#laura x carson x kate

[glowelle]

HELLO would you like me to sell you on Kate/Carson/Laura bc I have LOTS OF THOUGHTS

- Kate and Laura had a very Don’t Ask Don’t Tell FWB thing going on pre-duet. They both like girls and they both need the stress relief and hey it helps that they get along

- after Laura starts Actually Dating Carson she and Kate both separately have moments of “huh wait I kinda Miss Her” and after some trying to be Friends realize they’ve both caught feelings

- cue Laura, the absolute chaos gremlin that she is (idc that this show sucks at writing multidimensional women I will DO IT MYSELF) being like “hey Carson I think you would like her” and the most ludicrous and adorably awkward set of poly negotiations begin

- Kate with her years of experience in behavioral science trying to test the waters neutrally meanwhile Laura is in the background like “guys we’re all super hot let’s have sex”

- but also Kate hasn’t been with a guy before so why does she actually like Carson?? What’s happening???

- anyway this was Way Too Much to put in this ask but I have an insane amount of lore for the Blonde Space Polycule in my head and I think they would be adorable so either a) enjoy or b) feel free to delete this lolololol

HELLO I LOVE YOUR THOUGHTS

i literally love the progression and it feels so natural for their characters honestly

l'm so incredibly sold on this rn. bc i've seen all the fic about Laura x Carson, or Kate with Teyla and Elizabeth, or John and Elizabeth (lesbian Kate my beloved) but i've never considered these three but IT WORKS SO WELL especially the way you've got this progression nailed

the way Kate would try to be scientific about it while Laura is just simplifying the whole matter i adore bc honestly that's so them

i'm sold. im in. get me the tshirt.

[bfish]

hi moon! what are some songs/quotes/images which evoke feelings of love inside of u <3 i love your blog so i'm looking forward to this!

hi darling <3 i tried to keep this short (and failed) and happy (somewhat succeeded) here u go :^)

When Emily peels an orange, she tears holes in it. Juice squirts in all directions.

“Kate,” she says, “I don’t know how you do it!”

Emily is my best friend. I hope she never learns how to peel oranges.

— Jean Little

“I love you. I want us both to eat well.”

— Christopher Citro

She peels an orange, separates it in perfect halves, and gives one of them to me. If I could wear it like a friendship bracelet, I would. Instead I swallow it section by section and tell myself it means even more this way. To chew and to swallow in silence with her. To taste the same thing in the same moment.”

— Nina LaCour

I laughed and rolled over on my back. The sky was crayon blue. I pretended I was lying on the white cotton clouds. The earth was damp against my back. The sun was hot, the breeze was cool. I felt happy.

— Leslie Feinberg

I met you and now / I am kind to myself in my sleep / and how do you explain that?

— Laura Marris

And that orange, it made me so happy / as ordinary things often do.

— Wendy Cope

“When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.”

— Billy, age 4, from How Kids Describe Love by Ladan Lashkari

I love you. The sky is starry now, with a warm wind blowing. The roses, fossilized by now, are still standing on my table. A whole month! My little one, I am kissing you all over.

— Vladimir Nabokov

“I love swimming.”

“I know,” I said.

“I love swimming,” he said again. He was quiet for a little while. And then he said, “I love swimming—and you.”

— Benjamin Alire Sáenz

I will be able to make toast for her in the mornings. I will do my best to get it right.

— Nina LaCour

We ate, and talked, and went to bed / and slept. It was a miracle.

— Donald Hall

Then he said, “You made us memorise a poem.”

And I said, “Yes.”

And he said, “I’d like to say that poem for you.”

And it was a little poem by Emily Dickinson that he’d carried in his head, and maybe in his heart, for all those years. Over the roar of the 6 train, he yelled that poem in my ear,

— Billy Collins

I saw this and thought of you / it’s only small but I hope you like it

— @blossomfully

She thought, for one breathless second, that he might kiss her. But he didn’t. He lifted his fig to her lips. She bit where his mouth had been.

