Stephen is terrified that a midlife crisis brought on by the demands of taking command is going to destroy Jack’s joie de vivre.
#for Stephen power is something that corrupts absolutely#which makes sense for him to believe considering what he does with his power lmao#like coercing scriven into working for him in post captain#and stalking Diana and Canning in HMS surprise#the thing that confused me about SM for a while is that he is a spy for the government he tried to rebel against in Ireland#but he refuses pay for it#and he justifies working for the British to himself by saying to Dillon that he doesn’t believe in institutional power - that he believes#and follows individuals instead#part of that is a reaction to how badly the rebellion went#but also it’s his own fear of what HE is capable of#see also that he is a doctor but also an incredibly efficient killer LMAO#contrast to Jack: power is a tool to be used. power reveals what you were going to do (within certain structures)#Stephen’s diaries are fun because he likes to project his shit onto everyone else#like hey dr maybe YOU are having a mid life crisis#aubreyad#orlop
