Inktober, day 24, DIG “Sometimes, it lasts all night. And I lie here and I’ll listen to the shovels and the picks against that wall there. And I pray the sun will come up at the curtains before they break through. No, I don’t pray, I hope. And sometimes, it happens. The sun beats them. But mostly, the shovels beat the sun.”
– Thomas Shelby, Peaky Blinders, s01e05 I love Peaky Blinders to death, and this is a scene that has stayed with me. Tommy’s PTSD and the ways it has affected him while he still struggles to be all he can be are part of the reason he is such an amazing character. Cillian Murphy is a powerhouse and portrays him so well I don’t think anyone else could have done anything like it. I don’t know if it’s clear he’s supposed to be staring at that wall... LOL I don’t think it is. I’m not that happy with his face and I wish I had done an ink wash here to elevate the values, but my brain is already pretty fried by now, so just...bear with me.
