I had to share this absolute gem from the Audreyad subreddit with you lot. Needless to say the vibes over there are radically different from age-of-sail Tumblr, but this still managed to rile up the nautical dad population into near mutiny.

Thinking about charting out every event, past or part of the active narrative, in Hornblower, Aubreyad, Sharpe, and Temeraire to see who's doing what at what time

No idea if it would be of interest to anyone but myself(and POB's six 1813s will perhaps complicate matters), but it is very tempting

Sorry I can't talk right now! The remarkably skilled blond captain who is both greatly intelligent, yet also quiet dumb is being extremely gay with his dark haired, oddly pale science minded friend/companion/most important person in the universe/ lancer trope right now!

#if i had a nickel #also the captain has a name that starts with j and only goes by his nickname #and the science companion has a name that starts with s #and the science companion's parentage is somewhat of a sore subject #and they both came out in the 60s #and there is an infamous moment for the fandom in which the captain saves his science companion from danger #star trek #aubrey maturin #aubrey/maturin #spock/kirk #aubreyad #aubrey x maturin #jack aubrey #stephen maturin #jim kirk #mr spock #spirk #star trek spirk #james kirk #i just think they're neat #mine

Been bouncing back and forth between the Aubreyad and the Hornblower books based on which audiobook is currently available at my library and while Jack Aubrey and Horatio Hornblower are wildly different characters on a lot of fronts I think the funniest is Aubrey being deeply in love with music and playing the violin while Hornblower being so tone deaf he legitimately did not recognize the English national anthem when it was played.

Round 1 Part 8 Poll 2

Propaganda

Spoilers ahead

Crow is what's called a "spore eater", which protects her from physical harm but also causes severe dehydration. Like most spore eaters, she feels the tradeoff is not worth it, so she manipulates her crew into piracy so they'll be desperate enough to venture into the dangerous seas where the dragon Xisisrefliel lives, as Xisis is reputed to be able to "cure" spore eaters. (It turns out that the cure requires ongoing maintenance from the dragon in order to be ongoingly effective, so her plan was flawed to begin with.)

It's Lucky Jack! On his very first command, took a frigate with a sloop, and filled up Port Mahón with prizes. He's a disaster on land, kind of shit with money, but he is brilliant at sea, ingenious and strategically minded. He loves his wife, Sophie, and his bestie, Stephen Maturin, and he gets up to all sorts of hijinks with the latter. He rescued Stephen from being tortured by the French, actually, and Stephen frequently uses his own connections to try and work to Jack's advantage. He's obsessed with gunnery, and his crew generally love him because he's disciplined but not a hard-horse, plus he's lucky and brings them lots of prizes and prize money. He's a jock, but later in life he starts to love math for its own sake, as well as becoming an astronomer of no mean ability; he's presented papers on math and astronomy to the Royal Society. He's a great musician, a violinist, and his duets with Stephen (a cellist) are so incredibly touching to read about. His music is just... beautiful. Stephen's hands were wrecked by torture, and later on we find out that Jack's been downplaying his own ability to match Stephen's level, because he'd rather play average with Stephen than perfectly alone.

There's so much more I could say but tldr he's the best I love him.
