The world is not real: Charlotte cannot touch it. This -news-, this tragedy  is not real either, and it cannot touch her. There’s too much cotton in her ears, there’s an endless, keening chime slowly boring through her skull- in at one temple, out at the other- a continuous line, all the way through…

She is sitting on the sofa. There’s a cup and saucer cradled in her hands. She doesn’t remember picking it up, but the steam is ghosting over her face. It’s fresh. (Her husband is dead). Polly must have given it to her. (Her husband died at his own hand.) They have a visitor, she ought to be showing more hospitality. She wonders if there’s any of that fruitcake left. (Alfred confessed to murder. Alfred confessed to murder,  and then Alfred murdered himself)

“Mama?”

Polly’s voice, soft and tentative as it is, makes her jump. Tea sloshes, spills over, pools in the delicate saucer. She shakes herself and focuses her gaze on Sir Julian. “That’s not,” she tries, but the sound barely forms. Charlotte pauses, swallows, tries again. “That’s not right,” she says, unsure if she’s really addressing Sir Julian Harker or merely facing his direction whilst trying to bargain with a Higher Power. “That’s not- none of this is right, Alfred wouldn’t- he wouldn’t do any of it, any of this…” But he has. He has, he has, he has, and when he comes home she’s going to skin him alive. “What will we do?” she asks, as the first beginnings of fear worm their way through the numbness of shock. “The disgrace of it-”

“Mama!” Polly cries, indignant. “At this moment, of all moments, your thoughts cannot be of what other people will think- what does that matter, what do any of them matter!”

It matters because they have never been reckless with money, but savings will not last forever and Charlotte doesn’t know if the widows of Police Inspectors who confess to capital offences and then take their own lives qualify for any sort of pension. It matters because the disapprobation of society in any circumstances can be death by a thousand cuts, whereas the widow who has the sympathies of her community has a better chance at maintaining a somewhat genteel situation. It matters because the infamy of the father will cast a shadow over the life and the character of the daughter- the best chance for Polly, now, is marriage, but what respectable, decent man would want a father- in- law six feet deep in unconsecrated ground?

“Mrs Hillinghead,” Sir Julian says solemnly, “I wish to assure you that you and your daughter will have the fullness of my protection. The events of the last twenty four hours- they will not reflect on you, nor on your daughter. You have my word.”

She acknowledges his words without really understanding- it will not be until much later, lying in a too-empty bed and staring up at the ceiling, unable to sleep- that Charlotte will consider that Harker told Polly about Alfred’s death before he told her, that he stood as close to Polly’s chair as proprietary allows for, that he has seemed- these past few weeks- to admire Polly: her beauty, her music. And perhaps nothing will come of it but friendship- , but the friendship of a man that powerful is not an asset to be scorned. And if it turns into anything more…

They were nineteen, she and Alfred, when they married- they had been friends their whole lives before that. And she had known about him:  years before they had married, she had known that  his desires steered his eyes not towards the ranks of giggling, frivolous girls who batted their eyelashes at his well built figure and handsome face, but to other members of his own sex. And she had ignored it, because she knew him: he was too good a man to act on those desires. And he was kind, and gentle, and they were friends, and a husband who would be perfectly happy to conduct a marriage with minimal activity in the matrimonial bed suited Charlotte. She had courted him as much as he had courted her, really, although whether he ever realised that…

And he’s dead. Her best friend of nearly forty years. The murder confession, she has already written off- she neither knows nor cares about the details. If it was a false confession, then he confessed to try and protect someone- probably that journalist, given the confession it prompted to her, and she is furious at him. She is furious at him for not protecting his wife and child, and for not letting the journalist face whatever justice he merited- unless, of course, the man threatened to reveal Alfred’s inclinations, and take the Inspector who had detected his crimes down along with him. That seems, to Charlotte, the most likely explanation. And if the confession is- was- true, then Alfred must have had good reason for taking another man’s life: she has seen him carry spiders in the palm of his hand to release them outside, rather than squash them underfoot; she has listened to him vent his frustrations about officers being too heavy handed with their arrests at more dinners than she can remember. Taking another human life…it must have broken something in his mind, which would explain being in such a state that he would…. It does not matter. Alfred is dead, either way- she is a widow, either way. And she will encourage Julian Harker’s friendship, because if Polly can catch him she will have a comfortable home, and a husband who seems a good hearted and generous man. And she, Charlotte, will grieve Alfred Hillinghead. But if his death unravels into the scandal she fears, then she will take care to grieve him quietly. She will survive this. She has to. She has to survive this so that there’s someone who remembers that Alfred Hillinghead played cricket as a boy and took two sugars in his tea.

