and of mind. Do do do do do do do do do do do.

How was your end-of-December-into-January time, meme? Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Or light a candle in your window in the hopes that Himaruya would update again instead of leaving us behind like an 19th century light house keeper's wife whose husband has gone off to sea? ... Did you?

Enjoy part 347!

Why are people usually more interested in the sinking of the Titanic than the Lusitania?

[(Anonymous)]

because i'll never let go jack, never let go

[(Anonymous)]

Because it took Titanic 3 hours to sink and Lusitania like 20 minutes, maybe? More time for human folly, tragedy, bravery, etc. Also, the Titanic had been lauded as the latest in the great luxury liners, was carrying an excessive amount of the rich and famous of its day, and makes an excellent metaphor for the fragile grandeur of mankind

I think this has something to do with it. It's, well, rife for narrative. Figuratively, in the public imagination, and literally in fiction.

because the titanic was toted as unsinkable. and also because the story of the titanic is the story of man vs nature, in a way, whereas the lusitania was sunk in the course of war.

and it certainly helps to have had a movie about it.

*practically unsinkable. it was originally that

[(Anonymous)]

Idk because the Lusitania gets rolled underneath World War I?

[(Anonymous)]

somewhat relevant

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]

No, that was written afterward

I read polar bear and the first thing that came to mind was that book oops. The other one sounds so eerily similar.
