Damn it! I forgot I cannot drink more than a cup of coffee now.

Stupid heart.

Stupid anxiety.

Stupid medication that is supposed to help with that but only makes me sleepy

First name-ing him while demanding he kill for you is A Lot.

I mean, those articles of war were pretty heavy handed with the hanging offences. So, in a way, Horatio is also protecting him.

GOALS

Send me to Mars with party supplies before next august 5th

No guys you don’t understand.

The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.

So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.

This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.

That’s not sad, that’s awesome.

*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing

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

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.

[faneliana]

You people have too much influence over me.

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

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

Goddamn
