Bit behind on my Christmas Downton Abbey rewatch, yet still hating on Edith with a passion.

New detail I hadn't noticed before: After she displaces the child she gave birth to for the second time, she tells the farmer she burdens with an extra mouth to feed (even though he is a poor man and already has children of his own) that she'll give him some money for the first month, ALTHOUGH HE SHOULDN'T NEED MUCH BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE ALL THEY NEED FROM HIS PREVIOUS BABIES.

This cheap ass idiot hands over the baby she gave birth to to these people, to care for and raise as one of their own, but doesn't want to even give them some extra money to buy baby things.

I'll be hating Edith Crawley forever. She's a selfish, worthless idiot and I cannot believe she survived the entire show.

"You're the better part of me that will live on" no but you dont get it. All three of Violet's grandchildren take from her.

- Mary has the authority, the lack of care for what other people think (sometimes for the worst), the self-esteem

- Edith has the looks, the cunning, and the loyalty to family trumping every other consideration.

- Sybil had the fierceness of convictions, the loyalty in friendship, the pig-headedness, the compassion.

Violet married into the Crawley family, mind you. But now, she IS the crawley family. It's current identity cant be separated from her legacy.

I wonder what George, Sybbie and Marigold will be like.

Chapter Eighteen of Things Given to Tomorrow

Excerpt:

“No.” Marigold’s quiet voice gathered up the authority it had been lacking moments ago, and Sybbie brought her gaze to her. “I suppose we can’t ignore that this is likely the beginning of the end.” Sybbie wanted to cry just looking at Marigold as she spoke. The soft way she stroked Shirley’s round shoulder, the softer way she tipped her curly head. “With Granny gone, it felt terrible of course. But for us to lose Donk, too?”

“Do we really have him now?” Sybbie didn’t meet the gaze of her younger cousins when she spoke, but she could feel their attention train on her all the same. “Daddy said that when the heart is ready, the body will follow. And I think his heart has been ready for a very long time.” She swallowed. “Perhaps when we were all around, when we were living here or in London and popping in and out, maybe he felt Granny was still here with him? Through us. The children. But we’re all gone. We’re all grown, and our family is –” She stopped and sighed. “I know we love each other, and we’ll always be family, but … we’re people who share more of the past than we will of tomorrow.” She chanced a glance up now and saw, plainly, that her cousins knew she was right. 

“Alright.” Caroline was the one to eventually break the strange quiet. “Let’s agree? We will do anything in our power, no matter where we live, to support those people sitting in there with Donk now. I mean it. Especially George, especially because he’ll be Lord Grantham sooner than I think he would like.” She offered everyone a rueful grin. “What is it that my mum likes to say? ‘We Crawleys stick together.’”

Edith and mary as old people

After 28 years of dodging the Crawley family gatherings. Edith is coming home for Christmas. Maybe she is a glutton for punishment.But it feels like the right thing to do. Even though Bertie her husband and all of her girlfriends back home in Australia think she has gone bananas.

She has always been the black sheep. The chubby girl in a family full of Disney princesses and incredibly charming women. Of which she is neither.

The Last time she went home for Granny's 100th birthday palooza in 1942, it was an absolute disaster. She smeared blueberry pie all over Mary, her dragon lady older sister.The look on the skinny gargoyle's face when Mary realized her white silk dress was ruined was priceless.

Mary wouldn't shut up about what a fat, hopeless cow Edith was as a mother.Edith deserved some of it, for writing that embarrassing story about her sister all those years ago when she was a teenager. And a million other awful things she had said in the heat of the moment. But Mary should have left Bertie out of it.

Luckily,granny and her friends were pretty tipsy and completely deaf. Thank God, nobody heard what Mary said about Bertie's strong feminine side.It would have ruined both of their lives.People were really funny about that sort of thing now.Even with all this talk about free love.It was true he liked to crossdress and sometimes very discreetly meet with men. He had told her before they got engaged and she hadn't cared.As long he never left her and she didn't have to meet or hear about them.Bertie helped cover up her daughter being born out of wedlock. Very few men would have done that back then. He was good to both of them and helped her make the big decisions in the marriage which made her rather panicky. And he bought her flowers just because.

Which no man had ever did before.Edith is not making this trip for herself.Honestly, she would rather stay put surrounded by fans and friends who adore her.The great neices and nephews only knew her as the old lady who writes mystery novels and plays that sent them bizarre gifts from all the places she and Bertie had traveled to.

Marigold, her daughter is hosting the Christmas party at her house in Beverly Hills, California this year. She has had a rough year with that divorce and that jealous crackpot trying to discredit her work.He was proven wrong and settled out of court ,but still. It has been all about Edith for a long time,which isn't right. Rose said that last year,When they were on a trip to India when Edith struggled to make excuses yet again for Christmas.

