funniest line in terror scripts gotta be ep3 with james and francis in the cabin after johns death..😭 "Fitzjames looks away, not used to being this vulnerable in front of someone he doesn't respect."

That latest script has me thinking again about the Crozier and Little’s relationship (although in all fairness, I’m never not thinking about it in some capacity). 

We get to see several lovely moments of Capable and Competent Little in the background, of course, already getting on with managing the actual day-to-day running of the ship. He knows Crozier and his bullshit so well at this point that it’s he who asks Jopson to find out whether said bullshit is going to postpone their command meeting (which implies that it has in the past). And he’s already considering and making plans to move Terrors over to berth on Erebus - if I remember correctly, in fact, that entire plot point happens without a single bit of direct input from Crozier. 

What I’m living for most though is that tiny little omitted scene where he’s just that wee bit sassy and defiant right to Crozier’s face. The unsuccessful search/rescue parties are returning to the ship when Little informs Crozier that Fitzjames has come aboard in his absence. Crozier is so churlish and so wrapped up in his own hatred and pettiness and inferiority complex that his first response genuinely is to ask why Fitzjames didn’t come out to help them search!

Like, seriously?!  And Little agrees! He replies to Crozier saying that, for his information, Fitzjames actually did offer to go out searching (because of course he did), and that it was Little who took charge and told him not to! That “It was I who told him we shouldn’t risk both captains”.

I love that confidence so much and dearly wish we’d gotten to see it more often and more explicitly! Because it’s so above and beyond too - he’s not only having to do Crozier’s job for him already but he’s also now having to wrangle Fitzjames’ worst, most heroic tendencies. He’s doing the job of not one but two captains in that moment and he’s not bloody happy about it! I’m going to articulate some better thoughts about this and how it pertains to their wider relationship in the future but for now just wanted to express my appreciation for this little titbit.

you know the terror's characters are based on real people because otherwise no one in their right mind would write a serious conversation between two characters named sir john, in which they discuss the fate of a third character, also named sir john

#reading this scene like god no wonder i was confused. is there anyone here that isnt sir john #in the 1800s they only had 3 white man names. yk how it is #the terror #the terror amc #and yes i'm reading the scripts.... #i couldnt immediately rewatch so i decided reading the scripts was more normal #you agree

continually haunted by the deleted scene from the terror scripts where a modern day archeologist finds jopson's skeleton. it would have interrupted the flow of the episode if it was kept in but god. what a fucking concept

#gene.txt #the terror #theres a larger post here abt the flexibility of time in the terror scripts #and how book crozier's foresight is distributed among tv characters at their point of death #but im abt to start my shift lol lets shelve that thought for a few hours

#stede wandering off into the forest to look at bugs was not on the schedule or any of izzys contingency schedules #new thing i think would fix izzy: a clear fucking plan #in the nebulous reunion timeline future i see izzy researching every port town they are gonna stop in HARD so he can figure out everywhere #stede + ed might possibly want to go and plan several routes for the day to keep himself calm in the inevitable chaos #(and yet somehow every time stede finds something he missed and they still go off script anyway) #(he tries to go separately around port from them one time and its a fucking disaster; someone gets stabbed; so he just resigns himself to #incredibly stressful port stops) #its not like stede + ed mean to do it!! theyre both awful for it individually and they just feed off each other #its ok because theyre very good at letting izzy have the deck Exactly how he wants it and scheduling as much big picture stuff as they can #with him #(when stede realises theyve been the cause of like. 65% of izzys stress they finally agree to let him redo the rigging as an apology and #they suddenly realise watching him buy the supplies that hes just as bad as them in his own way) #(he absolutely terrorizes the rope guy but they have never seen him so relaxed as when he was up there redoing all the lines) #nyxtalks #ofmd #izzy hands #israel hands #stede bonnet #you can pry autistic izzy away from my cold dead hands

i love that david k's q&a revealed what crozier and fitzjames were yelling at each other after blankey left the room. cuz it was jfj trying to get crozier to admit he has a drinking problem and angry drunk crozier going for the jugular

jfj: "We both know what is happening with you and I came to discuss it, as a friend!"

crozier: "That word is alien here! You don't have friends, James, you have admirers! That I am not one has always chafed you!"

