POLDARK (2015-2019)

[lady-arryn]

You make me ashamed. Your heart is so generous. You always see the good in things. S01E08 • POLDARK

[anaszpan]

[ IMAGINE ] : You go to visit Ross Poldark as he works in a field. You bring lunch and water for him.

[ A/N ] : The photos do not belong to me. English is not my native language. Don't hesitate to use this idea in your story.

[ ( ´ ꒳ ` ) ♡ ] The Cornish sun beat down on the field, baking the earth to a dusty orange. I squinted against the glare, finally spotting Ross Poldark's familiar silhouette. He was bent low, his back a powerful curve against the swaying wheat. The rhythmic swish of his scythe cut through the air, a steady counterpoint to the chirping of crickets.

Approaching, I noticed the sweat glistening on his brow, the dust clinging to his dark hair. He was a picture of tireless industry, a stark contrast to the languid pace of the summer afternoon.

"Ross!" I called, my voice carrying on the gentle breeze.

He straightened, wiping his forehead with the back of his hand. His gaze, sharp and piercing, met mine. A flicker of surprise, then a warm smile, softened the rugged lines of his face.

"Well now, what have we here?" he boomed, his voice roughened by the sun and effort.

I held up the wicker basket. "Thought you might be needing a bit of refreshment."

He grinned, resting his scythe against a sturdy oak. "Always welcome. Come, sit a while."

He gestured towards the shade of the tree, and I settled onto the cool earth, spreading a checkered cloth. The basket yielded crusty bread, thick slices of ham, a wedge of cheddar cheese, and a jug of chilled water.

He ate with a hearty appetite, leaning against the tree trunk, the exercise momentarily forgotten. The clink of the metal cup against the ewer, the soft rustle of the bread, and the quiet drone of the insects filled the air.

Debbie Horsefield on adapting the Poldark books to a television series.

“When you write your own original material nobody knows what it is until it’s there, until it exists. So nobody has any preconceived ideas about what it ought to be.”

“Everybody has their own unique take on what the real version of something should be.”

Debbie Horsefield (From Debbie Horsefield -Remembering Poldark aired 9th July BBC4

Any thoughts from book readers on Debbie’s version versus Winston Graham’s?

Ross + some funny words

[mejcinta]

Elizabeth was raped by Ross in the books and she got pregnant by him as a result.

The irony of the writers changing the script is that fans now view Elizabeth as a slut and a husband stealer, and Ross is still loved and adored by many.

I don't like this at all.

Would have been more interesting if they stuck to the books, and made Elizabeth more complex and worth empathizing with after the rape scenario.

Wasted potential, all for twisted fan service and the ensuing smearing of Elizabeth's character. Writers should stop writing books because script writers just want to ignore the material all together. Smh.