nail colours they like on you

characters - jean, levi, eren, connie, armin, erwin

a/n - I was thinking about what colours would make jean drop to his knees and then suddenly I was thinking about everyone else too....

jean - RED !!! He loves red nails on you so much, any dark shade of red will literally have him on his knees, he thinks it's so so hot. I have no idea why but I'm so obsessed with the idea of Jean asking you to get red nails the next time you get them done. And he does it weeks before your appointment too. He doesn't even wait for you to ask him what he thinks you should get, he tells you, completely unprompted, when the two of you are lying together on the couch, huddled up watching a movie. He has been completely checked out of the movie, too focused on trying to find the words to bring up your nail appointment and he just whispers in your ear out of the blue.

“babeeee, I know you're getting your nails done soon…I was just thinking that you'd look extra hot with red nails, maybe a maroon shade? or something similar to that? a dark shade, what do you think?”

levi - black. I'm sorry if you feel like this is a basic answer but I can't see levi caring too much about any particular colours, he will always compliment your nails no matter the colour, of course, but if you straight up ask him what he thinks you should get he will always say black. No matter if he's said in the past that a different colour looks amazing on you, or that a different colour suits you the best. He will say black. He thinks it's sexy, and it looks sleek and doesn't stand out too much and I think it's very him.

“tch—you know you don't need to spend your money on that shit. But if you insist on getting them done then at least let me pay—What colour do I think you should get? Black, obviously.”

eren - multi coloured. Eren loves when you get multiple different colours on your nails. His favourite is when you get a different colour on every finger, and he loves when your two hands match each other—the same coloured nails mirrored on each hand. He's never too bothered by the actual specific colours you choose, sometimes he'll suggest a particular colour palette or a specific colour and you'll get 5 different shades of one colour, but generally I think he just likes the variety.

“Yeah, baby? You're getting your nails done soon? Hmm… How about different shades of blue this time? Yk how much I love blue. You could start with a lighter shade on your pinky and then work towards a darker shade like midnight blue, or sapphire on your thumb?”

connie - yellow/gold. This one just makes sense to me and I have no idea why. I think that Connie latched onto this colour after you mentioned one night that you could match your nails to his eye colour, and he just hasn't let go ever since. It made him feel so cutesy and shy when you suggested that, and whenever he sees you in any shade of yellow/gold it makes him blush like crazy. Even though his eyes are more of a hazel colour, he's definitely been told his eyes are quite yellowy/gold before, and it used to make him feel embarrassed but ever since the first time you mentioned wanting to match your nails to his eyes he's been so happy and proud about the colour.

“baby you already know what I'm gonna sayyyy, just look right into my eyes and you'll see the perfect colour for your nails, trust me. And you know I think you look so sexy with your nails done, so if we matched I think I would just about die every time I looked at ya.”

armin - baby blue. It just screams Armin and I can't even explain why. He thinks it's the cutest thing ever, and he remembers when it was a trend online to ask your boyfriend what colour you should get your nails done and he remembers that the “correct” answer was baby blue. You asked him this when it was trending and he couldn't give you a straight answer, just saying that all colours looked pretty on you. He remembers when you teased him and explained that baby blue meant that you were taken/in a relationship and so that has always been his answer ever since. And it doesn't hurt that the colour looks so good on you as well…

“you're getting your nails done again soon, bubba? hmm… I think you'd look amazing with the baby blue nails—the ones you had on our anniversary this year, they were so cute!”

erwin - pink. Again, I have no explanation for this one, I just know it's true. He doesn't mind what shade of pink you choose, although his favourite is one of the brighter pinks—think Barbie or hot pink—he loves these types of shades during summer, or when you're getting your nails done for a party. But he'll never complain about any shade you choose, he just likes to point you towards pink as a general colour, he'll always let you choose the specific shade.

