Frank Mildmay commission from @f-draws. I am very happy with how this turned out!

I was now in my twenty-second year; my figure was decidedly of a handsome cast; my face, what I knew most women admired. My personal advantages were heightened by the utmost attention to dress; the society of the fair Acadians had very much polished my manners, and I had no more of the professional roughness of the sea than what, like the crust on the port-wine, gave an agreeable flavour; my countenance was as open and as ingenuous as my heart was deceitful and desperately wicked.

— Frederick Marryat, The Naval Officer (Frank Mildmay)

Why did I like Horatio so much from the start? Because he is clumsy, insecure and awkward at first and I could identify with him. Well....the difference, however, is that he has evolved and I have not.

Hi, I was in the middle of my Novus questing, and not to make the interests of my blog obvious, but this blurb in a sidequest made me lose my fucking mind at two in the morning.

#personal #wizard101 #Also I think this is the first time in W101 where this universe's Royal Navy actually shows its face #(I can't speak for the pirate spinoff bc I never cared for pirates so never bothered to look at it) #(But considering what that game is they probably showed up a lot over there before this) #You best believe I'm fucking slobbering over the uniform you can get for your character #Even if it doesn't make you look like an officer :/ #EDIT: Or at least not the Victorian kind that the mobs actually dress like

Fitzjames, Fitzier, and Nelson (spoilers for The Terror)

just finished watching the terror and I love the parallels they made with Fitzjames and Admiral Nelson, the obvious of course right out of the gate in the first episode, telling the tale of his chest and arm wound just like Nelson's (granted, not in the same shot) as well as character traits, such as vanity and wanting to be seen, wanting to be decorated and beautiful, doing whatever it took to do well in the navy to earn recognition despite serious hardships (in Fitzjames' case his family, and in Nelson's his seasickness and other illnesses and injuries that he collected and plagued him throughout his life)

[spoilers below picture of our handsome captain]

that these wounds eventually kill him (or at least contributed to his death) sadly slowly and tragically, and showing his arm--which of course Nelson lost--with severe necrosis, has a stigmata feeling about it, because if anyone is sailor Jesus, it's Nelson

all this made the scene of his passing all the more emotional as he was helped and comforted by his close friend, a fellow captain, in the hour of his death, a man he had grown close to

I confess this tickled me pink, not just because they had a great dynamic, but this seems like it may have been foreshadowed in the first episode as well, because when Crozier is looking at what I assume are collected papers, biographies, and logs of famous captains, look whose name is amongst them

second from left, (Admiral) Sir Thomas (Masterman) Hardy, the man who comforted Nelson in his final hours, Nelson's captain, the man he loved, whom Admiral Nelson said was everything he could ever want, as good as ever, and had a usual style of elegance in decorating the ship

okay so that last one isn't as relevant here but I do enjoy it very much

#the terror #james fitzjames #fitzier #kiss me hardy #admiral nelson #captain hardy #fitzjames also would have known hardy as he served under him but then like so did pretty much every senior officer on the terror and erebus #they could have talked dresses and accessories given that hardy had Opinions about them #I'd say the queer thing is a parallel also but that's just business as usual for the royal navy #pretty sure you weren't allowed on a ship in the Age of Sail if you didn't show some appreciation for male beauty

London, 2008 - Sir leaving with, of all things, a "commemorative bag of sugar" after he and the wife visited Tate & Lyle sugar refinery. It was promptly put to use at the covfefe station in my office.

#Prince Philip #royals do be leaving with odd gifts from places #sometimes he puts them in my office which gets annoying #Sir pls I need space for my own random gifts I get on the down low #like covfefe mugs from wardrooms of Royal Navy ships

Detail from 'The Interior of a Midshipman's birth', 1821 print by George Humphry after Captain Frederick Marryat (British Museum).

The midshipmen ate in their own berth. Depending on the makeup of the group (age-range, family background, etc), conditions varied from civilised to the squalid. Where there was a responsible older midshipman he would be the most obvious mess caterer. The very young 'young gentlemen' (also known as 'squeakers') were put under the charge of the gunner, although the captain usually took responsibility for their money and expenses, doling out pocket-money as appropriate and writing to their fathers for more when necessary. Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood wrote to his friend Walter Spencer-Stanhope of his son, William, 'Your son's debts are not enormous yet—you cannot think how cheap salt water is, and there is nothing else to buy'. No-one seems to have reported what happened with older midshipmen, at the age between squeaking and financial responsibility; perhaps the captain delegated the task of mess caterer for these boys to one of the other officers.

— Janet Macdonald, Feeding Nelson’s Navy: The True Story of Food at Sea in the Georgian Era

Numerous sources speak of young midshipmen being in the care of the ship's gunner, for example Brian Lavery's book Nelson's Navy: The Ships, Men and Organisation, 1793 - 1815:

Traditionally these 'youngsters' were placed in the care of the gunner, and lived in the gunroom on a ship-of-the-line. 'In the Irresistible I again messed with the gunner, Mr Gallant, who took great care of me.' [Captain Boteler's Recollections] In 1805 the gunner was moved out of the gunroom, but it seems that the 'young gentleman' stayed there. On frigates, they probably berthed among the older midshipmen.

It seems paradoxical that the man responsible for the use and maintenance of deadly artillery was also expected to help care for young children, but he was. In his semi-autobiographical novels, Frederick Marryat's midshipmen can always be found in the gunroom, although they are mentored by various officers and older midshipmen.
