i never noticed how in the scene where the mutineers are eating gibson, hickey appears to be caressing the meat with his thumbs, the sort of motion you do when you’re comforting someone.

adam nagatis you slippery bitch how could you do this.

Thank you for introducing me to The Terror and The Passenger, both of which sit at the intersection of two of my favourite media subgenres: men in Situations™️ and gays who are absolute freaks.

Victorian undergarments: a guide for Terror fans

AKA the truth about men’s corsets, leather gear, garters, over the knee stockings, drop front versus front fly trousers and More Terror Shit Shirt Posting

My hot mess of a shirt post continues to get notes. I continue to get lovely asks and pms, so I’m going to bring you more shirt information as well as more info about other articles of historic clothing worn in the Terror. My hope is that this will be useful for fic writers and artists as well as giving fans a deep dive into one of my favorite obsessions: historical dress.

The style of shirt that Francis wears was an all purpose undergarment. It was almost always white, or unbleached linen (though cotton was used for shirts at that point in the 19th century). It was cut with a very full sleeve (up to twenty inches) to allow ease of movement and long tails which were tucked under the groin to form a protective layer between the body and trousers. The shirt was not a button down as we know it, but had a pullover V-neck with two buttons at the throat as on this extant example:

One of the things that interesting about this shirt was how little it changed over the years. This cut of shirt had a 150+ year reign. It was a practical design that provided a washable layer next to the body. The generous sleeve allowed for a variety of clothing to be worn with it. It had the downside of requiring a lot of fabric (more than 3 yards of linen for each shirt) and as such patterns could be a complex patchwork of sewn together squares that helped avoid waste.

By the 1840s men’s shirts were changing. The front was often decorated with pintucking, the fabric was lighter weight cotton, rather than linen, but the full sleeves and long tails were still in evidence.

Those would gradually be lost over the next decades as the popularity of knitted drawers, union suits and other types of underwear came into being and as sewing machines made mass production of shirts possible.

But obviously our Francis cares nothing for these modern shirts and wears his old favorite that he has owned forever, possibly made by a family member, as was common in the period especially for officers in the military. Mind you, it doesn’t really matter most of the time that his shirt is very old as it was never meant to be seen. One of the worst costume fantasies that has been perpetrated in so many period films is the gentleman walking around in his shirt. At least Andrew Davies Mr. Darcy had the good sense to be embarrassed to be caught in his shirt. Joe Wright’s Darcy actually goes a courtin half dressed...but I digress. We only see Crozier in his shirt sleeves after they’ve left the ship, have been hauling for a few days and during the mutiny. I like to think that Crozier realizes that wearing his old shirt will help the men identify with him more. 

If you were an officer in the military you would be provided with a steward or valet to assist in your dressing. This man would also help to keep your uniform clean and and in good repair. (Honestly one of the best relationships in all of fiction is the one between Captain Jack Aubrey and his steward, Killick, who lives in a state of constant paranoia about Aubrey’s uniforms.) An officer would have several shirts so that they could have a clean one at all times and they would probably keep a best one for dress. (Maybe Francis has a cotton shirt with pintucking, folded away in a trunk somewhere, guarded feverishly by Jopson) The sailors who had no access to regular laundry would have a few as well, though they might be made of cheaper, rougher cloth, with ticking or striped patterns on them, like the one Hickey wears during his trail.

Again, Francis appearing hauling alongside the men in his shirt is his way of signaling to them that he is one of them. Mr. Goodsir, also appears in his shirtsleeves after the mutiny, a sign that his civilized veneer is scraped away along with his outer uniform.

Drops and drawers

Well into the 19th century both men and women had no such thing as drawers, pants, underpants, knickers etc. as a rule. For men, the long shirt tails were tucked under the groin, front and back and created a little, er..nest for their equipage. For women, the shift, just a long shirt really, provided a layer of protection between menstrual blood and valuable gowns and stays, as well as protecting less washable layers from sweat and grime.

