I love my sisters, and my family, but really Lord? You couldn't have given me someone who will watch tv shows with me and add commentary? Someone to talk about a show or a ship incessantly with?

@it-is-bugs tdbm drabbles: Driveway, words: ~300
Sometimes, it was like Charlie had a rope around his waist pulling him back to Ballarat. No matter how far he travelled, or what he did, it was slowly winding tighter and tighter, bringing him closer and closer. He told them he’d come back, but things had been different then. For one, Lucien hadn’t been taking private cases and he hadn’t been fish food in Sydney somewhere.
You know. Allegedly.
Rose had been here. Edward’s death pushed her out of Ballarat for whatever reason. Perhaps it was a final straw for her, not everyone was built for the constant drag of loss that the people of Ballarat pulled behind them like a pair of lead shoes. He hated to admit to missing her because it seemed like she was happy in Queensland.
He didn’t know Peter Crowe, though he’d heard good things about him. He did know Amy Parks because he’d arrested her for possession once, and his opinion of her was...He hated to say his opinion of his friend’s sister was low but he couldn’t very well lie about it. No, he tried to stray away from lies and half-truths these days. It was easier that way. He set his two suitcases on the driveway and turned halfway around to watch the taxi take off from the street around a corner.
“Charlie’s here!”
He turned just in time to be all but crushed in a hug. He had no idea how she got her, she might have flown for all he could see. He must have been distracted, but he’s not so distracted that he can’t hug back. He fit his arms around her and for half a minute buried his face in her shoulder. Jean still smells like the same perfume she used to wear, and her hugs are just as tight. He looked over Jean’s shoulder and saw Lawson on the veranda, leaning on his cane, a slight smile playing on his lips.
So the rope, as it turned out, had been pulling him home.

TDBM 5xTelemovie
We’re about to start, my BFF and I. We’re fine. FINE. Let’s do this.
The look on Jean’s face during Edward’s toast. I LOL’d so hard.
Me: IS THAT EDWARD? S: I think so. It. looks like his... M: Girth? S: I was gonna say rotundness but yes.
Lucien’s aunt looks like a chicken...or maybe a flamingo.
IT IS EDWARD. OH YEAH. That little shit earned his throat slit.
ALICE ISN’T THE POLICE SURGEON? SEXISM.
The house looks like Aunt Prudence’s house.
“Throat’s been cut. “ *Matthew rolls his eyes so hard they almost fall out of his head*
“We’ll discuss it when you get home.” How many wives does Lucien have, exactly?
I am so offended by Alice not being in charge. Not as offended as Alice is - that was an eyeroll that used her entire body.
THAT FUCKER JUST PUSHED ALICE OUT THE WAY. IMMA KILL HIM.
HE CALLED HER MISS HARVEY. THIS GUY IS OFFICIALLY ON MY LIST.
Two words : private investigator.
Matthew defending Alice because he loves her and respects her. BUT MOSTLY HE LOVES HER.
Charlie is gone? Sad.
"Vaguely”. ROFLOL
Plot plot plot plot. *yawn*
“Edward had a past.” WOW UNDERSTATEMENT.
I would rather hang out with Jean at the bridal shop than go solve any stupid mystery.
“Research purposes.”
MOTHER OF THE BRIDE. KILL HER DEAD JEAN.
“It’s very nice.” She wants a real wedding dress and everyone’s all “You’re too old and used for this.” and Jean’s like “FUCK to-the-all OF YOU, BITCHES.”
Purple hair.
Dear Lucien. “Can’t you just CHECK the granddaughter’s address?” You’re whipped my friend. W-H-I-P-P-E-D. Jean has been the boss of that house since the show started. I’m glad she’s keeping on.
The cupboard under the stairs. Harry?
Lucien falled down.
Is there something dead down there? You’re sniffing awfully hard.
Oh, yup.
Jean’s little black hat looks like a pumpkin on her head.
“Dr Jack Wallace”.
Mrs Wallace. Miss Wallace.
I kind of feel bad for Aunt Flamingo.
I love Alice so much. She is really enjoying being bad.
OFFICIALLY REINSTATED? Honestly. If you’ve watched the x-files you know that Lucien being fired is the equivalent of Mulder dying.
“I almost said it was good to have you back.”
“You deserve to be happy.” Man - I’m loving Patrick. “Time’s a thief, Jean.”
It WAS Patrick who got Lucien re-instated. HEH.
Plastic surgery!
Edward was a little bastard.
Alice is so happy to have Lucien back.
I’m sorry - the father of the bride insisting that the in-laws will pick up his tab? He’s skeezy, too.
“That’s a real salt of the earth kind of job”
A gift from Aunt Flamingo.
FATHER OF THE BRIDE IS DEAD.
I feel...a thaw towards Rose. Just i time for her to leave the show.
DID YOU NOTICE THIS MAN’S SHOOOOOES WERE UNTIED?
Best not take them with alcohol. *Susan looks at the camera*
Oh, yeah, Lucien does have father issues.
With good reason, apparently
“That’s a very nice gesture...isn’t it?”
Aunt Flamingo just be throwing away money. OVER HERE AUNT FLAMINGO.
“What if I don’t deserve her.” You don’t. MATTHEW.
“I’d do anything for you.” MAN. I’ve never been into polyamory but these guys are making me rethink it.
Patrick done kilt himself.
Or maybe he didn’t.
I’ve missed Danny. Although he and Hobart just cocked it up, didn’t they?
Wasn’t Lucien’s younger sister supposed to show up in this ep?
“Don’t disrespect me, boy, or I’m going to press this cotton ball to your wound!”
Alice is all gravelly voiced. I bet Matthew likes that.
“Jean, my darling,” *clutches chest and keels over*
This is a really meandering plot.
Susan done lost her mind!
Too much explanation about the bedroom, kids. Your excitement is a leeeetle obvious.
This lawyer guy is gross.
I mean, I know I’m supposed to feel emotionally touched by this but I’m a little over all of Lucien’s Man Pain. Every disaster in this episode has been a way for him to feel personally attacked.
“Old men. They always underestimate young women.” Heh.
YOU DON’T GET YOUR ASS STABBED BEFORE THE WEDDING. OMG.
WEDDING TIME. WEDDING TIME. WEDDING TIME.
Rose is wearing the mother of the bride outfit.
CHAAAAAARLIE.
Alice and Matthew. I love you both. Come live in the House of Ill Repute with us, Alice!
FIRST DANCE. FIRST DANCE. FIRST DANCE. SOMEBODY HOLD ME.
4 month honeymoon. hellooooooooooo fanfics.
I’LL BE BACK LATER. I GOtTA DiE NOww.