“How about pink, sweetheart? Would you like a more muted shade this time? I think that'd be lovely. A pastel, or maybe even a salmon shade, would look beautiful on you."

#this was fun #jean levi i love u #eren i love u #eren seems like the type of guy that would secretly know alot about nail care and general beauty care and one day he surprises you by #giving you some advice and you're like holy shit .... hes a genius #and then you bug him for advice all the time #and it makes him feel super happy and prideful #anyways #aot x reader #aot headcanons #aot fluff #aot fic

i love wyll but he does say. remarkably stupid things sometimes

#ignore my rotten food habit #anyway i mean immature as in like. the nicest use of the phrase he strikes me as not quite getting the subtext in what halsin said #actually now that i think of it his sort of childish heroic idealism is what got him in deep shit in the first place #do they have canon ages? i know astarion was 39 before turning #i wouldnt be surprised if wyll and shadowheart were the youngest #also i mean all this as a compliment i like this part of his character #i like that they all have their strengths and their flaws. some more flawed than others like uh. well #i think what i mean is i like that wyll seems so far a genuinely happy dude who is still complex and flawed and reads people badly #though i may eat these words when i progress his quest more. off to moonrise #kind of annoyed i did reithwin without halsin now though since it seems like hed have had a lot of relevant commentary on the thorms #no more reblogging.

me @ Disney: make Smelly Gabe a sculpture or Mickey fucking gets it

#funny because Mickey and Minnie will soon be public domain #i really hate the way gabe just. sounds impressed when percy says he got expelled for assaulting a classmate #i've rewatched too many times and every single time #i notice something that makes gabe seem more and more shitty #i wonder if disney will actually go through with his abusive step father arc #because disney is too weak to actually show impactful storylines #i'll be mad if they don't because it's so important #also you might've seen a post similar to this before and that's because i deleted that one #wasn't happy with it #i was among the people who were surprised at the changes in gabe's character #i just thought he was pathetic and wasn't sure if the statue-ification in the finale would work then because he was different from the book #but you can see how unhappy percy is to be returning home because he knows he'll have to see gabe too #and i'm glad there's so many posts on here talking about how his character is still an asshat #because him not reacting much to percy sassing him out blindsided me #honestly grateful to those posts because they really do put things in a new light #ok i'll stop being annoying in the tags now #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo tv show #pjo tv spoilers #isoceratops

oh waaaaah jjk sucks because my fave died!! okay then go back to children’s shows or something where no one ever dies at all.

since the beginning of the series it was established that being a sorcerer was incredibly dangerous and ended with most sorcerers having short lives. it’s one of the first things discussed by the characters.

it’s a dark series and that means people will die. “people dying = bad and predictable writing!!!” it’s a fantasy series and you aren’t the one fucking writing it. it’s not even complete and you don’t actually even know who’s dead or not or who will actually stay dead. they haven’t even fully revealed what yuuji’s team’s plan is yet.

like…if you don’t like that then take your ass back to bnha or grow tf up.

#jjk spoilers #jjk #gojo satoru #literally mean it mostly about him #i like him but he’s the strongest. there’s not much to build on for his character at all #either he actually wasn’t but needed to believe that he was #or he’s not actually dead yet #‘oh it got so shitty and bad after the shibuya arc’ #then stop reading it. #they established from the BEGINNING that people are going to die #if their deaths seem sudden and surprising then that’s GOOD WRITING #plots shouldn’t be predictable all the time #it’s like just because you don’t like something means it’s inherently bad #you guys have got to respect that media is meant to be diverse and that is does not have to be happy or make you happy in order to be good #please stop hating fr you guys already fucking ruined bnha bc of it #bnha spoilers #kind of #that’s a series i put down and walked away from because it’s pretty obvious the author wanted to kill off bakugou #but him being a ‘fan favorite’ prevented that choice #as a result the story is a mess and the plot had potential but now it’s just gonna fall flat

