A request to add the tear/rip on Big Anne’s sleeve during sad-sex to a future podcast. It was briefly mentioned but now I have to know! #did ann walker do it?? 🌈😇
PROBABLY!!! But lol that hole is so tiny (?) so, what, did she do it with her teeth?? NOW I’M INTRIGUED.
I think open coat Anne Lister from the London trip with Mariana isn't talked about enough. Such a great, casual look
DON’T WORRY, ANON!! We devote several minutes in our episode 7 podcast to SHIP CAPTAIN ANNE aka my second favorite Anne Lister to lust after (behind Low Pony Anne, ofc).
But also, Pirate Anne, amirite @we-are-all-lady-women???
I thought the new episode was released today (Saturday) because last week’s Ep is dated 7/20 and today is 7/27 — but the point is [Ann stutter] I’m looking forward to the next podcast! ❤️🌈 #butwait #itsepisode6 #ohgod #ohno #heyho
Oh no! Yeah, always Sundays. Good news is you don’t have to wait too long at this point. Bad news it’s episode 6. And I’d say “oh god, oh no, hey ho” is pretty damn accurate. It. Was. Rough.

GENTLEMAN JACK // Anne & Vere vs Anne & Ann

[This is going to be me uncontrollably sobbing on Monday night when the ann(e)s are reunited and take the sacrament together]
The way Anne clutches Ann's hand in hers and anxiously taps it against Ann's chest throughout this scene because Ann’s there and Ann’s real and Ann grounds her but also terrifies her because she loves her so much and Ann isn’t phased by the contact because it’s Anne and it’s her person and it’s just normal and I’m not crying you’re crying.
A change of air is exactly what Dr. Belcombe prescribed. // He meant if I went to Paris and Rome with you. // Yes, but the time for that is gone now.
Your posts are comedy!! Please talk to me about Gentleman Jack😊
I find humor to be an effective means of assuaging all the FEELS I’m having, second only to large quantities of alcohol which would be inappropriate at the moment considering I’ve got work to do rn…
But in reality my insides look like this:
You wanna know why? Because this ^ scene. This scene broke me. This scene in which Anne - still with bruises on her face from the hired thug and bruises on her ego from Ann’s “I can’t” response to her proposal - tries to have sex with Ann and can’t, because she’s feeling too much. In which Anne “force-to-be-reckoned-with” Lister confesses how isolating and emotionally exhausting it is to have to “rise above” every day. In which Anne, who has spent the better part of 2 episodes now trying to convince herself that “she cares not much” for Ann, in this moment can’t deny how devastated she is that Ann came so close to being able to do this. This scene in which, despite the failed engagement, their impending distance, their utter heartbreak, Ann still holds Anne as she sobs into her face and chest, because this is what relationships between women are like - the one person who can absolutely level you is the only person who can bring you solace.
And honestly if “but you came so close” isn’t the fucking truest phrase in the world when it comes to lesbian relationships. How many of us have had our hearts broken, not because we did something wrong or didn’t try hard enough, but because someone else came so close but couldn’t. 🙋♀️. This scene fucking flattened me.
Look, Catherine, first of all, you must try not to get too upset. You’re doing all you can, you’re being very strong, and it’s exactly what she needs.
