Ya know, I'd love to have seen Eliza and Patrick's breakfast date in season 3 episode 3, because there are so many questions it raises. Plus, I'm perhaps too interested in the mundane, it just really showcases a character's personality.

I'd love for some of the many talented ao3 writers to write and share their own interpretations, because I'm nosy.

Now, onto the questions:

What do they eat? Where? How long do they stay? Do they order in English or French? Do they even speak French? How well?

Does this also mean they returned to London together? Perhaps on a train? (I just love trains)

Do they have vulnerable moments? Does Eliza fall asleep in Patrick's presence? (Preferably on Patrick's shoulder, though I really doubt it. I believe she mentions she's tired, and Patrick probably was too.) Are they mistaken for a married couple? Is this when they start the 'married couple' act they do in season 4? Whose idea is it to go along with the scheme?

Does William find out about their shenanigans? How does he react? Same two questions for Ivy.

I just have too many questions. xd

Patrick's micro expressions here play rent free in my mind.

(I hope this quality isn't too terrible, I had trouble getting the gif file size small enough to post)

Felix Scott has been playing Nash as an interested rival to Duke from the very beginning and I just had to post a gif of this moment. The micro expressions on his face here are the pinnacle of brilliant acting. I zoomed in a bit because they wanted him in the background, so you'd really be looking in the wrong direction to focus on him in this scene... *lol I'm always looking in the wrong direction*

Anywho, I just had to share these thoughts with anyone out there who cares to listen.

What are some ScarNash lines that you have replayed over and over again while (re)watching the show?

[pannabags]

something something patrick having no one he can trust, and eliza having no one who trusts her. eliza struggling with the people skills and smooth talking necessary to succeed in business that come naturally to patrick and patrick struggling with the honesty and moral compass that are necessary to run a good and ethical business that are innate to eliza. them tempering each other and inspiring each other to do better but also genuinely liking each other as they are, while most people find them both irritating. the way they seem like polar opposites and come at things from completely different angles when they in fact share the same ambitions, world views, and long term goals. the romantic arc is right there.

Missing ScarNash Scenes

ok, so I’ve been thinking recently… why don’t we start a ScarNash discussion thinga-ma-bober on missing scenes that are canon.

There’s so many missing scenes that likely had some interesting interactions between them, and a lone person can’t keep track of them.

Which ones do you guys wonder about the most?

My latest obsession is Patrick Nash & his ✨hardcore golden retriever simping smirk✨

Analysing Why Williza Wouldn't Have Worked Out Through The Lens of a Pop Song

Hey, hi, hello!

This is not a post for the Willizas lol

I have no idea how many Stela Cole fans are among the Scarleteers, or, well, the ScarNashers.

This, I know it's a surprise, is not about Patrick and Eliza for once, but Eliza and William, though not in the best light, if that makes up for it, folks.

Stela has a new song called Blood Orange Wine and the lyrics kind of reminded me of Eliza's and William's relationship and how it lowkey went up in flames.

(I do feel I should acknowledge that, as far as I know, Stela's song is about a toxic relationship, which I don't think Eliza's and William's was, but if some of the lyrics fit, what can ya do?)

For your enjoyment:

1, just the title, Blood Orange Wine, itself: Eliza likes to drink wine, not beer, although she does drink whiskey, but usually in the presence of men eg. William, Patrick and probably Moses too (gosh I miss him)

2, I know it wasn't this extreme in the show, buuuut He knew the reasons I was scared of love - she was scared of entering a relationship with William, and I think the the reasons for that are:

a, he was her only family outside of Ivy, if it didn't work out, she would absolutely lose him (which happened in the end, and she didn't really get to have a say in the matter)

b, he was the only person she had ever felt romantic feelings for up until then

c, she had never been in a relationship, whereas William had been known for dallying with actresses, hell, he even courted her childhood bully

d, his image of the wife he wanted to marry differed so much from who Eliza is as a person, and Eliza, rightfully, didn't want to change herself completely just to fit that image

3, Told me he'd catch me if I fell, then he went running off - he confessed his love then upped and left, aka ran off, even though they were supposed to stick together since they were practically family, especially post-Henry's death

