William Laurence truly has one of the funniest character arcs of all time. He does a complete 360 over the course of the series. Totally turned around yet somehow exactly where he started. He completely changed his worldview while being absolutely steadfast about it. He undergoes impressive character development while his character does not change at all. He is so damn stubborn about his preconceived notions of honor that he is willing to abandon his preconceived notions of dragons, gender, and race. He transcends the regency society he lives in not by breaking the confines of rigid values but by expanding those confines to include everyone.

so it begins

I once again desperately want Temeraire acrylic charms, and because I haven’t found them yet, it means I have to make them myself.

So here’s my first one. We’ll see how much steam I have to complete others.

Rereading (via the excellent audiobooks) the Temeraire series lately. William Laurence is THE most self-sabotaging stupidly honorable pinnacle of Regency masculinity to exist. Tough as nails, exceedingly competent, will sail you a ship or carry out a diplomatic mission or teach himself an entirely new career! He is kind and handsome and well-spoken and humble! A genuine hero! Comes in clutch!

But (picks up blorbo by his cravat) give this doofus bitch a chance to shoot his own foot off for Honor and dumbass needs a dragon the size of a 747 and a full team of passionately loyal comrades to keep him still standing. You have never seen the like. His (subtexty) boyfriend, his (subtext is for losers) girlfriend, and his own dragon all roast him for it on the regular. A legend.

Forgot how much I love him. And all the people around him that are like “damn I admire your commitment to honor, but you do NOT have to go that hard, calm down”
