I swore I’d never take anyone there again,
To this nation, a nation under your command.

lol robert get out of carson's shot
#
this is the most ridiculous promo photo for me set??
#
robert acting like he has swag or sth
#
and carson looking expectedly unamused but
#
are you going to playing cricket carson
#
are you
#
i expect this cricket game to be the proper sort of ridiculousness i'll enjoy
#
mostly because carson is playing

wow these are gross
#
sorry they're so fcking choppy i may fi them later??
#
or just delete them
#
ugh
#
so gross
#
but this new episode gave me a lot of past!cora feelings?
#
and wow that line always bothered me a lot
#
curiously unfeeling
#
like the first year you were married robert when you didn't feel anything for her?
#
like how a woman might feel when she's aware she's a commodity in a transaction
#
the fact that cora just accepts it is part of the reason she's so interesting to me
#
ugh just a lot of cora feelings
#
puked out in a revolting graphic
#
pretend this hairstyle would work too okay
#
pretend it all works and isn't choppy as hell

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.

#

#
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

“One of the key elements that Shirley brings into the show is to remind us that Cora’s upbringing was not the same as Robert’s. During the first years of her marriage, that’s all been suppressed, to a certain extent, and she’s had to get on with it and do it the way they do it. But, as things start to change and the plates are shifting and we are reminded what Cora’s come from, Cora is less afraid of the future than Robert is. She’s much less afraid of change.” - Julian Fellowes

also can we talk about what a perfect vampire family they make
#
especially lavinia and cora
#
actually lavinia and matthew look like a perfect vampire pair
#
give a pale man a cane and a black suit and have him clutch at chairs just like that
#
instant vampire
#
this doesn't even make sense
