i enjoy historical romances, but i'm not enjoying the way "historical" is becoming an aesthetic instead of a setting.

‘The longing to escape, to get away from familiar faces, from places where she was known, had always been strong in her in moments of distress.

She had a childish belief in the miraculous power of strange scenes and new faces to transform her life and wipe out bitter memories’

~ Summer, Edith Wharton

First Episode Out Now!

In our first episode, leading hosts Sunny and Bea discuss two Josh Charles films where a not insignificant amount of screen time is dedicated to him having sex: Threesome (1994) and Pie in the Sky (1995). Good for him! He’s earned a solid fuck after sexually harassing someone in Dead Poets Society for 2 uninterrupted hours.

Your Hosts: @theluminoussunflower @toindeedbe @octaviasdread @ash5monster01

"this new period drama is like if Jane Austen were sexy" if you've read any Austen you'd know people are having scandalous sex in it literally all the time

hit play

it's january 1990. students repopulate the halls of welton academy for the spring semester. none of them know it's been thirty years since neil perry took his own life in his father's office.

gerard pitts junior—everyone calls him gerry—gets his assignment for the welton herald: write about a welton alumnus who encapsulates the four pillars. he has slightly different plans.

evan overstreet and richard cameron junior—called richie—are looking to sink their teeth into anything that gets them away from textbooks, for different reasons.

down the road, lacey cameron can't stand to be home alone with her dad. she spends all her time practicing gymnastics or with henley hall's recluse, stephanie meeks.

and thirty minutes south, in burlington, amelia anderson is going to write a short story. what about? she's not sure yet.

welcome back.

I keep hate-reading plague literature from the medieval era, but as depressed as it makes me there is always one historical tidbit that makes me feel a little bittersweet and I like to revisit it. That’s the story of the village of Eyam.

I think it's kind of funny how merlin got to experience A Day in the Life of Morgana in the crystal cave episode and almost had a mental breakdown about it
