Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane in Gaudy Night
(I lost it at this point)
not to be crude but like: smoooooth motherfucker #on the other hand he just drops that and NOPES out immediately of the entire conversation like han solo style #so i guess limited smoothness in context #but honestly: this is heart-stopping and they didn’t need to go this hard but they did #well played all round chaps #gaudy night #dorothy l sayers #gif (via @harrietvane)
#may i also draw your attention to:#peter’s little head-title and smile before the invitation#harriet’s response like GAUNTLET THROWN AND I’M HERE FOR IT#peter’s slight pause of ‘oh crap think of anything else to say welp i guess this is what we’re going with’#and then noping out plus MONOCLE ARMOR UP #gaudy night#dorothy l. sayers mysteries #edward petherbridge #harriet walter (via @talkingpiffle)
#peter/harriet #the otp #gaudy night #and NO ONE is going to talk about the look on her face as her eyes follow him? #look at her MOUTH #look at that little intake of breath #like you guys agree that’s the look of someone totally turned on right? #that’s the face of someone who’s really looking forward to seeing what he wears while boating #they haven’t even gotten into the punt yet and they’re already into it #and he’s just like SHIT I love her #yeah he’s so smooth #that’s how he ended up blurting out a marriage proposal within five minutes of meeting her #that dork (via @peristeronicsuperhero)
