Lakers anon here- if I hear anything else I’ll tell you. Unfortunately it’s more of a “wait to be told info” situation rather than an “ask about every rumor.”
I have no info about the Met other than their team knows to never work with Vanity Fair. How is that related to the Met? Because Condé Nast owns VF and Vogue, Anna is the creative director for CN, any relationship between the two sides is tenuous at best. Meghan detests how she was portrayed in her VF 2016 interview.
For all I know she could show up in that Dior dress in a couple weeks. Maybe Anna reached out personally to her. But I highly doubt it. (Also, no idea about the Dior contract. But if it does go through we will be seeing Meghan a lot more. You’re not paid to be a brand spokesperson without having many photographed, highly visible events planned out).
Lakers anon! Welcome back!
Ohhh thanks for confirming what I think we all suspected about her relationship with Vanity Fair but what I am curious about is why VF had several exclusives about their staff if this is the case?
One of the reasons I doubt she will go to the Met Gala is that even though it would serve them well, they seem to be wary of looking too Hollywood. Let me elaborate.
Meghan probably believes that they are above all Hollywood, they really are part of the Royal family, which sets them apart from the rest and as such that difference should be marked. They are celebrities but they don't want to look too much like celebrities, they want to look like famous philanthropists who work in the entertainment world. Going to the Oscars, for example, would make more sense for them or her than going to the Met Gala and going to the Met Gala is too Hollywood, plus Meghan would not be the centre of attention. I'm sorry but she could never compete with Blake or even Beyonce.
Plus there's the question of how Hollywood sees them nowadays. I dare say they don't have the support they had 2 years ago, not as publicly at least.
But thank you for sharing what you know with us!

SO! Fundie Sims Gen 7 is a go :) Below is a summary of what the game plan is:
As you may have noticed, we’ve skipped Gen 6. I ran out of inspo plus none of the Gen 5 kids were particularly fundie-esque. I played with Emma as the heir for a bit, but just didn’t like where it was going.
If you check out the PlumTree (spoilers!), you can see which line we’re following.
The story is that Anya (the eldest Blake) married Toby Carr, an actor, and moved to San Myshuno.
They had a daughter, Kelsey-Anna Carr.
However, Toby cheated on her and generally treated them badly, so Anya left him and moved to Sulani. In Sulani, she decided to start a hippie/yoga-esque commune.
There, Anya had a second child, Josiah Arnold (born Ocean Child Arnold - he changed his name when he was baptised). Although raised on the commune, he scorned his upbringing and became a conservative Christian after meeting a missionary while travelling. He started and, at the start of our story runs, the Sulani Mission.
Enter Emmi Santiago. The youngest of a large conservative family from Selvadorada, her father and Josiah became prayer partners, after which he suggested Emmi as a bride for Josiah. Josiah wasn’t thrilled with the idea, but thought it would be a good cover for his “unholy inclinations”.
And there we are! Emmi will be our narrator for Gen 7. Hope you all enjoy the next part of the Fundie Sims Story :)
CONCURRENTLY I will be sharing the story segments for screenshots I took with other parts of the Blake family just to wrap that all up. But Emmi/Josiah will be the main story.

Love Interests on Downton Abbey: Some Math and Charts
I got curious about the breakdown of love interests on Downton Abbey, specifically with regards to Thomas and the profusion of movie love interests. Before I knew it, I was sitting down and doing some actual math, and people expressed interests, so I figured I might as well take the time to share.
I’ve focused most of my attention on characters who appear in all six series of the show and both movies, and in particular on those whom we might call “of typical marrying age”—characters in their 20s-30s, who are more likely to have a statistically significant number of love interests. Anna and Bates aren’t included because they’re really only for each other from the first season. The characters in their 40s and above aren’t counted because a) most of them have 1 permanent love interest and 1 relationship that doesn’t work out, which isn’t statistically valuable in comparing them to the younger generation, and b) several of them—Isobel, Violet, and Carson—have plots related to love interests who died without every appearing onscreen, so that complicates things.
I’m defining “love interest” as a potential romantic partner that the character canonically either has romantic feelings for, or were seriously persuing. (So for example, Mary/Richard Carlisle was a serious pairing regardless of her romantic feelings, Thomas/Daisy in the first season was not.) I’m defining “installment” as either a full series of the show, or a movie; I’m not breaking it down by episode, because that would truly be Too Much. And I’m defining “requited” as meaning both parties at one point genuinely consented to the relationship in some form, regardless of whether consent was revoked at a later point.
First, a total list of love interests:
Mary: Duke of Crowborough, Kemal Pamuk, Evelyn Napier, Matthew Crawley, Sir Richard Carlisle, Charles Blake, Tony Gillingham, Henry Talbot, Jack Barber
Thomas: Duke of Crowborough, Kemal Pamuk, Edward Courtenay, Jimmy Kent, Richard Ellis, Chris Webster, Guy Dexter
Edith: Matthew Crawley, Sir Anthony Strallan, John Drake, Patrick Gordon/Crawley, Michael Gregson, Bertie Pelham
Tom: Sybil Crawley, Edna Braithwaite, Sarah Bunting, Lucy Smith
Daisy: Thomas Barrow, William Mason, Alfred Nugent, Andy Parker
Of this group, Thomas and Tom are the only ones who go into the movies without having met their endgame partner; Thomas is the only one who goes into the final movie without an endgame partner, and the only one (of the entire cast, not just this limited sample) who gets more than one love interest in the movies.
* I have omitted Matthew from Edith’s talley of multi-appearance love interests because her romantic subplot with him only lasted for one episode, and beyond that he was principally there as a love interest of Mary’s.
