#peaky blinders thoughts

john wanting to marry lazzie plotline in s01 existed solely to show that tommy was more than ready to sabotage his brother's relationship to hiw own gain (i.e marrying john with esme to end the war with lees), because that's never explored again! john and lizzie move on from each other like they never had anything to begin with! i can't help but feel that's lazy as hell.

HCs of Alfie with a younger wife? Like in her mid 20s 💕

Hello my darling!!! I’m sorry this took forever! But I am back!!! Please enjoy this little nugget. Also y’all HCs are so fun!!!! Maybe I should do more.

He wasn’t planning on marrying a younger woman. Let’s be honest he wasn’t planning on getting married PERIOD.

But then you blustered in…

You came in. Full of wisdom so far beyond your age. Full of confidence that came from the knowledge that you were the best you you could be. Full of light that he thought would flee from a man like him.

He immediately was drawn to you. Your soothing voice that brought down his rage, which so quickly could come full force against him when he got too brash and foolish, reminding him that there’s no need to destroy what was not yet broken.

Despite the incurable draw to you, he said he would stay away. Be respectful. Be a respectful old man.

You would have none of it. Because truthfully he wasn’t that old. He was just snippy and preferred his habits. He hadn’t been a young man ever since the war. Regardless what his birth certificate said.

In truth it didn’t take too much to get him to relent. He’s just a man in front of a beautifully infuriating woman. And after a screaming match ending with you laughing at his reddening ears and hoarse voice, he let himself finally say it, “Right then. Now only my woman gets to screech at me like you do. So I’ll see you tomorrow night? Take you to the pictures and maybe dinner?”

And soon enough he asked for your hand, rumors and shaking heads be damned. He needed you more than air, and for some reason you loved him just as much.

Alfie expected his life would change once you were moved into his home. Was only natural. But he didn’t expect to change THIS much.

Or that he would like it. That he would feel like a chasm he didn’t realize he had was finally sealed up and healed with the first morning he woke up to you next to him.

Younger yes. Unorganized you were not. And very quickly upon your arrival did you see the bachelor pad state and work your magic to rectify. To turn this dragon’s cave into an actual home. Curtains and windows finally opened to let in fresh air. Ledgers and letters were filed away. The garden in the back finally being tended to to indicate actual humans lived and loved on the premises.

Remember that Alfie has been a bachelor the majority of his life. Any pretty women which came into his life were quickly shoo’d away. So to say he was puzzled by your… womanly… tools?? Weapons??… was putting it lightly.

“My dove now what the fuck are these? They look like tiny dinner rolls.”

“They’re rollers Alfie! For my hair! Gives it the wave.”

“Right right hair wave rollers yes of course. Now what about these… powders and things?”

“My rouge and lipstick darling.”

He didn’t get it at all.

Though Alfie is partial to opera and the absolute classics, he adores the new music you bring home. His family in Boston adore you immensely and have taken to mailing you the newest records in America.

If you’re extra sweet, you can usually coax him to dance with you, spinning yourself around him in a tizzy. By the end of your evenings he’s drunk without even a single sip of rum.

He’s never been so happy. So care free. But there is this nagging feeling in his stomach. One that won’t go away. That maybe you’re not truly happy. That you’re secretly wishing to be back out with the young people. To go out dancing in pretty dresses instead of in the living room in your dressing gown. To be fawned over in illustrious restaurants instead of cooking dinner together most nights. Had he robbed you of your youth simply because he’s selfish?

He never tells you this. No being a man means keeping your feelings inside and not letting your woman see you less than perfectly confident. (His words not mine)

But you read him so easily. It’s easy when you love someone so completely. Especially if your lover gets the deepest scowl on his face when he’s troubled, staring deep into space.

When you finally coax him out of him, he merely grumbled like a shifting mountain, trying to brush it off.

But oh how he wished he told you sooner. You assure him that you never really enjoyed the clubs and high society outings. You much preferred to stay home with your friends and other loved ones. What could possibly be out there that could even come close to what you have in the house.

When you do manage to get out of the house, either to the cinema, walking Cyril, venturing out for dinner, or because you insisted that walking is good for him, he is fully aware of the stares.

Some are… disapproving. As much as they can be towards the King of Camden. But the ones he is most irritated by are the love sick stares of the young men who trail after you. Clearly covetous and stupid enough to be blind to the beast that walks close beside you.

He is shocked you don’t notice. When he brings it up to you, you merely laugh, “Why would I be noticing men staring? The only man I’m concerned with is you.”

That comment makes him smirk wickedly, grasping firmly to your waist as you laughed brightly, swatting his chest playfully when he growls in your ear.

