#the sugdens are brilliant

[marymjarvis]

I haven’t fallen in love with fictional characters and the world that they inhabit the way I have with Victoriocity in YEARS. It genuinely makes me feel like a kid again, the way I got when I was reading Harry Potter for the first time and the universe just was slowly unfolding and I wanted to know everything about it outside of the main storyline. And then you have the pitch perfect humor and characters I AM VERY DEEPLY INVESTED IN that are in the most perfect Victorian slow burn of all time where I KNOW SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN EVENTUALLY BUT ITS GOING TO TAKE YEARS AND ILL BE HANGING ON TO A DARCY HAND FLEX MOMENT FOR DEAR LIFE UNTIL IT DOES, and you got me hook, line and sinker.

But seriously, it’s well written. It engages in some trope but does so in a way that only good writing can where expectation is subverted and then not that that is surprising and delightful, The pacing is excellent. The world they’ve created is completely original but totally familiar which grounds the characters and the plot.

Anyway, I bought three copies of High Vaultage (audio, ebook and special edition hard copy of course), finished it, binged season three and now I need the link to the kickstarter for the next project because I NEED MORE. This is just going to be a fan account until then.

We both know I’ve been lucky. I… I got away with a lot. Not this time.

Hey, loved your page since I first watched Robron in 2017.

I stoped watching Emmerdale in 2019 because I was devastated about Robert leaving. Not kidding I use to check Twitter every 5 mins, go on daily mail forums, go on Tumblr every 5 mins with the #Robron and watch their storyline all the time. It was hard but I was able to completely cut off.

I started watching again this week and currently at their first wedding. I’m now getting sad because I know what’s coming.

I like John, but wish he was not a Sugden because all I kept on thinking is the storylines we could have if Robert was back. Jealous Robert 2.0, another Robron affair and both Sugdens fighting for Aaron.

If they are not bringing Robert back then why keep mentioning Robert all the time. It would be brilliant if Ryan came back but I don’t think he would stay for the long run like Danny. He left to get other jobs but I only seen him on TV like once.

Do you see him coming back?

It be great if he came back for SSW 2024

Glad you've enjoyed my blog all these years.

Honestly, I don't see Ryan coming back. And I definitely don't see him coming back as part of this story. As I've mentioned in other asks today, I just think they'd be telling this story very differently if that was the goal. And really they've barely mentioned Robert in this. He should be mentioned a whole lot more but it's really been like the bare minimum. At least that's how it's seemed to me. It's like less than crumbs. We got real crumbs last year...this is like the stale leftovers of those crumbs.

I just hope Ryan continues to get work because I want to see more of him. And honestly, he probably shouldn't come back to Emmerdale with these people in charge because his character would just be destroyed or be relegated to set dressing.

Happy audio fiction Sunday! I may still be taking a break from my regular Sunday posts, but this week I wrote about the brilliant new @victoriocity novel, High Vaultage!

Is It IMPOSSIBLE To Cross The Event Horizon? | Black Hole Firewall Paradox Check out the Space Time Merch Store https://ift.tt/Zgj3Oq6 Sign Up on Patreon to get access to the Space Time Discord! https://ift.tt/hWMY40A So you’ve decided to jump into a black hole. Good news: as long as the black hole is big enough you can sail through the event horizon without harm and get to experience the interior of the black hole before you’re annihilated by the central singularity. Or so we once thought. These days, quite a few physicists believe that the only way to avoid horrible contradictions in fundamental physics generated by black holes is for all them to be surrounded by screens of extreme energy that prevent anything from ever entering the event horizon. Sounds outlandish? Welcome to black holes. So let’s find out why many of our most brilliant physicists take these black hole firewalls deadly seriously. PBS Member Stations rely on viewers like you.

the ‘sarah is robert’s bio daughter’ theory lives rent free in my mind and i love that so much for me

[lizzzzoo]

[snarfettelove]

Only this fandom could make Robert’s prison arrangements into a research topic. I love you all.

[rememberingthesugden-dingles]

Oh yeah cause that’s what you do isn’t it? Take the blame. Makes you feel good doesn’t it? No. No no I think it does, playing the martyr, I mean that’s why you cut yourself isn’t it? You get off on it, all this suffering. 

Ok so here you have Aaron and Robert who are both drowning in guilt in the wake of Katie’s death, they’re both visibly struggling with it all, neither of them is coping

They have one common enemy here: guilt. But what’s fascinating is the contrast between the way they’re handling it.

On the one hand you have Robert, who is absolutely feeling the guilt but who pushes it away to keep going. At times you can tell he wants to break but he can’t afford to. He takes it and he takes it and he powers through it and he dissociates even if it drives him mad and even if it turns him into something he doesn’t want to be because he’s wired in a way that puts self-preservation above everything else. And guilt? It’s counterproductive to self-preservation.

And on the other hand you have Aaron who takes the guilt, even more than he has to and he is consumed by it. He feels it and he feels it too much. So much so that he has to tell the truth, he has to do the right thing even if it hurts him because he can’t handle the guilt. And not only is he being righteous about it but he’s hurting himself with it, he punishes himself for it. He allows guilt to destroy him.

Aaron and guilt are one whereas Robert will dissociate so as not to feel the guilt.

On one side you have self-preservation and on the other you have self-destruction. These two things are so powerfully opposite and Robert is aware of that and in that scene, you could say that he’s being cruel (and he is because that’s how Robert handles most things that hurt) but it’s more than that to me. I see it as Robert being fundamentally unable to understand the way that Aaron functions. He cannot understand how or why he would do such a thing, why he’d let it consume him. It goes against everything in him. He seems angry at Aaron for it and I would argue that part of that anger is jealousy. Like he’s jealous of Aaron for being able to let himself feel it instead of deflecting it. Like he’s mad at himself for not being a good enough person to accept the negative emotion and do the right thing about it and he’s mad at Aaron for being that person. (On top of being angry because of the consequences that Aaron’s righteousness may have in this context)

“Poor tragic little messed-up Aaron”: I can also hear jealousy and bitterness here in the way he says it. That Aaron gets to let his pain out, that his pain is recognised in a way when he [Robert] won’t allow himself anything other than keeping a lid on his.

Argh I love how these two are both fire and gasoline and fire and ice!!

This blessed content oh my GOD

[bobbie-robron]

I’ve seen it firsthand. It was the same with Andy. He took Katie and there was nothing I could do about it.

For the wonderful @aarobron, happy birthday Lucy. ♥

Underrated moment from the affair era: the way Robert said “stupid interfering bitch” before he wanted to stone Chas 

[babygirlgalitzine]

If only Liv had gone to Robert with her suspicions, we could’ve gotten the two of them playing detective, hiding in bushes, using code names, idk. The sky’s the limit and I will mourn what could have been

smh why did emmerdale let us down
