henry le vesconte is THE funniest character on the terror bc his scenes (as i remember them) are like

  • smarmily eating a biscuit while his commanding officers bicker
  • eavesdropping on franklin ripping crozier a new one and then zooming away from the scene of the crime at top speed
  • that really goofy forelock tugging gesture he makes at crozier after franklin dies
  • the moment we find out james’s nickname for him is DUNDY
  • getting his frostbitten toes snipped off but in like a comic relief kind of way?????
  • when he finally speaks it’s to say “alright lads we’ve got a bit of a benjo planned” which is THE most victorian thing anyone has ever said
  • and then we don’t see much of him after the ships are abandoned, until OUT OF NOWHERE he starts peer pressuring people into abandoning the sick to die, and like i just think it’s wildly hilarious that the foppish background comic relief character is the one who finally snaps like that
