Julian’s really bold putting snarky words in Agnes’ mouth about Louisa May Alcott when he’s literally in the midst of filing the serial numbers off a Lucy Maud Montgomery plot for his main audience surrogate character and doing an inferior job of it.

#The Gilded Age #don’t you come for my Victorian girlhood novelists you hack #I bet he’s friends with Andrew Davies who loves slagging off Jane Austen for being too prim so it took Him A Man to make it Sexy #shut up my sirs #nuance and subtext continually elude you I see

I wish I didn't worry so much about not being seen as a serious artist/writer bc I have a kinda cartoony style and a writing style that's more sacastic than eloquent. Like who cares. I personally enjoy things like that more than "serious" media so like surely some other people do too?? And like I mean like if someone is derisive about it like... ok they can just get over themselves?? Like. It's camp.

#deep seated insecurity about my skills pervasive fear of everyone thinking im stupid etc etc etc #like i just have this weird fear that people will be like oh your work is shallow and dumb bc ur not a fucking renaissance painter #and just as much with my writing. honestly maybe even more with my writing. bc i do stuff thats outlandish on purpose. #but like i know what im doing. its not just for no reason. #tbh i dont think my prose is that great in general but like i also dont think it NEEDS to be flowery bc that would like #not fit the tone of anything ive written ever. but oh what if people think im an illiterate hack for not writing like a victorian novelist. #yeah anyways im just sayinf shit. i know this is all improbable and unreasonable to be so concerned about my brain is jusy fucked up lmao #important frogcast

I will say it time and time again, even if Scotland were independent politically it would still be on the island of Britain geographically, so though people are perfectly entitled to use whatever term they like, it cannot be said that Scottish and British are mutually exclusive terms (as they could, perhaps even should, be in Northern Ireland). 

That being said the vastly archaic term North Briton makes me cringe so hard even in a nineteenth century context, it’s hard not to assume they’re using it ironically

#Make me feel like a Victorian railway hotel #But yeah #I mean labels and overly fixating on constitutional politics and identity nonsense is really not a road we should go down #Regardless of whether (like me) someone voted for independence or to stay in the Union #It just leads to very bad things when you tie belief in an independent state to like someone's core identity #And also there is just no one size fits all to national identity- there is not One Correct Scot who only does Typical Scottish Things #That being said my god please look at a map #Also like some people (not all or even most) seem to dodge the label British partly so they can dodge the baggage that comes with it #like the British empire #And I am sorry but that is still Scotland's mess too whichever way you look at it there is no get out of jail free card with independence #Also like there is already a woeful lack of knowledge about Scottish history on both sides of the independence debate #Don't add basic geography to the list #Anyway #That aside don't use the Victorian has-been term North Briton unless you are a Regency novelist #And if you call me Scotch I will egg you #Thoughts on the Thistle

Hi, Neil. Love from India.

I was reading about victorian literature for my exams and I came across this paragraph according to which Dick Turpin was the name of one of the original characters of Harrison Ainsworth, the Victorian novelist. I was wondering whether this is how you named Newton's car in GO or is it all just a coincidence?

No, Dick Turpin was a real person. He was a highwayman. Ainsworth was using a real person in a pseudo-historical context.

18 for the book ask?

18. do you like historical books? which time period?

What a great question! My instinct is to say yes, but when I think about it, most of the historical novels on my radar are things I’ve been meaning to read for years and consistently passing over in favor of other things (Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Essex Serpent, The Woman in Black, etc).

I definitely enjoy books set in the (long) 19th century—basically if it takes place 1830-1920 I’ll probably love it. I also enjoy British murder mysteries from the mid-20th century, although it’s definitely the reputation for top-notch mystery that interests me and not the time period.

#personal #ask memes #something that i'd like to start doing is reading more forgotten popular fiction from history #like the kind of thing random people would have picked up for a good escapist read and not the classics #(yes classics often were popular fiction--eg dickens) #but the point is that i often run across the names of victorian novelists i've never heard of #and every time i do my brain goes !!! and i want to actually check them out #an inexhaustable source of magic
