love and light to big blue sky readers everywhere but for the last time, yorkshire is not in wales.

wales is a whole different country. please…. please learn this…. this is important

#the idea of big blue sky remus with a welsh accent is jarring and unsettling #I need to set the record straight #yorkshire is in england #wales is not england #I don’t know how this ‘big blue sky is set in wales’ narrative started but on behalf of northern england I’m putting an end to it #different country different accent different language different vibes entirely #the welsh are a whimsical and happy people full of song and poetry #the people of yorkshire are not #and we’re bloody proud of that #don’t take that away from us #they have dragons #we have whippets and flat caps #ok #I love you all but this educational post was necessary

York is one of those places that I try to convince people going to the UK to visit--it looks like a fucking movie set, it's not hard to get to, and Yorkshire people are my immediate rebuttal to the idea that English people aren't friendly. People in Yorkshire are wildly kind and open-handed.

#also the folks we met in the pub were very quick to tell us that southern English people sucked ahaha #oh yes they're miserable #we're lovely #visit yorkshire ahaha

Me normally: Let people love what they love

Me, after a Test Match Special commentator expresses their belief that the new All Creatures Great and Small is somehow "better" than the 1978 version: This is pure insanity and TMS can no longer be trusted on anything, how can they even be trusted to know about cricket, do they have no TASTE

#Look it's fine that this show exists and people will watch it and like it and that's ok maybe it's just not for me #But that was like a statement purely designed to piss me off #There were lots of issues with the 1978 adaptation! I still vastly preferred the books any day!#And I actually initially had high hopes for the new one because they at least cast a Scot (albeit a Highlander not a Clydesider) as James #And the actors at least looked a little bit younger than Christopher Timothy and Robert Hardy #And thank god Helen actually sounds like she's a farmer's daughter and doesn't speak RP!#But from the half hour I've seen of it I've had to write off this new adaptation #For two major reasons #First of all there's Siegfried #Siegfried is one of the key central aspects of the vibe of the books and therefore key to any adaptation #Robert Hardy was too short and too old for the part but he lived and breathed the character #The twinkle in the eye bouncing off the walls and in and out of rooms followed by half a dozen dogs utterly full of life even when angry #But this new Siegfried is just sort of... Eeyore-esque; he comes into a room and you can see the flowers droop and the set turn grey #Siegfried was angry Siegfried was happy and the historical character he was based on was no stranger to melancholy #Since Donald Sinclair did commit suicide or rather self-euthanasia after Alf Wight and his own wife Audrey died #But this slow grumbly figure in the new adaptation is not Siegfried Farnon- the book character didn't grumble more often he exploded #And why did the adaptation give him a dead wife that's so weird? What could that possibly add to the source material?#And this brings me onto my second problem which is to do with women and age #Firstly I have no idea why they aged down Mrs Hall or at least made her look younger than a woman her age would have back then #But what really drove me mad was when Heriot goes out to see some old woman hill farmer in the episode I saw #And this woman is far too clean and young-looking and you can see that she's wearing 'natural' look make-up #And a perfect set of clothes that looked like they were straight out of the House of Bruar autumn collection catalogue #Say what you like about the 1978 adaptation but old women looked like old women regardless of whether or not they wore make-up #It may be that the better quality of television screens means that the 'natural look' shows up on screen more clearly than it would have #But natural look make-up was not really a thing in the 1930s and for old women Yorkshire hill farmers I doubt they'd have much on at all #They just don't seem to be capable of allowing people to look old and wrinkled and real or have bad teeth or unattractive clothes #And everything is far too tidy- everybody looks far too perfectly country and quaint #Anyway the moral of this story is of course that I always recommend reading the books because they're much better #than any tv adaptation; but if forced to choose at least the 1970s one felt real and yet didn't have to be grim either #Ok that's my rant over please do feel free to enjoy the show I just got annoyed because the opinion was expressed on TMS

One of the greatest mysteries of the Red Shoes fandom will forever be the enigma of where Arthur’s accent is from 💀

#I’ve seen people say it’s Scottish I’ve seen people say it’s from Yorkshire #I’ve probably heard more #WHAT IS IT #last I checked the person who said it was from Yorkshire or whatever was actually British #so I’m more inclined to believe them #BUT STILL #I don’t even remember the name of his voice actor so I can’t look up where he’s from #but also his va is probably American so #red shoes and the seven dwarfs #red shoes and the 7 dwarfs #red shoes movie #rsatsd #rsat7d #red shoes arthur #smartie speaks

thinking about the accents of everybody in pelican town,,the older adults who have spent a long time there having thicker ‘countryside’ accents (whatever they would be), while the younger adults like seb, sam and abigail have less obvious ones from growing up using the internet a lot (i am projecting). sebastian has the most ‘neutral’ of them all. penny has more of a twinge, picking it up from pam. lewis, marnie, willy, george and evelyn probably have the most noticeable accents. if alex sounds too ‘city’ george makes fun of him. george does that to all the younger adults. harvey came from the city, has picked up a thing or two but still sounds distinctly like he’s from zuzu. i think it’d be funny if vincent had a thicker accent. he gives ipad kid vibes but i think jodi would restrict his screen time a lot. haley would 100% try to hide her accent, emily less so. it slips out when haley gets mad/drunk. the wizard has his own accent. nobody knows where it’s from. elliott, demetrius, shane and maru don’t have the countryside accent too because they’re also from out of town. maybe if shane did grow up in the valley and then moved away, he’s like haley, starts turning country when he’s drunk. or maybe when he’s relaxed, like around his chickens!

#this is a huge dump of my stream of consciousness LOL #i just imagined people poking fun at the farmer when they speak and it turned into this #also i didnt give a specific ‘country’ accent because sdv isn’t set anywhere irl #i switch from the stereotypical southern us country accent to the west country from the uk while imaging these #george with a thick somerset accent makes sense #OR maybe yorkshire. yes maybe yorkshire #stardew valley #stardew valley headcanons #accents

YOUR COMMENT ABT PEOPLE IN THE NORTH. SO TRUE!!! also they really obsess over stabbings in england its so weird 😭😭 i see their comments all the time on tiktok/instagram. I blame that london crime account

i remember a few years ago when a train straight from grimsby to london was proposed by a company or something(?) and the comments of the article were people going ‘great now we’re going to get terrorists up here’ and i cannot express enough how that is exactly how people in rinky dink towns think . like the only thing stopping a bombing is a changeover at doncaster

#btw the north has a lot going for it and I love where I am (yorkshire) a lot BUT !#and dgmw the stabbing stats for the uk generally are. um bad #but the way people like tremble about ldn it’s like grow UP susan

Oh my god the Sharpe reference and excerpt in the latest episode.

“Poor Contessa…”

“Why, what happens to the Contessa??”

CABT BELIEVE TERESA ALSO DIES IN THIS AU SERIES AS WELL COME ON

Also “Swift’s Hurrah” come on. I want to transcribe that whole snippet it’s (hah) Gold

#the entire read excerpt has me CRYING #YES! that’s kinda the perfect parody #of all the things I was expecting from this episode Detailed Sharpe Reference was not one of them #TERESA NOOOO #also ‘One-Shot O’Shea’#LMAO #also!! important question!!#is Captain Swift ALSO a Yorkshireman?? and that’s what appealed to Clara??#because I’m choosing to believe he’s from Yorkshire here too #this reference was made for like 3 people #I usually Sharpe Post on main but this is so funny #obsessed with the fact Clara is a fan #the guard’s ‘this is rubbish I can’t stop reading’ HELP #victoriocity #not on my bingo card for the season but I love it
