I just had to have a Downton Abbey post. I can’t stop thinking about this show, so this is no doubt my new obsession. I think I’ve fallen in love with each character and I honestly cannot wait ‘til the next season.
My favorite characters:
Lady Sybil: Other than her being so kind and generous, I have lots in common with her. She can’t stand still. She always needs to get up and do something for the better, helping others and ensuring their happiness. I also love her voice :) It’s like a unique kind of raspy.
Lady Mary: I honestly think she’s the smartest and wisest out of the Crawley sisters. I like her voice too haha. It’s really bold. And I like the fact that she wants what’s best for her family, even if it puts her in a position where she doesn’t really love the man she is engaged to marry.
Matthew Crawley: Maybe because he’s cute. Haha but he’s more than that. He’s wise as well, and he loves Mary! <3

The Silencers (1966)

Kyz Kala, a 7th-century CE fortress outside of the city of Merv (in modern day Turkmenistan). Although now off the beaten path, Merv was a central trade city along the Silk Roads because it was near a key oasis in the dry central Asian environment. By the twelfth century, it was one of the largest cities in the world, containing perhaps 200,000 people. When the Mongols arrived in the 1220s, they supposedly slaughtered almost the entire population of the city, and Merv never regained its prominence.
