Sentiment and wishful thinking. No use at all.

Oh so this was the basis of Robert Lindsay's unhinged acting choices for all eight episodes of the show

The lieutenant in particular.

Pellew meeting Hornblower: Huh. Little guy.

Pellew a few weeks later: Oh, he's insane actually (approving, affectionate).

Havers glaring/sending a look to the other officers when they laughed at the Captain, but gentle when he said, ‘I don’t think the Germans will be here quite yet, sir’

Havers pushing through the crowd when the Captain collapsed, being angry and snapping at Cartwright, but only speaking softly to the Captain.

Even when he could’ve, should’ve (by 1940’s military and societal standards) kept his distance in every sense of the word, Havers was as soft on the Captain as the Captain was on him.

Havers stopped him from confessing so the Captain would be safe from having his reputation dragged through the mud after death. Havers still risked his own reputation by holding the Captain’s hand for comfort, made sure that the last time someone spoke to him, he was not addressed as his rank, just ‘James’.

“you’re just mad that they didn’t kiss again” yeah you know what i fucking i am. what do you mean they shared the worst first kiss in history fuelled by grief and despair and then vanished from existence without ever knowing what it’s like to kiss someone out of love and joy

I recently learned an old French euphemism for bisexuality. It means to be powered "by sail and steam," and it absolutely comes from a specific flavor of 19th-century ship.

HMS Terror and Erebus were bisexual, you heard it here first.

Happy Pride!
