Skull. Gremlin.

He had no reason to know or believe that Anne would still be staying in the neighborhood. If she's gotten married, she would be gone. If she hasn't gotten married, the only thing that makes sense is that she would have gone away with the rest of the family she lives with. Even him knowing that her family doesn't appreciate her, she still lived with them when he knew her eight years prior, and who else is she gonna live with, so Wentworth would assume she is still living with them. He doesn't know Mary got married to a guy in the next village and that she would be wanting Anne to stay with her. He never even met Mary.

So given all this, he could not have gone with the subconscious aim of seeing Anne again. In fact, I think he must have gone only because he felt assured she would not be there. Imagine his shock when he learned Anne was still in the neighborhood!

Still, even if you're sure Anne is not going to be there, why go to a place that has very painful associations to you? Turning down his sister's invitation might be difficult, but he has lots of other excuses he could use if he wanted to: Edward/Harville/any other one of his many friends already invited him to stay with them, sorry sis. He could have delayed coming, at least, hoping that his sister would move out before he was forced to go visit.

But even though Kellynch has painful associations, it also has joyful ones. I believe that he agreed to go in order to relive that period of his life he spent there eight years before. He's a romantic. He's sentimental. Even reliving the pain can be pleasurable in how it stirs your heart to feel something strong. As Anne says:

I’m 33 now, and I still discover a new joke every time I reread it.

*starts thunderously knocking on the doors of heaven*

In the UK, the book of the peerage is called Burke’s Peerage. Burke sounds like berk, which means a silly/annoying person. So Terry took ‘twerp’, another word for a silly or annoying person, and replaced the e with u. 

Trans silvas very simply translated into german would be über den Wald

Trans silvas -> Transsilvanien -> Überwald

The Venturi Effect is a scientific term referring to the acceleration of a liquid through a narrow tube (like a jet).

Selachii is a classification of sharks. (I discovered this when my stepson got really into sharks)

The Malleus Maleficarum is a very real, very nasty and absolutely batshit insane book from late 15th-century Germany, basically laying out the procedure for catching, torturing, and executing witches. Its title translates to The Hammer of Witches. The other titles are Pratchett's inventions.

Except for Kiku and Yamato who are canon, everything is just my opinion but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless.

They were basically denying he was black till they had to accept it, using “he’s not black, he’s creole/french” or “he’s mixed so he can look white” and all these stupid and racist excuse to erase the little representation mixed race people have in shows, especially adult shows.

And them now using alastor as a punching bag for a white man to look “progressive’ and whatever is super annoying, especially to a point where he’s just plot tool for Vincent and has no character/lore outside of it is annoying.

Yes, I love when people aren’t scared to show how bad racism was back then without sugar coating it, but if the only times he faces the racism, it has to involve Vincent, a white character, and how he feels but never explain how it effects alastor and how feels just feels annoying and unrelatable.

I also DESPISE when they make alastor a whole walking, living racist stereotype, specifically when it’s making alastor, a black character emotionless, stoic and nonchalant whilst Vincent, a white character has all the freedom in the world to be silly, expressive, and fun falls into the stereotype that black people are “other” and “less human” for me, honestly. I get he’s like that in the show but I personally believe he made that whole “mysterious” persona after falling into hell to survive/fit in down there, and when he was human, obviously, he acted less like his demon self if you understand what I mean.

but that’s it for my ramble, sorry if I’ve made mistakes or it looks messy, I just wanted to get my anger out with this shitty ass fandom😭🙏

(Again, thank you for speaking out about this)
