Some old fella came up to me at work and asked a question only he didn’t quite figure out if he should call me “sir” or “ma’am” by the time he got to the end of his sentence and in a moment of apparent panic ended up saying “captain” instead. Absolutely made my day.

Ideal pronoun

I need a non-binary dragon captain in the Temeraire universe now. Bonus points if they ride a Longwing.

“Miss?”

“Captain.”

incorrect-temeraire-quotes:

Hi my name is Captain William Laurence and I have an ebony black dragon (that’s how I got my title) with blue and opal spots and tendrils and dark blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me he looks like the Yellow Emperor (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Lord Nelson but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a sailor but I fly on a dragon. I have blond hair in a queue. I’m also an aviator, and I go to a covert called Loch Laggan in Scotland where I’m in the first year (I’m thirty). I’m a gentleman (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly neckcloths. I love Chinese tailors and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a green coat with matching silk around it and a black leather flying jacket, a black neckcloth and black Hessians. I was wearing a Chinese sword, flight gloves, and two pistols. I was walking outside London. The Lords of the Admiralty stared at me. I gave them the cut direct.
