Your Two Disaster Uncles Reminiscing About The Good Times While The Horrors Loom:

Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.

I'm trying to prove something.

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?

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!

There's just something magic about doing a The Terror rewatch starting with episode 10 (we are gone) and going straight back to episode 1 (go for broke). You get to see everyone all happy and professional and working. Especially lovely to see Mr Collins and Lieutenant Little actually *doing* their jobs. My babies are prospering (let's ignore what's going to happen)

I made a baby beanie that looks like a pumpkin. I'm getting three new cuzlings (the children of my cousins) this year and so the babies need pumpkin beanies!

I think I caught that sound change too! Also, in the final two episodes, even the wind and the rocks sound a bit different! Not to dox myself, but I've spent time in very windswept 'barren' places (southern hemisphere, and sand & small shrubs, rather than rocks) and there's different 'tones' the wind makes at certain times that give the creepy creepy feels. I think they used the 'creepy creepy' wind not the normal wind more in the last two episodes! And they changed the tent flapping a bit too (probably because the tents were getting worn out).

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!

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

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