THE TERROR ▸ 1.09 the c, the c, the open c

good evening to you all and welcome to cockmojo where tonight we will be counting down my personal top ten terror cocks

those unaffiliated with footyblr may be unfamiliar with the term cock as it’s being used here: all will become clear in time

special mention before we start to the netsilik hunter (sexy man, deserved a name and some screentime) james clark ross but only in the first episode when he’s all rugged and his beard’s grown out, and mr blanky, who, much like knife dad, fuccs like a broken train but he runs on time if you know what i mean

in a very respectable tenth place finish, billy gibson. i didn’t see the vision until 1. it was pointed out to me that he looks a lot like pau torres, who is himself very cockable, and 2. i rewatched the scene where he breaks up with hickey. known shagger, massive hater, a very pointy nose, he’s scraped a place on this list.

a surprise entry at ninth is john irving. inarguably cute in a sort of late 2000s british indie band bassist way, and while i’m not sure i could fix him (he probably needs a man for that) i do think i would have fun trying. ultimately he’s not higher because he’s kind of annoying and his eyebrows piss me off.

representing the dilves at eighth is doctor macdonald. he’s entrancing to me he has this vibe of like gentle paternal indulgence... like even if you were annoying he’d be very fond of you. and i need that. when he said “i’d like to run that man through” and rubbed his eyes and looked so tired, i really felt something. the crow’s feet, the widow’s peak, the hair, yes!!

doing it for the feminists, in seventh we have harry goodsir. the loveliest guy on the expedition until he goes nastymode, and i’m fully on board with both versions. this picture was chosen for a reason and it’s bc his long curly hair full beard miserable expression era was simply unbeatable. unfortunately, and this is maybe the most insane thing i’ve ever said about a man, or at least top ten, when his half eaten corpse was laid out face down, and it had noticeable back hair, i got the ick. just to add insult to injury :/

i’m as surprised as you are that he’s not higher, number six, james fitzjames! he is my pretty pretty princess. nails, hair, hips, heels. high femme queen in his cunty little outfits ordering the men around. i want to brush his hair, one hundred strokes minimum. i think this is less sexual than some others on this list, it’s more appreciation. but my god do i appreciate him.

stay alive, number five, it’s thomas jopson. most beautiful haunted doll in the arctic, but that pretty face is covering up a seriously compelling #WeirdGuy underneath. all the shiny hair in the world can’t hide an obsession with his boss that in the modern era would be getting him a very serious meeting with HR. what a character, servicetopson you rock my world. but at the end of the day he loses points because i hate the beard. garrigan looks great with a beard in other stuff, i really don’t know why the scurvybeard was so foul. terror hair and makeup department GET IT TOGETHER. 

number phwoar, henry collins is here! he’s big he’s sweet he’s deeply mentally unstable he needs a cuddle and we’ve all seen that gif of him in aliens. would love to make him a really nice cup of tea (seems like a two sugars man), pet his hair as he rests his head in my lap, then fuck up my hip flexors. 

and now... we enter our top three. who’s made it to the prestigious cock podium?

first up, the winner of our bronze cock medal, which presumably he’ll be flogging for an unreasonable price to someone he’s assured it’s solid gold, “cornelius hickey”! people will bitch and moan about how he’s a violent lunatic who’s killed people like i’m not a cuti romero stan 🙄 i can see beyond that, my third eye is firmly open. the potential for a fun toxic relationship is absolutely off the charts bc that’s the only kind he has. and he’s very pretty when he cries. i can forgive a lot of crimes for a man whose nose entrances me.

in second place, such a close runner up, i have to award this honour to edward little. a pedestrian choice, you might think, if you don’t know the lore. i couldn’t fully explain my feelings towards this secondary character who’s not especially exciting on first watch when i started the show until i googled his actor... although i lacked the words to express this at the time i was cocking this man when i was 13 and he first appeared in misfits with a stupid neck tattoo and a horrible suit, and i cock him again now. this is a cock that’s followed me all my life, even though i forgot he existed for about a decade in between. who else can truly say they’ve EARNED a spot on my list like he has? he’s sad, he’s sopping wet, i could make him cry extremely easily. mwah

and finally...

number one. it had to be him, it was always going to be him. solomon tozer, take a bow and i’ll take ten cranberry pills. sol is thee top cock for so many reasons and chief among them is versatility. whatever you need he can be it. handsome soldier boy in a fancy red uniform that shows off his trim little waist? COCK! hostile violent mutineer throwing his life away in a rebellion? COCK! broken man inducted into a cult who cries about it? COCK!!! sexiest man in the damn arctic i know he was beating the boys off with a stick. there is a certain level of sexiness a man can reach where nothing he does is an ick, and i knew he’d reached that for me once i saw him in that insanely stupid hat at sir john’s funeral and didn’t give a fuck. call him tom jones the way he can leave his hat on. keep thotting it up in heaven/hell king i miss you every day. i know it was huge. my heart hurts.

