Kaleidoscopes And Dreams

Wild, wild thing. Bloodstained.

A well-managed solitary life, whether surrounded by people or protected from people, is a very delicate and a very difficult work of art.

'I'm Overcome By Grief and Rage, But I Need Love and Support!

Thriving means turning raw shame into pure audacity.

Lord Granville's conversation with Benedict on the reality of queer love, from Season 1 episode 7, is very on the nose for season 5. I hope he recalls this, and that his own speech to his sister is less melancholic and more awe-inspiring.

Does this mean we will get a regency sapphic portrait of Francesca & Michaela?????? Plssssss make it happen

[kaleidoscopesndreams]

i truly hope so. And he utters something along the lines of "My word, the very picture of devotion" or that which is more suited to them.

something about michaela being the first to pull away after fran holds her hand for the first time, and michaela being the first to reach out to hold francesca’s hand after

You have to be very careful of the language you use when shipping a black character/person, understand the racial nuances surrounding certain tropes, fetishisation, sexualisation and desexualisation.

Michaela I fear for you…

I hope you start stretching now bc she’s going to turn you every way but loose

Cannot believe you forgot the grail of this unholy trifecta of "I'm going to ruin you when you teach me how to."

i know we kind of want to see michaela help fran with her pinnacle issue, where fran brings it up on a drunken night when they’re back to being friends and michaela offering to help her leading to or being cause by the first “tell me something wicked?” scene

but part of me wants it to go the other way where it’s not brought up for a while, michaela and fran sleep together for the first time, fran has an orgasm that blows her head clean off her torso and lays there in micki’s arms bewildered and having a realization and she just whispers “the pinnacle” to herself and mick just going “?????????” i just think that’d be hilarious
