what's your favorite episode of 4?
Season 1 episode 7 when Claire and Jamie first fall in love 😍
what is your favorite season of 5?
Season 2 though I need to finish it. Also I heard that the show fixed their problems from s1. Finally a show that listens to fans
what's your favorite relationship in 3?
Surprisingly not a romance but it's charlotte and Georgiana
who is your anti relationship in 2?
Any male non canon ship. We already have a beautiful mlm ship so I'd rather that than shipping Mal or Kaz with a villain

The day after Christmas 2020

I saw the gifs here and was intrigued
who is your favorite actor in 4?
Sam Hueghan my love

1 of course hence my url and icon

1 I still have to see Sanditon s3
if you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?
All the absuers romanov style
how would you kill off your favorite character in 5?
I wouldn't be able too. Though the person I wouldn't mind offing isn't a favorite. But I'd get rid of them so Georgia can be with Joe 😁
would a 3/4 crossover work?
No two different times in history
pair two characters in 1 that would make an unlikely, but strangely okay couple
Daphne and George? They'd be cute and she would definitely support his mental health. Also he wants to have children.
overall, which show has the better cast, 3 or 5?
5 I care about more of the cast in outlander I only care about Sam and Cat
I tag @literaetures @jonathxnbaileys @prettybridgertons @kdlavs @barbiexken

what my blog means
tagged by @literaetures (thanks love xx)
header: icreepy skull hamlet vibes. links with my url i guess but that wasn’t intentional. i like a good bit of fine art occasionally.
icon: it’s an icon i made of gemma arterton as the duchess of malfi because it’s one of my favourite plays ever and she’s wonderful in it. john webster is my homeboy.
my content: gosh who really knows at this point. i try to keep things classy. period dramas, art, photography, basically anything pretty, but then add a pinch of my latest actor obsession and there you go. mostly british tv series and actors, hence the period drama love. i don’t really have a theme, i couldn’t keep it up i’m sure. i just reblog what i like.
background color: it’s a nice simple white, because that’s clean and easy to read from.
letter color: the same pale yellow as the background of my icon, just to tie things together. yellow is my favourite colour.
url: rosncrntz is rosencrantz with some letters taken out. i love shakespeare, as may be obviously, and hamlet is one of my favourite plays. i also absolutely love love love tom stoppard’s rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead. funnily enough, my favourite character in that is guildenstern, but rosencrantz has a better name so there. also, rosencrantz has my favourite line in hamlet: ‘take you me for a sponge, my lord?’
blog title: 'loyaulte me lie’ meaning ‘loyalty binds me’. it was king richard iii’s motto, and i’m a big ol’ ricardian so i can’t resist my lovely plantaganet.
tagging: @murraywalker @verecunda @tiffanyachings @vicivefallen @davinciae and anyone else who wants to give this a go!! <3
