motetus: (downton abbey / sybil/tom arm around)
[personal profile] motetus
How much packing have I been doing in the last few days? None! I have been busy with something far more important: TV. Finished Downton Abbey (♥♥♥), about to get started on the rest of Sherlock, then Walking Dead, then um... I'm sure I'll find something else by then. WIFE CAN DO THE PACKING. Also, the estate agents are being an arse with our forms and have made it impossible to move before next week. Next week if we're lucky. Hrmph.

Anyway, all the way through Season 1 of Downton Abbey I was torn between shipping Lady Sybil/Gwen and Lady Sybil/Branson (it took me a while to figure out why Branson made my heart go ridiculously mushy despite his rather boring storyline: a chauffeur's uniform isn't the only uniform he looks adorable in), but then there was that hugging scene with all three of them in the final episode of the first season, and HELLO THERE NEW OT3. :D Reason why season 2 wasn't so great: no Gwen. :( Why anyone thought Matthew's penis difficulties were more interesting than more Gwen being awesome, I don't know. I went searching for fic and I found there was a grand total of 2 Gwen/Sybil/Branson fics on AO3 which made me very sad, so I had to cheer myself up with some fluffy fanart of the three.

This is basically an exercise in entirely shameless self-indulgence, so impertinent questions such as why Branson is wearing his heavy coat indoors, why Sybil's hair is up in a formal style while her dress is informal, why aren't they doing their reading in the library etc etc, are answered by BECAUSE LOOKING PRETTY IS MORE IMPORTANT THEN MAKING SENSE, OKAY?




(thank you to [livejournal.com profile] demon_rum for the title! It is probably the most interesting title any of my art has ever had, because it was not thought up by me)




Now someone please take away my fingers before I draw the wild f/f adventures of the Dowager Countess' youth. TAKE THEM AWAY FROM ME.

It makes me wish I had time to rewatch S1 of Downton.

I poked at the OT3 snuggly-art you made for my story, but it was beyond my very feeble indeed iconing sklls to make anything out of it. But I'm putting that forward as the art that is the solution to our lack-of-OT3 icon woes. :p Just in more capable hands than mine. *is so subtle*

Awesome f/f 1860's costume porn with young Maggie Smith, be still my heart. <3

How's this? Not the best ever icon, as poor little Esca looks like he's been shoved to the corner, but it's not really the best bit of art to turn into an icon. :(

Hey, better than anything I came out with. ♥ Thank you! (Now I'm going to be that obnoxious person who uses it everywhere, all the time)
