It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune (Mr. Fell), must be in want of a wife (Crowley).
Oh Jane, you bitch. You smartass. You met both of them. You were kinda friends. And you just knew, didn't you.

Arms I made up for Jane Roland (and later Emily’s) Ducal House. Roland’s titles are never mentioned in the books, but I have her created Duchess of Carmarthen. Carmarthen was a major center in Wales prior to industrialization. It is meant something of an insult from the government because the Welsh are icky, just like women and aviators. The Rolands, naturally, do not care one bit and rather take a liking to the place. Most estates they are awarded are in England, however. They do not currently have a seat because they have dragons to fly. Might get some subsidiary titles (maybe something named for Scotland near Loch Laggan) so that Emily can be a Countess.
The dragon is not a perfect longwings, but it is blue, and holding a grenade to symbolize the guns and bombs. Four yellow stripes on green for an Admiral of the Air. Golden Laurels for Victory. A ducal coronet above. Jane is extremely mad that the College of Arms said she couldn’t swear in her motto, and refuses to use Latin or French until someone suggests “Excidium.” The dragon himself is quite pleased with this, although wishes his portrait was better. But the poor College of Arms people are already so sad about his hastily put together arms that Jane just left it.

HEAR ME OUT!
Duke as Aragon
JD as Boleyn
Martha as Seymour
Chandler as Cleves
McNamara as Howard
Veronica as Parr
I originally saw Chandler as Aragon but then again, Candy Store is a song so...Cleves.
Imagine JD singing "Why hasn't it hit her? She doesn't wanna bang you, somebody hang you" to Chandler (or to all three Heathers if poly) about Veronica.
Then Veronica just goes "I don't need your love no~" to JD.
McNamara singing All You Wanna Do makes a lot of sense.
Duke as Aragon makes sense come on.
Martha as Seymour. That's it.
🎵And when I say you're the only one I truly loved I mean those words truthfully 🎵
Martha WOULD
Veronica just fits Parr and it's not just because of the color scheme.

What if in some universe, another identity, miss Holloway was a librarian?
As a librarian, I know a lot about people in my town - what people read tells you a lot about them. I know who's unhappy with their partner, I know who's children struggle with their mental health, I know all of the gossip of the old ladies.
Miss Holloway could spy on the citizens pretty easily- she would organise the library in a way that books about the paranormal would be just in her line of sight. If someone would come to the library for information, she would be there to help.
Jane used to come a lot, taking one or two books for herself ans some books for tim. Tom was pretty lost the first time he took Tim to the library, but after a while he started to look at some books himself.
The nerds, of course, are always there. Pete took Steph to see the library once. She took a comics and almost forgot to bring it back. Grace is... Grace. No smut in the library.
Linda is there with her blonde boys, despising every second of it. River is just trying to read and his brothers won't let him.
Becky used to come all the time, reading every romance book, but for a long time, she arrived once a year, apologising for returning the books so late and not staying fir more than two minutes. After her husband "left her", she came back to reading regularly.
Charlotte is one of the sweet religious woman that reads the most erotic shit you've seen. I see so much of them.
Bill is reading emotional and inspirational books, and lately he took some books about parenting. Sometimes he runs into Sylvia, who's reading sweet romance books.
Mr Davidson took every erotic book he could find.
Zoey tried reading les mis, got bored and never returned it.
Young ted took books about flirting.
Alice and deb go on dates in the library. I saw a straight couple do it once, it's adorable. Alice and Deb are both fandom trash, convince me otherwise.
Frank is not taking tons of books, but he trusts miss Holloway's recommendations and is almost never disappointed. He's never late. He can't afford that.
Sometimes, when the library is closed, wiley is there, switching the order of the books and turning them so you can't see the binding like a fucking monster.
Maybe she met duke while he looked for psychology books.
Hannah comes to the library every day, she's reading fantasy books in the corner and stays until closing time. Lex was worried about this, she didn't know you didn't have to pay for the library. Miss Holloway notices every lonely kid reading alone. She talks to Hannah. Maybe when Hannah is older she gets a job at the library too.
Credits to the Israeli starkid group for some of the ideas, and to my boss for casually admitting she's a witch.

12th February
The Execution of Lady Jane Grey
Tumblr media
The Execution of Lady Jane Grey by Paul Delaroche (1833). Source: The National Gallery website.
On this day in 1554, Lady Jane Grey was executed. The shortest reigning English monarch and probably the most tragic, Lady Jane had the misfortune to have a technical claim to the throne, a wicked father-in-law and to be a Protestant when the rightful heir to the deceased King Edward VI was his sister, Mary, a Roman Catholic. The Duke of Northumberland, one of the leaders of the Calvinist faction who had dominated the court of King Edward and pushed the English Reformation much further than had ever been intended by its originator, King Henry VIII, was determined that England should not revert to Catholicism under Henry’s daughter, Mary. Northumberland cannily married his son to Lady Jane on whom Protestant hopes rested, had her crowned queen and ordered the arrest of Mary. Unfortunately for the coup plotters, most of the country rallied to Mary and within nine days it was Jane and her father-in-law who were under arrest. There is little evidence that the seventeen-year old girl was anything other than a hapless pawn of Northumberland’s ambition, but this did not save her from Queen Mary’s vengeance or the headsman’s axe.
Perhaps the injustice of Jane’s fate explains her glowing white apparition which will appear, hovering above the ground, at the Tower of London today.

Okay getting a regency era edition of Debrett’s Peerage has been a terrific decision. They really did read you for filth for everyone to see.
Are you the 12th Duke of Norfolk? You bet you are buddy. Did you get married at 24? Did have your marriage dissolved by parliament two years after your heir was born? You bet. She sure did get remarried like IMMEDIATLY didn’t she. Weird! But look at the name and title of her new husband and the date of her second marriage. So quick.
And you haven’t gotten remarried. Not even for a spare for your one male child? Weird. *cough* gay *cough*
It’s like a two volume regency romance writing prompt generator and I love it.
