Patsy Mount

Trixie Patsy and Barbara the best trio by far don’t @ me

Okay but I just have so many feelings about that scene I had to get something down. Firstly Patsy. I feel like something which has been overlooked a bit in the whole ‘Patsy hasn’t written to Delia’ thing which yes is awful don't get me wrong, is the fact that Patsy has lost her father. Patsy has now lost all of her immediate family-all of her connections to her past and the experiences she suffered through as a child. That is something that most of us, thank goodness, can't even begin to imagine. Patsy’s little wave when she sees Delia is so dejected. She looks rough. For me it conveys all of the fight that’s gone out of her, and just how fucking exhausted she is by it all. Watching that fight come right back when she tells Delia she wants to be with her forever is such a special moment. Even in those few seconds, I feel we can really see that Patsy has truly realised that Delia is all she has now, and being apart from her has quite clearly made her realise just how important she is. And honestly can we just talk about the way Patsy Mount, the girl who pulled her hand away in coffee shops and at the kitchen table, who even checks behind her shoulder in private, grabbed Delia’s coat and pulled her towards her in the middle of the street. That just conveyed so much utter desperation. Patsy needs Delia. She needs her and she’s almost past caring about who sees that and honestly I don’t think that could have been portrayed any better than it was in that fleeting scene.
