Text of the page (random words):
s edition of the bronte siblings juvenilia for those less obsessed with this family than i am a little bit about what that is in 1826 barely a year after their sisters maria and elizabeth died of tuberculosis after a year at the clergy daughters school at cowan bridge the model for lowood in jane eyre the surviving bronte siblings charlotte age 10 emily age 8 anne age 6 and branwell age 9 started engaging in collaborative imaginary play using the figurines from a box of toy soldiers that branwell got from their father as a present eventually they started writing stories and poems based on this play and formed their own literary society complete with imaginary publishers and literary critics the original setting for most of these stories was glass town eventually renamed verdopolis in 1834 charlotte and branwell expanded the universe to include the kingdom of angria emily and anne created gondal angria was located in an extremely hazily imagined africa the duke of wellington was a significant character in the angrian saga and charlotte s main author surrogate was one of his sons charles wellesley all of these stories and poems were written in minute handwriting in teeny tiny little books which they evidently made themselves this book makes these sagas available to the interested reader with footnotes and a critical apparatus and everything to give you some idea of how committed they were to this project this edition of the bronte kids selected writings meaning this isn t even all of it runs to 484 pages before we hit the appendices and explanatory notes i m about 150 pages in which means i ve just finished reading the spell charlotte bronte s first sustained attempt at a novel she was 18 when she wrote it it s set in angria and largely narrated by charles wellesley though there is an epistolary section to cover the stuff he doesn t witness the story focuses on the mysteriously compelling duke of zamorna i m going to talk about this below the cut tag because i found it fascinating this will involve major spoilers for both the spell and charlotte bronte s first published novel jane eyre keep reading i have read farther in this book now and will be talking about roe head journal which charlotte bronte kept while teaching at roe head in 1836 it s partly a diary and partly a series of fictional sketches based on the family sagas keep reading forging farther ahead with charlotte s juvenilia here are my thoughts on mina laury finished in 1838 keep reading 2 days ago 45 notes charlotte bronte the angria saga mina laury writing the butterfly

pov crowley good omens series part 4 of a nightingale sang part 10 of wild about harry summary both aziraphale and crowley wish they could have handled their last conversation differently but there s no going back now in real life you can t just reset the props and do another take not unless you have a time machine or know someone who does ten donna noble and harry watson try to repair aziraphale and crowley s relationship without causing the world to end it turns out to be more complicated than they expected but if at first you don t succeed you can always create a time loop harry watson is technically a canon character in sherlock but in this story she is essentially an original character from my wild about harry series and no knowledge of sherlock is necessary for the full experience you may want to read recovery first which explains how harry and donna met and why they are now both part timelord this story assumes that most readers will be pretty familiar with the canon events

