John Irving - Blog Posts

So I was calling this ellie John Bridgens, but then I started doing this

Re-naming him Jirv, obviously.

I just have to shout out the sound designers on the Terror. On my rewatch (from 'Horrible from Supper' onwards), I'm really noticing how straight up disturbing the sounds are for some pivotal scenes. The Jirv murder with the off-key song, Jopson's crawling scene (I'm sure there are more but these two spring most immediately). Does anyone know if they used infrasound or some other low-frequency effects? I swear I'm getting the heebie-jeebies from the sounds alone!

On my Terror rewatch and Jirv is just so happy when he meets Koveyook & companions. So grateful. I feel like it's the purest emotion we see from him. Also, I didn't notice before that while it's Hodge who meets original Mr Hickey, it's Irving who meets imposter-Hickey! I wonder how much a role Jirv's evangelicalism/non-conformist Christianity made him accept impostor-Hickey at face value even though he's clearly sus af. That born-again instinct to accept people wanting a 'fresh start'. I think it makes the betrayal (that it's specifically Irving gets murdered by impostor-Hickey) more poignant than if it were one of the other Lieuts.

i'll eventually make a whole post showing my HMS Terror Build but i really wanted to show yall this room...third lieutenant John Irving's cabin,, Theres a little minecraft bible on his little bookshelf

An average photo of the Terror lieutenants just tryin to make it through any given day:

At a certain point they’re more anxiety blobs then men smh

They in fact did not find the northwest passage, just a *friendly* bear

The bear in question:

Hodgson: *Yapping to Irving about some 16th century French art piece*

Irving: *watching Jacko longingly from across the room *
