Tozer

[zombqueeen]

David Walmsley's deep engagement in scenes he's not even part of speaks volumes about his passion for acting. I hope to see him and the other talented cast members in more roles in the future.

I did just see that the show was added to Netflix US & is being featured in the “New on Netflix” section. Hopefully, this will help introduce it to a wider audience and showcase the incredible performances of the cast

BTS from Aidan Monaghan.

I don't have an awful lot because he is so hard to spot and you've likely seen all these before but there he issss

[manicpixiedreamjop]

different anon. i like the idea of tozer trying to get a nickname thing started for the several thomases he knows but not for the solid 50% of the team that are williams. perfect clarity as to which william hes referring to at any given time.

Oh sure, it’s Bill (heather), Billy (Gibson), Will (strong) and Liam (pilkington) but for some reason he’s like ��no no the Tom/Tommy/Thomas thing is confusing, they’re now tarts, Tommy arms, and TJ.” Blanky doesn’t end up with a nickname out of respect and he’s kind of disappointed tbh he wants to know what Sol would’ve come up with

[haredjarris]

the way tozer is like “why are they surprised that heather is still alive? he’s a ROYAL MARINE” as if whatever good ol’ english skills needed to be a royal marine also mean you are impervious to having your skull cracked open. rip solomon tozer you would have LOVED those manipulative made in the royal navy adverts

give me ur top 5 terror ships and the main reason they make u feel so many feelings 🥰

Thank you so much for this ask, I'm very excited to share all of that!

5. Hickey/Crozier

While I do ship them, I also just love watching their whole dynamic and interactions as characters because of the way they're opposites on many levels yet also extremely similar. Or at least, they start similarly. And while I think a lot of how Hickey felt about Crozier was either exploitative or at the very least that he would be like any of the other captains/officers, and useful to exploit but nothing else, the longer the show went on and the more Hickey seemed to just kind of be losing it, the more he also seemed absolutely fixated on Crozier in a way that did become something else. He had so many opportunities to end everything, as did Crozier, but neither did, and why could be a lot of different reasons.

4. Hickeygibsontozer

I put this instead or just HickeyTozer or HickeyGibson because I honestly can't choose between them and feel like the dynamic between the 3 of them post-mutiny would have absolutely been even more interesting if Gibson did survive longer. I feel like Hickey and Gibson were very often alternating between showing actual, very real love for each other, and hurting each other first from miscommunication (Hickey risking punishments and encouraging Gibson to as a form of showing love, Gibson trying to stop all of both out of self-preservation and because he Didn't want Hickey to be punished, among other things), and then later just hurting each other much more deliberately because both were fucked up enough truly only for each other. It really is wild how out of the 3, Tozer is probably the least fucked up, mostly just because he seemed to initially turn to Hickey out of respect, seem to want to turn away from and leave him out of fear, and even then, even after so much, he would lean into Hickey's hands at his face in a way that still suggested he took more comfort in him than he probably expected he ever would. Also, had Gibson lived longer I feel like he would have had way more actual control over the mutineers in a way which may have lead to Tozer being surprisingly loyal to him in a similar way.

3. Goodsilna

I think Goodsir and Silna's whole relationship did initially start as something of a studying thing, at least on Goodsir's part, but what was both good in general yet bad as far as he may have seen it was that he was fairly quickly unable to keep seeing her as just that. It seemed like throughout a lot of interactions, other characters would be very quick to easily discuss her or others as not 'real' humans in at least some way, but Goodsir still seemed unable to think of Silna that way, whether that was when he was trying to learn her language to better communicate with her and (it seemed) out of just wanting to know it, or even when that was much later and he was forced with never talking to nor seeing her again, causing her death, or leaving his own people behind. They're another pair that I just like the dynamic of a lot even not as a ship. I also feel like Silna did think of Goodsir in a different way to many, understanding him in a similar way to how he understood Collins, and offering him the comfort and possible support no one else seemed to. I very often think about aus in which Goodsir did come to realize how the real problem Was more than just how English people were there, but what brought them there, and that they would not be much better if he were able to get back, so he just joins Silna and her people in the way Crozier did.