than the one we got armageddidnt the 5 real themes of good omens that the finale completely botched i know we only had 1 episode and whole plotlines were scrapped but i was just left feeling so empty after the finale given how powerful and moving and profound the themes of season 1 the book were so buckle up for a long ride let s talk about it theme 1 human incarnate the book and the show established that humanity is unique because it is neither purely good or purely bad from the book most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally evil but by people being fundamentally people this aziraphale describes as much better than either heaven or hell this is one of my favorite sequences in the whole show and the music is soaring and gorgeous adam recalls the things in his life he has come to know and love his parents his friends his dog his home he makes it have nice weather all year aziraphale could feel that love at the tadfield manor heaven and hell tried to create an instrument of destruction but by putting that inside a human boy they didn t realize the strength of one boy s love would be strong enough to literally burn the hell out of him he told satan himself to shove it and rewrote reality to have the dad he truly loved the power of humanity s love is stronger than any immortal power could ever be this is the idea that would have been so cool for the finale but unfortunately never paid off as the second coming prepares to destroy earth again aziraphale and crowley could have teamed up with the power of humanity to reshape heaven and hell for good adam and jesus as the antichrist and christ born to end the world and instead used their humanity to save it instead we got the book of life arc and humans were literally left to dust theme 2 free will next good omens establishes that angels and demons are just puppets but humans are the ones with real free will because they have the ability to be good or bad even with heaven and hell the humans on earth always have a choice in season 2 they agree on this but crowley s main grievance is the inequity of it all humans have free will but it still isn t fair god made angels and demons and humans but the humans never had to follow her plan free will and the ability to recognize what is truly right outside the propaganda of good vs evil is what saves the world humans always had free will even if god was around to kill a bunch of them with floods or take their stuff to win bets or something creating a new universe without god wouldn t change that they would still have free will just less threats from above below i guess what crowley s established character really should have wanted here was to fix the inequity inherent in human society that s what is truly holding them back not a lack of will removing god from the universe doesn t actually solve the root problem here theme 3 our own side this is something crowley learned very early and spends the whole show trying to teach aziraphale that good must be separated from heaven and bad must be separated from hell heaven can do some truly appalling horrors and demons at least crowley and somewhat beelzebub i guess have the potential to be kind their own side is one where they have the freedom of humanity to do what is truly right aziraphale and crowley sort of found their way there in the finale but it was all rushed and aziraphale never really turned his back on heaven it sort of just became irrelevant when everything started disappearing what a beautifully flawed and nice world they could have created together theme 4 love conquers all what was it all for love god made aziraphale and crowley for each other because she liked to smile at the silliness of their love the literal only constant in the entire universe their love for the world and each other saved it i think the decision to turn aziraphale and crowley s queer love story into a tragedy was the biggest mistake of seasons 2 3 forcing the soft and romantic comedy of good omens into a queer tragedy was the instant it all crashed and burned now everything is tainted leading up to the pain and destruction of it all and the whimsy and lightness is gone there were moments of it but it was all leading toward the end and queer love deserves to not be a tragedy we have far too much tragic queer love in our society yes we got the south downs but aziraphale and crowley never got to experience that freedom they finally came together just to instantly be destroyed we deserve happy and fulfilling queer love that is sweet without the bitter parts good omens was intended to be a comedy not a tragedy and then this was such a cool idea they introduced perhaps the first time ever an angel and a demon performed a miracle together the power of their love could create magic stronger than anything heaven or hell had ever seen i was so excited to see the wonders they were going to create they ways in which they could have rebuilt the world better using that love if they had this kind of power doing a tiny miracle what could they have accomplished if they really put their minds to it god herself couldn t have stopped them and instead the finale literally revoked crowley s magic for the entire episode they sacrifice themselves for a new earth and people that didn t even exist yet instead of using any of their power to change it the god awful execution of this theme is probably the biggest letdown of the entire finale imo theme 5 fix it don t replace it this is so obviously established in seasons ½ i cannot believe how badly they missed the mark with this one literally shows us the horror of replacing the earth with all new people even children can recognize that just because something is broken it doesn t mean you throw it away and start all over they loved the world enough to want to save it the world is inherently worth saving flaws and all if you love something you don t abandon it the entire plot of season 1 explores the horrors of humanity and yet humans aziraphale and crowley do everything in their power to save it it absolutely blows my mind how directly this scene contradicts the entire message of the finale job didn t want new children he quite liked the old ones aziraphale and crowley didn t want the antichrist s new earth they quite liked the old one we didn t want new human versions of aziraphale and crowley we quite liked the old ones where the hell did that mentality go when they told god to create an entirely new universe season 1 said the world is flawed but it deserves saving exactly as it is season 1 said an angel and a demon go off to the ritz together exactly as they are the finale said the world is too broken we have to make it disappear and start over the finale said aziraphale and crowley have too many issues traumas to be happy we have to destroy them and start over that s why as cute as asa and anthony s love is we quite liked them exactly as they were angel demon trauma history and all they deserved saving too good omens has always been so special to me for how much it pokes fun at but also celebrates the messiness and wonder of humanity and love the 6 to 1 episodes was a major setback but somehow the finale still managed to drop basically every one of its most endearing and powerful messages what is the real world the finale is trying to make us value one without a god to screw things up sometimes the best parts of humanity always shined through not even despite but because of the heavenly challenges they overcame it s very clear good omens as a whole was always meant to be a one season one book story there was so much potential and missed opportunities and i wish we could have had the finale we were all dreaming of i will always love the world of good omens season 1 the book so that is the world i ll keep in my heart and all the nightingales therein via theniceandaccurategoodomensblog 3 days ago 1988 notes good omens season 3 spoilers good omens gos3 gos3 spoilers good omens 3 spoilers yeah this actually said it all much better and with receipts s3 just dropped all the balls and gave us this company and moral support granada holmes the norwood builder plaidadder it s not as warm and cuddly as the blue carbuncle it s not as creepy as the speckled band but norwood builder has always been one of my favorites and it s because it marks to me a significant change in holmes and watson s relationship in acd canon the catalyst for this change is really the return norwood builder is the first story set and published after the empty house as i ve said many times before the stories in the return of sherlock holmes show us a holmes watson relationship which is much more intimate and much more central to both of their lives than in earlier volumes hawkesworth seems to have wanted the whole first series to have that return vibe accordingly in the granada narrative norwood builder takes place three episodes before the final problem we have resident patient and the red headed league coming up first and thanks to some great work from the screenwriter and from brett and burke this becomes not just an interesting case but a beautiful moment in the development of holmes and watson s relationship btw in the discussion below i m going to assume that holmes and watson are partners in life as in the detective business and that the show only left that coded because it was 1984 5 if that bothers you bail now i imagine that anyone bothered by this has in fact already bailed but you ve been

plaidadder continuing the granada holmes rewatch we move to one of my favorites the dancing men this is one of the classic holmes stories and the best one about holmes as code breaker it presents some challenges to the would be adapter because so much of the story is about holmes solving the code and it s very difficult to dramatize that but anthony skene who wrote the teleplay was an experienced hand at the mystery adaptation and he does two really smart things here one of which would ...
