When Laurence is like, the aviators don't know how to keep a log, Dorset only cares about plants... Oh, I know, I'm going to put the Doomsday enthusiast to the task. Meanwhile, Tharkay is writing accurate estimates of distance and position in his log, only he can't show it to Laurence because he's doodling W+T=<3 on every page

I just want you all to know that I can’t read this line in Victory of Eagles without also imagining this scene:
*Laurence, sitting alone and sobbing quietly over a book*
Very alarmed Granby, running over: “Laurence, what’s the matter??”
Laurence, looking up, face streaked with tears: “I hate math so fucking much”

can you even IMAGINE the absolutely INCOMPREHENSIBLE levels of Awkward Sexual Tension that are going on in Tharkay’s Scottish estate. Two stupid gentlemen with more discretion and honor than brains, obliviously skirting around one another. we’re talking Austen levels of stubbornly avoiding love confessions here. their hands accidentally brush and Laurence is so confused by the resulting emotions that he doesn’t talk to anyone but Temeraire for ages. Granby visits and it’s supposed to be for a week but by the time two days have passed he’s about ready to lose his mind. Jane is writing increasingly exasperated letters and if she wasn’t kept so busy as an Admiral she’d have gone up there and kicked their asses into bed with one another months ago. even the dragons have noticed

jack aubrey in various bisexual poses
1) moode. the drama. look at that half light. the man knows his angles and he is making it werk
2) look at this. the panache, the drama. i think we all want to stand at the prow of a tall ship as she cuts through the ocean like a sabre. big bi mood
3) why hang out on deck when you can be shouty from a perilous angle
4) he’s up there again
5) bisexual culture: holding both your pistols at jaunty angles while a hobbit grimaces behind you
6) artistic parallels with valkyrie, another known bi, in that scene from ragnarok
7) just for the thrill of it. an icon
8) <comment not found>
9) team…. it’s the sit…..
10) i honestly think this one speaks for itself
