hi robin! out of all of your characters, who do you think has broken the most bones? thanks!!

Probably Lavinia? I’d say May but I think she was more carefully watched in her young childhood than Lavinia was! I’m sure Daisy has broken a few bones but not as many as Lavinia.

Collection of MMU memes I made :):):)

I went to the bookshop today and I saw the paperback editions of ministry of Unladylike activity with the letters in the back. But I already have a copy so I secretly took photos of all the letters. Here they are for anyone interested:

Also ignore bad quality and my hands

BITB.

I can never express my thanks to @redbreastedbird for having both Hetty AND Nuala to be Irish/ of Irish descent. Being from Ireland myself definitely impacts this, but I always get so excited when they appear.

The slang added in there is 100%. And sorry to May but Grainne Mhaol is my pirate queen.

Thank you for making my day with your amazing characters!

Would Daisy want kids with Amina?

Two answers to this, both kind of the same, and then one more version that’s a bit different!

The first is no, purely because of when the stories are set. Daisy doesn’t know it’s possible to want that kind of life for herself as a lesbian - even the idea of remaining with someone romantically throughout her life is almost unthinkable because there were just no rights for queer women in the 1940s. Lesbianism wasn’t criminalised in the UK, but it was just a legal black hole. Queer women legally did not exist. (Sorry, a downer to start on).

The second is still no, but that’s more because of who Daisy is. Even imagining her in 2024 I can’t see her wanting biological kids, or being interested in pursuing formal adoption. I don’t think she’s very maternal - she’s got a lot going on with her life and she’s very contented, and kids just don’t come into that.

BUT, with all that said … I think that she will probably end up caring for children in her lifetime. She has examples of people who are not her parents who have parented her better than her biological parents ever could - Uncle Felix and Aunt Lucy, the Chief Inspector, even Bertie in a way - and I think she’d naturally bring that energy to her relationships with younger generations. I can imagine her taking in a queer kid who needs help, or becoming the parental figure for her niece Tess - she will parent, in her own way, and she will have people who think of her as their mentor. She just won’t give birth to anyone!

anyone else scared Alexander is going to die?

Just the way Robin has been talking about him and Hazel and Alexander's relationship as well as "varying levels of peril" in the newsletter..

He is a soldier during world war 2 (I think it was mentioned navy or something?) I feel like he's the most likely of the mmu cast but it would be so so tragic.
