“I found out I was in love with you, winter before last,” she said. “I wasn’t going to say anything about it because - well, you know. If you felt anything like that for me, you’d have known I did. But it wasn’t both of us. So there was no good in it. But then, when you told us you’re leaving… At first I thought, all the more reason to say nothing. But then I thought, that wouldn’t be fair. To me, partly. Love has a right to be spoken. And you have a right to know that somebody loves you. That somebody has loved you, could love you. We all need to know that. Maybe it’s what we need most.”
why don’t you read a poem about the sunrise written 5 centuries ago and contemplate the fact that we have been writing about the same sun for centuries upon centuries and then maybe you’ll calm down
okay but has anyone thought about Edna Skiffins? And how often Spike uses her as a way to get information or as a distraction? Like, imagine it's often enough that one day, the band is at the pub and Bea just overhears some bloke from the docks saying, "don't do that mate, didn't you hear about Edna Skiffins?"
And they don't even realize she's everywhere, spread like butter across the grapevine - having done everything from pickpocketing to piracy - her name uttered as a cautionary tale among every social circle.
Years later, kids these days whisper creepy stories about her around campfires like an urban legend. Eventually, Edna gets her own teen slasher movie and she earns her place amongst the greats: Freddie, Jason, Michael ... and Edna Skiffins from 19th Century London, a woman of shenanigans and crime 💀💀💀
