Daily affirmations. Blond men are the devil's emissaries. Blond men will not enter the kingdom of heaven at their deaths nor will they sing with the rest of god's creatures in his choir. Blond men are a scourge upon this earth and all who consider themselves righteous and holy are bound by honor to hunt them to extinction

reflecting on seasons 3 and 4 of slow horses and i'd like to take a moment to appreciate how At Her Fucking Limit louisa guy is and for good reason. local woman who is isolated and very much alone and has just risked connecting with another person only to have that person brutally murdered now risks connecting with SECOND person only for that person to turn out to be god's least favourite court jester who keeps trying to also die on her. please give this poor lady two minutes of peace.

I really, truly think that they should have kept Spider in the show, grievously injuring/potentially killing him each and every season, only for him to be back, perfectly fine in the next one, with minimal , if any, explanation. A running joke that he cannot be killed.

Frank Harkness. A character study.

“Friends wasn’t the word—it was both too big and too small. A friend was someone you’d go for a drink with; hang out with; share laughs. He’d done those things with Spider, but not because Spider was his first choice for doing them with;”

“more because he’d spent days with Spider doing assault courses on Dartmoor, which had felt like it was going to be the most difficult part of training, until the days spent learning torture resistance techniques somewhere on the Welsh borders.”

“Resistance techniques were taught slowly. Things had to be broken down before being built up again. Breaking down happened best in darkness. When you’d been through that, you wanted to be near others who’d been through it too. ”

“Not because you needed to talk about it, but because you needed your need not to talk about it to be shared by those you were with.”

Additional thoughts on River Cartwright's luck and general unhappiness.

(It would probably be a good idea to stop making text posts and go back to writing, but I just can't help myself—he's such an adorable trouble magnet.)

Two years ago, Louisa Guy royally screwed up a tail job which resulted in dangerous weapons being released on the streets. Suddenly, there’s a chance at redemption she’ll begrudgingly accept, if only to distract herself from her ongoing grief. Also grieving? River Cartwright. Newly shaken by revelations about his family history, he is approached by Second Desk with a dubious deal concerning an old “friend”. But if you ask Shirley Dander, nobody’s worse off than her, especially after the loss of her only friend in Slough House. Last but not least, a newly resurrected James Webb has gained a second (or third?) lease on life and a reluctant career as archivist, leading him to cross paths with the Slow Horses in ways that might alter their lives, for better or for worse. Four people, four ways to grief, only one way the story can end.