But for the men of the Terror, there was layer of knitted wool underwear, that may have been either two pieces or one suit, with buttons running the length of the body. There are very few examples of these garments, but we do know they existed thanks to the Maritime Museum saving Lord Nelson’s stuff.:

Interesting that this shirt has the long tails for tucking. But by the time of Franklin expedition, knitted long drawers would have been available as well. The full long underwear suit wasn’t patented until the 1860s in America (where it’s use by soldiers in the Civil War earned it the moniker “union suit.”) However that doesn’t mean some kind of full suit of long underwear wasn’t available in England at the time of the expedition. My guess is that Francis has a separate shirt, the top of which is visible during the crisis over Mr. Morfin, and woolen or cotton “drawers” which he mentions to Jopson on the morning after Morfin’s death like these from 1840s made by John Smedley:

Hickey is shown in his underwear after Irving’s murder and then after the mutiny he adopts it as a sort of uniform (complete with stolen boots and great coat) of the new regime. It’s such a wonderful little detail that this BASE creature is wearing only a BASE layer.

Garters, Stockings, Corsets and other Kinkwear from Military history

Men’s and women’s stocking differed very little in the 19th century. Over the knee stockings of embroidered silk would have been kept for dress, but every day socks of cotton and wool with embroidery near the top or “clocking” (because the pattern was often of a clock) were worn by all.

Lord Nelson’s stockings had a crown insignia instead of a clock, which I just think is neat. (His undershirt has the same insignia at the neck...whether it was Emma Hamilton or Lady Nelson doing this embroidery, we’ll leave to Terrence Rattigan to decide...)

Officers would have had dress socks that were held up by sock garters (elastic garters for men and women were patented in the 1820s.) Given that their shirt tails were cut to mid thigh and their socks were over the knee, it’s fairly plausible that they used a double ended garter which clipped at one end to the shirt tail and the other to the top of the stocking. If all of this is sounding like some of the racier James Fitzjames fanart that is not my fault. Blame history!

Speaking of which, did you know that men sometimes wore corsets to make their uniforms fit better?  This 1830s Royal Marines uniform at the Maritime Museum is specified to have required a corset for proper fit. Sadly the corset didn’t survive! (If anyone wants to draw Tozier, Pilkington or Hedges in a corset, I would very much like to see that.)

As if all of that weren’t kinky enough, there is this leather and rope jock strap, which was attached to a corset, also from the very naughty nautical museum in slutty, slutty Greenwich. The less said about the white crust on the jock strap the better.

Waistcoat Discourse

Well this will probably be a bit pedestrian after that section, but I think it’s worth talking about waistcoats as well. In the flashback scenes Francis wears a fancy silk waistcoat that has the same cut as the other wool one he wears.

Again this is Francis’ practical nature. Navy uniform patterns were sent out in 1843 with changes to the uniform, including a different waistcoat, so he’s having his man make the waistcoat off the same pattern, saving him money. An interesting footnote was that the Lieutenants uniform in 1843 had a bunch of additional gold braiding and there were many complaints to the admiralty about the cost of these additions. There was also a thriving second hand market in used uniform jackets.

Fitzjames has a white waistcoat cut from the same pattern.

Which is based off of the portrait of real life Fitzjames.

Wool flannel would have been the fabric of choice for arctic explorers. It’s a nice little detail, that The Real Mr. Hickey had a plaid flannel waistcoat in the flashback scene:

That striped shirt looks familiar! I wonder if the imposter Hickey took his clothes after he dabbed him?!

