We were hoping you’d change your mind. The Alienist | 1x10 Castle in the Sky

#Boyfriend is out of town this weekend so um I may have binge watched this #Now on the last episode and I want to HUG ALL OF THEM TIGHT #It's such a good show #So complex and insightful; so rich with history and humanity #And the CHARACTERS #I could write literal essays on each of them #Gah #If you can stomach the gore and creepy factor: go forth and watch it now #You won't be sorry #The Alienist

“Joseph is still missing. He was turned out on the streets because of me. I gave him money, but it never crossed my mind to take him in.” You’re not to blame, John. “Of course I am. God put him in my way, and I failed him like everyone else.” └ The Alienist (2018) S01E10 - Castle in the Sky

#I feel like I ought to be watching this but I don't think it's available in the UK yet #Hum #Also - in a totally non-creepy etc way - Luke Evans does 'Worried Dad' SO WELL #(Case in point: Bard the Bowman)#The Alienist

for some reason I come up with the worst shitposts everytime I spend a weekend at my parents house.

I present to you: Band of Brothers vs. iconic Vines

#I really shouldn't find this as hilarious as I do #But oh my God I'm howling here #WHAT THE FUCK RICHARD

Full disclosure: I don’t understand why people like Scandal? Not even a little?

Shouting things LOUDLY and FORCEFULLY into someone’s face doesn’t make you win an argument, nor does it justify or even explain shitty behaviour and seriously dodgy morals

I just don’t get it

#I mean the outfits are pretty killer #But that's it #That's seriously it #I'm all for badass women being triumphant and awesome but none of that makes this series any less icky #Emilie has thoughts on Things #(Hi Tumblr!)

Upside of the new Star Trek series: it is so good

Downside of the new Star Trek series: why is there so little fic?!

#We all know OS fans were basically the original fic writers #Are they boycotting this new series en masse or...?#Anyway I adore it #(Of COURSE I do)#(Come talk to me about fabulous females and broken Star Fleet men and beautifully sincere and diverse and intriguing plotlines y'all)

There is nothing more infuriating than remembering a fic you loved, like, ten years ago and utterly failing to find it again

#It's one of those nights where all I want is a large cup of tea and soppy LotR fic #Gimme Glorfindel in Imladris or give me death #SIGH

Bei mir bist du schejn by Budapest Klezmer Band

original version in Yiddish.

#SHOSHANNA #Somehow this makes so SO much sense #Like... it all just sort of clicks together #Of COURSE this was originally a Yiddish song #Blimey

Holy shit here’s a really nice coloured picture of Richard Winters, Lewis Nixon and Harry Welsh in Berchtesgaden

#Interrupting my ongoing hiatus because hOLY SHIT #One of my favourite pictures (just look at Welsh and you'll see why) and it is COLOURED #Oh this is good #This is so so good #And brings back so many memories #:')#We few; we happy few #Easy Company

#Just started watching this and oh my GOD it is the funniest thing #It's such a great parody of so many things #Media; London; office culture; comms #It's all terribly familiar and makes me cringe as much as it makes me laugh #(Which is a lot)#W1A

I cast you out, unclean spirit, every satanic power of the enemy and every specter from hell and stay far from these creatures of God

#I'm rewatching this now it's on Amazon Prime and it's taking my breath away all over again #Sure it requires a certain amount of suspension of disbelief and it's fantastically creepy in places #But there's something sad and poignant and unsettling about it which is just sublime #Full to the brim with superstition and folklore; layer upon layer of not-quite-tangible history and personal memory #I love the idea that a place has memories; that the years blend together more potently in some places; that disruption can bring it bubbling #to the surface #Lovable characters in surroundings steeped in a heady mix of mythology and religion - with a particularly British slant #Is it any wonder I adore it #The Living and the Dead

Richard “Dick” Winters: That night I took time to thank God for seeing me through that day of days. And prayed I would make it through D-plus-1. And if somehow I managed to get home again, I promised God and myself that I would find a quiet piece of land someplace and spend the rest of my life in peace. / +

Rewatching Downton Abbey is like one big game of “... um that ain’t Yorkshire”

The stone isn’t local

The scenery is wrong

Where have all the hills gone

That’s clearly the South

Do you even understand the stubborn pride that comes with being God’s Own County

W h a t

#Also worth noting: for all that Fellowes name-drops like his life depends on it none of the local families get named (as far as I'm aware)#Sigh #Apparently this is what dating a local (so local his family are basically from where Downton ought to be) does to a person

LOTR Characters → The Queen of Mirkwood

“When we were developing the writing and structuring the films, we had a backstory for these white gems that [Thranduil] literally goes to war over, and we thought, these gems were made and fashioned for his wife, and she never got to wear them… He had lost his great love, his wife, which is why Thranduil wants the diamonds and he is willing to go to war for them.

It’s also one of the reasons he’s withdrawn from the world in the northern reaches of Mirkwood because he’s suffered such great loss… Thranduil built this beautiful statue in memory of her and had it placed at the entrance to Mirkwood, which is really the entrance to his realm.

In the books, we never hear anything about Legolas’s mother. We imagine that she was lost to him. We always liked to imagine, as part of a backstory, that she died defending her child, because that’s one of her last binds to Legolas.”

Sometimes I wish my photography skills were good enough to capture the utter joy of walking through London’s streets on a balmy summer’s evening, skirt swirling in the breeze while the pubs natter steadily in the background

Because it is everything I hold dear about this city - freedom and laughter and fun, the unspoken camaraderie of strangers and the steady weight of history carrying you forward

It is, above all else, home

#Emilie gets philosophical #Also hey hello I'm ALIVE #And doing so well on the whole #How YOU doin' Tumblr #<3 #P.S.: the soundtrack to all this being Mumford & Sons because of COURSE it is

I remember how much I always loved you

#So I made it through maybe 2 episodes of the White Princess #And I never thought I'd say this - but #I /really/ miss the original White Queen cast #For all that it's a deeply flawed and silly series it had real heart and the cast was great #The White Princess just falls flat - the characters aren't as compelling - and the reuse of the soundtrack is really grating #(All the themes are muddled up and with a story like this that's really not on)#S i g h #The White Queen
