Because they are steadfast in their love Because they defended their love to all those against them and won Because they are confident in their love for one another Because their love is based in friendship that has built up over many years Because he couldn't help overhearing that she was interested in Women's rights Because he looked through the window to see her new frock Because she was grateful for the pamphlets Because he brought her pamphlets to read Because she hopes that he does go into politics Because she doesn't want him to go to prison Because she is glad he won't die or go to prison Because he is her ticket Because he knows that she loves him Because she knows he'll make something of himself Because he will stay at Downton until she wants to run away Because she knows when he's angry and troubled Because she stood up for him against her father Because he was more scared she was hurt than at the prospect of losing his job Because they held hands so naturally Because she is always goes to the garage to seek him out Because he has promised to devote every waking moment to her happiness Because she touched his cheek Because she wants to know if he will wait a bit longer Because he would wait forever for her Because he is always staring at her when no one is looking Because he smiled when he saw her in the kitchen baking Because he knows she is enjoying her work as a nurse Because they can discuss things as equals Because he touched her waist and she felt the connection Because she is willing to give up her entire world to be with him Because all that matters is that they love each other Because she wanted to know why he made a promise to Carson and not to her Because she said "us" and didn't deny it Because she has feelings even though she's good at hiding them Because he has waited all this time and still can't believe she said yes Because she said he could kiss her Because all he wants to do is kiss her Because he slept on the chair and gave her the bed Because he can pay his own way Because she gave him her heart Because she will be true to him Because she has decided she is going to marry Tom! Because all he wants is to make her happy Because of the passion for their beliefs and each other. Because convention is merely a hurdle to be overcome rather than an insurmountable barrier to their hopes and desires Because he said she looked "very fine" and she didn't mind him checking her out Because she wondered where he had been all day Because they have their own theme music! Because she told her father that if he was fired she would run away Because he offered to teach her how an engine works Because he said it was up to her Because it cost him all he had to say those things to her Because if she didn't care she would have told on him all those months ago Because he's frightfully full of himself! Because he risked a broken heart and didn't care a damn for his job, as he loved her Because if Granny says Sybil's husband will tell her what her opinions are, then she must marry a man who shares the same opinions! Because they are a modern love story Because she knows her own mind Because he wants to make her happy more than anything else in the world Because she won't give him up! Because he knows she'll come the moment he calls Because even Granny admits he has many virtues Because of the way she said "and then we will marry" Because they were the only two people smiling and happy at the funeral Because her father gave them his blessing in the end Because he shook her father's hand Because they walked into their future hand and hand Because instead of saying Sybil/Branson, we can all say Sybil Branson Because even Cora started to shipping them after the news she was gonna be a granny Because "Ireland 2-Downton 0" Because Branson would always choose Love against Political Activism Because Allen wants Tom to say "Sybil, le permite desnudarse" Because the new Chauffer Robert hired is old and ugly Because they're married Because there is a baby on the way!

Now that I got the new thread going, next job up is I'm going to work on the title post to bring FFs in line.
I've added the following shippers to our list: Pinkink, queenofsarcasm, Beebbop, btvs-formerly cole's pheobe, *OldHollywoodStarlet*, HarshBench Please let me know if I've missed you or misspelled your username. I hope that you shippers don't mind that I went with "Believe it or not, I will stay true to you." First i'm going to eat supper and read through the last batch of posts, and then I'll get to working on the FFs. __________________

I think I have the FF section right. Finally!
If anyone has any further FFs they'd like to rec, please post a link and i will add it to the list in the title post. I have a new appreciation for those who start off threads/create the title posts. There's just so many little things to consider. Yikes! Quote:

I don't exactly know how many children Mairin has. lol. However, four of them have been mentioned in my story thus far. No, she's not expecting currently, but her youngest in The Journey to Happiness is a baby girl, Deirdre. SAHM = Stay At Home Mom. I love gaelic names, so I couldn't resist.  Gotta run. Will be back tomorrow to comment more. __________________

