#
downton abbey
#
edith crawley
#
that's a really good contained bitchpls face
#
also okay evelyn/edith seems like a very nice crackship
#
like they are both good people with good faces
#
but what has always nagged me is
#
how do y'all work around the fact that evelyn
#
is one of the only people in the universe who know edith wrote the letter to the embassy?
#
(a detail which is - in itself - often forgotten or excused
#
idk why i mean i love edith but that was a super bitchy move
#
which someone was ~less bitchy than what mary's done to her
#
hm
#
and sometimes i think the show forgets itself because wow there was a lot of confliction when p gordon popped up but anyway)
#
and um evelyn's a super moral person from what we've seen
#
and that would in theory give him a less than great assessment of edith's actions
#
actions which she has yet to show any remorse for or even apologize about?
#
so i'm just wondering how it works logistically you know??
#
or am i putting too much thought into a crackship
#
probably
#
CONTINUE TO ENJOY IT THE GIFS ARE GREAT I JUST

SHAKESPEARE MEETS DOWNTON: robert as king lear, mary as goneril, edith as regan, sybil as cordelia

Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave
My heart into my mouth: I love your majesty
According to my bond; no more nor less.

edith crawley
#
downtonians
#
robert crawley
#
shakespeare meets downton
#
my gifs
#
i just think it fits perfectly okay
#
robert demanding to know how much they love him
#
and mary as goneril who is pretty and cruel
#
but regan/edith the middle sister who ultimately
#
is more cruel and overcompensates for being the middle child in that way
#
(because edith did ultimately pull the cruelest act
#
the slutshaming + the letter that no only threatened to ruin mary
#
but her entire family
#
herself included even if she didn't realize it)
#
and then sybil as the kind youngest daughter
#
tho idk if sybil would come back to save robert's ass
#
maybe isis does that instead
#
ft. bates as gloucester and thomas?? as edmund?? maybe??
#
or maybe like the duke or someone i am not sure
#
tigers not daughters
#
this is going to end up horribly out of sync i'm sorry
#
i tried
Anonymous asked:Opinions on Edith and Anthony Strallan? (I'm personally not a huge fan...)

I mean, on one hand it’s what she wants at the moment and what makes her happy. And he is a nice guy and he respects her and that’s nice. Also his house is super adorable and I want Edith to own it. On the other hand, I feel like a certain part of her pursuit of Strallan still comes from a lot of her insecurity, and it would be nice for her to continue to grow and become more self-confident, instead of fixating on the first person who calls her lovely. I feel like Strallan did say it best; he needs a nurse, not a wife.

But I mean, the relationship is a good one in many regards. He hasn’t held any resentment against her and he takes her for her word about what happened at the garden party. He’s a nice guy. And some people just don’t grow out of all their insecurities. I doubt someone who has been in Edith’s position and will continue to be in her position ever will. And there is a part of her, I think, that does want to continue to care for people, not just love and be loved. She did find helping all those wounded soldiers so rewarding, and so that element in their relationship is sort of a continuation of that?

Is my absolute favourite relationship? No. But it is one of the few relationships on this show that could be very healthy and positive, and I think it does, ultimately, fit Edith very well; it makes sense. It would make her happy, and I do want her to be happy. Also gosh that house is so adorable.
