One thing I really wish they would have had more time to develop in the show was the relationship between Crozier and James Clark Ross. Like there’s a little of it there but not “My Dear James who I will walk an hour to see, who I went to Antarctica with and spent many a night with at the observatory, who made the doctor write to him about my health when I was sick, and who I confided my deepest insecurities to” levels. It makes the ending hurt so much worse. Like historically thats your best friend in the whole world!! Right on the other side of that tent!! He has literally traveled thousands of miles into unforgiving terrain to find you!!! You are sacrificing something you hold so dear because you can’t forgive yourself!! You are rejecting love in the name of penance!!!

James has heard so much of Ross and Crozier’s expedition to Antarctica, he really wanted to impress his hero and crush… only Francis isn’t into it at all 😔

this is such a random headcanon but i feel like if james clark ross had commanded erebus on the arctic expedition hickey would have just. lost his shit wracked with lust and the typical hickey delusions. like that's the handsomest man in the navy??? who just happens to be the captain of the boat-next-door??? he'd be like "i have to have him. it's meant to be. he's my only equal"
