Anon hot take: SK can't write the aristocracy/ financial upper class at all.
Either he doesn't care or he is purposefully satirical.
Churchill, May, Mosley, Mitford, Tatiana + the Russians aren't only caricatures but littered with mistakes.
Even how Tommy's staff act is blatantly wrong, like him calling his housekeeper by their first name? They would be OFFENDED by him reducing them to the same treatment as maids.
He doesn't have the faintest clue of how to write them and doesn't seem to care to research it and it's embarrassing
I don't thinks he's being satirical 😂 Mosley and Diana (i think that was the bitch's name in season six) were so BAD, that was laughable (but those are laughs on SK expense) and so cringeworthy. And there was so much idolatry with Churchill all the way back to season one, that it made me wonder if SK knew anything about the world and the negative influence the dude had on it 🤷🏾♀️
Now, i think Tatiana (just her character, not all the Russians) and Frances were meant to symbolize other things outside hierarchy. For example, Tatiana is supposed to show him what a man with his ambition should act and expect to be treated and Frances was supposed to show how he can't have that kind of strict boss/employee because he never stopped being a low class citizen. But maybe i'm wrong in my interpretation.
But in what way May acts out of what her character was supposed to be? I never caught up on that and i would love for you to explain it to me ☺
Send m an anon ask with your Peaky Blinders hot takes!

its so important to me that artists remember they can fuck around. you never have to use tools as intended. you can always skip steps. you dont have to be organized. you dont have to be neat. you can put as little effort as you want into the parts of the process you dont find fun. maybe if youre making products you cant do these things but on your own time you can do literally actually whatever the hell. it doesnt matter how long you spend on it youve made art and its complete when you decide to quit. yee haw

love when men cry about body hair bc "it's hygiene" and yet 15% of cis men leave the bathroom without washing their hands at all and an additional 35% only just wet their hands without using soap. that is nearly half of all men. that means statistically you have probably shaken hands with or been in direct contact with one of these people.
love when men say that women "only want money" when it turns out that even in equal-earning homes, women are actually adding caregiver burdens and housework from previous years, whereas men have been expanding leisure time and hobbies. in equal-earning households, men spend an average of 3.5 hours extra in leisure time per week, which is 182 hours per year - a little over a week of paid vacation time that the other partner does not receive. kinda sounds like he wants her money.
love that men have decided women are frail and weak and annoying when we scream in surprise but it turns out it's actually women who are more reliable in an emergency because men need to be convinced to actually take action and respond to the threat. like, actually, for-real: men experience such a strong sense of pride about their pre-supposed abilities that it gets them and their families killed. they are so used to dismissing women that it literally kills them.
love it. told my father this and he said there's lies, damned lies, and statistics. a year ago i tried to get him to evacuate the house during a flash flood. he ignored me and got injured. he has told me, laughing, that he never washes his hands. he has said in the last week that women are just happier when we're cooking or cleaning.
maybe i'm overly nostalgic. but it didn't used to feel so fucking bleak. it used to feel like at least a little shameful to consider women to be sheep. it just feels like the earth is round and we are still having conversations about it being flat - except these conversations are about the most obvious forms of patriarchy. like, we know about this stuff. we've known since well before the 50's.
recently andrew tate tried to justify cheating on his partner as being the "male prerogative." i don't know what the prerogative for the rest of us would be. just sitting at home, watching the slow erosion of our humanity.

Okay but does Peri KNOW that Dev has a robotic leg when he shows up? Something about the fact that Peri's wand is a cane and the fact that Dev could have kept his leg and just had a cane for the rest of his life instead tickles my brain.
I mean he doesn't know immediately, he wasn't like briefed or anything, but he basically lives in Dev's house so he definitely finds out. Peri doesn't comment on or react to it all though really, there's no reason for him to think anything of it, plenty of people have missing limbs, a lot of people are born without them, it doesn't necessarily mean anything sinister happened. He had no reason to pry or ask and I think Peri's lack of reaction to it helped Dev feel a bit more comfortable in his skin. (Not by much but.. a little bit.)

I'm thinking about Alan and the hollowheads once more, help
Neither of them knew him the same and I can't stop thinking about it.
To Victim, Noogai was an adversary. An anonymous force to fight and lose against.
To Chosen, Noogai was a captor. Cold, unrelenting, and inevitable.
To Dark, Noogai was a stranger. Gentle at first, but ultimately uninterested and aloof.
To Orange, he was all of that and more. Confused, angry, annoyed, afraid–
And then he wasn't.
And then Alan became his father.
