Her attraction to heights accompanied her fear that she might be tempted to leap. Each time, she went grimly aloft to experience the possibility of a fall.

This portrait of the Ladies of Llangollen goes some way to repeat the slander against them: that they were an 'odd' couple, dressed in masculine clothing and mimicked husband and wife. James Henry Lynch copied Margaret Parker's secret of drawing the faces of these inseparable friends, Eleanor Butler (c.1738-1829) and Sarah Ponsonby (c.1755-1831), without permission and added the manly jackets, men's top hats and their well-known garden scene, and mass-produced the image.

Y llyfr heddiw yw 'Forbidden Lives' gan Norena Shopland, a gyhoeddwyd yn 2017.
Mae'r llyfr hwn yn gasgliad o hanes LHDTC+ Cymru. Mae'n un o'r ychydig lyfrau ar y testun Cymru a pobl LHDTC+ (fel Llyfr y Dydd ddoe ac echdoe!). Mae'r ysgrifen Shopland yn goeth a manwl iawn. Mae hi'n defnyddio ei hymchwil yn y llyfr i ddangos hanes bobl LHDTC+ aneglur, fel Edith Gertude Phillips (g. 1886). Mae Shopland yn disgrifio hanes pobl LHDTC+ nodedig fel y Eleanor Butler a Sarah Ponsonby, hefyd.
Mae'r llyfr hwn yn un o fy hoff lyfrau!
Ydych chi wedi darllen y llyfr hwn?

Today's book is 'Forbidden Lives' by Norena Shopland, published in 2017.
This book is a compilation of Welsh LGBTQ+ history. It is one of the few books on the subject of Wales and LGBTQ+ people (like the Book of the Day yesterday and the day before yesterday!). Shopland's writing is exquisite and very detailed. She uses her research to show the history of less well-known LGBTQ+ people, such as Edith Gertude Phillips (b. 1886). Shopland describes the history of more well-known LGBTQ+ people also.
This book is one of my favourite books!

👤⏰ and 👔 for the GTA 5 ask game?
👤20. If you have a GTAV OC, tell me about them!
Why did I JUST realize @spookydiner literally already asked me about husbandkiller? Sorry bout that. I guess she hasn’t gone anywhere.
She was born on April 28th, 1972 in Barbados and baptized as Lourdes Vil, though by the time she was ten years old she had been given the rather rude nickname “Dog Tooth” on account of the gaps in her teeth. When she was sixteen, she immigrated to Carcer City to live with a family friend, Xaviera, and spent five years working at a nursing home.
In the winter of 1992, Lourdes met and began to sleep with a man named Armand, the son of a resident at the home. With his help, she and Xaviera began counterfeiting US currency and traveling cross-country to spend their ill-gotten gains on untraceable material assets. Lourdes developed a taste for the finer things during this time, and she enjoyed the freedom, spontaneity and ever-changing scenery.
Unfortunately, a few years into this lifestyle, the site which the duo had previously used to make their bills was discovered and their assets stashed back in Carcer City seized. Shortly thereafter, she and Xaviera had a nasty falling out. Lourdes took her share of their remaining money and drifted to San Andreas, changing her name to “Mable” to be less identifiable. In 2003, she got married to Butch Stewart, the owner of the Alamo Auto Salvage. Butch was a neglectful and stingy husband, due in part to his distraction with Sarah Vincent, a member of the Lost MC.
Butch eventually got Sarah pregnant, and she gave birth to a son named Carl. When Mable found out, she shot Butch in his sleep, burning his corpse in the scrap yard’s incinerator. As inheritor of the estate, she continued to work with both the Lost and other local gangs, disposing of evidence and bodies alike. She keeps tabs on the Lost in case someone in their corner gets pissy about Butch’s death.
Mable has a brand of a heart with an arrow through it on her upper back, and she gets fatter as she ages. When Tonya eventually wanders to Sandy Shores in withdrawal, Mable gives her a place to recover.
⏰ 3. How long have you been into GTA V (or the GTA series in general?)
Since late 2020. I started school in the dead of winter, in the middle of full-swing Covid restrictions, coming out of one of the worst periods of my life. I played on a projector in my dorm room. Loved it. The sunny, lighthearted atmosphere really kept me sane.
👔 13. What is your favourite clothing store in-game?(Ponsonbys, Binco, Suburban, discount stores)
Suburban. They’ve got the best options for all three characters; the discount store is kinda Trevor’s place, Ponsonbys’ is for Michael (and Frank’s earrings,) etc. I really wish we had more jewelry options for all three of the mains. I LOVE those little studs Franklin can wear, and I really think Michael would look good in a watch. And we can put Trevor in nipple rings.
#serenityby#asks#gta v#gta 5#Mable Stewart#Tonya Wiggins#trevor philips#⬅️because I originally made Mable to plow Trevor lol#I’ve since had her evolve. she gets railed by lots of people now.#(significantly less smelly ones!)

