#crozier is a woman

[luthanraels-bignaturals]

bad the terror. we want to tell this story from a diverse perspective, so i cast them to look like how they would in the present day. the crew is multi-racial because the characters in the og show were racist, and racism is bad so it doesn’t exist in this universe (bridgerton style).

they still don’t listen to silna but not because she’s indigenous because she’s a woman (misogny still exists)

i’ve already discussed (tv) francis rawdon moira crozier’s (northern) irishness and queerness and how the two intersect, but i think irish writer seán ó faoláin summed things up very neatly in the 1950s when he said that an irish queer is a man who prefers women to drink.

The best part of the sims is that i can make James Fitzjames in the Sims and then I can put in him in a dress in the sims. this is the purpose of the Sims.

Bonus Crozier and Neptune:

(ignore the fact that he is blonde there is no good ginger hair swatch this is the best i could get)

oh yeah and this is their living room:

THE TERROR (2018) — 1.02 'Gore' ◈ [francis crozier gifs] ◈

RIP Sophia Caracroft

You dumped a guy twice and 160 years later that guy's biographer is still mad at you for it

Oh god, theres so many options but for the ask game I choose this: 🌩️ ‘Share something funny/cracky from your WIP !’

you know... I've been thinking about this all afternoon. I think there's a lot of great comedy in this fic that I think about daily (the bestie angle that Lady Terror and Blanky has is a highlight. these two idiots exchange dirty limericks bc blanky is literally the only man cool enough to be friendly with her in that way. and I love that for them. also every dialogue I've written of Francis and Blanky talking just gives me so much joy you wouldn't believe). But I think for me. The funniest thing I've thought of including in this fic (and I haven't written it yet because of spotty dialogue reasons) is this one scene where LT takes over for Jopson for the night while Francis is in cabin fever rehab, and literally. he wakes up, sees her sleeping in a chair across from him, thinks how beautiful she is, and immediately throws up. This is my crowning comedy achievement in this fic. I stand by that.

Lowkey fixated on how many of the juiciest Terror dynamics can be summed up as "self recognition through the other (derogatory)"

THE TERROR ▸ 1.10 we are gone

the hunter gestures to lady silence. crozier immediately reddens. of course lady silence has a name. she just never offered it. silna. this woman’s name has been silna all along.

SO UH??? A THING JUST HAPPENED???? So while I waited for my bus to Belfast I decided to sit on the steps of Crozier’s childhood home and read his letters from May We Be Spared to Meet on Earth. While doing so, a very very nice woman came up to me and asked what I was reading and what I was in town for. Well it turns out she works in the building!! And when she heard I was in town just to see the statue and his home she offered to give me a tour of what she could!!!! Guys I almost started CRYING I GOT TO STAND IN THE PLACE HE GREW UP IM STILL SHAKING!! And they have a picture of his daguerreotype in the building too 😭😭😭

Listening to an episode of the @antiquesfreaks podcast where they cover the costuming in The Terror and here are some amazing moments:

"But Ken, are you the only one of us that put themselves through reading the book?" "I did. Because John Bridgens was trapped inside and I had to get him out and if I read the book good enough, perhaps I could save him"

"If you don't tell these men what to wear, they're gonna look like straight up hoochies."

"As we see in the later episodes of The Terror and discipline does break down and Dundy just starts showing up to command meetings with his suspenders out! Slattern that he is!!!

"Victorian Navy: one to one analog to working at present day Target."

"I heard they flog you at Target."

"I was press ganged into working at Target."

"It's Victorian times. Everyone's wicked fucking repressed and they're about to get wicked un-repressed whether they like it or not, and they're going to show that through their clothing."

"a blur of muttonchops"

"I pre-gamed the show for 5 years with gifsets on tumblr to makes sure I would be able to tell at least the major speaking roles apart, and I still could not tell Little and Jopson apart until I figured out they had different eye colors."

"And now I'm Pilkington SpottingTM as a hobby"

calling JFJ a "fashionable boy" with his "nippies out" because he doesn't button up his coat all the way like Franklin and Crozier

The two regular hosts repeatedly comparing themselves to a delinquent class that their guest is stuck substitute teaching

"I think my character would be hitting a fat doobie right about now"

Discussing Jared Harris being obsessed with his own costuming details like all the mending on Crozier's clothes

Jopson's first appearance - "he's normal and they're normal and everyone's having a normal time here on this completely routine expedition." "It's so normal. Do you ever fall in love with your boss???" "It couldn't have been more erotic if they had just had gay sex."

Stanley and McDonald's button grouping on their uniforms to denote rank

THEY TALK ABOUT THE ICONIC JFJ GANSEEEYYY

Also Irving's Sanquhar scarf :')

"the red sweater of tenderness" sobbing screaming throwing up

"I think The Terror would have been improved if all of the marines had Boston accents for no reason"

Also marines vs normal sailors

comparing sailor's clothes to fast fashion because it's not very tailored lmaooo

The canvas overcoats being period inaccurate but still neat because they're referencing later polar expeditions like what we see on the guys in the Shackleton expedition etc

They talk about irl Goodsir's letter about clothes and the many many shirts!

Nive having to wear a cooling vest under her costume since it was real caribou fur and her coat being patched with sail cloth later.

They go into Yup'ik masks which is super cool! As well as have a conversation about the ethics of visuals/information/knowledge about indigenous artwork being shared with folks outside of those communities.

Repeated! Dan! Simmons! Roasting! As! They! Should!!!!!

Reapted! Nive! Nielsen! Praising! As! They! Should!!!!!!!!

Sophia's "oceanic color theme"

"They let the dresses have colors. The dresses have colors. The dresses have bright beautiful colors, and it's great."

"They had invented aniline dyes and they were about to make it everybody's problem!"

Lady Jane in more solids vs Sophia in more patterns

"'A woman could never possibly understand polar exploration' meanwhil Silna's up there doing it better than all of them."

Clowning on how other period pieces never use bonnets and always fuck up in the hair and makeup department

"I found Harry Goodsir's fursuit btw"

"On a scale of Calypso's Birthday to Fitzjames's Carnivale, how's your impromptu nautical drag ball going?"

"It's actually exactly like The Purge." "It's like a little Victorian maritime Purge."

"As far as metaphor and literary analysis and whatever, scurvy understood the fucking assignment."

"I punched in Scorbutic Nostalgia so that I could remember to read about it later." "I have some literature for you if you want." "Yeah fantastic! I love disease"

"CGI bear expensive"

"This episode comes with a heavy caveat of 'go to Terror Camp'" amazing.

THE DRESSTM

Tozer's Hotspur costume and Dundy's Henry VI costume and their relevance

"This is the last we see of Party!Dundy"

(About Little) "Every day he gets emails :("

Bridgler and Apollo/Hyacinthus stuff fuuuuuccckk

"Hodgepodge, my boy"

"Oompa loompa doompity dacticals, don't indulge your morals over your practicals"

"Rip Hickey you would've loved Joker"

Not a silly quote but just a really fantastic one: "That is what the best historical designers do, is they find these nuggets of information that allow them to tell a story with authenticity, both in a way that is historical but authentic to the characters as well." EXAAAACCCTTTLLLYYYYYY

"Whomst among us has not Joplarped to get through the workday?"
