Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

Impeccable IC Quotes

Aubrey is #themostsalty about his life

Quote:This boy, then. He wasn't new. Wasn't one of the worst people in the common room, those rotten rich boys - like Mr. Jailkeeper - who could not fathom a world beyond their own farts. Was a good working class lad, so he'd heard. Had a bit of a weird looking face, and a bit of a weird thing for preaching. Still.

Quote:"You say that, Uncle Edgar," she said slowly, "Like you know my father. My father has his problems, but he loves me. He has raised me where my mother has not. I am direct like he is, I am honest like he is. The longer I am around you, Uncle Edgar, I see more correlations between you and Mother. I think she would be pleased to see that you likely have not changed since dying. If anything, you must be more like her than you were before."

I see that burn, it is a wicked burn. Claire would be proud.

Quote:On the other hand she had never publically entered into a verbal war with a redhead only to later marry her, so she probably did have the upper hand morally.

Quote:Ursula stared at her sister-in-law with a mixture of shock, horror, and just a hint of admiration. She could understand why the spinster - referring to her as an old maid was apparently a technical inaccuracy - wouldn't have told her, but it still dismayed her that she'd never had so much as an inkling, that they'd been through similar difficulties and yet never commiserated together. It was like finding out about Rufina all over again, albeit with some bitterness. How could Ella have treated her with such disdain knowing that she was no better? The nerve of it! Also, how had Ella hidden it so well? The boy certainly didn't predate Ursula's marriage which meant Ella had hidden the whole thing while living under the same roof. What magic had she found to suppress the physical signs? Could she have been so distracted by her own life drama that she'd managed to entirely miss her spinster-in-law growing plump? How many years of carefully preserved secrecy had just been ruined in the space of a couple minutes?

She wanted to ask who the father was but a horrible idea that it might somehow be her own brother made her hold back the question, also a regard for decorum and what was appropriate and not appropriate to discuss in public. Instead she settled for an emotionally laden, "I had no idea."

Just Ursula casually thinking Elladora has an incestuous son with Phineas under her nose and kind of being impressed by it here in Look What You Made Me Do.

Quote: If anger would not make him bend, then surely he could be motivated by something else. Maeve using her feminine wiles was out of the question. She had wiles, surely, but they were decidedly not feminine. Barnabas could offer him the next best thing: money.

Kris Lestrange owning my heart and Trixie's by calling Ben a nerd. It made me laugh for far too long.

Quote:Angharad let out a skeptical snort at the window statement, then reached into her robe to pull out her chib. The door was wood, and, even though it was pretty thick, it was a better bet that they'd be able to cut through it than anything else. Her chib was made for cutting muscle and flesh, but she'd just sharpened it, so it was as likely to be able to cut through wood then anything else. It could do a decent number on bone with enough patience.

Angharad Warbeck in The "I" in "Teamwork"

My instant thought was "She's gonna get them another detention for vandalizing, isn't she?".

The Suggestionizer (Kayte :P) in In Florida, No One Can Hear Your Screams

Did you know? It's not unheard of for rural Floridians to carry baby alligators like lances and yeet them into the nearest river. Especially if it tried to eat their toddler in their swimming pool. #JustFloridaThings

And a former Hufflepuff, though he wouldn't remember her. "Yes, of course," she said breathlessly, reaching out her gloved hand for him to take just before she realised... he had not been talking to her at all, but the debutante in white just beside her. Fuck.
