Ok u know that like. Period drama shirt. The white shirt men are always wearing in period dramas. The Colin Firth jumps into a lake shirt. Are you visualising this in your mind? Ok now imagine: a butch wearing the shirt. And she has tasteful cleavage. Do you see my vision.

positive affirmations to say to your cat to build their self-esteem:

thank you for letting me live in your house with you

you are the creature

all rodents and insects quake in fright at the sound of your footsteps

you always choose the correct time to bite my feet

your choices in drinking water sources are wise and healthy

you are the best at playing toys

you are an indoor cat only because I fear the havoc you would create out in the world

the vet fears you more than you fear her

I like to think that Mary and Mr Ryder remain quite good friends long after she becomes Mary Hayward and that Mr Hayward, although he adores his wife, is eternally frustrated by him.

Listen, he likes his schoolmate well enough. They're friends too! But Mr Ryder has the most infuriating tendency to swoop in and cause chaos at the most frustrating times.

Tom and Mary are having a quiet couple's getaway trip? Somehow, Mr Ryder appears with a drinking game that leaves them all hangover.

Tom and Mary are exploring rare bookshops in London? They find William Ryder in the back of one of them engaged in a strange bartering ritual with the shopkeeper over dice.

Tom and Mary are having their first child? Here comes Uncle Ryder with a Venetian midwife mid-labor.

Mr Hayward KNOWS his wife loves him more than anything. He knows Mr Ryder amuses and baffles her with his eccentricity. Any jealousy from their courting days has been put to rest. Yet, he'll huff and puff because Thomas Fucking Ryder has a sixth sense for popping up with the worst timing in the world.

These are quite terrible. I mean, I don't even know what that is.

I love how she just slightly reaches out to him as if she's about to put her hand on his knee and go "no, babe" in the most loving and equally condescending way imaginable

hey, can we take a second to appreciate eve's wardrobe, because I'm obsessed

let's match outfits and annoy bill stirling with mama

Darcy: 'The situation of your mother’s family, though objectionable, was nothing in comparison of that total want of propriety so frequently, so almost uniformly betrayed by herself, by your three younger sisters, and occasionally even by your father:—pardon me,—it pains me to offend you.'

Also Darcy: *refuses to dance with anyone other than Caroline and Louisa at the Meryton ball, refuses to be introduced to anyone, just refuses to talk to anyone in general, fires off a double-whammy insult about Elizabeth after they've made eye-contact and he knows damn well she can likely hear him*

[taradactyls]

Darcy: Girl, your family is the most embarrassing and improper I've ever met.

Lady Catherine: Hold my beer.

Lady Catherine: It's not enough that I insult and order around everyone I meet and say outrageous things like 'yeah I'd be the best in the world at that if I'd bothered learning,' or tell people what they should do in their closets, how they pack, how their parents should've raised them, etc, etc.

Lady Catherine: I'm going to get in a carriage with four horses, going through five sets of them in as many hours, spending an outrageous amount of money that makes travelling impossible for most people and do 50 miles in a morning and all to go confront this young lady I barely know and yell at her in an attempt to pressure her into promising never to marry you. Then, I'm going to go about 25 miles back to London in the same day, still with the expensive four post-horses being switched regularly, and tell you how stupid and unreasonable she is.

Darcy: You know what on second thought maybe Elizabeth's relatives are not that bad.

[firawren]

Mr. Bennet: Sure, I haven't taken care of my daughters' financial security, but have I at least taken care of their education? No. But have I taken care of their emotional needs? Also no. But have I been a good protector and supervisor? I'm afraid not. However, have I been a good example for my children of being a kind and respectful spouse, parent, and all around human being? No again. But through it all, have I nailed being funny? Yes. And isn't that the most important role of a father after all?

Darcy’s introduction in Pride and Prejudice is really ‘what if you had just had the worst month of your life because your ex-bestie tried to lover boy scam your baby sister out of her share of your dad’s life insurance and your friend dragged you to a shitty party in a dive bar in the neighbourhood where he’d just signed a short term lease, and you decided to let your bad mood show because you were never going to see any of the assholes in this stupid shitty bar EVER again. And your friend ended up making out with a girl he’d just met there while you were stuck talking to her sister who was less cute and then her mother appeared and started trying to matchmake and started saying how if she was twenty years younger she’d clime you like a redwood and ooooh is that a black Amex, guess the next round is on you hahhahahahaha, while her other sister (how many fucking sisters does she have?!) flashed an obviously fake ID at the bar and ordered six vodka-diet red bulls and no one in her family except the less-cute sister even tried to stop her. And you went home and consoled yourself that you would never see any of these people again but then you met them over and over again because they live next door and your friend and the cute sister keep meeting up to make out but not actually date and then. You fall in love with the less-cute sister because it turns out she’s really witty and charismatic but she already knows and remembers and resents the fact that on a day when you were in a shitty mood you called her mid out loud in a dive bar.’

This is such a brilliant way of updating P&P to the modern era!

I never thought I would be siding with the pope’s involvement in politics and cheering him on. I will say that.

Rewatching Foyle’s War properly for the first time in years (and my husband’s first time).

I hadn’t realised what a little chaos demon Foyle is.

He constantly breaks laws; does whatever he feels right; and ignores all authority at all times. And as my husband says he always chooses the “no paperwork option” whether that’s letting someone get away with murder or leaving them with a loaded gun.

But it’s not just him - everyone he meets gets infected. Not the already chaos demons like Sam and Brooksy but the calm and staid ones like Valentine and Milner.

Just loving the chaos demon and his little feral pals.