And here’s a fun timeline showing the installments in which characters were either partnered, or in which they had textual romantic subplots. (So, for example, Daisy’s ongoing crush on Alfred was referred to numerous times in s4 and was counted, but the extent to which Thomas’s plots with Jimmy were influenced by his unspoken ongoing crush vs platonic friendship remains unclear, and therefore was not counted.)
#thomas barrow#mary crawley#edith crawley#tom branson#daisy mason#(I'm guessing that's her main tag? oh married names)#(they are a pickle)#downton abbey#if you reblog this with mean ship comments so help me god#I will fill your shoes with tomato soup#all of them. every last shoe.#spoilers#I guess

what do u think characters favorite foods are :0
blake and cal eat snow, i think. cal's more dignified about it and just likes snow cones but blake eats it off the ground for fun.
elias eats shit that Tastes. doesn't matter if its good or bad it just needs to feel like he's one step closer to getting visions from arceus again
titania likes grilled cheese. despite lacking taste buds, a mouth, internal organs or a need for sustinence at all, her aegislash also does
shelly's second favorite food behind the cuffs of her long sleeve shirts are plastic bottlecaps. she just likes chewing stuff without the consequences of tasting stuff
noel likes kit kats. he wants to share with his pokemon but his team consists entirely of Normal Ass Animals and a fairy type even more succeptible to food poisoning so he can't give them any. anna on the other hand feeds her jirachi plastic because "it looked hungry :("
and hardy just like fries. he's a fries kinda guy
#i had a comic idea a while ago that was samson asking elias how he learned to bartend while he was blind#and elias blandly responding#mostly by taste#maybe i should go back to it sometime. but also i have 80 drawing ideas already that i need to run around and do#ive only got so much time on my hands!!!#jazzask

Hii darlings, I feel like we're pretty well acquainted by now but I'm Anna Banana and this is my muse Blake. <3 below is some info on her!
Full Name: Blake Penelope Marie.
Age: 29 yrs old. July 23, 1993 is her birthday.
Hometown: Winnipeg, Manitoba, CA
Currently resides in: Jacksonville, FL
Sexuality: Bisexual with no real preference or lean. If she vibes with you, she vibes with you.
Occupation: AEW seamstress. Before that she worked with WWE and NJPW, Impact, etc.
Likes: Shopping, getting mani pedi's, a huge music lover, writing is a big passion of hers, makeup, she has a youtube channel where she vlogs, a big foodie, and she loves fashion. HUGE animal lover.
Dislikes: Rude people, crowded places, fish is a big no go for her, etc.
Blake was born and raised in Winnipeg CA - she was born on July 23, 1993 to her parents Ted and Victoria Marie. Her father was a successful hockey player and her mother always had a passion for fashion and designing - which she eventually passed down to Blake. Her childhood was as normal as it could be given her dad's career but she always longed for more. Blake was never extremely close with her parents, her mother had her own visions and dreams for Blake - one's that involved Blake becoming a fashion designer someday. Truthfully Blake always wanted to do what would make her mother happy but as fate would have it, she ended up meeting a professional wrestler, someone who would change the course of her entire life. She became best friends with this man and would eventually go onto have a relationship with him, which lead to Blake finding a career in pro wrestling as a seamstress. This man got her a lot of opportunities and jobs, alongside him. The two eventually got pretty serious but as fate would have it - she got a job offer with a company called NJPW and she ended up choosing her career over him. It was the hardest decision she ever made but she often pretends like she doesn't regret it -even though, deep down, she does. She wonders about the what if's of her life, what if she wouldn't of chose that job, what if she wouldn't of left him, what would her life be like now? A girl who is constantly searching for more in life and hardly ever finding it - she works for a wrestling company by the name of AEW now and has for a few years. But she still carries around all of the guilt and all of the pain of her past.
A little info on her personality: Blake is a super friendly person - she doesn't like confrontation but if you push her, she'll push back. She enjoys having a good time, which sometimes includes getting a little wasted and partying a little too much. However deep down - she wants what a lot of people have / want - a family. Someone she can travel the world with and someone who she can share all of these amazing achievements with.
Notable connections:
The ex -@hollywoodhunks. He and Blake dated for a while but she ultimately chose a job with NJPW over Ryan and this caused a big divide which ultimately lead to their breakup. The two haven't spoken with each other until now that they work in the same company once again. Blake still wonders about Ryan a lot, she misses him even, she just has never had the heart to tell him she made a huge mistake. And most of the time she reasons with herself that it wouldn't do any good nor would it be fair to him.
All other plots are open and ready to be discussed, hit me up in the dms or like this and I'll come to you! <3

i as always am full of opinions and i have a lot of opinions about a particular first monday in may so i’ve decided to share my EXTREMELY UNQUALIFIED opinions on met gala 2023 looks
TO PREFACE! fuck vogue fuck anna wintour fuck karl lagerfeld. he did some good and mostly bad. racist, homophobic, misogynist (especially towards women of color).
