ladyreysolo replied to your post “The trailer was really intriguing, but I have to admit that I’m...”

This is such a good way of seeing it! Fandom is the best!

I am 100% prepared and braced to be disappointed in Disney, but if anyone can take dross and turn it to gold, it’s the YA crowd.

5, 18!

5. Are there any shows that you‘ve been planning to start watching? Why do they interest you?

My irl best friend keeps telling me to watch Jane The Virgin (which is meant to be really good and sort of Gilmore Girls-esque). But also it's pretty long and I'm currently still not over my current Gilmore Girls fixation (despite finishing my rewatch up to the end of s7 on Wednesday and having decided not to rewatch the reboot until I get up to that point in Gilmore Guys, whose podcast I am currently listening to and is what spurred this particular bout of obsession).

Lol that was long. Anyway my gf wants to watch that Tiger King thing so I guess we'll get round to that after we finish Skin Wars and Gavin and Stacey. And I'm going to try and get her to watch Crazy Ex Girlfriend with me bc I've been wanting to watch it for ages but I know she'll really enjoy it too.

18. If you could make your own podcast, what would it be about and who would you invite to make a guest appearance?

I've actually been thinking about this lately, probably The Hour, just bc I feel like I could talk in depth about it and analyse it and have fun with it, it's something I know inside out. I think I'd like a variety of guests, other people who love it as well, and cast/crew members (lol the dream) but also I'd be super interested to watch it with someone who'd never seen it before (a la the premise of gilmore guys lol).

I'd also like to do one about the BBC version of Robin Hood bc it is objectively TERRIBLE but it's also a lot of fun, something I have a LOT to say about but also wouldn't have to take too seriously, and I also think the three seasons are all very different from each other. But yeah, basically I'd do some kind podcast based around a TV show that I love (that's probably also been off the air for many years)

Charlotte Lucas, Charles Bingley :)

caroline bingley: have you ever interfered in a burgeoning relationship? why?

technically yes? i helped my friend figure out what to text the guy she liked and then, when they got together, how my friend processed anger and frustration when he was confused by her dismissiveness (i feel like this counts bc apparently they’re still together even though i haven’t spoken to either of them in years) but i was kind of an earlier mediator for them! lol

charles bingley: what qualities do you find most attractive in a significant other?

someone who is kind and funny oh man if i’m just laughing constantly and enjoy their conversations and their presence? that’s love

physically, if they have a killer smile i’m g o n e! i’m not even on earth anymore i’m somewhere among the stars! bc their smile would make me smile and who wouldn’t want to be with someone who makes them smile?

send me pride and prejudice (2005) character asks!

top seven comfort movies

Thank you, @earnmysong, for tagging me!

This is so hard. I have so many comfort movies! Here’s a stab at it. I could much more easily list my top 20 comfort movies; I’m just saying.

Pride & Prejudice (2005) - Every single moment of this movie, a shot of sunshine to my soul! Sigh!

Hunt for the Wilderpeople - Maybe my favorite movie ever?? So funny, so moving, so unusual, so beautiful and fun to look at. I love Ricky Baker and Hector Faulkner w/ my entire soul.

Leap Year - I know that objectively this movie isn’t a brilliant creation, but also: what is Amy Adams and Matthew Goode, each in Peak Gorgeous & Adorable mode, falling in bickery love while on a picturesque Irish countryside road trip if not brilliant??

Ideal Home - I had a really hard 2019 and discovering this movie during it really helped me a lot. It was just really great to be able to fall into this movie’s movie-shaped embrace when I needed a pick-me-up, and I will cherish the blu-ray’s home on my shelf forever! So funny, so bantery, so sweet and poignant underneath the caustic surface. Such a warm and rewarding ending that I totally didn’t expect the first time I watched it because it feels so rare to have movies about gay couples that end happily even now. SUFJAN STEVENS.

Ever After - A fave for so many years! I wish we could have more fairytale retellings as completely wonderful as this movie. I feel like this movie perfectly encompasses this certain warmth and wit and romance that period drama movies often had in the 90s, an energy that I miss intensely.

