One fascinating thing about "You Must Unload" is how thematically relevant it is for all the characters on the show, especially Irving himself. The Terror is a story about progressively giving things up and leaving things behind, what you choose to unload and when. (Boats? Curtain rods? Books? Your only clothing, useless in this cold weather? Your only food, poisoned? Your only companions, sick and dying and unable to walk?) Trying in vain to haul things with you that you cannot carry, both metaphorically and literally.

And Irving is at the center of all of it. As discussed in this post, after Crozier declares at Carnivale that they will abandon the ships, Irving stops referencing religion, a turning point for his character. And he is the one call "Forward, men!", the final decision to leave everything they've known behind. You must unload!

He is also the one whose reaction we focus on when Crozier tells them that even the food they're carrying with them is killing them. Which makes sense, of course: Irving is the one we have seen keeping careful inventory of these supplies, trying to make them last as long as possible. Revealed to have been a futile effort the entire time. You must unload!

And then finally, he goes on the hunting trip, making the call first to split off into a smaller party, then to go all alone to meet the Netsilik. At last, he gives up his spyglass, the only prized possession he has left, something stated textually in the book and implied in the show to be important to him personally. And at the same time, he gives up the symbols of his imperialist existence: rank, class, national identity, all of it, because these things have, quite literally, no meaning in this situation. He's left with nothing but his Christian name.

And when he goes back to try to bring the rest of the expedition with him to salvation, that's what kills him. You must unload!

Hugging Headcanons. || Ft: The Red Dragon Crew.

A/n: This has been in my drafts since uhh... July? Whoops. I scrolled down and saw that it was like. 95% complete and decided that I should finish it. Anyways, enjoy!

Hollyberry Cookie

She's the sort to hug without warning, as tightly as possible, and for as long as possible. No, you cannot escape until she sets you free. No, she is not fully conscious of her own strength. Wildberry Cookie has probably had to intervene to set you free at least once or twice before.

Despite her high status as both a queen and an Ancient, she does not stress formality hardly at all. Regardless of who you are, she will choose a hug over a handshake or formal greeting any day.

If you let her, she will pick you up. It does not matter if you are bigger than her. She will try, and unless you're for some reason slippery, she will succeed.

Yk that one scene with Dark Cacao where she kind of had him in a headlock? She probably does the same to others on occasion, just when she's feeling goofy, or if they're standoffish like DC is.

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

"Issss thisss some kind of trick, cookie?" - Bestie doesn't really recognize a gesture like that. They weren't exactly known to be the most peaceful before banding with Hollyberry Cookie, and thus didn't experience regular social things like a hug. How sad.

They would probably try to fight you if you hugged without warning. Trapping their arms like that? Bad idea. The great Greenish-Red Dragon can win any battle, regardless of disadvantages!

Oh, turns out Pitaya likes hugs quite a bit, once they get used to it. Have fun in the dirt, because they lean on you a little too much, unaware (or uncaring) that you can't quite support all their weight. Oh well, they don't care if they get dirty. If you really like laying in the dirt for some reason, try petting their hair while you're at it. Be warned, you will be staying there for quite a while.

Tail wags. You can hear the thumping of their spiky tail hitting any nearby objects while they hold you close. They really hold onto you too. Not quite as tightly as Hollyberry, but you won't be going anywhere.

Royal Margarine Cookie

Haaave fun boosting his ego. Because that's exactly what hugging him will do. The fangirls envy you, they didn't get a chance to hug him! No fair!

Buttercream might also rest her head on your shoulder sometimes, since she's decided that she likes you. Occasionally she accidentally knocks you over since she doesn't know her own strength. (And tbh a dragon is heavy.)

There was one time after fighting the red dragon that he just sorta. Aggressively hugged you (in private of course.) He hadn't seen you since before Dragon City was set aflame, and he was worried for your well being. Please hug him tightly back. He might cry.

I dunno, I feel like he pets your hair too. His arms probably rest across your shoulders and he just can't help but want to pet you for some reason.

Tarte Tatin Cookie

No, she will not set the cannon down. You get side-hugged, fool. Congratulations.

She's used to doing that sort of picturesque side-hug thing since she doesn't like to not have her cannon in her hands at any point in time, and since it's the most convenient when someone wants to take a photo with her.

