De and Leonard in a blooper from “Obsession”.

How did they ever do the scene right when they had been laughing so hard?

The thing about the Temeraire series is that you are presented with a protagonist: Captain Will Laurence, until recently of His Majesty's Navy, third son of the Earl of Allendale, runs a tight ship but well-liked by his crew, very keen on respect and formality, loves his country and his duty. And you accept that protagonist and he has very different set of values than you, and he adheres to different social norms, and you don't quite understand him but he seems like a decent guy and you feel bad for him because he's just been thrust into a world that's alien to him. And then the whole point of the rest of the series is dismantling this dude's entire worldview, challenging his beliefs to and beyond the breaking point, forcing him to leave behind his systems of service and honour and manners and becoming a better, more thoughtful and more complicated person who values justice and equality and also his own life above duty to his country, and then

the Blood of Tyrants amnesia plot happens and you and he both are confronted with just how much he has changed. He's almost unrecognisable both to his friends and to you, the reader, and you realise that you almost hadn't noticed how stark the difference is between book 1 Will Laurence and book 8 Will Laurence. Yes the battles and the geopolitics are fun but to be honest to me these books are about Will Laurence's character arc and exploring how people can change and grow from how they were raised and how your view of the world shifts once you start seeing the cracks in the system.

Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send this to ten of your favourite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool~) 🌈 🌈

(If you're comfortable with this, of course :) No pressure)

I’m shy and anxious by nature, so I find it difficult to approach people on my own initiative – but I try to do it anyway and socialise and do new things every now and then (not often, but still) just to push myself, and I think that’s kind of brave.

I try to be kind, and I try to care and stay interested, and I’m willing to learn and improve.

I don’t take myself too seriously and I can laugh about myself. I’m usually not offended if somebody teases or criticises me, and I don’t hold grudges.

I enjoy nature, and I think I have an eye for aesthetic things.

I’m reasonably good at writing and crocheting/knitting and drawing – just creating something. I can forget about everything else when I’m doing any of those things, and I can get really excited about the things I love.

#as someone who’s been struggling with mental health issues and self-doubt again #it’s really helpful to remind myself of things I like about myself #so thank you very much for the ask Eulchen! #personal stuff

thank youuu, Eulchen! :)

3 ships: uh ... Jake/Amy (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Tina/Newt (Fantastic Beasts) ... and Spock and Bones from Star Trek TOS, not necessarily in a romantic way though. I'm usually not really interested in romantic relationships.

first ship: Meggie and Farid from “Inkheart” maybe? I really don’t remember lol

last song: Cuyahoga by R.E.M. (<3)

currently reading: “Tongues of Serpents” by Naomi Novik – I love the Temeraire books, it’s the first series in years that feels really special to me

last movie: The Hound of the Baskervilles (Granada Holmes) ... and I’m halfway through the latest Polizeiruf 110 Świecko movie

currently craving: sleep, and a long holiday

uh ... the only names I remember right now are @kcscribbler and @lenievi, feel free to ignore

Nine People You'd Like To Get To Know Better

thank you to @tadpal for the tag

3 ships: uhhhhhh dang i dont really ship so much just have opinions on what canon is doing soo uh gwynplaine+dea [the blueprint the icon the everything] higgs+zeetha [jock4jock] and how could i forget grimaud+milady everyone should ship grimmilady [it came to me in a dream and its such a concept]

first ship: ive been a consumer of media from a very young age and also have memory issues so i cant say for certain its the first but wesley+buttercup is a good bet

last song: desperate measures by marianas trench [ive been osscilating between pop punk and club bangerz to keep my energy up while sewing]

currently reading: technically nothing rn but ive been stopped halfway through the dracula caper for a while and i need to get back to it, also ive been flipping through vdb since my mom's reading it now

last movie: the second bourboulon trois mousquetaires! it was not good lol, and according to the rest of the watch group understanding french would not have helped me. lowkey i still hope they make a third one bc im soooo curious what the plan for this setup is

currently craving: a fanciful fruited beverage

tagging: @mothqueton @irianeth @caecilian-king @counterwiddershins @amypihcs @fwipination @gato1523 @earthly-apples @pilferingapples is that nine?? i think thats nine

I want to write a book called “your character dies in the woods” that details all the pitfalls and dangers of being out on the road & in the wild for people without outdoors/wilderness experience bc I cannot keep reading narratives brush over life threatening conditions like nothing is happening.

I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.

Then she had a “miserable” 3 more miles to walk to the inn.

Babes she would not MAKE it to that inn.

The way this scene rewrote my brain chemistry so many times over

like insanity from start

to the middle

to listing out all the crimes and responding "god forbid women do anything?" including having his father's murder bow

to being a man of his word and reciting more love poetry

"To love is simply to know this..."

to the finish

AND HE'S RIGHT!!