TDBM Drabble: Visiting Hours
Prompt: Episode 5.5; I’m going to move Malice along if the writers aren’t!
Word Count: 300
"Mrs Beazley, let's get you some tea. It won't do the doctor any good for you to faint from hunger." The clucking sister herded a weary Jean toward the hospital cafeteria.
Flattened against the wall, Alice watched them pass before slinking to the back stairs leading to Lucien's room. A hearty tea would give Alice plenty of time to get answers from Lucien...she'd waited long enough.
Someone else was on the stairs, making painful progress with a stick. Matthew Lawson. She slowed, giving him time. He glanced over his shoulder and glowered.
"No rush," she said.
He harrumphed and picked up his pace. She sighed. Men.
She took the opportunity to assess his gait, and at the top of the stairs, firmly grasped his flank. He needed more flexion in his hip or he'd create a stress injury--
"Oi!" he roared, "hands off!"
"This muscle is tightening," she said, ignoring his protests. "You must stretch--"
He shuffled out of her touch. "Lucien is helping me. You're not my doctor."
She'd heard that rejection plenty of times before. Men demanding a 'real' doctor, assuming that she was promiscuous because she'd seen unclothed males, or simply stating that no woman doctor would ever touch them.
"I'm a practicing physician," she pointed out. "I've attended to living patients."
He elaborated: "I don't want to be your patient." But he didn't sound like those other men. He was focused on her mouth for one thing, and his voice was more pleading than indignant.
"Oh. Yes."
"Good." He regained his balance. "You going to see Lucien?"
Right, Jean was not at Lucien's bedside. "Yes."
"Let's get the gory details from him." Matthew turned briskly. "Bloody fool really cocked it up this time."
The frisson gone, she followed, a wide grin on her face. "Let's."

