I have been in The Terror fandom for like five minutes* but in my lurking I have come to identify a number of tropes that I am very fond of:

all and sundry (fic writers, historians, Sir James Clark Ross) taking any opportunity they can to use Crozier's full name, because "Francis Rawdon Moira Crozier" just sounds cool

it's a 50/50 chance in any given fic whether Crozier's dick works, but everyone agrees he's got a fat hog

mandatory sparkly anime eyes on all Jopson fanart

the Terror lieutenants being collectively about as much use as a handful of wet napkins, but desperate for other people's approval

Hickey showing up halfway through a modern AU longfic for the sole purpose of fucking things up

a man can be your wife if that's what he vibes with

*watched it for the first time in October and then have already rewatched it twice, bought several related books and bashed out maybe 30-40k of fanfiction (in draft, I'm waiting on that AO3 account), because that's the effect this show has on people

now if it came with minifigs of Shackleton, Frank Hurley and Mrs Chippy we'd have a deal

Lego is releasing a very nice model of the Endurance on 29.11 but my goodness why for 260€?

Antarctic explorers’ drawings of penguins

Robert Falcon Scott. Hilarious. 7/10 for the first one because he is so friendly, 5/10 for the second.

Ernest Shackleton. What an angular & compact little guy. 5/10

Edward Adrian Wilson. Shut the fuck up Bill, we know you’re an incredible artist. 10/10, obviously

George Marston. I mean that’s a solid penguin right there. 8/10

Frank Worsley. Oh Wuzzles…..the composition of this is stellar. Wuzzpeng you will always be famous 9/10.

Apsley Cherry-Garrard. The cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my life, every time I lay eyes on it I tear up. I fully acknowledge my bias but 11/10.
