Terror s1 sideblog - Irving/Jopson anon - queer - they/he - 30+

and I would make 5000 posts

Three years ago, I thought to myself, "The Terror grabbed me more than I thought it would, huh. I should make a sideblog so I can post about Jopving to a receptive audience without spamming my unsuspecting non-Terror mutuals. It'll be fun for a few months."

This fandom has cheered me through quite a few life changes since then. I'm quieter now but still having a great time enjoying all the enthusiasm – particularly for the ongoing influx of new rarepairs! We're a creative bunch.

If you're new or have been away, check out the blog archive, featuring recommended tags such as John Irving, Jopson appreciation, shitposts (affectionate), and my own fanworks (fic also available on AO3).

you know everyone talks about collins' "hey, don't be sad. have you tried cocaine?" scene but one of my all time favorite terror (2018) scenes is when collins randomly asks if stanley's daughter loves birds after seeing a sketch he'd done of her and his wife, but there are no birds on the paper??? and then later dave k told fans that there WAS meant to be a bird on the paper but then no one on set could draw a bird. and they just. didn't change the dialogue. it makes collins look like a slightly manic but well-meaning bird enthusiast

i recall that there had been a bird drawing but dave k said that it looked too freaky, he couldn't even describe it properly it was just ghastly and completely unusable and not something that stanley would draw, clearly a case of miscomm between his instructions and the props department (one among many, including the childish looking pirate maps), so ultimately he just nixed that shot but couldn't change the script as the scene had already been filmed

my apologies if i didn't name your boy in this poll. there are literally 129 of them and only 12 spaces on a tumblr poll, so i just named the ones i could think of right now who i see the most content about and who i think somebody could feasibly write a decent romance novel about. ALSO crozier isn't named bc the whole show is already about him </3

imo the only correct interpretation of possible friendships between the stewards on the terror is that can’t stand her fake ass / ten minutes later / me and the bestie meme

I've been thinking about it and I don't know whether or not Blanky would be down to eat people on the Franklin expedition but I'm sure he was down to eat John Ross in 1832. He wouldn't even need to be starving he'd just need a speck of plausible deniability and he'd be roasting that man over a fire out of spite alone
