So this is the geekiest thing I’ve ever posted about Endeavour…
I’ve been trying to write this thing about Exeunt and I keep getting distracted by details. This one is about the church where Joan and Jim get married—the same one where the infamous gunshot scene occurs at the end of Exeunt.
The church is called All Angels in the script. This is not the name of the actual church used for the location, so it was an intentional choice. The name “All Angels” is usually short for “St. Michael and All Angels”—and it’s not an uncommon name/dedication for Anglican or Catholic churches.
I’d bet money that Russell Lewis knew full well that St. Michael is the traditional patron saint of police officers when he wrote this into the story.
So as I was thinking about that little tidbit today, something from my long ago days in medieval studies occurred to me: For a variety of reasons that I won’t go into here, there’s a standard rule about older (i.e. many UK) churches dedicated to St. Michael. They were usually built on top of older pre-Christian religious sites.
So, the church where we symbolically have the "death" of Endeavour to make way for "Morse" is on a site that was previously…Pagan.
(Yes, I know it’s awful—but I think Morse would approve.)

by the way irt boycotting sanrio the fact that they had stores open in "Israel" in 2011 is no longer particularly relevant (theyre closed), the important thing is that their products (specifically the plushies) are made by jazwares which has a wildly zionist ceo
so rather than a sanrio boycott it's a jazwares boycott which applies to a lot of popular plushes: sanrio, pokemon, squishmallows, etc.

I just wanna say bc I KNOW you're somewhere on tumblr, to the teenage girl who attended Take Your Kid To Work Day at an office building in Ontario, Canada circa 2013 and had a conversation with a middle aged woman in which you showed her your Black Veil Brides fanart and fanfics and ship content and told her about different fanfic tropes including a/b/o verse bc she happened to know who Panic! at The Disco and Fallout Boy were and thus you felt the need to show her your bandblr ship art, that was my fucking mother and I had to clarify all that to her including looking my mother in the eye and trying to explain a/b/o verse without sounding like a lunatic.
It's been 10 years and I still regularly sent evil energies in your direction. Since you'd be probably two years younger than me and thus legally an adult now, please know if this post reaches you it's on sight.

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them
People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”
“Yeah!!”
“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”
“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“
“How illogical”
“That’s what I’m saying!!!”

I couldn't get the idea of Alastor holding Husk like that one ferret gif during his lament in the finale out of my head.

missionary where your hands are cuffed above you, and your lover is leaning over you with a possessive hand holding your jaw, their thrusts slow. every time he pulls out he watches your face curiously, and every time he pushes back in he smiles as it pulls a cry out of you. they've got a feral look in their eye as they ask you, "yeah? right there, baby? that feel good kitten?" and you just have to gasp and whimper and take it and