2. Fitzier

This one is harder to describe just because I feel like so much has already been said about it but I'll say what I like anyways. I like how the whole time, it seems like Crozier is always a representation of all the true knowledge and just understanding of things that Fitzjames first hates because it makes him feel like even more of a fraud but comes to take so much comfort in that it starts to result in him opening up to Crozier in a way Crozier so quickly and so completely comforts and accepts. It really feels like only those circumstances allowed for that which is painful because Fitzjames like Needed that with someone, and yet that was almost definitely the only scenario in which it would've happened. So a lot of them as a ship is sort of doomed from the start not because they wouldn't be good, they would be perfect, but what brought them together would always also doom them. (This isn't to say I don't like fix-it fics or similar I adore them this is just what I think of them in canon).

1. Jopzier

I do know that they were supposed to be read as having a father and son dynamic but I gotta say I still don't really see it. There's an amount of devotion Jopson has to Crozier in general that goes beyond what seems like any actual relationship could have, and even after if not especially when he is promoted to lieutenant, it seems like him being Crozier's steward was just the most convenient way for him to actually express and make something out of those emotions. And Crozier does seem to care so much about Jopson too, but he seems unable to understand that Jopson would, really, love him that completely just because he's him, and not because he felt it was his obligation as his steward to do whatever he could for him, or maybe his obligation as a lieutenant. Which results in a distance between them that Crozier put there only just because he already thought it was there which agonizes me but I do love it.

I feel like saying the only reason I didn't put Bridglar here despite it being what I'm currently most focused on is because I do like them but they're whole dynamic is actually healthier and so much genuinely better than whatever the hell is going on with a lot of these ones that what's fucked up is the circumstances they're in, so I feel like even if you removed them from the Terror I'd love them.

[spirkkock]

Frankly I subscribe to “if you can convince me then I’ll read it.”

Within The Terror I started reading Bridgens/Peglar because they’re canonically gay. But I found it a bit too vanilla, light on the angst, etc. They are already in love, they don’t question each other’s affections, etc. (don’t get me wrong - it’s adorable and I love it as an addition in fics but it’s just not enough to hold my attention on its own)

But I started seeing the JopLittle tags, fics, drawings and, while the characters only share a handful of lines, I found their potential dynamic much more interesting and the characters much more complex (due to their relationship to the captain, their class difference, the very different responsibilities and expectations of their respective positions, the idea that maybe Edward isn’t cut out to be a Lt. but is one because of his station and that Tom should have been a Lt. if it weren’t for his disability and/or “poor breeding” - etc. etc. etc.)

Essentially, there’s so many avenues of exploration available to a keen writer there, and by god, there’s some good fics.

THEN you add Tozer to the mix to make it a OT3 and I don’t think Jopson and Tozer share a single line of dialogue, and I think Little and Tozer speak all of 2 times, one of which is when Tozer says, “come with us Edward - Edward? That’s your name isn’t it?”

But what’s interesting? Tozer is low(ish) bred, but his position as a Sargent in the Marines means that he’s essentially ascended to a top rank for an enlisted man. But he maintains the roughness that cannot be afforded to either Little, who is expected to be an officer and a gentleman, nor Jopson, who must maintain his fake affect of high breeding as a Steward, so as not to offend the officers and maintain a kind of anonymity/invisibility required of a servant.

So there’s this complexity about who has what origin, how one navigates that, how one copes with the responsibilities of their position, and how each person represents something that the other lacks in terms of freedom or responsibility that is really titillating.

Then add sex and desire into the mix and it becomes a minefield - who needs relief from their duties by being ordered around? Who has pent up aggression and angst? Who holds silent power and poise? Who is capable of maintaining decorum in frantic situations? Who is unashamed of their base desires and who is repressing them?

Hey, I wanna talk about how we do fandom! I've come to realize that I, personally, tend to differ from many others in that I highly prefer to only engage with a text as it's written, so I don't tend to really like fanon/extremely ooc characterizations and I find it hard to get invested in ships that aren't canon. My way of doing fandom isn't better or worse than anyone else's, but I am curious about how much of a minority I'm in! So:

*We've all seen ships of characters not from the same media and stuff like shipping the concept of ennui with the color blue, okay, I'm asking what you, personally, find compelling!

[tsarjozinzbazin]

Obsessed w how accurately leggy ur Jirv is also fun fact Ronan Raftery is a little bit taller than David Walmsley which means jirv is also a little bit taller than Tozer. For your consideration. Also consider that Tozer probably feels immense guilt for everything that he was a part of and dragged his men into and Irving is the perfect man to give him the redemption he craves

this is so true and real

also this is good because I was trying to figure out their height from like a bts picture since I couldn't find a real height for Tozer's actor but figured he's about the same height as Hodgson which does in fact leave him just a bit shorter than Jirv :]

(I have way too many bts pictures its not even funny, im normal i swear)

I can already see them drawing with watercolors together

oooohhhh 28 - "I know your friends" with either solittle or armitozer please! <333

(Putting this one under a cut bc it got a bit long!)