— Brit Bennett

I forget the last time I was happy like this. But that’s a good thing. I will be happy like this again, and so will you. It just shows up and you remember, suddenly, oh yeah.

— @inkskinned

Good news, I love you anyway. All the little mess and fuss of you. All the freckles and the stray hairs and uneven smile. I love your laugh and your sigh and the way you sing along to the radio. It’s all loveable. It feels so good to love you.

— @inkskinned

“I’ll take care of you.”

“It’s rotten work”

“Not to me. Not if it’s you.”

— Euripides, trans. Anne Carson

I would give you every hope back, do you know that? If I could, I’d fix us both a table for tea and we could sit under a sunbeam. And I’ll read you poetry and you could tell me - I do not chase happy, it chases me. I’ll feed you every half of every cookie. Divide up life like - one for you and one for me.

— @inkskinned

Today, the world looked beautiful again. I’m starting to remember what kept me alive last summer.

— unknown

Downton Abbey’s Carson and Molesley Spill Details About the New Movie, Cast Chemistry, and Why They Both Owe So Much to Theatre

Just when we thought the pantry door had swung shut on the upstairs-downstairs world of Downton Abbey, Focus Features announced plans for an epic reunion: a Downton Abbey film. Capitalizing on the majesty of Highclere Castle, the movie (in theatres September 20) is the epilogue to the six-season hit ITV series-turned-PBS Masterpiece Classic, as the Queen and King of England descend upon the estate.

But it’s the chemistry between this ensemble of actors (who won two SAG Awards for Best Ensemble during the series run) that makes Downton captivating—so no surprise the cast is full of theatre greats from Dame Maggie Smith reprising her role as the Dowager Countess to Elizabeth McGovern (Time and the Conways) as Lady Grantham to Imelda Staunton in a new Downton role. Here, two other longtime theatre actors Jim Carter, who plays the stodgy yet soft-hearted butler Mr. Carson, and Kevin Doyle, who plays the bumbling if not endearing footman Mr. Molesley, reflect on shooting the movie, how their theatre training was crucial to their success on the show, and the story of how a joke audition brought Carter and Staunton together not just as castmates, but as husband an wife.

What was the atmosphere like when you were all reunited on set? Kevin Doyle: It was easy because we all stayed in touch. I think it's quite rare for British actors to work together, unless you're in a soap, for six years and when you marry that with the extraordinary success that the show had—and we all experienced that success together—that does something, doesn't it? It creates a sort of bond. Jim Carter: It does create a bond. And the enthusiasm that you just expressed, about people wanting the film and getting excited about the film, bouyed us all up into thinking, "This would be great to make a film." When the series [first] finished, I thought, "Well goodbye, that was lovely, thank you very much, Downton Abbey.”  But then the pressure from the media and the fans for there to be a film sort of, never waned, they just stayed enthusiastic.

Both of you have done theatre extensively. Does that training help when you're doing something as long-running as Downton? Carter: It does. Because there are so many characters and Julian [Fellowes] writes very short scenes and a lot of the scenes are there to push on the story. You've got to develop a character that you can look after and safeguard, really. Kevin's the prime example of this. He came in as a fairly small character. He was cousin Matthew's butler who moved into the house, but because he developed that character, the writer and producers saw what he was doing and they sort of picked up the baton and developed it more. Doyle: He was only meant to have been in a couple of episodes. Carter: You learn how to develop a character over a long time in the theatre. Also, the discipline of theatre I think put us in good stead because Kevin, me, and Michael Fox, who plays Andy the Footman, when we were upstairs, as an actor, it wasn't the most exciting work. We were standing on duty. Doyle: The focus was elsewhere. Carter: But we have that discipline to maintain [presence]. The theatre background really pays dividends. And this is, you know, it's like a theatre job because you've got that company feeling. Going from youngsters—with Laura Carmichael, Lady Edith, and Sophie McShera, who played Daisy the maid, quite early in their career—through generations, through Kevin, up to me, and then to Maggie Smith coming together really as a company because there were a lot of big scenes where we just had to play together like a theatre troupe.

