#I think part of it is that you don't EXPECT the heavy stuff#the show is marketed as an adventure story#not a thriller/horror with inevitable death at the end#so the contrast between the 'happy-go-lucky' shenanigans and the stark and brutal punishments and violence is even more visible#I feel that especially in “Frogs and Lobsters”#with the guillotine#where you literally CANNOT do anything to stop the murders#and then the MOST visceral scene of Moncoutant's beheading#and the crowd pulling him to it#knowing that this did happen in history#even with the fake blood it's still enough to send shivers down your spine#thinking about the repercussions#and the real lived experiences#ANYWAY#I have too many thoughts about this show#it's a very fun adventure story on the surface#until you start getting below it and find the rest of the iceberg (via @brainyraccoons)
I felt like I had to take a shower after watching every episode of Hornblower*, but MAN, I'm upset there's no more episodes for me to watch.
*Despite the conspicuous absence of physical grime, this show made me feel the visceral, soul-sucking awfulness of Age of Sail realities much more than aesthetically grimy Age of Sail shows like The Terror and The North Water ever did. And I'm not even sure the creators were doing any of it intentionally? Idk, if you've seen this show, please weigh in, I can't be the only one thinking about this.

A Letter to the Forester Estate and the Writers of Horatio Hornblower, the TV Series
This is my letter from Horatio Hornblower and the fans of Archie Kennedy to the CS Forester Estate and also the Hornblower writers who killed off Archie Kennedy and then discarded him as if he meant nothing, particularly to Horatio. You may see their relationship as platonic or not. This is nothing against Lieutenant Bush who is a lovely man and a compelling character.
So, you think I’m such a heartless bastard that I could just move on without my best friend who gave up his good name for me to spare my “now purposeless” life? A life without my sun to my moon?
He’s probably still warm as he’s taken to a pauper’s grave or worse and I’m given a fucking promotion and a ship! I just lost my dearest friend, my brother in arms, my companion to whom I could
communicate without words, and he to me. The man I silently vowed to protect from that evil bastard Simpson. The man whose face I tenderly caressed as he writhed in fits, or nightmares, who I carried through the rain, begged to live, to drink. Whose bedside I sat vigil at, watching over him, feeding him, helping him to grow stronger. Because I said it myself. “I can’t do this without you. I won’t make it.”
Never mind that my men gave me hell, most of them anyway. We weren’t going anywhere without Archie and he would not be left behind. I would not, could not fail him again.
When I had to hit my friend in the head as he fitted, agony was clearly written on my face. And my heart broke as I saw the jolly boat drifting away taking a piece of my soul along with it.
And of course there’s more. Perhaps you didn’t notice how Archie and I called one another by our Christian names. And that he inspired courage, light, and greatness in me that I never knew I had. I was just a scared, awkward, seasick little boy that first day, thrust into the bowels of a Hell I never knew existed. And there was that bright faced animated ray of sunshine cheering me on. “Jump! You’ll be allright.” Then grinning at my no doubt green hue, “Welcome to Purgatory!”
How he still had such cheer and optimism after all he had been through on that hell ship is difficult to understand. After all, he was just a boy as well, only months older than me. And he had been on that ship far longer. Only later, after getting to know just what sort of person my dear Archie was would I understand.
Because there is, “was” no one else like him on this earth. I would have been entirely unmanned and crushed to bits had I endured what he had. I will never have that sort of courage, resilience and optimism, and I’ll never love anyone again now that he’s gone.
It is all I can do merely to get through a single hour, let alone a day. My soul is in agony without him and I look forward to my own death.
End of Part One.
Part Two
Did the writers not notice how very close Archie was to me? Because the viewers damned sure did! Any chance we had to gently touch or comfort one another, we took advantage of. When I returned from the hole in El Ferrol, Archie couldn’t get to me quickly enough. He was so loving, and concerned, and even stroked my chest. If the viewers took it as we couldn’t keep our hands to ourselves, then they would be right.
And my loyal Archie went back to the prison hell he had been in, not even fully recovered to show his faith in me, his respect, and his love.
Then there was the disaster that was Muzillac. I believe that’s when I realized there was no going back.
I was so proud of my new Lieutenant’s uniform. I actually began to feel worthy of my promotion. And Archie was obviously just as pleased. I saw that look in his warm blue eyes. The look of love and something more. He’d had a drink you see and as he began admiring my new uniform I realized he was flirting with me. And I flirted back!
Neither of us knew what was coming as we escorted Moncoutant and his men to Quiberon. But as always we would have one another’s back. And if one of us should falter, the other would be there for support.
As it came to pass, it was my dear still wounded Archie who held me up, indeed saved my life at the end. My brother in arms serving as acting Lieutenant in his Majesty’s Royal Navy, not truly recovered from El Ferrol or from the terrible abuse from that scab Simpson, would rise to the occasion for me. Indeed risked his very life without hesitation to save mine.
He was still bantering with me in the beginning as he always did, loving nothing more than to tease and annoy me. Knowing I wasn’t fond of horses, let alone using them as transportation, I saw the sparkle in his eye, the smirk of his lips as I struggled to mount the beast. Secretly I enjoyed the teasing and we both knew it. Anything to get that sunshine smile from him was always worth it to me.
Is it not evident to anyone with eyes and two brain cells how well the two of us understand and care for one another?
Then came the turning point. When Archie became what he was always meant to be. A hero.
After all Archie had been through so recently with being in prison and the events preceding it, he struggled with anxiety about the situation we found ourselves in. I tried to make light of things to reassure him but I don’t believe he was buying it. Still he remained with our men, doing the best he could while I was off playing the gallant hero. I‘m not sure what I was doing or why. Yes I had a crush on Mariette. Yes, I wanted information from her about our enemy. Maybe I was trying to find a ray of sunshine in a black cloud of misery; a failed mission of pain, grief, and loss of life. If not for Archie I would be among the losses.
Acting Lieutenant Archie Kennedy. The man was a true hero. He was there for his men and led them in spite of his fear and panic.
Then he came through for me in a big way. He saved my life.
Archie agonized about lighting the fuse to blow up the bridge in Muzillac. His voice had a slight break when speaking to Matthews about whether I was still alive or not. He kept delaying and hesitating, hoping I would show. Eventually Matthews offered to take on that burden, lighting the fuse himself.
When I suddenly appeared with Mariette over the hill, Archie sprung into action immediately. Holding fire of our marines and asking for protection of us both as Mariette was suddenly shot. As I fell to pieces and the fuse came closer to blowing up not just the bridge but me along with it, Archie bravely broke into a run, arriving to pull my weeping form away from Mariette and certain death. He put his arms about me, gently saying there was nothing more to be done for her, and pulling me away as we ran for our very lives, barely escaping. He provided comfort with an arm around me, empathetic looks and touches. As we made it back to the Indefatigable and I was called to brief Captain Pellew, my dearest friend looked at me and lovingly touched my arm. It will all be okay Horatio he said without words. End of Part Two
Part Three to follow

