Y'all ever think about Goodsir, Fitzjames, and Blanky?

Y'all ever think about those three characters in a show about every kind of consumption under the sun - physical, mental, emotional consumption, being eaten up by the landscape, by your own demons, by your fellow man. Those characters who don't resist it in the end?

Who die, in fact, with the express intention of being consumed?

I think about them. Not coherently, but I think about them.

#The Terror #The Terror AMC #No coherence only vibes tonight #Harry Goodsir #James Fitzjames #Thomas Blanky #There are a lot of little contrasts in how they do so too #Fitzjames dies with the intention of saving the lives of others by allowing them to consume him #Goodsir dies with the intention of taking the lives of others by allowing them to consume him #Whereas Blanky's a little bit of both - he intends to try to take Tuunbaq's life in order to save his fellow men #Fitzjames and Blanky allow themselves to be consumed when they know they're dying anyway #Goodsir is dying too of course but he specifically takes his own life first in order to be consumed #I feel like there are very much themes of identity and self-actualisation at play too #There's still a lot to unpack #Observations #Random Observations #Meta
