Re: Hornblower and his age play/mommy kink

The three people this shows up with are 1) woman he sleeps with 2) his best friend of 15 years 3) his mistress-turned-wife

And you know, what better name for a mother figure than Mary or, you know...

[boatcats]

The back of the Retribution DVD calls Lt. Buckland "bumbling Captain Butland."

By the way.

[faneliana]

Oh, it is only fitting.

2 pages into Virgil's Aeneid and this is in the foot notes.

My mind cannot escape Hornblower...

[deckhanddandy]

WHY IS HE ALWAYS STANDING ON DECK NAKED

[faneliana]

It is kind of ironic that he doesn't mind having everyone look at him naked, but god forbid a glimpse of true feeling makes it through.

You people have too much influence over me.

You’re laughing. His scalp got sunburned and you’re laughing.

Love this man

bracelet that says WWHHDPSW (what would horatio hornblower do probably something worse)

[heathcliffgirl1847]

this post is about a stupid coping strategy i have where i will have some over the top reaction to a mistake or some other act. and then before i start attacking myself for both the mistake and the reaction i will stop and think "how would horatio hornblower deal with this" and then i will feel really mentally reasonable and healthy

[heathcliffgirl1847]

PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL

[faneliana]

Proof that Hornblower is for us, the Anxiety ridden.

His son is named Richard? His son’s name is Dick Hornblower?????

[rulebaetannia]

Still somehow better than his namesake Horatio Nelson naming his daughter Horatia

[faneliana]

Goddamn

[faneliana]

There is something about hand kisses that just... it is so damn romantic.

[leona-florianova]

Man is named Hornblower and doesnt even play any wind instruments...

doesnt like nor understand music at all... completely tone-deaf..

If I was wordplay and nomen omen loving musical man like JA, such revelation would have probably deeply saddened me... *but its also really funny..

[faneliana]

Ok so people are like "Go Netherlands" because England beat Mexico. But:

1) I rather have lost to the best than to someone who went on to lose the very next match

2) I kinda want the final to be France vs England. Because, you know...just for giggles.

[faneliana]

So I am supporting England over Argentina as a matter of honour, and France over Spain for the giggles .

“Sauve qui peut”. This is a French phrase that translates literally to something like "save yourself who's able/can" and roughly equates to “run for your life!” or “every man for himself!”, indicating a chaotic or dangerous situation/stampede. Postcard from my collection, no date/info.
