I'm beginning to think that eucatastrophe may be one of the most important elements of a true Christmas story.
When Scrooge wakes up and discovers that it's still Christmas morning and he can spread the joy of Christmas and make everything right before it's too late.
When the Grinch returns to Whoville and gives all their presents and decorations and the feast back to them.
When Kevin McCallister's family comes back home just in time for Christmas - not only his mom who's been trying so hard to make it back, but also the rest of them who had to wait for the next flight - and the old man gets his family back too.
And especially, especially, when George Bailey gets to live again, and discovers that everyone in town has been pitching in what they can to help him pay off his debts - and not just for the $8,000! Sam Wainwright gives him $25,000 and he's the richest man in town!
Eucatastrophe. It's so perfect for Christmas because Christmas itself is the beginning of the greatest eucatastrophe of them all.
if you’re offline or away and i message you something (like a link to a meme or a picture or w/e) honestly just assume that i’m just leaving it there for when you get back and not expecting you to answer straight away. i don’t need you to respond with “hey, sorry, i wasn’t at the computer!” or anything. i was leaving u a gift for later.

(i know butterbur was kind of in the films, but he got way way way more depth and dialogue in the books and was like a flushed out character rather than a quick cameo)
Obi-Wan is like I got the kids in the divorce. They aren't even my kids. Or my divorce
Sam: I have a feeling they might be a part of the big three. Bucky: What big three? Sam: Androids, aliens, and wizards. Bucky: That's not a thing. Sam: That's definitely a thing. Bucky: No, it's not. Sam: Every time we fight, we fight one of the three. Bucky: So who are you fighting now, Gandalf? Sam: Ev- How do you know about Gandalf? Bucky: I read The Hobbit. In 1937. When it first came out.
God grant me the strength to do the things I enjoy
The thing about Wentworth is. If Anne rejected him you know he'd go straight back to sea and take all the most reckless assignments cos life just ain't worth living without Anne in it. Sorry but Darcy would absolutely not throw his life away like that. He has Noblesse Oblige (bullshit) responsibilities. He has a kid sister he has to in loco parent. Knightley would probably marry Jane Fairfax lbr. Tilney would be just fine. The sense and sensibility crew are so yawn idk but we do know that colonel Brandon suffered heartbreak but p much got over it by being grumpy.
Wentworth is 100% a true romantic hero. Anne was absolutely right to spend 8 years pining.
