I NEED SOPHIE BECKETT TO BE IRISH !!!!

This is my Roman Empire, i have dreamt of this and I have multiple reasons

1. It will tie into History and how Irish people have always been considered an outcast in society for centuries especially before the famine

2. When I read the book all I could hear was an Irish!Sophie with her accent, her attitude, her antics and her random quotes are so Irish I just love (I also feel with this Irish attitude it could bring humour to their storyline and season)

3. I feel it would also play well with Benedict not being able to recognise her even more due to her accent ( at the masquerade she pretend to be British when actually she is fully Irish)

4. People would even question her parentage even more due to her being Irish and highly educated (which was a rare sight in that period of history)

5. I feel like this aspect of Sophie could show how she has never felt like a person, never having something that was her and with this symbolism it shows how Irish people had everything taken from them as a nation and as people such as aspects of language, land and etc.

Irish!Sophie has never knew how beautiful Irish culture is with araminta excluding her from this side of her due to never considering her as a person.

Headcannon- she arrives to the Bridgerton household and a few of the staff are Irish and they start speaking to her in Irish and she’s like “what” like utterly confused and they start to question her and her upbringing

6. And I was watching titanic (I know) and I was thinking this would be iconic for irish!sophie (let me cook!!!)

I imagine a scene like the Irish dance scene in titanic

^^^^^

When Sophie starts to work for the Bridgerton household she meet the other house staff which could have a few Irish iconic characters and they invite her to a drink and a dance in like an underground basement type of thing where there is montage of Sophie dancing a ceile or drinking with her fellow Irish people (rambled there for a second)

This starts to happen a few other nights and Benedict gets suspicious of her always being tired and he follows her one night and finds her dancing, singing and looking happy. He decides to confront her but just to see she has had too much fun ( she’s drunk) and as he is about to scould her or something idk she grabs him to dance (this could be like a moment he fully falls for her)

Skip to them leaving and Sophie is drunk and they could have a moment where it parallels to Benedict’s high dinner scene on their walk home (we live among the stars type of moment)

NOW HEAR ME OUT!!!!!

They could somehow have a little drunk smooch and Sophie is at the state of drunk that she nearly reveals that she was the lady in silver at the masquerade ball and as she’s about it fully tell him she’s like “I was the La- lady-“ AND SHE JUST PUKES ON HIS FEET

(Y’all cancel me Idaf I needed this to be known)

And there’s a moment where they just look in shock and disbelief they start to laugh.

Skip to the next morning and she is hungover like crazy and she leaves her room and runs into Benedict and just tries to ignore what happened last night and bids him hello and hurriedly speeds off while he chuckles to himself

7. With Sophie being Irish it could also make Benophie stronger as Benedict is willing to accept her and understand her culture and involve it in their life e.g buying her a claddagh ring as an engagement ring (one of the stories about the creation of the claddagh ring are about a peasant and a prince fall in love and it is forbidden or something and the prince gives her a ring to symbolise their love(BENOPHIE CODED)), learning Irish with her, visiting ireland and giving their children irish middle names

8. I also think a brilliant song for the season would be linger by the cranberries because the lyrics and meaning of the song are perfect for Benophie while it also being an Irish band

9. I know that people are hoping for a POC Sophie or a Latina Sophie but I feel with Irish Sophie’s exclusion from society due to her being Irish shoes a whole other side of Bridgerton’s defiance against societal norms

10.i think I just want an Irish Sophie because I’m Irish but shhhhh

do you think he’s more of a honk shoo honk shoo or a snork mimimimi type of guy

Another day, another discovery.

The blurry couple on the left will become Unno-san and Donzawa from the Observatory on Solitary Island arc.

The two men on the right will become Torage and his victim.

The femicide victim and her husband are already un-blurred while Kawasemi-san and Yamane still await their turn.

The young woman sitting on the bench’s arm support will become Onodera the photographer and John Grizzly behind her.

Culled from Episode 2, the Case of the Piggy Bank Murder

Much has been said ( @ecargmura ) on the opening song’s blurring of the people around Ron and Toto that has become clearer once these supporting characters have appeared from the episodes.

@plant-akki posted several gifs of these comparisons from episode 3 to the latest.

But have you noticed the man who’s running with the billowing black coat? Once he is seen running in the other direction, but most of the time Ron and Toto are chasing after him.

During Episode 8, the man on the left becomes Jumonji, the director of the observatory. But take a look at the man wearing a black coat running behind him.

He’s now in front of Toto. It looks like the duo is running after him.

He’s appeared now behind them of what looks like a rendition of the “Murder on the Orient Express.”

In the end, he’s pointed the crime scene to them from what looks like a scene from a Japanese detective TV series or mystery film.

The trench-coat wearing Ron is a direct reference to “Columbo.”

Take note that it is only Ron who wears different kinds of clothing, depends on the media he’s dreaming in, while Toto still wears his grey suit.

