What I love about this fandom is how we are all in love with Ferdinand despite him being the most unlikeable person ever. Like he is an anti-social, rude, cold-hearted, know it all snob and we love him all the more for it.

When he enters the story this is what we immediately learn about him, but he was kind to Myne. So we know there is more to him, but we have to wait till to get it. Until that moment in the Trombe subjugation we weren’t sure how to fell about Ferdinand nor how’d he react because he is always the first person to remind Myne of her place. She’s a commoner and despite guiding her he also doesn’t let her forget that. So when he backs Myne we finally know we can trust him like really trust him. And that he is someone to lean on.

And even before we learn his sad backstory(which again takes VOLUMES hell PARTS). We already love and trust him. His backstory doesn’t endear us to him, because we have long since had love for him. He doesn’t need a sad woobie backstory for us to feel for him and feel positively about him because like Myne he has long since proven himself to us. And while many people in story would liken spending time with him to torture, we know that despite all of that he is a good person, and loyal to a fault.

And honestly, he doesn’t really grow in that aspect, I mean he learns a little but the things I listed earlier are still very much his character flaws. He doesn’t grow past them, learn to be kinder, socialize more, or anything like that.

They’re still apart of his personality, they’re flaws but they are his.

And in keeping these flaws we retain the part of him the is undeniably Ferdinand.

We love Ferdinand despite the fact that if we met him in person many of us wouldn’t like him, and I think that’s one of the most fantastic things about AoaB

update: peach is doing very well!! she's eating and sleeping normally (sleeping more than normal, really, but that's to be expected)!! after 3 days of not sleeping and a few changes in painkillers, she finally just napped for an hr then, after another day, slept through the whole night (and most of the next day). she's started following all her usual routines again and is very keen to eat! still on some painkillers, but they're not having any horrific side effects anymore

now that im not staying up to keep an eye on her all night (while also dealing with upgrading my computer and my phone and also my sister preparing to go overseas and the dogs barking and howling constantly due to all of the above), i finally got some decent sleep too and slept for about 14 hrs. so today ive got that weird shakiness that i get from sleeping too much, but hey it's better than the whole of the last week

I am so disgustingly tired, like idk why, I feel like I'm gonna die I'm so tired/fatigued/exhausted/drained/every possible word for it and my grandma suggested "maybe you're not eating enough red meat" so I'm gonna take this as an excuse to order a steak or a burger via DoorDash later. Living in luxury. Thanks grandma.

I am continuing to have friends and family way cooler than I am :’D

Yesterday I met up with a friend who has a strong relationship (I’d say it sounds very queerplatonic and beautiful) with a finnish person so my friend has been visiting Finland a lot

Oh and then they casually mentioned having watched käärijä a few time saying being at his gig was a cozy time (even if they didn’t understand all he was saying)

Honestly one of my favorite things about Teresa and Sharpe is their inherit language and culture barriers and the endless amount of opportunities they have for silly moments with that.

A lot of British officers were really taken aback at the...let’s say, lax manner of strong words used by Spanish women. Sharpe, who uses those words all the time, would find it funny, if not endearing to hear Teresa say frequently, especially when flustering other officers. He learns the curse words first, and then the rest of the language naturally. (He’s quite fond of her frequent utterings of pollas en vinagre). And then the officers are like “Ah, it make sense those two are good company for each other...ruffians...”

So when she suddenly switches to saying “Caracoles!” around Antonia instead of another Bad Spanish Word Sharpe is like ?? and Teresa has to be like “It means snails” bc she does Not Want their daughter repeating the Actual Word she meant- and Sharpe realizes they have that in English too- like bullocks or so, or cows. But he can’t help but laugh and say “Aw, snails!”  and it’s just too funny for him!! He’s always learning something new about Spanish culture and Teresa has to teach him quite a bit. So just imagining him mad at something and he just goes “bloody snails” and then he cant help but chuckle. Bloody snails and frogs!! (Antonia, of course, upon hearing this thinks there are actual snails and goes looking for them).

But then the opposite is just as true. Sharpe teaching her about English Tea Culture and how Serious they are about it! Teresa is like “no it’s time to siesta!!” and he’s like “NO I am not missing my bloody tea time”. Teresa having to learn just how he likes it and him teaching her about Tea Culture and it takes some time to perfect it but she picks it up quickly. They go to England and Teresa is like “Ooh I can’t wait to see your culture!” and meanwhile Sharpe’s munching on a rat and pigeon kebab and then he and Teresa are betting on the cock fights after bc he’s from the gutters and That’s How They Do It On Vinegar Street, Baby!

I hope my brother can arrange something so he can bear me part of the journey home after this week is all over and done because I am starting to suspect I will not be a safe driver and it could pose an unacceptably high risk that I'll semi-accidentally drive off the road.
