“I do not mean to say anything for this Government at all. But this country is our territory as much as it is any man’s; it belongs to is all together, and if we only sit here eating cows while Napoleon is trying to take it away, we have no right to complain of anything… You only think you have things as you like, because you have never seen anything better…”
— Temeraire, on the defense of England, Victory of Eagles
Go Laurence, go!! One of my favourite scenes, I couldn't resist and had to draw it. Laurence was a badass and Rankin got exactly the treatment he deserved, little bastard.
(Don't count this as part of my private quest to draw chapters in Temeraire, because this is chapter twelve and I'd like to go chronologically, except this has lived in my head for far too long.)
Also, I'm putting the sketch here for once, because I like Laurence's expression there more – the colors have muted it a bit.
Some of yall acting like bonzo being a bear instead a twink means “dont fuck him” , and that by twinking him he suddenly is attractive and yall are doing some unexpected subversive thing
