Sir John Franklin - Blog Posts

mfw I inadvertently give the order to dig my own grave

The scene in The Terror Episode 2 where the last lead party returns (sans Lieut. Gore, plus Silna & her father) and Franklin goes "where's Graham?" When they're still like, 200 metres away makes more sense when you know that the actual Graham Gore, this guy

Was an ABSOLUTE UNIT of a man. Above six-foot in height and broad-built with it too. The actor Tom Weston-Jones, who is lovely and does his best with a limited role, is 6' scratch and just doesn't have the sheer size of the man.

(from a tumblr post of how to pick which one is Gore - he's hat-pompom-guy).

I don't think they changed the script to reflect that it would be hard for Franklin to see that Gore isn't there (given the actor is regular sized) versus it being easy to tell he's not there (the real man was an absolute unit!).

I wish they'd found a big fella to play Graham, rip big sexy, I just love a unit of man in a uniform <3

It's on record with the costume designer that Crozier's uniform is deliberately more worn than JFJ's and Sir John's (it's very obvious in the first episodes - notice how pilly the wool of Crozier's jacket is compared to the others), but in this portrait, you can see a fun little detail - visible mending, and in a place that makes sense!

Good job patching that back up, Jopson. :3

WOAH THE FIC IS SO GOOD. You ate everything including the table and chairs! The references, the plot, Tuunbaq, character development?! It’s so amazing!

It has come to my attention that the “under the ice” promotional photos are not well known in the Terror (amc) community

A fact that must be remedied

Also, shameless self-plug:

please read my fizier Zoo AU it’s a spooky and fun WIP and I want to give back to this wonderful community of artists and poets through any way I can ❤️❤️

Cash cow:

pay pig:

and the third, sexiest option

whore horse:

He’s just trying to be a supportive girlypop.

Crozier: I don’t think you understand the gravity of this situation. We would be committing an act of hubris of which we may not survive.

Sir John’s foolproof plan to find the Passage:

Hey wait a minute…

Tuunbaq waiting under the ice to chomp Sir John’s ass:

You know it’s bad when someone closes the door to yell at you 😬
