These Posts Are Cousins To Me.

The cow-story scene! I'm wondering, given that (real) Jopson was lashed early in his career (was show Jopson lashed?), whether (show) Jopson is dying from the scurvy faster than some others because he's got reopened wounds all over his back. (show) Crozier saw the state of Fitzjames -- if (show) Jopson was lashed too, he'd know what the scurvy was doing to him. And he tells him a story they both know to comfort him (and this is their last not-hallucinating scene together)! A story, to say goodbye, perhaps?

Will never not giggle at Nedward's "happy birthday :)"

Aw dammit, 2ic to a chaotic alcoholic poor-communicator boss on a doomed expedition! Again!

Terror brainworms: I had to make a welsh-wig.

I decided not to do the 'curls' as they are on the show because they absolutely *eat* yarn and I didn't have that much left of this grey (that matches my Terror-inspired fingerless gloves). I think these garter-stitched double-ups will be just as effective as curls or bobbles would be for the purpose of a welsh-wig (they stop water dripping down the back of your coat).

I made them by knitting the current row of stitches together with picked up stitches from a row 7 rows previous (basically - pick up a stitch from row 7 rows behind, knit it together with current stitch, pick up new stitch...and so on).

This is in dk-weight (8ply) 100% wool at 6 stitches per inch, like my gloves (not historical as it's not fine enough, but yarn I had on hand, plus some close-but-not-that-close darker yarn when I ran out, which I think they definitely would do in the 1840s). I feel like one (at least) of the Terror boys would have mended their wig with some other yarn!

I've put this on Eric, a stuffed hippo, who is why my tumblr is called 'hippocrafty' - the original plan was for Eric to model my crafts. I'm a) cursed to live in a warm & fairly dry climate & b) have long hair, so I won't get much use out of a welsh-wig for its original purpose, but it's a warm comfy beanie with a bit more to keep my neck & ears warm when I have my hair up so I'm very happy with it.

All killer no filler in this shitpost, 5/5 stars, will probably reblog again!

I love everything about their dynamic!

Just in love with Trystan Gravelle here - the completely unexpected (though I might have expected it in that I did know he was Welsh) accent here! I thought he'd sound like Henry Collins but he sounds fresh off the set of Gavin and Stacy!

Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.

I'm trying to prove something.
