Me: wow i really don't get straight women falling in love for arsehole male characters...like what's the appeal...

Also Me, the second that character is played by a woman in a suit: i think i hauve covid

Yes, it’s all true, though you’d never believe it. They did what they could do, and though you’d never see it, they worked and they prayed, and it wasn’t in vain—they knew pain could be strength, and that strength could be pain.

*cooking show presenter voice* It's a super simple recipe, all you're going to need is a shiny tuxedo and my design for a submarine car. You'll also need about seven pretty ladies, an aston martin- though a mercedes will also work if that's what you prefer- a base in a volcano and a lazer cigar. Add in some crocodile moccasins, a watch with a garrote in it and a vodka martini to taste and there's our man!

Matching booty shorts that say *please don't try this for real, even scent free, dye free lotions are not safe for cats to lick. Most people keep their binguses moisturized using a little coconut oil in the bath but personally my cats skin reacts badly to it so hemp oil is my go to now

and while we're on the topic, it's also incredibly strange to force the "daughter"-role on jean. she clearly expresses her disdain for being forced into the predescribed roles of wife ("they thought i was crazy cause I wasn't gagging for a man and a baby") and daughter ("stuck at home with her mother, feeling useless...") and yet here you are, ignoring her and hester's efforts and essential contributions to the mission because you want to play family with them. and even when you don't ignore their contributions (rare) you STILL force them into roles that don't fit them or that they've outright rejected.

I have lots of thoughts about Hester and her relationship with the other members of the Basement Gang

Hester has far, FAR too much self respect to even consider herself friends with Monty- a person who constantly belittles and insults her. I can’t think of a single point in the show where Hester really seems to ‘like’ Monty. She constantly challenges and questions Monty in a way no other character (including Bevan) does, and I don’t think Monty would class himself as her friend either. They are completely different people who hold completely different views about the war. Hester knows the consequences of war and Monty just thinks it’s all a game to win. They aren’t friends and neither of them want to be friends.

By the end of the show, Hester and Jean are what I’d consider friends. Especially post Useful. But the relationship is not mother-daughter, it’s mentor-mentee. They both help the other in realising things about themselves and by Glitzy it seems like they are talking about more personal things- things that Hester would never have spoken about to her colleagues at the start of the show. But they’re just friends, friends in the way that women at the time had to stick together to survive in such a misogynistic, male-centric world.

Hester’s relationship with Charles is much harder to pin down. There are times when Charles is on Hester’s side versus Monty: the part in Making a Man when Monty calls Bill ‘just a trap’, and in the confrontation. But there are just as many times where Charles is on Monty’s side, or at least not on Hester’s: ‘oh, give us a break, Hester!’ before Dear Bill, and in the bloody tea scene where both Hester and Jean give Charles an opportunity to stick up for them but he does. So, I think whether Hester considers Charles a friend or not depends on whether he’s with or trying to be like Monty.

Sorry for the essay but I’ve been having Thoughts™

couldn't have put it better myself. i'm glad it isn't just me who is sad about the way hester has been & continues to be mischaracterised by this fandom. the 'motherly' role people force upon her (especially if its in relation to monty and charles - i don't agree with it when it comes to jean either but i can forgive it more) is a discredit to the complex woman spitlip have succeeded in writing where many many other writers have failed. tropeifying her like that, even if it's 'just fanon', feels like a step backwards in so many ways. thank u anon for putting so concisely how and why she differs from that stereotype

It made more sense and it was also funnier in my head.
