Thomas Sharpe being mildly bewildered by everyone else's impressions of his sister, because he's used to how she acts when nobody else is around
what do you mean Lucille doesn't laugh or smile? she laughs all the time- very refined laughter, to be sure, but still! not blinking? now, what the devil are you on about? listen here, he's quite sure he knows his own sister and she blinks a perfectly ordinary amount
everyone else sees: a faintly terrifying walking red flag
Thomas sees: Oh She Is So Quietly Supportive And Intelligent And Pleasant To Be Around (Besides The Occasional Brutal Murder) UwU
I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat.
Edith is 24. The flashback at the beginning with Eleanor's ghost happens when she's 10, and then the main action takes place "14 years later" according to a title card onscreen
Thomas is 34, based on the date of the newspaper announcing Beatrice's murder (1879), his age at the time (12), and the present year shown in Carter Cushing's checkbook (1901)
Lucille is 36, from the same logic above. (people seem to enjoy interpreting their age gap as much larger, which is weird to me because it's stated onscreen? by Alan when he's confronting them near the end? even if you don't pause the movie to read document dates- understandable -"12 and 14 when Beatrice was murdered" makes the gap clear)
I just... i just needed to draw them
Happy Sharpe Saturday
Happy Birthday to Lucille Sharpe! (April 1st, 1865)