TO INTRODUCE! i’m extremely bored with this theme. partly because i have zero familiarity with anything to do with fashion and that includes even super prominent designers like karl lagerfeld. partly because having the theme based on ONE designer seems like it limits the creativity and expression a bit. it’s like there’s nowhere to go. basing the theme off fashion that already exists just seems so boring! you can’t get shit like zendaya’s cinderella dress and rihanna’s egg train and blake lively’s oxidation transformation or any of the AMAZING looks from previous years with a theme that’s based on pre existing fashion. all the attendees are already boxed in. that’s my take anyways, i could be Very wrong. also i will be skipping people i don’t know unless their look is Very Bad or Very Good or I Feel Like It
TO BEGIN!
rihanna & a$ap rocky
i love her lil flower egg she looks so cozy. almost looks like eva from wall-e. his look feels more campy to me but it’s honestly pretty cool and interesting and it’s better than the five million boring black suits so i like it 9/10
sabrina dhowre elba & idris elba
the skirt is interesting but that’s it. the suit is a step up from boring black so i’ll give him some credit. unexceptional 3/10
jenna ortega
STUNNING. INCREDIBLE. the strands of necklace? the woven look? the little half jacket? the bow? the gloves? the shoes turned to platform heels? the CORSET??? it looks like someone tore up the cinderella wicked stepmother’s dress and it looks SO SICK 1000/10 nailed it love her
taika waititi
he looks like he’s playing benvolio in a production of much ado about nothing where they’ve done like a modernized 1950sish? (is that when men wore waistcoats and those pajama coats like that?) theme with the costumes and set design. and one of the sets is a bar instead of someone’s garden or something. i love it 9/10
anne hathaway
QUEEN. another woven texture and i still love it. the slits are fantastic, very sexy very cool. the tits part of it makes me think of katy perry music videos and i dig that. gotta be careful though she might be stealing a $150 million necklace 9/10
pedro pascal
i fucking love this look. i love the red and the coat is glorious. not to mention the shorts. like normally i’d hate that but i’m really digging it. he looks like he’s a don in a mafia movie with really obvious color imagery but it’s like, 1/4 yale boy yacht party 9/10
kim kardashian
i honestly really like the arm train, it’s really beautiful and elegant. unfortunately the body part doesn’t match that vibe at all in a way that doesn’t work. also i feel like i’ve seen that exact type of dress before. not a fan. also frankly she shouldn’t have been invited back for RUINING a historical artifact. 2/10
salma hayek
another red look and i dig it. i like that kind of skirt and the bodice is cool, they don’t match BUT in a way that works! it’s interesting! also i see that lil bit of lace on her leg poking through. 7/10
jennifer lopez
gorgeous but a long train alone doesn’t make a look interesting. gotta give me more than that and the hat is not working for me 4/10
eileen gu
a good look for a children’s ho— *i am shot in the head and die instantly and my body is dragged into an unmarked van by masked people in nondescript uniforms*
8/10
#anyway i have zero fashion knowledge please forgive me if i get things wrong or miss glaringly obvious things#i can only do 10 cause that’s the amount of images they’re letting me add#and also if it was longer than that it would feel excessive#i always have more thoughts tho so maybe i’ll do more later#also i should say that a lot of work goes into creating these looks#none of these are judgments on the people unless they are#or the designers cause i know they’re working hard and getting little acknowledgment#anyway enjoy#2023 met gala#met gala

"I took all that darkness and I ate it, so that you, my son could live a good life."
Hi sweets !! It's Anna Banana back at it again with my long time fave. Below is some information regarding her and her life / family !!
Full name: Blake Penelope Marie.
Birthday: July 23, 1993. ( Leo.)
Hometown: Gainesville, Georgia
Currently resides: Atlanta, Georgia
Parents: Ted and Victoria Marie. Her mother left her when she was 12 years old - she has a new family now but Blake hasn't spoken to nor seen her since she was 12. She still has a very good relationship with her father.
Siblings: a half brother and half sister on her mother's side, though she's never met them.
Children: Jennings Dusty Runnels. Nickname and commonly referred to as JD.
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual with no real preference or lean - if she vibes with you, she vibes with you.
Blake Penelope Marie was born on July 23, 1993 in Atlanta Georgia to her parents Ted and Victoria Marie -- Victoria was a stay at home mother and her father Ted was a successful lawyer in Atlanta. Her family was very well known around the Atlanta area due to her fathers high profile and the cases he had won. Her life was picture perfect -- in terms the "all american family" to those looking in from the outside, however her mother thought otherwise. When she was 12 years old, her mother left her father and left her behind as well to be with another man never speaking to or reaching out to Blake ever again. This really shaped Blake and made her into the person she is today -- she doesn't get too close to people, she feels untrusting of most around her, her guard is always up and on high alert because of this. Blake's grandmother taught her how to sew when she was 13 years old and it became her lifelong passion -- something most people saw as a hobby, she saw it as her golden ticket. She wasn't good at many things but she was good at making clothes for people. When Blake was in her early twenties, she began working for companies like NJPW, Impact, etc and gained notoriety for her designs and gears she made for various different wrestlers. It eventually gained her attention on social media and she was approached by a WWE seamstress, who offered her a job, she accepted it and has been working with the E' ever since.
Connections:
@chokerslayer -- best friend. This is Blake's ride or die, someone she's been friends with for such a long time and considers to be one of her closest friends that she has in the wrestling business. Definitely one of the only ones she considers herself to fully and completely trust.
@myownkingdxm -- Baby daddy / ex. -- This is Blake's baby daddy and her ex, their past is very complicated and toxic. The two share a son together, Jennings who more commonly goes by JD. Their son was named after Cody's father and Jennings late grandfather Dusty. Cody and Blake never had a good relationship, very toxic and fought with one another a lot. Lots of mistakes were made but the two remain civil most times for their sons sake. (this was discussed with the mun, don't @ me lmao.)

Hans Westergaard || 26 || City Manager || Echo Creek
“Oh Anna if only there was someone out there who loved you...”
