Love that not even a full week my partner watched The Terror they still cried genuine tears thinking about Jopson’s death to where it affected them so bad they’ve saved like a dozen pictures on their phone and now browses Etsy looking for a plushie because, I quote, “I just need a little Jopson. To hold.”

They want to watch it again this weekend

#and I can’t stress enough how LITTLE this person’s online presence is #they have a Facebook just to look at people selling re-enactment kit and that is IT.#plus they have personal family connections to polar exploration and so started with Shackleton and Scott and moved back in time #(I started with the FE when I was 11 so we met in the middle)#so they KNEW everyone was going to die. they KNEW the history of the whole thing #and it’s still traumatised them #I’ll get a text sometimes like ‘thought about jopson at work and almost cried again’#and ‘THEY FOUND THE PASSAGE’#they let me borrow their laptop when they’re at work so I jumped on and found like 20 tabs open on how to make the uniforms and pictures #of Victorian navy uniforms #they want to go to Bath as a NAVAL officer lol #keep in mind this guy has never been as into naval history as I’ve been so. aw lol #but yes I am now trying to obtain a tiny therapy jopson for them #DAVE K WHAT DID YOU DO #THEY STARTED QUESTIONING THEIR GENDER AFTER THIS SHOW. AND THEIR SEXUALITY. THEY SEE LIAM GARRIGANS FACE AND WEEP #THIS PERSON HAS FAN ART ON THEIR COMPUTER. THE TERROR FUCKIN REBOOTED THEIR ENTIRE PERSONALITY #I think this is the only popular piece of media they have ever seen and loved. zulu dawn is their favourite film for reference #that and Waterloo
