there’s something endlessly hilarious to me about the phrase “hotly debated” in an academic context. like i just picture a bunch of nerds at podiums & one’s like “of course there was a paleolithic bear cult in Northern Eurasia” and another one just looks him in the eye and says “i’l kill you in real life, kevin”

And the best headline of the year goes to….

Your Master & Commander posting entertains me a lot, I've never read it or seen the movie so literally 100% of my entirely secondhand knowledge about Aubrey and Maturin at this point comes from you.

And I was just sitting here looking at the gifset of Russell Crow Aubrey and thinking about your depiction of him and going, "I love how Leona's drawings of Maturin and Aubrey interacting have this undertone that reads to me like Leona is saying 'oh I guess you COULD say I ship them, but actually getting around to fucking would be the sanest and also least interesting thing these freaks could do'"

And I love that for you. Never stop.

Thats incredibly exact read on how I feel about them.

I am also a big fan of yearning, and characters not getting what they desire/deserve. Or characters not realizing there is something they could desire within reach.

And...to me as an ace, them being in some kind of codependent/symbiotic queerplatonic relationship, where when together, they work as one mostly functional organism, is enough.

#oh I guess you COULD say I ship them #but actually getting around to fucking would be the sanest and also least interesting thing these freaks could do #i would usually be in the i ship them camp but this is also a 100% correct take on this men #aubreyad

one of my favorite things in Master & Commander the book is there's a side character with a blatant huge gay crush on Jack and everyone else is like "does he know... he has to know... there's no way he doesn't know..." and then you get Jack's POV and it's extremely clear that this man is a remarkably smart dog who was bred to understand the world strictly in terms of Ships (fantastic) and Not Ships (?)

we need fewer songs about falling in love and breaking up and MORE songs about famous disasters of the sea

being told you’d cruise the seas for american gold you’d fire no guns, shed no tears, now you’re a broken man on a halifax pier might not be a universal experience, but like neither is the club. so a little perspective might be nice

It’s strangely reassuring to know that one of the great constants over six thousand years of human history is the impulse to give animals wheels.

Maybe I’m just tired, but what on earth are you referring to?

Okay but this doesn’t include my favorite:

Even people who had no other use for wheels liked to put animals on wheels

Star Trek can make as many new series and movies as they like, and still nothing will ever truly beat the golden awkwardness of this one shining minute of dialogue.
