Personally I think it very fitting that a Blackthorn is on the Chain of Thornscover

“And give our love to the kiddies!!”

Your honour?? I love him

“…but whatever else we’ve learned about Tatiana we do feel pretty confident she was a strange one.”

…and the understatement of the year award goes to: Julian Blackthorn!!

I would like to keep reinforcing that Julian has an ELITE sense of humour

Emma and Julian bouncing jokes off of one another is just such a them thing to do

I’m still getting over the fact that Julian and Emma can just straight up talk to Rupert???

Does Rupert ever strike up a conversation with this newfound ability or does he just wait for Julian and Emma to coax him out??

Except Dru, who claims she’d rather keep it cursed for the ambience (not that she’s been here yet.)

And we love her for that.

Nobody:

Me: yes, Emma, Julian might be your boyfriend, but he’s MY husband.

Things I cried about in this week’s SoBH: a masterlist

1. Right off the bat, Julian being nervous about Ty coming over because he was afraid that things would be different
2. Emma writing on Julian’s hand with her finger just like old times
3. Julian and Emma hiding under the covers together
4. The entire scene where Ty dropped his duffel bag and ran up to Julian and Julian wrapped him up in a big hug
5. Julian calling Tiberius “Ty-Ty.”
6. Julian telling Ty to pick a room and decorate it however he likes — because that will be HIS ROOM NOW?? LIKE THAT’S NOW TY’S ROOM?? I AM SOBBING?? LIKE OMG THIS HOUSE IS FEELING LIKE A HOME??
7. Ty suggesting Sherlock and Watson statues for the garden.
8. THIS ART:

I’m imagining that Rupert didn’t surface for most of Ty’s visit because he was with hanging out with Livvy.

… we all thought the same thing, did we not?

Ty won many rounds of Cluedo. Canon. Confirmed.

“Yes,” he said, glancing over his shoulder at the high windows. “It’s a good room, I think.”

“Were you talking to your sister?” I said.

When I tell you my heart dropped—

Ragnor and Julian’s dynamic is not one I realised I needed this badly until I had it.

Ragnor not returning phone calls from literal decades ago is a whole ass mood.

“I kept asking her why she didn’t tell me, and she made that face she does when she’s trying not to cry,where her eyes get really wide…”

— Julian to Mark

“…and I missed what happened next because I was keeping my eyes very wide open and trying not to blink. It’s the best way I know how to keep from crying.”

— Emma to Bruce

I’m sorry but just look at this parallel. Look at how well they know each other.

This whole paragraph brought me to tears in a way you would. not. BELIEVE.

So considerate of you, Ty

Ty taught Irene how to high five

No because I can perfectly imagine Julian sitting there reading this letter with a big smile on his face because Ty is coming over and he’s just so excited to see him—
