He’s red and he’s white and he’s green and he’s grey / My bonny young dragon, come hither away...

Keith Windham and Nuntius, out of Luzula's stunning Flight of the Heron/Temeraire crossover fic 'The Flight of Dragons.'

#em draws stuff #em is posting about temeraire #temeraire #the flight of the heron #keith windham #PART ONE of the current massive I Need To Illustrate Other People's Tem Crossover Fic project! #luzula's fic is a really cool exploration of eighteenth century temverse britain and explores a lot of things that I too wished to know #about the history and variation of dragon-human partnership even within the british isles!! #really I think that this fic can and should be read by temeraire enjoyers even if they haven't read foth #(but also. if you read this and then want to read foth about this. More power to you &c &c) #other important thing to note here is how much nuntius's design owes to both the incredible tem fanart cataloguing being done by #esteemed tumblr user travellingdragon!! and their own design for greylings!! #...it was so weird to draw keith in a 1740s approximation of aviator uniform. he looks like just some guy now :] #also. caption lyrics are a modified version of real folk song 'my bonny moorhen' because I think I'm v funny and clever

Here it is. Ten seconds of my suffering.

I'm happy with how it came out, but after doing it I'm quickly realizing that there will be no more of this until I finish my exams.

(Side note, the video compression messed up some parts but also made the clouds looks super cool, so I'll take it.)

Studying history in the Temeraire universe must get really strange once dragons are recognized as historical figures in their own right. You read about Temeraire in class. He’s one of the most important figures in the napoleonic wars and the subsequent period of reforms. The photograph of him in your textbook is a sepia toned one from the 1860s. You know intellectually that he’s still alive but you don’t really comprehend it until you catch his cameo in The Dark Knight Rises. He insisted on making an appearance because it was filmed in his captain’s childhood home. He’s playing himself. He has a four line conversation with Batman.

#Temeraire #Wollaton hall really is Wayne manor in TDKR #so Laurence grew up in Batman’s house #which is one explanation for why he keeps adopting so many kids

very funny that the overarching plot of the Temeraire books is “closeted centrist bisexual is radicalized by his large cat, who is a dragon, and also napoleon is there”

I think constantly about the absolute panic Laurence felt that a ✨LADY✨ might see him with his shirt untucked.

So much so that he physically hid behind Temeraire.

cuties (:

#I actually really like how this turned out............. #my art #temeraire #john granby #william laurence #tenzing tharkay #this picture is after a few drinks btw #I think Laurence secretly likes being touched but yk he's very stoic and he REFUSES to ask for it so everyone kind of assumes he doesn't?? #but it. comes out a lil when he's drunk. #Tharkay is very unused to it but he's definitely not. opposed. to being touched. especially if its by Laurence... #Granby meanwhile does this all the time. #hes always falling asleep on people and clapping them on the shoulders and nudging them with his hip to get their attention #but it takes him like a bajillion years to hug Laurence for the first time cuz yk. Laurence is. Laurence. #and Laurence is also hesitant to initiate things like that bc he doesn't want to be weird (ITS NOT WEIRD TO HUG YOUR BEST FRIEND LAURENCE.) #tharkay meanwhile has never had very much desire to get close to someone physically or paid very much attention to it #and then he meets Laurence. who barely ever touches anyone. and suddenly whenever their hands brush tharkay is hyperaware of it #I have no idea what I'm saying #I've got a big fat cold and I deadass almost took my ADHD meds on accident instead of ibuprofen... it's 11pm. #that is to say. I'm a touch delirious #so I apologize sincerely if I completely mischaracterized them

quietly encouraging all my aro/ace besties who want some good platonic-focused fiction to read Temeraire. it's a man and a dragon. dragon and his man. they call themselves "my dearest" and snuggle and then negotiate the end of slavery. what's not to love.

oh my god the like. modern history university students moaning and complaining about their assignments and "how am I supposed to remember where this guy went first he's been bloody everywhere!" and joking about blaming all world events in the past 20 years on Will Laurence because it's like a 50/50 chance and there's all these heated classroom debates about whether he made the right choice because he was preventing war crimes or whether he's a dangerous terrorist who should be in prison and then somebody points out like "I mean he's on Twitter, see he just posted about the swallows nesting in his shed, his husband trains birds" and they're all "he's GAY???"

#temeraire #dottie rambles #the temeraire twitter au #if they'd been paying better attention in class they'd know he's actually bi #10 percent of their final grades at least

[pappadu]

gotta stop myself from binge-reading all the temeraire books somehow