✨ Biography:
Growing up with twelve older brothers wasn’t easy, but Hans managed. He was always last for everything as his brothers called dibs on most things. He was the baby though and that meant he held a special place in his parents’ heart, which wasn’t something he could say for some of his brothers. Hans was a bratty child though. He screamed and fought until he got what he wanted and in the end he always did. It drove his brothers mad but the disappointed looks on their faces were always worth it. From a young age Hans knew he wasn’t going to be blessed like his brothers’ were. They were first in line for everything. Money, jobs, etc... Hans wasn’t having it though. His parents were powerful politicians in Echo Creek and he wanted the power and money that they had, which meant he had to work three times as harder than any of this brothers. His brothers all went off to do something grand. Be lawyers, politicians, business owners, and so on. The boys were all set up with both trust and college funds so there was no room for disappointing their parents when they had done so much to set them up for greatness. The minute his twelfth brother left home though and it was just himself and his parents Hans knew he could enact his plan. He was a master manipulator and told his parents if they didn’t secure a job in office for him as a politician he would black mail them. Now, the Westergaards were far from decent people. They had plenty of dirt on them that wasn’t public and Hans was willing to drag his family’s name in the dirt in order to get what he wanted. So, his parents obliged.
Hans did go to college. He knew the education would help him along the way. The minute he got out though he was working with his parents. He was their campaign manager and did everything he could to keep them in office. The only issue was the Arendelles. They too were politicians in Echo Creek and had two daughters. Anna and Elsa. Hans had never formerly met their daughters though and he was going to make sure that changed. He ‘just so happened’ to wander into the candy shop Anna worked at and the two met. Anna was clearly head over heels for Hans, but when he met Elsa it was different. The woman had a secret and Hans wanted to know what it was. His initial plan was wooing Elsa into marrying him but that clearly wasn’t an option so Anna was his next best bet. He was willing to marry the girl to inherit the Arendelle estate and wealth. Hans would stop at nothing to have power. So, when his parents ‘tragically’ died he stepped up and took their positions. He took on his father’s job as city manager and to be so young in a position of such high power was strange. He had an assistant, interns, and his own office at city hall. Everyone that had been there years before threw a fit, but Hans was there to assure them greatness would come and was able to manipulate them into believing him. Hans mostly pretends his brothers don’t exist, works hard, and does his best at weaseling his way into Anna and Elsa’s lives to take over. Hans is nervous for the day Elsa does come to do the work her parents left behind for her, but for now he’s focused on making Echo Creek the town he wants it to be.
✨Personal:
Species: Human
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Pronouns: He/Him
Favorite Song: Cult Leader by KiNG MALA
Big Three: Scorpio sun, Capricorn moon, Scorpio rising
✨Connections:
Daphne Blake: Her parents keep trying to set them up but Hans just politely declines and tells them he’s far too busy to date because of work.
Pacifica Northwest: She’s a bit of a brat but her parents are the richest in Coolsville. Echo Creek is step one, but if Hans could get expand into Coolsville that would be superb.
Phillip Dickinson: The two are an odd pair of friends and Hans would never share his true colors to him, but he does enjoy hanging out and having a few drinks with him.
Based On: Hans from Frozen
Faceclaim: Cody Christian
FC Change: Not Allowed
Availability: Taken

The Journey of Living at Downton
Chapter 32: July 1922
Masterlist
Apparently, Cora's brother is really in some hot water as whatever trouble he was in has become a proper scandal and a telegraph has been sent calling Robert to the U.S. as that'll help Harold Levinson's profile. Emma wishes she knew more about this scandal, they're calling it the Tea Pot Dome scandal, but she doesn't as she'd never cared to look into U.S. political history.
This leads to some panic among some living at Downton as Robert is leaving today and Mr Bates doesn't want to leave Anna now and Anna desperately doesn't want him to. Mrs Hughes comes up with the plan to get Mary to argue for Mr Bates not to go, something about Anna being her maid carrying more weight. Mrs Hughes later confesses that she had to tell Mary everything about the attempted rape though kept up the lie of it being a random stranger.
Robert is very disgruntled about not having Mr Bates with him but Emma happily suggests he takes Thomas with him since he used to be his valet. Emma also thinks it may be best to get him out of the house as Gemma reports that Miss Baxter seems to be tormented by Thomas, who seems to be constantly whispering to her and making demands.
——
Emma sits with Edith in some chairs in the Library as they're surrounded by Tom, Mr Napier and Mr Blake. They're conversing about the running of the estate with them when, in the middle of their conversation, Jimmy opens the door for Violet and Rose.
"Judging how things are going, he can manage very well." Tom is saying as the two women enter.
"Oh? Are we disturbing the conclave?" Violet remarks. Emma and Edith stand to greet her while Rose moves to sit on one of the settees.
"We're just discussing the pigs." Emma tells her.
"Ah, the arrival of the pigs and the departure of their master." Violet says as she walks further into the room. Emma frowns as she notes how out of breath and almost wheezy Violet is.
"It's sad Lord Grantham has to miss it." Mr Napier says.
"Are the pigs a good idea, Mr Blake?" Violet asks their guest.
"It's a good idea for estates like this to maximise and diversify." Mr Blake replies. "The question is whether or not Lord Grantham and Lady Mary fully appreciate what they're taking on."
Edith and Emma share an amused look at that remark.
"Oh? You ask as if the answer were no." Violet remarks as she takes a seat.
"Mr Blake is not under Mary's spell." Edith says.
Mr Carson walks in with a glass of water on a tray. "Mrs Crawley." He announces.
Isobel enters. "Morning."
She receives some nods and murmurs of good morning.
Mr Carson leans down with his tray to Violet. "Your water, m'lady."
"Thank you, Carson."
Isobel sits in a chair next to Violet. "Are you feeling hot? I am. I've just walked up from the Village."
"I am a bit hot, but I didn't walk." Violet replies a little breathlessly.