Carson and Molesely are such distinct characters in this series and really opposite ends of the spectrum. Who first inspired your initial characterizations of them? Carter: For me it was very simple. I was very aware that I was standing on the shoulders of giants when I played the butler because the butler is an iconic figure British literature and film and TV: Upstairs, Downstairs Gordon Jackson playing Hudson, Anthony Hopkins in The Remains of the Day, Denholm Elliot in Trading Places, John Gielgud in Jeeves and Wooster, there are all these butlers and so I knew what the role of the butler was. And I must admit, I had to go and audition like everybody auditions and I remember feeling, “I would be very upset if somebody else got that because I've got the equipment to do this.” It needed to be someone of— Doyle: Gravitas. Carter: There was an early line about “Carson enters in his magnificence.” And I thought, ”I can do magnificent.” Doyle: When you go through the green base door to serve dinner, especially if there's a king and queen, you are giving a performance.

Do you have advice for actors for how to maintain and evolve a character for an extended time? Carter: You've got to look after your character. You've got to curate your character. Not every scene you're in will be all singing, all dancing, but you just have to hang on to the truth of what your character is doing throughout and just hope that it reads properly and comes over to an audience really. That's all you can do. Doyle: That's a nice expression. "Curating" your character. Looking after it and hoping the writers will also look after it.

Jim, you got to be on set with your wife, Imelda. Has it been since Guys and Dolls that you two worked together, or have you worked together since? Carter: Well, we met in Guys and Dolls 1982. We did The Wizard of Oz, she was Dorothy, I was the Cowardly Lion.

Doyle: What, were you in Guys and Dolls?

Carter: Big Jule.  I was at the National Theatre doing the Oresteia which was an all-male production of it in masks. Five months of rehearsal. I saw these people coming in [to the theatre and asked], "Well what are they doing?" "They're auditioning for Guys and Dolls." "What's Guys and Dolls?" "It's a musical." "Can I be in it?" "No, you can't sing." "Oh." So, me and a couple of others were so bored in our Oresteia rehearsals we put together a joke audition for Guys and Dolls of "Brush Up Your Shakespeare" from Kiss Me, Kate, and then we got costumes and we gate crashed the auditions, not knowing what we were doing. We pulled a “gun” on the pianist and said, "Play the music." And I was the big one in the middle and we did a song and dance routine; I was the daft one who went off on the wrong foot and sang out of tune. And we danced out the door, laughing like drains and went back to our boring Greek rehearsal. Two days later, "Would you go see Richard Eyre?" I thought "Oh, shit. I'm in trouble here." And he said, "Do you want to be in Guys and Dolls?" I said, "I can't sing." He said, "Big Jule doesn't sing." And he said, "Would you mind being in drag in the Havana sequence?" I said, "Buddy, you've sold me. I'm going to do that." It changed my life. I met Imelda, got married, 36 years later, here we are.

What other fandoms are you familiar enough with to use as an AU prompt? Pokemon Trainer AU? Homestuck AU (they'd still probably die but at least there are lots of ways to come back to life)?

I’m not that familiar with Homestuck, definitely not enough to do an AU.  I read the novelizations of the Pokemon show as a kid but never saw the show or played any of the video games.  I did play the super-obscure Pokemon board game, but most of my trading cards were printed in Japanese (I had a strange childhood), so my experience there is, uh, probably not quite overlapping with everyone else’s.

Anyway, if you want list of all my fandoms… Boy howdy.  I don’t think I can come up with them all.  However, I can list everything that comes to mind between now and ~20 minutes from now when I have to end my procrastination break and go back to dissertating.  So here it is, below the cut:

Okay, there is no way in hell I’ll be able to make an exhaustive list.  But off the top of my head, the fandoms I’m most familiar/comfortable with are as follows:

Disclaimer 1: Like a lot of people who went to high school in the American South, my education in literature is pretty shamefully lacking in a lot of areas.  (As in, during our African American History unit in ninth grade we read To Kill a Mockingbird, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn… and that was it.  As in, our twelfth-grade US History class, I shit you not, covered Gone With the Wind.)  There were a lot of good teachers in with the *ahem* Less Woke ones (how I read Their Eyes Were Watching God and The Bluest Eye) and college definitely set me on the path to trying to find books written/published outside the WASP-ier parts of the U.S., but the overall list is still embarrassingly hegemonic.

