Transgender william bush. Please hear me out on this headcanon. That is all

Ok listen. Look at this. Forester had every opportunity to frame this as just two dudes having a bro moment. Perfectly non-homosexual yet still tender platonic male behavior. But instead he specifically chose to say Bush stroked Hornblower's hand "like a woman's." It's not my fault. I didn't do that

This was so cute

I still think about how weeks ago I saw someone say "Hornblower spends a lot of the books being wet and sad" as a mark against the books, and I simply cannot imagine having such different priorities and tastes in life to where that is a detriment. that's like the #1 thing you can say to me to make me interested in something

Very bold of Forester to open Atropos with over 20 pages about Hornblower riding a boat down a canal. Surely that is what we are all here for
