Nothing More Romantic

Gore survives his encounter with the Tuunbaq, but not intact. He’s lucky to have Goodsir, who sees the wonder in everything.

hi, ships for the ask game incoming! <3 for the terror: fitzconte, hickeytozer and goodgore! for moby dick: i know i'm married to him and he was also married to queequeg at the time, but i'm humbly offering you my twisted ishmael/ahab idea, because nothing is better than a man that terrifies you, fascinates you, confuses you and you look at from afar...and yet you still feel driven towards him and you know you can't stop. also throwing the classic ahab/starbuck because i would like to listen to your thoughts!

THANK YOU SM FOR ALL OF THESE. I am so excited to get into answering everything here that I haven't already. I already did answer how I felt about Fitzconte before but I will say it again: I love them, and I feel like there could have been so, so much love that was and always would be there that we could have never fully seen because of their past together. One thing I think I forgot to mention in my last answer about it: I see it as reciprocated, but I also like the idea of it not fully being so. I like the idea that there's a part of Dundy that loves James in a way that he could imagine only truly committing himself to James, but because of how he loves James, and has known him for so long, knows him so well, he knows that's not the type of love James has for him, maybe not a kind of love he Can have at all. And because of that, I think there would be a part of him that might be pained, but still loves James, and might feel that some of the people James is very attached to (I say 'attached' and not quite 'loving' because where James would love someone like Dundy as an equal, he would love someone like Sir John from a place of insecurity. He would love them less for who they are but for what they embody to him, and for what he wishes he were.), he envies. But does that come from a place of wishing to be them, wishing James wouldn't do that, or something else? Can't even be sure. I just do love them and feel like there Could Be so much there.

HickeyTozer, though. The thing is, I do not necessarily 'like' them, but I also think that Yeah, That Happened. That was a thing that was. Going On. So in that regard I ship them. I love their dynamic in general because there's something deeply personal and intimate about it in a very fucked up way, and in that way they fascinate me. And I don't think it Has to be seen as also romantic/sexual but I also think I enjoy seeing it as that. So when I say it's also not necessarily one of my favourites that's mainly just because, while I do think the way they go together as characters, especially comparing different parts of the show, is absolutely fascinating and I enjoy the idea of it with a romantic element in some ways (though more in a blurrlingly 'is this platonic, romantic, sexual, or something else entirely?' Way. Which is also true of Fitzconte. This is something of a theme for ships I enjoy), I sort of have to be in 'the right mood' for it if that makes any sense at all. But that being said most of the time it's still a ship that a part of my brain considers to just be a natural extension of what's already canonically there. Also true of Fitzconte, sometimes.

GoodGore is one I initially didn't really ship just because I felt like we as the audience couldn't have seen enough of Gore to know anything But. Well, we did see him and Goodsir. And when you take the character that's shown in the show, the character of Gore in the original scripts (in which he seemed to play a more major role, though I also understand why they cut that), and the character of Gore based off historical Gore in stuff like 'The Ministry of Time', you do actually get something of a consistent character. Or at least there are certainly traits that are consistent among these different Gores. And that character or those traits is the exact kind that, tragically, I really think could have helped with the morale of the crew if he had stayed alive longer in the show, and would have been one of the few people to really listen to someone like Goodsir, who he seemed to want to express camaraderie towards and respect in a way that many others treated with complete dismissal. Which I would have loved to see Goodsir have. And to be completely honest, some of the reasons I started shipping them was also because of reading fics about them that did actually feel very in-character and amazingly written for a character who died in the second episode.

You're VERY right about Ishmael/Ahab in exactly that way and I'm not Sure if you've watched the 2011 movie but like. I had not even Considered those two very much by the time I did (after having read the book and watched the 1950s adaptation), but holy shit. It's. Not at all like the book in that regard. Like so much that happens between Ahab and Ishmael in that movie never happened in the book but god. I actually really loved it. That hot old man had absolutely no reason to do all that he did with and towards that younger man, and Ishmael. Had no reason to. Act like that about it. I can't describe exactly why but I kept thinking, 'He NEEDS to get destroyed by that old man and he knows this on some level' the whole time. Ahab would do the weirdest humiliation/physically violent things to him and Ishmael Only Went Closer. And that does add a whole other element to their relationship. I've heard the idea at some point that both Ahab and Ishmael became obsessed with Moby Dick and whales and the sea in general for similar reasons but in the opposite direction, sort of. Both did because it devastated them and forever changed their lives. In response to that, Ahab antagonize it and wanted to hunt it, believing it to be a mythological symbol of all that hindered him, but Ishmael seemed to become obsessively fascinated with it, believing it to also be just as powerful of a God, but one that he wanted not to kill but to See and Behold if that makes any sense. And I think rheir relationship with each other could Also reflect that in a fascinating way. Ahab could see the part of Ishmael hungry to understand and see more, and believe that hunger is not unlike his own, and he can only improve upon it. Ishmael could see how Ahab has in some ways Already tied himself to the very being he hates so much, even before he literally did, and find himself attracted deeply and intensely to the amount of information that man has and has become in relation to the sea and the whale. And it could also be even simpler than that. It could also just be that Ahab is a very experienced and seasoned Nantucket Whaler whos 'Been amongst cannibals and colleges' and Ishmael may have also been a teacher and a sailor on merchant vessels, but given just how much he seems entranced by the idea alone of whaling? Specifically Nantucket whalers? I could see him finding a combination of fascinations from the start, all rather intense.

