I'm watching the episode now, actually, and I'm just marvelling at how well put together the clips in your vid are. I swear to God that I could have watched those same exact scenes 3003030 times. The reptition works really well, actually, because there is a lot of circling and repeating with book Horatio/Bush, and yeah. I would never, ever, ever have thought of putting them together that way and to such moody, intense music.
God, I love that video. *_* I had it queued in Winamp on repeat for about 95% of the time that I was writing this fic, and I ended up lifting the title from that one line that's like, "Caught in the undertow, caught in the undertow." *_*
And while I'm FREAKING YOU OUT with my previously hidden fangirliness, I might as well admit this, too. Tbe picture of Bush that you have up in this post is pretty much my favorite piece of fandom artwork.
It's just fantastic -- the v. period pose, the classic work for the eyes, the fact that Bush himself would probably rather face down a battery with a lee shore than sit and have something like that made of him. I've spent entirely too much time dreaming away at all the different ways that picture could have come into existence in the canon Hornblower universe. One of Bush's sisters drew it as a grown-up replacement for that miniature painting! Maria drew it during that long boring winter and gives it to Horatio when he goes back after Caudebec! Lady Barbara did it one day out of sheer, stifling boredom because she couldn't really quite well make Horatio sit for her and that's why Bush was sitting at her feet that one time we hear him talking to her about how great Horatio is and how he's just like Nelson -- she was drawing him on deck, and well, the light was starting to go, but she didn't want to go down below yet, so she decided to kill two birds with one stone and ask him about the one thing that she knew he'd have a wealth of conversation stored up for!
Etc, etc, etc. So yes. I love that picture beyond all rational words.
And yeah. Bush/Horatio is excruciatingly hard to write. They change so much in the coure of the books. *_* I'm glad, though, that Undertow is being helpful in some way. It's still a really unsatisfying thing to me because the middle is all muddled and the language isn't as crisp as it should be in certain places. We'll just have to both keep plugging at it, eh?
there are a crapload of them so the relationship with HH is goddamned tricky to get down into 25 words or less
It's probably the fact that I'm braindead, but why 25 words or less?
