British drama fan

I fangirl so hard over British actors. Languages are my cuppa. I study Classics as Tom Hiddleston

Just finished the Spyxfamily movie and can we talk about that fact that while Loid was fighting a big bad general they made Yor fight a CYBORG with GUNS FOR ARMS cuz it was the only POSSIBLE thing they could think of that could believably hold back yor and they STILL had to make a point that knifes didn’t work cuz otherwise she would have won immediately… my girl is really op and they know it

it’s about being queer it’s about surviving assault it’s about alienation and most of all it’s about how everyone who loved you before might not be able to even look at you now, no matter how many times you try to explain that you didn’t ask to die and you didn’t ask for that death to leave you only half-eaten when it got bored of you.

🚨HOMER ALERT 🚨 a copy of a section from The Iliad has been identified as the text in a papyrus placed on the abdomen of a mummified person, excavated last year, as part of the embalming ritual. Pride of place, not stuffed inside a cavity like previously found texts, and the first piece of Literature found on a mummy and in a funerary context.

And guess which bit it is?

THE CATALOGUE OF SHIPS 😂😂😂😂

(Well, we all knew those pages had to be *someone’s* favourite bit 😉)

BRB, off to shoehorn this into a lesson…

Hello wonderful people! I've just wanted to inform you that the short film 'A Mermaid's Tale' is available on YouTube! It features Rupert as the grieving father, and is definitely worth watching.

Thank you to one of the writers, Tessa Nicholson for posting this wonderful film!
