Lady Mary Crawley summoned Tony Gillingham for lunch, convinced him to sack his manservant without an explanation, decided she wanted to test drive him, got laid like the queen she is, and then dumped the shit out of that man.

I was watching season 1 last night and I can't stop thinking about when Matthew says "I'm sorry I've made you angry" and Mary says "My life makes me angry. Not you" and that right there explains so much about who Mary is and why she is the way she is! She is angry at her life and she's bored and she's too smart to just choose clothes and pay calls and work for charities and do the season! She is made for more than sitting in a holding room until she gets married! So yeah sometimes she is a bitch to her sister (we can debate Edith's role in deserving the bitchiness another time that's not the point of this particular post) and sometimes she makes choices that are selfish but like...cut her some slack she is *miserable* and the only way out of that life is to get married AND it's not a guarantee she'll even get to marry someone she likes! I would lash out and be snarky too!

Ooh, how lovely! I’ll have to think about this 🤔, but my initial thought would be not Yew Tree Inn, as it sounds too much like the Drewes’ farm.

im stupid and clicked the wrong button, but i really like the fox and badger! its them (anna is the fox and john the badger) and also it kinda sounds like the name for a hideout (as in both foxes and badgers build burrows as hideouts and they spoke about building a new life far away from all their troubles - i hope this makes sense lol)

thinking about the downton abbey movies be making me mad. We never got to see the Bates family have a bed and breakfast or Andy work on the farm
