Bates and Anna, 72/? Downton Abbey S4E1

"Who sent you a card?" "I don't know. It's not signed!" "Nor is mine. We both must have secret admirers." "Which is no more than we deserve."

(Happy Valentines Day! ;) )

#prev everything you said!#married couples absolutely in love with each other are my favorite #they are so stupidly in love with each other #that line about no more than we deserve UGH my heart #their smiles!!!

Except you’re not sure…

#downton abbey #anna bates #more people need to be obsessed with this gem of a character #she is so precious and perfectly constructed

seeing people say "this trope has been done to death" as if that's ever stopped anyone from eating bread. BREAD HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH FOR LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND WE STILL WANT MORE BREAD. write your chosen one AU. write your coffee shop meet-cute. write your 47th iteration of "there was only one bed" because guess what??? we're still hungry.

#fanfiction #i (re)read every anna x bates fic i get my hands on #i do not care how many times they fall in love. it's always new to me

Downton Abbey Meme - Five scenes // The snuffbox (3/5)

“The bastard’s sneaked it in my room or yours!”

so many fangirl things to do, so little time.

i have new fics bookmarked to read, including a downton western au and mary x anna one!

i have ideas to make more banna playlists-- especially an emo inspired one. Because Dashboard Confessionals' Hands Down is Anna and Bates coded.

i want to make a fan vid set to taylor swift's "i knew it, i knew you" to banna clips (Oh, the rivers I cried when we said goodbye//Wondering if I'd made it up in my mind//But now you look me in the eye).

i want to make an anna x bates moodboard on pinterest.

i want to crossstitch the "because i love you mr. bates" speech. ahhhhhhhhhh!
