As much of a gut punch as The Reverse Of The Medal is, this has to be one of the best insults ever written:

Answer in summary:

1) Guys being bros helps ease modern male loneliness and positive male role models abound

2) Life aboard a ship in a historical setting promises to be fulfilling in a way soulless modern drudgery is not

3) Incredible practical effects give a sense of weight that modern CGI-heavy films lack

4) Genuinely well-crafted script with slower leisurely scenes and meaningful conversations that results in a deliberate pace instead of a crummy half-script that exists for no reason other than to string together a bunch of action scenes

And since the article covers almost everything I have a problem with in modern films, I’ll add in one that isn’t mentioned but which should be obvious:

5) THE ACTORS HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR SCRIPT AND THUS KNOW HOW THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO ACT TO PROGRESS AN ACTUAL STORY

#movies #films #movies and tv #screenwriting #screenplay #spec script #it's basically the antithesis of big blockbusters today #god I miss films that had an actual story to tell #master and commander #filmmaking #aubreyad #aubrey-maturin series

Aubrey-Maturin fans talking about Star Trek: Yes, the two franchises share DNA in that they both descend from the Hornblower novels, but really they are quite different, with divergent tones and purposes. Star Trek fans talking about Master and Commander: THAT’S A STAR TREK BAYBEEE

#this unrelatable post brought to you by my current fixations #Star Trek #Master and Commander #aubrey-maturin series #I wonder if early Trek fans read these books #they are Spirk-y AF

when the media you love the most can be classified as "people on a ship become a found family and also there is a ton of homoerotic tension!"

Not for the faint of heart but…

If Dr. Maturin can operate on himself I can sure as hell throw a couple sutures in my finger if I’m stupid enough to slice it with a knife while cutting vegetables.

Round 1 Part 8 Poll 2

Propaganda

Spoilers ahead

Crow is what's called a "spore eater", which protects her from physical harm but also causes severe dehydration. Like most spore eaters, she feels the tradeoff is not worth it, so she manipulates her crew into piracy so they'll be desperate enough to venture into the dangerous seas where the dragon Xisisrefliel lives, as Xisis is reputed to be able to "cure" spore eaters. (It turns out that the cure requires ongoing maintenance from the dragon in order to be ongoingly effective, so her plan was flawed to begin with.)

It's Lucky Jack! On his very first command, took a frigate with a sloop, and filled up Port Mahón with prizes. He's a disaster on land, kind of shit with money, but he is brilliant at sea, ingenious and strategically minded. He loves his wife, Sophie, and his bestie, Stephen Maturin, and he gets up to all sorts of hijinks with the latter. He rescued Stephen from being tortured by the French, actually, and Stephen frequently uses his own connections to try and work to Jack's advantage. He's obsessed with gunnery, and his crew generally love him because he's disciplined but not a hard-horse, plus he's lucky and brings them lots of prizes and prize money. He's a jock, but later in life he starts to love math for its own sake, as well as becoming an astronomer of no mean ability; he's presented papers on math and astronomy to the Royal Society. He's a great musician, a violinist, and his duets with Stephen (a cellist) are so incredibly touching to read about. His music is just... beautiful. Stephen's hands were wrecked by torture, and later on we find out that Jack's been downplaying his own ability to match Stephen's level, because he'd rather play average with Stephen than perfectly alone.

There's so much more I could say but tldr he's the best I love him.

Before I'd read the Aubreyad I would see Temeraire (which I had already read) being pitched as Aubreyad-with-dragons and I'd think, OK, sounds reasonable; and I guess it's true in the broad sense of "Age of Sail and the driving relationship of the series is an odd-couple friendship," and in the sense that that's apparently literally where it started. But those serial numbers have been very thoroughly filed off. I don't think there are two men in the Royal Navy more different than Aubrey and Laurence.

Except Hornblower. I guess Aubrey and Laurence look pretty similar if they're standing (as they often are in fandom) next to Hornblower. But that man has things wrong with him that are unprecedented in the human psyche.

#aubreyad #aubrey-maturin #temeraire #temeraire series #NOT tagging this for hornblower. although hornblower fans do seem to *agree* w me about this #is there some kind of naomi novik don't look tag? I'm not used to temeraire fandom #to be clear I don't intend this as a negative post or anything. it just isn't aimed at the author