——
Emma walks over to Thomas who is watching Jimmy and Mr Moseley as they load the waiting car with Robert's luggage while dressed in a coat and hat. Mr Carson, Mrs Hughes, Miss Baxter, Anna, Gemma and the other housemaids stand in a line, in the usual useless but very decorative way. On the other side of the front door, the family are assembled.
"Well, good luck on your journey. Be sure to enjoy yourself." Emma greets him with a smile.
Thomas raises an amused eyebrow and wears a slight smirk on his face. "Are you sure you're not expecting some gift?"
Emma shrugs. "Wouldn't hurt."
Thomas huffs a laugh before glancing over Emma's shoulder. She turns to see he's staring at Anna.
"I'm sure you know why I'm going and not Mr Bates." Thomas says.
Emma tries to keep her cool. It's not easy lying to Thomas. "No, I don't."
"Mmm..."
It is then Cora and Robert walk out of the door so Emma moves to stand next to Tom again and leans down to pet Isis who sits next to him. Mr Blake and Mr Napier approach the Earl and Countess.
"Lady Grantham says we can stay 'til we're done. But it'll be a few weeks more. I hope you don't mind." Mr Blake says.
"Not if you make yourselves useful." Robert shakes hands with the two men.
"We will." Mr Napier says.
Robert turns to Edith. "Try to be strong, my darling."
Edith smiles bravely. "I will."
"Gregson must be out there somewhere. I wish you'd let me send a detective."
"There's no point." Edith dismisses. "His firm's already done all that, to no avail."
"Well, if there's anything you want us to do, Mama will give you whatever you need." Robert kisses her on the cheek, then moves on to Violet. "Goodbye, Mama."
"Goodbye, my dear." They embrace, too. "Try not to let those Yankees drive you mad."
Robert moves on to Mary, who seems to be distracted, Emma knows she must be thinking of what she had learned about what happened to Anna.
"Mary? Why so preoccupied?" Robert asks.
"Am I? I'm afraid my mind is on other things. Anyway, goodbye, Papa." They embrace. "And please try to enjoy yourself."
"Good luck with the pigs." He turns to Rose, embracing her too. "Rose, I leave you in charge of fun!"
"Oh, mission understood, Captain."
"Goodbye, Isobel." Robert embraces her before moving on to Emma and Tom. Emma and Robert embrace. "Bye, Emma. Please an eye on any nuisance and say my farewell to Billy. It's a shame he has already gone to work."
Emma smiles. "Of course."
"Bye, Tom." They shake hands. "Look after all my womenfolk, including Isis." He quietens his voice, "Especially Isis." He leans down to say goodbye to his dog.
"I'll try my best."
Mr Molesley has put the finishing touches to securing the luggage and Robert has taken his seat in the back of the car. Thomas walks around to sit next to the chauffeur and gets in. The car starts moving away. Another follows, laden with even more luggage. After watching the cars leave, everyone begins to move back inside.
——
Tom is driving Isobel and Emma along in the open car. Emma sits next to her husband in the passenger seat while Isobel sits in the back. The cars of this time, particularly this open one, still unnerve Emma but she's getting better though she still doesn't like the lack of safety with them. Seatbelts at even a thing yet and when they do, they don't become enforced and mandatory to wear in the UK until the 1970s as far as she's aware. Her parents used to tell her stories of what the cars were like when they were young.
"It's nice of you to drive me home." Isobel says.
"I'm meeting the new pig man." Tom replies.
"And I wanted to join." Emma injects. "Having a ride in the car with you is just an added bonus." She looks over her should and she and Isobel share a smile.
"I do worry about the two of yous lives away from the estate. Is there any?" Isobel asks.
"Not until I'm back at work I suppose." Emma says. Now that she thinks about it, she really doesn't have much of a life outside of the family.
"I've got no time." Tom remarks.
"What happened to your politics, Tom?"
"They vanished. Along with that silly chauffeur chap named Branson." He makes it sound funnier than he feels it is. Emma frowns at his words and tries to catch his eye to share her disapproval and unhappiness at his words but he avoids them and focuses on the road.
Isobel laughs. "I don't believe that. And neither does Emma. I gather the MP, John Ward, is coming to speak in Ripon tomorrow at the Town Hall. I could get tickets."
Emma perks up in interest and turns to Isobel briefly. "Oh, can I join?"
"Of course."
"Nah, I don't think so." Tom digresses. "I'm not a fan of the Coalition as it is. And he's only here because Lloyd George thinks an election's coming."
"Well, I doubt he has long, poor dear. But I don't think you're being fair to Mr Ward." Isobel argues.
"I might be good. Spark your interest and all that." Emma gives her husband a pleading look when he glances at her.
"Let's go. What do you say?" Isobel persists.
"I say you better be nice to me, or I'll tell old Lady Grantham you called Lloyd George 'poor dear.'" Tom remarks.
They all laugh heartily.
——
Relations between Mary and Mr Blake have not improved. Mary has reported that Mr Napier reported to her that Mr Blake thinks she's aloof and is not prepared to fight for the estate when it comes to it. Emma could see at dinner that night that Mary was fighting an uphill battle whenever they spoke. Emma hopes their guests leave soon or the tension between Mary and Mr Blake gets resolved. Though Emma can't help but think that there may be something that could happen between them which leaves Emma conflicted as she quite like Mr Napier.
The next day, Edith and Rose go up to London. They get the news that Violet has fallen ill with Bronchitis. Emma hurries over with Mary and Cora to see her. They arrive at the Dower house and stand in Violet's room to see a very ill Violet who's harshly coughing.
Isobel, in an apron, is preparing the inhaler.
"But are you certain? There must be something we can do." Cora says worriedly as she gazes upon her unwell mother-in-law.
