I forgot to tell you I had the wildest thought the other day about cr4 ships - Julien/Thjazi/Aranessa is Garcyatt. Thjazi is Flynn and Julien is Wyatt and Aranessa is Lucy.

Deanna Troi is a therapist which was pretty groundbreaking for the 90s to have that mental health awareness. She loves chocolate more than anything in the universe. She's sex positive and a feminist and also supports android rights. She's half-Betazoid which means she's an empath. Fans continue to have Hot Takes on her because she really did deserve better than what the writers gave her.

okay honestly kinda vibing with being an underwritten recipient of hot takes

MFMM + The Librarians!AU

Phryne Fisher - Flynn Carson

Jack Robinson - Eve Baird

Dottie Williams - Cassandra Cillian

Hugh Collins - Jacob Stone

Mr. Butler - Jenkins

Dr. Mac - Ezekiel Jones

All Phryne ever wanted was to see the world. To learn and explore and have freedom. And she found it with The Library.

As the Librarian, she spent ten years traversing the globe, seducing heroes (and heroines), and protecting magical artefacts from those who would use its powers for evil. Her life is about solving mysteries - though there’s still one that haunts her dreams - and living her life like she’ll die tomorrow. Because she very well could.

And then she met Colonel Jack Robinson: NATO Counter-Terrorism. As straight-laced and serious as they come. And yet the Library chose him to be her Guardian - not that she needs a partner, thank you very much. She is perfectly capable of taking care of herself. She did it for ten years - longer than any other Librarian - she doesn’t need Jack Robinson. But maybe she wants him.

What she doesn’t want is three more Librarians running around. They aren’t even Librarians, they’re armatures she’s suddenly adopted and refuses to admit she finds endearing. 

That’s a lie, actually. Dottie - with a better grasp of science and math than anyone in the world (and cute as a button) - is endearing. Hugh - knowing everything about ancient history and art and nothing about talking to women - is endearing. Elizabeth Mac (The Doctor of Crime) is a little too cocky for her own good. But she is good at what she does. 

The only one Phryne welcomes whole-heartedly is Mr. Butler, the caretaker of not only their bodies, but of their souls as well. She trusts him to defend the Library with his very life (which is convenient as he is an immortal being and an amazing swordsman). 

Phryne has always loved her life with The Library, but she expected it to be a solitary one. A life of loneliness but adventure. A lover in every port but no one waiting for her at home. That was the way it was and that was the way it would always be.

Jack Robinson changed that. Dottie and Hugh and Mr. Butler and even Dr. Mac changed that. Now, Phryne has a family - a team she can rely on. And together, they can save the world every week - twice before Friday.

Oh my god. I am all for them giving Joy a lady love. I am HERE FOR IT. And Kat Barrell is such a great actress to choose to have that storyline for Hallmark and I'm very very pleased. but also: HALLMARK IF YOU WANTED A WLW STORYLINE, STEPHANIE AND ABIGAIL ARE /RIGHT THERE/.

I really wish they hadn’t been such cowards, Abigail and Stephanie really had the perfect set up and it would have been nice to see them doing a wlw storyline because they wanted to rather than now when you just know all their lgbtq storylines are out of obligation rather than doing them because it’s right

Lofty was framed and I continue to distrust Jonathan, especially now that he's immediately agreed to fly them all to Palestine. Also shoutout to Phryne for being like MY FRIEND WAS FRAMED TOODLES aka continuing to be ICONIC. OH THIS WHOLE GET THE GUN EXCHANGE IS SOMEHOW PEAK PHYSICAL COMEDY shoutout to the production for having this guy's face covered with red lipstick instead of miraculously unmarred. OH NO! QUICKSAND! *cue John Mulaney* Wait ws this just a stunt to get Nathan shirtless? (18)

who can say which brother to trust really!? she just said PEACE BRUH! if John Mulaney had been born in the late 1920s his childhood worry over quicksand would have been much more justified.

What do you mean by "without the practical application?" Because my brain is reading that as without laces or boning," which translates as "spanks" in my imagination but I know that Lycra wasn't invented for another few decades so I thought I'd ask.

Earlier corsets had provided breast support, back support, and, via their boning, a rigid layer to keep waistbands from cutting into one’s flesh.

1920s girdles were basically Spanx with garter belts:

Big ol’ elastic thing that, in itself, cuts into your waist. Purely shapewear, and according to my mom (who wore very similar garments as a teenager in the 1960s and 70s), pretty unpleasant. Itchy, digging in, riding up or down, no breathability whatsoever, etc.

Ironically, this is the era most people give all the props for “liberating women from corsets.” Classical corsets did get the axe and bras became common, which was arguably a good thing, but it ushered in a new era of painful shaping garments that we’re still stuck in to this day. 

If I had to wear a corset or a girdle, I’d take the former without hesitation.