[six-demon-bag]

finally found a bed the dog likes more than the floor! so different from our last dog who liked giant piles of fluffy things

#he favored the thin rug over the fluffy things #finally found a thin dog bed and put a piece of fleece over it and now he is happy #like it was very challenging to find a simple enough bed for this anti-diva #sixdemon nonsense #also i feel like I should have seen more gifs from Lila Lila on here?? #maybe it’s not such a popular movie to gif #or maybe tumblr search messed up #that’s probably likely regardless #or maybe it’s the way everyone seems to favor the little grids for this one idk #idk shit honestly i was just surprised it had like the same amount as zookeeper #he’s just such a baby face again some more like always #tbf it is a little unusual for him to do a romcom so maybe that’s part of it #all of the sets are quite lovely and I appreciate them #the tag was just surprisingly sparse in general #though tbf I didn’t get much blorbo energy from him in this one

[kaeyachi]

i just had a thought

but gosh i genuinely GENUINELY hope that Kaeya knows what his mission is and his purpose or whatever endgame stuff he has to do (whether big or small)

because y'all know what the alternative is? It's him fabricating details or him using a misunderstanding, and consequently telling Diluc just to get Diluc to attack him as a form of self punishment.

Their fight would have been for nothing other than to satiate Kaeya's need to get hurt.

add in the fact that i kinda think that all "misfortunes" Kaeya is facing is of his own choice? well...

He better know his purpose or I'm storming HYV headquarters.

#kaeya #kaeya alberich #yeah i cant write anything other than angst lmao #i do have happy ones though! #like that damn kaeya and the beach HCs that i still havent finished >:^( #im here back at it again with the kaeyangst #but no seriously mans felt guilty about being relieved crepus died and just what? decided he should get hit with a flaming Phoenix? #HE MUST HAVE AN IDEA BECAUSE IF HE IS CLUELESS THEN AYO SEND THIS MAN TO THERAPY THIS INSTANT #though the fact that he seems to be asking questions backhandedly kinda worry me babes #Kaeya's dad leaving Kaeya at mond: That's a surprise tool that can help us later #miska muska mickey ough #BUT YEAH I THINK HE KNOWS BUT JUST LACKS CONTEXT #OTHERWISE THIS IS AN ANGSTFEST #tbh this isnt the planned one from yesterday either oop

i know me and my friends tend to joke a lot over how red is (hc) huge and how hes basically caked up and down 😭😭but that genuinely comforts me because i can hug someone and feel super warm and comfy (aka chest lol) but i mean this in the most wholesome way i promise asdkaldkadjak <3333🥺

#youll get an eepy appleshipping art one day and you'll understand where im coming from #~ rambling #~ lovemail #this is me responding to that poll btw HEAUEHUAHA my main answer is still shoulders #back then i dont hug people (out of shyness) and in my last school hugging always was immediately recognized to be /rom so i rarely hug #but when i switched schools everyone seemed to recognize platonic friendship better than the last and i remember being hugged by a taller- #classmate of mine when i greeted him a happy birthday and i was immediately surprised over two things #1) he hugged me (which again - was rare for me because of last school influence) and then 2) his hug was super... warm and #i just liked it a whole lot - and given his broad shoulders its like i was hugging a big bear HAKHSAJFHAFHJSAF so yeah thats why i like the #i wanted to experience that again so i always find myself hugging my peers (doesnt matter who. i loved the warmth) and i always get excited #i have a classmate rn who im super close to and we always hug it out and it comforts me a whole lot (while also simulating that goofy feeli #of... omg (f/o) hugging me eeek LOL SORRYA DJASSJKFHSKFJFHAHKF😭😭😭😭 #thats why i always appreciate seeing red a little bigger than his actual model because i always get reminded of that moment #yea <3 #red.rom

[mishy-mashy]

Just really like Groovy Gumlet

Other than the fact his name is that and he's cute with an outie, he just cares a lot and is actually very personable and isn't so prideful to not admit when he needs help

In the EX Novel 4, he got angry with the knights because he thought they killed Balleroy, and wasn't afraid to admit Balleroy was one of his friends. He, along the lines of this, goes "F*** you, you're worried for your friend? How do you think I feel when you killed one of mine?!"

