“I’m fighting alone, every day. I fight with the hell that I survived. I fight with the fact of my own humanity. I fight with the idea that death is the only way of escaping this fact.”

anyone else looking for beautiful girls stuck on the ice?
The Terror's cinematography is absolutely breathtaking.
So many shots have compositions that look like they could be paintings in a museum exhibit on 19th Century Realism. Obsessed with the purposeful use of blocking to portray the class divide and the mundane but backbreaking labor of sailing.
Also, I love how, as a historical drama, it leans heavily into the camera language of sci-fi and horror to create this otherworldly and ominous feeling without having to be so on the nose. It's all about the light and framing--everything is stark or slightly offkilter like the glacial landscape slowly killing the characters.
Only two episodes in and this show might beat out even Severance when it comes to my favorite visual storytelling of 2025.
I am sexy
I am beautiful
I am powerful
My hair still looks cute
My skin is its normal colour
My gums feel fine
I am still capable of pulling the sledge
I have the usual amount of teeth
The bullet wound in my side will close up any day now
The captain still thinks I'm pretty
We will find a lemon soon
Now consider: a man in a dress. Not in drag or all dressed up or anything. No accessories, no makeup or styling, just wearing the dress, some ratty boxers and muddy sneakers. No socks or stockings, hairy legs in the open air, just raw dogging those nasty shoes. Hair mildly damp. Visibly sleep-deprived. Bruises on shoulders, elbows and knees, left palm bleeding. Sitting on a curb on the street, shivering, looking wretched, and absolutely miserable.
I forgot where I was going with this.
i know someone has probably noticed this before but that deleted description from fitzjames' death scene where bridgens looks from fitzjames, and then to crozier, and "understands" is making me go crazy. like the SUBTEXT. he UNDERSTANDS 😭 . like. watching the one you love slowly deteriorate and not being able to do anything to bring them back. bridgens seeing this and knowing what's coming for him and peglar. ouchie ouch ouch
