Remember what they took from us

Aubrey and Maturin teaming up with Richard Sharpe and Horatio Hornblower for the greatest crossover of British Napoleonic War story protagonists ever.

This is a @postoctobrist.bsky.social skeet

I remember the Old Internet encounters between the Aubrey/Maturin fans who were middle-aged gents with a Napoleonic-era navy fixation, and the Aubrey/Maturin fans who were young lasses with a thing for rum, sodomy and the lash. They were mutually bemused by each other's favourite ships.

we gotta have ugly maturin

The Mouse is lord of holywood. Genres are now battlefields.

I really enjoyed the action and drama of the movie as-is, but ngl I feel a tiny bit cheated of all the intrigue Maturin was involved in. Oh, and getting to see Diana.

😂
