All we have are our instincts and training.

Three adorable things about Thomas Jopson:

His smile

The hair fiddling

Shape of his nose

#so true #prettiest wife on the expedition #the terror #also the person in the notes who's like do you see macca. you're so right as well

"We suspected East was not our brightest star to follow"

I'm currently doing a rewatch of The Terror with my merry band of IRLs known as the Gay Pirates. However, for the duration of our Terror watch, we have rechristened ourselves the Gay Boat Cannibals.

Every time I watch this show—this will be my third watch overall—I realize what a horrible go of it the lieutenants specifically are having. Having just rewatched episode 2, I’m very struck by how haunted Lieutenant Hodgson looks after returning from the leads party—the only other character with that much of a thousand-yard stare that early on is Collins.

And on returning, Sir John tells him, “We suspected East was not our brightest star to follow”

If I were Lt. Hodgson, I’d be wondering, “Did Sir John really just send me out into unknown horrors just to own Captain Crozier?

I think he did—or at least, that he assigned the Terror lieutenant to the eastern party for not-unrelated reasons.

#sending gore in the direction with the best prospects surely didn't mean anything #it's a crying shame we didn't get snow blind nedward in the show

actual criticisms of academia:

cost of education acting as class barrier

exploitation of graduate workers

colonialist past and present

ties to military industrial complex

danger of power structure entrenching and justifying orthodox views on social issues

criticisms of academia that get made:

those damn ivory tower academics are wasting money learning about things

#yeah

went to an academic classicism/antiquities event and had dinner afterwards with 4 of the attendees and it was fun?? i hit it off with one guy in particular, and we shared part of a train ride and he didn't mind me monologuing abt research topics or extinction rebellion for an hour. in fact said it was all fascinating.

#i hope i made a new friend he lives in my city !! #curry rambles

The Important Role of Private Heather

We see very little of Private Heather before his encounter with Tuunbaq leaves him comatose, and perhaps his most memorable contribution to the dialogue is prompting the amazing Pudding Theory vs. Cathedral Theory, yet he influences the fates of everyone on the expedition. We don’t know who Heather was. We don’t know what he would have done as an active participant in the events that followed his injury. We do know what his brain looks like. And we know that he meant something to Sergeant Tozer and what kind of man Tozer becomes without him.

Keep reading

#this is suuuch a good post #i knew there was something about tozer after carnivale that was just off #but i realise now that it was heather's death specifically that must have done it

so many posts on here about dog coded characters and yet none of them can truthfully be tagged as javert despite his being insanely dog coded bc unfortunately they all assume certain positive characteristics he simply doesn't possess

#les mis #edward and javert are dog coded but like in opposite directions

#i know i reblogged this like last week but ned is looking SO GORGEOUSSS in this one #whoever told matthew you're growing out your hair and you're getting sideburns GALAXY BRAIN #also as per my last nedward post: eldest daughter of an alcoholic mother with a favoured younger sibling #i think part of why crozier HATES ned during this and loves jopson is bc jopson is too professional to let any disapproval slip ever #in fact he's so good he does everything with an air of indulgence almost. like this a little secret thing between the two of them #meanwhile ned is always standing there like 'i don't like this :'|' #and crozier hates those miserable vibes #perhaps bc they make him reflect on his own actions too much. get that man out of the room he's making me feel guilt. #the terror

He goes out. Crozier, moved, lies there with the enormity of the gift Jopson's giving him.
