(The Terror Episode 2, from u/mcsuppes1012 on the terror reddit)

I love everything about their dynamic!

So I need to babble about a contrast I noticed between two 'cold boys in boats' shows: The Terror and The North Water. So, in The North Water, Jack O'Connell is wonderful as ship's surgeon Patrick Sumner.

But, and this is a regretful but, a decision made by his character/the show's writers just straight up *busted* the show for me. He's supposedly (due to complex backstory reasons) addicted to laudanum/opium. Yet, in the third ep, he apparently decides to send *his whole supply* off with someone else, to somewhere else, and, it being the heckin' arctic, therefore loses it. I remember straight-up pausing the show to go rant to my partner "Is it this bitch's first day as a drug addict? He didn't even keep *any* on his person at all times? Come the heck on!"

Where in The Terror, after three years stuck in ice, this absolute madlad, Mr Blanky, still has his tobacco for his last smoke, on his person, at all times:

And gleefully takes it while waiting for the monsterbear to kill him. *That's* a sailor with an addiction I can believe in!

Wish you were here!?!?! No will not be normal about this!

I just have to shout out the sound designers on the Terror. On my rewatch (from 'Horrible from Supper' onwards), I'm really noticing how straight up disturbing the sounds are for some pivotal scenes. The Jirv murder with the off-key song, Jopson's crawling scene (I'm sure there are more but these two spring most immediately). Does anyone know if they used infrasound or some other low-frequency effects? I swear I'm getting the heebie-jeebies from the sounds alone!

WOAH THE FIC IS SO GOOD. You ate everything including the table and chairs! The references, the plot, Tuunbaq, character development?! It’s so amazing!

It has come to my attention that the “under the ice” promotional photos are not well known in the Terror (amc) community

A fact that must be remedied

Also, shameless self-plug:

please read my fizier Zoo AU it’s a spooky and fun WIP and I want to give back to this wonderful community of artists and poets through any way I can ❤️❤️

Look I’m not saying it would fix him. But I think Ned would feel a lot better if he got to have sex with Blanky. So just consider that

I think I've made a connection tonight, me and it. I feel like we got engaged and I want to celebrate... To us! Me and it.

-> 24/∞ CHARACTER DYNAMICS: Blanky and Tuunbaq

I like to think of Blanky befriending Tuunbaq, and bringing him inside like a confused child adopting a feral raccoon.

Crozier by the end of the series:

The gang’s all here 😭
