agreed, why is bro so mad??? When I saw it on Twitter I just had to draw them like this! I do promise I got something cooking, I swear! lol

Ok, jokes aside now I’ve got something cooking that I think will be done like around late August and probably be shown around early September???? Idk you’ll see. The only little hint I’ll give is the color Orange and how did that phrase go? Veni, Vedi, Vici? anyways, I think it’s obvious, alright have a great rest of your day!

caesar with a veni vedi vici throw cushion on his curule chair live laugh love style

[black-king-white-knight]

Okay. Now that I've stopped fucking dying from laughter, I just have to give a shout out to the variations to "Veni Vedi Vici" from my first read through of Jingo.

Because Vimes is learning to be a gentleman knight by reading chivalric texts and generally making his new knowledge an everlasting problem to the existing aristocracy.

His contemplations of a famous general's motto, "Veni, Vedi, Vici," lead him to conclude how fortunate it was for this man to find three short words all beginning with V that fit together like that. He must have studied it. Maybe even invented them. Some alternatives must have been;

"Veni, Vermini, Vomui," I came, I got ratted, I threw up.

"Visi, Veneri, Vamoosi," I visited, I caught an embarrassing disease, I ran away.

Vimes can be such a little shit when he wants to be, which is all the time, and I adore him for it.

Rena (Re-)Watches Downton Abbey: Ep 4

Gosh I am so tired but I have time for an episode today! The problem with liveblogging like this is not being able to watch when I do not have something to liveblog on - so much for doing things "just for me", I guess. Now that Mr. Pamuk veni, vedi,vici and arividercid, it's time to see if actions have consequences. Huzzah!

The Episode

The fair is in town!!! And you know who else? Irish Boy Branson, aka the guy I remember needing a while to grow on? I liked the element of the fair as something that ties everything a little together! And of course how that event creates a little drama of its own. However, how awkward must this be - here you are, going in the evening after work, and then there are your employers right there at the fair? The people you help get dressed and everything? Hey, at least an excuse to leave the house! Mary's position within the inheritance is once again discussed - but I like that the focus is this time a bit more on her and how even with not knowing if she is the heiress or not that still concerns who is going to court her. Lady Violet decides to ask Matthew of all people to look into it, which establishes him as fair. Mary and Matthew talk a bit about her position, too ,which allows her to open up.

Matthew asks Robert a bit more about this, behind Violet's back, and thus kind of offends her, I guess? It certainly seems like a gendered gap vs power gap kind of thing! She is, rightfully, pissed and leaves. Mary asks her father why he is so adamant against not challenging the entail and Robert is all "girl, your mom's money saved you, so I did not nothing to this dynasty and cannot challenge it" - well, Robert, okay, cool, but really not so nice? Marrying Matthew remains out of the question for Mary. Additionally, Robert's love for Matthew's enthusiasm makes it a lot harder for her to entertain the thought of marrying him. Molesley has hurt his hand and suffered some chemical burns bacterial infection. Isobel Crawley just marches down to the doctor's office and helps herself, as member of the board, to something from his cupboard. But I suppose this is meant to show her experience within the medial field - and that I really like! She suggest he wears gloves and I am sure there is a moment where he...is not wearing them and people are shocked?* It turns out, as Violet later on sees him since he is not getting better, that it is not an infection but an allergic reaction to rue - and that wearing gardening gloves will make it go away! Thus, the moral of the story is - wear gloves. *Turns out this must be a different episode. Anna is sick, meaning no fair for her and more work for O'Brien. In a scene that, back during my first watch, clarified the romantic intentions for me, Bates brings her something to eat on a really small tray. It was so adorable!

Gwen shows Sybil she has been asked for a job interview and together they concoct a scheme to help Gwen take it. Sybil even wants to lend her her clothes. The interview is cancelled however as someone else has been chosen for the position (must have come per telegram then, right?). Still, Sybil appeals to Gwen to keep trying! Sybil gets pants made for herself. SCANDALOUS!

