One more piece of Temeraire fanart for you before I head off to bed: http://fav.me/d1j2a6d (Read the description, too)
"I had a severe professor-crush on a British man, and it is the cutest thing in the world if you can get one to blush. (That was a pure accident, and it took the entire class reciting the title of one of his books at him without any pre-arranged signal, but it was hilarious.)" <3! :D I currently have a crush on this amazing tour guide we had in York. We three girls went out drinking with him afterwards and oh my goodness word that came out of his mouth made me smile at him even more. (Also, his stories got more and more funny and badass as the hours passed.) I think North Americans are predisposed to think of British accents as being automatically more hot and more intelligent. :)
"for the other story, using Harry as Laurence would have been puzzling in the rebirth sense." Oh most definitely. I love the Temeraire!Harry that the author wrote. :3 Super cute!
"They did switch companies, but not all that recently." It would have been back when I actually was in girl guides, so that would have been... oh goodness, like ten years ago or more. D: I feel old.
"I OWN ONE SNAKE. HIS NAME IS NEVILLE AND HE IS A SWEETHEART. MY ROOMMATE OWNS SIX." ... I CAN HAS PHOTOGRAPHS?? He sounds adorable! :D What kind of snake is he?
" the royal python is a complete sweetheart, and /afraid of his food/. Cutest thing in the apartment. If the rat touches him, he won't eat it." THAT IS EVEN MORE ADORABLE. Seriously. Why do people hate snakes? :(( I've loved them for years, since I was a small child. My love for snakes was clinched when I visited a reptile house in Drumheller (the Dinosaur capital of Canada!) and my sister and I got to hold a ball python. :3 I loved it. Snakes have lovely soft scales to touch.
""Oh he'd try, but Jane can be VERY convincing... :3" She could convince ME, I think. She's pretty damn awesome." SHE COULD CONVINCE ANYONE! I've read fics that are Jane/Tharkay... and I think I remember reading one (crack?) crossover in which she seduced all of the heroines of the Jane Austen novels. >_> I also read one alternate universe in which Jane seduced a female!Laurence. Yeah. I don't think any of these fics were explicit, it was mostly for the lulz and to play with the character. JANE WOULD TOTALLY DO IT, TOO.
"The scene where Laurence frog-marched Rankin over, and that was all his poor dragon ever wanted... I was really close to crying there." I KNOW! ;_; I really hope that there's a scene in the series in which Rankin actually realizes what he did. >:(
"It's rude to introduce himself, but Jane is a well-respected Captain and obviously quite fond of the Navy man. That will knock over a lot of the concerns about an outsider with a very impressive dragon." That's exactly what I was thinking. Maybe Granby will stop being a dick sooner?
