#temeraire

Finally reading (listening to) Naomi Novik's Temeraire series. So far, enjoying His Majesty's Dragon, and not only because the narration is excellent.

Turner's painting depicts this once-mighty gladiator of the seas being towed down a burnished River Thames by a much more recently invented steam-powered tugboat.

Socially Liberal, Fiscally Draconic: Complicating Narratives of Political Reform in the 19th Century, by BaronetCoins

archiveofourown.org/works/6142

➜ yuletide fanfic, for Temeraire

➜ in the form of a student's essay written centuries later about Temeraire's political career after the war

➜ absolutely delightful, the things you can see about what the standard narrative about Temeraire must have been, that this student is trying to upend!

➜ and it's so right about Temeraire, too....his temperament is revolutionary but he loves money too much to be in favour of any politics that might lead to him having less of it

➜ also, love the very Student Essay nature of it, with most of the footnoted sources leading back to a single book, lol

➜ 1k words in length

I am a Fairly Old Person who's been hanging around various fandoms for a few decades. Socialist, queer, kinky, neurodivergent, somewhat disabled.

My main fannish interest right now is #StrayKids (#skz). I've been skz-posting so much that I decided to make a side account, @skrr, just for skz-posting. Older skz posts will stay on this account, and new skz posts will be on @skrr.

Other fannish hyperfixations (past and present, major and minor) include:
- #ModaoZushi & #TheUntamed (especially #WangXian and #JuniorQuartet)
- #TianGuanCiFu
- #StreetDanceOfChina
- #YiZhan RPF (Wang Yibo / Xiao Zhan)
- #WangYibo himself (I'm responsible for the @YiboSemiDaily image-posting bot)
- #WordOfHonor
- #LegendOfFei
- #Given manga and anime
- #DemonSlayer
- #BokuNoHeroAcademia
- #HunterXHunter
- #TheAdventureZone
- #JeevesAndWooster
- #OurFlagMeansDeath
- #DetroitBecomeHuman
- #AubreyMaturin
- #Temeraire
- #OxygenNotIncluded
- #TheSims4
- #TheLordOfTheRings
- #XenaWarriorPrincess

I don't actively post about these things much these days, but you might see them pop up occasionally.

I occasionally visit other social sites (tumblr, tiktok, reddit) and boost stuff there, but almost never post in those places.

My non-fannish interests include #permaculture, #urbanism, #tarot, #manicure art, #chickens, and fibre arts, especially #knitting.

Some of my old knitting patterns are on Ravelry:

My username is inspired by drunk Lan Zhan offering Wei Ying chickens as a courting gift, in The Untamed.

I’m #reading the #Temeraire series and noticed in letters that people sign off with “yours, etc.” or sometimes simply “etc.” Love it, going to start using the same.
