sorry let me rant about downton abbey 10 years later

Thomas's conversion therapy plot pisses me off so much. firstly, it's incredibly out of character. he never wanted to change to conform to society, he wanted the world to change to accomodate him. the man who said "it's not against the law to hope is it" and "I'm not foul, Mr Carson, I'm not like you, but I'm not foul" would NEVER

secondly, from a storytelling perspective, the only 'problem' is that he used infected needles. did we forget that Thomas was a sergeant in the RAMC? he knows how to sterilise needles and how to recognise and treat infection. this also shifts the blame to Thomas himself for getting sick and implies that the conversion therapy itself is harmless (Dr Clarkson says it's just saline solution)

thirdly, it's not historically accurate. I'm not an expert but conversion therapy was not at all common in the 1920s, even Sigmund Freud was against it. hormone therapy and chemical castration were barely developing let alone available to the public (I can't imagine what else the 'treatment' was supposed to be). the only practices that I can find evidence of were psychoanalysis and electric shock therapy

Thomas also mentions that he did electric shock treatment - if you really want to make a point about homophobia in the 1920s (and make Thomas suffer as much as possible), show that instead. watching him be literally tortured for his sexuality would have been far more impactful than him just... looking sweaty for a few episodes

AU where in season 1 Jadzia tries to let Julian down gently/scare him off by telling him that if she were Curzon, she would absolutely take him to her quarters, but she is not Curzon and while he might be his type, he is not hers

But all that achieves is Julian having a "hold on, an older man.... and I 😳" breakthrough moment so when Garak first shows up Julian's mind is PRIMED for that cringe old man charme

Last week, Noel talked with Getty about the courgette (zucchini) village Dick Turpin creates in the first episode!

Noel: “The courgette village was a beautiful prop, they made it out of real courgettes. Obviously in the Boosh, we would have gone inside a courgette village.”

i think its funny as fuck julian was like. collectively one of our Least favourite ao characters ever...and meanwhile

we have a julian ourselves

and asura and reese have positive memories (and have romantic crushes) of their julians in memory

and so now when we see julian we just go "hey its that loser" affectionately instead of derogatively

The Book of Margery Kempe is reminding me I need to start reading Inconvenient People: Lunacy, Liberty and the Mad-Doctors in Victorian England by Sarah Wise again. It’s about the treatment of the ‘insane’ in Victorian England, and it goes through various specific people who were deemed insane, as well as reforms over the course of the century. I didn’t finish it because it’s a bit intense but the first man discussed experienced delusions and heard voices that remind me of Margery Kempe. He managed to cure himself in spite of the asylum he was placed in and was an eccentric and very driven reformer from that point on. Its been too long since I’ve read it for me to be very clever or in depth, but I am seeing parallels.
