Lovely Blog Party 2019 // Branson & Sybil

WAIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!

I'M HERE!!! FEBRUARY ISN'T OVER YET!!! 

So sorry for how ridiculously late this is, but work and school have just been eating my time up and writing has been sadly shoved aside. But I am determined to not let Cordy's Lovely Blog Party pass without writing up the post I've been dying to write! Now if you aren't already participating (or have no idea what this party is of which I speak (what a ridiculous notion!)) then head to Cordy's blog to find out what to do is about!

So, because this is a party all about couples, and love, and adorableness, I immediately realized a post devoted to our adorable Sybil Crawley and the ever amazing Tom Branson was the only way to go. Now I will do my utmost to make it through this post without fangirling like crazy, but I make no promises... 

These. Two. 

(help i can already feel the fangirl fuzzies coming on)

So if you have watched Downton Abbey, you know all about these two. For the benefit of those who have not seen it, I will give you a quick rundown.

Sybil is the youngest daughter of the Earl of Grantham. As such, she is expected to marry well, and live out the life of a fine lady moving in the best social circles. And Branson? He's a chauffeur from Ireland, and a revolutionary chauffeur at that! He is hired by Sybils's father, and you can imagine how things go from there...

I don't think I can even put into words how crazy much I love these two. I mean, from the beginning, Branson falls like a ton of bricks for Sybil. He sees what a kind, and caring and beautiful person she is, and and falls so in love with her. *squeeeeee!!!*

It takes Sybil a little longer, because after all, marrying Branson would mean leaving her entire life behind. But slowly, Sybil begins to realize that she is falling in love with Branson (and who could blame her, pray?). And of course... the news must be broken to Sybil's parents...

  
And then. THEN.

HORRORS!! SHE CANNOT MARRY THE CHAUFFEUR, OF ALL PEOPLE! THE SCANDAL! THE ABSURDITY! SYBIL WILL BE DISGRACED, TURNED AWAY FROM THE BEST SOCIAL CIRCLES!! THE WORLD CRUMBLES!!

And yet, Sybil is unmoved. But then!

Then comes Lord Grantham's worst threat...

"There will be no money."

Sybil simply smiles and replies with what could possibly be her best best line in the show...

"Well... Bully for that!"

The devotion that Sybil and Branson show for each other is probably one of the things that stands out the most to me. Despite the possibility of being disowned, and possibly never seeing her family again, Sybil stands steadfastly by Branson's side. And we all know that Branson could care less about the riches and all such rot, but he's never shy about standing up to Lord Grantham, something that most working class men would be terrified of. 

Even though we don't get to see much of the two while they are married there are the few scenes where we get to see just how crazy much these two love each other.

Like, this one... (cutest scene evah, evah, evah!!!!)

Sybil is always fast to support and defend Branson against the attacks of her family. And Branson? That dear darling boy has nothing in his heart to give but so much love. The way those two care for and love each other is just soooooooooo adorable and I just loves my wittle babies so much!!!! 

*squinches up face and squeals* 

  THIS. SCENE. 

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED

I. CAN'T. EVEN.

*SOBS*

They would go to the ends of the earth for each other and that is why I love Branson and Sybil. Their love and devotion for each other is so strong and they will forever and always be one of my most favoritest ships. Branson and Sybil forever, please and thanks!!!

So I suppose that brings us to the end! Again, So sorry that this is ridiculously late, and that I practically didn't participate at all, but life has been crazy. Do hop over and check out all the lovely posts everyone has contributed to Cordy's party!! TTFN, ta ta for now!!

Yours Truly,

Miss Woodhouse