The irresistible tale of their passionate, 50-year “romantic friendship” and the elaborate, beautiful home and garden they constructed made them famous in their own lifetimes, and they have remained a symbol of enduring same-sex happiness ever since. They are “queer foremothers”, as a newly rereleased book about the Ladies, Chase of the Wild Goose, puts it.

Well, hadn't heard about their story before!
Of course, someone has to say "I’d much rather think they had a happy and fulfilled sexual life than that they just sat and held hands" because there can be no happiness and fulfillment without boning (though no ace will be surprised to see this take...), and yes their status allowed them more freedoms, but anyway, here's some queer history.

Her ears closed upon the sound of Eleanor's voice assuring her that once again they would manage their escape together, somehow: nothing, no one, would prevent them.

Single ladies did not live alone. Sisters, past the marriageable age, might do it; years and years ago the Lady Eleanor Butler and her dear friend, Miss Sarah Ponsonby, had done it, but in the teeth of parental opposition. They had fled to a cottage somewhere in Wales, renouncing the world just as if they had been nuns; and since they were still living there and had never, so far as anyone knew, stirred from their retreat, it was to be inferred that they were content.

"In a certain light, I am you", or, how Anthony and Kate are the same person
So, I loved Bridgerton S2. I love the way Anthony overidentifies with all three Sharma women; and then also the way Kate can't help identifying with him.
He told Edwina that he IS her, and in terms of roles, that's true! But Kate is who he is in a different light - daring, judgmental, protective, self-sacrificing. She's who he wants to be! But also can't afford to be! But also can't afford to stop being!
As for Kate, she hates that she gets him. Everything he does, even the bullshit derby manipulation move, makes sense to her! And isn't that just vexing? She didn't sign up for feelings about Who She Is! Who she is should have been a minor footnote in her perfect plan to take care of her family.
In conclusion, I have made these HIGHLY SCIENTIFIC charts to prove this EXTREMELY INCISIVE HYPOTHESIS.

Movie Script & Video Production
Video Production sofeware:
DaVinci Resolve
Script:
In 2017, Sarah is 18 years old. She has got the Spider product. This Spider product records all her life experiences from her perspective when she starts putting it on her head.
She knows Spider is essential as it records her life so that she could look back at it someday.
In 2022, stress pours into her life. She has been stressed and thought she couldn’t do anything about it.
She needs rest to change her mindset through this difficult time.
She starts opening SpiderMove to see her past memory and randomly see what she did on April 2022.
She sees that she is looking at Auckland City. She wished she was there outside now to see this view.
Sarah wants to see more, she wants to see her happy moments to cheer her stressful life. She couldn't remember it until she sees that she is happy when she sees snow in the United States and Canada. She sees the child and wonders who it is. It is Jason Gates.
Her mood is feeling better as she thought that she needs to keep going with her work so that after she completes it she can do something happy again. She scrolls through one more time to enjoy her past moment before she works. She goes to the map and sees that she ate crepe at Ponsonby.

Photo
Eleanor Butler & Sarah Ponsonby (Ladies of Llangollen) (deceased)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Reports of being in a queer/lesbian relationship
DOB: EB - 11 May 1739, SP - born 1755
RIP: EB - 2 June 1829, SP - 9 December 1831
Ethnicity: Irish
Occupation: Diarists, noblewomen
Note 1: They met in 1768, and quickly became close. Over the years they formulated a plan for a private rural retreat. It was their dream to live an unconventional life together. Rather than face the possibility of being forced into unwanted marriages, they left County Kilkenny together in April 1778 and moved to Wales - they lived together for 50 years.
Note 2: The ladies were known throughout Britain, but have been said to have led "a rather unexciting life". Queen Charlotte wanted to see their cottage and persuaded King George III to grant them a pension.

I cannot help thinking that surely [the relationship] was not platonic. Heaven forgive me, but I look within myself & doubt. I feel the infirmity of our nature & hesitate to pronounce such attachments uncemented by something more tender still than friendship. But much, or all, depends upon the story of their former lives, the period passed before they lived together, that feverish dream called youth.
