Slipping the niblets extra chocolate eggs on the sly

Anyway if you see this you have to reblog and tag with a delight from ur day -- even the littlest thing counts

More Ellies

James Fitzjames

William Gibson

John Smart Peddie

Terror rewatch, ep 1: just noticed it was Collins (as second master) who *sent* Billy Orren up top - specifically to teach another AB his knots! And it's Lieut. Le Visconte (aka Dundy) who won't let Collins try to save Orren after he falls -- notably, it's Collins who knows Orren's name and not Dundy -- perhaps presaging the Lieutenant's callousness about the men later?

Reblog if you’re hoping 1848 will be a fresh start

Been making these little elephants

Decided they're going to be named for Franklin Expedition Personnel.

From top: Graham Gore, John Bridgens, Henry Dundas Le Vesconte (because he's lemony), William Pilkington.

This one is William Orren, of course. (added info in comments)

Aaaaarg tuunbaq attack! Fitzjames & the rockets!!

On my Terror rewatch and Jirv is just so happy when he meets Koveyook & companions. So grateful. I feel like it's the purest emotion we see from him. Also, I didn't notice before that while it's Hodge who meets original Mr Hickey, it's Irving who meets imposter-Hickey! I wonder how much a role Jirv's evangelicalism/non-conformist Christianity made him accept impostor-Hickey at face value even though he's clearly sus af. That born-again instinct to accept people wanting a 'fresh start'. I think it makes the betrayal (that it's specifically Irving gets murdered by impostor-Hickey) more poignant than if it were one of the other Lieuts.

The scene in The Terror Episode 2 where the last lead party returns (sans Lieut. Gore, plus Silna & her father) and Franklin goes "where's Graham?" When they're still like, 200 metres away makes more sense when you know that the actual Graham Gore, this guy

Was an ABSOLUTE UNIT of a man. Above six-foot in height and broad-built with it too. The actor Tom Weston-Jones, who is lovely and does his best with a limited role, is 6' scratch and just doesn't have the sheer size of the man.

(from a tumblr post of how to pick which one is Gore - he's hat-pompom-guy).

I don't think they changed the script to reflect that it would be hard for Franklin to see that Gore isn't there (given the actor is regular sized) versus it being easy to tell he's not there (the real man was an absolute unit!).

I wish they'd found a big fella to play Graham, rip big sexy, I just love a unit of man in a uniform <3

cant stop thinking “edward little moment” whenever something bad happens to me and honestly. affirming

From @leadandblood

Couldn't leave it in the reblog tags, so poignant that they might be having "goodbye dinner" 😭

The Terror Rewatch: episode 3. Does anyone know anything about why they still set Lieut. Gore's place at the wardroom table?

Just seems absolutely peculiar to me that they're setting his place out at the table (nice china & silverware and all) when he's died.
