Rivals thoughts

this man is the very definition of louche - I've never seen someone embody that word so much

Taggie + Rupert 4EVA

can Bella McCann fight? Because she could absolutely be Feyre

Aidan Turner with the mustache is somehow doing it for me in ways I don't understand?

we get it, Maud wears green because she's Irish

CAMERON COOK MY QUEEN

love the brotp between Rupert and Declan, and between Rupert and Lizzie

Lizzie, why on earth are you staying with your terrible, useless, wet rag of a husband?

they could have played this completely over-the-top 80s nighttime soap opera, but there's actual nuance to everyone? Tony is a shithead, but Tennant gives him those puppy dog eyes every now and then and you're like "wait, am I feeling empathy for this jackass?"

it cracks me up that we're all rooting for Rupert when really he's a to-the-manor-born rich white dude who's a Tory and works for THATCHER, ffs -- but it's this weird combo of charm and smarm that somehow works, and Alex Hassell is selling it

She’d said I don’t understand men, but somehow that didn’t include Rupert, though Taggie could not have put into words what she knew about him. Perhaps that wasn’t a surprise, what she knew she rarely put into words and the ones she chose were often not the ones she’d meant before she uttered them. At first, that had made him laugh and then smile fondly and now she knew enough to wait for him. She knew Rupert in the way she knew the way a dash of salt was necessary in a biscuit, how much a pinch was.
