If you're shook by Sam Reids transformation from Dale Jennings to Lestat, wait till you discover Father Ignatius the priest, Hugo Fraser-Tyrwhitt, Alexander "Sasha" Ivanov, Mikey, Ray, John Davinier, etc.

2026 at the earliest we can do it y'all!

In the meantime may I offer one of the most underrated period dramas of ever to me. I sometimes critique period dramas for putting narrative over historical fact but this one does not lie unless one counts omitting something because it is obvious in the context of the narrative this in one is more or less true but condescended timeline. Also, its primary longrunning theme is about doing the right thing cause it is the right thing (which should be a good enough reason), so feels relevant again unfortunately.

(Content Warnings).

Alright, but now imagine him in 18th century hunting attire, covered in blood - Lestat sat on a stool in his CASTLE, looking up like this at his brother after he just killed 8 wolves & Augustin is like “LOL, No you didn’t” &….

Dido Elizabeth Belle

Dido Eizabeth Belle (from 1761 to 1804) was the illegitimate daughter of Sir John Lindsay, a Royal Navy officer and a nephew of the 1st Earl of Mansfield. Her mother was Maria, an enslaved African whom Sir John met whilst his ship was in the Caribbean.

Sir John acknowledged Dido as his child and, from the 1760s she grew up in Lord Mansfield's household with her cousin, Lady Elizabeth Murray at Kenwood House, Hampstead, London.

Dido was educated and literate. As well as overseeing the running of the dairy at Kenwood, she helped Lord Mansfield with his legal correspondence. A visitor to the house commented that Dido's great-uncle "called upon (her)…every minute for this and that, and showed the greatest attention to everything she said".

By comparing the annual allowance Dido received it is clear that within the household her status was higher than that of a servant but generally below that of the rest of the family.

As Lord Chief Justice, Lord Mansfield presided over some of the most historic cases involving enslaved Africans whose status in English law was uncertain. When he died he was careful to confirm in his will that Dido was a free woman. He also left her £500 and an annual allowance of £100.

In 1793 Dido married John Davinier, a steward (a senior servant). They had three sons and lived in Pimlico until her death, aged 43.

“Can it be true?” “Of course, he sees what I see. His words are as clear as...” “No. No, that your feelings for me are so? That you would be my wife? Because, because I cannot conceive of a life without you.” “I love you. For all that you are, and with all, all that I am.”