"There isn't. I can manage very easily with help from the servants." Isobel replies. "We just have to stop it turning into pneumonia. That's the real danger."
"It seems rather unfair to saddle you with it all." Mary says.
Emma nods. "She's right. I'm a trained nurse, Isobel. Shouldn't I help?"
Isobel shakes her head. "No. I've had training and I wouldn't want you passing anything onto the children."
"Why is the food so disgusting, suddenly?" Violet groans from the bed.
"She doesn't know what she's saying." Isobel says.
"I wouldn't be too sure." Mary remarks, drawing a smile from Emma.
"Everything she puts into my mouth is absolutely disgusting." It's really hard to tell whether she's delirious or just honest.
"Perhaps we'd better get out of your way." Cora says.
"That's all I ask. I'll ring up if there's any change." Isobel reassures.
——
Tom comes walking into the Library. Mary is at the writing desk, Cora is sitting in an armchair nearby, doing embroidery and Emma is reading another book on one of the settees.
"Well, the pigs have arrived." Tom remarks as he walks into the room.
Emma looks up sharply and slams her book closed. "Christ, the pigs! I knew I'd forgotten something!" She exclaims. Tom looks amused at her comment while Cora smiles while also giving her a disapproving look for her language. Honestly, Emma is nearly 32 but that doesn't stop Cora from mothering her.
Mary ignores this as she turns to Tom. "Oh, I'd have come, if I'd known."
"I looked for the two of you. They said you'd gone to your grandmother's. It all went off smoothly. We can walk down and see them tomorrow." Tom reassures.
"Tom, did you get the message about the tickets for the talk in Ripon?" Cora asks.
"I did. Why can't she come?"
"Because Mama's ill and Isobel is nursing her." Tom nods at this.
"Perhaps we can invite Billy? It is his day off." Emma suggests.
"What a lovely idea. He seems only think about his work and nothing else." Cora comments
"What's the thing in Ripon?" Mary questions.
"A Liberal MP is speaking." Tom answers. "Are you sure we should still go? It was Isobel's idea."
"Why? Just because we're not political, you mustn't be put off." Mary argues.
"And I want to go and so will Billy when we tell him." Emma adds, giving a pointed look to her husband.
Tom turns to Mary. "You won't come with us then? We could get another ticket?"
"I'd rather go to the stake."
Cora and Emma chuckle. Despite himself, Tom smiles.
——
The Town Hall is already full when Billy, Emma and Tom arrive and is filled almost to the last chair. The audience is mostly men, but there are some women as well. Next to one of the latter, a chair is still empty. Emma turns to Tom and Billy and points her out.
"Seems there's only two chairs next to that woman." She says.
"Go ahead." Tom says. "I'll stand in back and see you after."
Emma and Billy nod and go down the centre of the aisle. They sidle in and Emma leans around Billy to address the woman next to the empty chairs.
"Hello, are these seats taken?" Emma asks.
The woman turns to them with a pleasant smile and replies, "No." They sit and she turns to them. "Sarah Bunting." She introduces.
"Emma Branson and this is my good friend Billy Prior." Emma replies.
"Oh, not married? To each other?"
Emma and Billy share an amused look before Emma turns back to Miss Bunting, shaking her head. "No, my husband is in back." Emma turns to glance at Tom. "That's him there."
"He let us take the chairs since there was only two available." Billy adds.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." Miss Bunting says.
"Well, it was us two that really wanted to come." Emma remarks. "I do want him to pay attention, and it's bound to be a long talk."
Miss Bunting frowns slightly. "Does he not like politics?"
Emma smiles. "He likes it a bit too much. He's a socialist, so he doesn't have much patience for the liberals."
"Well, why not invite him over so we can nudge when needed or hold him down when he's annoyed?" Miss bunting remarks.
"Are you sure?" Billy asks. "We will have share our seats between the three of us."
Miss Bunting smiles at him. "Not at all."
There is a smattering of applause as John Ward, MP takes the podium. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm John Ward, and in a while I will ask for questions, so please remember what made you indignant when you last read a newspaper." There is laughter all around the room.
As the talk is about to start, the two women and Billy turn to wave at Tom to get his attention. Of course, Mr Ward is quick to notice.
"Excuse me, are the two young women and gentleman here trying to get my attention?"
They whip around, but Miss Bunting speaks first, "We were trying to get his attention." She points toward Tom.
"And do you know these three?" Mr Ward asks Tom, whom Emma can see is a mix of annoyed and embarrassed. Emma doesn't blame him as she feels the same.
"Yes. One is my wife and the other a friend of ours." Tom replies.
"We just wanted him to sit with us." Emma adds.
"Well, gentlemen," Mr Ward says, addressing the crowd, "we should all be rather jealous. These two young men are very well accompanied."
There is some laughter among the audience, and Tom curtly says, "I'll go sit down."
Emma, Billy and Miss Bunting scoot as close together as they can causing Billy to be a bit squashed between the two women. They smile as they see Tom's expression, not particularly pleased at having been singled out in the crowd. He takes the chair next to Emma, and Mr Ward continues his speech.
Turning to Miss Bunting, Emma says, "May I present my husband, Mr. Tom Branson. Tom, Miss Sarah Bunting."
"Delighted." Miss Bunting says, leaning over Emma and Billy. The latter looks alarmed as the woman practically leans across his lap to shake Tom's hand. Emma giggles as she gets comfortable as she can with her legs practically on Tom's lap.
"Are you sure you're going to be comfortable?" Tom asks in a whisper, pulling Emma's left hand onto his lap.
The man behind them leans forward with a loud "Shhhhh!", which Emma responds to by turning and giving him an annoyed glare.