The Characters

It's so weird that Lord Grantham has no problem with his chauffeur reading his books as long as he signs them out BUT I remember there was a big thing in Germany going around that was appalled at staff starting to read more and getting library memberships - is it all a ploy? No - I am just shit posting! However I like how this episode provided more insight into his reasons why he is not challenging the entail (which, well, would still be a radical position back then I suppose). Additionally, the scene where Mary explains she will not marry a man she has been told to marry (but wouldn't Patrick have been one of these) additionally unites her and Robert in one thing - being stubborn and adhering to their principles almost a little stupidly. Robert's liking for Matthew, a man he - as Mary already rightfully analyzes here rightfully - eventually will see as his son hurts Mary additionally given that her father made it clear he will not fight for her to become the heir - it's a "misunderstanding" done right with the filming and the scenes, the dialogues - we know where all these characters are coming from and why this leads to trouble!

Mrs. Hughes is taking an evening off to meet an old suitor and, as mentioned in the quotes, chaos follows. I like how this parallels her privacy vs her life in service - we are also this time informed that the "Mrs" is to refer to her standing and not to her marital status, something that I was wondering about since I remembered her not having married before [REDACTED]. Of course that choice between private and public is her thing for this episode - but they do it nicely. She intervenes in the situation mentioned below and William rightfully tells her he has no idea how the house would be running without her. Mrs. Hughes tells Mr. Cars

The Daisy-Thomas-William "Love Triangle" is also further explored and I like how it shows nuances of all of them - Daisy being naivee and starstruck by Thomas, not seeing that William likes her. William taking always a bit too slow to make his move. Thomas, not interested in Daisy, still stringing her along, just to prove a point. The fact that this all happens in front of an audience (Bates, Gwen, I think I also spotted O'Brien?) makes it even more interesting - none of this is really secret, is it? It also provides Mr. Bates with a way to connect to the staff, threatening Thomas to stop teasing/bullying William. MAN and Thomas really does go out of his way to be cruel! The scene where Thomas asks William to do his buttons correctly and everyone watching is SO GOOD! With Thomas Branson being introduced, we already have his romance with Sybil teased - as he will be a character staying in all the episodes, I tried my best to keep my eyes on him! He bothers O'Brien by deciding to eat with the others because apparently the chauffeurs do not do that? He also asks questions which ,as we know, is always bad for a member of staff and mentions his disapproval. Branson also addresses Sybil during their drive, asking follow-up questions to her disapproval of wearing traditional fashion and is happily providing her with political pamphlets. Man, nowadays we need more men like Branson. Sybil voices, like teased in the episode before, enthusiasm for new and modern ideas - also in fashion! She wants to learn more wordly skills, though I cringed a little when she mentioned that one learns hardly anything from a Governness - but that might be my memories being too closely tied to Jane Eyre.

Mary Vs Edith Awfulness Score

No new attrocities were commited against each other.

Other Things

I've realized not directly binging this but limiting myself to 1-2 Episodes per day is much nicer. This show was on TV, right? I like that, it makes the suspense higher!

Beecham's Powders apparently still exist!

I actually watch the chair scene sometimes on its own because it's incredibly hilarious.

Mrs. Patmore trying to gently tell Daisy that Thomas is gay without actually mentioning it was also a sweet scene - she cannot really call it, can she?

Quotes

"I won't wait the table in gloves, I'll look like a footman!" "Mrs. Hughes goes out for one night and we all fall into pieces!"

"Leaving? When would I ever find the time?"

Cravity and Weki Meki for the ask game!

thanks anon! Cravity: Veni Vedi Vici

Cravity really got to me last year - and honestly this answer might change tomorrow, but the dance break. The guitar & brass combo knocks me out every. single. time. I think Adrenaline, Groovy & Baddie are close faves but Veni Vedi Vici takes it for now. Weki Meki: Cool So like, I don't have a ton of strong opinions on Weki Meki - and this might not be a popular opinion, but Cool should have been their Bboom Bboom. It should have blown up it should have been everywhere. I don't know a lot about Weki Meki but I know they were robbed. Send me a kpop group and I'll tell you my favorite song!

