Fighting Naturalist

I think if filmmakers are going to spend many, many millions of dollars making a film, there should at least be a whole ass ship to show for it. No AI. No green screen. Just build a fucking ship and get hundreds of grubby men to run around on it, shouting and running each other through with swords.

While two idiots who love each other play duets.

One of the two main characters being a scrawny scraggky gay man who he cannot let be for two minutes is just so. yah. "Oh I'm bored, I'll just torture Steven for the twenty thousandth time or kill a character he's attached to or strand him on a random island, yeah, that'll make it interesting."

Sorry, that was in the the post I must have deleted it. Yes, wedding dresses would be worn again. Fabric was very expensive at the time so except perhaps for royalty (we still have those gowns suggesting they weren't worn much), they'd be worn again.

As demonstrated in Emma 2020, the gowns in the Regency were very convertible and had removable parts. So a wedding gown would be at peak fancy, but then could be adapted to more regular use.

Stephen:

Stephen is the roving indoor/outdoor cat of the Surprise. You never really know where he’s been and he comes back smelling weird or in mysterious disarray, but as long as he returns home to his kibble and purrs it’s gauche to look into it too deeply.