Rose didn't understand what the fight was about and thought Edith hated her.Even though Rose is in her early sixties, Edith will always think of her as the silly energetic kid who kind of looked like Tinkerbelle and always thought when people where fighting it must have somehow been her fault.Even if things should go bad , she will have fun checking out the Hollywood walk of fame with her daughter and Rose.Also she found a muumuu that makes her look 20 pounds lighter,That is something.

Edith had an extra bullet in her arsonel. She has been reading this new self help book called " I am ok ,your okay". which is really beneficial in healing yourself and dealing with difficult people.She was keeping that and a barrage of snappy comebacks handy , just in case , Mary started on how fake Edith's red hair looks when she waddled through the front door. Edith arrived in L.A. all safe in sound thanks in part to the exceptionally kind bearded gentleman in the fuzzy lavender trousers.

Who aided her in finding a bakery in which to buy a Chocolate yule log and a pumpkin pie that was open Christmas eve. He also aided her in getting unstuck from the backseat of that cab.Marigold was surprised and showered her mother with kisses the moment she came in.Suprisingly, she wasn't too irritated about Edith being a little late.But then,Edith is always late.This time it wasn't her fault.She was chasing the damned luggage all around the airport.

Marigold did roll her eyes when Edith said she wanted to make a dramatic entrance and that is why she didn't call first and ask for a lift from the airport.Maybe later Edith could hint about her making a trip to Melbourne.

The handsome widower down the block from them liked quiet women.They both liked to ride horses.Marigold looked like a younger version of Katherine Hepburn.She even wore the office shirts with the popped up collar,everywhere.Rose is passing out Father Christmas hats and showing off her engagement ring Garesh had given her.They had known each other when Rose was growing up in India and reconnected on that trip to India. And had been writing letters to each other every day every since.Everyone is present except George, Mary's eldest son.Who couldn't face his mother with his latest much younger wife and baby girl.Edith offered to accompany them as acting president of the black sheep club.

But he was afraid of what people would say about his abandonment of his mother and the house. Even though his brother Reggie.The one that came back from the war years later with the most insane story of why he had been away so long. Had major success with the beer garden and'' no shrinkin' violet beer label. And took good care of his mother.

Mary sitting on the neon orange couch next to the aluminum Christmas tree. Thin as a rail and Regal as the queen she was named after.Her older sister still dressed like it was the 40's. complete with white gloves and a blue and white polka dot dress with a stiff lace collar.Their was something decidedly different about Mary.The arrogant smirk has been replaced by a vacant look.Mary is muttering something to the aluminum Christmas tree who she thinks is a copper. Something about the beach and finding henry and her boys. My God she thinks it 1928 , not 1970, Edith shakes her head.

Mary is the only one not in line getting food.They used to play pranks on each other all the time.But she really looks terrified and lost maybe.Reggie needs a break , he looks so worn down.So Edith gets kid -sized portions of everything.(Mary never did eat much: you can't when you wear a corset all the time) And Edith gets her to eat and they talk while watching Charlie Brown.

The whole time Mary thinks Edith is granny.Which is irritating because she didn't think she looked quite THAT old.Even bringing up that dinner and medal of honor she received for saving all those jews during the war (it was way more than the handful ,mary had always said) didn't ring a bell.But watching Charlie Brown and listening to the cartoon kid with the blankie talk about the real meaning of Christmas. Nothing matters but right now ,even if you are thirty years too late

Ok i know i hate unnecessary spin offs and remakes and stuff

BUT

Downton Abbey's a different matter and I would love to see:

- a spinoff about a young Lady Violet marrying Patrick Crawley. Courtship and such, they're clearly in love, ends with Lady Violet eloping with Kuragin, being sent back home by Princess Kuragina, and then realizing that she was right to stay or something. We know he was a man of few words but they were happy. Make something with that!

- 19 yo George and Sybbie, 18 yo Marigold, reaching adulthood in 1939 when the world is on the verge of... well you know of what. Even more changes. Battle of Britain, kids sent to the countryside being in Downton Abbey, actual Mary x Henry relationships, Branson & Talbot motors becoming a reference in the motor worlds, Edith and Bertie happy, Cobert getting old together, etc.

- cobert meeting, marrying and falling in love (in that order) in the 1890's britain. Youngish Violet, Dickie Merton being a pal of Robert, even being asked to be Mary's Godfather etc.

Les enfants de Downton Abbey

À la surprise générale, le tabloïd anglais Daily Mail a annoncé le mardi 13 février 2024 qu’une saison 7 allait bien voir le jour, et que le tournage était même en cours.

[sir-griswold-of-macelwain]

I didn't put the canon child abducter (Margie Drewe) because she would never have harmed Marigold (beyond. yk. kidnapping her, but given the context it was lowkey understandable).

I honestly don't see Alex Green branching out into kidnapping, despite everything else he committed. He's there as an option because he's one of the recognizable canon criminals of DA.

This is all for a fanfic, but i'm only polling y'all as a way to see who would be the most adequate. I already have an opinion on the subject, just want to see what other people think. I might or might not go with the most popular option.
