hot take but i Love fanny actually. find it really weird that a lot of people choose to hate her more than say, julian, a casually homophobic and misogynistic war criminal who was around in the 90s and was entirely able to unlearn his bigotry, a character who still refuses to unlearn his bigotry (see: him expecting alison to perform femininity in the way he wants her to). meanwhile fanny is an edwardian woman who was raised with insane expectations and standards, in a much less progressive society and during like. one of the most notorious periods of stiff-upper-lip conservatism and repression blah blah blah in britain. and her husband was gay and she had repressed that for like a century in her afterlife before mentioning it to anyone?? but then when she finally does, she begins to go on this amazing journey of acceptance and personal growth. idk i love to wax poetic about fanny’s arc but i really do think it’s so powerful to see her recognising that not only would the man she loved have been happier without those traditional values but she would too. she unlearnt what she was taught about queerness in her life and she literally!! watches sam and clare dancing together with an almost unbearable fondness. all in one episode. it’s so good. it’s so well done. fanny recognised the universally harmful nature of the values and beliefs she’d been upholding and she immediately ditched them?? idk man you guys slander her way too much, or you say she’s justified in her homophobia bcs a gay man killed her. begging you to use some common sense besties

#this is incoherent but im putting it out there anyways #hashtag speaking my truth #fanny is great. love love love her #do i believe in the queer fanny agenda?? yeah yeah i do actually #i don’t. i mean she might be a lesbian idk i could see her being a lesbian but at the same time. i couldnt #idk idc !!!!!! love everyone talking about queer fanny tho it’s good stuff #anyways yeah just seeing loads of ppl say they hate fanny more than julian and it’s like #oh worm the absolutely hilarious edwardian lady who is unlearning a lifetime of homophobia internalised misogyny and repression????? #we’re gonna shit on her over the ?? bigoted war criminal who is proud to be a bigoted war criminal???????? #ok then #shut up daisy #bbc ghosts #fanny button