Also taking inspiration from the 2011 movie (loosely): I can see how this wouldn't actually conflict with Queequeg's marriage to Ishmael much. I'm so often rotating that scene where Ahab remarks upon how incredibly good of friends they are. Like yes the white in the ally flag is for the whale or something, that's a fair interpretation. But also? I don't think Queequeg would feel how Ishmael does about 'taking orders' (you know, like in that entire section of a chapter in which Ishmael gets oddly defensive about how there's Nothing wrong about not caring to advance to captaincy and just wanting to be an average sailor. Every time I read it it's just like. 👍 I Get It, No One's Accusing You Of Anything, Man.) From someone like Ahab, not quite. Maybe when it comes to whaling, sure, but this is the same man who became a whaler from going onto a ship by force and just demanding they let him go with them, so he's not necessarily as. 'Eager', hypothetically, to take Ahab's orders. But id think Ahab himself would know that well enough. He wants harpooneers that don't even fear Whales, nevermind their whaling captain. And if there is something they could agree on well, besides whaling itself, it'd be that Ishmael is only a little greenhorn. Just an inexperienced little greenhorn who's so eager to know and learn from these two who are more experienced than him, and from very different lives than he's lead, and I think Together, they could sort of 'co-discipline' him, if that makes any sense. I can imagine Ahab having a certain amount of trust in Queequeg that he wouldn't have in Ishmael and eventually finding that it ensures more loyalty from both when he orders Queequeg to discipline their shared greenhorn instead of him, but with Ishmael's knowledge. So God only Knows, I do ship it, at least I'm the 2011 movie versions.

Now Onto Ahab and Starbuck: Again, a movie convinced me more than the book. I could still understand it with the book versions, absolutely, but it was watching the 1950s movie with incredible acting from both actors who played these two that made me really Feel it. Of course they naturally work well together. 'I'd follow him to hell but I wish he'd stop going there' turned up to absurd levels of both 'I'd follow him to hell' AND 'but I REALLY wish he'd not go'. But one reason I also felt like I enjoyed their whole dynamic was because of how reading 'In The Heart of The Sea' before I read or watched any version of Moby Dick gave me more information on the expected dynamics between a Nantucket whaling captain and a Nantucket whaling first mate. Technically, that book was about the event which inspired Moby Dick which happened about 20 or so years before Moby Dick is Probably set (judging by the very hints we get from the book itself but also from the fact that Herman Melville was involved in whaling exactly then), but I can see how the dynamics would have still applied. In Nantucket whaling, the best summary I can make (though I'd highly suggest reading the book for a better understanding), would be that the captains were expected to have a degree of separation and less personal involvement with the crew, and more 'cool' discipline of them. Meanwhile, the first mate's would have more 'hot' discipline, often being men the crew of Nantucket whalers may have known to be very polite to them on land only to be much more aggressive with them at sea, but they could also actually connect to the crew on a personal level too. And even with all this, the captain was expected to be firm with decisions with the mates. The first mate especially could always try to make suggestions to the captain, but if the captain decided something, he had to insist on that. In this way, it's easy to see how both fulfill those roles well enough, but also diverge from them. Ahab, in some of his first scenes with the crew at all, is direct and personal with them, whereas Starbuck is more 'professional' and 'calm', but there is of course the fact that Starbuck wants so badly for his captain to understand that which even the crew doesn't seem to understand, that this mission is a fundamentally doomed one. But that's not the will of the crew, is it? So he can hardly truly even argue that. But this also reminds me of an idea I've heard be said about Ahab and Starbuck, which was that their whole relationship is founded on Ahab trusting Starbuck, but not being devoted to him, and Starbuck being devoted to Ahab, but not trusting him. Starbuck would aim a gun at Ahab because he feels that it's in the best interest of the crew to shoot him, possibly even in the best interest of Ahab. But Ahab would trust that he wouldn't fire it. And being as devoted as he is, Starbuck wouldn't. But Ahab would not return that devotion, and still didn't change his plans. There are other reasons and that dynamic itself Is enough reason to ship them, but I'm going to take it another step further:

This balance (or rather imabalance) of trust/devotion and lack thereof is exactly what would have been had between a Nantucket whaler and his wife at home. Honestly, I don't know if the Nantucket part is necessary but again, my understanding of whaling comes mainly from 'In The Heart of The Sea' by Nathaniel Philbrick so you can understand how it's rather focused on that.

Essentially, a whaler could be expected to of course trust his wife. He can trust that when he returns, she will be there, and she won't have run off with another man. He can trust that, even if it won't turn out true, always. He can give her that trust. But his devotion? He can't be expected to give that. If he is to be a good whaler, he'd have to be devoted to that first, and spend years at a time away from her and their family entirely, unaware and/or uninvolved with those affairs. And that'd be understood. If something were to happen and if he were to become involved with foreign women, what would it matter? She couldn't know (even if she could, she could never truly prove it, and with how often it must have happened, why would she even try?)

And his wife would have been expected to be devoted to him, and raise the children she would for him, alone, and wait, for years, for him to return, only for him to leave once again, for years. But how could one expect her to trust him? He'd return having spent years away, again and again. Her devotion might have to be ridiculously strong, but how could anyone expect her to trust someone she only knew had been away that long, she only knew that she didn't know?

And that's why I think Ahab and Starbuck should have been considered, like. An honorary whaler marriage. 'They're married' 'No theyre divorced' Wrong. Secret 3rd thing: Nantucket Whaler Marriage.
