James Flint: I assure you sir, my judgement is intact
Narrator: a phrase here which means “I’ve not yet given into temptation and rugby tackled Lord Thomas Hamilton into bed.”

#there’s something about this little scene i love#no dialogue etc but still#first of all eleanor on a horse of course#i had completely forgotten#and miranda doing hard manual labour for her household#all on her own#what a difference that must have been to her luxurious life in londontags from who i reblog:
#this gifset has so many of the things#I AM PERMANENTLY EMOTIONAL ABOUT#Miranda fucking Hamilton#who learnt to draw water from wells#and grow a thriving vegetable garden#like jesus i cannot even comprehend what it must have been like for her#and god this woman has strength and courage that i cannot even imagine#someone who learnt to remain sane and pragmatic in the face#of the complete deconstruction of her life#and ON THE OTHER SIDE#Eleanor fucking Guthrie#in her leather jacket#fighting to take control#of a world that has told her from day one#THAT SHE IS NOT ENOUGH#I LOVE ALL THE WOMEN IN THIS SHOW TO BITS AND PIECES#BUT THESE TWO ARE THE ONES I WILL DEFEND TO THE DEATH
I haven’t seen the video, Anon, but I’ve seen people talking about it. Quite frankly, I’m happy that they made the decision to not capitalize on gay people’s pain – it was a good, responsible decision. With that said – oh gods, Thomas. My baby. I think somewhere deep down I’d kind of hoped they’d just shipped him off to the plantation right away instead of actually sticking him in Bethlem and just – ow. I’ll be over here, needing infinitely more fic where he gets to be safe and happy and start handling his trauma in a place where he’s not enslaved. And quite a few fics where he’s not traumatized that way at all.
