Then, too, at sea—to use a homely but expressive phrase—you miss a man so much. A dozen men are shut up together in a little bark, upon the wide, wide sea, and for months and months see no forms and hear no voices but their own, and one is taken suddenly from among them, and they miss him at every turn. It is like losing a limb. There are no new faces or new scenes to fill up the gap. There is always an empty berth in the forecastle, and one man wanting when the small night watch is mustered. There is one less to take up the wheel, and one less to lay out with you upon the yard. You miss his form, and the sound of his voice, for habit had made them almost necessary to you, and each of your senses feels the loss.
—a sailor's diary entry, on losing a shipmate, ca. 1834 (from Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana Jr.)

There's a much more critical and serious way to articulate and examine this but every time Hickey does something that mirrors another character and then gets vilified for it I can't help but find it so fucking funny
“So when Fitzjames makes bad decisions because he’s gay blinded by homoerotic obsession he’s a ‘loyal commander’ and ‘devoted friend,’ but when I, Cornelius Hickey-”
“So when Franklin is consumed by hubris and leads men to their doom because of his fucked up evil colonizer religious superiority complex he’s ‘a beloved captain’ and ‘the best of us,’ but when I, Cornelius Hickey-“
“So when Crozier plots mutiny he’s ‘heroic’ and ‘doing it for the good of his men’ and ‘saving lives,’ but when I, Cornelius Hickey-”
“Oh, so when Crozier does an assisted suicide it’s ‘heartwrenching’ and ‘tragic’ and ‘understandable,’ but when I, Cornelius Hickey-”
“Oh so when Franklin orders Goodsir to dissect bodies, he’s a being a responsible captain, but when I, Cornelius Hickey-”
“Oh so when Goodsir steals the ring off of Gibson’s dead body because it is no longer of any use to a dead man, he’s “trying to be a decent person,” but when I, Cornelius Hickey-”
“Oh so when Fitzjames is a ‘fake‘ and has a ‘fake’ name and kills people to get to where he wants to be with zero regrets, regarding their deaths as just funny dinner table stories, he’s ’trying his best,’ but when I, ‘Cornelius Hickey’-”
