love the long post about the geralt x renfri fight when my thought were just "mmmm nice hair hot people fight kiss on the mouth"

I mean, same, I even was a little miffed when I saw all the Discourse beneath the gifset bc I just wanted to perv in peace;

otoh that turned out to be actually a quite good analysis of why I find this whole thing so attractive, so.

not in the modern era. the last to die in office was palmerston in 1865. obviously we’ve had infirm / ill PMs (think churchill’s last ministry, stanley baldwin etc) but those were normal times. apparently there’s been some behind the scenes chat about a national gvnt / crisis cabinet for a while bc it would act as a check on gvnt power & mean powers hold held by one party

that does seem like the best idea going forward and to avoid a constitutional crisis, it’s kinda impressive to make it a full century without your PM dying in office

a grand coalition or like churchill’s war cabinet; with labour (ie keir) holding one of the great offices of state + other senior lab MPs in the fold, and power sharing until we can have a legitimate election. the world is imploding - we can’t have a fair general election imo until 2022, realistically

oh well that actually doesn’t sound too bad, has a PM not died in office or been too unwell to serve? because it seems to happen a lot more stateside

I don't think people who don't speak French can fully appreciate the nickname Cromwell is given by Anne in Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel.

Hell. I don't know if even I can.

But dear god every time I read Cremuel, my French monkey brain short-circuits to a wooden pot of out-of-date milky cream left too long in the luckwarm sun of march which you still want to try and have a taste of because, who knows, might still be good and useful. Before you spit it out and are haunted by it for the rest of your life.

I can't stop laughing AND at the same time thinking how accurate it is for how Anne seems to feel about the man.

Cremuel.

It's deeply unsettling is what it is.
