Tbh I kinda don’t want Sweetest Con to end, but we are almost there. Chapter 17 is up. Nearly 80k words of (hopefully) whatever this vibe is. #scarnash #missscarletpbs #season5whatseason5

Thinking about this passage, and how the question is just slotted in between paragraphs about Mr Hale’s friendship with Mr Thornton and Margaret looking for a house maid when the Hales can’t afford to compete with the mill wages and the girls tell them so.
After a quiet life in a country parsonage for more than twenty years, there was something dazzling to Mr. Hale in the energy which conquered immense difficulties with ease; the power of the machinery of Milton, the power of the men of Milton, impressed him with a sense of grandeur, which he yielded to without caring to inquire into the details of its exercise. But Margaret went less abroad, among machinery and men; saw less of power in its public effect, and, as it happened, she was thrown with one or two of those who, in all measures affecting masses of people, must be acute sufferers for the good of many. The question always is, has everything been done to make the sufferings of these exceptions as small as possible? or, in the triumph of the crowded procession, have the helpless been trampled on, instead of being gently lifted aside out of the roadway of the conqueror, whom they have no power to accompany on his march?

One of the things bringing me joy: when I see a series of likes on tumblr or kudos on AO3 from one user who just discovered the #scarnash ship. It’s basically this.

It’s pub day! You can now purchase this new edition of North & South featuring a conversation between myself and actor/activist Morgan Spector wherever books are sold!

A picture of a book. The cover is pink and features a top hat and a wide-brimmed hat. The title is North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. At the bottom, it says “in conversation with Adrienne Garcia-Specht and Morgan Spector” Picture of Adrienne. She is wearing a black turtle neck. She has short hair, round glasses, brown skin and eyes. She is smiling. Picture of Morgan. He is looking intently at the camera. He has a beard and full head of black hair.

The first person I thought of when I heard Juilliard plans to go tuition free
Screen cap from the film Save the Last fast featuring Julia Stiles, a blond white woman, dressed in black pants and shirt, making a weird hand gesture while leaning to the side on stage as part of her dance audition for Juilliard

Us after season 5 ended: they always write Nash off and he always comes back no biggie

Us after season 6 renewal announcement: 😩

But hope springs eternal. Season 7 🤞🏽 I can already hear the little trills of his theme and the “bonjour Eliza.”

A screen shot from Miss Scarlet season 3 episode “Hotel St Marc.” Eliza is looking unamused at Patrick who is unphased by her glare. The yellow text on Eliza says “all the other shows on my watch list” and the yellow text on Patrick says “me watching hotel st Marc again”

I miss the two months in 2024 when we thought Scarnash might actually become canon. #missscarletpbs

The send off was poignant and soothed my #scarnash heart a tiny bit. For me, their relationship arc has been the most satisfying on the show. #missscarletpbs

Hotel St Marc was (at airing) an under appreciated #missscarletpbs episode and I encourage everyone to revisit it!
