There's a lot to be said for making people laugh. Did you know that that's all some people have? It isn't much, but it's better than nothing in this cockeyed caravan.

SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS (1941) | dir. Preston Sturges

Barbara Windsor (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the Carry On films)—I think it's really scrungly how Barbara Windsor uses her ~assets~ to not just be a sex object, but be SILLY with how sexy she is. she so easily could have been a one-off sexist butt of the joke but I always get the sense she's driving the humor, using her big batty eyes, tiny stature, goofy voice, and jessica rabbit figure to turn herself into a living Looney Toon.

Franklin Pangborn (Mr. Deeds Goes To Town, Easy Living, Design for Living)—Franklin Pangborn was a character actor who frequently played just under the radar queer/gay characters and comic relief. In this movie Easy Living [22:32 in this link] he plays this shopkeeper guy and when I saw it I could not believe it. A man in the 1930s clearly being queer and silly and having fun with it! Since then he keeps appearing in old movies I am watching and I like seeing my guy. He is a fun character actor and it is nice to see him.

Looove this Franklin Pangborn fourth wall break in easy living. The stock pansy knows all .. he is aware of the audience, of the narrative, and of his own oppression therein

In case you missed the full story of the story of Silas Pangborn and Eloisa Ravenscar, here it is: In the Bane Chronicles, Magnus briefly meets Silas and Eloisa. Magnus notes that Silas introduces Eloisa as his parabatai but it reminds him of someone introducing their wife. In The Infernal Devices, Gabriel and Gideon recount a story that their father told them. Silas Pangborn was their uncle on their mother’s side of the family. Silas and Granville Fairchild (Charlotte’s father) were close friends, however Grandville snitched to the Clave that Silas and Eloisa were in love. Because of the events that followed this, Silas killed himself. Benedict Lightwood, manipulated this story though to claim that his wife died of grief from losing her brother to divert from the fact that he killed her from infecting her with demon pox (🎶demon pox oh demon pox🎶). This story comes back in during The Dark Artifices when Silas and Eloisa are mentioned because of Emma and Julian’s situation. They’re basically referred to as a cautionary tale about the consequences of parabatai falling in love.

I definitely missed putting those pieces together on my first read. It wasn’t until my chronological reread that it all clicked. It’s not really anything that consequential to the plots, but it is interesting that this story comes up throughout the series.
