The process by which one becomes reconciled to motherfucking goddamn awful canon developments that seem to barrel out of nowhere and ARGH PAIN. -_-
Mmm. Captain Archie. I have difficulty imagining him old enough to command a ship of the line, but I can totally see him commanding a sleek, fast piece like the Retribution running circles around the heavy frigates. <3
And you're right. Archie would take to patronage much more poorly than Bush would. He has those Issues with being saved by Hornblower, you know? I think they're mostly solved by Frogs and Lobsters by the fact that he has to nurse H though the post-Mariette painz0r, but they'd come flying back if Hornblower snagged him a promotion. And he's not as hard-headedly practical as Bush is, so he wouldn't get over it.
