Why must i “do things” and “have a life” instead of reading fic
Fics have better plots, better time management, unlimited resources and happy endings. Life, has not.
Fics = 100. Life = 0

THEE FUCKKKKK IS THIS CARNIVAL ROLLERCOASTER DATE IN 2x4
WhAT EVEN IS THIS!??!???
#they literally go on a little date to the fucking theme park and walk around the pier arm-in-arm #(and probably hold fucking hands when the coaster goes over the big drop. jack didn’t mean to he swears. it just caught him off guard) #and then have the NERVE. the AUDACITY. to try and say they’re not in love
@ellascinders your tags reminded me I meant to get screencaps for @pools-of-venetianblue because they DO hold hands
and Jack is apparently the one who initiated it
you can’t see them holding hands the rest of the ride, but you also can’t see
both of their hands
ppl kept saying they were holding hands on this ride and i was, like, WHERE? also v much liking that’s it jack who wants to hold hands the sentimental romantic softly-passionate sweetheart

Stunning!
Talking with an uninitiated friend about Miss Fisher, trying to explain the awesomeness she embodies and the only way I found to describe every detail of her iconic kimono was resurrecting this post.
I finally had some free time due to ✨carnival✨ and deployed the Miss Fisher visualization site that I had only posted screenshots of so you guys can play around with them. I really enjoy seeing them in motion and I hope that you do too! 😊
Some tips of how to use the site:
There are some new visualizations there that I never posted before, so please check it out! I would love your feedback!
Nathan Page & Essie Davis - ☀️🌙 Work Besties
- “The love for Phryne Fisher and her relationship with Detective Inspector Jack Robinson is kind of mind-blowingly profound. Nathan (Page) and I were treated almost like The Beatles and the kind of joy that we have created in a lot of people’s lives is really a phenomenon.” - Essie Davis
- “I think that with the rich and honest relationship that Nathan and I have built between Jack and Phryne, we have created a fantastic, lose-yourself-in-it experience.” - Essie Davis
- “[On what originally attracted him to playing the role of Jack] A number of things. I think the number one reason would be to work alongside Essie. I've worked with Essie before on stage. We did the Scottish play together at the state theater in South Australia many years ago - and ironically her husband Justin Kurzel just directed a Macbeth feature film with Michael Fassbender! - but yeah, Essie was probably number one. In the audition process, you don’t always know who’s up for what, and of prime importance is getting your casting right in order to get the chemistry right. So, because I knew Ess, when we did the final audition it was… I don’t wanna say ‘perfect’, but it was a breeze because we’re just… naughty together. And so there’s that natural chemistry. She’s an incredibly naughty, vibrant human and I’m… easily led, I guess. [laughs]” - Nathan Page
- “We had Essie and Nathan back together again doing Jack and Phryne and they just got back on that horse like they'd never left it. Their banter is great and watching them relate, you can see they really are the heart of the film. It was great having them and that chemistry back.” - Deb Cox, writer for “Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries” & “Crypt of Tears”
- “We always cannot stop laughing when we are together. No matter how frustrating or hard working we all had to be, it was always filled with love, joy and silliness.” - Essie Davis
- “It was pretty easy because I get to work with Essie Davis, there are no problems we love each other wonderfully so it’s so easy.” - Nathan Page
- “It’s amazing how well I feel like I know Phryne and in the creation of this, it was just a joy to step back into her shoes, and to have the delightful Nathan Page to play with…” - Essie Davis
- “I think for me personally, you whack on one of those twenties, three-piece suits, and it already corrects your posture somewhat, but the actual play that I get to do with this one [Essie] is, that’s all the joy, that’s all the gold, all the fun. And that just comes… naturally.” - Nathan Page

MAGICAL GIRL TRANSFORMATIONS DON'T HAPPEN IN REAL TIME YOU FREAKING IDIOTS.
I am so sick and tired of people asking "So THe viLlaIns JusT wAIt For THeM tO FiNiSH????" or trying to come up with a super complex answer as to how it works, when there's there's the simple (and very logical) explanation that they're actually super quick. Do you think that when we get super long flashbacks the characters just stand there staring at nothing until the flashback ends??? NO OF COURSE NOT. THAT'S STUPID.
The sequence is there to represents how it feels to transform and look pretty. AND I'M TIRED OF SEEING PEOPLE NOT REALIZE THIS. DID YOU NEVER WATCHED POWER RANGERS AS KIDS???
passages that make you whisper "oh my god"
This came around again and it’s so worth a reblog. If I have done nothing else in this fandom, at least I helped inspire @hello-beaniebeanie to this :D
I’m sure I’ve read someone refer to these two as the reigning champions of televised eye-fucking.
How this series isn’t Grated is simply beyond me 😉💥🔥❤️🔥

In the same vein:
"The simultaneous borrowing of French and Latin words led to a highly distinctive feature of modern English vocabulary: sets of three items, all expressing the same fundamental notion but differing slightly in meaning or style, e.g., kingly, royal, regal; rise, mount, ascend; ask, question, interrogate; fast, firm, secure; holy, sacred, consecrated. The Old English word (the first in each triplet) is the most colloquial, the French (the second) is more literary, and the Latin word (the last) more learned." (Howard Jackson and Etienne Zé Amvela, "Words, Meaning and Vocabulary: An Introduction to Modern English Lexicology." Continuum, 2000)

Though I like how John McWhorter phrases it better:
But language tends not to do what we want it to. The die was cast: English had thousands of new words competing with native English words for the same things. One result was triplets allowing us to express ideas with varying degrees of formality. Help is English, aid is French, assist is Latin. Or, kingly is English, royal is French, regal is Latin – note how one imagines posture improving with each level: kingly sounds almost mocking, regal is straight-backed like a throne, royal is somewhere in the middle, a worthy but fallible monarch.
Sounds like the best realistic plan, tbh.

This is so accurate Jack Robinson could have written it.