He befriended Moguro after accidentally thinking he was an inanimate hunk of metal, and doesn't mind his mechanical way of talk ("Groovy, run, outmatched." for example, to say they should run, and he probably won't misunderstand it)

In arc 8, when he's cornered and about to die from not eating or drinking anything for days, one of his worries is if any of his subordinates survived. He hoped it'd be the case. And this was in the middle of being surrounded by a bunch of zombies, so it lagged his reaction

"At the very least, it'd be nice if some of his subordinates survived." Or something along those lines

And right before that, he thought of his second-in-command. I was thinking that Groovy feels lonely without anyone, fending for himself like this. Even if his circumstances suck, it'd be better if he had someone on his side

Plus, he's a hyena demihuman. Hyenas are extremely social animals, and have complex hierarchies, so him being a general with his own army is just perfect for him

He's not afraid of stating his opinions of people, like when he said Balleroy was a bit flashy and too friendly, but still a good guy

And he goes to Chisha for help in dealing with Cecilus, just to complain and scream on his couch

And he's an optimist! He hopes Chisha can control Cecilus, he hopes he and Moguro can handle Reinhard if they get some help, the entire time he's being chased, he's hoping for other things like a breather and food.. that sounds more like desperation, but it's also narrated as a

"small breather would be somewhat helpful.

Having faith in that, he ran, ran, and ran――"

He's clinging to nice little things, even as he's being chased, because wouldn't that be nice to have?

When he smelled living people, he really ran in shouting and hoping for their help to fend off the zombies together too. But before he did, he was afraid of dragging them into his problems, because even in his pushed-to-the-brink state, he didn't want to endanger anyone.

He didn't think of using them as a diversion or anything. He's actually really nice.

If the life he smelled could fight, he'd hope for assistance, and if not, maybe he could get something in his system with the smallest reprieve. He didn't think that the people would be dangerous to him, or attack him immediately; which they did.

And when he just got two drunkards, he got angry because why are they doing this? Why are they the only ones alive now, and they're like this? But angry as he was, and exhausted, he still only passed out when in the company of others. Maybe it was from the long strain, or he finally relaxed even a little bit to be around others (even if those "others" contemplated killing him)

#i was surprised that groovy finally appeared in arc 8 (was speeding through not even skimming) #honestly made me so happy #and he ran into THOSE TWO #hed be great with heinkel #arc 8 #spoilers #just blunt and crude but he knows whats necessary and knows what its like to have friends #and also is a general with his own army so. he knows how to resolve conflicts beyond fighting #looking back at this i wrote this at midnight while trying not to sleep knowing i have to be up early #but i think i was onto something #but also talking about groovy is just nice #i like him a lot #seems like hed be a fun friend #groovy gumlet #heinkel astrea #rowan segmunt #rezero #re zero #re:zero #my thoughts

SHE'S BEAUTIFULLLL

#exactly what i was picturing in my head #so the story with this house is back in the 50s when benicio and dominique were moving to america dominique was not happy about it at all #(they were just married and jacques's not born yet) #so to shut her up benicio had this HUGE 'french' mansion built for them before they got there and he was keeping it a surprise #(it's like not french at all) #they arrive dominique sees this incredible house the most beautiful building for miles. and she turns to benicio and says 'what is this.' #so she hated this house she always found problems to tell benicio about. but jacques was born (literally) and raised here and owns it now #(kinda seems like you should feel bad for benicio here. you shouldn't) #dominique gave it to jacques after benicio died saying she despises it he should just take it #then when jacques got engaged and dominique hated her it was 'you're going to let that WOMAN live in our beautiful home????????????' #she's the fucking worst i love her #this is the fall: extras

I love having a dedicated and aware dream alter like sometimes I just wake up with memories of a new superpower this dude's been at it for nearly two decades and still learns new tricks like last night he unlocked walking on air, which might not seem like much for a guy who can already fly in multiple ways, but the thing is walking on air, it turns out, is just a lot easier when it comes to things like taking off from ledges. But like it's like I'm just waking up Matrix style "I know kung fu" but it's instead of martial arts I'm just learning new superpowers that I don't actually have. Whatever they did that in the Matrix too.

