#oh and the 1771 death date is just my hc because we know for certain his mother was still alive when he was 9

mary warleggan, née lashbrook, 1732-1771; mother of george, wife of nicholas, sister-in-law of cary, grandmother of ursula and valentine — person in her own right | it is a serious thing to be alive on this fresh morning in the broken world (and women know what it is to endure)

#poldark #george warleggan #the last picture is demelza at cardew and gosh if you haven't watched that deleted scene i'm BEGGING you to do so #it really shows just how absolutely gorgeous cardew is and what good taste mary and george had/have #so light and airy and bright #and the fact that they deleted demelza listening to the conversation but kept the actual conversation in really makes me wonder #whether it can be taken as canon that demelza is actually outside the door or if she never went to cardew at all #anyway i love that scene and i wish demelza and george had had more interactions and that they had slept together to make ross #angry at the bodrugan party 💅they deserve some nice hate sex #ANYWAY the point is: i love mary lashbrook with all my heart #her last name just SCREAMS 'free spirit who loves the open moors and stormy weather' and i would die for her #please just imagine her taking little george for walks through cardew's deer park and the rose gardens #and pointing fish out to him in the pond #since her death he doesn't like to go for walks in nature anymore #not even the performative walks in hyde park #he fills cardew with flowers in her honour but there's no magic for him left in them anymore #let society say of him what it likes #mine #oh and the 1771 death date is just my hc because we know for certain his mother was still alive when he was 9 #and then ross' mother died in 1770 #and i love the idea of little george being like 'oh that's terrible.. but at least i still have my mum' #and then a year later the same thing happens to him #and by 'love the idea of' i mean 'it absolutely annihilates me <333
