[fredoesque]

Hickey must’ve seen the pots, before he ever entered Henry’s tent. No matter; Henry’s seen the spring in his step. “What? You thought you had a monopoly on horrors, Mr. Hickey?”

Hickey’s response comes slow once more. His gaze, Henry is starting to suspect, is considering. “I thought I had a monopoly on good sense.”

 Or: two reasonable men at the end of the earth.

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

Still thinking about Dundy today.

Thinking about what a compelling and absolutely stellar choice it would have been, had Hickey recruited him onto Team Mutiny.

Thinking that, out of all the lieutenants, Le Vesconte may well have been the best choice.

Like, I don't actually believe that he would be seduced so easily. I believe he's ultimately a good person who's loyal to command (at least while Fitzjames still lives) and who, above all else, is loyal to the men.

But he's also pragmatic and ruthless, is capable of subterfuge, and ultimately, is willing to be at least somewhat complicit in the deaths of some men if it ensures his own survival and the survival of others.

And that's not nothing!!!

Shipping on hard mode aka these two have zero works on ao3

"Turmoil on the inside needn't show on the out, sir." Except it kind of does, doesn't it?

The state of a character's mind and their loss of hope very quickly show in their appearence. Despair comes first, illness follows. There are so many examples of it, too.

When Jopson says this line, he's combing Crozier's hair. Who's getting first signs of ilness soon after that? Fitzjames. Blood dripping from his hair. After Blanky told him the story about Fury Beach, spawning despair/fear in James.

Talking about Blanky, he never loses hope and despite losing a leg and suffering from gangrene, he looks as fresh as ever until the last second. (the facial/hair doesn't count, i think that's his natural state)

Who looks the best out of all of them for the longest? Hickey. Hickey, who's convinced he's going to bond with Tuunbaq and survive. Not a single sign of illness, no wounds, hair is mostly in order, too.

When Jopson realises Crozier thinks they're going to die and is trying to placate him with the lieutenant status, he rapidly declines in health. Stops shaving, has scurvy gums and cracked lips. He looks rough.

Hodgson gets separated during the Tuunbattack and the next shot we see of him, his hair looks horribly thin, his cheeks are frostbitten as he's sitting there, expecting to die alone, cold and hungry.

Soon after Gibson breaks up with Hickey, he stops looking right. A bit of him is lost in that break up and he gains the iconic malnourished dog look instead.

Le Vesconte looks fine enough up until Fitzjames starts showing signs of scurvy and after James dies, he looks straight up haunted.

You could say that it's the other way around in some cases, but I like to think of it this way.

Small Terror sketchdump, with quite possibly the only Hickey I’ve ever drawn

[sconfittoleone]

the terror + dialogues

[widevibratobitch]

in terror, four lieutenants; in t3m, four musketeers. Conclusion?

conclusion - same as always: destiny.

but wait oh christ okay. they even kinda fit...

you've got the og trio of

Wet Pathetic Loser

Deeply Religious Guy

Fancy Lad

which ig would make dundy... d'artagnan?? no. no oh god ok. listen. d'artagnan is jopson im afraid:

1. has a deeply homoerotic father/son relationship with a suicidal alcoholic

2. is actually kinda obsessed with him tbh

3. doesn't really start out as One Of Them, has to wait quite some time to get promoted

4. big part of the fandom actually ships him with little aka our athos

it makes sense you gotta believe me it does it does