Anyway, it is none other this guy.

This guy here, Sherlock Holmes, and the man next to him, his John Watson, are fond of running after their suspects in this BBC series. This image is iconic.

It must be an homage, or a running gag (no pun intended), that Ron and Toto should do the same as Ron gets to live his dream of becoming a full-fledged detective like his ancestor with the help of Toto. Hence, Toto holding his friend’s hand who must be telling him, “Hey, slow down, I got you, you are all right. I’ll be here beside you. You aren’t alone now.”

The only valid thing Curtain ever did was smashing straight through doors that don't open fast enough for his wheelchair. Accessibility king

[lotsofsq]

This bit where they are in mr curtain’s room changed my perception of him forever…. he has plaid pajamas, with matching slippers and and a nightlight. i love him so much

[IDs copied in alt text: one drawing, one picture of book text.

full body colored drawing of mr curtain with his arms crossed and a disagreeable expression. he is wearing dark green plaid pajamas that fit loosely and matching slippers the picture is labeled “Mr Curtain’s pajamas”

text from book that is highlighted reads “As they watched, the figure sat up and reached for a bedside lamp. With the click of a switch, Mr. Curtain appeared, glaring out at them from his bed. except for his close-cropped hair and disagreeable expression, he looked exactly like his brother. He wore a pair of green plaid pajamas.”]

[thiscoldheart]

going to bed now but the first thing i'm doing when i wake up is check the benophie tag to see if s4 with them is finally fucking happening or not good night!!

[richonnefan50]

The perfect opportunity to explore Benedict bi-curious was in season 1 with the artist .Now doing it at the end of a season and just cause Tilly lady talk him into it 🥴🥴🥴. People want queer stories but queer stories well written this felt cheap ,rushed ,and random . And not like it open a door to an actual relationship with the dude . You can tell the show wanted to stop being called queerbaiting .And now Benedict state of mind is definitely not in the settle down mind state we literally saw him turn down Lady Tilly the woman he was obsessed with for the whole season so how are we supposed to buy him wanting a wife next season and being head over heels in love dedicated to Sophie? None of what happen with Benedict this season made any sense . I adore Luke Thompson and like Rege x Phoebe and I assume Johnny x Simone next leave the show for better things once he does his job and his season over . They been doing a disservice to his character for a long time anyways since pushing his season back .

[theymadeitlh28]

Thank you Adam for these gems.

Aren’t they looking pretty fine and I mean all of them

x x

Also the last photo is from a fan account as Adam deleted it. I am in a dilemma seeing as my conscience tells me to delete it because if Jensen told Adam to take it down because he doesn’t want a photo of him smoking going around the internet, I don’t want to invade his privacy in doing so. But he looks so good in this photo.

[sophieswundergarten]

This is A COMPLAINT

Now, I get that there are some incredibly distraught children in the foreground, but there is time to talk about that later.

WHAT I'M COMPLAINING ABOUT IS THAT PICTURE

What??? Even is it??? It's, like, two nonsensical abstract paintings, that just keep replicating into oblivion??? WHY????

Oh my heavens I hate this picture so much I revile it with the highest level of distaste it is abhorrent and ugly and confusing and it totally pulled me out of the moment. I'm pretty sure I had to rewind this episode at least once because I totally missed the heartbreaking and hugely important dialogue because that picture was so distracting

[arkofblake]

need a fic based on this on my desk yesterday

'There are some actors who always, no matter the size of their role or the context of their performance, draw the eye. Andrew Scott, who has most recently appeared as the slippery, scheming protagonist in the Netflix series “Ripley,” is one of them. He is enthralling to watch, his emotional notes meticulously constructed, with playful touches of chaos that always leave space for moments of discovery and surprise.

Here are a few of Scott’s favorite modes of performance, and how his popular roles reflect an actor excelling at his craft.

The Madman

In Scott’s breakout role, in “Sherlock,” he plays Moriarty, the criminal mastermind opposite Benedict Cumberbatch’s contemporary Sherlock Holmes. From Scott’s first appearance, in the Season 1 finale, he electrifies an already energetic show.

Cumberbatch set the tone for “Sherlock” with his brutal, fast-paced wit; deductions tumble out of his mouth with strict precision, and in an impersonal monotone. Scott’s arrival, and his erratic singsong speaking, break this rhythm. There’s a menacing playfulness to not only his rhetorical delivery but also to his facial expressions. It adds a new dimension to the show.

In their initial confrontation scene, Sherlock aims a gun at Moriarty, asking, “What if I was to shoot you now?” Moriarty responds with a cartoonish look of shock that starts at the top of his head and ripples down: his eyebrows popping up, his eyes widening, jaw dropping and neck drawing back.

