♡ ULTIMATE SHIPS MEME ♡ : Dances [5/5] ↳ Matthew Clairmont & Diana Bishop, A Discovery of Witches 1.04 ( 2018 - 2022 )

[jaeausten]

There is an ancient prophesy. It tells of a witch who would change the destiny of all creatures. Some believe that this fearsome witch will alter our understanding of life itself. I believe you are power indeed.

Marcus: Listen, I get you want to protect Diana but be rational. Just take her somewhere where she'll be safe and can lie low.

Matthew: You're right. I know just the place.

Marcus: Okay so you'll take her to Scotland or-

Matthew: Sept-Tours, to see Ysabeau.

Marcus:

after watching the show, I am now reading the All Souls trilogy for the first time, and here are all the details I love that weren’t in the show.

• apparently Matthew built Sept-Tours

• the incident where Diana almost flooded Sept-Tours

• the incident where Matthew DID flood Sept-Tours

• Phillipe is Greek?

• TABITHA. why does she worship Matthew so much, it’s hilarious

• a fascinatingly in-depth exploration of crests and seals

• Jack wasn’t the only child Matthew and Diana adopted in the past, there was also a teenage witch called Annie

• the two kids also had a very shaggy dog they called Mop

• Phillipe’s clock that he invariably exploded every year during the holiday season trying to “improve,” and spent the rest of the year fixing

• Matthew and Diana putting on a play for Emporer Rudolf, which included Matthew snoring obnoxiously and Diana glowing and floating

• Queen Elizabeth the first throwing a tantrum and launching miscellaneous objects like shoes and inkwells at Matthew

• Ysabaue stabbing Phillipe, reasons unknown

and most shockingly…

• BALDWIN KILLED DRACULA????!!!!!???

Eddie Bluemel being unable to sit in a chair properly to save his life is my roman empire.

Do you not use your powers at all?

I am a walking disaster on that front. My powers are so unpredictable. This morning it happened, by accident, in public. I mean no one saw, but they could have.

A Discovery of Witches (2018) S01E01

There is nothing more swoony than fated, forbidden love 🩷

The three seasons of A Discovery of Witches are now on Netflix US 🇺🇲 for 1 year! (Sadly not the rest of the world 🥹).

A great opportunity to (re)discover the wonderful world of All Souls as well as Matthew Goode's breath-taking portrayal of tortured vampire Matthew de Clermont.

I thought we needed a close up of this moment:

I love how Matthew falls for Diana approximately seconds after meeting her. Literally, he catches the book and starts flirting with her immediately.

He follows her to a coffee shop and justifies it by telling himself he has to warn her about how interested everyone’s going to be in how she got 482, and when she’s like “are you threatening me?” he’s genuinely confused and distressed, because he doesn’t understand why he is so pressed about being helpful to her.

Then he shows up in the library sitting directly opposite her spot, having persuaded himself she needs to be protected from the other creatures, but actually, he’s there for another opportunity to flirt with her. He’s not silently watching over her, he is sitting as close as he can to her favorite spot, specifically so she has to make eye contact with him and he can talk to her

He breaks into her apartment to look for the book (doing a fairly lazy job), then stalks her to the boathouse and his first question is about her safety. Then he remembers what he’s there for and asks about the book. The picking up and sniffing of her jacket? You don’t sniff people’s clothes unless you’re already interested in them.

Then he runs away to Hamish the second he realizes he’s into her, specifically so Hamish can tell him to leave her alone, so then he can persuade Hamish he has to see Diana because she’ll only be safe if he gets the book from her so no one comes after her. This is classic persuade someone else to justify it to yourself.

And the second he gets back, he sees that Diana is looking for him, and he is 100% a goner from that moment. Logic has come to matter to him less and less over the course of the first two episodes.

When she goes looking for him, he completely loses his grip on reality. He starts saying nonsensical things and making irrational decisions at that point, in order to justify himself. He shows up the next day having cased the library to be sure it’s full of creatures so that he can pretend he’s not asking her out on a day trip to his historic mansion to try to impress her, no she has to go with him for her safety. He decides she has to leave Oxford, with him, and go meet his mother, a vampire who famously hates witches, on an extended trip in a historic castle (gotta up the ante from mansion).

Literally no one could have been after them and Matthew would have still made ridiculous irrational decisions in order to be with Diana. I love that for him. He loses his mind very early on, and he does not ever get it back. Sanity? He doesn’t know her.

Shall I tell you your futures? You have none. Soon, you will die and your deaths will not be gentle, I promise you that.

I love Vampires that are so shit at hiding. Blood bags in the fridge next to the leftover pizza, framed photos of them from 200 years ago over the mantle. Not even trying but also bold face lying to the mortals with a straight face. Kiss on the head. You're perfect.

Imagine: Matthew confronting you about something you’d been hiding from him.

“How long?”

The sound of Matthew’s voice, filled the room. Gracing your ears. You looked over in his direction. Your gaze meeting with his, as he leaned against one of the rusty file cabinets. A shaky breath escaped your lips, as you rested both of your hands in your lap. The question, was simple. How long?

How long what, had he been asking? Well, how long your urges to fed had been going on.

The urges? They had come on all of sudden, and you didn’t know why. “I’ve…felt the urge to feed for a few days.”

“A few days?” Matthew’s expression fell.

“Yes.” You nodded your head. You could tell, this did not please him. Perhaps, it was because you foolishly had chosen to keep this from him for so long.

“Y/N.” Matthew took a step forward, his gaze hardening. “You’ve been having uncontrollable cravings for blood this whole time? Need I remind you, who you and I have been around lately?”

“Diana…” You breathed.

“Yes, Diana.” He took another step. “Who also happens to have the blood of a witch flowing through her veins.”

“I’m sorry. I should have told you sooner.” You felt the tears began to well.

“Yes. You should have.”

“I just…” You let out another breath. As you tried to gather your words. “Matthew. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I haven’t felt like this in centuries. Not ever since you first turned me. Something’s wrong. Really wrong. I think… I think someone did something to me.”

Matthew could only soften his expression. He knew you were right. This uncontrollable thirst, was unlike you.

He kneeled in front of you.

“Listen to me.” He outstretched his hand, placing it on your knee.

“Matthew-“

“Listen to me, Y/N.” He never left your gaze. “Whatever this is, we will get through it. Do you understand me? I’m not just your sire. I’m your friend. Your family. And family? They don’t leave each other behind. I just need to try and remain calm for me. Okay?”

At the warmth of Matthew’s hand, you relaxed slightly. Feeling some of the tension leave your shoulders. “I’ll…I’ll try.”