October 1919 - Sybil gets pregnant. late December 1919 - Sybil writes to her mother about the pregnancy that she only confirmed days before. I thought this timeline should be in this thread. Series three covers 18 months apparently. So if the Christmas episode ended in January 1920 with Matthew and Mary getting engaged. Series 3 probably starts up again in say February/March 1920 and goes into July/August 1921. The baby if Sybil is 3/4 months pregnant in January is probably born in July/August of 1920. __________________

Thank you for bringing the timeline over.
I would love it if we got to see moments through the whole journey of them with the baby then. I hope we get to see her having the baby. Maybe a baby shower. __________________

 We cannot change them, they can only do that themselves All that we can do is stand by our ship and defended to show that not everyone agrees with them.I wonder if our forum has a tumblr page? I ask this because because we could put one together and use a lot of gifs from the series to back up our points. I found this gif and you only need to take a look at Sybil and not agree that she looks and seems to be feeling out of place in that Drawing Room http://sallyjessyrofl.tumblr.com/post/17766399649 I could help getting the gifs together if anyone is interested?  Quote:
 because all those haters put me off  . I mean they should be happy that this is the principal ship in the show (hence they have so much more screentime) BUT YET they go on hating on our ship in a very unreasonable and irrational manner. And I’m like WTF?     HarshBench, I agree with you on BIBs above  The BIB* I quite agree, I mean I think this also shows the strength of Sybil's loyalty and love for Tom, she is ready to move forward in life and do her heart's desire.  Plums, I agree with the BIB1, all these haters have really pushed me to agree with BIB2. While I could never hate them I’ll not be going Gaga crazy for them next series. I still love them but I’m not that interested in going to forums exclusive to M/M anymore. I wonder if we could put Scarlet's timeline on the op post? Quote:

Regarding the timeline- Just watch, Scarlet, Julian Fellowes will further prove that he doesn't put nearly as much thought into the integrity of his story as fans such as yourself do when we return in Spring of 1920, and Sybil will already have a giant baby, a la Ethel.

 I hope that their baby is not unrealistically big, I mean we always get bombarded with this baby ads for baby products. Those babies are cute and small , it would be more realistically if the baby looks the right size. Even the new UD,has a newly born baby and the Call the midwife too. So there are plenty of small babies to go around. PLEASE DOWNTON PRODUCERS GET THE THE BABY SIZE RIGHT. also back then baby use to have a low birth weight if they want to more realist and accurate. __________________

Thanks for bringing over the timeline. Please note that the exact dates don't come from the episodes because other than via historical events, Julian rarely has dates in his stories and in fact, sometimes there are goofs such as William and his death date occurring two weeks before the start of the Battle of Amiens and references to the Easter Rising are chronologically off. So, for example, the week that 2x08 appears in the timeline could easily be two weeks later or the week before. I just picked the second Saturday of April for M/L's wedding because it was just before Easter and Tom getting a job offer would make better sense earlier in April. Quote:

Also, I'm bad with graphics, which is what Tumblr is all about.Quote:
Thank you. I strive for realism and coherence. Quote:

And if I wasn't trying to write an S/T FF that needs concrete time info, I wouldn't have noticed the inconsistencies.Though we got a small spoiler in an interview back in January that we will see Sybil pregnant because there was an interview that someone linked to in the last thread where LC and JBF were talking about getting fitted for costumes and JBF let out that she doesn't have to wear a corset, to wit LC said that those who watched the C/S would know why.  Quote:
They will never have a newborn baby even when the baby is first handed to the mother because they need a baby to be approximately 3 months (at least in the US) in order for them to be able to work. Also, with something like Downton, they would need twins in order to get the filming in within schedule and while there are more twins born now that there's IVF, you'd still need to find a pair that had similar colouring to the parents and are cooperative on set. Reason babies are smaller in ads is because filming is less intensive than a whole show. I just take cues from how Ethel held the baby. When Baby Charlie first showed up, he was cradled in his mother's arms which is appropriate with the age depicted. As he got 'older', he was held to be sitting up. Unfortunately, you can't do more than that.This board is so hopping that I just got through the posts on this thread and I have to go. Will be back later to comment on posts at the end of the previous thread. __________________

About the tumblr thing I could help but it would be very sperodic  maybe if someone could put together some of the haters arguments against Tom and S/T .I think that an easier format and user-friendly layout would help to break down everything in more manageble chunks?__________________
