instead they’re at each others’ throats from dawn till dusk
#
downton abbey
#
mary crawley
#
edith crawley
#
sybil crawley
#
downtonians
#
so i went and saw king lear today
#
and then - because i'm crazy - saw some downton parallels
#
so i did the proper thing an spammed jas' inbox with them ※ and yep crawley sisters are basically king lear's children and robert is lear
#
except sybil doesn't come back to love him at the end
#
and i guess bates is gloucester only instead of getting his eyes gouged (such a good scene man) he gets his legs broken
#
or maybe both
#
anyway 'tigers not daughters' is my favourite phrase from this play
#
i have favourite phrases from all the shakespeare i read i think
#
'sing it to her bones' is much ado about nothing's
#
anyway uh
#
my gifs

    This is almost a good parallel. Sybill is certainly similar to Cordelia in many, many ways, but it’s not such a good fit...
