fellas is it gay to know you have a terminal illness so you construct the entire manner of your death in order to provide your nemesis/colleague/suspiciously close ally-enemy/narrative foil with the opportunity to take revenge on you while experiencing life-changing catharsis and also you’re on a beach and your dog is there??

THINGS I NEEDED MORE OF: GRETA JUROSSI

“Do you remember Greta Jurossi? Her parents were Italian. They didn’t approve of a Watery Lane Gypsy, but you won them over with your charm. Sweetness.”

all we know about greta jurossi, according to canon, is that she was tommy’s first love - a socialist at the very least, likely with communist leanings. her elder sister kitty later left birmingham to join the communist party entirely. before the war, greta and tommy were lovers; close enough that, in those days, they were likely engaged or had an understanding, and he won over her Italian parents despite their disapproval. tommy spent three months holding greta’s hand while she died of consumption. she was nineteen.

I’m not going to hold out much hope for any more titbits about Greta because Steven Knight hates women! we know this! so here are my conclusions - less a bio, more a whistle stop tour of my concept of her while I’ve got the muse.

tommy was a socialist before the war - freddie thorne tells us this, and it’s quite evident that his heart lies solidly on the left, he’s just grown jaded, sceptical, violent, and convinced of the impossibility of change.

they were childhood lovers - greta’s parents were Italian, disapproved hugely of her connection, even vaguely, with the peaky blinders (I can’t remember if it’s ever directly stated in canon that tommy’s father ran the gang before the boys were old enough and I genuinely can’t be fucked to look it up), but she grew up poor, same as he did. 1900s birmingham poor - brutal, real poverty. she would’ve gone to school with the shelby boys; maybe her sister was arthur’s year, or a little younger.

greta’s death clearly kickstarted the process in tommy that was solidified by the war (i’m going with 1910 as a death date for her, roughly): as in, cynicism. who knows whether they would’ve been happy together forever and ever (maybe they would’ve been; people stuck with what they had in small heath), but she was part of the life he had his heart fixed on, and was taken from him. eesh.

greta was fiery (tommy doesn’t go for quiet women, we know that) and intelligent, educated herself as much as she possibly could, wanted to travel, to do interesting things, get out of small heath, see the world - violent, when she wanted to be, and unsqueamish, used to closing her eyes to things she didn’t want on her conscience, passionately political, family-orientated, and funny, funny above all else.

it’s SAD

basically write AUs with me or write pre-canon Shelbys with me !!!

Before it would have been seen as ungentlemanly to, er, to ask a public figure questions about personal matters - or business affairs -

anyway a fun Easter egg in that ep is the fact that May Carleton is friends with Mosley. clearly she’s NOT a fascist she just hangs out with the Mitford sisters and by extension Evelyn Waugh and that circle what I’m saying here is May is OBVIOUSLY central to the inter-war literary society of the 1920s-30s and I love her for it

[fulviavincit]

That episode was just called “women try and communicate their fear and emotions to their abusive husbands and get completely fuck all from it” Tommy and Arthur get FUCKED challenge

[shelbybrosltd]

might just reblog the posts from my personal so yall know how i felt about THAT ONE

Peaky Blinders (2013- )

The main thing is, you bunch of fuckers, despite the provocation from the cavalry, no fighting!

[shelbybrosltd]

also as a sidenote greta is thrilled from beyond the grave that tommy is basically starting a fucking communist revolution

not to be the most basic bitch but I can’t believe a new Taylor album has come out the same weekend as season 5 I can’t take this like -

I’m not saying Taylor rewatched season 1 Grace/Tommy but she rewatched season 1 Grace/Tommy

He watched her light the smoke with a bemused expression; not exactly pleased, but more amused than irritated, lucky for her. The pub was busy; he’d taken her outside as soon as he’d seen her, it wouldn’t do for her to be seen in a place like this, and he didn’t like the small ripple that’d gone through the residents - most of them his men, none of them used to a woman like that in their establishment, all glossy hair and red lipstick and a fur edging on her coat that cost more than three month’s pay. He tapped his hand absently against the soot-grime brick of the back wall. They were in the yard; the smoke from the furnace should’ve choked her, but she didn’t seem like the sort to flinch.  He ignored her ‘message’ utterly.

“You’ve got a right nerve, coming in here,” he said, instead, and he looked her up and down, something significant in the drag of his eyes - not exactly a caress, and not exactly appreciative. “Think that ‘cause you’re carrying a message from Shelby you’re untouchable, and maybe you’re right about that, I don’t know, he’s a big fuckin’ man now: but you should be more careful. Dismiss your cab a few streets down, did’ja? That’s a long way for a woman like you to walk before one of my boys spots you and gets you somewhere safe. Lots of dark alleys.”

He moved quickly, for a big man. He took the cigarette from her, turned it over in his fingers, didn’t smoke it; she’d left an imprint of scarlet around the damp end, and he watched it burn down thoughtfully; only when his fingers were threatened did he drop it on the cobbles, where it went out in the puddles with a faint hiss. “Don’t,” he said, “be stupid again. If Tommy’s sent you to keep a fuckin’ eye on me or whatever the hell it is goes on in that mind of his, that’s fine, that’s fair, be my guest, but call the office if you need to come in.We can meet somewhere civilised, or I’ll get someone to pick you up, yeah? No point sending you back to Tommy in a box. It’d scupper his plans, and he gets all pissy when that happens. Breaks glasses, and stuff.”
