Hello everyone!

This blog is mostly on hiatus, but please feel free to go through my gifs. It makes me so happy whenever I get a flurry of notifications. 🥰 Also, feel free to reach out to me via discord (DM me for my disco name please or come join us in the Endeavour and Morseverse fandom discord 💖). I also occasionally post fics on ao3.

Put in the tags the completely finished (whether cancelled or wrapped up on its own terms) TV series that has YOUR perfect ending, however you define that

Please don’t include huge spoilers for the specifics of the endings, and it would also make me happy if people don’t use this to talk about the shows whose endings they hated

[yesornopolls]

Is there a tv series you loved in the beginning but it declined so much you couldn't finish it?

Yes

No

Medieval Oxford’s Murder Problem

The university town used to have a murder rate roughly equal to that of present-day New Orleans. What can it tell us about the nature of vio

Medieval Oxford had a murder rate about three times higher than London’s during the same period, and some sixty times the level Oxford has today. (At between sixty and seventy homicides per hundred thousand people, medieval Oxford’s rate compares, roughly, to that of present-day New Orleans.) The town was in decline as a center of the wool trade but alive with the mayhem of some fifteen hundred young men—loosely supervised, theoretically celibate, armed with crossbows—the scholars of the university. In the twelfth century, Oxford began to emerge, alongside Paris and Bologna, as one of Europe’s prime seats of learning. (All three had crime problems.) “If I wanted to give advice these days about, well, what could you do to really seriously increase levels of violence in our society?” Eisner said. “Probably I would say, ‘O.K., take a few thousand fourteen-year-olds, just males, out of their context, give them knives and lots of alcohol, and put them into halls—and wait and see.’ ” In the Oxford murders that Eisner has looked at, more than seventy per cent of the victims and the perpetrators were students. Ninety-nine per cent were male. (During the same period, eight per cent of London’s murderers were women.)

Seriously, why do you do that, like someone died? In my case someone usually has.

[mindhowyougo]

you take a break from staring at your conspiracy board your duties for the forward planning steering committee to seek out the one man in oxford you think you can confide in: a man who has never seen a rule or chain of command he didn't want to ignore, the man who went up against the powers that be and didn't stop even after suffering a stint in prison. he is a copper through-and-through -- look, he even sleeps in his office. he believes in justice, and integrity, and fighting the good fight and...

...he tells you actually, he's met someone? and dunno... could be something!

he went on ONE date and is like, actually, maybe I DON'T have to throw my life away in the doomed pursuit of perfect justice? and strange either knows morse too well or not at all, bc his reaction:

morse: everyone else deserves a chance... why should I be so different?

strange: because you are.

morse: what if I don't want to be?

ENDEAVOUR: Coda.

[patrice-bergerons]

morse is so funny to me because for all his grumpiness and social isolation, every time some distant friend or prof emerges from his past and says “hey you wanna be a part of great gatsby?” or “yo could you chase down my wife’s bf for me, i think he’s a crook :/” he goes ok!! and just rolls with it.  inevitably this ends him mired in some criminal plot, but does he learn his lesson?  does he think hmm 🤔 the next time a disaster bisexual has pulled him to a posh dinner and is telling him that he will make it his life’s mission to find morse’s weakness and exploit it to his will?  absolutely not!!

ENDEAVOUR First and Last

[lesbiancolumbo]

any film that ends with its protagonist resigning himself to a life of quiet contented misery is good idfk what you guys are looking for out of moving pictures but i want people letting the only person they've ever loved slip through their fingertips i want men and women going back to their families and being so brave about it
