rotating in my mind a closeted trans woman Jopson who pursued a career as a steward because it's the closest she can get to living the Victorian conception of a woman as homemaker and caretaker (which, I think, would be how she thinks about womanhood) while staying in the bounds of respectability & then was thrust out of that role by a promotion she did not want. & took up the role of caretaker of the house when her mother couldn't and watched her mother die under her care. & "I don't like to hear a woman laughing anymore" from someone who is privately a woman

the combination of the captain of a ship being positioned as a father to his men and the harsher punishment crozier orders for hickey being one specifically designed for children makes me feel crazy

people tend to be slightly unfair to Franklin just because he sucks as a person and as a captain. like insisting he's the worst at sex - you don't want to see him fuck, and I don't want to see him fuck, but that doesn't mean the guy whose married to lady jane & whose one skill is keeping spirits up is like, bad at it. we just don't want to see it is all
#I think he would be better at sex than crozier#Though perhaps I am influenced by the Terror 2007 pond sex in this opinion#I could write a better sex scene than Dan Simmons

Hickey is such camp character on a meta level like. throwing an original character whose an amoral gay knifemurderer who amorally knifemurders his way into the narrative and is constantly getting a scheme on (all unsuccessful) into your generally grounded historical drama with magical realist horror elements is such a deeply camp move. and on a narrative level everything hickey did on that stupid little boat out on the shale was also deeply camp
