still crying over north & fucking south like wtf he just like looks at her and he’s not even listening as she tells him how she’s basically gonna save him from bankruptcy and shit and he’s not listening cause he’s just so in love with her and he’s staring at her so tenderly and in love and i just oh goodness i’ve made myself cry again
it’s just so good wtf im dying make the agony stop please

I’VE MADE A MISTAKE I ENDED UP REWATCHING THE LAST EPISODE OF ‘NORTH AND SOUTH’, AND NOW I’M ON THE FLOOR CRYING INTO MY BOTTLE OF VITAMIN WATER - FUCKING HELL I REGRET THIS DECISION SOMEONE COME AND RESCUE ME FROM THE FEELINGS

North and South has once again killed me. That man will be the end of me. His face. His talent. His… EVERYTHING?!?? Why????

I was just fawning over Mr. Thornton because hello, Richard Armitage in period clothing and speaking with his deep, dark cadence under the influence of soft and impassionate feelings for Margaret. (“I do not wish to possess you, I wish to marry you because I love you!” and then I wheezed and fainted brb.)

Just seen North and South (with Richard Armitage) and omg, I cried, and cried and cried even more and why is Rihard Armitage soooo perfect! His eyes, and his whole face and his everything!

Yesterday I watched North and South (at last!), the four episodes in a row, and I cried like a baby at the end

This is the most emotional four episode show I’ve ever watched… #UGH #These feelings

THE SEXUAL TENSION BETWEEN THORNTON AND MARGARET WAS ALMOST TOO MUCH LIKE WHEN THEY FINALLY KISSED IN THE LAST EPISODE I WAS LITERALLY SWOONING BECAUSE IT FINALLY HAPPENED.

 

And I am ablutely, completely, and one-hundred percent dead.  Richard Armitage, you are a god amongst men, and I am utterly in love with you.

I cry…well tear up…cry…I JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT THIS SCENE!! It is just so perfect and cute and wonderful and fluffy and just makes me cry with happiness. The first time I saw it I thought she wasn’t going to see him on the other side of the track but THEN SHE DID!!  AND THAT KISS. Okay for reals THAT is how it’s done guys. Sweet, gentle, and with all the passion in the world. 

i just saw north&south for the first time and just need to express my love for all the actors, and the crew, because the sets were amazing, and the director and just everyone involved and it was so good and i have butterflies in my stomach and ya. Okay. Bye.
