THE TERROR (2018) S01E06 "A Mercy"

- It’s Captain Fitzjames’ Carnivale. - That’s tonight? - Yes, sir. All night. Until the sunrise.

[ac-art-and-stuff]

Gideon Coal is the hearth, the warmth within the home, the steady heat to cook wonderful meals, the beating heart to warm the chill of a soul, the stocked woodshed, the ray of sun through a window. A protector. A guardian. A friend.

Kremy Lecroux is the stew pot, the silverware, the favorite spoon, the homemade bone broth, the smell of spices, the foundation, the walls, keeping his family safe however the wind howls. Keeping his family fed. Keeping his family.

Morning Frost is the books, the smell of sugars breaking down, the turning of dog-eared pages, the little spaces in the margins of recipes where someone has made their little touches, keeping the knowledge for those who come after, for those who are willing to learn, for those who crave to know

Gricko and Hootsie Grimgrin are the music of the home, the soft hoot beyond the window at night, the familiar creak of the floorboards, the hushed lullabies of rain on the roof, the absence of loneliness, always welcoming, always comforting, always soothing, always soft.

Torbek is the devourer, the one who consumes, the one who can appreciate the wholeness of the warmth of a hearth, the taste of a good meal, the pages he knows by heart, the knowing that he isn't alone, even when sometimes he feels himself a stranger in this house. Torbek is home with Carnival Lecroux. Torbek is home.

Loosely based on the Lightning Sprite familiar.

the terror a novel by dan simmons is. Bad. but i do think it was worth reading personally to experience the goodsir medical malpractice extended director's cut, peglar being gay and homophobic while gossiping with bridgens about mr hickey, and every time crozier described fitzjames like he was in a call someone a faggot without actually calling them a faggot competition

Carnivale is the only accurate representation onscreen that i can remember seeing of how to prepare absinthe properly. one of many reasons its one of the best tv shows ever made

I’m sure it was VERY confusing for Gricko those first few hours (and a little confusing for Cinnamon too)

(( @gricko-grimgrin and @opheliajupiter99 for the wonderful being that is Cinnamon))

thinking about the cat seemingly just hanging out in the back of one of christos’s behind the scenes videos. what’s he up to. what’s his story

It's kind of interesting that the god of innovation looks like a dinosaur. Idk if there was any deeper intention behind those design choices besides rule of cool (who doesn't love dinosaurs?) but now I'm thinking, like: Stormcatcher is one of the oldest beings on Sornieth, it makes sense that he looks like an ancient creature, but those aspects of his design take cues from theropods specifically. You know, the things that modern birds evolved from (and still are.) Lightning Flight is all about progress, invention, forward thinking no matter what. Even their region's name, The Shifting Expanse, has more than one meaning: the desert sands shift from one place to another, and these dragons are always adapting their technology and ways of life. So Stormcatcher's design could be interpreted as a bridge between the concepts of "primordial being" and "being of the future". A "missing link", if you will. I think it would be funny if he had feathers.

Anyway thanks to the brilliant @samuelroukin our long national nightmare is over: Henry Collins in AMC's The Terror 2018 was dressed as a jester for Carnivale.

This guy:

Is these guys:

They're fools. Which makes sense when you consider that in the Tarot:

That's right laugh jester!

It's all cocaine and executions downhill from here!

the carnivale sequence in the terror is already one of the best parts of the show but it would've been even better if it'd had an unsettling dreamlike dance scene
