Upstairs, Downstairs (1971) The Path of Duty

S1E4

It's May 1905 and Elizabeth Bellamy returns home after attending finishing school in Germany. At 17, she is attractive and has a keen mind with a variety of interests whether it be literature, art or politics. She is pleased that Rose is to be her personal maid but is not necessarily looking forward to attending an upcoming ball where she will 'come out' and be introduced to the King and Queen. Everyone at 165 Eaton Place is working to ensure that her grand evening is a memorable one but at the ball she is bored not only with the company but with the empty-headed girls around her. Refusing to act the part, she disappears just before she is to be presented.

HI I was just wondering what do you think Adler's react was to graves joining the marine corps?

Hahaa oh god I can hear the exasperated disappointment in his voice XD military branches are notorious for their rivalries

“Really, son? The crayon munchers?”

“Don’t you gimme that! You army guys were eating claymores back in ‘Nam. That’s why we got ‘Do Not Eat’ warning labels all over ‘em.”

Adler would’ve been perfectly fine with whatever his son chose (but he has his preferences lol). But did it have to be the Marines??

(He made sure to show up at Phillip’s graduation in the sweltering heat, with pride in his chest)

new wheel of time trailer dropped AND WHERE IS MY GIRL NYNAEVE?! Where is Lan Mandragorian's "wisdom"?! [she was in one frame. one!] *chews glass*

but also the mythal/solas/lavellan parallels in moiraine/lan/nynaeve are actually crazy--like i didn't think about it till now, but of course i'd find inklings of robert jordan's influence in my favourite fantasy game series too

I keep thinking of Viren

How in his final moments, he still had to do Dark Magic, something he wished to put behind him since it caused him and his family so much pain that it broke him and his daughter and, just his family APART.

How in his final moments, he tried to save his son while suffering sacrifice, as he’d done once before.

How in his final moments, he sacrificed himself for the kingdom, as he should’ve done once before.

“I—am a servant. I am a servant.”

His words finally ring true.

A while back you made a post talking about yakumo and his sensitivity to temperature and I haven't stopped thinking about it. imagine when winter comes around and yakumo becomes progressively sluggish, usually staying in the kitchen and not leaving for hours, always making something near the stove to feel a little warmth from the flames or from a little taste of the things he's making (soup probably), or him picking up the habit of bundling himself up and staying in the library to read and nap. maybe when it starts getting even colder he barely leaves his room because its too uncomfortably cold for him, and if he does he's probably looking for eiden to help him warm up, but if eidens not around he gets antsy and looks for somebody else in the mansion, but he's too shy to ask and looks at whoever with his wet eyes so they know he's cold and wants a cuddle

*inhales deeply* ah yes. you understand. you envision it all so clearly. rightly so. gEt in the wAy, everybody, snake burrito walking the halls very very slowly!!!!!!! (i was about to say get OUT of the way but that would probably make yakumo colder so why not do him a favour and collide with him on your way to another room)

Thinking about the fact that sevro is a carvers creation too.

“We went to a carver to see if we couldn’t make ourselves some magic. We did.”

Sevro, just like Darrow, is created in a lab, but their purposes are completely different. Darrow is created as a machine of war, his whole purpose after being saved by the sons of ares is to infiltrate and tear down the gold machine. He can’t separate himself from this war, because his purpose is not yet fulfilled.

Sevro, on the other hand, is created out of the love his parents have for each other. And when his mother is killed his father starts this revolution, and he does it in big part for him. It’s no coincidence that the organization fitchner starts is called the sons of ares. In sevros life, the war hasn’t just been about tearing down the society, it’s about the possibility of what comes after. The possibility is own birth represents.

I think iron gold and dark age really highlight the differences between their individual philosophies. You can see it in the fact mustang says she’d like to retire with Darrow and their children, plural, despite the fact that in ten years they’ve only got the one (who certainly wasn’t planned). Meanwhile sevro and victra have had three and another on the way in that intervening time. You can see it in the way Darrow continually struggles to pull himself away from the war, while sevro is able to compartmentalize and prioritize his family when he’s home. You can see it in the sevros palace chapter in dark age, when Darrow says sevro “didn’t close his mind to his family before battle, because he knew they did not make him weaker, they made him stronger than he was by himself.”

Darrow can’t start living life for himself until his purpose is fulfilled, while sevros purpose has always been that very life, so he finds a way to fit it in.

So in the end, it’s not surprising that when it comes down to it, Darrow chooses his army and sevro chooses his family. It’s not about one of them being right and one of them being wrong. It’s about what they were created for.

a brief summery of my Bell’s bio in BO6(this is following the bad ending timeline of Black Ops 2)

visual reference for 1991 appearance created by Bikosi’s Neka C.C: Click

Bio: In 1990,Natalia Alder is forced to go on the run along with her Husband Russell, after being falsely accused of what happened in Panama(her past did not help matters). After leaving their children Andrei and Lana with a trusted ally of theirs for safety, Natalia works to clear her and Russell’s names and find out who framed them. She is introduced to the Team at the safehouse expecting them. You usually find her working on ciphering or photography when not on missions. Even after her and the rest of the Rook Team were cleared of treason and reinstated to their former ranks into the CIA after the events of the game, Natalia still has trust issues towards them(she always had due to what happened in 1981, but this just added on to them). Their house(despite it being untouched since they fled as someone watched over it for them) still feels like a ghost to her after being on the run for 11 months and finally being able to return home

quotes:

(Asking why she’s called Bell) it’s a nickname given to me by Russell

(Asking if something on her mind)”Oh, it’s just I’ve been thinking of Andrei and Lana”

(Asking about her history with Russell)” it’s complicated”

(Asking about the orange neckerchief she wears on missions)”It belong to someone dear to me”

(When asked about a certain plot reveal in BO6)” I’m used to it”

There were a few parts of the Tawny Man trilogy that felt like Robin Hobb was trying to gaslight me about how much sense it made for Fitz to stay the hell away from the Farseers for some time.

Like respectfully ma'am I don't think Nighteyes would tell her she was failing her family by refusing to be in service to them. Nighteyes is flawed as any other character but I think as someone who shared a mind with Fitz he simply Would Not Say That.

Horatio and Ophelia are never confirmed as being in a scene together, and do not share so much as a single line of dialogue.

Krk got croc instincts that translate to him chewing random pieces of metal he finds in order to both satiate his urge to bite random shit and to keep his teeth from going dull

problem with this is that sometimes he comes across a mystery metal that may or may not be infused with things that can make him sick but the urge is too strong and he must comply

other problem. Sometimes it’s part of stars projects and it is definitely going to make him sick

Do you ever see a roach when you are so so tired, or in some sort of rush, and think to yourself “you and I are not enemies by nature but by circumstance, for you know not what crime you have committed whilst I am extremely aware that the punishment for it must be death. As neither of us wish to be involved in this terrible dance, I did not see you, and I had best not see you in the future for I shall not show mercy again”
