The fact is our inhibitions – that is, our higher thinking abilities – are as much a part of us as our raw red lizard brain reactions. That’s what having choice, or agency, means. And morality is always in the choice. The scene that shows us this most strongly re: Crozier, and how alcohol interferes with his decision-making process, is the one where he suggests throwing Silna to the wolves. He is absolutely shitfaced when he says this, so much so that even the people who are in his life who already know him to be an alcoholic are becoming increasingly concerned. This is the worse thing he ever does. If he’d actually gone through with it, it would have been unforgivable. But every single man also in that room tells him no, even though he outranks them all. Blanky especially seems about five minutes away from committing mutiny right then and there (and I do think he’d do it; Blanky doesn’t bluff). More and more I think this scene is actually the hinge on which the whole story rests. Because what follows next is his impetus for getting sober for good: Blanky almost dies, and if he had then he would have done so estranged from his oldest friend, his opinion of him destroyed. It’s a big enough deal that Crozier is willing to risk death (alcohol withdrawal can and does kill people regularly) to dry out. 

I also think this is one of the few shows to take us through Crozier’s withdrawal in a way that forces you to face the physical agony of that process. It’s so intimate seeing Crozier in his bunk, weak and broken, having puked his guts out for days if not a week or more, begging Jopson to tell him a story. (The book did a decent job with this storyline as well, although the show does it better, IMO.)

Contrast that scene/plot line with that first time in Mad Men when Don decides to drink less. IIRC, all you get from the Mad Men ep (The Summer Man? Mid-s4, anyway) is a few moments where Don’s out of breath or his hands shake or he watches Team Creative pouring whiskey and fixates on it. But we never get the reality of seeing him as a shambling, puking mess due to withdrawal - that’s supposedly all symptomatic of the drinking itself, earlier in the season. And these symptoms mysteriously go away when Don decides to “do better” - he backslides, of course, but we don’t see him physically suffer in withdrawal until s6 or so. It’s not presented as immediate cause and effect.

The Terror shows you immediate cause and effect. Francis is counting down his whiskey stores from episode 3 on; that’s our clock. By ep 5, he’s stone drunk, but also already sick with withdrawal from the slight rationing alone. The Terror shows our story’s hero as a broken, drunken fragment of a man, and still has him make the choice to dry out because it’s what was morally right.

test: pet her, tell her she is a good moss ball

-the amount of porn bots mass reblogging this bc of the word ‘ball’

-the amount of people with extensive knowledge about native moss ball habitats and care coming out of the woodwork to reply to this post 

It’s what I had already expected would happen but it’s still disheartening to see someone so openly behave like some sort of 21st century chatroom equivalent of a cranky spoiled princess. Still, I know that there are people who were able to read through the entire thing and it makes me glad to know that the sentiments I voiced in it are shared by others :)
