The YouTube commenter who said that Carson was responsible for Barrow’s suicide attempt owes me £1000000 in cash!!!!!!! :’(

#suicide mention #Jesus Christ like #that is so unfair and so wrong and untrue #i know I’m weirdly and unhealthily attached to this old man character and this is like my issue #(getting so upset I mean)#but it’s still untrue and #idk just. it’s not only a huge disservice to the chracaters but also like…waters down the issue a lil #like he didn’t do it because he lost his job security and I think the show made that pretty obvious???#he was isolated and lonely and depressed #ALSO Carson let him go because it was his job to do so?? what do u want from him #and as for Carson like #he was harsh on Barrow like. at WORST #and someone had claimed that Carson was all wrong for not trusting barrow about the Andy thing #but like…why would he? Carson doesn’t know about barrows attempt to change. only we know that!#barrow had schemed and lied for his whole career at Downton until then and never apologised or showed signs that he even felt bad so of cour #so of course Carson didn’t trust him? like what has he done to look trustworthy in his eyes at this point #Carson is harsh and rude about it but that’s literally it and to pretend like all of barrows misfortunes come from him is #is literally so brainrotted behaviour #leave Carson tf alone #i could go on for ever about the double standard I’ve noticed with these characters but #idk it’s like so weird that some ppl will say ‘Carson was a bully for xyz’ in one breath and ‘barrow wasn’t a bad man he was just troubled!’#in the next #like #??? how does that work exactly #Downton abbey

"You remember too much, my mother said to me recently. Why hold onto all that? And I said, Where can I put it down?"

– Anne Carson, "Glass, Irony and God"

"You know what truly aches? Having so much inside you and not having the slightest clue of how to pour it out."

– Karen Quan, "Write like no one is reading"

#i read the second quote first and literally in seconds the anne carson quote came to my mind #love how i remember now different quotes on different topics #but anyways where can i put it down??#dark academia #light academia #excerpts #fragments #anne carson #glass irony and god #write like no one is reading #Karen quan #web weaving #literature quotes #dark academia literature #spilled words

#poll #bad history #no Baylie Carson you cannot be 'she/they Boleyn'#you are a nonbinary actor playing a cis female 'character.' because she's not a character. she's a real person #who was a cis woman #with no known evidence of liking other women. ergo based on current scholarship...she was not queer #and it's cool I think! more trans and NB actors SHOULD play cis characters! god knows the reverse happens often enough!#but. yeah.#interestingly the pocket thing was a stolen and misrepresented bit of worldbuilding from another author #who was very clear- when the debate came to her attention -that it was fictional and she made it up #(it was from Alix E. Harrow's The Once and Future Witches)#but Forster blocked everyone who pointed this out and deleted all contradicting comments
