Would it be fucked up to say Corporal Hedges?

What’s my reputation?

YES IT FUCKING WOULD BE

[solomontoaster]

For the ask thing you just rebloged could you do the terror?

001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:

Favorite character: Oh this is hard. There are a lot of characters I love. I feel like I cycle between favorites in a sort of, “Who am I fixated on right now?” kind of way. And that tends to be a revolving door of Fitzjames, Ross, Tozer and Jopson. Right now it’s on Jopson.

Least Favorite character: My gut instinct is to say EC/Hickey, the show did a great job of salvaging his character from the book, but he still leans too much into predatory stereotypes for me to be entirely comfortable. 

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Only five.... hmmmmmmmmm.  Tozer/Fitzjames for sure; I’m always down for Ross/Crozier (and adjacently Ross/Crozier/Fitzjames); Fitzjames/Crozer it’s the big one, but there’s good reason for it; Tozer/Irving is also choice; and listen I love a wide variety of Jopson ships, but right now Jopson/Grimaud (a crossover ship with Matthew McNulty’s character from BBC’s Musketeers) is where I’m dying in rarepair hell thanks to @bluebacchus. 

Character I find most attractive: *starts playing Boys by Lizzo* Tozer is honestly the first person coming to mind. I would like to hug him very much.

Character I would marry: I mused on this in a previous ask and said Fitzjames, but I think if my options were open to everyone, I’d probably go with Tozer again. Does he make the best choices, no, but neither do I. Also, again with the hugging. I’m touch starved and he seems like he’d give good and frequent hugs.

Character I would be best friends with: Peglar probably, we would bond over books and being gay.

A random thought: I really adore the care and world building that goes into people’s various AUs. Like the background world building of @bluebacchus‘s incredible Chili’s AU or the really sexy academia AU. 

An unpopular opinion: I don’t know that I have any unpopular opinions. I really love the wide range of different headcanons that are floating around. Maybe liking stuff with Sir John, I know he’s easy to hate on and he’s not the most likable character, but he’s still a really good and complex character and I’ve got a weakness for well written Sir John fic, rare as it is.

My Canon OTP: Bridgens/Peglar, they’re perfect, next question.

My Non-canon OTP: I honestly don’t know that I have another OTP for the Terror, cause I multi-ship so readily in this fandom.

Most Badass Character: Blanky. His scene in the rigging with the Tuunbaq? The John Ross boat axe story? Iconic.

Most Epic Villain: It’s difficult I think to generalize a “villain” of the Terror, because there’s so much that is responsible for landing them in the situation that ultimately kills them, from the Admiralty back home to Hickey’s mutiny at the end. But I think I gotta say the Tuunbaq, it’s again, a more complicated antagonist that just a “villain,” but it’s definitely the most Epic antagonist imo and seeing various fandom portrayals has been really cool. I like what @ceilingninja has done in their Bowl of Oranges universe.

Pairing I am not a fan of: Crozier/Silna, cannot stand. It’s book canon, but D*mmons is fucking gross and he writes them in a really gross and racist way (Crozier being like 50 and Silna being under 18 at the beginning of the book and just barely 18 at the end) and nothing will ever make me read fic of them.

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Well D*mmons fucked up just about everyone, cause he said research who? But Fitzjames and Irving I think caught the brunt of that along with Hickey. The only thing that at all saved them was the show runners. I am a bit sad that they didn’t get as explicit with Bridgens/Peglar as they did with Hickey/Gibson in the show. I hadn’t realized they were meant to be a canon couple until I read the book. I’m not saying we needed to go all the way to boning, but a bit more than a hand kiss would have been nice. Still, both ships are way better handled in the show than in the book, which I yell about in my review of the book.

Favourite Friendship:  Tozer and Heather, it’s just so *clenches fist* tender.

Character I most identify with: Edward Little. We are both full of anxiety, depression and not feeling up to leadership, we’d get along great.

Character I wish I could be: Given the Terror, the question may as well be “how do you want to die on a failed Arctic expedition?” I was very torn between Tartnell and Peglar, but I think I’m gonna go with Peglar, because that one comes with a husband.

With you by my side I can take on the world - Nedving

He rushes from the terrace, howling laughter at his heels, and his cravat turning into claws against his neck. Into a rope, into hands that choke him.

He cannot breathe.

Futile he pulls at the slippery silk, eyes hazy with tears now and there are heavy steps behind him on the flagstones. He’s being followed. God, he’s being followed! They’ll be done with him quick, he can barely stand.

“Irving,” a rough voice calls, thick with cigar smoke. The steps hurry behind him and he stumbles. “Irving!” He gasps, but the cravat has pulled so tight around his throat that he can’t get any air.

“John,” close by his shoulder now and a warm hand descends on his shoulder like Damocles’ sword. He is turned around like a puppet, limbs shaking and weak. “Let me help you,” the man says to John’s cravat and deftly unravels the tight knot. A warm, calloused thumb brushes John’s adam’s apple as the man pulls the cravat and collar loose around John’s throat. He can smell cigar smoke, a spicy scent beneath that. A very familiar scent. “Edward?”

“Aye. Are you hurt, John? Sick?”

Treats, or how John Irving spends his summer with George Hodgson

Summer had come in full force and Hodgson had invited Irving to stay a few weeks with him. The house did tend to get lonely with just him and the dogs and he was glad to have company. It was different, talking to a man of his station, than rambling on at the valet or maid when they went about their work, too well-trained to tell Hodgson that he was in the way. And the dogs made for good listeners, but bad conversational partners.

So Hodgson was standing on the front stairs, garden path spilling to the gate from the tips of his shoes, as the carriage pulled up and deposited John Irving like a particularly well-liked parcel. He couldn’t help the little laugh that echoed off the windows. Irving grinned up at him, hat askew on his head. He looked well, healthy, and tanned from the African sun. "John Irving! How was the trip?" The dogs disengaged from Hodgson’s trousers and ran circles around Irving, yapping and wagging their tails. Irving set his bags down and rubbed their velvety ears, still grinning up at Hodgson. "George Hodgson. Well, thank you.”

Read the rest on AO3!

An ocean of their own making - Hodgson/Irving

"Tired?" John stands and pushes his chair in. His hands are white-knuckled around the back of it. He’s staring at the seat. They have time, so George sits quietly and waits for John to come to him. For him to clear his throat and flex his hands and open his mouth. John never disappoints. He looks up from contemplating the seat of his chair, eyes dark and troubled and brow drawn. He looks like some wretch George would expect on his doorstep on a stormy night. God, he would invite him in.

"George," John says, voice thick, "I’m tired." "Then let’s get to bed, I dare say!" "God give me strength," John says to his chair and then marches out of the room. George hears him enter their room and stands. Follows.

follow the link like hodgson follows irving for the rest of this filth. it’s mature, so mind that if you mind that.
