Maid cleaning a massive chateau surely belonging to the richest people you’ve ever seen, and as she’s walking from room to room you notice that every single portrait is of her

I don’t think Downton Abbey gets enough credit for introducing a gay central character to a period drama in 2010, where being gay isn’t his defining trait. His defining trait is that he’s Evil.

They just don't introduce female characters with "Does this mean I'll have to go into full mourning?" like they used to

God it is a tough life being a downton fan and not giving a shit about 90% of the family plotlines. Just found out the servant's hall is a set. Now I don't even want to visit Highclere castle anymore. I do not care about the beautiful lavish medieval rich people bit I want to see the unfurnished plain ugly basement where all the cool shit was going on

Finding out they don’t actually go downstairs when they go downstairs haunts me on more levels than I’d like to admit

The stereotype straight men have about gays being bad at sports is so odd to me because gay men will often be so athletic for no reason. Once at a gay bar I saw a random guy do a backflip like it was nothing. The meanest twink I knew in college ran marathons listening to Madonna. I knew this other gay guy in college who lifted so much his arm was bigger than my leg. Drag queens will drop into splits and do flips from platforms at bars. I don’t think straight men really know what they’re talking about