For all your ferocity and fiery eyes, Alfie still dotes on you and frets over you. Little presents are common. He insists on you bundling at the slightest drop of temperature or precipitation. And begrudgingly “permits” you to attend to errands on your own (you and everyone else knows he would never forbid you unless it was truly dangerous. But he loves to rile you up and tease).

You’ll never want for anything being his bride. Nothing is off limits for you. Even if he does make a show of pulling out bank notes, groaning about how his bank account suffers. Even when he’s the one that insists on buying you new things.

He may be the older one, but you are some how so much more wiser and practical. Anchoring him to the present when the nightmares come. Secretly convening with his doctors to heal the deep aches and malaise. He insists you’re magic.

To some it’s unconventional. Your love doesn’t make sense. But to those who truly know, you’re a match made in heaven.

Hi isa!! 💓 I hope you are doing greatttt! 🤗 Well after reading your tags under the S4 Tommy you reblogged and wrote that the haircut is awful!! 🫢 yes, lowkey I kinda agree (now that i look back at it i cannot unsee it) 🤪 like with the way its swept to the side it is not framing his face better and I feel like his hair should be falling in his face all the time cause i love that, he looks so lovely that way 😍. I'd love to hear your opinion on why do you think it is awful 🤔 and which season Tommy haircut you think is your fav and the best in your opinion? 🤭💖

Hey M 😍 Lovely to see your ask on my inbox and the questions you've brewed for me 🤭

I'm sorry that i drew attention to Tommy's haircut in season four 😂 Once you notice it, you really can't unsee it 🫣 I find it awful for the same reason as you: it doesn't frame his face properly. The haircut's charm (for me) is semi long bang falling over his forehead, without it looks like a wig or a piece of fur that was placed over his head 🤣 It doesn't diminish his beauty at all but is rather weird!

The best in my opnion is S01 to S03:

There are a few differences between the haircut across these three seasons but it doesn't drastically change and it fits the criteria i listed to you 😁

My fav though, and this might be controversial since i've seen people shitting on it before 🤣, is season five:

Some people don't like the completely shaved sides but i do 😆 In fact, i love it! It gives him this extra dangerous vibe (and it kinda shows phisically how on edge he is that season, if that even makes sense 🤣) and i'm more than ready to fall on my knees and say: "Yes, daddy Sir"

The gif doesn't show (it was HARD to find one from S05, let alone one that showed why i'm so in love with it) but the bang is longer too and falls beautifully in his eyes 🫠 But i'm sure you know what i'm talking about 😉

I couldn't find a gif but i feel like making an honourable mention to season six haircut. The grey hair is just 🥵

Thank you for this fun ask, M 🤗 Feel free to send me more 😘

Protective older siblings

The mafia au for the listeners being a crime family. This was when Angel finally got with a certain someone.

Angel sat in the movie theater, watching how the two 'gangsters' fought with each other. Scoffing at the sight they eat the popcorn bought at the front desk.

"We don't fight like that, we fight like we're in a damn bar fight or get the fucking gun." Grumbling out Angel laughed seeing one of the actors get knocked out. Then the doors of the theater slammed open, 'fuck.' thinking Angel then turned and their three older siblings.

"Get out all of ya!" Barking out the command Rook had Boo and Casper behind them. People scurried off seeing who it was, the older siblings of the Eavesdropper crime family. Angel didn't look at them as Rook sat down, Boo and Casper went to the doors to guard them.

"Tell me his name." Bluntly saying, Rook started at their younger sibling. Not reacting Angel ate the popcorn, then turned to them.

"Luci Diablo." Telling a fake name, Rook didn't noticed and walked out. Only to storm right back in after telling the name to their twin and second sibling.

"Tell me his name, Halo! I need to know if he's good enough for you!" Sternly saying Rook pointed at their sibling. Who in turn, rolled their eyes and scoft.

"No you want to fucking hurt him!" Hissing out Angel stood in front of their eldest sibling. The leader of the crime family huffed seeing their third sibling retaliate.

"What? Sacred I'll run him off? If he's half of a man he won't let me get between the two of you!" This was true, it's something every partner of the Eavesdropper family went through. To see if your a spy or not willing to be ready for shit, their partners with someone apart of a crime family.

"Just wait for me to show him to the family please. It's.....it's fucking complicated, Monarch..." Pleading to the eldest, Angel really hopes they'll back off. Looking straight into their eyes, Rook grunted and kicked a theater chair.

"You better show him soon or I'm knocking down your door." Growling out, Rook then stalked out the theater. Slamming the door's, Angel stood there clutching their popcorn bag. Then turning to the booth they shouted.

"Oi! I'm a Eavesdropper too ya know? Put my fuckin' movie back on!" Plopping down the movie resumed. Angrily munching on popcorn, Angel worried how their sibling's would take them dating a demon?
