Thinking about how absolutely crushing it must have been for Valancy to live with a mother like Mrs Frederick.

All the examples L.M. Montgomery gives us point clearly to emotional abuse. From the time she was little to when she’s a grown adult, 29 years old. Making her feel anything and everything that’s wrong with her is her own fault. Falling ill? Being “plain”? Relatives taking cruel jabs at her? It’s her own fault. (the dust pile incident!)

On the very, very rare occasions she dares protest, even in the mildest possible way, she punishes her by giving her the silent treatment. Basically.... if you have the nerve to defy me, I am going to isolate you until I see fit, because the way I treat you is also due to YOUR defiance.

She even says at one point that she would have preferred Valancy to be dead rather than run off with Barney Snaith. A friend of mine has a mother who said something along the same lines to her, and it reminded me forcefully of that experience of hers and how absolutely hellish it must have been to live through. (She’s doing much better now, thankfully, after moving away).

The worst part of these things in the book is that all of this - the silent treatment, the emotional withdrawal, the gaslighting... are so incredibly realistic.

I’ve read TBC twice, but the sheer scale of the cruelty and narcissism of this woman stuns me every time. In Jane of Lantern Hill, at least Robin loves her Jane. Mrs Frederick doesn’t. Valancy is always, always her scapegoat. Not the tiniest bit of concern or consciousness that that’s her DAUGHTER. She’s a monster. It’s sad that mothers like this do exist in the world, and all I can say is no one should have to live through that, much less 29 years of it :(( Hugs to Valancy.

That awkward, and still sweet, moment when Pete crossed the line. Warehouse 13, season 3 episode 13 Eddie McClintock & CCH Pounder

Warehouse 13 as quotes from my holiday (part 2)

Wells

In context, you can always say penis

If I see a werewolf, I’m pulling over

I enjoy putting words in orders

*through tears* I don’t want anything to do with your timeline!

 Artie

Heistcream*

There is a thin film of sweat, sunscreen and sand in every crevice of my mortal husk

*from the heavens* BUNGENDORE

*to Josh and Claudia* You got the braincell, she got the gender

Fill the hole with another hole

(*the special ice-cream Artie makes himself which is served as a reward for a successful snag-bag-n-tag)

 Leena

I enjoy the frog

The energy in the studio is prosecco and ear cleaning

It’s so nice when nice people are nice

I will take custody of the lemons

 Jinks

Tomato is the gender of all fruit

*discussions of welcoming dinner to your stomach* Welcome to my tapeworm

 Mrs Frederick

I would not like a cup of cheese, thank you

(overheard by Jinks, but nobody will ever believe him) Mentally I’m Spanish

Whenever I watch Warehouse 13, the thing I want most is the spin-off series of the adventures of the young Mrs Frederick.

More Mad Crossovers!

OK, so I've had another... odd idea. A Warehouse 13/The Hour crossover! Pete's mother is found unconscious at her home surrounded by old photographs, mainly from the 30's & 50's. Pete recognises the photographer, but swears to Myka that she could never have existed, as she's a character in a TV show he watches. That show is The Hour and of course, the photographer is Lix Storm! When Pete & Myka try to search his mother's house Mrs Frederick shows up & forces them to stop, so they sneak back in & find a pair of cameras that they soon discover are artifacts as they transport them back to the late 50's were the 1st person they meet is non other than Lix Storm! While Artie & the team try to work out the problem from the present day, Pete & Myka have work out how a fictional show can be real and just what Pete's mother has to everything & why Mrs Frederick would try to stop them finding out. A bit convoluted, but I like both shows and bizarrely, I think they would actually be a good fit together!