TDBM - 5x04
Let’s just skip most of the case stuff.................:
SPOILERS! (Probably)
How the heck did Lucien not know you need to name the co-respondent in a divorce suit based on Adultery? I knew that and I am not a 1960s Australian lawyer*. Has Lucien even bothered to go and see a solicitor? Why the heck not?
On that note... my understanding is that the adultery doesn’t necessarily have to be *now*, it can be that you’ve just found out about it. So, erm... Joy? This has the added convenience of her being dead now, and the dead can’t sue for libel/slander, so ‘reputation’ is a moot point.
On the above - we’ve established that Mei Lin was missing, presumed dead, for many years. Are you really telling me that there hasn’t been anyone?
Further - a small industry existed to get around this problem - all Lucien needs to do is hire a lady of negotiable affection**, check into a hotel (in Melbourne - for pity’s sake Lucien, in Melbourne), and pay a PI to burst in and take pictures of them ‘in a compromising situation’. Voila, divorce. And he doesn’t have to *actually* sleep with that lady, he just needs to *cough* assume the position *cough*.
Launching a suit observation - couldn’t Lucien sue Mei Lin for the adultery with Major Alderton? Or have I mis-remembered the details of that? Was that pre-marriage or post?
Question - what’s the little veil thing about? Is it cos Jean’s a widow?
Religious observation - oh, the service is in Latin. Interesting.
2nd Question - anyone else google ‘Un Long Road’? No? Just me then...
Point - I twigged to the Thallium poisoning fairly quickly - but that’s because they’ve used that plot in Miss Fisher.
Location point - that’s the same hospital they’ve used in Miss Fisher. I need to know where it is. For reasons.
I felt certain aspects of this plot had some similarities with Hotel Sorrento - an Australian play where one of the plot strands involves a sister who is a writer has come back from overseas. But I haven’t got to the end of that script yet, so I don’t know how that one ends...
Alcohol observation - there is a *lot* of booze in this episode.
Alice observation - I love Alice. I love her sass. I love her smiling at the book reading.
Matthew observation - I also love Matthew. White with 2 - watch out for diabetes there Matthew...
*1) I am an England & Wales qualified lawyer 2) I’ve done a ridiculous level of research on divorce in the state of Victoria - and if Jack Robinson can get a divorce in 1928, then I’m sure Lucien Blake can manage it 30 years later... 3) For pity’s sake, Lucien - GO AND SEE A SOLICITOR. NOW!!!
**That would be a prostitute...

Secret Santa here getting in on the sleepover action. Your TDBM present is in the works! I've not seen Grace & Frankie - top five reasons I should watch it over the holiday break?
oooo, cool to hear from you!! Alright, so I once watched several episodes of Grace and Frankie with my sister and said “no, THAT’S my favorite line!” over and over again, so I will give you the first five reasons that occur to me, because I just love it all.
I mean, the premise. It’s a helluva premise.
it’s just so full of good turns of phrase
Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Martin Sheen, Sam Waterston, and many instances of self-reference
Frankie is full of delightfully whimsical self-healing strategies
in season 1, episode 1, there is a chair with Ryan Gosling’s face on it, and that sequence is what did it for me
this was a lot more vague than I intended, but I was trying to go big-picture.
[sleepover asks]
#def feel free to ask about grace and frankie anytime#i love it so much#tdbm secret santa#asks#anon#grace and frankie

Sydney's unabridged thoughts on the last ~5 minutes of Family Portrait:
*Gasp*
"Aww"
"I told her she could do better" (re: the dress)
"That SMILE" (re: Lucien seeing Jean walk down the aisle)
*Squeezes my leg*
"Who the hell is that? Why isn't Cec officiating?"
"Oh Alice. And Cec!"
"DAVID" (again, she means Charlie.)
Officiant: I now pronounce you husband and wife.
Sydney: It is about fucking time.
"That's the first time they've kissed in front of people."
(when Charlie sees Rose with Danny) "He's like, uhh, is that my Rose talking to another handsome young man, who's basically me?"
Matthew: You wanna go get some air?
Alice: God, yes.
Sydney: *laughs* Saaaaame, babe.
*squeals* "Mrs Blake, Macy! The doctor and Mrs Blake!"
"Don't dance with Danny. That's so dumb that they did that."
"Aww, he kissed her cheek, like right under her ey-- Four months later. Skipped the honeymoon. Skipped the good part. All the juicy details. Left to our imagination. Oh, my woman, OH her smile. Mrs. Blake!"
Jean: I'll pop the kettle on.
Sydney: You are not his housekeeper.
"Awwwwwww" (re: the kiss before they get interrupted)
*Lucien comes back to kiss Jean*
Sydney: Yes, sir.
Lucien: I love you.
Sydney: Say it BACK.
Me: He knows.
Sydney: Of course he knows!
That's it y'all!! We finished the canon part of tdbm. I explained the situation with ghost stories and she'll watch it at some point but maybe not for a little while. Anyway, this has been so much fun and we're so glad people have enjoyed it!! When I made that first post on February 13th, I had no idea that anyone would care about mine and Sydney's commentary, but y'all did, and here we are! Next up is City Homicide, which neither of us has seen. It'll probably be a little bit before we start, cause I think we'll want to wait till we're I'm less busy. Anyway, this was a fun ride and I'm so glad y'all were with us for it. Thanks for all the love ❤️

Sydney, on Jean's outfit: I love her dearly. But that shirt should not go with that skirt. Stripes, and-- what is that, plaid, or squares--honey.
