i recognize that simon and edwin meeting and parting in hell is narratively very good and provides closure for all. but imagine if simon had agreed to try and escape with edwin. and charles doesn't have time to really question it, because anybody who likes edwin is aces in his book and it's hell, they need to leave. (edwin, out of courtesy to their third companion, puts his plan to confess on hold until they've escaped.)

suddenly the edwin harem of "supernatural boys who all hate each other but are attracted to that negative rizz" gains another member, and at some point edwin is going to have to mention that simon was the boy who sacrificed him to hell.

the chaos. crystal's bitchy commentary. charles going from friendly smiling to clutching his cricket bat. niko's whispering "200k slow burn schoolboy rivals to lovers" with heart eyes. it'd be chef's kiss good. edwin fleeing to his books and praying that nobody, but especially not the cat king, finds him because there has been SO MUCH emotion already. hysterical.

#dead boy detectives #edwin's milkshake brings all the boys to the yard #and he's like 'this is incredibly inconvenient. we must be getting on with our investigations'#charles: is there a convenient sea monster around? that solves all my unwanted guest problems #jenny: nobody expects me to be a queer role model to them right?#jenny: because fuck you all if so #niko: i have so much manga that can do that for you #jenny: ... you know what? it's fine. i'll do it #jenny: first things first #jenny: do NOT treat niko's manga as a how to be gay guide #jenny: do NOT let her matchmake #jenny: and do NOT think that means it's fair game to be a bitchy old queen at her #edwin in the background: i would never! niko is a delight and a gift and i'm happy she's here #jenny: because unlike you free-loading fucks niko pays rent on time and in acceptable currency #simon: why are all the cats glaring at me?#crystal: i need popcorn for this #night nurse: [full scottish outrage] why are the lost children multiplying? i sent you to hell not a bloody football pitch

Y’all. I am cackling over here about Polin fans complaining about the lead couple not getting enough screen time and too many stupid subplots.

Welcome to Shondaland hell, kids! No one gets what they want.

#bridgerton #polin #kanthony #no one is happy #Bridgerton spoilers #why did Portia not tell her children how babies were made?#she and Violet both belong to the awkward mom club #that balloon scene was awkward and greggy should have been in the basket for extra drama #why isn’t John Scottish?#this slow burn quiet thing isn’t translating well on screen #I keep think Lady Arnold is Kate McKinnon #why is the queen a terrible matchmaker?#she’s 0/4 since Edwina didn’t marry the prince

Time Travel Question : Murder and Disappearance Edition I

Given that Judge Crater, Roanoke, and the Dyatlov Pass Incident are credibly solved, though not 100% provable, I'm leaving them out in favor of things ,ore mysterious. I almost left out Amelia Earhart, but the evidence there is sketchier.

Some people were a little confused. Edward V and Richard of Shrewsbury are the Princes in the Tower.

Milestone Monday

On this date, September 9, in 1543, Mary Stuart, at nine months old, was crowned "Queen of Scots" in the central Scottish town of Stirling, and would remain queen until her forced abdication in 1567. A tragic figure, Mary would ultimately be executed in 1587 as a threat to the reign of her regal cousin, Queen Elizabeth I. Mary's courage at her execution helped establish her popular image as the heroic victim in a dramatic tragedy.

To commemorate the occasion of Mary's infant coronation, we present plates from John Skelton’s 1893 work Mary Stuart, Skelton’s third work on Mary, Queen of Scots, all advocating for a sympathetic view of Mary as a heroic victim. Mary Stuart was printed and published in an edition of 200 copies for Europe (with an additional 100 “with a duplicate series of plates … for America”) by Boussod, Valadon & Co. in Asnières-sur-Sein, a township in Île-de-France just north-west of Paris.

View another post from this volume with more information about the book.
