Maybe it's just me
Jan. 14th, 2021 10:15 amI am probably in the minority here, but I have never liked swashbucklers. Their flashy, confident, flamboyant nature is the the antithesis of my own. I've always felt much closer kinship to their dark, dour antagonists.
That is probably one of the reasons why I've always been partial to a story with a good anti-hero. Anti-heroes usually aren't flashy, or cocky, or swinging from masts with sword in one hand and a damsel under the other arm. They get in, do the job and get out. Sometimes they do it for all the wrong reasons, or do the right thing in spite of themselves. I see a bit of me in that.
We had a jar of butter chicken sauce in the cupboard, half a bag of frozen spinach, some frozen paneer cubes, and some freezer burnt naan. All I needed to pick up was a couple of chicken breasts and we had a workable dinner.
