Nurses really do be running that whole bell curve. It’s actually wild how some nurses are better clinicians than their doctors, and then their co-workers will be like “did you know that Broccoli is a meat I actually inject myself with microplastics as part of my fitness routine?”

Yikes, he looks like deep fried hell. The dude hasn’t looked good for a while, but this is bad. It’s wild that the context of other pictures just makes it worse.

Imagine being the kind of fucking busy body that sees someone in a mask and thinks “Egads, the cops should know about this!”

For me, Wolf Larsen represents or embodies Satan (at least, Satan as a literary figure). His ship is a veritable ship of lost souls, all of the ship’s hands are either recruited in drunkenness or fleeing something that seemed worse at the time. He’s incapable citing scripture, which would be a really uncanny thing for a captain of his day, and even curses God.

The way he finds Hump even parodies the Divine Comedy; Hump (Dante), an honest but kind of hapless writer, becomes lost. The man who would guide him comes and finds him, and lo and behold, his guide is no Virgil, but, rather, Satan. Imo, the thing that really sells this is that Hump passes out underneath the golden gate (passes through the gates of hell) and is lost and found in the fog, which mirrors the conditions in the first circle of hell, Limbo. Rather than spending their voyage showing Hump what has happened while preventing him coming to harm, Wolf puts Hump in harm’s way and spends the voyage trying to convince him of what is. By the end, the formidable captain, much like the Satan of Paradise Lost, is bound in darkness, remaining proud and sure to the end.

It’s wild how good this book is relative to how few people have read it.

“The only part I remember is ‘I now commit this body to the deep’”

I really like this one. I particularly appreciate how the artist has made the road and grass look wet. It reminds me of a summer evening after an afternoon rain.

Just wrapped act 2 on my Karlach run.

Is that a gorn?

Nothing personal, merc.

This seems like the author/publisher should be liable for criminal negligence. Hope the reddit OP didn’t send that book back.
