The "Mr Birling vs. Carolyn Knapp-Shappey" vibes are impeccable

I type 4 Eva on the groupchat and they think I mean forever when I actually mean for Eva Smith from an inspector calls who deserves better

I'm grieving so badly over the quotes I remember that I never got to write down, so I'm going to draw a bunch of doodles with the quotes I still remember before I thankfully forget it forever. And to the people doing gcses right now, let's celebrate the end of having to memorise quotes from british plays by getting sloshed over champers and then drink more seeing as we have more exams this week!!! :D

(Edexcel gave us easier questions than I thought, I don't know what I was so worried about, hahah...)

If Sheila Birling has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Sheila Birling has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Sheila Birling has only one fan then that is me. If Sheila Birling has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Sheila Birling , then I am against the world.

I did my final essay of An Inspector Calls today! The question was about how Mrs Birling was presented and what the purpose was. I came prepared with notes (it was open book- thank god) n stuff and wrote 4 and a half pages! But tbh i don't think I really managed 2 really expand on the quotes n annotate them n stuff, so I'm kinda scared I'll get a bad grade :<

We're gonna start a new topic after spring term break, it's gonna be about Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and like the tryhard I was, I read that book 2 be ready 4 it . I'm actually so excited for it, I rlly loved that book!! :33

Not doing English in college anymore is wild because it means 1) I don’t get to subtly write fanfiction in class anymore and 2) I don’t have those moments where I think I NEED to go home and read shitty fanfiction about this.

"[MRS. B] is about fifty, a rather cold woman and her husband's social superior."

Mrs. Birling is the embodiment of the upper class - cold and unfeeling, believing herself to be better than those lower than her in the social heirarchy.

She is not what the audience might expect from a mother, most likely having done very little in terms of raising her children. This, also, presents her as the embodiment of the upper class.

it wasn't Gerald Croft on the AIC question.

Random ass headcanon that From Eroica With Love and Cabin Pressure take place in the same universe. Don't ask me why; it makes sense in my brain somehow.
