HI HELLO!!! You are a godsend and a patron saint, thank you so much for the work you do!!
I have an interesting case for you, detective : I've been trying to find a post about someone's cat named "Lord Mortgage" (i think), the defining feature of the post was them detailing a time where they heard one of their family members (i believe their father) saying "I highly advise against that decision, my lord" before hearing a crashing sound. I've been obsessed with it due to one of our headmates being Exactly like that post, and I've been dying to find it since, but I've had no luck in my own personal searches so I figured I'd go to the professional!!
Good luck detective!! - Nicky, from The Lily OaSys Collective
this one was hard to get my hands on. see, a few days ago i grabbed this ask and put in in my drafts. basically, i wanted to file it away for later because i knew i could find this one. and, i did! i managed to track down the post, so i threw that in my drafts as well so i could close the case later. but when i went back in to copy the link, the post could not be found. i would try and open the original post and it would be gone. so, i had to search through the notes, desperately hoping to find a reblog that had a comment included. eventually, i did. once i found this, i could get deeper, find a version with only tags, which allowed me to grab the (mostly) raw post.
here it is! what should've been a relatively simple task was made harder by the hellsite workin' against me. but hey, when doesn't it? i hope you enjoy! have a great day!
Post Case: Closed

IM SUPER LATE BUT OMG!!!! MONTY IN THE FLESH!!! ON THE SCREEN!!!!!!!! I was hoping at the beginning of the season that they would finally put him on screen at some point but I didn’t think it would be now. I’m impressed that they even managed to work Flambeau into this one. They really pulled out all the stops for episode 100 huh.

It’s actually really interesting that Walpole is the earliest source for this quote. I usually see Wharncliffe’s phrasing cited as reliable and Walpole’s as the misquote but Walpole recorded it in the 1740s much closer to the period than Wharncliffe nearly a century later. It’s become better known as “this world consisted of men, women, and Herveys” but I wonder if “there were three sexes; men, women, & Herveys” is actually more accurate. Unfortunately there is no way of knowing without a more direct source.

Lord Ormond | Cillian & Cassandra
The evening's blanket of dark was punctuated everywhere by burning torches, guttering and spurting by turns in the cruel winter wind. Cillian didn't consider himself particularly supersticious, but he a night like this couldn't help but bring his old Móraí's stories. On such a night, divine brothers dueled for supremacy, she'd say. Her voice -- gravelly with age -- would drop a decible or two, near-blind eyes narrowing as she leaned forward to make her point to the wide-eyed children gathered round her chair at the hearth. It had been a particularly popular tale with her, after all: the older she got, the more continously cold and so, it seemed, king winter was forever fixed firmly in her mind.
Cillian had been intended, he knew, to take the sleigh to the stables and then await the Malconaires' convenience with the other servants and, certainly, this would have been the safer route. Instead, however -- Cillian knew the Malcoanires' habits well enough by now to know without doubt that he hneed have little fear of them wishing to leave any time soon -- he'd crept to the hideyhole where he'd long since stored some of Lord Ormond's finery. Do nning this, he'd then slipped into the revelries, careful as always to avoid anyone who might recognize him.
Like many others, Lord Ormond had been one of the unfortunate souls to lose their lives in the battle for Astaira's freedom. With him had died a long and noble lineage, but Cillian was putting in some rather decided effort to take that House very much alive in the minds of others. Though, in truth, that was in no way his object in borrowing the young lord's name as his own.
Swooping in towards the food table -- Cillian was quite miserably famished -- he quickly liberated a piece of cake and, turning, came face to face with Cassandra Varmont.
Grinning, he swept a gallant bow. "Your Imperial Highness, well met." Straightening, he took her in and his smile deepened somewhat. "Your Higness -- may I just say how very well you look this evening?" In truth, she looked half an angel, her honey locks glowing golden in the firelight, her eyes and color bright from dancing. But, surprised as he was to have met with her so suddenly, he didn't quite possess the words to articulate that. "I suppose you must be enjoying this festive occasion very much? Difficult though it must be not to outshine your sister on her day."
