these parallel trios are important
#
lmao if grade 11 english imposed anything on me while studying pride & prejudice
#
it's that your friends are more revealing of your ~*true nature than your family or anything else like that
#
thx austen

#
these are kind of blah but hopefully i'll finish up other things over the weekend

this is not super coherent forgive me for that

which i'm not really doing but i wanted to do this so
#
god it took me forever too trying to make colourings look okay
#
i know mrs. hughes' face doesn't really fit w the rest of it but just let it be
#
also i know the figure in carson's third gif doesn't really work but idk i liked the ~*~* symbolism
#
from stage to well downton now that i've bastardized AK
#
i couldn't think of anything else with a stage and even though i know it's too grand
#
it fits with how carson sees his past and all its melodramatic glory
#
there are other things i would have liked to do with mrs. hughes
#
since i have a pretty detailed headcanon backstory for her
#
that's really important to how i understand her character but that's okay i'm really happy with her last gif
#
and that i actually used shots of young! phyllis logan
#
not that you can tell
#
idk is it too late for anyone to see this
#
idc i've been working on this for too long i want it done

#
shitty but ugh
#
you're my fave and ily a lot
#
and let's talk about the obvious facts of that thomas/hughes scene
#
where even though he tells carson he's not foul
#
he's afraid of telling mrs. hughes because what if she thinks he is
#
what if he's wrong
#
no i need to stop
#
imagining how that conversation happened
#
because it is bad for me and i'm getting all these elsie/mother feels again
#
which always so nowhere
#
william/hughes e tc
#
but he pulled out that chair for her
#
and i think he's always had considerably more respect for mrs. hughes than a lot of the staff
#
and they're dumb
#
and i love both of them
