Day 18 of my Inktober project: my personal heroes of page and screen.

The Honor Harrington series by David Weber entered my life in 1998, after I’d read my way through all the then-available Star Wars books, and was looking for some other space opera to fill the waiting time until Episode 1. (We will forget quickly that I said that.)

The Honor books fascinated me greatly back then. It was the first military SciFi I’d ever read, and it remained on my mind and in my sketchbooks for years. What really intrigued me was the fact that David Weber had created a universe in which gender and race were completely inconsequential. In many books, I came across a character who made me think, “In any other book, this one would have been the other gender.” I absolutely loved that idea. It felt to me as if the author had created a fully fleshed-out character first, and then rolled a die for gender and another for race. I loved that.

Especially the first handful of books was excellent, really suspenseful, and most of all, I fell in love with the characters. Not so much with Honor, interestingly (though I love her six-legged treecat Nimitz, who in turn loves celery). My favourites were Scotty Tremaine, Alistair McKeon, Thomas Theisman, Shannon Foraker, and of course, Andreas Venizelos. When he died a hero’s death in book seven, I pretty much gave up the series. The Honorverse just wasn’t the same without Andy. So here he steals the spotlight, as a young lieutenant  serving as tactical officer on HMS Fearless in the first book, On Basilisk Station. A lot is made of his sex appeal throughout the series (though he himself seems totally unaware of it) and I think it’s hilarious that his first command was HMS Apollo.

Stephanie “YOU NEVER WENT TO PROM?” Brown & Jason “I died at fifteen you fucking nugget” Todd going to Steph’s last prom together as friends

@stephaniebrrown *grease voice* tell me more tell me more

Listen,,

  • Jason is like “ugggh whatever fine” when Steph asks him to be her date, so she doesnt expect him at all to drop by her house two days later to ask her what kind of dress she’s going to wear, so he can buy an appropriate suit
  • “So…you want us to match” “of course i want us to match, what are we? Grayson? Also, if you say you’re wearing purple im calling this whole thing off”
  • “well now that you mention it, i havent bought anything yet. I’m waiting for my paycheck and-” “Are you kidding me? Let’s just hack into Bruce’s bank account and buy something cool and expensive” “I like the way think, Joanne the scammer. Jason the scammer. Jasnner the-ah c’mon that was a funny one!”
  • Stephanie does end up wearing a purple dress (no, not purple. My bad. Eggplant)
  • Jason goes along with an eggplant dress shirt, cute as a button
  • (Bruce calls Jason a week later, “you know you could have asked me, right? I wouldn’t have said no” “and where’s the fun on that? the robbery? the fraud?”)
  • imagine this: they show up dressed to the nines, with sunglasses and walking in sync. They probably think they look cool, the pair of nerds.
  • (though they look amazing so nobody really thinks they look like dorks)
  • When Jason gets asked if they’re dating he’s like “she’s a sister from a different tomb” “uh, don’t you mean womb?” “i know what i said my guy”
  • ON A SIMILAR NOTE, they definitely get the dj to play thriller, and Steph records Jason dancing to it. She probs sends it to everyone with the caption “back to his roots :~)”
  • they’re the assholes who get in the middle of couples yelling “leave space for jesus!!” 
  • (they make a competition out of it, see who annoys more couples) 
  • They take some pictures with Harper (who brought Cass as her date), and have like three dances off with them 
  • “If you dab Brown, i swear to go-oh my god i don’t know you”
  • one of Steph’s classmates is like “not to sound rude but you have such a type Steph! He looks like a more handsome version of Drake!”
  • (Jason wheezes and has to excuse himself out of the conversation) (Then begs Stephanie to let him use that against Tim)
  • ( “if you tell him, i’m showing everyone the video of one of the chaperones pinching your cheeks” “yOU SAID YOU WEREN’T FILMING THAT”)
  • at some point, right before leaving, they also make the dj play Grease songs, because they love musicals and they just had to show off their dance moves okay? You haven’t lived unless you have seen them dancing You’re the One that I Want
  • they leave early to grab burgers and milkshakes on a diner near the school. The music was already giving Jason a headache, and Steph’s heels were killing her
  • they end up taking more pictures on the diner, with the waitress judging them for spilling milkshake on their expensive clothes, than in the prom

OK no but seriously, after they leave they win prom queen and prom king and there’s just silence, because they’re not there until someone in the crowd speaks up and says they’re out getting milkshakes and live-tweeting it and it’s just Legendary. Like they don’t even realise the impression they’ve left coz they were just busy having a good time.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how similar is Celegorm to Gaston from Beauty and the Beast?

thelioninmybed:

Celegorm: Who does she think she is? That girl has tangled with the wrong Elf! No one says “no” to Celegorm!
Curufin: Heh heh. Darn right.
Celegorm: Dismissed! Rejected! Publicly humiliated! Why, it’s more than I can bear.
Curufin: More ale?
Celegorm: What for? Nothing helps. I’m disgraced.
Curufin: Who, you? Never! Celegorm, you’ve got to pull yourself together.
