A Bit Messier

No matter how hard he tried, Lucien couldn’t let go of his anger. He could admit it was mixed with sadness, confusion, and heartache, but it was mostly anger. It covered him like a blanket on fire, the instant he read the word. Adelaide.

Thank God Matthew had come back when he did. His knock at their door, a welcomed distraction from the rug being pulled out from under him. ‘Their’ door… his door.

The evolution of recommending Doctor Blake

1. Oh, hey, I’ve been watching this show and I think you might like it.

2. Oh my gosh I’m watching the best show ever and you have to watch it right now. Are you watching it, yet? Now? Now, are you watching it?

3. Oh. You’re looking for a show, are you? I may have a recommendation for you. First I need to determine your worthiness. This essay test has three parts…

#nadine garner anything #Nadine Garner

Ha!!! This is so true!!

Just felt the need for some Nadine

I mean… ❤️ #i love you #you know that #don’t you

From day one...Nadine provides the facial expressions I will fall in love with.

Jean Blake’s possible motley crew, who will they be???

Will Danny and/or Mattie be there for her? A fan can dream. ;-)

Rose? Pretty sure she’ll be there, at least I really hope so.

What about Susan Tyneman? They were made out to be quite close in the movie. Cec? He has to be her Cec now, yes? I mean he HAS to be her guy Friday! ;-)

Charlie? I doubt it because Charlie Cousins wanted out of the show, right? But I hope so. This blonde chick, or some other unknown friends of hers? New characters??? Maybe we’ll finally meet Danny’s mum.

Matthew Lawson and Alice Harvey??? Certainly they will be there for sweet Jean… but will they be ‘Malice’??? YES Pleeeeease 🤞🏼

Lol!!

“But you’re quite right, I should have discussed it with you first.”

Charlie and Lucien had left to handle the death at Lake Wundouree, and Jean had grown strangely silent. Her energy heavy, as she fussed about, cleaning the kitchen.

"Jean, everything alright?” Mattie asked quietly to Jean’s back, as she was washing dishes. “Are you upset that Charlie’s here?“ Silence.

Afraid she didn’t hear her, she cleared her throat and tried again "Are you upset Lucien didn’t talk to you about Charlie moving in?”

Jean turned off the water but stayed where she was, not turning to face Mattie, keeping her hands busy “Of course not. Why would Lucien ask his housekeeper if he can take in a lodger?”

I just love this!!!!

Jean of all trades

Reblogging for it’s perfection!!

“I’ve had the most joyous time I’ve ever had on a film set.”

“It’s a terrible loss to a show that’s been so loved. And that’s been such a big part of my life, and of Craig’s life.”

Bonus:

“Have you been in touch with Craig?” “No, I haven’t.

Thank you @savedher for the video and @yourjodeanfaceblog for existing/watching it over and over and over and helping with quotes! <3

She has such a beautiful energy. And I was more than happy to watch a thousand times with you.

I just watched the Breakfast Couch episode. She’s so lovely and kind. I’m a bit saddened by how she gives me the sense TDBM might be over. She didn’t say it...just a feeling. I adore her.

She probably felt foolish…

That time she chose an uncertain life with Lucien…

Over a nice safe, secure, boring life away from him…

The first time she chose to follow a dream…

She knew it was crazy…

Nothing would ever come of her love for him…

But it was worth the chance, so she chose to stay… Come what may.

We should all take a page from the Jean Beazley play book. It’s a lesson for us all. Follow your dreams, roll the dice, do that thing no one would understand, take risks, trust the universe, trust your heart, and be ready to claim your prize.

I am obsessed with this picture. OBSESSED.

a-tardis-at-downton

You and me both.

Damn damn damn!! What a hot pic!!

Jean is such a classy gardener. When I work in my gardens I wear a ratty t-shirt, baggy sweatpants and a baseball cap. Of course I don’t have Lucien watching me…

it-is-bugs

Okay, on one of Jean’s two birthdays, I’m gonna say it. There’s no way she’s doing the real work of gardening in these scenes, with her heeled shoes, hose, and snug skirt, apron or no apron. Real gardening isn’t very film-ready though, as she’d have to push back into all these dense shrubs, wade through the flower beds, and shovel like a ditch digger. Either this all occurs in other times that Lucien’s not wandering by to muse about murder, or she’s got a ‘little man’ to do the heavy work and she just does this vague deadheading we see.

“On one of Jean’s two birthdays…”. Snort.

And yes to the genteel gardening.

seven-dragons-deactivated202607

Jean can landscape your entire yard complete with grading and installing pavers in a tight skirt, silk stockings, and heel and not even get dirty and WE DO NOT QUESTION IT. Got it?

OK BUT the entire aesthetic of the first picture is of an unhinged scientist who has created the Ideal Woman Droid and is watching her work in the yard and she’s awaiting instructions from her overlord.