The Holiday - The number one reason I look forward to Christmastime every year. Who among you can blame me?? The world has not given me Jack Black: Romcom Hero nearly enough. (But at least it’s given us Jack Black: Popular Teenage Girl in Jumanji.)

Peter Rabbit - Ahahaha, throwin’ out a wild card! The first time I watched this movie -- having dragged my boyfriend to it in the movie theatre because WHY NOT?? -- I fell in love at first sight at every scene that met my eyeballs, and I am in love still. So much quaint countryside time! Domhnall Gleeson and Rose Byrne being hilarious and extremely cute! So, so, so, so many brutal man vs. bunny fights! “Steal My Sunshine”! I never said I had taste!

I was tagged by the delightful @bryonyashley. Thank you kindly! :)

Rules: answer the following questions and tag 9 others to do the same.

Top 4 ships: Superbat, naturally. Mulder/Scully. Lois/Clark. Lord Peter/Harriet Vane... I’ll be honest, I don’t really do a lot of fandom ‘shipping anymore. Got tired of having to figuratively stand on my head and squint with one eye to see the alleged sparks, just because everyone insisted I had to. (Long story that started in SGA and kind of peaked with due South. Short version is: never tell me how I’m supposed to feel about the characters, which ones I’m supposed to ‘ship, because I will out-stubborn a mule and go my own way. )

Last song: In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins ... Oh well, now it’s Africa by Toto 

Last film: The Great Wall (because @susiecarter is evil)

Reading: Still going on Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts by Kate Racculia, and just finished I Shall Not Want by Julia Spencer-Fleming

What food are you craving right now: Potatoes. I always crave potatoes. Preferably fried, with some onions.

Thanks for the tag, @fingersfallingupwards! The meme is spelling your blog name out with song titles, then tagging as many people are in your url. Not too bad in my case.

Without further ado...

J - Jealous Guy by John Lennon

O - Old Friends/Bookends by Simon and Garfunkel

H - Here Comes The Sun by the Beatles

N - Ne Irascaris Domine by William Byrd

J - Jesu, the very thought of thee by Paul Halley

I - Islands by Hey Ocean!

E - Eight Days a Week by the Beatles (finish on a bop!)

I’ve got to give some honourable mentions for the ‘I’, there are so many good songs I could have chosen there! If I Fell, If Ye Love Me, In My Life, Islands in the Stream, I’ve Just Seen a Face...

Do you have any Downton OCs? If not, you should get on that and we can stick 'em in the next movie. :D

I actually do have several Downton OCs--a friend and I write this long-winded collaborative Downton fic that we will never post, because it is extra and we are ridiculous. We have a whole cast that we’ve invented and I do think it adds a little something to the Downton universe! My main OC in that is Amelia Levinson, the daughter of one of Cora’s cousins. Amelia is a little bit younger than Sybil and comes to Downton in 1920 to attend Matthew and Mary’s wedding. Although she is ostensibly just there for the wedding, in reality Amelia has fled New York for England to escape the gossip and stigma of her parents’ impending divorce. When she first arrives at Downton Amelia is quite shy, but she gains confidence as she forges friendships with Matthew, Tom, and the Crawley sisters. Amelia is very musically gifted and wishes to study music, but she worries her family would not approve.

HOWEVER, since you and I have been discussing this, let’s leave Amelia on the backburner for now and whip up another OC...

Robert Crawley’s marriage to Cora has turned out better than he ever could have dreamed...but in the beginning, things weren’t so certain...A long-ago liaison with a woman he could not have--the daughter of a colleague from the Army, resulted in a secret that has the potential to devastate the residents of Downton Abbey.

Robert never thought that his past could come back to haunt him. But when his daughter Mary returns from a trip to London with a new friend in tow...a new friend who bears a striking resemblance to Mary herself...a woman who has a sharp tongue and sharper wit, who speaks her mind no matter what the occasion...who has no idea the power she holds...or does she?

Who is the Honorable Miss Lillian Reynolds? How did she and Mary meet? And does Mr. Bates know more than he is letting on?

(Also, my faceclaim for Lily is Hayley Atwell, because she and Michelle Dockery look enough alike to be plausible...)