Disclaimer 2: There are a crapton of errors — typos, misspelled names, misattributions, questionable genre classifications, etc. — in here.  If you genuinely have no idea what a title is supposed to be, ask me.  Otherwise, please don’t bother letting me know about my mistakes.

Disclaimer 3: I am not looking for recommendations.  My Goodreads “To Read” list is already a good 700 items long, and people telling me “if you like X, then you’ll love Y!” genuinely stresses me the fuck out.

Disclaimer 4: There are no unproblematic faves on this list.  I love Supernatural, and I know that Supernatural is hella misogynistic.  On the flip side: I don’t love The Lord of the Rings at all, partially because LOTR is hella misogynistic, but I also don’t think that should stop anyone else from loving LOTR if they’re willing to love it and also acknowledge its flaws.

IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

It’s time for the 29th Annual Stonecastle Downtown Hoedown! Everyone gather to Stonecastle recreational park to enjoy some small town country-style fun and help bring in the summer! You’ll hardly even recognize the familiar park as it’s been completely transformed thanks to decorating volunteers from smART Crafts Store [ @craftyemma & @artwithaly ] and Blooms Flower Shop [ @altcatherine & @bellsthorne ]. 

Here’s some things that you can check out while you’re at the event! 

Put on your daisy dukes, cowboy hats, and boots. Then head on over to the hoedown where Melissa and Laura will be selling and taking your tickets for $15! [ @melissaa-benoist, @ladylaurab ]

Take a trip over to our beer garden and hang out in a shaded area to pick up some beer. Be sure to tip our volunteer bartenders Tyler, Jennifer, & Kate, well! [ @tyhasyourbooze, @jenny--morrison, @leztalkaboutkate ]. 21+ only allowed in beer garden.

You can’t have a hoedown without some farm animals, head on over to our petting zoo. Adults and kids alike can have fun with volunteers Grant and Sara, getting to know some farm animals that have never been seen before in Stonecastle. Including a miniature pony! [ @kryptonitegustin, @altxsarab ]

Our very own, Matthew Gray Gubler [ @alt-mgg ] has volunteered to wander around the hoedown and take professional shots of all the events. Be sure to stop and pose for the camera! You might just end up in the newspaper as Stonecastle Journalist Felicity will be writing up an article about the event. [ @felicityj0nes ]

All of the music at the event is being graciously provided by Troubadour Music Shop. Be sure to send in your requests to Jana Kramer at the music stand! [ @jana-kramer ]

L’89ª edizione della cerimonia degli Oscar, l’Academy Award, si è tenuta al Dolby Theatre di Los Angeles il 26 febbraio 2017. L’Academy Award è il premio cinematografico più antico al mondo, giacché venne assegnato per la prima volta nel 1929. Le candidature sono state annunciate il 24 gennaio: i registi Guillermo del Toro e Jason Reitman, le attrici Glenn Close, Marcia Gay Harden, Brie Larson, Gabourey Sidibe e Jennifer Hudson, e gli attori Terrence Howard, Ken Watanabe e Demián Bichir. La La Land ha ricevuto 14 candidature, 6 delle quali sono risultate vincenti. Per un disguido, causato dalla consegna della busta sbagliata, La La Land è stato erroneamente annunciato dal palco anche come vincitore del premio al miglior film, prima che si chiarisse che la pellicola vincitrice era Moonlight.

Perfettamente chic, come per gli outfit dei Golden Globe e dei Grammy Awards 2017, propone un ricco book delle star in passerella con gli stilisti che hanno pensato al loro look.
