I'M SAYING LIKE

I don't know if the writers are lampshading here, but apparently the extreme lack of attention and interest that Edith is getting from her family is very obvious to an outsider.

Shit, right, Edith owns a publishing company. That kind of tiny detail is so easy to forget when there are more important things about her like "Visits a farmer's daughter often".

#downton abbey #edith crawley #atticus aldridge #stay gone edith plzzz stay at your publishing company #i know she comes back i'm in ep 8 already #it's so stupid wtf you could be thriving girl #your family will always suck the life out of you #and lol the wife of the farmer will DEF not keep her mouth shut if you take marigold #what kind of stupid-ass plan is that #i'm actually surprised that the visiting thing worked as long as it did - edith had a thing with a farmer before and his wife found out!#how is there not tons of gossip about her & farmers don't let her be alone with their husbands anymore?#realistically everyone would know this kind of thing in a village like that but i guess the writers don't care #the 'fake adopt marigold' plan is classic cora tbh wildly naive and removed from reality #i'm sorry she's a nice lady but she's got nothing but candy floss between her ears #not that robert is much smarter #their children and their partners are all way more intelligent than they are #DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR MOM EDITH #it's tragic - 100% of ediths problems are due to low self-esteem and bad luck
