This hardly qualifies as a HAW post, but I'm all scatterbrained today. Anyway. I have this thing about the Care Bears. It would have to be my most favourite cartoon ever, and I mourned a little when my mum decided that my old Care Bear tapes should be handed down to my little cousins a few years ago. Care Bears make me happy!

Please insert tongue firmly into cheek before reading :)

	Name: Horry Bear In a past life, he was: Grumpy Bear Mission: He shows us that even if we're grumpy, we're still loved, especially if we're a hot lieutenant/captain with spiffy naval skills, exceptional luck and more sex appeal than a bucket of pheremone spray. Personality: Cranky, except when he's not. And extremely glompable. On Bush Bear: He loves Bush Bear's faithfulness and knows that he can always depend on him. He wishes that Bush Bear would get over his shyness/status hang up, though, and just jump him one day. On Archie Bear: He needs Archie Bear to help lighten his outlook on the world, and to stop him mutating into a soggy, gloomy raincloud. Sometimes all that cheerfulness can really get on his nerves, though.
	Name: Bush Bear In a past life, he was: Bashful Heart Bear Mission: He's the personification of OMG-I-Not-So-Secretly-Want-To-Jump-My-Captain Love. Personality: An extremely capable First Lieutenant who scares the living bejesus out of his junior officers, the middies and the rest of the crew with his huge bellow and tough mofo attitude. Within twenty feet of Horry Bear, though, he turns into a meek, mild and lovestruck bear, who's totally whipped by his captain - and loves it. On Horry Bear: To Bush Bear, Horry Bear is somewhat like England. There are other countries out there, and he's even been to some of them, but don't even bother trying to convince him that anything's better. He loves Horry Bear like whoa. Their love is like a fairytale <3 On Archie Bear: At first he was slightly suspicious of Archie Bear, but now that they've gotten to know each other better, they've become good friends. Plus, they can lovingly bitch about Horry Bear when he PMSes.
	Name: Archie Bear In a past life, he was: Cheer Bear Mission: He's here to provide the giggles, huggles and other assorted feel-good moments. Personality: It really says something about these three Care Bear Sailors that the prone to panic, slightly neurotic Archie Bear is cheerful one of the bunch. On Horry Bear: Horry Bear is his bestest friend and Archie Bear likes to alternately cheer him up and give him small doses of reality. He would do anything for Horry Bear, but this is Carealot so we don't have to worry about him doing angsty things like sacrificing his good name for Horry Bear and then heroicly dying. Mkay? On Bush Bear: At first, he didn't get along with Bush Bear but now they have great times together, in which they plot to get Horry Bear drunk and dancing naked on the foredeck.

Eek! AWOL for two days... I promise I will make it up, though!

Tomorrow is the first day of Hornblower Appreciation Week!

What does this mean? *g* Just silliness from me. I noticed that I've been neglecting Mr. Hornblower of late in favour of everyone's favourite first lieutenant. Of course I will love Bush for ever and ever amen, but Hornblower was my first crush in the fandom and I love him dearly still! So - a whole week, dedicated solely to Horatio Hornblower himself, just to show my appreciation of him.

All that I can promise is that there will be at least one post each day for a week that focusses somehow on Hornblower *g* Anything from a random declaration of love to ficlets to icons to book or movie squee to anything at all! It all depends on how much time I have that day and how inspired my muses are.

Feel free to join in on the fun (actually, I'd love it if you wanted to join in!) - the more Hornblower love in the world, the better place it is!