“What the fuck happened to you?”

It’s not as if Edward has any say in where Sol goes or what he does, as Sol had been kind enough to remind him on his way out the door earlier when Edward had asked where he was going (“None of your fuckin’ business Neddie, you’re not my boyfriend and you’re not my mum, so fuck off, yeah?”). He feels justified in asking now though, as Sol stumbles through the door just past one in the morning, lip split, brilliant black eye blooming on the right side of his face.

“Got in a fight, didn’t I?” says Sol, tugging open the fridge and leaning into it, pulling out a beer and immediately holding it up to the bruise on his eye. His eyes look slightly out of focus, and Edward doesn’t know if it’s from the injury or if he’s been drinking already too.

“With who?”

“Does it matter?”

“Your face is bleeding, Sol,” says Edward, shoving himself to his feet and walking across the kitchen towards him. “So yeah, I’d say it fucking matters.”

“A friend,” snaps Sol.

“What friend?”

“You don’t know him.”

“I know your friends.”

“Can we not with the third degree, right now?” asks Sol, and this time Edward is sure he’s drunk. Better that than concussed, he supposes. “My fuckin’ head is killing me.”

“Do you think it’s because you got punched in the face?” asks Edward, but he softens his voice, taking the beer out of Sol’s hand with one hand and turning his chin towards the light with the other. The bruise is nasty, but the cut on his lip isn’t as bad as it had looked when he’d walked in, only crusted with old blood, already mostly closed. “Come on, Sol,” he continues, even softer this time. “What’s going on with you?”

Sol lets out a long, slow breath through his nose, and finally looks at Edward properly, eyes big and far softer than Edward ever gets to see them when Sol’s sober. “Was seeing someone,” Sol says finally. “Didn’t work out.”

“They did—” Edward says, forcing himself to stay calm, to push down the anger rising in him, sure it’s the last thing Sol needs right now.

“I thought—” Sol starts, but he cuts himself off too, shrugging awkwardly. Edward realises all at once that his hand is still on Sol’s chin, but can’t bring himself to move it, especially not when Sol leans into the touch. “I don’t know what I thought,” he continues after a moment, and then, before Edward can say anything else, Sol leans forward and kisses him.

He tastes like blood and whiskey, his several days of stubble scratching against Edward’s chin, and Edward is already opening his mouth and leaning back into the kiss before he quite processes what he’s doing. Because they don’t do this, him and Sol. They’re flatmates, they’re old friends, and maybe they’ve gotten off together a few times when they were drunk, and maybe Edward fantasises about getting down on his knees and sucking Sol off every time Sol comes home from the gym all flushed and sweaty and grinning, but they don’t do this. Edward has never even dared allow himself to want this.

“Sol,” he says, pulling away, forcing himself not to react to the small, disappointed noise that Sol makes. “You’re drunk.”

“And?” asks Sol. “Doesn’t mean I don’t want you. That I haven’t wanted you for… for fuckin’ ever.”

“You’re drunk,” Edward says again, as much to himself as to Sol. “And bleeding, and… Let’s just get you cleaned up, alright? We can talk about this in the morning.”

Sol stares at him a moment longer, eyes still wide, before his face hardens again and he steps back, holding the beer can back up to his eye.

“I can deal with it,” he says tersely. “I’ve had worse.” Edward doesn’t know if he’s still talking about the black eye or not.

“Sure,” says Edward, taking a step back as well. “Yeah. I’ll just… leave you to it then.”

“Cheers,” says Sol, and then he’s stepping away, out of Edward’s orbit, and down the hall towards the bathroom.

A W Tozer Words of Wisdom #like #facts #freedom #love #motivation #sub...

A.W. Tozer believed it was important to be cautious of false Christians because they could lead others astray from genuine faith. He emphasized that true Christianity involves a deep, personal relationship with God, marked by holiness and spiritual transformation. Tozer warned that many people may profess faith outwardly but lack the inward reality of Christ’s presence in their lives. He stressed discernment, urging believers to ensure their faith was authentic and rooted in Scripture, as false Christians could distort the gospel and weaken the church’s spiritual vitality.