The rapidity with which his expressions unfold emphasize Moriarty’s dangerously fickle temperament; when he threatens Sherlock back, he speaks softly at first but then erupts midsentence, his face contorting horrendously as the timbre of his voice lowers to a grisly rasp. But just as quickly the moment is over: Moriarty returns to his lighthearted tone of villainy and excuses himself.

For as stylized a performance as Scott gives, it’s always believable for the character, particularly in this world of grand crimes, intricate designs and eccentric genius. Sherlock is the perpetual steady force, playing his violin and wandering through his mind palace, while Moriarty is the agent of chaos who serves as his match.

The Charmer

The most prominent element of Scott’s performance as the so-called hot priest in “Fleabag” is his coy smile. When he is introduced in Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s delightful comedy-drama, at a family dinner, his smile is polite and disarming.

It’s when he and Fleabag are out for a cigarette break, and he casually flings an expletive at her as she walks away, that a boyish grin spreads across his face. His eyebrows lift slightly in an expression suggesting that he is challenging her.

Part of his charm is a matter of contrast: He is a holy minister meant to provide spiritual guidance, but also a foul-mouthed heavy drinker who can barely hide his sexual desires. As he’s finally about to give in and sleep with Fleabag, his mirthful smile fades, one corner of his mouth angled up in a look of satisfaction, but there’s no joy behind the expression. His look is hard and resigned to the transgression, and there’s just a shadow of his coy smile beneath.

At the end of the series, the priest says that he is unsure whether the euphoria he is feeling is because of God or because of Fleabag, and Scott’s performance clues us in to the answer. Scott’s ebullient energy — that almost manic, kinetic charge he often imbues in his characters — comes through most vividly in the scenes when the priest is talking about God. Scott’s priest, despite his love for Fleabag, realizes that she hasn’t altered his faith. She has reinforced it.

Scott’s charm is on display in a different way in the new Audible podcast adaptation of George Orwell’s “1984.” His audio performance tricks the senses: You can, somehow, actually hear the smirk on his face as he plays O’Brien, an undercover cop posing as a revolutionary in a dystopian society. Scott leans into the lilt of his natural Irish accent, and his exaggerated shifts in pitch, along with the meticulous way he hangs each syllable on the air and marks the time with cryptic murmurs and pauses, creates a seductive mystery.

The Wounded Man

Scott’s most recent big-screen role was in the 2023 film “All of Us Strangers,” where he shows how much melancholy he can instill in a performance through nuanced silences and stillness. He stars as Adam, a lonely gay screenwriter who encounters a stranger named Harry and then returns to his childhood home to find his deceased parents there, just as they were decades before.

Scott’s performance is muted, his eyes constantly contemplative, his expression that of sadness that has hardened into a stony exterior. Even his sadness is restrained; in a scene in which he discusses his sexuality and childhood bullying with his father, he is composed and dismissive of the difficulties he has faced until his father begins to sob. Adam’s face and upper body then likewise crumble.

Scott’s most devastating performance may have been captured in a 2012 short film in which he performs the monologue “Sea Wall,” by Simon Stephens.

Scott plays a man recounting a personal story of love, faith and devastating loss, and realistically captures the ramblings, interruptions and deflections that people often employ in conversation. He uses the entire studio space behind him, wandering around, pacing, glancing out the windows, thus creating a full sense of setting around him. His mannerisms are precise and seem to intentionally create parallels in his storytelling; a large, grasping gesture can demonstrate both his young daughter reaching innocently upward and his attempt to summon a word from thin air.

The Rogue

In the hands of the wrong director and the wrong lead actor, Tom Ripley, the sociopathic con man turned killer from Patricia Highsmith’s popular book series, could easily be flattened to a common criminal. What makes Ripley more than just another bad guy in the latest mystery-thriller is his elusiveness; his Ripley is often psychologically opaque and unpredictable.

Scott’s performance in “Ripley” is reserved but not at all withholding. He leaves just wide enough of a window through which the audience can see Ripley’s thoughts and emotional reactions while leaving the rest open to interpretation.

Scott’s charisma usually bleeds through his characters, who even at their most villainous are effortlessly alluring. But Scott corks his charm as Ripley, who isn’t suave in either his social interactions or his crimes. The stillness that this Ripley exudes barely disguises the frenetic energy beneath the surface. In the scenes in which Ripley suspects he is about to be caught, he smiles and makes small talk, tries to relax his posture into a faux act of confidence. But his eyes are tense and focused, like that of an animal spotting a predator.

Ripley is stiff; his conversations are often practiced, from his answers to the way he sits. Perhaps the most prevalent emotion that Scott reveals in this character is shame. When Ripley’s unrefined taste comes under attack — “Who in the world would wear a purple paisley robe,” Ripley’s will-be victim says with a derisive chuckle — embarrassment flits across his face just briefly, in the hardened creases around his mouth and a quick downward glance. Then it’s gone as quickly as it appeared.'
