I thought I was doing right. I’m the worst kind of sorry, sir.
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.
the thing is hickey really could make himself nonbinary if he wanted to. it would only be like, a 5 hour mind project for him
went to the obgyn today and got an ultrasound 🥰 welcome back HMS Erebus
hands in the terror
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
he/him butch crozier has escaped the pack ice of tumblr and is now trekking across the barren shale of twitter
dont interrupt his quiet reading time

why did no one tell me that the eye peglar draws in his journal is the tattoo bridgens has on his arm.