Sending 001 for Hornblower right back at you dear!🤭
001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:
Favorite character: Horatio
Least Favorite character: This caricature of a Frenchman Moncoutant. It is not always easy to watch this show when you’re French LOL
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): I don’t really ship romantically, but I like the dynamic between Horatio & Archie, Horatio & Bush - Horatio, Archie and Bush, really. Those three together, that might be my favorite. Horatio and Pellew. And last but certainly not least, I love Styles & Matthews.
Character I find most attractive: Horatio. I mean, look at that adorable smile. And those lovely curls. What’s not to love ?
Character I would marry: Horatio (could probably also marry Archie)
Character I would be best friends with: Horatio and Archie. :-)
a random thought: I’d give anything to have more seasons of the show - even if that means more frog-calling.
An unpopular opinion: I have no idea what’s popular or not, but I do believe the TV show is a good adaptation of the series. You can tell the writers cared for the original material, even when they brought some changes. And that they’ve actually read the books.
my canon OTP: I’ll go for Horatio/Mariette.
Non-canon OTP: I rarely ship non-canon ships.
most badass character: Horatio doesn’t seem to be, but he’s quite badass.
pairing I am not a fan of: Mr. and Mrs. Hornblower.
character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Like I said, Moncoutant.
favourite friendship: Horatio, Archie and Bush.
character I want to adopt or be adopted by: To try and answer something else than Horatio, I’ll go with Captain Pellew. I’d love to be “adopted” by him the way he adopted Horatio. He’s a fair and encouraging boss.
Thank you for asking! <3
From this ask, if others still want to play, on this slow day.

Hornblower @ Moncoutant:

@holmesdepot.
THE SUN IS RELENTLESS in its fury, a single eye glaring down upon the field and beaches that seems to burn what little humidity tries to slake the heat. It didn’t help that the Colonel’s outburst had struck a hot embarrassment within Edrington, melting his lips shut at any protestation as the man went on his rampage. Lord Edrington had long developed a sensitivity to such behaviour when age cast an unflattering gaze upon his own actions.
It was that very humility that had him holding Hornblower back from addressing Colonel Mouncoutant in a perhaps overly rash manner. His own upset simmered close to his surface, and he knew that with his and Hornblower’s executive powers combined, they had the ability to intervene, but political tensions between their respective states meant that their cooperation, at any cost, was non - negotiable. If he weren’t so angry, Edrington might have laughed at the irony.
As Edrington walks beside Hornblower, guiding him firmly away from Moncoutant, he can feel almost feel the upset that emulates from him like sun flaming above. “Temperance, Mister Hornblower,” he says evenly, even though his own brow is fixed firm and displeased. “Men such as him have forced me to pay graver penalties than I would be happy to admit, and I hope that you will be wiser. Everything will work itself out as it should ; these things have a way of righting themselves.”
