I think abt solomon tozer SO MUCH. His character revolves around what is and isn’t allowed in victorian masculinity, he has this great craving to express tenderness and care but he can only do so through certain avenues bc most caretaking is women’s work. He finds a way to do that by becoming a marine sergeant, where he can look after his men and care deeply about them and it won’t get him ridiculed (e.g. the way goodsir’s care for others does). That scene where he’s trimming heather’s fingernails and talking to him just says so so much about tozer. I think that’s when you see him the most relaxed in the whole series, that’s the thing that comes the most naturally to him. He’s a caretaker. Which makes him so much more tragic bc he’s one of the few characters with a clear calling and a passion in life that’s not related to colonial pursuits, but those pursuits end up robbing tozer of his purpose, too, bc once the expedition gets past a certain point of fucked up, there’s nobody he can really take care of anymore. There’s nothing he or anyone else can do to help. And I think that’s when he really breaks down and starts going along with hickey, bc I think the other really telling scene with tozer is when hickey holds his face. I think he follows hickey partly bc he’s fed up with the existing leadership (especially the way they’ve treated his marines, putting them on the front lines like cannon fodder, ripping his family away from him) but also bc hickey offers him the only scraps of gentleness he can still find.

I also think abt how irl tozer had a fuck ton of siblings, such that there were likely always older ones taking care of him and he was always taking care of younger ones, and now he doesn’t know how to operate except as part of a family. Also how he and edward little mirror each other with the dog motifs, cause tozer is used to operating in a pack but resorted to following a leader as the pack broke down, and little is used to being loyal to a master but was forced to become part of the pack as leadership broke down. Idk i just think about him a lot, if ur reading this pls think about him a little extra today for me <3
