19 May 1845: Franklin Expedition leaves England

Sir John Franklin's Arctic Expedition in HMS Erebus & Terror sailed out from Greenhithe on Monday 19 May 1845. And as we all know, they sadly never returned.

Quick sketch of some of the important napoleonic medical staff

Old doctors make me go insane

Should I draw Masséna in this

Fixating on a specific part of history is really fun and all, but it has left me with incurable trust issues regarding popularized quotes and facts from historical periods I'm not well versed in. Digging beneath the surface and looking at primary sources makes you realize how much bs is being regarded as (non-academic) mainstream knowledge. And all because some historian from the victorian era will straight-up have pulled a claim out of their ass or taken Mr. Petty McLiar at face value, whose memoirs were written 20 years after the actual events and contain so much bias and misinformation to be classified as fiction

Why are all the medical staff from this time period hot?

I’ve only seen a few but still. None of them look even remotely ugly

Warning, unserious oc lore-drop incoming

(This is very much still a wip, so stuff might change in the future, probably when I have more time to do research lol)

Most of the story takes place during the empire

+ some of the more important side characters

In short, they're all messy people who are effed up in their own unique ways, trying to do what they think is best (and making everything worse instead)

Feel free to ask questions about them!! (there is nothing I enjoy more than yapping about my ocs)

ALRIGHT introducing a few Napoleonic ocs from my 1789-1815 story. This is very old but Im trying to take out everything in my drafts bc it’s uh spring cleaning or smthg. Also each one is based off of a marshal in some way (either personality, looks, or plot-wise). Think of them as webtoon-ified marshals 💀

I put the marshal's name next to the oc's name

Napoleonic segment of story begins in 1806 at a border French town, where all these characters live at some point (except for the last two).

Also extra pic of St.Q bc he’s MY DESIGNATED FAVORITE BLORBO BRAINCHILD OF ALL STAR TIME 💫 💫 💫
