So this doesn’t fit into a theme but I’d never seen it before… and it’s adorable 🥰

This could be just a picture for many but for me is...

I'm trying not to go there but my mind wanders easily...

Morse + Jumpers.

When your friend brought you home the other night, I didn’t see a coward. Just a man beat up too often and for too long, maybe. You’re not yellow. You’re just blue.

Endeavour Morse: brave + terrified

endeavour is insane because it's like what if a man who was made of so much brilliance and love and tragedy and fear and kindness looked at the world and asked, can i have one person who loves me? and the world said not one person will ever love you without one day wishing they hadn't. their love will wreak destruction on you and yours on them. and even when she stands before you with tears in her eyes and her hand on your face and you ask is it alright? is it alright that i love her this much? the answer will be no.

ENDEAVOUR (2012 - 2023)

ENDEAVOUR First and Last

[too-antigonish]

So this is the geekiest thing I’ve ever posted about Endeavour…

I’ve been trying to write this thing about Exeunt and I keep getting distracted by details. This one is about the church where Joan and Jim get married—the same one where the infamous gunshot scene occurs at the end of Exeunt.  

The church is called All Angels in the script. This is not the name of the actual church used for the location, so it was an intentional choice. The name “All Angels” is usually short for “St. Michael and All Angels”—and it’s not an uncommon name/dedication for Anglican or Catholic churches.  

I’d bet money that Russell Lewis knew full well that St. Michael is the traditional patron saint of police officers when he wrote this into the story. 

So as I was thinking about that little tidbit today, something from my long ago days in medieval studies occurred to me: For a variety of reasons that I won’t go into here, there’s a standard rule about older (i.e. many UK) churches dedicated to St. Michael. They were usually built on top of older pre-Christian religious sites.

So, the church where we symbolically have the "death" of Endeavour to make way for "Morse" is on a site that was previously…Pagan.

(Yes, I know it’s awful—but I think Morse would approve.)

Returning to the original intent of Fidget Fridays

(p e n p o r n fidgets)

[season-77]

Do I see correctly? That hideous white vest appeared not only in Endeavor?

It appeared in 'The Take' ...

it was also in 'Dread' ...

And, horror of horrors, it's even here... under the famous iconic blue linen shirt... this is sheer sacrilege, ladies and gentlemen!

[jessieren]

Following the brilliant hideous white vest analysis yesterday from @season-77 I thought Sunday should be all about the Shaun stances…

And so I give you…

1 The standing leg cross

2 Hands in pockets…

Variety a) coat version

Variety b) trouser version

3 The ‘we film in England so I need an umbrella handy at all times…’

4 The selfie with fans

5 The I can make standing in a graveyard look sexy…

6 The channelling my inner Morse hands behind back

7 The who’s that taking my photo…

8 The I’m fucking freezing, can we film when it’s warmer

9 and the ‘they’ve written what about me on Tumblr
