to my fav old delulu man after the grave situation. Also hi wee John Rae

@miztetra There was a cross on a rock with an anchor on top, that was on the ground near the grave in a pic I saw. Good that all the parts are still there, hopefully it'll get reassembled. 😅

@miztetra Oh, the gravestone is still there! 👀

@itsjustmarla11 The book is definitely fun to read! There are so many inaccuracies that I'm writing a whole new biography, but the most important ones are that Fitzjames wasn't born in Brazil, there was no scandal with the Barrow family, & Fitzjames' illegitimacy didn't hinder his career at all.

@CaptFitzjamesRN that’s fine it’s mostly for fun to read anyway!! id be interested to know what the wrong parts are though so ill be looking that up afterwards

JACKPOT

@LtJWFairholme ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@CaptFitzjamesRN 🥹❤️ my most treasured piece I own istg

forever thankful for this community bc thanks to the wonderful @CaptFitzjamesRN I’ve got my hands on a Dad Fairholme letter mentioning James!!!!!!! 🥹 Man had been ill for weeks, including his birthday, recovered, then immediately went to the Niger expedition and almost died

@er_ebuss Yessss, maximising their joint Ross slay

@CaptFitzjamesRN this reminds me, I gotta print a new batch with jross and put him in the same phone case as evil nephew

kicking my feet rn

@er_ebuss I think Crozy wants to be a pair with that Evil Nephew guy. Even I gotta say, they are sweet together.

@CaptFitzjamesRN The come in pairs ofc!

@MrBoatman1845 @hivernnois @nautieval @saintishly EVIL NEPHEW

@hivernnois @nautieval @CaptFitzjamesRN @saintishly Our flat has natural immunity to John Ross Presence (JCR)

poor john ross.. look how they massacred my boy

@hivernnois @nautieval @saintishly HE HAS RISEN. Just in time for Easter, too. Jesus Ross.

@nautieval @CaptFitzjamesRN @saintishly the concept of john ross' spirit roaming around right now

@nautieval @saintishly That will make him turn right around. 😂

@CaptFitzjamesRN @saintishly Pinning a picture of the croker mountains to my door so the newly awakened John Ross doesn't come to get me

@saintishly No actual info but hopefully the owner of the grave is indeed having the grave restored.

@CaptFitzjamesRN oh please do let me know if you hear anything back !

@saintishly I emailed the cemetery tonight to ask what's up with the grave!

@saintishly Ugh, wish they could've done some preventive restoration. Ross family, step up and pay to have your most illustrious ancestor's grave repaired. 😞 Only the owner of the grave plot can give permission for repairs so that person better be alive.