4, Knife to my throat until I opened up - again, I don't mean it literally, but he confessed his love, probably knowing Eliza wasn't ready, especially with the bomb that he was leaving for a year

5, He left me bleeding, now I'm freaking out - in that he left her to her own devices in regards to:

a, working out her feelings

b, knowing she was struggling to get cases at Nash & Sons and that she would no longer have access to Scotland Yard the same way without him, even with Fitzroy there (it's a bit redeeming though that he knew Nash was back to help Eliza)

c, knowing she had suffered a probably traumatic experience of not knowing whether he would live or die after getting shot

d, freaking out, as in she is sulking, or as she calls it, brooding, which is totally understandable, in my opinion, looking at the circumstances

6, Oh, I'm losing my forever, he only lets me down

a, Eliza and William were supposed to be endgame (still, I'm glad it didn't happen), they were each other's "forevers" right until they weren't

b, he only lets me down - she had to manipulate him in order to get him to help her, even though she needed his help, it wasn't (just) about her ambition

7, Wrapped around his finger, now my finger's wrapped around this glass

a, remember how important it was whenever they held hands or even their fingers touched?

b, in season 1, she regularly used her more womanly red dress to get him to do what she wanted, aka had him wrapped around her finger, because he wouldn't have helped her earn a living otherwise

Honestly, the more I wrote for this, the angrier I got. I still love William as a character, but they kinda fucked up his whole arc. Respect to Stuart for leaving, even if it wasn't because he saw that this would lead nowhere.

All of this, I think, supports why Patrick is a much better match for Eliza, even just as a friend and partner, but also as a potential love interest.

[queenthyatira]

now i see you've brought your wife! *thought process*

best reaction to that assumption yet! love him trying so hard not to laugh

[miss-eliza-scarlet]

"There's every chance this will be just a temporary setback. We'll be back on course before you know it."

The fact that Patrick says "we" instead of "I" here 😭😭

ScarNash in 2x04 (Miss Scarlet & the Duke)

Even in his introductory episode, everything Patrick does makes him better than William as Eliza's love interest.

Demonstrating respect vs disrespect:

William: Tries to shut her out of her own investigation. Acts like it is a big favor he's been manipulated into when he lets her listen to Fitzroy's findings. Don't get me wrong, Eliza does try to manipulate William from time to time, but 1) he don't leave her a lot of other options and 2) it's his go-to assumption. Sometimes Eliza is actually hurt or upset with him. Sometimes...Actually all the time she would like a little freaking respect thrown her way.

Patrick: Offers to shake her hand upon introduction. Asks her to work for him and is so committed he is willing to dedicate time and funds to get his way. Is so impressed with her progress he concocts a plan to steal her results. He acknowledges poaching the results from her in front the client, his staff and other witnesses, rather than passing them off as his purely own.

Compatible vs incompatible methods:

William: Relies on his position at Scotland Yard both to convince Eliza to turn over the files, and to pull Fitzroy into his investigation. Eliza has no authority to wield.

Patrick: Patrick blackmails Sinclaire. Goes undercover as Inspector Bates. Tries to trick Eliza using Sinclaire. Eliza blackmails Potts, goes undercover as Miss Belfry, DOES trick Patrick using Sinclaire.

Expressions of Admiration/Insults:

William: Calls her, in front of Ivy and Potts, "an opportunist with no thought for anything other than her own gain" and brings up Potts' insults: "impossible, untrustworthy, and unchristian." Claims that he's praised her before, but does not do it at any point in this episode. Instead of complimenting her trick with Sinclaire, he belittles her having trusted him in the past. Eliza, on the other hand, does express admiration for his rescue of Fitzroy, which William manages to be insulted by.

Patrick: Calls her "determined, ambitious, hungry. The holy trinity." Calls them "kindred spirits". Calls her "impressive" in front of the room, even when he thinks he has beaten her. Congratulates her in person on her "magnificent win" after realizing he got his ass kicked and says "well played." Responds to her rubbing salt in wound by saying "What a woman."

Even as the antagonist, he is the better option.