#sfw #personal #ok to reblog #Teeth dream #less happy note is that the same dream reminded me how lonely he is in there. everyone he meets is an NPC. #he met mom in the dream and for a moment she seemed like a full person and he actually for once CHOSE to interact with an NPC #(dreams often have scripts he has to follow and thus he's forced to deal with them when he just wants to play with his powers) #but the moment didn't last and it became clear again that she was not sentient and he was disappointed but not surprised and he left #but just. for a moment. just one short moment I think he felt like he wasn't alone. he's used to it but damn he shouldn't have to be. #two decades. although I guess total dream time would add up to something closer to one year but idc which count is more accurate. #brain makes him to fight off nightmares and for a long time his reality was always waiting for the right moment to turn on him #he learned quickly that it was no use trying to talk to anyone because there's not really anyone there #the nightmares eventually go away but he's still there. doing nothing but dream. only experiencing the waking world through shared memories. #on rare rare occasions he gets little moments like that where he isn't alone...

[mycological-mariner]

Beautiful thing happened today: the guy doing headshots had these brilliant nautical tattoos and I, a known ship nerd, pointed them out and said I thought they were brilliant. And he launched into how for 12 years he worked on a tall ship at one point as the captain. He got all excited telling me about it and asked if I was working on any ships. I said no, but I’d love to, have wanted to ever since I was a kid; he asks if I know so-and-so, to call him and even just being a passenger will get you credit with skippers. And at this point I’m grinning and laughing and I really want to talk more about sailing and historical stuff with this guy. He goes “Right tilt your head this way, you wanna look warm and approachable yet tough for any skippers!” Probably the best headshots I’ll ever get, those smiles were sincere. Then he recommended me his favourite book - its 700 pages and it’s 300 years of historical fiction called “We, The Drowned” which I’m checking out asap because it sounds brilliant

#I really wanted to know what got him from sailing ships to doing headshots for actors! #like #TELL ME MORE! #this guy was so full of energy too #he seemed happy that someone was interested in his ink! and sailing #he was so cool omg #he was giving me a bunch of advice too!! #I told him I went into stage combat and theatre coz of my epilepsy but my first choice ever since I was a little kid was to be a sailor #a tall ship sailor! captain even! #and he was like fuck yeah you can still do that! if you can do all this stage combat stuff you should be fine getting hired! #he also you could always just not tell them and act surprised if you DO have a seizure - but probably let em know #I was over the MOON! #hes friends with the guy I work with so hopefully I’ll get to meet him again #everyone knows each other here lol #hey take a shot every time I say brilliant #anyways

[saulbaby]

I love how Bob said that the difference between Jimmy and Saul wasn't conning and fast talking. That's all Jimmy, he says, he's been doing that since he was a kid. The difference is that Saul is when he became completely aware of all the consequences and decided not to care.

#better call saul #jimmy mcgill #saul goodman #i think its very interesting bc no scams isnt his lesson #in fact he kinda scams his way to redemption in the most earnest and genuine way imaginable #i just loved that bc i think it really genuinely puts the character in a different perspective #bc hes the same guy. hes flashy and obnoxious and can talk anybody out of anything and that is not the difference between saul and jimmy #kim isnt still on the dark side bc she uses her bar card to get into the prison #jimmys lesson is to look the people you hurt in the eyes and make amends. #his skills are his own but what he chooses to do with them and how he responds to that is whats important #my jimmy.... #i love him #he said it on the podcast and it made me so happy bc the writers seemed surprised too #same when rhea got mad when vince said that kim was mad when ppl tell her jimmys not good for her #rhea was like kims a grown ass woman capable of making her own choices and shes not internally conflicted that other people might be right #nobody needs to save her bc she obviously knows her own relationship better than anybody and she doesnt need ppl telling her whats best #anyway i love them a lot.
