the year is 1951. you have $2,460,000, film rights to three hornblower novels, and all the leftover sets from the 1950 treasure island movie.

now, the most important question lies before you: who do you cast as horatio hornblower?

[this is a post for having a discussion mostly because I think gregory peck was a really weird choice. please share your thoughts.]

#hornblower #personally I think basil rathbone was the very specific kind of Weird In The Face that I associate with hornblower #but also I Have on occasion rotated 'what if they let peter lorre be a leading man in a period drama just the once' to this tune

This quote is so funny but also like that is literally the most efficient summary of the difference between these books sdhfjhds

#i can't speak to bernard cornwell i have not read sharpe nor am i planning to (this is from his wikipedia page though lol)#but it certainly is true of the difference between the aubreyad and hornblower #anyways to each their own. this is the best introduction to the boat book fandom though #pick your poison shdjfhsdkf #perce rambles #aubreyad #hornblower #(also to be clear. he was so real for saying this. as he is for literally everything he said sdfhsjkdf)

Part two of ao3 fanfic lines that go extremely (emotionally devastatingly) hard !

Part one (although quite a mess) was pretty popular and I have tons of these in my gallery so please enjoy -

no. 1 - the best mcu spiderman fic I have ever read (seriously it's amazing) called The Third Option by Uncertainty_Principle

no. 2 - a merthur classical music au called Pianos are made for Falling by Fishwrites

no. 3 - another beautifully written merthur fic called the time is drawing near now (yours to claim it all) by ariadne_odair

no. 4 - a short and sweet Hornblower fic called I Will Not Sleep by speakmefair

no. 5 - another Hornblower fic (they're all so poetically written ??) called No Quarter Given by Paraxdisepink

no. 6 - a s3 au of the walking dead (part 3 of a series) called If You Love Something by CrossBowDontMiss

no. 7 - a beautiful klance fic called never saw you coming by dimpleforyourthoughts (one of my faves!)

no. 8 - a nightwing centered batfam fic called your continental divides by isawet and reisling (made me tear up ngl)

no. 9 & 10 - once again the amazing ongoing atla rewrite/au following zuko - The Art Of Burning by hella1975

please tag the authors tumblrs if they have one!!

(and of course I'm not forgetting that one stucky line - we deserve a soft epilogue, my love - that line is forever in my head even though I've never read the fic 😭)

Reading hornblower but shaking my head the entire time so everyone knows I don't agree with the actions of the british military in the late eighteenth century

Available miniatures

I'm currently low on money and there's a lot of problems, so here's what is available. Five resin and wood ark pendants, two landscape pendants, several megaliths, two botanical painted pendants and Archie Kennedy brooch. And there's also a shipwreck diorama in a shell. Reblogs would be really helpful, thank you
