awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

Finished Lieutenant Hornblower. Poor dude spent months gambling for rent money, but unsurprisingly, was very good at it. I am once again reminded of Raffles.

I’m interested in Bush’s unshakable belief of “that’s just how things are,” which renders him absolutely imperturbable in the face of the press gangs and beatings and death he’s seen and directly addressed in the book, to say nothing of the actions his country has taken against others. Obviously this is simply the correct opinion for an officer of the British Royal Navy to hold, but it stands out when placed next to Hornblower who has greater tendency to try and bend or flex the rules. Hornblower is… less accepting of these things that Bush simply assumes as natural parts of life, though not by much, and though I doubt it will come to any meaningful head I do wonder if there will be some conflict around this in future books.

Overall I REALLY enjoyed this book

It’s so sweet how Hornblower has taken Wellard under his wing and watches over him :) now I’m extremely worried for Wellard :) hope nothing bad happens to this child the main character cares so much about :)
