One thing I really wish they would have had more time to develop in the show was the relationship between Crozier and James Clark Ross. Like there’s a little of it there but not “My Dear James who I will walk an hour to see, who I went to Antarctica with and spent many a night with at the observatory, who made the doctor write to him about my health when I was sick, and who I confided my deepest insecurities to” levels. It makes the ending hurt so much worse. Like historically thats your best friend in the whole world!! Right on the other side of that tent!! He has literally traveled thousands of miles into unforgiving terrain to find you!!! You are sacrificing something you hold so dear because you can’t forgive yourself!! You are rejecting love in the name of penance!!!

James has heard so much of Ross and Crozier’s expedition to Antarctica, he really wanted to impress his hero and crush… only Francis isn’t into it at all 😔

For @theterrorbingo “dramatic opening shot”

this is such a random headcanon but i feel like if james clark ross had commanded erebus on the arctic expedition hickey would have just. lost his shit wracked with lust and the typical hickey delusions. like that's the handsomest man in the navy??? who just happens to be the captain of the boat-next-door??? he'd be like "i have to have him. it's meant to be. he's my only equal"

so as some might know and some might not, JCR probably did not actually wear a dress for that antarctic New Year's ball.

the reference to him wearing a dress is afaik only in Palin's Erebus and was most likely based on Palin reading William Cunningham's diary, (EDIT: it is in fact John Davis' letter home! but do read WC's diary anyway; it's fun), where he refers to "Miss Ross" and Crozier opening the ball, and knowing that Ross had worn drag before during winter theatre performances with Parry, Palin thought Davis meant that Ross wore a dress to the ball. but Ross wearing a dress was not mentioned in any diaries from the expedition, and it feels like someone would have noted that. (there is also a drawing of the ball made by Davis where it's possible that Crozier and Ross are depicted, both in coats and top hats.)

so! while this isn't 100% conclusive: most likely, no drag at the party. BUT (to make up for it),

i feel like we should talk more about the fact that the occasions when Ross did don a dress are in fact somewhat documented in print -- and we even have a (admittedly humorous and likely embellished) description of him backstage being laced into his corset:

you see, we know that Ross played Corinna in The Citizen in Parry's theatre during the 1819 expedition. and an anonymous poet wrote a poem for the expedition's newspaper called The Green-Room, or a Peep Behind the Curtain about that production, which contains the following lines:

you're welcome :)

Of course the wildman portrait of Sir James Ross, the pinup of polar exploration, is a gift to us Cold Boys girlies but I need to speak up. I simply must.

Sir James Clark Ross C.1847-1848 is - and I will die on this hill - actually prime JCR.
