There’s nothing better than watching Downton Abbey S3E5 and knowing that the entire episode is so short. Like… it stops after only roughly 30 minutes. All the rest is just silly little bonus material

The true crime in Downton Abbey is that we didn't see Sybil and Tom's wedding.

Just making a little appreciation post for Lady Sybil from Downton Abbey. I rewatched it recently and was reminded how much I adored her when I first watched it. I was at that age where any rebellious, unconventional feminist character made me foam at the mouth, and being the youngest of three daughters I just ADORED her (also her death is the most spectacular bit of soap opera I can think on, and the show went downhill from there)
So anyway here's a "6 years improvement" redraw from That Scene. The og drawing has to be one of the first four or five things I ever drew digitally, and the first I was really happy with. So emotions running high

If I had a nickel for every sibling relationship that was actually in-laws whose relationship was even stronger because their person in common died tragically I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Rewatching the first ep of downton abbey before I start the final season and there was soooo much that I missed. The little seeds planets so early on between Anna and Mr. Bates. The great introduction to literally every person but specifically everyone upstairs and also a great introduction into all of the important relationships and the main plots.
Like I’m sure that none of this is new information but it’s just all stuff that I spotted just like half way through the episode.

Downton Abbey S3E5 demonstrates how a well-written death can affect the audience beyond the screen;
Sybil was a side character for most of the show, but she had her moments to shine, especially during the war when she was working at the hospital, which is pointed out by Thomas when they hear of her death. Thomas's reaction in particular is one that stands out in terms of how well-written the scene is - it would have been easy to have him be cold about the matter, considering his insistence that he doesn't care much about their employers in earlier seasons, or to have a mild reaction of vague sadness at most, but no, Thomas, who was until now always cold and cynical, sobs. He tries to keep up his facade when Anna checks on him, tries to insist that Sybil wouldn't have cared if he had died, only to sob even more when admitting - more to himself than Anna, really - that she would have cared.
It's an especially heartbreaking scene to watch when remembering that the only other times he had previously shown this kind of desperate vulnerability were when he decided to get out of the trenches, after he figured out the scam, and - and! - after the death of Edward Courtenay, an experience he shared with Sybil. The first two can be argued to be selfish, in the roughest terms, as they are about Thomas, but the latter two and the pure grief he displays for both someone he was romantically interested in and someone he pretended not to care about speaks volumes in terms of who Sybil was, and that even after she is dead already. It's fascinating to see the scene in this light, how 'even' someone like Thomas, someone with little regard for the upper class, was touched by Sybil's life and death to such a degree that he will openly show this amount of pain and general emotion over her loss.
Alongside Thomas's, there are other particularly touching moments in this episode as well, of course, with especially the reaction of Daisy - who had been in a bad mood for the entire episode - standing out as one that shows how the news break her away from her jealousy; Mrs. Hughes referring to Sybil as "the kindest being in this house" with this barely contained sadness and, a bit later, hugging Daisy for comfort as well pushes this further, even if Mrs. Hughes has been established as having a bit of a softer side.
All of these small details just in the reactions of the servants show how well this episode and the show as a whole are written in terms of how they handle difficult emotions and especially grief. The reactions of the people around the deceased are always so much more powerful in touching the audience than the actual death itself. Wonderful writing, here the same as with the deaths of Edward, Lavinia and and William.

DOWNTON ABBEY HEADCANON
In 1948, Edith interviews a potential new journalist for her magazine; she is young, but capable and ambitious. "I have always wanted to become a journalist, ever since I was a little girl." she says; she has dark red hair "My parents have always encouraged me, especially my mother; se said writing and typing was in our destiny."
The young woman is hired. "Welcome to The Sketch, miss Harding." Edith says, and her new journalist beams.
"Thank you, my lady. But please, call me Sybil."

Here is the angsty black chapter @ Countess of Cobert requested quite a while ago on ff.net. The prompt was black & Cora grieving Sybil after her death. A little Cobert, but mostly Cora angst. I hope you enjoy it!
if you want to send another prompt, here is the prompt list: Colour symbol prompts
