Hickey: We have your son.

Crozier: I don’t have a son?

Hickey: Then who just served us warm milk and cut the crusts off our sandwiches?

Crozier: Holy shit, you have Jopson.

"one stone cold motherfucker who'll tuck you in bed and then key the neigbour's car for being too loud" that's him. that's my son.

i’d die for tom jopson. for me, he’s the embodiment of chaotic good. but we basically see him from francis’ pov in the show, and edward’s pov in (most) fics, who both think he’s a literal angel. he just opens his big bright eyes very wide and bats his lashes, then volunteers to joyfully hang a man. I stan.

It’s endearing when, in the right writer’s hands, he’s characterized as this cherubic apple-cheeked babey, but he’s not. He’s sharp and tough and I think has a very polarized worldview, which is based on a myriad of violent and dangerous experiences belied by the apparent innocence of his face. What he believes in, he throws himself behind completely—and here’s the important thing. He’s not innately moral. His morals align with who or what he allies himself with. I think he’s the embodiment of chaotic good as long as Crozier is doing good; he’s a henchman and enabler when not. And if he didn’t have Crozier, who knows who he’d be? That’s what’s exciting and dangerous about him, and why I have shipped him and will continue to ship him in AUs in which Crozier is not a factor.

I agree with you, @ferylcheryl.  Though Jopson’s love for and devotion to Francis are without question, and Jopson, I think, strives to be correct in manner and action, Jopson is still an, my favorite word, ambivalent figure. My favorite way of reading The Terror is through its negative space, through its reflections: what we are not told about a character or situation, or what we are told through a mirror, backwards and perhaps a bit distorted, but still intelligible.  We don’t know a lot about Jopson- though, actually, far more than we do about a lot of the characters- and I believe that what we’re told, and more to the point, shown is significant.  A lot of it doesn’t seem to add up.  Or, it does, but what it amounts to is fascinating and poses more questions than answers.

Cut for discussion of addiction.

@zehstern tagged me to list two truths about me and one lie and let you guys figure out which is which! Thanks for tagging me! Here goes:

1. I’m part of a belly-dancing troupe

2. I once owned a pet axolotl that was called Ed

3. One of the first fanfics I ever wrote was Shelley/Wordsworth slash. Yes, the Romantic poets

So many of us fell in love with The Terror even though we couldn’t tell half the characters apart for most of the show on the first viewing. How amazing is that?