And finally: STOCKS

In the 18th and 19th centuries men went so far as to cover the collar of the shirt with a stock (think of it as a cumberbund for the neck) so that their collar wasn’t peaking out from their tie. It also helped to make for the appearance of a long, graceful neck. I mean scroll back up and check out the giraffe neck on historical JFJ. Stocks have generally fallen into the vast pit of forgotten fashion and it’s the rare historical costume nerd that even knows what they are, yet for almost 200 years they were considered essential kit for men. Officers in the military HAD to wear a stock as part of their uniform, and it was often uncomfortable (the base of the stock was made of leather, horsehair or WOOD) and covered with fabric. It buckled in the back, requiring a servant to help put it on. Here is a 1845 silk and leather stock from the Maritime Museum:

Though it isn’t exactly undergear, trouser fronts were in flux during this period. Here is the 1843 uniform with the fall front trouser opening. But in the world outside the navy, fly front trousers are starting to pop up around 1840ish.You are welcome to my JFJ has newfangled fly front trousers head canon...

Have you already drawn some of the cold boys besides the baear? I would love to see your take on them!

yeah... here

*honestly the cast of the show is so good.. that i cant imagine them much differently.. i just dont aggree with the show design of the bear.. everything else is great... 

**tho it would have been rad if they had found actor for Hickey who was like 5 ft tall.. like in the book...Adam Nagatis is so good tho so ill allow it... cant have everything...

#the terror #cornelius hickey #sketches #my art #cant have so many missing teeth either #ah well #5ft something rat bastard with more than one missing teeth is me representation

[thegreenmeridian]

i’m really glad i saw chernobyl before the terror. i don’t think i could have felt for vasily ignatenko if i could only see cornelius hickey, that prick.

I watched em that way around too, but I think Adam Nagatis is chameleon enough for me not to have been affected! And his interactions with Jessie Buckley were so beautiful and heartbreaking, that would have easily swayed me.

In HBO's 'Chernobyl,' Truth, Power and the Russian Way

“Chernobyl” is one of the best shows of the year.

In early 2018, CNN released a 30-second ad for its "Facts First" campaign. The short and simple clip shows an apple with a narrator saying, "This is an apple. Some people might try to tell you that it's a banana. They might scream, 'banana, banana, banana' over and over and over again. They might put 'banana' in all caps. You might even start to believe that this is a banana. But it's not. This is an apple." Obviously, the news network was taking aim at President Donald Trump and his ongoing retaliation against "fake news," which, according to him, includes CNN.

Since the 2016 presidential election, and especially in the years since Trump took office, a new world of post-truth politics began to shape, thanks to the Internet, social media and Russian interference. What we understand to be indisputable facts and undeniable truths are now up for debate, subjected to manipulation and can be misconstrued simply because people with popular Twitter accounts claim these truths are not real (take flat-earthers, for example) or because we see a convincing but false posting in our news feeds. Although it's been over 30 years since the catastrophic nuclear disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, HBO's new miniseries "Chernobyl," which debuts Monday, is an incredibly gripping show that is rooted in today's distorted post-truth world.Created for TV by Craig Mazin, who also writes all five episodes, and directed by Johan Reneck, "Chernobyl" is a fascinating dramatization of one of the world's worst man-made disasters in history. It plays out like a stranger-than-fiction sci-fi thriller, unfolding in the now-deserted town of Pripyat, in northern Soviet Ukraine. What's eerier than all the mind-blowing details about the disaster and all of the ramifications the explosion continues to plague the earth today is that the limited series finds relevance in our modern political climate.

"Chernobyl" follows scientist Valery Legasov (Jared Harris), who the Kremlin asks to join a panel of bureaucrats dealing with the explosion. The group is more interested in upholding the Soviet Union's perfect image and telling the public (and the world) that the explosion is minor than dealing with the crisis at hand. Legasov cannot bite his tongue, however, and is eventually tasked, along with skeptic Soviet Deputy Prime Minister Boris Shcherbina (Stellan Skarsgard), to go to the power plant and investigate the situation. Later on in the series, nuclear physicist Ulana Khomyuk (Emily Watson) gets involved, lending her knowledge to the urgent incident and underscoring how severe the explosion actually is.