It takes a very special person and a very special occasion to get her to put it down for once (like when the magma dragon was slain). It is at that point that she will give you a proper hug.

Rests her chin on your head, arms are folded across your shoulders. You can tell how tired she is after hunting dragons all day just from her tired sigh and the way she sort of tiredly leans against you.

Snapdragon Cookie

You do not hug the baby. The baby hugs you. Or at least they try.

They will fly full speed at you and then you have to catch them, or be tackle-hugged to the floor. If you don't stop them in time, they will happily tumble to the floor with you, squealing all the while.

Their arms are a little too short to wrap all the way around your torso, but they can hug your neck just fine.

Honestly, their aggressive hugging behavior gets directed at anyone. Pitaya Dragon Cookie finds it hilarious when they tackle cookies to the ground for the sake of a hug. Stop encouraging them.

4c told derap about Kab's new spawn. Derap's asking 4c (very threateningly with an axe in hand) why he blew up spawn. 4c told him it was an initiation.

4c said Focus was working with Mane 2 weeks before they found the orbital canon??? 4c is confused cuz he thought everyone knew the details about the betrayal at this point

Mane found the orbital canon on his own, he only asked Focus about it to test if they were betraying. The plan was to sabotage the canon, but if that didn't work then Focus was supposed to go to the fight and die when Mane asked.

Derap showed 4c one of the Nuke shots he found. 4c was surprised, he told Derap that Focus tried to input cords for a nuke shot when the canon was being destroyed but it didn't work (the nuke shots where aimed at the canon itself). They think the shot might have been Spoke

They started to talk about the knew update and Derap asked why he wanted to explore (cuz he was suspicious of 4c), 4c said he wanted more elytras because his teammates lost theirs on the war for spawn, he said he got 10 elytras. Derap thinks he's lying, he thinks 4c found the exploit.

Derap showed Zaun to 4c and asked if 4c was the one to build the house there. 4c said it was him. Derap promised he wouldn't tell Zam it was 4c. Derap said he doesn't really care about what builds are at spawn, he just doesn't want it to be completely blow up. He also said he cares about how Zam feels. Derap also told 4c about the big fight with Flame and the whole thing with Zaun.

Derap asked 4c to make a trust exercise. He asked 4c to give him his chestplace but it was normal. They kept dancing around the topic till they both admitted to it. 4C said he's armor was normal right now because when kab asked him to make the new spawn he thought Mane was gonna drop him lmao. They both found out about it while exploring the end.

Derap explained why they made Zaun. Derap said Zam was very chill about the mystery house at Zaun, he even integrated things with the build. He said it was okay if 4C continued to build there, as long as he doesn't tell anyone. 4c didn't even tell his teammates about it.

Derap told 4c it would be a good idea to have a chat with Zam, but 4c is not sure of what he would say. Derap asked him to not tell Zam about the exploit, because he thinks Zam is not gonna react well, 4c was a little surprised he wasn't telling Zam but he agreed.

(Important to note that 4c told squiddo about it, and Derap is scared she's gonna tell Ash about it, but 4c trusts squiddo)

(Also important to note that 4c did get 10 elytras, he just didn't show it to derap earlier because they were in the same shulker as the armor)

"shipping saiki is aphobic because he's aroace!"

stares at you with my demiromantic asexual in a committed relationship eyes then looks at the camera like im in the office

[ahfrickenfrick]

with jason returning back to the public eye after stating his death was a hoax and he was actually missing for years, he expected his name to be in the headlines and trending or whatever

he wasn’t expecting the exact twitter headline “jason todd for president” and he’s so confused because he still doesn’t 100% get all of the trending memes

so he just goes with it and legitimately starts campaigning and suddenly he’s actually getting real support? and now he’s in the actual running for the president of the United States??

roy is his vice president

elle and emmett from the legally blonde musical are one of those m/f couples that i think work best as a woman and a man purely because their relationship and how elle wouldn't stay at harvard for him because she has grown to want true respect & success more than a man she loves' approval/desire is like so important to the themes of the story and it's the whole point and it's part of what makes them so good. on the other hand emmett could be such a hot butch lesbian it's crazy i want to eat drywall when i think about emmett forrest but a butch lesbian BUT it simply would not improve and in fact would detract from the themes of the story. they have to be m/f