"Yes, I promise," Emma says when she turns back to Tom.
Throughout Mr Ward's speech, Tom does not have a shortage of responses, which he whispers into Emma's ear at regular intervals. Emma smiles widely as he does so, pleased to see her husband so engaged. Occasionally, if his thought is particularly insightful, Emma passes it on to Billy and Miss Bunting, who are partaking in their own discussions and sometimes nod in agreement and sometimes Miss Bunting comments back to Emma in response. It excites Emma that she may have made a friend who seems as absorbed in the issues of government as she is. Edith and Mary never truly get involved and seem to glaze over when Emma reaches their levels of interest.
——
Once it is over, they stand to leave. Emma and Sarah, she'd insisted, immediately start talking excitedly about all they'd heard with Billy joining in.
After a few minutes, after realising that Tom isn't part of the conversation, Emma turns to look for him and sees that he is nowhere to be found. "Oh, Tom must have already gone out." She says.
"Actually, I think he went to talk with Mr. Ward." Billy tells her, pointing to the front of the room.
Emma turns toward the front of the Hall, where in fact, Tom and several other gentlemen surround Mr Ward and are peppering him with questions. Emma brightens. "Oh, good! I'm glad to see he's trying to reignite his interest in politics. I was worried that I was forcing him too much."
"He did seem very knowledgeable about it all. Has he wanted to go into politics?" Sarah asks.
"Well, he did. When we first met, it was what he dreamed of doing. After we married, he worked as a political journalist in Ireland, but when we had to return here—" Emma stops short, realising she was about to reveal her and Tom's story to a woman she'd met only a couple of hours ago.
"Why did you leave Ireland?" Sarah questions. Billy looks uncomfortable at the woman's line of questioning.
Emma laughs to hide her own uncomfortableness. "It's too long of story to tell."
"Will you go back?"
"No. It's not possible to now." Emma looks around, hoping to find a way out of the conversation when she notices that Tom and Mr Ward are the only ones left in the Hall. "Excuse me." She excuses herself and moves on to go to Tom, who engages with Mr Ward in a lively, though civil argument, and leaves behind Sarah and Billy.
Seeing her approach, Mr Ward says, "You must be the lucky Mrs Branson."
"That would be me." Emma replies with a pleasant smile, moving to stand next to Tom. "Thank you for an illuminating discourse."
"Well, your husband has found holes in what I thought were well-argued points. I will say you are blessed to have married such a sharp political mind, though my own wife would call it a curse. Speaking of, I should get back to her. She made the trip with me from London." Before turning to leave, he says to Tom, "Do think about what I said."
"What was that?" Emma asks her husband when the MP is out of earshot.
"There's a local committee he thinks I should join to help draft the local platform before the coming election." Tom explains.
"Oh, you should!" Emma exclaims excitedly.
"I do like the idea, though it's not a job in itself." Tom says with a shrug.
"You never know. Might lead to something." Emma says.
Tom shares a smile with her before they move over to where Emma had left Billy and Sarah to see that the two are in conversation though the former looks uncomfortable.
"Why not?" Sarah is asking.
"It's a long story." Billy replies shortly.
"It always seems a long story with you and your friends." Sarah comments.
Billy opens his mouth but Tom cuts in, "We'd better go. Thanks for the seat though."
"Goodnight." Emma says to Sarah with a smile. The woman returns it and Billy says the same to her before the three leave.
Emma glances back to see Sarah's eyes lingering on Billy. Emma wonders if she likes him.
——
What Emma didn't expect the next day was to find out that Mary and Mr Blake had gone out to view the pigs only to discover that they'd been without water and proceeded to use buckets and pumps to get them the water. Seeing Mary fighting for her pigs like that seems to have resolved any dislike Mr Blake had for her and the other way round as well.
Emma is having tea with Tom, Mr Napier and Mr Blake, served by Jimmy, in the Library and are all lingering around the table with their cups when Mary walks in.
"You've heard about our adventures?" Mary asks rhetorically.
"I'm very impressed." Tom remarks with a wide smile.
"We'll make a farmer of you yet." Emma comments with a grin.
Mary rolls her eyes fondly at the two of them and gets her own cup.
Cora walks in by the other door. "There you are!"
"I'm afraid I slept late."
"Have you remembered Tony Gillingham's coming tonight?" Cora asks. Emma grimaces at that. He's a nice enough chap but she doesn't like his badgering Mary. Tom gives her a questioning look which she brushes off.
Mary is surprised. "What? Why?"
"He's driving up to fish the Spey. He asked if he could stay the night. I'm sure I told you."
Mary isn't pleased. Emma is even less so; this means is valet is coming which will only cause trouble plus isn't Gillingham engaged?
"Did he used to be Tony Foyle?" Mr Blake questions.
"That's right. Why?" Cora asks.
"We served together in the war, on board the Iron Duke with Jellicoe." Mr Blake replies. Emma looks at him in surprise.
"Were you at Jutland?" Mary asks.
"We were." He doesn't seem to be keen to talk about this experience or his acquaintance with Gillingham.
"Well, you'll see him again tonight," Cora says. Blake smiles politely into his teacup. "To be honest, I telephoned him and tried to put him off, but he didn't seem to want to be put off."
"Of course he didn't." Emma huffs quietly.
"Don't worry. It's perfectly fine." Mary puts her cup down and walks out. Emma can tell by her tone that it's definitely not fine.
——
They all assemble for dinner in the Drawing room. Rose and Edith have returned early from London and the former is grumbling to Emma about it, Emma sits and listens knowing there are worse things in the world than plans with some friends being cancelled. She mostly watches Edith who's talking to Tom and Billy and looking more miserable than before. Emma had tried to ask what was wrong as it seems to be more than Michael Gregson being missing but Edith avoids the topic.