From the get-go, "Chernobyl" operates with a hum of dread. The first episode "1:23:45" begins at the end of the story, a few years after Legasov handled the explosion when he takes his own life. Before doing so, he recorded his version of events to tape to ensure the real story of the Chernobyl disaster is told. The episode then flashes back to the day of the incident — a gut-wrenching and harrowing hour of television that's one-part action thriller and one-part unbelievable historical drama. The action doesn't stop there and "Chernobyl" never shies away from showing the deeply horrific events and the devastating damages radiation had on the people dealing with the meltdown. Elsewhere, the limited series shows how the explosion impacted the folks who lived in Pripyat and the surrounding areas. "Chernobyl" follows resident Lyudmilla Ignatenko (Jessie Buckley), who is pregnant with her first child, and her firefighter husband (Adam Nagatis), a first responder at Chernobyl. Through their experience, we see how the government dealt with those first subjected to the deadly radiation spewing from the power plant and how medical professionals were helpless with aiding those affected.

Most disturbing of all is how "Chernobyl" portrays Soviet Union officials dealing with the disaster at the time. Viktor Bryukhanov (Con O'Neill), the plant's manager, and Anatoly Dyatlov (Paul Ritter), the plant's deputy chief-engineer, were in charge at the time of the disaster and apparently did everything in their power to downplay the disaster. When told that the Chernobyl nuclear core exploded, the men fired back at their accusers by asking, "How does a nuclear core actually explode?" (The line of thinking at the time was that there is no convictable way it could explode.)

When Legasov tells them that the core exploded, pointing out the enormous hole in the power plant and that graphite, which is used to insulate the core, is littered all over the ground that surrounds the building, Bryukhanov and Dyatlov ask Legasov to explain how it happened. He can't and therefore, despite the evidence in front of their faces, the core didn't explode. It's this type of gaslighting that happens throughout "Chernobyl" that is incredibly unsettling and unnerving as officials do nothing as the situation gets worse. At the end of the miniseries, title cards offer details about the disaster, explaining that while the number of deaths related to Chernobyl is hard to determine, it is estimated that the effects of the explosion range from 4,000 to 93,000 deaths. However, the Soviet death toll remains unchanged since 1987, which claims just 31 people died.

Five hours feels like the right amount of time to dedicate to the Chernobyl disaster. The miniseries never feels bloated or slow — a common complaint aimed at a number of prestige TV shows. And in some ways, "Chernobyl" defies expectations of what a prestige show is; there are no A-list American actors involved in the project but it's an all-star cast of British performers ("Dunkirk" star Barry Keoghan shows up towards the back half of the show). Creator/writer Mazin has mostly penned comedies, including "The Hangover Part II" (and "Part III"), "Identity Thief" with Melissa McCarthy, as well as "The Huntsman: Winter's War." On "Chernobyl," however, Mazin sharpens his craft for a smart and well-written series with fleshed out characters that are brought to life by exceptional direction from Renck, whose credits include "Breaking Bad," "The Walking Dead" and music videos for Madonna, Robyn, Kylie Minogue, and more. The result is a surprising and captivating miniseries that's both intense and horrifying, making "Chernobyl" one of the best TV shows this year.

What I really want now is a miniseries of the broken lands but with the same actors from the terror.

I would die to see sweet and kind Paul Ready go ape on his own blood and throw wine bottles at a sickly Tobias Menzies.

Let Tobias Menzies lose half of his wig after going on a polar adventure.

Let Jared Harris try to execute Ronan Raftery for making a bad joke.

Let Adam Nagatis play Hickey again only to just be a twink that’s more into Tozer than he already was.

#i could honestly go on #the terror #the terror amc #the broken lands #just imagine how great and terrible that would he #be

[awellboiledicicle]

So i was reading that photoset about how Adam Nagatis did a lot of specific reading for his part as Cornelius Hickey in the terror, and i just.. 

It seems painfully applicable to Dio Brando. 

Like he saw he wasn’t a good person, partially out of necessity, and then went “you know what? If i am a bad person, and i know i am, i will be the most evil. And I will do it well.”
