For the ask game: least favourite Terror character 🫣😢

Fuuuck, I didn't expect this to be quite so difficult - I've been thinking about it for days!

Honestly? Incredibly unpopular opinion, but my gut-answers are Crozier and Hickey, at least as far as major characters go (as previously mentioned, I sometimes have a hard time engaging with the storylines of certain more minor characters like Sophia and Lady Jane).

Just to be clear, I DO NOT hate Crozier or Hickey. I enjoy thinking about them at great length, I find them to be fantastic, engaging characters, and I very much subscribe to the idea that they can be fantastic and engaging without having to be good people.

But with all that said - FUCK ME, are they not good people, and fuck me do I find that fact so hard to get past sometimes!

#I'm a firm believer that there's a big difference between an explanation and an excuse #The hardships those two characters endure go a long way to explaining their actions but they don't excuse those actions #(And of course I'm well aware that they're far from the only characters who endure hardships and fuck up and do bad things)#I think maybe it's more that they're the two I most commonly see sanded down and woobified beyond recognition despite those bad things #Also see my post from a while ago about forgiveness in relation to the pair of them #Where I state that I don't think Hickey is worthy of forgiveness in the end #But I also don't think Crozier was worthy of thinking he could deny that forgiveness either #That he had any right to hand down that judgement and condemnation #Ooh boy I've definitely overthought this one #Nevertheless I stand by it and am ready to be roasted for it!#The Terror #Asks #Ask Game #Friendos!#Francis Crozier #Cornelius Hickey
