Hello lovelies 🌻

I'm Carola (she/her), and I have a great love for period drama's, historical fashion and mystery books and shows/movies. Beside that you will often see posts of cats, art, classic Hollywood and every thing that catches my eyes.

I'm a fanfic writer and currently I write things for: Downton Abbey, Outlander, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility & The Mummy.

Doing a craft that I struggle with, and keep going even when I get more and more frustrated with it, is a bad idea for my mental health.

Fictional Places Moodboards // Secret Garden

The place was a wilderness of autumn gold and purple and violet blue and flaming scarlet and on every side were sheaves of late lilies standing together—lilies which were white or white and ruby. Late roses climbed and hung and clustered and the sunshine deepening the hue of the yellowing trees made one feel that one stood in an embowered temple of gold.

the ‘if i loved you less i might be able to talk about it more’ quote makes me want to eat my hands already but juxtaposed with the scene where he’s speaking about his love and affection for her in the past tense and trying to appear so detached and cavalier about it that’s emotional warfare i mean UGH this is the perfect quote for their entire dynamic truly communication really is their barrier isn’t it? more than timing or skeleton pirates or jack sparrow james’ fears and worries and insecurities muzzle him and prevent him from baring his soul the way he wants and the way elizabeth NEEDS an unstoppable force (elizabeth’s free-flowing and unfettered expressions of self) meets an immovable object (james’ inability you be candid and vulnerable) (via @norribeth)
