Hornblower x Baby Pelican Insults Part 1/2
#breaking this up into two posts because it got away from me#my hobby is bullying him i'm sorry#these tags fit him too well though. maybe he should be less like a baby pelican and i won't feel the need to do things like this#hornblower#perce rambles#baby pelican hornblower#percy yells at cecil scott

Oh wait I completely forgot about the whole deal with Wray
#still think hornblower would win but stephen would be a little bitch about it (<- has endless faith in hornblower at cards)#i did have a faint recollection that cards brought something out in stephen but i forgot how insane he was#the Aura definitely would throw hornblower off though i'll give him that#god. also andrew wray my favorite cringefail bisexual loser. rip king <3#aubreyad#hornblower#percy yells at cecil scott#The Creative Endeavor and other aubreyad nonsense

This quote is so funny but also like that is literally the most efficient summary of the difference between these books sdhfjhds
#i can't speak to bernard cornwell i have not read sharpe nor am i planning to (this is from his wikipedia page though lol)#but it certainly is true of the difference between the aubreyad and hornblower#anyways to each their own. this is the best introduction to the boat book fandom though#pick your poison shdjfhsdkf#perce rambles#aubreyad#hornblower#(also to be clear. he was so real for saying this. as he is for literally everything he said sdfhsjkdf)#percy yells at cecil scott#The Creative Endeavor and other aubreyad nonsense

The Saturday Evening Post artist really leaned into the yaoi hands here eh
#i've been given another hornblower rabbit hole to go down and so down it i go :')#perce rambles#hornblower#percy yells at cecil scott#i have to say that seeing these stories in the context of the magazine makes them make so much more sense#(same with the 1951 movie)#it's like oh okay that's who you're writing for. well then they're alright i guess

Also hey look it's the lads! (Hornblower on the left? and Bush on the right? I think? It's them in some order according to the caption)
#since people requested more of these to be dug out of the archives#truly fascinated by the face this guy gave hornblower. and the yaoi hands in every one of these images#i wish there were more of them together but given that his guys are all indistinguishable it's okay#i am on the lookout for more bush but he did not show up at all in commodore alas (this is an unbelievable oversight)#perce rambles#percy yells at cecil scott#hornblower

Saw this post and had exactly one (1) thought
#there NEEDS to be an au in which hornblower defects at this juncture to the republicans. it NEEDS to exist#ah well one of these days i will write the jedao two au and it will involve mariette and hornblower republicanism and such#pick the right side girl. i know you have it in you (you definitely don't)#perce rambles#hornblower#percy yells at cecil scott#<- i think i'm going to start tagging all my original hornblowerposts with this just so i can keep them all together

CS Forester once again trying and failing to write this guy in a way that is even remotely heterosexual
#what is he doing. what#cs forester setting out to try and give hornblower a friend: what if he fell asleep on his thigh#and then got really obsessed with him. and they were both boys 😳😳#i don't even know what to say like i see what he was going for but girl you are not doing the best job of that#me if i was in a homoerotic writing contest and my opponent was cs forester real#perce rambles#hornblower#admiral is a fun little book i'll give it that. annoying in the usual ways but it's silly enough that i don't have to be mad all the time#percy yells at cecil scott

#*mean to him* *mean to him* *mean to him*#perce rambles#hornblower#baby pelican hornblower#sorry these are all wildly varying sizes i am unused to making visual content for fandoms#should have standardized it better but it has a certain folk-art je ne sais quoi <- is lazy#percy yells at cecil scott

For those who might be interested in the original serialized versions of Hornblower that appear in the Saturday Evening Post, I'll do my best to compile them here!
#thinking about them as serialized novels makes them make much more sense tbh#they read as far more episodic than having an overarching plot#don't distribute this link too far and wide but feel free to download and send to whoever you want#perce rambles#percy yells at cecil scott#hornblower

Obsessed with this description CS Forester fumbled them so so bad when we could have had whatever the hell this is
#bopping him on the head for completely botching up what should by all accounts be a fascinating relationship#they're both so fucked up!!!!! girl you need to address that before you make them kiss!!!!!!!!!#either make their relationship fucked up too or make them figure it out idc but you can't just say this and not follow up#i'm actually deeply obsessed with lady barbara and hornblower but you've got to deliver on the promises mr. c#perce rambles#hornblower#also they are toxic yuri to me but we don't have time to get into that rn#percy yells at cecil scott

Well, you sure did write some studies in psychology alright
#you gave that poor man half of the dsm is what you did. look at him. he's got anxiety and depression and intrusive thoughts and—#i mean i guess hornblower being Psychology Lab Rat does explain a lot#quote is from cs forester and the hornblower saga which i'm not quite sure how i ended up there#i think it was trying to follow the rumor that he was a spanish civil war correspondent??(if you know please tell me i have Questions)#perce rambles#hornblower#percy yells at cecil scott

Also this is the pinnacle of comedy. To me
#Very Rational Guy: hmm i wonder if my bestie can read my mind#he's so silly i'm fully judging him for this#it's very cute though#i'm glad he and bush are back on better terms again#perce rambles#hornblower#percy yells at cecil scott

Started reading archived versions of the Naval Chronicle and everything makes perfect sense now actually. I can see exactly how this led to both Hornblower and the Aubreyad
#the way they describe battles. the way they describe the social scene. the way they describe medicine. the way they describe the ocean#there's literally a poem in one of these#there's hydrography. there's music. there's love letters#you have SO MUCH to draw on as a writer no wonder both o'brian and forester went to town on this#absolutely insane. all my questions are answered goodnight#(to clarify i did know that this was a big influence on forester at least. i was just not quite prepared for how much)#perce rambles#aubreyad#hornblower#<- y'know what. go wild lads#The Creative Endeavor and other aubreyad nonsense#percy yells at cecil scott

It truly is insane that he just said this in canon. CS Forester within ten pages of introducing his little guy was like did you know he's really unhappy that he's now middle-aged and not a pretty twink anymore
#i think about this like 10 times a week. what a way to introduce your character to the world#hornblower twink death real#perce rambles#hornblower#but dw just when he is sad about no longer being a twink he has a trans awakening. and the beautiful cycle of nature continues <3#percy yells at cecil scott

I think the thing I like best about Barbara is that she kind of sucks a little. Just like the thing I like about Maria is that she kind of doesn't
#like maria would be a great friend a great neighbor just generally a great person to rely on and also hang out with#barbara is a little incapable of being an actual real person#and when she is she's kind of lame. this is really really important to me actually#this is the part of her that compels me most as a character. her shortcomings are so interesting actually#deeply saddened that no one i have found on ao3 seems to understand this but it's okay. if no one will do it by god i will#hopefully vienna fic will elucidate this point and other people will Join Me#perce rambles#hornblower#percy yells at cecil scott#sorry i've made this same post like 5 times but i need people to understand *gestures enthusiastically* the Her
