i have got to say, the lieutenant choices for terror look like they were pulled from the demographic of most dysfunctional thirty-somethings in naval service like you’ve got edward “undiagnosed clinical depression” little, john “gay and homophobic” irving and hodgson, who you think is painfully average until you dig deep enough to discover the vast barrage of religious issues he keeps buried under his wispy and vaguely triangular hairdo

meanwhile on erebus they have to make do with prematurely graying reformed mid-victorian fuckboy dundy, whose most discernible personality trait is being that aunt who goes straight for the buffet table at every quinceañera, because everybody else they hired is dead

#lmfao THANK YOU this is what ive been SAYING#the terror#lieutenants larry curly and moe#the dysfunctional mediocre middle management dream team#like they’re Doing Their Best but theyre just not cut out for this extreme a situation and it’s sad but also very funny#& god yeah dundy is the funniest character on the show precisely because of this#gore seemed good….rip. still have no idea who fairholme was#side note i love that the characters who show the most competence and dedication to the crew (jopson bridgens hartnell etc.)#are initially much lower on the chain of command and aren’t even from the social class that would be on the officer career track#(even blanky is a master not an officer) (x)