#you all probably already know about this but I'm new to the show #i know we can't post pics of the scripts but it said it could be discussed so i think this is ok #the terror #david k q&a #fitzier #jurassic-cunt

Blog PSA, Life PSA, and a Word of Advice

I’m so busy today packing and will likely be busy through the weekend as well.

Sorry if you sent me asks and I’m not replying. Please know it’s because I want to wait until I can give a thoughtful reply. But I’ll be on for short bursts even if I can’t write full pieces for a little bit.

But also

I’m so annoyed that I’m so busy because all I wanna do is talk about how I completely organized a labor revolt at work and how HR and my Big Boss were powerless to stop it and my Immediate Boss was cheering me on.

Moral of the story: SUPPORT UNIONS. JOIN UNIONS.

And if you’re in a “right-to-work” state, try engaging in collective action anyway, in small ways.

#all I wanna do is talk about this #blog PSA #union strong #seeing that man have to read from a script so he didn’t get in trouble with HR again was a life highlight tbh #now let’s hope we all get even more money #the day is long and full of terrors #but sometimes you wound the monster #and the story gets good

[saints-who-never-existed]

No one touch me! No one look at me! Wee Thomas Evans helps Mr Diggle with the ships biscuits and shapes them like moons and stars! Strong comments on them right before he goes up on watch! It’s the last conversation they ever get to have and I simply cannot cope!

Just a laundry list of stuff from the Terror scripts that doesn’t nearly get as talked about as much as it should and I’m going to make it everyone else’s problem

The way that neptune’s shit in front of hickey is LITERALLY a revenge shit. Puppy knew puppy always knew- but also how neptune is so beautifully and carefully tied into scenes like. The script loved this dog. So fucking much ("we put up with it because the captain loves it" DAMN RIGHT!!!! THATS HIS DOOOOOOG).

As much as I hate these bitches: that extended scene with Sir John and Lady Jane???? Him in bed with the flu and they are literally the picture of casual tenderness and affection and I might never recover from it. He literally asks her to stowaway like I CANNOT with that shit it’s so unbelievably cute. "I'm ill, Jane" will haunt me forever.

Sofia’s “you should marry a pole, not a woman”??? YYYYYYYOWCH

Also the change your jacket before you come down to dinner bit to Francis that was carried over from the book makes me go insane. Yes. Change your whole self to make yourself presentable to good society and then you can be with us. Yeah. Sooo fucking normal (I am yanking that man away from Sofia with my fucking teeth on the scruff of his neck).

Also. The Pelgar Bridgens romance. Is so real. Show gets so subtle with it I read it as a storge kinda bromance first go around but script loved these two guys being in love so much and it was beautiful that it was literally written queer love from the get go. And put up against Hickey and Gibson it’s a stark and beautiful and TRAGIC as fuck contrast. Like show showed it well but the way it was actually written is ascendant to me.

JFJ being at home in combat. Jesus fucking christ. And the crown of thorns. Jesus was a man riddled with scurvy and his name was james fitzjames. also the splinter thing he literally carries the ship with him in the most painful way possible. christ alive.

#I still have to get through terror camp clear but I think I'm going to cry if I read the cairn scene so I've avoided it thus far #but anyway #I've been sitting on these for a while and I just need to talk #also sofia fucking jokerfied me like god damn lady #the terror #the terror scripts #francis crozier #james fitzjames #sofia cracroft #sir john franklin #lady jane franklin #Henry Pelgar #John Bridgens #edward little #neptune #LIKE REALLY!!!!! I do love how this script really loves everybody in it for better or worse #anyways that's all I got for now will report back with more later perhaps

In ep 8, there's a deleted scene from the script after Francis says "That only makes you a man, James" to James' confession.

When James goes "Does it?" he continues to ask what sort of man? and asks Francis if he would have accepted a position which he knew himself he isn't qualified for and then a (realizing) and says: "But you've not had that luxury. I know."

And then in the description it says that Francis had been waiting years for someone to acknowledge that, but now that it's come, he's past it and then says the line about political luck/not a dearth of courage.
