#anyways who can i @ to talk about a s4 for miss fisher gues starring american actress lauren graham

[zoirohs]

file under: headcanons only @pruehalliwell and i care about (unless you're also interested in lorelai gilmore and phryne fisher being friends)

this got... kind of way too long. oops lmao (wish i had this energy to study tbh)

aunt prudence doesn’t know lorelai gilmore that well, but the young woman’s always a delight whenever they chat. she’s a hard worker (if the success of the inn & diner she and her husband own is anything to go by), intelligent, funny and would do anything for her daughter and husband (and it seems the feeling is mutual). sadly lorelai always seems miserable in the presence of her parents, and looks like she’s 5 seconds from losing her mind at every jab she endures. bless the poor woman’s ability to keep a fake smile on her face all the time

thats not to say lorelai’s totally guileless, although after years of a model behavior, a wonderful teenage daughter and a successful business she shares with her husband would absolve her of the mistake of getting pregnant at 16 and not marrying the father (some would say marrying a commoner instead, years later, was an act of rebellion against her parents - lorelai merely says she got married to who she wanted to, when she wanted to).

she thinks lorelai and phryne would get along quite well, though dreads to imagine what kind of stunts they’d be able to pull together. they meet at a luncheon phryne attended because she failed to give aunt p a covincing excuse for her absence. and since murder follows phryne fisher everywhere, she overhears lorelai mentioning there was a robbery turned murder at a bar near her establishment but the copper responsible seemed to be determined to dismiss it as a simple robbery gone wrong and lorelai is sure there’s something fishy going on (cue lorelai spinning some wild theory as how and why that happened, which got phryne's attention instantly)

of course phryne manages to get jack officially to take over the case (and needless to say, herself). and now with lorelai as a bonus! fun times, except for poor detective robinson who has to keep track of two fired up civilian women who should definitely not get their asses involved with police work

lorelai might not have the passion for detective work (and she already has a job that she’s very much fond of), but she likes swaping ideas with phryne, and the theories they come up with are so preposterous jack isn’t sure if they’re actually being serious or just passing time (and he can’t even tune them out because they do, eventually, come up with very interesting insights)

jack would die before admitting it, but he does appreciate lorelai’s help after all (and phryne’s but that goes without saying). she knows her area well and the people love her, so when she throws in her charms, they always manage to get some valuable information. and needless to say, phryne is totally enthralled with her. kinda makes dot a bit jealous and scared of being replaced, but dot is an angel so the jealousy lasts for about 3 minutes after they get to know each other 

very clear image in my head that i can 100% see happening and would die if it did: phryne, jack and lorelai discussing some gruesome case while having lunch and the danes’ diner; luke walks past overhearing some lively details and grumbles about how that’s a respectable place and people are EATING, can they please at least keep it down. and he cannot believe the kind of ideas that float around his wife’s head (”i’m scared you’re gonna attempt one of them when you’re angry with me”; “oh honey... they are great and effective murders but they’re very messy and you know how i am about housework - i wouldn’t try them on you”)

jack draws the line at lorelai following them to crime scenes, stakeouts etc. firmly. he still worried about phryne despite her being able to hold her own, plus having another civilian might keep him out of a job. he thanks heavens lorelai understands, though he’s sure its mostly because of her own family. (he knows she does go along with phryne and dot to investigate phryne’s own cases that don’t overlap with his though those aren’t dangerous... much)

phryne teaches lorelai how to SHOOT... (”always good to know ways to defend yourself. and you should always carry a dagger in your garter too, you never know when you’ll need it! we can never trust a man’s going to show up in a dangerous situation, or that he will help us”). lorelai holding phryne’s pistol though [paris hilton voice] thats hot

as i mentioned in that other post: they’d shop for trousers together. cue jack and luke drooling over their hot modern women

ok im done skdfdjkhdk for now?
