Terror rewatch: ep 2. Can't stop thinking about the scene where (fake) Hickey's caulking the captain's seat of ease then he & Crozier have a drink. I think he gives himself away *twice*. Firstly he uses a slur (or at least, a rude word) for Irish *catholics* about himself & by extension Crozier. Yes, Crozier was Irish & suffered prejudice from that, but he was Church of Ireland/Protestant! Unsure if (real) Hickey was Catholic or not, but being from Limerick, he certainly wouldn't use that word of himself (slur reclamation wasn't a thing yet, yo!). Secondly, when they toast -- Hickey's clearly never heard of/is unsure of why Crozier toasts "Ourselves, then" (as, he later says, a bad joke). It's because of this (screenshot from wiki attached)
The Royal Navy do seated toasts every day at wardroom dinners -- Crozier asks what day it is, it's Wednesday, then says "Ourselves, then" because that's Wednesday's toast! Hickey (though not an officer) should be familiar with this already, but he's *not* - because he's an impostor! I think Crozier's suspicious of him from this point on, because of both these reveals, but is too depressed/alcoholic/distracted to actually *do* anything about it.
Wish you were here!?!?! No will not be normal about this!

I am sexy
I am beautiful
I am powerful
My hair still looks cute
My skin is its normal colour
My gums feel fine
I am still capable of pulling the sledge
I have the usual amount of teeth
The bullet wound in my side will close up any day now
The captain still thinks I'm pretty
We will find a lemon soon
Completely surprised that 'No Surprises' or another track from 'Ok Computer' by Radiohead isn't on here

This is what happened when I tried to make something while I was having relationship frustration and #theterror brainworms
Today's Ellies: Cornelius Hickey
And Nedward Little (he's little-er than the others!)
I don't post my craft here much but decided I'd like to try to. This is what I'm working on at the moment:
I make bobbin lace: at the moment I'm making a bookmark for a friend (what colour it is is a secret, hence monochrome photos) in Gütermann 100% silk on 12 pairs of bobbins.
thou shalt err on the side of compassion
My bobbin-lace off the pins. Still monochrome to keep the secret of what colour it is in the remote chance my friend reads my tumblr. I wound too much thread onto the bobbins so I probably have enough to do a second one now 😃
hey folks if you have an android phone: google shadow installed a "security app".
I had to go and delete it myself this morning.
