I love Anne Bonny because to her, this little rat bastard of a man who is such a compulsive friend-maker that he befriends actual rats in his prison cell (and gives them encouraging motivational speeches), is treasure beyond compare.

“It was such an impressive sight, and it was more than that because it was really touching in the way that people responded, and how they did things.”

Princess Anne reflects on accompanying her mother Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin as it departed Balmoral Castle in an interview with CBC News.

Wentworth was LUCKY

Captain Wentworth was lucky. Yes, it seems like in hindsight that he was actually a good prospect for Anne, but Jane Austen also emphasizes how unlikely that was to happen. Wentworth had no post, poor connections and no money when he proposed. "Lucky" is repeated over and over:

He had been lucky in his profession; but spending freely, what had come freely, had realized nothing. But he was confident that he should soon be rich: full of life and ardour, he knew that he should soon have a ship, and soon be on a station that would lead to everything he wanted. He had always been lucky; he knew he should be so still. (Ch 4)

“Phoo! phoo!” cried the Admiral, “what stuff these young fellows talk! Never was a better sloop than the Asp in her day. For an old built sloop, you would not see her equal. Lucky fellow to get her! He knows there must have been twenty better men than himself applying for her at the same time. Lucky fellow to get anything so soon, with no more interest than his.”...

“I felt my luck, Admiral, I assure you;” replied Captain Wentworth, seriously. “I was as well satisfied with my appointment as you can desire. It was a great object with me at that time to be at sea; a very great object, I wanted to be doing something.”

..."Ah! she was a dear old Asp to me. She did all that I wanted. I knew she would. I knew that we should either go to the bottom together, or that she would be the making of me; and I never had two days of foul weather all the time I was at sea in her; and after taking privateers enough to be very entertaining, I had the good luck in my passage home the next autumn, to fall in with the very French frigate I wanted. I brought her into Plymouth; and here another instance of luck. We had not been six hours in the Sound, when a gale came on, which lasted four days and nights, and which would have done for poor old Asp in half the time; our touch with the Great Nation not having much improved our condition. Four-and-twenty hours later, and I should only have been a gallant Captain Wentworth, in a small paragraph at one corner of the newspapers; and being lost in only a sloop, nobody would have thought about me.”

..."I wished for him again the next summer, when I had still the same luck in the Mediterranean.” (Ch 8)

Wentworth's success was entirely a matter of chance.

i think saizo having an actual magic stat is so funny. like why did they do that. why is it so high. realistically, he probably learned magic to set off his stupid bombs or whatever he has more efficiency, but i think as soon as people learn about it, it just starts getting used for bullshit. he does fire magic performances to entertain the hoshidan royals like a jester. orochi and laslow make him part of their fireworks show. asugi makes him use it to help him bake because its faster than an oven. he can say no to all of these things but he doesnt because look at that man. you think he can resist the lure of setting shit on fire? no. bonfires are a regular event at his insistence