“Perhaps Not“

Hear me out.

Once upon a time there was a Netsilik hunter called Koveyook, travelling with his family. He's just made a new friend! His new friend very hungry and a very pretty. The hunter and his friend exchange gifts! Precious food for precious wonders.

And now, Koveyook's new friend has told him to stay put while he runs off in distress.

Mmmm, thinks Koveyook. Perhaps not.

💜💙💖 for the unpopular opinions asks

💜: Which character is way hotter than everyone else seems to think?

I'll have to agree with @leadandblood and say John Morfin. truly a fine-looking cold boy and i never see any thirst for him here!!!

💙: Which character is not as hot as everyone else seems to think?

this is hard for me, i find them all so pretty. my first reaction to the question was jfj sorry :-/ but well this is specifically an unpopular opinions ask game so. also gore. he's good-looking obviously but i'd struggle to call him *hot* because honestly he's just too nice and that's not hot *to me* (see: my url).

💖: What is your biggest unpopular opinion about the series?

i wish we had seen hickeygibson hit it raw on-screen. stanvoeux too. honestly so many others as well. wait who said that.

so, i understand this happened due to the story being told mainly through the point of view of the british, but i do wish we had gotten the names of more of the inuit characters- if i am not mistaken, the only ones who were named were Silna and Koveyook? I wish we had gotten names for the Netsilik Hunter and Silna's father. Even if only in the scripts, I think it would have been good. not sure it's an unpopular opinion though, sorry.

So after these recent two posts, here’s my first attempt to add some Inuktitut subtitles to The Terror, fittingly starting from the start. 

I struggled with this a bit, since my own studies have been on Kalaallisut (the dialect of Inuit spoken in Greenland), and I may not have got this quite right, but I thought I’d give it a shot. I’m very happy to be corrected!  I have done a bit more but I’ll start with this for now.

Isumata.ngu.juq taku.nni.laur.łuni Aglukkar.mik una

Leader.be.3s-INDICATIVE see.ANTI-PASSIVE.PAST.4s-CONTEMPORATIVE Aglukkaq-INSTRUMENTAL that-one

I can’t quite match the grammar to the Interpreter’s translation, which is why I’m still not 100%, and also the final word I’m not sure about either. 

One other thing following up from the question in the posts above re Silna. Whereas she more clearly appears to be speaking Netsilik dialect, the Netsilik Hunter’s dialogue actually appears to be a different dialect, more like “standard” Inuktitut from a more eastern dialect. Notably the “s” is pronounced (whereas Netsilik lacks “s”, using “h”). This may be because Nive Nielsen was a Greenlander making a more conscious effort to imitate what was a foreign dialect to her, whereas Johnny Issaluk was already a native Inuktitut speaker and it was felt that he should just speak his native dialect (presumably from Chesterfield Inlet where he was raised). Speculation on my part.  Distance between Gjoa Haven and Chesterfield Inlet shown below.

frustrated that the netsilik man that ross talks with at the beginning of ep 1 doesnt have a name

Thinking about how in episode seven of The Terror, Irving introduces himself to the Netsilik hunters as “Lieutenant John Irving of Her Majesty’s Royal Navy”, but when he’s not sure the Netsilik understand him, he steps closer and says “John. My name is John.” He sounds desperate, and obviously he is desperate for food, but you also get the sense that he’s dying to be acknowledged outside of his rank. When Koveyook repeats “John” back to him, he gets this almost dreamy smile on his face and says again “John”, and then his expression looks as though he is remembering something he had forgotten. Of course Irving is thrilled he’s managed to communicate with the Netsilik, but he’s equally as happy that for a few minutes he can be just John again. He can slough off the title that he’s always had to be so defensive of, and that never suited him much anyway.
