"This is a respectable fucking neighbourhood!"

My blog is a mess and so am I. Helen McCrory is the light of my life. Harry Potter and Disney are wonderful. London stole my heart.

I wanted to create another blog for some of my other interests so if you’re interested in old hollywood, pin-up girls, 20th century history, vintage lesbians, or history in general please go follow @garbotomonroe! I’ll be posting a lot of that stuff there.

*Spoiler Alert* Carol love scene is clearly amazing... why?

           I’ve decided that this love scene is Carol is so good, because it feels like a dialogue.  It’s amazingly subtle how they made that happen, embedded in all these tiny details.  Therese asks Carol to take her to bed, and Carol stops and leans back.  But then Carol actually follows Therese over to the bed.  Carol unties her gown to start them off, then Therese tries to bring it down off her shoulder as they begin to kiss again in bed.  Carol tries to turn off the light, and Therese stops her arm and says she wants to see her and possibly moves the gown a little off her shoulder, slightly off screen.  Then Carol herself is the one who takes the gown off, so Therese can see her.  They made a really interesting choice to have the scene move with this back and forth flow of intensity.  It’s not your typical sexual imagination moving from “first base” to “fourth base.”  They go from kissing, to Carol kissing Therese’s breasts, to Carol going down on her, to a careful shot of Therese responding, back to kissing, to just looking at one another and a couple softly spoken lines, back to the most passionate kissing.  I was a bit mystified as to how this love scene managed to not feel like was portraying two people in the roles of active/passive, top/bottom, even though there’s a distinct divide in what we see of their lovemaking in who is giving and who is receiving pleasure.  It’s because the whole scene shifts back and forth with both characters communicating and carrying the action beautifully.  I’m just so impressed.  There’s a whole lot to learn from a scene like this.

RE FUCKING TWEET

Brilliant Idea...

Wouldn't it be amazing if a huge box set of Helen McCrory films was made? There would be DVDs of each film or TV show Helen was in and they would come in a huge decorated box and you could order them in any region code you wanted so fans from around the world could play the discs. You wouldn't have to deal with horrid quality or trying to film films online or parts of films going missing. I'd buy it...

straight boys are weak and pathetic, queer girls walk into the ladies changing room and see ten women naked, do they stare? do they say something inappropriate? do they make them uncomfortable? no because they have the common fucking sense to recognise when a situation is sexual and that people deserve the most basic level of respect to not be harassed, yet here we are banning shorts and low cut tops in school because straight boys are weak and pathetic

[floozys-deactivated20180908]

I miss high school because I got to see my TC every day and I could see all of her new outfits and listen to her talk about interesting stuff for 75 min and I could work really hard to impress her and talk to her about stuff and ugh going from seeing her 5 days a week to once every 1-2 months has been really hard.

Words can’t even begin to describe how much Murdoch Mysteries means to me. 

Tonight I went out to a Murdoch Mysteries pub night! The pub is owned by two lads who used to work in lighting on the set of MM. It's a great little place called The Derby and tonight many MM fans crowded into the pub to watch tonight's episode (The Local Option). We were joined by Thomas Craig and Arwen Humphreys (Mr. and Mrs. Brackenreid) who watched the episode with us, read trivia questions, and ate and drank with those gathered in the pub.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Tom and Arwen before but  how down to earth the cast of Murdoch Mysteries is always blows me away. I often tweet about MM so sometimes I'll tweet Arwen little things and tonight when I went to talk to her she actually knew who I was when I told her my Twitter name. I think it's amazing that she actually knew who I was just from the few tweets I had sent her. She was so sweet and kind to me and it made me so happy. After speaking with her I went back to the bar and was sat there and Tom came over to me and actually started up a conversation with me! This made me feel so special because usually it's fans approaching actors and not the other way around. He totally could have ignored me but he went out of his way to speak to me and ask me my name and such. Tom is such a funny man and he has a heart of gold. Both Tom and Arwen took their time when talking to me and they didn't rush through the conversation or act superior or anything. Their kindness means so much to me because they act in (in my opinion) the best Canadian show on T.V right now. They could totally let this go to their heads and act egotistical about it but they don't! They genuinely take an interest in fans and they're so wonderful to everyone. 

Other members of the cast such as Yannick (William Murdoch), Helene (Dr. Julia Ogden), Jonny (Constable Crabtree), Georgina (Dr. Emily Grace), and Sara (Lillian Moss) are equally wonderful. And yes, I still consider Georgina and Sara as cast members because tbh they were my favourites. I tweeted a lot about Emily Grace and Lillian Moss and Georgina and Sara would always acknowledge these tweets. Sometimes they would acknowledge tweets I didn't even tag them in which I think is pretty great. The cast, writers, and the official MM Twitter account all engage with fans over social media and I think that's really amazing because they totally don't have to but they still do it anyway. Murdoch Mysteries has some of the kindest, sweetest, most down-to-earth people on their team. I've spoken to both actors and behind the scenes workers and each and every one of them expresses a genuine interest in what you're saying to them. 

I wish I could give an award to everyone involved with Murdoch Mysteries. These people have created one of the best Canadian television shows yet they still act like average human beings. This post was originally just going to be a short blurb about the MM pub night but I just want to express my admiration for the cast, crew, and fans of Murdoch Mysteries because these people are some of the best people I've had the pleasure of meeting. You are all amazing.

if all that comes out of this is friendship i want you to know that i will love you as a friend just as much as i would love you as a lover because your voice will be just as calming if we are telling jokes or whispering i love you’s your smile will stay just as bright in my eyes if it comes after kissing me or watching me make an idiot of myself and my love will remain whether you are holding my hand or handing me a drink

it pains me to think of a world without your smile (via catastrophecreations)
