#poldark musing

[flipperbrain-awakes]

Is it weird that I (and others I think) imbue Ross Poldark with great sexual prowess because he's hot? Maybe he's a big fumbler, a 5-minute man. But that couldn't possibly be could it? There's a deftness of hands and lips that must translate, and of course Margaret knows the deets. "Pity he hasn't your skill at cards... or in other ways." Seems like with her experience, she'd know the difference. One would think in those days he must've availed himself with prostitutes because no respectable female would do the deed? Then again, who knows what the soldiers in the British army got up to in America. Guess that will have to be my little head canon.

For the Wip Ask Meme:

I am so far behind that I am not sure what has been asked already. So something out of left field:

What song or picture or scene is dominating your brain/writing thoughts/muse these days?

You ask the most thoughtful questions @oenothera5!!

I’m not good at face claims or fancasts, but I did make a Pinterest board for The Odds and found some general vibes for Prim, Johanna, and Annie

Prim - I mean… Lily James.

Johanna - Jenna Coleman just looks like mischief!

Annie - Ellise Chappell in Poldark is stately and placid and also fragile and deeply traumatized.

I’ve never heard of Mr Malcom’s List - but I liked this too - maybe some Katniss in District 12 feels?

Prim inspo and this too

Lady Mason Inspo

Annie inspo & At the beach

Manchesters' reviews of Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons are in!

And it is truly amazing how much better, and more accurate they are than the nonsense written by London critics.

Lemons wrapped its London run at the Harold Pinter theatre on Saturday, and started its first show at the Manchester Opera House yesterday. Here are some of the reviews I've seen:

If you read any review, read this one. It is by far and away the best, most detailed, and most accurate of all the reviews I've read. It really gives you an understanding of what the play is about, and what it is like to see it.

"With Rourke’s direction, Jenna Coleman and Aiden Turner are able to not only sit comfortable with silence themselves but make an entire audience comfortable with it too and hold that audience in the palm of their hand.  You could hear a pin drop!  Together, Coleman and Turner are utterly charming.  They depict romance and love with an adorable and natural ease, creating a warm fuzzy glow in the theatre.  However, when their relationship is tested, they create a palpable tension and static friction.  As words become limited, their use of body language and nonverbal communication is something to behold, with every intention, every nuance being crystal clear.  Coleman is fierce yet tender and moving.  Turner is charismatic and confident, yet equally vulnerable.  They have both created real, complex, pandora’s box, self-contradicting people, and it is why the audience left feeling like these are people we know.  They play comedy, romance, heartache, and conflict, all within this one act play and it is one heck of a tangy slice they serve up!"  "Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons highlights that when you’re forced to say less, it makes you consider what you say, and how you say it.  It examines how silence, expression, eye contact and body language are powerful tools of communication.  Plus, it has Jenna Coleman and Aiden Turner!  I mean, come on!  What more could you want?!" 

🍋🍋🍋🍋

"If anyone has any sense, [Jenna Coleman and Aidan Turner] will be snapped up to combine their considerable talents in the same small screen show because they are a dream team."

🍋🍋🍋🍋

"Jenna Coleman and Aidan Turner fizz and shine in this musing romantic comedy, written by Sam Steiner." 

🍋🍋🍋🍋

"Turner and Coleman’s chemistry is undeniable as their characters struggle with what to say, how to say it and how to express themselves when unable to say anything at all."

20 Questions for Fic Writers!

I was tagged by the wonderful @minim236 ! 😘 Thank you, doll!

1- How many works do you have on AO3?

Only 7! (Very soon to be 8! 👀) All of them are from my Meet Me at Midnight series.

2- What's your total AO3 word count?

67,450… which is a little crazy to me! (Also, in looking for these stats, I learned that “Can I Ask You a Question” has 15,998 words, and now it’s taking everything in me not to just go in and add two words somewhere. LOL)

3- What fandoms do you write for?

I’m still a really new writer, and Bridgerton is the only fandom I’ve written in, technically… Although I once started a Poldark fanfic that I abandoned and never published. (That was back when I was still very gun shy about posting anything anywhere!)

4- What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

First place: Can I Ask You a Question? - 290

2 - I’m So In Love - 258

3 - Stars by the Pocketful - 233

4 - Older but Just Never Wiser - 185

Last place: My Whole Life - 154

(“Can I Ask You a Question?” was the one I was most insecure about so it’s nice that it did so well.)

5- Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I respond to every comment I see because I can’t believe how sweet people have been about my little stories. I so appreciate everyone who takes the time to say something nice!

I’ve always loved writing. Pretty much since I could hold a pencil, it’s been a sort of coping mechanism (and occasionally a source of stress 😆 ) but I’ve never ever felt confident enough to share anything with anyone. With fanfic, I finally freed myself to write little plotless stories and share them, and it’s been unbelievably rewarding and I genuinely feel it’s helping me grow as a writer. Knowing that people enjoy the thing that gave me so much joy to write is mind-blowing. ❤️

6- What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Honestly, I’m not that angsty in my writing. I think “Older but Just Never Wiser” was my angstiest fic, but the ending was still fairly sweet and resolved. I honestly can’t imagine myself writing something with an angsty ending!

7- What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Oh my gosh, I think my first one, “I’m So In Love…” was absolutely saccharine! It was nothing but candy-coated sweetness. However, “My Whole Life” ended in a proposal/engagement with like fireworks, so I guess it’s a coin toss.

