The Terror is a show that is very near and dear to my heart, mostly because it helped me through a period in my life I will now dub "whoopsie ALL trauma!" In which I was working through a lot of stuff and in all honesty, this show helped shape the way I am today when it comes to writing, romance and more important, how to drive me absolutely nuts.
This whole shrine is dedicated to my...thoughts about it! I have a lot of them and this will probably end up being a dumping ground for things I've done for meta, fics or whatever else I haven't properly sorted into the library yet. Also just, a lot of memes. I need it to cope since all my boys are dead for 207 years and counting
I think the first thing I need to mention is that I think this show broke me, for real. I like media, it's my whole thing at this point, but nos how has brought me to my knees and shot me in the head, Fallout: New Vegas style in...the history of ever. I've tried to get the same feeling from other shows, but this rewired my brain to the point that nothing is the same or like it for me. You know how a beginning and closing shot really make a show? Yeah those uh...well they certainly are something!
It also introduced me to a new way of thinking about both love and tragedy that I never thought about before, which I think is really nice, did I ever think my old man fetish would get worse after reading Moby Dick? Not really, but it fucking did! Francis Crozier? Dr. Stephen Stanley? Oh good G-D it killed me, I could write an entire essay about the latter character because I feel like anaylsis of Crozier is a bit overdone, but yeah.
