They did have some "spying" chemistry together and they did get attached to each other as friends/father-son like. Sometimes, i wish Rogers would have switched sides for real and see what bad****s sh*t they would have escogitated together xD!

“You and I are going to have a grand time together.”

This episode was peak writing. Period.

Caleb! Annie, how was New York?

Most of people: "the Blacks are the better ones", "No, the Greens are"

Me: *not standing for neither of the two factions, not liking generally House Targaryen and knowing that its members are going to kill each other*

Me:

#house of the dragon #hbo #house of the dragon season 2 #team black #team green #antitargaryens #anti blacks #anti greens #i will enjoy the sight of those a******s killing each other #the only one i feel sorry for is Viserys #but i know it was also his fault #and for haelena targaryen too #that poor girl will face such a devastating heartbreak she didn't deserve at all #the only ones i will feel sorry for are the dragons

[theancientwise]

since I'm a masochyst, i ended up listening to this masterpiece of a song and remembering how Richard and Abraham were finally reconciling and having an healthy father-son relationship...

and Simcoe took Richard away from him.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RECOVER FROM THIS?!!

and so their names still lives on...

This is one of my few complaints about "Turn-Washington' Spies": the little (and often, very poorly written) focus on this couple that, if they were better handled, would've kicked a***es for real. Seriously, if they gave me more AnnaxSelah or AbexMary instead of that unbearable AbexAnna drama, i'd be like "shut up and take my money!"

But when i look how Selah is so happy here, i can almost get behind it: after being unfairly imprisoned in that hell of prison ship, being cheated on with Abraham, and almost getting divorced, this cinnamon roll of a man deserves a break and a little happiness with his wife.

They really deserved better (especially Selah).

My sincere thanks to @annastrxng for permission to reblog and to @calebbrewster for the gifs

The Strongs are here to fuck you up (for @federalisms)

So that means... that there will not be William the Conqueror?

#vikings #vikings valhalla #s3 #wtf is going on #vikings william the conqueror #how could you do this to me netflix #he was the only reason i was watching that show #with queen Emma and king Canute of course #the conqueror better will be there #if he's not then the hell i will watch s3 #I've never felt this robbed like i am now

[theancientwise]

That was 100% what William was thinking about in this scene: you can't change my mind.

And he actually did it. What a chad DeNogaret was in the first episodes.

Seriously, he's so cunning that you can't help loving him xD!

[theancientwise]

While reading my fave girl Gisla's wiki...('cause i was being nostalgic about her)

i happened to notice something very peculiar...

IT'S OFFICIAL! Emma is indeed our beloved Gisla's great-granddaughter!

So that means the Conqueror shall be her descendant as well in the future seasons of "Valhalla".

You cannot fathom how much i'm happy for this.

#vikings #vikings valhalla #vikings gisla #vikings emma #gisla princess of frankia and duchess of normandy #queen emma of normandy #their kinship has been made official #this made my day #i knew it was implicit #but deep down i feared that they weren't related #now i want the conqueror. NOW

Major Otto Hecht and Dottie Delmar from "Escape to Athena"(1979)

My very own first OTP... even way before i learnt what otp means xD!

Even though I haven't watched this movie for a while, I still have a soft spot for them <3.

William De Nogaret shall always be one of Julian Ovenden's best roles.

Don't ask me why: these clips tell you the answer.

#knightfall #hc knightfall #william de nogaret #julian ovenden #pope Boniface VIII #jim carter #gosh the hotness of De Nogaret's style in s1 was mindblowing #who the hell though it was a good idea to change it on s2

[theancientwise]

Guillaume: Well, i was about to do it regardless, but since you ask me... With the greatest pleasure, ma cherie.

This is called chemistry. This is called desire. This is called love.

(F*ck it: when i have spare time, i shall write a fanfiction about them with an happy ending; he so much deserves it)

Please. I really need you to blow up my boyfriend for me.

Selah Strong to Anna in s4e7: "...But you are important to me as well. Though i confess that doesn't interest me as much as it used to. What does interest me is what is important to you".

Me: "Marry me, mr Strong, please."

#turn: washington's spies #turn amc #s4e7 #selah strong #anna strong #annaxselah #annlah #the way he loves her enough to let her do what she feels it's important is so OMG #when he would have all the rights to demand her coming back with him at those times #Anna has the best husband ever #and she doesn't even see that #gosh that's frustrating

Never mess with Frank Ladies...

and above all, with their beloved husbands.

Headcanon of mine: Empress Frederuna was a calm and collected woman, but whenever someone talked bad about her beloved family, she used to lose her sh*t... Just like her daughter Gisla xD!

(Sorry for the very, very bad quality of the second gif: when i have time, i shall modify it with a better one, i promise!)

Even though it didn't last long, it was very nice to watch Richard and Abe conspiring together against the King's Men and in order to save Caleb. And I think the judge was starting to enjoy his "rebel" side and bonding with his son

[theancientwise]

Then, in the final episode, we descovered that Abe, after losing his father in 04x03, he had lost his son in the 1812 war.

Man, i can't handle this.
