what do you think a rough timeline of Agent Carter is? Like how long had Sousa been in LA before s2? What month does s2 start in? Etc.
Actually anon these are all in the show. Agent Carter as a show is very specific and very clear about its setting, down to specific days, so frankly no guesswork or headcanoning is needed.
From 1x01, we know that S1 takes place in 1946, a year after WWII ended.
We know that the final showdown of S1—the fight in the hangar and Stark's rogue flight—takes place on the first anniversary of VE day, 8th May.
It seems the investigation leading up to the final showdown could not have taken long, so let's say S1 takes place some time around mid-April to early May 1946.
With S2, we have to work backwards a little. At the very start of 2x01, we find out that it is now 1947.
But which month? For that, let's jump forward a little bit. From the pre-arranged headline on 'tomorrow's newspaper' in the Council room in 2x03, we know that Peggy's break-in into the Arena Club takes place on 14/15 July 1947.
Based on this, we know that the season takes place in July 1947. Then, there's this line in 2x01:
Daniel tells the LAPD cop that he's been in LA for six months. So here's your answer, anon.
It was about a year ago that I read The Queen's Thief and my husband borrowed them after me and really loved them. I started re-reading them over Christmas and he came along behind me and totally overtook me, I'm still just starting the second one, and now we've gone away for the weekend and I brought it with me to read and he keeps picking it up and he's like halfway through while I still haven't had a chance to get past chapter two, and what have I done to him???
What's everyone's favourite flowers that aren't like. The normal ones. Like everyone's a fan of roses and sunflowers what's a more niche one. One you don't get in gift sets. Mine's sweet peas
@ellakas posting about Hairy Maclary reminds me of something I've been meaning to say on here for ages: there is nothing so wonderful as a rhyming children's book that really NAILS the metre. The Hairy Maclary books are a perfect example. The writing jollies you along every line, you never trip over your words, it naturally draws cadence and rhythm out of your voice without you even trying. Seriously, read them, whatever your age. They are a joy.
Conversely, there is nothing so depressing as BADLY metred children's books. They exist. I'm sorry to say, some of them even exist in my very own home from which I write these words 😆 Just. Someone please teach those editors about scansion.
Tell me your favourite rhythmical children's books!!
