210 years ago today: the Battle of Lake Erie on 10 September 1813, Royal Navy Captain Robert Heriot Barclay vs. U.S. Navy Captain Oliver Hazard Perry.
Barclay was a veteran of the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, and in 1807 he lost an arm leading a boarding party. He repeatedly appealed to James Yeo, the commanding Royal Navy officer in the region, for more sailors and arms, but was denied in his requests and Perry's squadron ultimately triumphed.

TG:M HEAD CANNON #2
How the Top Gun callbacks got their callsigns (3/12 in this Post)
Rooster: In no way, shape, or form is he a morning person. Yes, his dad called him Rooster, but it was just solidified after he managed to fall down the stairs, break a coffee mug, and burn toast, thus setting off the smoke alarm, all in one morning. If anyone was asleep, there was no way in hell that they were after all of that. A new unspoken rule was created there after, always, always, be awake before Rooster.
^Might not be a morning person, but boy does he thrive at night, also might be in possession of a huge dick-
Phoenix: Only a few know how she got her callsign, the topic usually being closely guarded or the topic being blatantly ignored. Smoking, being very normal in any form of military, was a common sight around base. Those who smoked getting mandatory breaks designated for the bad habit. And so what did Naval Academy Phoenix do? She smoked, only for the pure fact of getting a break at least twice a day. Being called to the Admiral's office with haste, she managed to forget she was holding a lit cigarette till she stepped into the office, thus tossing it into the trash can filled with paper. Half way through their conversation about her options after graduation, the trash can caught fire. Later, that trash can was filled with ashes, and what rises from the ruble? Her callsign, now decided as Phoenix.
^ Deemed a pyromaniac, I mean look at her eyes, she loves chaos, unless his name is Hangman, threatens him with the dick in her drawer
Bob: Many think this is just a shortened version of his name (Robert), but, In the small Midwest town he lived in, the one his mom grew up in and returned to after her long stay in Oklahoma, his mom was known as being the youngest of all her siblings, earning the title 'Baby'. Bob was stationed in Texas half-way through his training, and his mom came during a family visit. She introduced herself to all the other parents as Baby as she fawned over her only son, proclaiming how much she missed the boy and how the house was just falling apart without his manly strength. After family day was over, and the extended goodbye Bob's mom gave him, he gained the nickname "Baby's only boy", later shortened to B.O.B.
^Big manly man like his mother says he is, and no one believes him till someone hits on his sister, after that he callsign was almost changed to BDE by the women plus Hangster, y’all know what that stands for.

ok so here’s a thing about hob gadling that i feel does not often get reflected in headcanons - he is not a hero. He has no hero complex to go save the day, bring justice, punish bad guys, what have you. He is a perfectly ordinary guy who just wants to live his life and experience all it has to offer, the good and the bad. He’s no role model. He ain’t here to do heroic deeds and always make the right choice, he is not morally perfect, we can see all of this throughout the years in the life choices he makes. As a soldier, he doesn’t care what side he’s fighting on as long as it can keep him occupied and fed and clothed. He supported the slavery business for chrissake. Of course, he learns and gets better and wiser with experience but. He ain’t gonna use his immortality to become some sort of superhero vigilante. Even that little fistfight to defend dream was more for show than anything. Sure, hob’s been in many fights and has the skills, and he might even chase that thief who stole the purse of the granny he was about to help to cross the street, but he ain’t gonna make that his purpose, his mission. He is not your superman and he isn’t even your friendly neighbourhood spiderman. He’s just hob, and if you fuck with him you gonna find out, but he’s not gonna look for trouble himself. He’s here for a long time and a good time, not to get involved in shit that does not concern him. And you know what, i fuckin respect that. I love that about him.

Mouchette: A Broken Girl in an Abusive World
Here is a piece I wrote about Robert Bresson's coming of age film Mouchette, a big influence on the work of Celine Sciamma. Give it a read but be forewarned, it is a bleak one for a bleak film.
Robert Bresson sits at a particularly awkward position within French cinema studies categorically speaking. His most famous work is associated with the French New Wave, but he predates the movement by decades, existing within the French Cinematic Golden Age and working through the loathed “Papa’s Cinema” era of post-war cinema preceding the New Wave. He developed a deeply idiosyncratic aesthetic…
