Terror re-rewatch, episode 1. Really struck this time round by the contrast in 'manner' between Mr Goodsir (I'm using the mister here for a reason) and Dr Stanley. The historical men had different training (hence Mr - a designation of someone *without* a degree in medicine vs Dr) but also vastly different *experiences*. Dr Stanley was a war surgeon (after his training as a doctor), and per history as well as in Fitzjames' own story in the show, he served in a combat theatre, being the one who saved Fitzjames' life after the Chinese sniper wound. I think that really informs the clever choice they made to cast such an austere looking fella as Alistair Petrie and how he acts -- this is a character that's seen *a lot* of death, and has a requisite coldness about it when David Young is dying. It really contrasts him to Goodsir, who trained as an anatomist and doesn't have a medical degree (and this is his first voyage/service as a surgeon) - how much death has Goodsir actually seen? How much does that inform how 'clumsy but caring' he acts with David Young? So interesting.
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'm trying to prove something.
Jopson, Dundy & JFJ get an entire fully stocked fashion designer's atelier with fabrics & trims & buttons! Bridgens visits sometimes when he's not working the library with his Harry (Peglar ships' tattoo artist?)
who else has comforting fix-it like scenarios about the terror/the coldboys that their brain’s invented and they like to think about sometimes, because im getting dangerously close to posting mine unprompted
cant stop thinking “edward little moment” whenever something bad happens to me and honestly. affirming
Will never not giggle at Nedward's "happy birthday :)"
i am completely fine in an “i have been mentally unwell for years” kinda way
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?
