Reading The Terror and just reached this hysterical passage re: The Creature
Tumblr media
'It can't climb the mainmast, thought Blanky. [...] At least it can't climb the mainmast. Nothing that size can climb. No white bear --if it is a white bear-- has experience climbing.
The thing began climbing the attenuated mainmast.'

I’m listening to an audio book of DS’s The Terror Bc I need something to keep me awake while I work on a project, and I stg I have to take a break and pace around my house every so often because something in the book will be so fucking egregious that I have to shake the urge to hunt down Simmons and strangle him.
I assume this is a fairly standard reading experience for this book.

if the les misérables book is called "the brick", the terror book should be called "the berg".

I started playing The pale beyond. This might be what actually gets me to finish The Terror. I got that book like about a year ago and I haven’t gotten that far into it. Arctic ship crash fiction is a weird rabbithole to fall down but I am falling.

I love how unsanitized The Terror feels. Like there’s grime everywhere. You can tell those men smell bad. When they do surgery you can hear the bone being cut, when they get sick they look genuinely ill. The main character’s actor even has pockmarks, he LOOKS like he could be from the 1800s! And idk, I think it’s cool that we’re so aware of the characters’ carnal desires. They’re hungry, thirsty, freezing, etc, and it is so obvious that they have a body with needs!!
I think this also accounts for how horny the show feels, even though everyone is bundled up 90% of the time and there are no real romantic subplots. Besides the fact that it’s a very carnal show, it just has the intimacy and grime of true horniness. Is this thing on

How awful do you have to be for Heaven to nickname you “the three tumors” when Feng Xin and Mu Qing are around constantly destroying the capital while everyone laughs about it??
Ling Wen, Shi Wudu, and Pei Ming. What did you do??

"[Fitzjames'] public demeanor, which was always an easy mix of self-effacing humor and firm command, remained the same, but in private with only Crozier in attendance, Fitzjames spoke less, smiled less frequently, and too often looked distracted and miserable. For a melancholy man like Crozier, the signs were obvious. At times it was like staring into a looking glass, except for the fact that the melancholy countenance staring back was a proper lisping English gentleman rather than an Irish nobody."
The Terror, Dan Simmons

city spirits dpxdc
may i suggest a recommendation for anyone in love with the city spirit concepts to check out, gotham academy, olive silverlock, and the dc villain known as calamity. i feel it could feed all of your creative flames.
for those who aren't into digging up the comics, gotham academy has several videos on youtube where people basicly read them to you.
but i feel with those three twigs via wiki, dpxdc fans who love amity and gotham as city spirits with tension especially can start a bonfire.

the problem with the terror (2018) is that it rewires your brain and gives you enough brainrot to make you look at the terror (2007) with the same hubris of a victorian british explorer thinking that I will find the northwestern passage, actually