Come post presidential election 2024… heil to the Wharton chief firebrand -

more worrisome than an ovarian cyst

every race, religion, nationality, gender, creed, et cetera with impunity dissed brigand able, eager, ready and willing to punch contenders throwing his fist against rival – one nasty and brutish soul after reading, you get the gist how dictator wannabe lurching with tremendous oaf fish shill

blatantly, flagrantly, and glad-handedly zapping usurping power, breeding dissent soundlessly slithering, spreading vile disinformation onto social media platforms targeting undecided electorates analogous to casting dark shadows across the edge of night hissed tory revoked eclipsed loosing unfettered horrors.

Das boot trump out-

(oust him to) Waterloo

Eagerly awaits you

the bully in the white house and true.

Whit that, yawl get a lucky strike if ya keep yar show

as my Reince prescience foretells this poe

fur one quarter off hiz terminal daze starring down

(with bad medicine), thee ole scarecrow.

╰☆╮ Thankfully, I'm not a royal heir

to the power monger hoarders╰☆╮

which comb hen might handy when borders

caw zing a furor with his stark jumbo je lay bean orders.

I don't wanna don a duck dynasty outfit,

or that of a woodchucker but...holy mother f*cker

and kudos to any heckler,

who deems steam roller trump as a mean trucker.

Thus - for the umpteenth attempt to post

without any intention to induce rabid reaction to roast

my ass (albeit scrawny just to be cheeky),

I dick rye America will burn like toast the legacy of democracy transparent as a ghost

if....mister money bags - to the finish line

of presidential electorate, he doth coast.

My anti Donald trump screed continues tut try

WE MUST DO MORE THAN YODEL LOUD: (and preach to the choir)

I will not condone political measures

from that mane lion kapo -

jabbering indiscretion.

Herewith follows a poem (concatenated with above lines) I dashed off in a huff - to douse

dat auld don trumpeting joie de vivre

fin de siecle utopia of yesteryear

puffin sewerage bilge - strike n horror n ma eyes -

for opinion aye espouse

based on scary political fracas and looming nightmare -

whar mo' will grouse

to obstruct trump access to black keys to white house

that a looming presidential nightmare

doth not become real - gruff louse

he will crush sacred freedoms,

whence western civilization goes off bluff

analogous to a rabid cat terminating

the life of more'n Mickey Mouse.

DUCK AFTER DUMP - PING THE DON -

a pipe dream that will never take shape.

Air ring ma thoughts - no matter aye ham

juiced one twenty first century mwm ape

to fly (during pitch black hours of night)

on his witch a ma call it...

to escape temporarily the cares and concerns

of an uncertain world,

where as an outlier from madding crowd I gape

at the sheer insanity

trumpeting strumpets donning an innate

prejudice and senselessness purr

blind faith toward self avowed demigod --

seize whore viz Caesar - forever linkedin with maxim

Veni, Vedi, Vici - idolized statecraft motto

Trump perfects with his witch's brew he doth stir

his hair coiffed and puffed like it whir

wind blown kickstart ting mobs to stir

paying Deep Purple bodyguards to evict ruckus-causing murmur

oh...how the masses will let this country

go to hell in handbasket -

blithely purging the Iran Nuclear Deal,

The Paris Climate Agreement

plus rack up stratospheric global debt

cause zing this one measly mortal male to fret

Boom, boom, boom gotta get get

that totalitarian rule will force every man,

woman and child to march....het

turns a third blind eye speeds away in his foo fighter jet

argh...heavens to Betsy Ross,

Condoleezza Rice, Nancy Reagan,

Barenaked Ladies, and Goo Goo Dolls,

how did the fickle finger of fate let

this pompous ass allergic to law and order sowing, loosing, and fomenting insurrection crowdsourcing, wherever anarchy met

vacuums up majority votes across world wide quartered, (tattered), and webbed net

to finagle vox populi,

and groom hooligan nasty ruffian thugs

with smashed face as his smart pet

GoLong Daddy story short -
