There are soooo many beautiful things circulating around the Gentleman Jack fandom born out of pure passion for the series, our history etc but nothing catches my eye more than our Ann(e)s in a kiss.

It really doesn’t take much to be seen, and yet it’s still something we have to fight tooth and nail for. Representation Matters.

No matter how hard to try to erase us, pretend we don’t exist, we are still here and we will fight for our place. And if not for ourselves, for our next generation. Not just for Gentleman Jack but for all wlw series/movies. Visual representation is so important!

🎩👒 The fans for this amazing show constantly blow me away with their creativity and passion. I love this fandom! We need to save the show!! ❤️❤️❤️ Sharing this awesome video with permission from IKnowAsh on twitter “The fandom is just getting started with #SaveGentlemanJack“ Let’s share this far and wide! ❤️

Finally found a place for my anniversary present! In the kitchen next to the knives 🤣

[bagga-coal]

Gosh this week has been mental! Can someone pay my bills so that I can pull my #SaveGentlemanJack weight? 🤣

When you look for Anne Lister gifs but you find her busy making her move on Anne Hathaway 🤣

My wife just gave me an early wedding anniversary present. She had commissioned a friend to make it for me before she knew of @hbo ‘s decision to cancel the series. It took so much out of me to not break down into sobs when I unwrapped it. The power of words. Between Anne’s diaries and Sally’s scripts, the melding of 2 minds… Anne seeking solace in her diaries by living her truest life, and Sally realising her dream by making @gentlemanjackofficial after all these years since she learnt of Anne’s existence and knowing in her bones what an impact it will have. It has certainly changed my life with my new found confidence in living more authentically!

I asked the wife what made her choose this quote and she said “these are fighting words”, and that blew me away. I mean she knows me, obviously, having been with me for coming to 20 yrs and married for almost 4, but this sums it up perfectly. Anne loving and living the way she did, true to herself, her nature, the way God intended, reconciling her faith with her sexuality in a time where there wasn’t even a term for lesbians.

I get @bbc ‘s reluctance to go it alone and risk making a sub-par product after such a high production standard all round. We have to keep pushing and marshal the troops in seeking help to resurrect the series. Come on! Let’s crack on with it!

Look, I’m so grateful for the show and what it’s done for fans and the ripple effect it has had for so many it’s touched. But I’m gonna be bitter for a while and just go through my own emotions to process this loss.

And I process it by first being gutted and sad, and then angry at the injustice. I don’t think it’s been given a fair shake of the sauce bottle (Aussie saying… I know… we’re hilarious).

Anyway silver lining it for myself, I can barely deal with the idea of seeing aunt Anne and Jeremy die on the screen and AL dealing with that loss. Much less seeing what Sally will have cooked up to portray the death and aftermath of Anne herself. Knowing what’s coming is vastly different from seeing Suranne and Sophie‘s powerful performances with Sally’s script. I shiver at the thought.

Saw this and thought AL might have a few words/lessons on this exploding cow of Marian’s 🤣.

And I’m sure the cows would have a few moos/opinions on the railway too.

Ok so a break away from my usual Gentleman Jack posts coz this needs to take up space in my brain. Erm… eye contact… close enough to kiss… will their mitts… *whispers* touch?? 🥵🥵

There’s supposedly no crying in baseball but please give me sapphic themes!

Happy Pride Month to all the cool cats (and dogs “Argus…”) involved with making of the amazing Gentleman Jack 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈😍😍😍😍😍🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩

Just reflecting on the importance of visibility and what Sophie Rundle said about AW needing something like Pride to be able to see herself in others and come to terms with her own self. 💗💗💗

Thank you Suranne and Sophie for bringing these women back to life.

[bagga-coal]

Yeah but I explain it with the confidence of someone tweaked out on cocaine. 🤣 “It is confidence, isn’t it?”

[bagga-coal]

Oh my… episode 5 🥵🥵🥵

Once again Anne getting her guns is doing things to me. And that outfit… that power walk… 🔥🔥🔥

[bagga-coal]

Current mood lately. Thank goodness for Gentleman Jack!

PS little Ann makes an adorable booze hound 🤣

[bagga-coal]

Brb…

[bagga-coal]

Gentleman Jack season 2 episode 3 “Tripe all over the place, presumably” out of context.

[bagga-coal]

Us: The Diva magazine photos are a gift from the lesbian goddesses and we’ve already seen peak Suranne as Anne Lister hotness.

Suranne: sigh… hold my madeira again…

*thermometer 🌡 explodes*

Has episode 1 whet your appetite yet? Mariana Lawton has her game face on and shit is gonna get messy! Brace for impact Team Ann Walker, it’s gonna be rougher than travelling the North Sea that time of year 😬
