NEED👏THAT👏MAN👏PREGNANT ROUND 1 POLL 78

PROPAGANDA:

[Blitz]

"Y'know how we can make this messier? Impregnate that imp. The stolitz drama would be so-o-o much worse if you threw in an unexpected hybrid pregnancy."

[Stephen]

"Making a doctor into a patient has to be something O'Brian had a thing for. Accidents and disease are happening to Stephen Maturin's body constantly, and that's not even counting the time he got tortured by the French.

I think Stephen's wife Diana should knock him up by accident after he assured her there was no risk of him getting pregnant. I think he should have an easy breezy time of it till month seven and then get a dozen unpleasant symptoms at once.

I also think the baby should start out looking more like his best friend than his wife, just to put more strain on their marriage and stress him out. That's fun for me. That's fun for me.

Did you know that his canonical weight is nine stone or one hundred twenty-six pounds? on a man five foot six that's very little. we could fix that with a baby. he would no longer need to worry about being wafted away by stiff breeze or being carried off by a medium-sized owl."

Imagine being this guy and a wizened scruffy little Englishman (???or???) comes up and starts hopping around and croaking and then stands up like everything’s normal, waits for a minute, says something you KNOW is rude, and then walks off. What a moment to experience.

Was reminded the other day that as a teenager probably a bit young for the Aubreyad, long before I ever watched Master and Commander, my imagination pretty much got Jack Aubrey right but conjured up Stephen Maturin as resembling Dr. Doppler from Treasure Planet.

Hello I am continuing to lose my mind over fictional naval englishmen and the Strange Foreign Fellow they have a Particular Intimate Friendship with

[the-dog-watch]

We’re always laughing about the time Jack got Stephen’s sloth irresponsibly drunk in HMS Surprise (Debauchgate) but we don’t talk enough about the time Stephen accidentally got the entirety of the ship’s rat population coked up in The Nutmeg of Consolation.

[fluentisonus]

every time i look at the diagram in the front of the aubrey maturin books where it lists all the different sails on the ship I misread the one that says "mainsail, or course" as "mainsail, of course". like lol you'd have to be stupid not to even know this one

[itsadmiralactually]

Pretty much, yes. Though to be fair, he was never really sane to begin with. What kind of man operates on himself just to see if he can?

when the character who's like "i will never reveal my trauma to anyone" gets a high fever and, while weak and delirious, starts spilling every.

last.

secret.

A toast in the wardroom of the HMS Surprise from Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003):

Dr. Stephen Maturin (Paul Bettany, seated); Second Lieutenant William Mowett (Edward Woodall, in dark jacket); First Lieutenant Tom Pullings (James D'Arcy); and Captain Jack Aubrey (Russell Crowe). Sailing Master John Allen (Robert Pugh) is behind Aubrey, but you can see his hand.

Never forgetting the fact that Stephen Maturin is my 78-year-old grandfather's blorbo. He's read ALL but one of the Aubreyad. The movie adaptation is one of his, if not his most, favorite movies of all time. Whenever he brings it up, he talks about how Maturin is "the most interesting character in all of fiction" and lists stuff about the man that he finds interesting - HE DOES NOT USUALLY GO ON RANTS LIKE THIS. The highest praise I have ever heard from him has been for Dr. Stephen Maturin and I think it's hilarious

[sawbones-showdown]

[rested-shaved-coffeed]

I think one of the most charming aspects of the Aubrey-Maturin friendship is that Jack goes to find Stephen or sends someone to fetch him whenever there’s something nice or interesting to see on deck. He just wants to show his friend cool things (always providing that Dr. Maturin is at leisure, of course)!

[thiefbird]

Have a grouchily affectionate Maturin
