Laurence upon being called a coward: "I am terribly offended and upset but simply cannot justify defending myself, thereby doing more damage than I already have 😞"

Laurence when someone implies Temeraire should die:

hasn’t even been mentioned in bpw it but the existence of sl/very in temeraire world still boggles my damn mind. if every country and nation in existence has had dragons forever and br*tains only figured it out after the romans you really expect me to believe ancient Africans wouldn’t have domesticated and had dragons to stop colonialism from happening. or is the narrative saying tht they did and were still weak against the crooked teeth whites anyway. what’s the purpose. also that moment when Laurence n temeraire met that Native American dragon sans Native rider made me livid. how bout less screen time for tom ugly ass riley in book 2 and have it be about the potential of rich cultures with literal DRAGONS in other civilizations. don’t think I don’t notice all the bad brown guys in book 3 too teehee (and book 2 yongxing that mysterious king. highkey rooting for miss Lien like go girl give us revenge!)

Naomi Novik: *briefly mentions pirate dragons in her book*

Me: *heavy breathing*

The fact that this is the only appropriate-ish anecdote he can think of... life comes at you fast Laurence

[fearcutsdeeper]

Begging you to elaborate on this, Laurence! Where's the scene! More importantly, how big was Temeraire when you tried to introduce him to the bible 😭

[fearcutsdeeper]

Imagine being in charge of convicts in Australia and a convicted traitor shows up and his twenty ton killing machine bestie says that if you make him serve his sentence of labor he'll throw you in the ocean. And then insults your herding ability (herding is not your job)

[fearcutsdeeper]

I cannot BELIEVE. This is how he remembers. Between this and VoE, next time Laurence isn't right in the head they should just send someone to find Tharkay.

"Knew him and knew himself." Fellas....

[fearcutsdeeper]

Oh shit England, you broke WILLIAM LAURENCE'S sense of duty??? You done fucked UP

[fearcutsdeeper]

Doctor characters who aren't especially nurturing, my BELOVED.

[fearcutsdeeper]

Hi this is the saddest thing I've read in years. get him his captain RIGHT NOW 😭

[fearcutsdeeper]

Jane Roland: "You could totally kill this guy. Haha just kidding. Unless...?"

[fearcutsdeeper]

Oh hey, Tharkay has a first name now? Tharkay has a first name that Laurence uses now?

[fearcutsdeeper]

Okay I feel like I've run a marathon but. Man I haven't read that much, that quickly, in.... many years. There aren't a lot of books where the premise is good enough to hook me and then the execution is good enough not only to hold my attention but completely monopolize it

I'm pretty sure I've said this repeatedly in my liveblogging but. Will Laurence character arc of ALL. FUCKING. TIME. Also Temeraire is the dragon of all time

Ten out of ten, altered my brain chemistry

[fearcutsdeeper]

IT'S ABOUT TRANSFORMATIVE LOVE....

[fearcutsdeeper]

god he's iconic

[fearcutsdeeper]

Temeraire is the most important character ever, I think