8- Do you get hate on fics?

I haven’t yet! (Thanks, everyone!!)

9- Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

No — not yet! I’m definitely still too shy about it. But I do have an outline for a little something smutty that I wrote once when the muse visited me with it... Whether it will ever see the light of day depends on, like, my confidence and the supply of whisky in my house. Haha

10- Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

No crossovers! I haven’t even read a lot of crossovers, so that’s completely uncharted territory for me.

11- Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of! (I don’t think I’m high-profile enough for that! LOL)

12- Have you ever had a fic translated?

I haven’t!

13- Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No! But that sounds super fun.

14- What's your all-time favorite ship?

Right now, I’m pretty ride-or-die for Kanthony. I’ve loved so many ships throughout my life, though!

15- What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

SO. About two years ago (before I came late to the Bridgerton party), I had watched Poldark and it was so beautiful but also had a lot of heart-wrenching aspects, which sort of matched the dark place I was in mentally, so I started a Poldark fic that was just full of angst and sadness and hurt feelings. I never finished it, but I think about it quite a lot, actually, and how I left those guys hanging. I’d love to finish it just to give them some closure, but I’m not really in that headspace these days (which is a good thing!).

Also, more recently, I had an idea for a Regency-era, canon-compliant Kanthony story that I actually did start (I wrote a prologue and have an outline for the rest of it) but as I’m getting into it, I’m rapidly losing confidence that it’s a good idea…. So I don’t know. It might end up abandoned. It’s Anthony POV and more angsty than my Midnights series. It would be a challenge to write, for sure, and maybe that’s why it makes me nervous!

16- What are your writing strengths?

Oh gosh, that’s so hard to answer. I like to think my writing paints a picture, because I see the characters and settings so vividly in my head. Hopefully that’s true!

17- What are your writing weaknesses?

Well, in a general way, second-guessing myself is the BIGGEST weakness. But I often catching myself writing in what I call “outline form,” where I write like “she did that. Then he said this. Then this happened.” And I have to go back and write in more emotional reactions and physical sensation. Also, I’m intimidated by writing conflict and angst. 😂

18- Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

That’s fascinating, and frankly it’s a really intimidating thought. Language is so complex that using a translator just doesn’t capture the full scope and meaning of words and phrases, does it? So, I feel like I would only go there if I could check with someone who knew the language.

19- First fandom you wrote for?

Oh wow. I guess technically that’s Poldark (see above) but back in high school (before I knew what fanfic was) I wrote out a prose version of scenes from a Broadway musical I was obsessed with because I wanted to explore the inner feelings of one of the characters. Nothing was really original, but I needed to do it in order to understand this character I couldn't stop thinking about. Now, looking back, I realize that was fanfic!

20- Favorite fic you've written?

I have this special place in my heart for “I’m So In Love…” because it’s the first fic I ever finished and the first one I ever shared. It also really captured a moment in time for me personally, so I think that one will always be a fave for me. Tied with it is “Stars by the Pocketful,” which was an idea that I carried in my heart for MONTHS before posting “So In Love” gave me the confidence to write it down. That one felt like it was burning a hole in my imagination for ages and I’m so genuinely happy with the finished product.

I’m tagging these lovely people, but no pressure! ❤️- @mimix007, @harnitbee, @nervousladytraveler, @ninamayawrites, @stars-of-kyber

Does anyone else think this is a super weird scene? Like Ross, why are you cleaning up rocks? Put them in a wheelbarrow then dump them in a pile next to the other pile? There are thousands of them laying around... and a mile or two away from your house so "I can't afford a farm hand" makes no sense. I get he needs to be at the mine so Francis can happen by, it's just an odd way to get there imo. That is all.

[adsagsona]

Could people be so kind as to reblog memes from the source, please. Or if you reblog from me, maybe send me an ask? Getting your hopes up when you check your activity and then seeing just a reblog kind of dampens the spirit.

Thank you for your consideration.

(I have the feeling I'm channelling Ross, so here's some side-eye lol)

You know, I can’t tell if it’s just another symptom of the fandom’s general antipathy towards Elizabeth or if the 70s show really skewed people’s perception of what the characters are ‘supposed’ to look like, but I find it very interesting that of all the characters, it’s always Elizabeth/Heida that is called out for not looking like her book counterpart.

Yes, book!Elizabeth is actually blonde, but book!Caroline is a redhead, and book!Demelza has very dark hair (on that one I’m pretty certain it’s the fact that both Angharad Rees and Eleanor Tomlinson had red hair whilst portraying her). Why does all the ‘but she looks nothing like her book counterpart!’ discussion focus in on Heida’s hair colour?

I mean, in terms of the ‘Valentine looks like Ross’ storyline, I get it. With Heida having very similar colouring to Aidan, it is a bit absurd. Show!Valentine doesn’t look like Ross so much as he’s a mini me of his mother (but I think I’m correct in saying that book!George has darker colouring than Jack, so it’s all a bit dramatic regardless). I’ll be honest though, even there, most of my complaint with that comes from the fact that show!Geoffrey Charles at that time, and being clearly more aware of the issue than his book counterpart, seems far too old to be making an off handed comment about Valentine’s resemblance to Ross when both George, Elizabeth, and presumably several servants can hear him.

Anyway, point being, if anyone has any insight into this weird phenomenon I’d love to hear your theories!
