Select bits from Sir John's funeral that I just love...
So we have Crozier reading out the part about Jacob dreamed about a ladder, set upon the earth, "and the top of it reaching to the heavens"...
...as we see Collins and Stanley, the two characters whose mental health is a defining part of their character arcs.
Then, "Behold the Lord stood above it and he said, 'I am with thee ...'" as the focus shifts to Goodsir.
"'... and will keep thee in all places, wherever thou goest'".
Goodsir, who later questions "is God here?"
The following line and shot are "'for I will not leave thee'" as we see Jopson and Blanky.
The two men Crozier left. Blanky knew Crozier was, just earlier that day, planning to leave them. Jopson likely knew, as it's remarked later that he knows everything, and perhaps he's the one who tidied away the unsealed letter and wax.
Then the Terror lieutenants, with MacDonald too. "And in Jacob's dream he saw the invisible world, companion to the known one we perceive."
The men who were privy to Crozier's alcoholism, and were part of maintaining that separation between officers and men... but also Hickey and Irving 'perceived' Hickey's true nature.
So, of course, when we have: "So complete it would seem to leave no room for its invisible brother world" as we see Hickey...
that otherness, that not belonging, keeping out of sight, experiencing thing in such a different way but no one notices or even thinks it's there...
And then going back to a shot of the men gathered at Sir John's funeral. "The departed..."
"...who though cleaved from the frame that carried them yet live." They are all departed. Dead. Crozier is the only one who doesn't die, but he certainly doesn't 'stay' in the world he's expected to.
The contrast of the words of virtue and strength, from scripture and used to describe Sir John and saying he's "destined to reign with Christ forever", being heard as we see Hickey in Gibson's cabin.
The white glove over the hand that will offer up Hickey's tongue, his left hand reverently touching the spot, the fact that, all that time later, Hickey has come to believe that he can be a new god and reign...
Finally, for this post, we have "and see His truth amongst us" as Hickey reads Crozier's resignation letter, discovering the truth of Crozier's actions.
And not one of them is god, or has the truth. They are all in this terrible place where the sun has set, in this strange world they don't understand, in this "invisible world of spirits".
There's so much in this scene, so many links, that I just lose my mind every time.

I can't believe Crutchie from Newsies and Doctor Facilier from The Princess & The Frog are playing a sexy spider and a sad old cat in Hazbin Hotel

this is like super cringe or whatever but it always kinda hurts when People Who Make Posts Online seem to think self-hatred, feeling misunderstood and unloved and other such pleasures of life are something that only happens to overdramatic teenagers who then grow up to realize they're, duh! obviously! how could i be so silly! loved by the people around them. it's like once you hit a certain age you naturally become a proper member of the society who's above such immature things as "feeling like an outsider". when like. i'm only realizing now how enormous the gap between me and my peers/people much younger than me is, how i have zero skills or experience with literally any "adult person thing" you can think of, how i'm not just "an introvert" or "just like that as a person" but rather a result of what happens when you just stop caring about your child having friends, hobbies, etc and simply leave them to do their thing in their room, and how i quite lichrally do not know what love is because no one in my life has loved me in a way i could understand nor did they care to teach me. and it doesn't really matter anyway but yknow, it's not like i can filter those posts! so it's always like Aough an unscheduled reminder to Feel Bad Strongly
