The Mitford Sisters

[nonsensicaladjective]

JK Rowling cannot hid her Mitford fangirling from me. And the roots of Delphi Diggory are revealed. I love that she's never confirmed that the Black sisters were inspired by Diana, Unity, and Jessica but that she's done nothing to hide it. From Laura Thompson's The Six

A Tale of Two Sisters | Episode 3 | The Mitfords | Free Documentary History

Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica, and Deborah. The Mitford sisters were perhaps the most famous siblings of 20th Century Britain. Born between 1904 and 1920, these six aristocratic women were witty, eccentric, beautiful – and always controversial. This documentary focuses on Jessica the Communist and Diana the Fascist. Separated by only a few years in age, but poles apart in ideology. They grew up in a divided Europe at the beginning of the 20th Century, a place and time full of great political tension. Old regimes were clinging on to power and new ones were eager to establish themselves. Many citizens of Europe were forced to decide which moral compass they wished to adopt, and both Jessica and Diana were quick to make that decision. Both fiercely competitive, each sister sought out her own distinct identity and clashed with the other siblings as a result. Like so many others of their era, their personal and political lives became so entwined that they ultimately shattered the once strong and loving bonds of sisterhood. via YT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCYOHbpDzsQ

The new Pursuit of Love TV show means it’s time to remember the Mitfords

every type of  member of the  law always found  a way to  visit   the king.   asking for  intel and  proposing deals.  rivers of  money flowed  their way.   gadiel provided  the NYPD  with   generous donations   to  keep his  business afloat.   his reign   wouldn’t be ending anytime soon.   cigarette is  propped between  his lips,   glaring look in  his eyes.  unknown visitors  weren’t exactly   welcomed   unless  they had  business,   and seeing  this woman  come through  the doors   ...   he had  a feeling   business wasn’t what’d they discuss.

lighter in hand  comes up to  set aflame the  end of the  cigarette.   inhaling toxic smoke,   and exhaling  allowing a  cloud to   hide his features behind the grey.    “   can’t say i know who you are,   or why you think it’s wise to be seeing me.   ”      eyes relax  from   the glaring expression   he kept.

I had a dream that a relative inherited the entire Swinbrook house from the Mitford and wanted to me to come and help them catalogue what they had.

do you think voldemort and bellatrix having a child together (which is RIDICULOUS LMAO) is based on the rumour that unity was carrying hitler’s baby when she came back to england?

it must be?? I’m going to believe it is.
