sometimes i think about “this place wants us dead” and how it’s such an obvious example of foreshadowing, but it still ends up subverted in some way. like really think about it. the place doesn’t kill them, not really. they bring the diseases and the sickness with them. the lead is already in the cans before they leave. the food was already rotten. even tuunbaq is a man-made creature, not a bear like they originally think. it’s just. it’s not the place not really. the tragedy is that they were already doomed. they were doomed before stepping on their ships and they were doomed before they even reached the arctic and they were doomed before they even got stuck in the ice. she’s been dead since the beginning etc etc. i also think it’s so interesting that it’s also the remnants of colonialism that kills them. obviously james’ bullet wound is the obvious one but also the act of hubris in of itself. the fact that they think that they can last with their supplies. maybe the land does want them dead. maybe they were already dead. idk

I'm obsessed with a lot of Terror characters but Silna and Goodsir really are unique in that I love every version of whatever was going on between them, and honestly, I feel like anything could've been. They could've been lovers who never expressed it but did but didn't, they could've been the closest friends either had, they could've understood each other on a level few if any others did and had to be close from that, they could've been siblings, they could've wished for better circumstances in which things could've been even better between them, they could've only been brought together because of worse circumstances, etc.
