In your Magus AU, is Agnes just another a wizard/witch, a noble, or is she some sort of royalty for the Desolation-based kingdom? Also, does she still have a *thing* with Gertrude?

Soooo...

Agnes is the queen of the desolation-based kingdom-

she is an exception to the 'witches are only noble in name' rule but mostly her advisors make decisions.

She and Gertrude don't have the same *thing* as in GiSA but they have met 👁👁

The girls are at it again (making me ship them and then not getting together)

This is just getting repetitive now

If your relationship can survive a Shondaland press run, your relationship can survive anything.

Honourable mention to whatever Andy and Danai have going on.

really tho, the implication that Vincenzo and Queen of Tears exist in the same universe and nobody bats an eye at the fact that the young male heirs of two separate problematic conglomerates have the same exact face is hilarious to me

this isn't even me being a certified CrozGirl (i'm an hbo* war girl, if anything)- but some of the reactions to croz getting it on with sandra feel very "i can excuse war crimes, but i draw the line at extramarital affairs" tbh

Last night they were acting Moliere in Fourteenth Street; Dickens was being played through the auspices of Nigel Playfair. Further uptown, George M. Cohan was unveiling the latest George M. Cohan musical comedy. But Broadway, being eternally curious, turned out in greatest numbers at the Biltmore Theater in Forty-Seventh Street, where the result of Mae West's latest encounter with the drama was being performed. This was the exhibit—play is not precisely the word—with a vaudeville background, whose preliminary trip through the Bronx and Queens had been followed by rumors that here was something that might arouse the police to action.

So began the review by an unnamed theater critic for the Times on October 2, 1928. It appeared, not in the arts section, but following a front-page story about the police ... taking action.

The play was Pleasure Man, a reworking by Mae West of her earlier play The Drag. It dealt not with vaudeville, as the critic said, but burlesque, and finished with a lavish drag ball.

Cops were stationed at all theater exits and just as the play was ending, reserves surrounded the front. When the cast tried to leave, they were arrested—56 in all, including West, who also acted in the show.

Of course this attracted audience members (some in evening dress, the Times noted) from other theaters nearby. The presence of cabs and other cars waiting to pick up theater-goers and actors added to the chaos.

Flashlights exploded as news photographers tried to capture the actors being led into paddy wagons. The police had to make five trips to get everyone to the station house on 47th St., where they were charged with indecency.

By 2:30 in the morning, Actors Equity posted bail. West's was $500, which may have been more than the others because she was doubly guilty, having written the play as well as acted in it. The producer, director, and theater staff were not arrested.

For some reason, the cops let the next day's matinee start, but raided it halfway through and arrested everyone once more. They had their own theatrical flair.

The trial wasn't held until April of 1930, and resulted in a hung jury. By that time West was a star, having triumphed in another play of her own called Diamond Lil. The next year she went to Hollywood.

If I had a nickel every time a shondaland show has a character admit their horniness to their friend who also slept with someone in their family, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it has happened twice.

Most unrealistic part of season 3!

Brimsley telling the Queen „we had good luck with bridertons the past seasons.“

WHAT DO YOU MEAN??!!

Season 1 - Daphne refused the PRINCE which was set up by the queen herself, gets in a Scandal with Simon and they have to get special permission to marry???!!!

Season 2 - Anthony and Edwina are THE chosen couple of the Queen and she organises their wedding herself just for them to break up AT THE ALTAR!!!!!!

But suuuuure….. bridgertons being so much good fortune to the Queen

'Queen - Scandal' aesthetic

That's my favorite song from 'The Miracle' album and that's how I see this song. Scandals, gossip, intrigue - 1989 was a difficult year for the band...

One of the many great things about Shonda Rhimes is her ability to cast some of the amazing and talented actors in her shows. Going from Grey’s to Station 19, each one of her shows was elevated by the performances of the entire ensembles. I fell in love with these actors and I thank Shonda for it.

Shonda’s signature ✍🏾, from the school of Miss Austen:

Give me yearning, give me desire!