Jimmy opens the door for Mary and Gillingham. Gillingham walks straight to Mr Blake with a smile on his face and they shake hands before falling into a conversation. Emma frowns as she watches him, worrying about what is occurring downstairs because of his arrival. Mary wanders over to them and Emma can see Mr Blake chuckling heartily and Mary smiling though Gillingham looks less enthused.
"—how could she?" Rose's voice cuts through Emma's thoughts, causing her to look back at the young girl. "I was having such a lovely time with—"
Emma raises her eyebrows questioningly when Rose cuts herself off and looks down awkwardly.
"With who?" Emma asks pointedly, feeling suspicious. Emma hopes she's not messing around again as she had with that married man.
Rose shakes her head. "No one."
"Dinner everyone." Cora calls, ending the conversation.
Rose takes her chance and hurriedly slips away from Emma. Emma sighs as she watches her then her eyes flicker over to Gillingham and Mr Blake. Never a quiet moment in this house.
——
A/N: Has anyone noticed my dislike for Gillingham? 😅 I just can't stand him and how he treated Mabel while chasing after Mary plus I just never got the appeal of him anyway. Emma herself would automatically not want Gillingham around because of the Green situation anyway. But I think I've injected myself enough into her character for us to agree on not liking Gillingham.
Please leave comments on how you're enjoying this story and what you think.

BOB MARLEY MOVIE ONE LOVE HITS THEATRES FEBRUARY 14TH
New Post has been published on https://plugzafrica.com/bob-marley-movie-one-love-hits-theatres-february-14th/
BOB MARLEY MOVIE ONE LOVE HITS THEATRES FEBRUARY 14TH
Bob Marley’s One Love tells the story of how reggae icon Bob Marley overcame adversity, and the journey behind his revolutionary music. The movie celebrates the life and music of an icon who inspired generations through his message of love and unity. On the big screen for the first time, Bob’s powerful story of overcoming adversity and the journey behind his revolutionary music is shared.
One of the preview’s most intense moments comes during a scene chronicling December 1976, when a crew of men attempted to assassinate Marley inside his home with his wife and children. “No guns can stop this message,” Ben-Adir’s Marley says in the trailer, accompanied by a version of “Three Little Birds.”
Along with chronicling Marley’s rise to fame, One Love also highlights his historic performance at the One Love Peace Concert in Kingston, Jamaica in April 1978, which aimed to heal the rupture between the country’s two major political parties, Jamaica Labour Party and People’s National Party.
Outside of Ben-Adir, other actors in the cast include Lashana Lynch, who plays Bob Marley’s wife, Rita, James Norton as Chris Blackwell, Anna-Sharé Blake (aka Sevana) as Judy Mowatt, Naomi Cowan as Marcia Griffiths, Umi Myers as Cindy Breakspeare, Aston Barrett Jr. as Family Man Barrett, Gawaine “J-Summa” Campbell as Antonio ‘Gillie’ Gilbert, David Kerr (aka Davo) as Junior Marvin, Hector Roots Lewis as Carlton Carly Barrett, Sheldon Shepherd (Yardie) as Neville Garrick, and Stefan A.D Wade as Seeco Patterson.
Before Ziggy Marley approached Kingsley Ben-Adir to play his late father in the film, the actor had already portrayed larger-than-life historical figures like Malcolm X (in One Night In Miami) and Barack Obama (in the miniseries The Comey Rule). But Ben-Adir had no musical experience or capabilities. “I was completely convinced that there’s no point in auditioning for this,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “I can’t sing. I can’t dance.”
However, the director was looking to cast an actor rather than a musician to play the reggae icon. “I was more interested in his acting,” Green told The Observer. “The same way that I approached King Richard, the two young actresses that play Venus and Serena [Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton] had no sports capabilities whatsoever. It’s about being great actors – and then training.”
Ben-Adir learned to sing and play guitar for the role, performing all the songs with his own voice during filming, while the final film combines his voice with Marley’s archival recordings. “Bob’s not someone you can choreograph or copy,” he told EW. “His singing and dancing are from an internal experience, so you really have to find your own version of that for yourself.”
The actor went to work studying Bob and listening to over 50 rare archival Marley interviews to learn his Jamaican Patois and way of speaking. “The more I dug into Bob,” he shared, “the more I realized that music was really everything to him. It really saved him, and he separated himself from other artists around that time.”
The film was directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green, who made his studio directorial debut with King Richard, which featured Will Smith as Richard Williams, who coached his daughters Venus and Serena into becoming tennis superstars. It received six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, with a best actor win for Smith.
The film was written by screenwriters Zach Baylin, who also worked on King Richard, The Wolf of Wall Street’s Terence Winter, and Shooting Stars’ Frank E. Flowers. The film was produced in partnership with members of the Marley family, including his wife Rita Marley, son Ziggy Marley, and daughter Cedella Marley produced.
Green also spoke on the family’s concern that Marley is portrayed “in a way that feels authentic and meaningful,” he told The Guardian.
Ziggy Marley shared a statement reflecting on the monumental biopic. He said: “Nothing happens before its time, and now is the time for the story of our father Bob Marley to be represented in a biopic theatrical release coming in 2024. You’ve heard the music, and you think you know the man but do you really understand what he went through and what moments shaped him into the person he became…this film will bring you to witness for the first time what it was like to be around the legend, to see his pain his sorrows his joys and his redemption.” He adds that “the cast and crew represent one of the most unique creations to ever come out of a Hollywood studio.”