It’s creeping me out.

buzzedinboston-deactivated20231

This is seriously the best fandom.

Is that her underwear far right on the clothesline? Blue-ish? If not, what is it?

majsmom

@buzzedinboston Probably. Someone called out her bra in the episode where Charlie moves in so panties sound reasonable. It was just hanging over Lucien’s head blowing in the wind and I had never noticed it.

Who ever spotted it please take credit!!!!

danadumaurier

The bra hanging on the line in that scene always kills me, I think it is super OOC. We know from episode one she has a drying rack, and I think her and Mattie’s underthings would have been hung somewhere out of Lucien’s way. They’re family, but their not FAMILY.

it-is-bugs

I can imagine this being a case of seeing who’d blink first with the two of them. Lucien insisting that he’s a doctor, so there’s no need to hide away the women’s unmentionables, Jean flaring her nostrils but not wanting to seem a prude, Lucien pointing out she washes *his* underpants, so what do they have to hide from each other, all leading to some bras on the line.

missouiser-deactivated20210926

Jean must hang her undergarments on the clothesline outside, since after 5 series we still don’t know where the frickin’ bathroom is in that house, if it is large enough to accommodate a drying rack, or if she would have to fling her knickers, stockings, etc over the shower curtain rod, which would mean that Lucien (and Charlie) would have to then move said knickers, stockings, etc, which means they would have to touch them, which is just too dangerous in a house filled with that much UST. Far better to have them flapping in the breeze.

buzzedinboston-deactivated20231

“which is just too dangerous in a house filled with that much UST.” EXACTLY.

“Far better to have them flapping in the breeze.” BUT! The middle part of her underwear is really pronounced and just hanging down there, like an invitation. Sorry, but not really. Can’t you just hear Lucien’s impure thoughts? “Oh, it’s laundry day! Perhaps I’ll grab a seat in the wicker chaise and place it directly under the clothesline. Then I’ll pretend to fall asleep with the paper over my face as I gaze up longingly (at said blue underwear). And look there…that’s the part that goes between Jean’s legs.” *freefalls into gutter*

majsmom

@buzzedinboston It’s just too much

a-tardis-at-downton

YES, WE’RE HERE NOW, IN THE GUTTER. I love this entire post. From gardening to underwear debated. Bring it on.

$5 days he stole a pair.

a-tardis-at-downton

It was her nice pair, the latest pair she’d gotten, and if she had tucked them away into her vanity, back behind the nightie she’d bought, quite out of the blue, she didn’t need to think of them.

But she had, she had thought of them, underthings that were more lace than material, that served only one function: to make her feel powerful, to make her smile whenever she caught Lucien staring at her tightly encased hips, the cream of the trousers she wore curving along the jut of her hips, making her feel more desired than she had anticipated. She grinned to herself, a soft blush taking up residence on her cheeks.

But on Tuesday, when they go missing from the line, she can’t very well ask Lucien.

Lucien had been minding his own business, really, a pineapple in one hand, and a belt in the other as he simulated the latest case findings in the yard when the blue on the line caught his attention.

Lucien finds himself muttering to himself, stuffing them into his pocket, even as he passes Jean, who is knitting on the loveseat, who looks at him quizzically when it occurs to him that Jean had been wearing them at some point.

He thinks of her outfits in the past week, and really, he’s not a cad, he just has a certain appreciation for his love’s body, and if his fingers tighten around the lace in his pocket, even as he stares at Jean, gobsmacked, crinkling the delicate material, well it doesn’t matter anyway, Jean won’t see this pair for a long while.

*BLESSINGS ON THIS FANDOM*

She’ll probably never see this pair for ever because of that time Lucien rushed out of the house on a hunch and ended up at a crime scene chasing after a suspect. It’s lucky he was with Matthew only when he bent over, his hands on his knees, breathing heavily because - damn that kid was fast! He reached absently for a handkerchief to wipe his brow but it wasn’t until Matthew’s grumbled “Bloody hell, Blake” that he realized what he’d done.

He knew at that point he had to burn them because if Jean ever found out, she would murder him deader than dead and they’d never ever find his body.

iholdmysaiproperly

This just keeps getting better every time it crosses my dash. Ya’ll are awesome, and I’m just over here all:

moonlightxmusic

I am dead😵This just keeps getting better and better 😈

majsmom

This just gets better. I missed some stuff apparently.

martinizzzz

I love you gals! I haven’t laughed this hard about gardening or underwear in a very long time. So is Lucien wearing any of the undies he confiscates from the clothesline?

Yes. But only ‘cause Jean made him.

“punishment”

I think someone needs to elaborate on his punishment. What is he being punished for? And just how much does Jean enjoy this?

I’ll wait …..

Stealing them in the first place.

A LOT.

I swear to god. This is the best, smuttiest, funniest...PERFECT fandom group EVER!!
