i was reading some of those one sentence horror stories and one of them was “hello passengers this isn’t your captain speaking” and i just thought wow that is exactly something Arthur Shappey would say and then the passengers would be startled and Carolyn would be like “good grief” and Martin would freak out and Douglas would probably cut him off like “your pilots would like to assure you that this aircraft is not being hijacked.”
So, 13 ½ hours or so driving to st louis, and 14 back. One of the things we did to entertain ourselves was listen to Cabin Pressure, because hubby actually likes it. We got through Rotterdam and he’s very very not happy that Zurich will be the end. I believe his response was “Awww, can’t they start over?”
Also, thanks to tiger-in-the-flightdeck I actually caught the reference when they called someone ‘Raffles’.
hercules shipwright as a father figure to arthur is super important
bc herc obviously values arthur and is willing to tell him that he’s proud of himlike the first time they ever met herc said he was impressed
and what’s even better is that herc was impressed by and valued the side to arthur that gordon probably despised, his optimistic cheeriness in the face of problems and his ”childishness” wanting to play games. and like even other people who care about arthur don’t encourage him in that very often (he tells wendy in wokingham that he loves playing games and can never get anyone to play with him)i bet at first arthur doesn’t really know how to react to having someone he looks up to approve of him and he wants to keep herc being proud of him and so he tries to be as helpful and polite and not silly towards herc as he can and does things like spend ages trying to work out how to make vegan coffee (and failing because he ends up putting milk in it anyway but herc tells him not to worry)
one time arthur gets worried because carolyn and herc are snapping at eachother and he;s scared it’ll end up like gordon and carolyn did but herc notices that arthur’s looking stressed and raises his eyebrows pointedly at carolyn and concedes the debated point until later and takes care to make sure that arthur knows they’re not seriously fighting, just bickering (“like skip and douglas do?”)
herc likes arthur a lot and doesn’t want arthur to be disappointed in him
